Unanimous Executive Board Reports: President: Alex Richardson Email: aricha16@students.towson.edu Good behavior last two weekends. Attended a NGLA in Connecticut. Compared to other schools, we are on top of our stuff. Some schools struggle when it comes to Greek Life information and relationships with their school. Wants to bring a speaker to Towson that spoke at the NGLA conference. Be safe for Spring Break 2015. Vice President: Kyle Bamberger Email: kbambe2@students.towson.edu Enhancing the committee system for all groups. By being on a committee, you get to communicate with IFC more and become more involved. You also get to voice your opinion and vote on decisions. VP of Judicial Affairs: Paul Rakhman Email: prakhm1@students.towson.edu Good job during bid acceptance weekend. When a sorority is blacklisted, they had an activity with an underground fraternity. IFC doesn’t sanction them, we just agree we will not have any social event with them for a set of time. If an IFC fraternity has an event with the blacklisted sorority, the sorority will not get in trouble, the IFC fraternity will. Phi Mu blacklist is over on April 22nd 2015. Do not dirty rush. Talking bad about other fraternities is considered dirty rushing. VP of Recruitment: Corey Turner Email: cturne15@students.towson.edu Bid weekend went well. Corey wants to make a rush committee made up of all of the chapters rush chairs. Recruitment is 24/7 Feel free to give more bids out during the semester.
