Brianna is the President of Ceres Women’s Fraternity and is graduating this December. She will have a Bachelors of Science degree in Animal Industry Management. She has held many leadership positions within Ceres before,

including Vice President, Panhellenic Delegate, and Risk Management, just to name a few. Brianna is also a member of Rho Lambda, Or-der of Omega, and Alpha Zeta.

Next month, Alpha Delta Pi will have quite a few sisters receive diplomas and begin post-grad life. Through the years, the women of our organization

have shown their utmost dedication to strengthening our Greek pillars. Though they will be deeply missed, we are excited to see them transition from Delta members to Pi members, which is the final stage of ADPi membership, as these women will soon become official ADPi alumnae. We love our

seniors, and will always remember that diamonds are forever!

“MGC Showcase” By: Yesenia Garcia, Graduate Assistant for Fraternity & Sorority Life All eyes were on the Multicultural Greek Council during their 2nd annual showcase! On November 13th, 280 students gathered in the Brown Ballroom to see special performances from each organization and learn of their histories and traditions.

Did you know?

A member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

helped the founding fathers of

Sigma Lambda Beta start their fraternity from

the ground up? The MGC showcase featured a

Unity Performance between these two “cousin”

organizations. (Right)

Delta Phi Lambda

Showing unity before educating the

community on their mission:

To advocate Asian awareness and

empower women leaders through its

values-based programs and everlasting

sisterhood. (Left)

The entire Greek Community showed support for this event and were in for some huge surprises along the way!

As the end of the semester and my presidency draws near, a feeling of bitter sweetness is set-ting in. Looking back at the last year, it seems so strange that it is all coming to an end. To my CPC board, old and new, thank you for everything you do. Your hard work has changed this community for the better and you have left behind a great legacy. To my chapter, thank you for supporting me in eve-rything I do, especially my chapter president, Abbie. Thank you for pushing me to apply for president. Your encouragement really meant a lot to me. To my roommates, past and pre-sent, thank you for putting up with my crazy Panhellenic brain and for listening whenever I needed you. To Ron, thank you for being such a great advisor. Thank you for letting us make major decisions and for helping us grow and develop, knowing we had your support if we needed it. Thank you for always going to bat for us. To the entire Greek community, thank you for giving me the privilege of serving you. This experience certainly has been one of a lifetime. Finally, to the 2015 board, all the best wishes to you. I know you will ac-complish great things. After two years, it is going to be strange to have Wednesday nights not filled with Pan-hellenic meetings, but I'm excited to see what the future holds for our community. “If someone could please motion to adjourn this meeting…”

“A Farewell from Adrian” By: Adrian Fait, 2014 CPC President

College Panhellenic Council

Every semester, Panhellenic women who achieved a GPA

of 3.6 or higher for the previous semester are celebrated by our Scholarship Reception. The Fall 2014 Scholarship Reception was held Saturday, November 15 at Starplex Cinema! These women enjoyed a free screening of “She's the Man” for their academic success of Spring 2014!

“Scholarship Banquet” By: Sara Balwierczak, VP of Scholarship

The Panhellenic Scholar for September 2014 is Jillian Hickey from Zeta Tau Alpha! She has been very in-volved in her chapter, having even served as her chapter president, and understands that the extent of your Greek experience is based on how much you put into it, and so she tries to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible.

“Panhellenic Sisterhood Social” By: Alexa Carr, VP of Community Development

The College Panhellenic Council had a great time cheering on the Redbird Hockey team as they crushed Eastern Illinois 14-1 at our all Greek sisterhood social!

Over 100 women came out to spend time with their sisters both inside

and outside their chapters and also loved supporting Toys for Tots,

participating in a hockey shootout, and winning prizes.

COMING

FALL 2016

Fraternity & Sorority

Life and the College

Panhellenic Council

are excited to

announce

has been selected as

the newest addition to

our campus

community.

to colonize in Fall

2016 and will offer

something new and

exciting for women

looking to affiliate.

Interfraternity Council

The Interfraternity council has been hard at work this semester ensuring that our community operates at nothing short of success. It was a task that all members took very seriously and collectively resulted in the most successful term in recent IFC history.

Not only are we seeing exponential growth within the council, but this election cycle yielded more members running for executive board positions than ever before. We are also seeing increased contributions from each individual fraternity.

This culture shift has come from working collectively to ensure that we watch out for one another and overcome obstacles. With leaders throughout different organiza-tions here on campus I am excited to see what the future has in store for Greek life. It has been an honor to serve, not only my fraternity, but the Interfraternity Council as president. I can’t wait to keep the count going.

“Two Terms & Counting” By: Joseph Laskey, 2014 IFC President

Alpha Sigma Phi has been actively engaging in Service Activities throughout the semester. This month, the Fraternity served with Home Sweet Home Ministries at both Cub Foods and Wal-Mart location. They also participated in St. Jude’s Up Till Dawn program put on by ESA to raise money and awareness of Childhood Cancer. The picture above shows the brothers of the fraternity cleaning Fell Ave in their semester Adopt a Highway project.

“Thank You” By: Yesenia Garcia, Graduate Assistant Fraternity/Sorority Life

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life as well as the 2014 Interfraternity Council general body would like to express its sincerest gratitude to the 2014 IFC Executive Board. In one semester, this IFC Ex-ecutive Board introduced heavy legislation to reform the governance of the council, created an adjudi-cation process to hold others accountable, and introduced roundtables in order to foster interfraternal collaborations. In addition, they led their entire council in the most successful recruit-ment in recent history yielding the highest GPA among new members to date. They worked tirelessly to change the culture of the entire fraternal community and thus have made a lasting impression that will carry on for semesters to come. The 2015 Executive Board has big shoes to fill.

On Friday, November 14th the men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. stood in front of Schroeder Plaza, and did a Step & Stroll for Food/Donations. The Quad was a buzz with people donating canned goods, clothing and toys and watching the brothers perform. The event was very successful and all proceeds have been donated to a homeless shelter here in the Bloomington-Normal area.

On the night of November 14th from 6-8pm the men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. cospon-sored an event with FLAME and Gamma Phi Ome-ga Sorority, Inc. The event was held in the Prairie Room and brought awareness to sexual violence, consent, and women’s oppression.

The event was titled '100 Pledges of Consent' and we were successful in reaching our goal of getting 100 people to take the pledge.

On Saturday, November 15 from 3-5, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. held community service at the Babyfold along with Illinois State’s Black Student Union. The Baby Fold is a non profit organization for children who don’t do well in home settings because of behavioral issues due to experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. The Baby Fold is somewhere they can heal. Service projects included baking and decorating cookies, drawing, and spending time with kids reflecting on what they are most thankful for.
