1 fraternity & sorority advisory council annual report

2 Cornell University Fraternity and Sorority Creed Adopted Fall 1999 We, the Fraternity and Sorority system of Cornell University, exist to cultivate the intellectual, social and ethical development of our members in an environment of freedom with responsibility. As such, we reaffirm our vision and values that serve as the foundation in guiding us in our personal and academic lives. We commit to scholarship and learning foremost in our daily activities, and we dedicate ourselves to leadership and personal growth as we aspire to enhance the surrounding community through strong leadership. We strive to emphasize teamwork and commitment in achieving our goals, and we aim to help others through philanthropy and service. We promote determination and self-confidence through programming that encourages mutual support and respect for our peers, our university, and the greater community. We aim to foster diversity and appreciation of differences among all members of the Greek system, and we strive to set a standard and support others as they work toward this goal. We develop bonds of friendship through tradition that strengthens our chapters, our university, and our community.

4 one 2Creating Chapters of Excellence (CCE) As a part of the university Residential Initative, the fraternity and sorority community has been piloting Creating Chapters of Excellence (CCE) over the course of the last four years. With tremendous support of alumni, this effort has focused on improving the Cornell Fraternity and Sorority community through individualized chapter level support from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. CCE is designed to take a multifaceted approach, applying the founding principles and current values of our fraternal organizations to today s setting. This includes promoting interactive experiences with faculty, staff, and alumni; creating cultural and educational opportunities for members; and improving facility and financial management of each chapter. The program is voluntary, but brings with it additional support and incentives to motivate chapters to align behaviors, standards, and programming with what has become known as the Creating Chapters of Excellence Philosophy. The CCE model attempts to achieve the same level of opportunities for student learning and quality living as we have seen in campus residence halls and theme houses while recognizing the unique purpose of fraternal organizations. Throughout the past year we have continued to emphasize a partnership among students, faculty, alumni, and staff and promote the student-centered, and self-governed nature of our Greek Community. Near Peer Fellows One of the hallmarks of Creating Chapters of Excellence has been the evolution of the Near Peer Fellow program. This past year the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs hired four recent graduates as part-time Graduate Fellows in order to provide chapters with additional staff support and mentorship dedicated to the programmatic, organizational, and selfdevelopment needs of the leadership of the chapters. Andrea Ippolito 06, Lisa Floyd 01, Frederick Hawkins, and Brandon Smetana 06 were trained to act as liaisons and mentors for student leaders, giving chapters more attention than ever before with the expectation providing consistent support and guidance. Each of the near peer fellows assisted leaders with goal setting, program planning, and addressed the unique needs of each of the six chapters for with which they work. Events, Programming and Services Chapters used Creating Chapters of Excellence funds to support a number of programs and services for their membership, the Greek system, Cornell, as well as the Ithaca community. What follows is a partial listing of events for the academic year. Sigma Alpha Epsilon invited Nicole Augustine of Gannett Health Center to present a program entitled, Alcohol and You. The chapter also showed the short film Tell me something I Don t Know documenting the death of an MIT student. Lambda Pi Chi hosted an informational session on leadership facilitated by Dr. Debyii Sababu Thomas. Dr. Sababu Thomas is an associate professor at Howard University in Communications. She led a lecture about leadership which was followed by a networking reception, where students were able to make connections with professors and other faculty in attendance. Kappa Kappa Gamma held a Sisterhood Speed Dating and Cultural Food night. At this program, Sisters of the chapter spanning all four years gathered to enjoy four different ethnic foods as they rotated through conversations and interacted with sisters from other new member classes. Upperclassmen were encouraged to interact with the underclassmen and new members were exposed to a sampling of the ethnic foods available around Ithaca. Theta Delta Chi, in partnership with the Cornell Law School, sponsored a lecture by Park Dietz 70 who has examined the most notorious criminals of the past 25 years and used the lessons they teach to help Americans avoid victimization. Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Phi, Delta Chi, Kappa Delta, and Pi Delta Psi organized a Halloween event for the local soup kitchen, Loaves & Fishes. Each chapter organized a different component of the event, including Halloween games, painting pumpkins, door prizes, decorations, desserts, and trick-or-treating for the children at the event. Sigma Pi partnered with Cornell Outdoor Education to organize a new member event on the Finger Lakes Trail. New members were split into groups, each with leaders trained in orienteering. The groups, led by the new member trained in orienteering, traveled to a rendezvous point where brothers were waiting to camp for the night. The event exposed new members to outdoors/survival skills while participating in activities promoting team building, problem solving, and leadership development. Twenty brothers of Delta Chi traveled to New York City and networked with alumni through a weekend series of events. Some highlights of the event included presenting the progress of the chapter in a formal setting and the unveiling of the blueprints for the remodeling of their chapter house. Theta Delta Chi hosted a screening of Orphans of Mathare, a 60-minute film that documents the lives of former street children many orphaned by HIV/AIDS now living at the Good Samaritan Children s Home, an orphanage and school in the Mathare Slum of Nairobi, Kenya. The film is the recipient of Rosa Luxemburg Award at New England Film and Video Festival in 2003 and the award for Best Documentary at the Ivy Film Festival in Participating Chapters: Interfraternity Council Alpha Tau Omega Chi Phi Delta Chi Phi Gamma Delta Phi Kappa Tau Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Phi Society Sigma Pi Tau Kappa Epsilon Theta Delta Chi Panhellenic Association Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Epsilon Phi Kappa Delta Kappa Kappa Gamma Multicultural Greek Letter Council Alpha Kappa Alpha Lambda Pi Chi Pi Delta Psi

