The greek system’s Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils will hold their annual elections Tuesday in the Union.
At 6 p.m. in the A, B and C parlors, candidates for each council are scheduled to give a speech, followed by a question and answer period.
Each chapter is allowed one vote that is in good standing with the majority of its members, said Josh Tudor, Interfraternity Council president and political theory and constitutional democracy senior.
“They are determining their leadership for the next year,” Tudor said.
The candidates for the Interfraternity Council are international relations/economics junior Paul Hage for president; accounting junior Timothy Weiss for vice president of administration; no-preference sophomore Jeffrey Nowaske and international relations junior Bill Novotny for vice president of internal relations; general management freshman Amit Mehta and chemistry sophomore Steven Schauer for vice president of external relations; marketing junior Bryan Taggart and international relations junior Alexander Novak for vice president of finance; finance sophomore Brandon Lesniak, humanities and pre-law junior Ben Peelle and advertising junior Todd Angevine for vice president of recruitment.
Information about the candidates for Panhellenic Council was not available Sunday.
Animal science senior Scott Benzler of Alpha Gamma Rho said his chapter will be attending the election to choose the best candidates to fill each position.
“I think it’s important to elect a leader who will lead the greek community as a whole and not just their own chapter,” he said.
Caryn Coller, Panhellenic delegate of Alpha Gamma Delta and a criminal justice senior, said her chapter is looking to elect a good role model for the greek system.
“I think it’s very important to encourage young women to rush because we have had recruitment problems in the past,” she said.
Susie Muzbeck, coordinator of greek life, said the past council did a great job, and she is looking forward to the successes of the new council.
“I’m excited for the potential of all the greeks that applied for a position,” she said.
Each of the newly elected positions will take effect on Jan. 1.
