WELCOME On behalf of the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Creighton Greek Community, I would like to welcome you to Formal Recruitment 2016! I am so excited to share with you one of my favorite parts of Creighton! During the last four years, Greek life has given me an opportunity to experience service and leadership, make wonderful memories, and meet phenomenal men who I am honored to call my brothers! Being a Creighton Greek member means much more than meets the eye. A Creighton Greek is a part of a community that exists to serve others, with countless opportunities for service and philanthropy that benefit both local and national organizations. Greeks at Creighton are truly dedicated to service. Being a Greek at Creighton means forming lifelong friendships. There are also countless opportunities for leadership and personal growth. Joining the Creighton Greek community means developing into a mature and respectful man, becoming part of a family, forming a bond of brotherhood that will last a lifetime. Recruitment is a wonderful introduction to the Creighton Greek community. I encourage you to go into the process with an open mind, ready to make new friends and discover which organization fits YOU, an organization in which you can be your true self and challenges you to be your best. If you have any questions throughout the process, feel free to talk with myself, Margaret Zimmer, or any of the IFC executive council. We are here for you as you discover what Creighton Greek Life is all about! Jake Dovgan Vice President of Recruitment Creighton Interfraternity Council
