FY 2010
Introduction
In fiscal year 2010, the Office of Student Activities
hit its stride in terms of programming and services
to campus. Collaborative and innovative programs
were increased. This report outlines the year’s activities and programs in detail.
Office Administration
Personnel
Director of Student Activities & Greek Life Mike Esposito, Student Activities Coordinator Terri Roberts
and Secretary Specialist Ami Courtney remained on
staff this fiscal year.
Two graduate assistants were hired in Fiscal Year
(FY) 2010. One was hired in August, Lisa Harris,
who had to resign in September due to unforeseen
changes in her family’s circumstances. In Spring
2010 Joe Hammond, a graduate student in psychology was hired and served through the end of April.
Student Employment
As a trial, the Office of Student Activities retained
three student employees in fall 2009, to see if the
same level of service could be guaranteed while at
the same time cutting costs. Rebecca Holland, a
student employee from last year, graduated in May
2009 and her position was not refilled. After a semester of this test, it was determined that no, the
office could not do without four student employees
and a fourth was hired, starting in spring 2010.
Brian Michal was selected to fill one of the four 12hour a week positions. Returning student employees were:
•
Jessi Scruggs
•
Tamera Bald
•
Zack James
Undergraduate Internships
In FY 2010, Student Activities worked with the
Department
of
Communication,
Media
and
Leadership studies to provide Kristen Yates, a senior
majoring in marketing, an internship. Kristen
worked with Mike Esposito and Dean Kevin Koett to
bring the Sigma Pi “Sam Spady” alcohol awareness
program to campus. In addition, she planned other
alcohol awareness programs March as part of a
class assignment.
A grant through the MSU
Foundation, from Pepsi, provided $2,000 to bring
the Sam Spady speaker in. Other interns included
Tamera Bald, a senior, and sophomore Leslie Pee,

who helped with weekend events. Both worked with
Terri Roberts.
Professional Development/Volunteerism
A number of professional development opportunities were undertaken by staff this year.
On November 4 & 5, Morehead State brought the
Disney Institute to campus. This day-and-a-half
long program gave area professionals an
opportunity to “Experience the Business Behind the
Magic.” The program was held at the Morehead
Conference Center and give participants new ideas
for creating a service-driven organization that
delivers excellence. "Disney's Approach to Quality
Service" program gave participants an insider’s look
at business practices that have helped Disney
consistently rank as one of the world’s most
admired companies and brands. Mike Esposito,
Terri Roberts and Ami Courtney attended.
Terri Roberts taught an MSU 101 class in fall 2010.
Additionally, she worked on the Morehead Tomorrow board of directors, in the community. In fall
2009, Terri presented at several conferences including: NACA mid-America Conference Oct 29- Nov 1,
2009 in Covington, KY on “Homecoming: Building A
Tradition Not Resting Upon One”; the University of
Cincinnati Student Leadership Conference, Feb. 27
2010, “Living My Life Like it is Golden: Leadership
and Integrity in NPHC organizations”; and the Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education,
April 18 to 20, 2010, Highland Heights, Kentucky,
“Engaging Students of Color in Campus Activities.”
Terri also presented her “Living My Life Like it is
Golden: Leadership and Integrity in NPHC organizations” presentation the College Personnel Association of Kentucky (CPAK) Conference, which was held
March 4 and 5 in Louisville.
Mike Esposito co-authored an article published in
the Association of College Unions International
(ACUI) Bulletin (Sept. 2009) with Dr. Robert Meyer of
Indiana University on “For Sale, the Sponsorship of
Student Activities Programs.” Mike presented an educational session on risk management at the College Personnel Association of Kentucky (CPAK) Conference, which was held March 4 and 5 in Louisville.
On campus, Mike participated in the Affirmative Action Standing Committee and on the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation
team, serving on the technology and distance learning subcommittee.
Office of Student Activities/Greek Life Annual Report
FY 2010
Goals
In support of the MSU ASPIRE goals, Student Activities devised goals and objectives for the academic
year. This year’s, and future year’s, goals and objectives will conform to the WEAVE (on-line assessment
and planning system) format, rather than the format
used in past annual reports. Many more, less formalized, initiatives were undertaken by OSA, but
these major objectives were officially ones filed with
MSU.
Goal 1: Provide Student-Centered Services and Advising
Objective #1 Non-Greek, African-American students will be assessed to determine their interest/awareness of NPHC organizations. An electronic survey of all African-American students will
be distributed by the Director of Student Activities
Greek Life by December 2009. A round-table held
with African-American students who meet minimum
GPA, but are not presently in an NPHC group will be
called by the Director of Student Activities Greek
Life by March 2009.
Assessment Results / Findings
The number of students who participated in both
the on-line survey and the roundtable were less than
what was hoped for, by about half for both. However, valuable data was gathered from these assessments. From the on-line survey, we learned that African American students were aware or very aware
of NPHC organizations in general prior to coming to
MSU, but were not as aware of which groups were
on campus. Once on campus, students showed a
greater awareness of MSU NPHC Greeks and gained
this knowledge primarily from informational meetings held by chapters. Freshman and sophomores
all said they knew some or many students who were
in NPHC organizations, however the reverse was
true for upper-class students, who mostly reported
knowing few or none. The single biggest reason for
these students not joining NPHC groups was financial, while time ranked second.
These data implies that marking strategies implemented by the Greek Life Office since 2008 have
increased awareness of NPHC groups to African
American students. Barriers to involvement--money
and time--are barriers MSU and individual NPHC
chapters cannot overcome either through programming or change in operational procedures.
From the roundtable, possible procedural changes
and changes in paradigm were discovered that
could promote involvement in NPHC groups. NPHC

