’05 Inter-Sorority PR Event Planning at IWU

Untitled-5

Kyle Charles, Pat Kleszynski, Amy Rohalla, Mary Roth, and Carmen Simkins -the Facilitators of this project- wanted to address the relationship issues between sororities on the IWU campus and procure a way in which to resolve said issues. There was much tension between individual sorority houses and their members, and IWU faculty and staff. Their goal was to work with the governing body of all the recognized sororities on campus-the Panhellenic Council-to plan an event that would bolster public relations (PR) between sororities, faculty, and staff, as well as give sorority members an opportunity to interact in a fun and relaxed environment. Members from different sororities would be paired up, thereby finding themselves having to work together to plan and lead academic and athletic activities for the faculty and staff’s children during the event. The facilitators produced a background information packet as well as a “How-To” packet in the hopes that it will help future organizers.