5 two Sign of the Times The 2007 MGLC Executive Board display their unity through the use of hand signs. Hand signs started in the 1970 s as part of the Black fraternal experience and is seen as an outward expression for organizational identification and to display pride. Since that time, Latin and Asian Greeks began to adopt their own individual hand signs relevant to their national organizations. Self-governance is the hallmark of the fraternity and sorority experience. Membership in the fraternity and sorority community is divided among three councils: the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Letter Council, and the Panhellenic Association. Although each council has individual goals and objectives, there are shared opportunities for leadership and educational efforts. The following highlights several cross-council initiatives, as well as a multitude of accomplishments from each governing body. Tri-Council Fraternity and Sorority Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) The Greek AOD committee worked this year under the direction of Tri-Council Near Peer Fellows Alex Deyle 06 (Sigma Pi), David Bean 07 (Delta Phi), Raquel Corona 07 (Lambda Pi Chi), and Katie Seeley 07 (Kappa Delta). The committee decided to focus its efforts on creating safer Slope Day practices in the fraternity and sorority community. To implement this initiative, the Tri-Council leadership held a Slope Day Summit. Important partners such as the Cornell University Police Department, Gannett Health Services, and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs were involved in this initiative. The Slope Day Summit effectively communicated the expectations for participation in fraternity and sorority events during Slope Day. It was an excellent initiative to explore and safety at Slope Day and other events in the Greek community will continue to be explored through the AOD committee. Tri-Council Near Peer Fellows Alex Deyle 06 (Sigma Pi) and Brian Rosenberg 06 (Pi Kappa Alpha) served as the Tri-Council Near Peer Fellows for the year. Alex worked primarily with Event Management Education as well as the social event registration process. He was also involved in programs the community held throughout the year such as the Tri-Council Retreat and the Emerging Leaders Retreat. He regularly met with the three council presidents and developed tools to allow emerging Greek leaders to become involved within the community. Brian worked with the maintenance and development of the OFSA website. He also helped with programs such as Faculty Appreciation and Greek Freak. Brian, too, gave guidance and support to the council presidents. A.D. White Leadership Conference Co-Chaired by Sameer Mittal 07 (FIJI), Morgan Tucker 07 (Alpha Epsilon Phi), and Tarae Howell 07 (Iota Phi Theta), the tenth annual event was held at the Statler Hotel. Over 375 chapter officers, alumni, faculty members, and friends of the community attended. A resource fair was available to spread awareness about various campus and community resources and partnerships. The event featured a luncheon keynote by our own Robert G. Engel Associate Dean, Travis Apgar. He spoke to the audience about his vision for the Greek community at Cornell and challenged us to become a model community for the nation. During the luncheon, the John S. Dyson Citizenship Award was presented. Faculty Appreciation Reception This annual reception offers an opportunity for faculty members and administrators to engage in conversations with members of the Greek community in an on campus environment outside of the classroom. The reception also recognizes faculty members for their contributions to individual Greek students whom they have as students and to the larger Greek community through their service in positions as faculty fellows. Judith Ross- Bernstein, a senior lecture in Human Development, delivered the keynote address. The event planners were: Tri-Council Near Peer Fellow Brian Rosenberg 06 (Pi Kappa Alpha), Doris Cheung 07 (alpha Kappa Delta Phi), Ari Saunders 07 (Delta Gamma), and Dan Shamir 07 (Phi Kappa Tau).

