remarks are 10:30. It ends at 5:00.
 Thank you to all the new members who came to the New Member orientation!
 Excuse forms procedure for Panhel events is as follows:

Bre opened the floor for discussion on where Academic Reception should be
either at Moore Hall or at the Library level A. We agreed to wait for the head
count and then decide where to have it.
Rethink Greek is how Chapters discuss Greek life to non-Greek life individuals.
It is a marketing campaign that happens on campus. It will help Chapters spread
the positive story of Greek life.
