Great discussion about expansion and what that will look like here at Missouri State
University. One of the advisors offered that a long term plan for expansion would be
helpful. Additionally, comments were made about history and legacy however, this is a
student run project and they will have their say.
Swine Flu Update

Question came up about sorority recruitment and what would happen if there was a
swine flu outbreak? Fraternity and Sorority Life will think through that question.
NPC Award

Our local Panhellenic won a national risk management award and will be receiving this
