VI. Reports
A. Officer Reports
· President Michaels ():
o Hello Everyone, hope you all have a great week of classes!
o The Panhellenic Executive Board is asking chapters donate for Campus Connections, which is a for-credit, service-earning course that pairs UNC students as mentors with local community youth (ages 11-18). Campus Connections mentors spend four hours once a week with their mentee in a group setting to provide academic support, career planning, and positive social skill development. More information about the program can be found here: www.unco.edu/campus-connections
§ For the donation drive sororities will be asked to collect snacks:
§ No candy, Snack items must be sealed, individually packaged, and nonperishable (please do not donate a large bag of chips or a tub of pretzels)
§ Examples of requested snacks: chips, crackers, granola bars, snack bags of cookies
§ Walmart, Costco, or Sam’s sells these items in bulk, which may get you more “bang for your buck”
§ Mentors and Mentees meet for 12 weeks so we are trying to collect enough snack items to cover at least 12 weeks
§ The sorority chapter who collects the largest number of snack items will win pizza during one of their chapter meetings
§ Please do not separate out the items - leave them in the box/container you purchased them in
§ We will not count individual items – for example, if you turn in a box that contains 18 individual chip bags that will only count as 1 item not 18 (which is why we need you to keep the items in the box you purchased them in)
§ Each chapter should collect the snack items at their individual chapter house then bring them to Panhellenic Meeting on Monday, February 13 (in a box or large garbage bag)
o The first official Circle of Sisterhood committee meeting will be held on February 7th at 6pm at the Office of Student life.
o The next President’s meeting will be on Tuesday, February 7th at 8pm.
o We need liaisons, so please come talk to me after meeting if you are interested!
