 Will be contacting everyone’s recruitment chair.
 Need a better grasp on Phired up before talking about it.
 Bid night will be March 11th unless said otherwise. Time will be brought up.
 Not on a contract with the rec center. They are our top choice
Old Business:
Open discussion on bid night:
 Mohammed: Bid night has always been on a Tuesday. If we want sororities to be there it would
have to on a day other than Tuesday.
 Mohammed: How involved would Sororities be? Some of them aren’t recruiting so far.
 Anthony: We need more information about this before talking more about it.
 Kevin: Would be nice to have them share their goals with us.
 Micheal: If we are going to involve them then we need to do the same thing we would normally
do.
 Cory: If they are just guests then the turnout might not be as good. Go big or go home.
 Roger: Maybe setting it later will make it easier for them to show up. Everyone will already be
dressed up on a Tuesday
 Victor: It is a roughly 2 hour long event. It might go to late into the evening.

Open discussion on Greek Room:
 Jordan: Thoughts on ways to improve the Greek room.
 Micheal: Would this be part of our budget? Most the things in the Blue Key room are from
alumni donations.
 Cory: Josiah and I haven’t talked numbers.

Roger: Taylor and the rest of her committee may have ordered crests for the Greek Room. A big
graph of fraternal words. 150th photo exhibit will be up there temporarily (vintage photos of life
on campus)
 Alex: would be nice to talk to Taylor about getting this done, or having each chapter donating
something.
Discussion closes
Open on discussion video to promote Fraternity Life:
 Jordan: Could team up with PHA and MGC to make a video promoting Fraternity and
Sorority life.
 Kevin: Get screen time on union TV’s to promote Greek Week. See about getting this during
the passing period.
 Victor: Getting things on the TV screen is simple. Talk to the people in the ID office. Just a
matter of making the video.
Discussion Closes
Open discussion on recruitment work shop with Sigma Alpha Epsilon:
 Roger: We would role-play with members from Sigma Alpha Epsilon to practice recruiting
rather than doing it with people you may know. Maybe a 3 or 4 hour event on a Saturday.
 Micheal: New partnership would help people stop being iffy about Phired up.
 Jordan: Jason Bosche wanted to see if we were willing to do this. It is also Interfraternalism.
Discussion Closes
Open discussion on FRAP evaluation.
 Roger: It will be announced for the next meeting. It is good to evaluate ourselves to keep
us improving.
 Cory: Fraternities that do well on a nationwide evaluation don’t always do as well at
ESU.
 Daniel: Seems like they just want to know what we are doing.
 Micheal: It is good to have our chapters to align with the Campus goals.
 Kevin: the process for getting done doesn’t have the best structure. No other RSO has to
do a FRAP besides Fraternities.
 Jordan: Might want to space out how often we have to do it.
 Roger: It is a big investment of time on both sides. Maybe the process could be
streamline. Work on simplicity.
Discussion Closes.
Announcements:
 Kevin: For Basketball Washburn Ichabods are coming down February 22nd. Pack the house! Pep rally
will be beforehand.
 Roger: Student Gala associated with the 150th which will be on the 20th at 8pm. They will show the
video.
 Mohammed: Email sent about registering for the Gala.
 Jordan: Help up till dawn raise money for St. Jude. Mosaic is soon.
Advisor Report:
 Been meeting with chapter presidents. Rescheduled some meetings due to the snow.
 Encourage chapters to use AFLV info.

We need to define ourselves before other define us. We do good at setting the standard. Always room
for improvement.