White Leadership Conference. two Self-Governance, Leadership, and Educational Initiatives 4 Greek Week Greek Week was a memorable week full of events to facilitate friendly competition and interaction within the Greek community. Teams were created to create Greek unity. Each team consisted of five or six organizations representative of each Greek council. Events included Greek Olympics, a philanthropic carnival benefiting the Tompkins County Public Library, a blood drive, comedian, banner competition, basketball tournament, Cornell football game tailgate and give-a-ways, and a concert featuring campus bands and Cornell Dairy ice cream on North Campus. The steering committee leaders were Maria Jaramillo 07 (Omega Phi Beta), Lance Polivy 08 (Delta Upsilon), and Jamie Sackett 07 (Alpha Chi Omega). The yellow team won Greek Week this year. Grand Champions Alpha Kappa Alpha Alpha Phi Alpha Sigma Phi Delta Upsilon Tau Kappa Epsilon Delta Series In February, the Tri-Council brings over 800 of the Greek community s newest members together for a new member orientation known as the Delta Series. Travis Apgar, the Robert G. Engel Associate Dean of Students, gave a powerful keynote address on the topic of hazing. Participants then attended breakout sessions that included topics like: campus involvement, event management guidelines, and online social networks. The event was coordinated by Tarae Howell 07 (Iota Phi Theta), Sameer Mittal 07 (Phi Gamma Delta), and Morgan Tucker 07 (Alpha Epsilon Phi). Day of Demeter During the fall and spring semester, over five hundred Greek students participated in the Tri-Council campus service opportunity known as Day of Demeter. Students mulched, collected trash, planted flowers and shrubs to beautify an area of campus adjacent to South Avenue and Campus Drive. The work the Greek students did was a huge help to the Cornell Grounds Department. The event was organized by Jonathan Feldman 08 (Psi Upsilon), Rachel Goldfarb 07 (Sigma Delta Tau), Jose Gonzalez 08 (Lambda Upsilon Lambda), Maria Jaramillo 07 (Omega Phi Beta), Nicole Mangiere 08 (Alpha Phi), and Svante Myrick 08 (Sigma Alpha Epsilon). Northeast Greek Leadership Association (NGLA) The Tri-Council executive board members attend the NGLA conference every year. At this conference, students from fraternities and sororities on campuses across the Northeast meet to share ideas, attend educational programs and talk about current Greek issues. The Cornell Greek community was recognized with the following awards: Interfraternity Council Community Service and Philanthropy Council Management Leadership and Educational Membership Recruitment Multicultural Initiatives Public Relations Risk Management and Reduction Multicultural Greek Letter Council Community Service and Philanthropy Multicultural Initiatives Public Relations Risk Management and Reduction Panhellenic Association Academic Achievement Community Service and Philanthropy Council Management Continuous Open Bidding Leadership and Educational Membership Recruitment Multicultural Initiatives Public Relations Risk Management and Reduction

