Project Title: “Inter-Sorority PR Event Planning at IWU”

 

Project Summary: 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, as well as ill-will between said sorority 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 to bolster public relations (PR) for sororities on IWU’s campus amongst 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 activites 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. The project must be presented for the approval of the Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life as well as the Panhellenic Council.
