Pre-Recruitment sessions shed light on greek system

September 4, 2001

Students curious about greek life and its opportunities may want to attend information sessions to be held across campus today and Wednesday.

The sessions will be held in various residence halls and at the Union and will focus on the Recruitment process later this month, and any questions students may have about the greek system.

“The Interfraternity and Panhellenic Council executive boards will be presenting at these information sessions,” said Interfraternity Council President Josh Tudor. “We’re expecting the majority will be freshmen and sophomores, but it’s open to anyone, and we welcome anyone who’s interested in the greek community.”

While pre-Recruitment orientations have been held on campus in past years, this will be the first year the Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils will offer more general information on greek life.

“This year is geared toward what Recruitment is, what greek life is all about, what it has to offer and how the process works,” said assistant director of student life Billy Molasso.

Also different from past years is the location of the information sessions. This year, several of the sessions will be held in more central parts of campus, where each of the major residence hall complexes will be represented.

The sessions at residence halls are meant to be smaller in order to accommodate more questions from students about greek life.

“We’ll have more one-on-one contact, and it will be a good opportunity to really talk to us about the possibilities of the greek system,” said Panhellenic Council President and psychology senior Kristine Tippen.

Molasso also said students interested in being a part of the greek system should take notice of the four greek ideals: scholarship, leadership, service, and friendship.

“I think that if you look in our history across the country and at Michigan State, men and women have gone on to really lead in education and the business world,” he said. “We have a lot of strong students that come out of our system.”