7 Interfraternity Council (IFC) IFC New Member Olympics In March, new member classes from IFC chapters participated in the annual New Member Olympics. Chapters competed against each other in Barton Hall. The games included threeon-three basketball, tug-of-war, and a relay race. Over 153 students participated. Ryan Lavin 08 (Delta Phi) coordinated the event. New Member Olympic Winners 1st Place Sigma Nu Event Management Education The Event Management Guidelines are the rules and regulations for social events with and without alcohol at Cornell University. These guidelines were created and ratified by the student leaders representing the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Letter Council, and the Panhellenic Association. To demonstrate the importance of adhering to these rules, chapter members must attend Event Management Guidelines training every semester. In the fall, Sameer Mittal 07 (Phi Gamma Delta) coordinated the Event Management Education. The IFC Executive Board members trained each fraternity in the Event Management Guidelines procedure. David Bean 07 (Delta Phi) also led the initiative to present the IFC Recruitment Resolution to each chapter during the Event Management trainings since the IFC Recruitment Resolution took effect in spring The IFC Recruitment Resolution aims to promote safety and fraternity-wide compliance with risk management policies during recruitment. Senior Golf Invitational Approximately 25 graduating seniors from IFC fraternities participated in this end-of-the-year inaugural event held at Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. Every IFC chapter was allowed to have two members participate in this pair s competition. The event was to thank the men for their participation in IFC throughout their time at Cornell. The winning team received red jackets. The IFC Executive Board created this event under the leadership of Jonathan Feldman 08 (Psi Upsilon), Lance Polivy 08 (Delta Upsilon), and Greg Schvey 09 (Sigma Phi Society). Senior Golf Invitational 1st Place Chi Phi 2nd Place Phi Kappa Psi Order of Omega 3rd Place Pi Kappa Alpha The Order of Omega continues to serve as an honorary organization for fraternity and sorority members who excel in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. During the year, the organization welcomed two new classes of members, who were eager to become involved. Order of Omega co-sponsored a reception to welcome new presidents to their positions as fraternity and sorority leaders. Order of Omega also sponsored awards at our annual Greek Awards ceremony to recognize Greek leaders for their contributions to both Order of Omega and the larger fraternity and sorority community. Panhellenic Association (PA) Tompkins County Public Library Initiatives The Panhellenic Association found two opportunities this year to support the Tompkins County Public Library. In the fall, the council organized their 2nd annual Tricky Tray or Treat silent auction. In the spring, Panhellenic s newest members organized a new member bowl-a-thon. Collectively, both events raised over $1,500 to assist the library in expanding its children s collection. Outstanding Greek Women Campaign As a way to promote the sorority community and recognize over thirteen amazing Greek women, the Panhellenic Council devised an Outstanding Greek Woman Campaign. After seeking nominations from each chapter, the Panhellenic council then selected women based on their outstanding contributions to Cornell and the Ithaca Community. These women were then featured on posters across campus in order to let potential new members know that Greek women are scholars, athletes, researchers, volunteers, and campus leaders. Multicultural Greek Letter Council (MGLC) Greek Freak Step Show The annual Greek Freak Step Show hosted by the Multicultural Greek Letter Council was held at the State Street Theater on April 14, More than 900 people witnessed the show. The proceeds from this year s show were used to award $250 book scholarships to college bound high school seniors.

Onyeador Willow Canyon High School, AZ New Position Created in MGLC Board The recent growth in membership, number of chapters and the increased participation in tri-council programming efforts has necessitated the creation and addition of a new executive board position for the MGLC. The executive board drafted a position description for a Vice President for Programming and was voted into the constitution at the beginning of the Fall 2007 semester. The position will begin during the new term in Spring two Self-Governance, Leadership, and Educational Initiatives 5

