Students focused on group dynamics and working with others on Saturday. The students participated in team builders to better work together. As a large group the students argued in “The Great Greek Debate” to determine whether or not EMU Greek Life is valuable and should continue to exist. The objective was to get the students to focus on the changes they need to make to improve EMU’s Greek Life, and ensure that it is a valuable investment for the campus and its members. Additionally, the students participated in roundtable discussions regarding hot button topics such as substance abuse, racial tensions, and new leadership in the Greek life office.

GLA: Sunday

The students broke into their small groups and created a “SMART” goal for the EMU Greek community, their council, or their individual chapter. The students displayed their goals around the room and walked around the room to read and leave feedback for their peers to use when working toward their goal. This day focused on forward thinking and supporting one another in the journey to growing EMU Greek Life.