8 three Membership and Recruitment Summary Over the past year, the number of students registering for Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association formal recruitment on-line continued to increase. Council leaders continued a number of publicity efforts this past year including a Greek map that shows all chapter locations, founding year, and philanthropic community service. Interfraternity Council (IFC) The IFC distributed 559 bids during the spring recruitment week. In addition to the 53 fall new members and 17 spring Continuous Open Bids, this makes a total of 627 new members in the IFC. IFC VP Recruitment Ben Eschenheimer 08 continued its good relationship with the Residence Halls by training fraternity members to enter and contact interested students. The IFC Executive Board made strides to create a safer social environment by enforcing the IFC Recruitment Resolution, which passed in April With the recolonization of Sigma Phi Epsilon, the IFC had forty total member organizations during IFC Formal Recruitment Summary Registered Participants: 628 Number of Bids Signed: 555 % Pledged: 87.5% Panhellenic Association (PA) The Panhellenic Association saw an increase in women registering for Formal Membership Recruitment this academic year. More women were retained during the process yielding a higher percentage of women receiving bids at the end of the formal recruitment week. Chapters continued to work with the web-based recruitment system, and provided MGLC chapters an opportunity to meet with the potential new members as a part of the first round in order to provide them with a comprehensive view of the Greek community. The Panhellenic community remains strong at 12 chapters. Multicultural Greek Letter Council (MGLC) The Multicultural Greek Letter Council added 69 new members this year; with these additions only one of the 16 member organizations was under viability at the end of the spring semester. Asian Interest Recruitment Committee Formed The MGLC created a subcommittee to make policy recommendations regarding the rush period and process for Asian Interest organizations. Chaired by the MGLC V.P. Judicial, the Asian Interest Recruitment Committee (AIRC) is comprised of executive members from each Asian-Interest chapter. The committee drafted and recommended a more structured recruitment model that would standardize the AIRC rush period and establish a unified bid day for all four Asianinterest organizations. The working draft was implemented in the spring with much success and will be updated and revised for implementation in the fall. Recruitment Orientation Meeting This new initiative will serve to provide prospective new members interested in joining MGLC organizations to learn more about the recruitment process and policies of the MGLC, University and Greek system as a whole. All potential/prospective new members will be expected to attend the recruitment orientation meeting the semester prior to beginning the intake/rush process. Web Site Launched in Spring 2007 The website, provides visitors with a closer look into internal structure of the Multicultural Greek Letter Council and its member organizations. Linked to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs webpage, the MGLC site includes on-line access to the MGLC Constitution, Intake Policy, required forms and other policies and procedures geared toward maintaining a well-governed council. The site will also provide visitors with a more detailed look at the diverse characteristics of each fraternity and sorority within the MGLC. 6 PA Formal Recruitment Summary Registered Participants: 592 Number of Bids Signed: 457 % Pledged: 80.2% MGLC Recruitment Summary Fall New Members: 27 Spring New Members: 49 Total: 69

9 In 1998 the university commissioned the architectural and engineering firm of Einhorn, Yaffee, and Prescott (EYP) to undertake a comprehensive assessment of each of the fraternity and sorority houses on campus (total of 54 facilities). The study revealed the aggregate capital needed to address facility improvements was approximately $38 million with an additional estimated $12 million needed to complete suggested or desired improvements. Since 2000, many of our chapters have activated or completed capital funding campaigns ranging from $500,000 to $4,000,000. The other chapters have made steps to establish or have pending 501 C3 educational foundations and nine privately-owned organizations are receiving or have university approved gift recognition credit. University-Owned Chapter Facilities Of the 68 recognized chapters, 51 have a chapter house, 15 of which are owned by the university. The approximate asset value of the university owned chapter houses is nearly $80M. That s over 266,000 square feet times $300 per square foot. Annual revenues for cleared $3.3M. Housing income was over $2.4M. Gift income was just under $900,000. Investment income was nearly $38,000. Routine maintenance and capital expenses were over $900,000. Capital planning renovations continues with most organizations. Note that while the majority of the work was completed in the 2007 fiscal year (FY 07) some of the projects in the following updates did not close until FY 08. The 15 university owned chapter houses are now part of the Campus Life work order system. The system is web accessed and allows student leaders to request maintenance work any time of day or night, 7 days per week. The system is also a finely tuned database allowing maintenance managers to better track current work, history, and physical plant data. In response to kitchen safety and sanitation needs OFSA hired Christine Applegate. Christine has accomplished numerous training sessions and kitchen reviews. She is a Serv Safe trainer/certified instructor and has begun training cooks, chefs, students and kitchen help. There are ongoing discussions about making Serv Safe or other kitchen safety and sanitation training a requirement of recognition beginning the fall of University-Owned Properties Facility Update 14 South Ave. Previously used by Alpha Omicron Pi the 14 South Ave. building was occupied by Delta Chi fraternity during the academic year while their chapter house at The Knoll was under renovations. A new balcony was rebuilt on the north side of the 14 South Ave. building. Chi Phi Built in 1890 the Chi Phi chapter house is the oldest surviving chapter house on the Cornell campus. The exterior south wall is nearly inaccessible, as the building sits on the edge of Cascadilla gorge. The south wall and entire roof was repaired with a total cost over $900,000. The roof was covered with a 50 year architectural shingle and included copper gutters and downspouts giving the building a more original look. Delta Kappa Epsilon The DKE house was built in Design work for a new heating system and social space was completed in spring Delta Upsilon The 1890 s welcomed the Delta Upsilon lodge. In DU installed a new walk in cooler/freezer bringing much needed food storage improvements. Kappa Sigma The Kappa Sigma chapter house was one of the first built in the earliest part of the 20th century. Alumni have been working with the university to develop a capital plan that will take the chapter house through the next 100 years. Psi Upsilon The chapter acquired a new computer to aid in the storage of historical documents and in the annual transition of officers. The computer, along with new carpet, helped update a study area. Outside, the brotherhood focused their effort to the back yard by cleaning, mulching and building chairs and improving the horse shoe pits. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Alpha Epsilon replaced it s rooftop deck and updated the French doors leading to the deck with a more energy efficient set. A commercial grade grease trap was installed in the kitchen and new tile flooring was laid in the pantry. New carpet and fresh paint improved the appearance of most of the hallways. Preparations continue for the Hillcrest 2015 Initiative a planned whole-house renovation in time for its 100th anniversary. Sigma Alpha Mu This year new tile was installed in the basement, laundry room, and second floor showers. Other improvements include installing a new electronic lock on the front door and the purchase of two washing machines. Sigma Phi Sigma Phi was built in As part of a multi phase $4.8M capital improvement process, Sigma Phi completed a $1.1M heat and sprinkler renovation during the year. four Finances and Facilities Campaign Updates 7

10 Privately-Owned Chapter Facilities Financial Summary Sciarabba Walker & Co., LLP manages the financial accounting for approximately 40 of Cornell s privately-owned chapters. Sciarabba Walker & Co. provides guidance to the undergraduates and alumni on annual operating costs for numerous chapters and helps in the planning for capital needs and expenditures as well as establishing benchmarks for good operating practices. Privately-Owned Properties Facility Update The following summarizes the privately-owned facility enhancement projects completed during the academic year and capital renovations planned for the future. This list, although not comprehensive, includes information obtained from surveying alumni. Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha Omicron Pi completed extensive renovations to its new facility at 40 Ridgewood Road to prepare the house for occupancy beginning in the Fall of These renovations included gutting and replacing nine bathrooms, replacing or refinishing all wood and stone floors, repainting all common areas, installing a sprinkler system, landscaping the front and back yards and converting the house s former party rooms into a TV room and pool table room. Along with the extensive renovations, the chapter house was also completely decorated with new furniture and accessories in all of its common rooms and bedrooms. The chapter celebrated the success of these projects at its House Dedication Ceremony attended by over 100 guests. At this celebration the chapter officially launched the Epsilon Chapter Educational Foundation to allow the chapter to collect tax-deductible gifts. Fire Safety Systems Survey four Finances and Facilities Campaign Updates In September 2006 the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Facility Director, Martin Kelly, did a survey of the fire safety systems in all of the privately owned greek houses. Since they are private houses, and not owned by Cornell, it was based on a brief site visit, not a full building inspection. Answers given by occupants to questions such as Is there a sprinkler head in every bedroom? helped form the results. We maintain current data on the University owned greek houses so a survey was not needed to assemble that data. Cornell Owned Greek Houses Privately Owned Greek Houses Completely sprinklered 100% 44% Partially sprinklered 23% Not sprinklered 33% Modern type fire alarm system 100% 75% Older type fire system 12% Little or no fire system 12% 8

11 Alpha Phi Alpha Phi installed a new roof and overhauled one of the second floor bathrooms. Alpha Sigma Phi Rockledge continues to make steady progress towards launching a major capital campaign and renovation effort. An architectural/ engineering study completed by Ithaca firm, HOLT Architects, in November 2006 identified over $2 million in recommended work to our 100+ year-old facility at 804 Stewart Avenue. Rockledge is investigating the feasibility of undertaking this campaign. Additionally, annual gifts have doubled and this has enabled the chapter to completely pay off its mortgage, invest in a major fencing project, and complete many other projects. Finally, Rockledge is in the midst of creating The Rockledge Foundation, a 501(c)3 corporation to allow tax free donations in the future. Kappa Delta Kappa Delta is currently conducting a capital campaign for a new entrance and other projects identified by a recent feasibility study. Over the summer the bathrooms were renovated, a new surface was added to the back deck, and the chapter s website was enhanced for the academic year. Kappa Delta Rho The Beta Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho repaired and refinished the upstairs showers, replaced the living room carpet, tore down the old shed, and refinished the dining room floor. In addition, the Chapter and its Alumni Corporation Board have continued the 1-year old capital campaign to raise money for roof and stucco repair, a new front door, and eventual fire sprinkler head replacement. Kappa Kappa Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma completed renovations to all bathrooms. In addition, the dining room interiors were redone, a new stove was purchased for the chef, and the carpeting was replaced on the upper floors of the house. Additionally, the drainage system in the basement was redone. In the future, Kappa Kappa Gamma is planning to renovate the chapter room for use as a study space. four Movin on up Members of the Greek Movers and Shakers crew help a new first-year student move into north campus.

12 Outreach activities occurred during the past academic year in an ongoing effort to support alumni who work with Cornell s fraternities and sororities. The success of our Greek organizations is directly linked to the volunteer support and financial resources available from alumni, parents, and friends of the Greek community. Alumni Affairs and Development five Alumni Relations Activities Alumni Organizations Fraternity and Sorority Advisory Council The Fraternity and Sorority Advisory Council (FSAC) continues its role serving as advisors to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs on strategic matters and issues affecting the individual chapters that make up the Greek system. The council explores and defines ways in which the system can be strengthened to assure that undergraduates gain maximum experiential benefit from their individual fraternity and sorority experience. Over the past twelve years, the alumni, in cooperation with the administration and the faculty, have worked to assure that Cornell s Greek system remains strong in providing a residential learning experience unique among peer institutions. Examples of collaboration with Cornell University administration, faculty, student leaders, and council members are listed below: Residential Initiative Committee MGLC Anti-Hazing Subcommittee Greek Finance Subcommittee Interfraternity Council Recruitment Committee Creating Chapters of Excellence Think Tank Management Agreement Task Force Alumni Interfraternity Council The Alumni Interfraternity Council (AIFC) reviews and provides counsel to fraternities about practices related to technology, social policies, and alumni volunteer recruitment.

16 Dyson Undergraduate Scholarships Undergraduate, Alumni, and Faculty Recognition six 14 An opportunity for fraternities and sororities to recognize outstanding undergraduate leaders was created in part by University Trustee and Fraternity and Sorority Advisory Council member John Dyson 65. John, in conjunction with the University Scholarship Campaign, matched gifts toward the establishment of scholarships that relieve portions of recipients work requirements and provide significant grants. It was out of this generous offer that the program, informally known as the Dyson Scholarship Challenge, was created. Alumni raised a minimum of the necessary $37,500 to establish or enhance a scholarship endowment fund for the chapters listed below. More than $2.9 million was raised to establish 26 new scholarships for fraternity and sorority leaders Dyson Scholarship Recipients (alphabetical by chapter): Alpha Delta Phi Tradition Fellowship Anthony Biddle 07, HO Alpha Omicron Pi Carol Winter and Charles Mund Fraternity/Sorority Scholarship Kristy Schmicking 08, CAS Alpha Phi Cornell Tradition Fellowship Carmen Garzona 07, HO Alpha Tau Omega Ralph Henn 69 Scholarship Kyle Doctor 09, CALS Alpha Zeta A.

19 The judicial system that governs fraternities and sororities is two-fold. The primary process, the Greek Judicial Board is self-governed. Council officers partner with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to resolve cases of alleged chapter misconduct. The secondary process is facilitated by the University Review Board and is the administrative judicial process for the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. Cases involving allegations of individual misconduct are referred to the Office of the Judicial Administrator. Below is the four-year summary of the judicial complaints compiled by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. This summary includes complaints that were and/or are being processed through the fraternity and sorority judicial system. Type Social Property Discussion Hazing Physical Fighting Harassment Theft Sexual Assault Expectations for Membership Recruitment Violations Bias Reports Totals good to note Towing the Line There was a decrease in hazing violations this year. We did however, see a spike in violations of the Expectations for Membership, which means the self-governing system helps members hold each other accountable.