organizations need to do more out-reach to nonminority groups in order to get them to attend their
events. Flyers, table tents, etc are insufficient to
generate attendance. As majority culture students
may incorrectly perceive anything sponsored by an
NPHC organization as being just for minority students, extra effort must be made by NPHC groups
to invite historically white Greek and other majority
culture students to their functions.
NPHC organizations must make a more concerted
effort to invite students to be members. None of
the students in the roundtable had a history of
Greek life in their families. They are open to the
idea of being Greek, but need to feel wanted. While
“recruitment” is an unpopular term among NPHC
organizations, some form of “pro-active inviting” to
potential members should be made. MSU must do a
better job of advertising the fact that all Greek
groups are open to students of all races and though
groups may have “historically” been comprised of
one race or another, that is not the case now.
With these data, the Office of Student Activities will
revise its training in the fall 2010 to help NPHC students reformulate their recruitment methods and
outreach to other groups. The OSA will also revise
recruitment publications to emphasize that NPHC
organizations are open to all students, not just African-Americans.
Evaluation of this Objective: Partially Met. Data was
excellent, but respondents were less than hoped.
See appendix 1 for supporting documentation.
Objective #2: Panhellenic Sorority women and
advisors will be assessed to determine their interest in adopting the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Release Figure Method (RFM) for
fall 2010 recruitment. Information on how RFM
will be provided in fall 2009 by the Greek Life Office
and the National Panhellenic Conference for education of the sororities and their advisors on the full
implications of the program. A total of 90 percent of
the Panhellenic Council and Advisors will be surveyed to determine their interest in the RFM.
In early January, in order to accommodate a NPC's
speaker's schedule, a series of informational meetings was held with all six sororities and their advisors, not in fall. The presentation by the National
Panhellenic representative was well received by advisors and Panhellenic women. Evaluations made in
an assessment meeting with all chapter advisors
(606) 783-2071

FY 2010
present or conference called in indicated 100 percent agreement that the RFM was the preferred
method to use for fall 2010 recruitment. Specific
scheduling and implementation plans remain to be
developed. The Panhellenic Council students also
voted unanimously to adopt the method.
Evaluation of this Objective: Met.
Goal 2: Produce quality and innovative leadership trainings and
opportunities
Objective #3 A Student Organization Advisor
training will be conducted in the fall 2009 semester. The Director of Student Activities Greek Life
will conduct trainings to provide student organization advisors basic training necessary to more effectively advise their groups. Of the participating advisors, a 75 percent evaluating the program as increasing their understanding of MSU’s policy and
they will indicate an increase in confidence in advising student groups on a survey to be given after the
training.
Student Organization advisors were provided a
training which outlined their roles as required by
MSU and provided the basics of student group development theory. The results of a pre and post test
show a marked increase in understanding of requirements and theory, based upon an assessment
instrument the advisors took prior to and after the
program. This data shows that the training is valuable and impactful, therefore we will offer it periodically throughout the forthcoming years, incorporating new information in it as needed.
Objective #4: A presentation to new members of
fraternities and sororities addressing topics such
as: hazing, the meaning of brotherhood and sisterhood and the role of IFC, Panhellenic Council
and the NPHC will be created. The Director of
Student Activities and Greek Life will work with the
Greek Alumni group to develop a presentation to
new members of fraternities and sororities addressing topics such as: hazing, the meaning of brotherhood and sisterhood and the role of IFC, Panhellenic
Council and the NPHC.
6
A program to instruct new members of fraternities
and sororities on brotherhood/sisterhood and policies related to Greeks was held October 1, 2009. In
devising the program, the need to duplicate efforts
by discussing hazing when a professional speaker
was coming to campus 13 days after this new member function did not seem a productive use of time.
Hence, the hazing segment of this training was removed. Of the 175 students, 100 were randomly
sampled for pre and post assessments.
Of the fraternity men, 88 percent arrived at the new
member academy indicating very true or true that
they understood the role of IFC, Panhellenic and
NPHC, and understood the values and goals of not
only their fraternity, but others. After the program,
that percentage stayed the same, but there was an
increase of 13 percent who indicated very true.
Of the sorority women, 79 percent arrived at the
new member academy indicating very true or true
that they understood the role of IFC, Panhellenic
and NPHC, and understood the values and goals of
not only their sorority, but others. After the program, that percentage increased by 10 percentage
points to 89 percent.
Given the fact that students receive, from their individual chapter trainings, a solid foundation in the
measured areas, the need for the Office of Student
Activities to conduct such a training is questionable. Therefore, this program, as it was implemented this year, will not be repeated. Other options for
training new members should be considered addressing areas not covered in chapter educational
programs.
Objective #5: A pre-service training for executives of SGA, Student Programming Board and the
Minority Leadership Caucus in the fall of 2009
will be created. The Student Activities Coordinator
will, in collaboration with Minority Retention Services, develop and implement executive pre-service
training for executives of SGA, SPB and MLC in the
fall of 2009.
The joint-training session was held August 10-13,
2009. Student Government Executives and Student
Programming Board Coordinators were all in attendance. Minority Leadership Caucus had 1 of its
leaders there (the president). Pre and post test

evaluations showed a significant increase in job

training. In addition, students showed a marked
increase in their understanding of what specific actions constituted hazing under MSU policy.
Goal 3: Broaden the programmatic offerings on campus into new
areas not presently offered
Objective #6 A nationally recognized speaker on
hazing issues will address Greeks and athletic
groups. The Director of Student Activities and
Greek Life will collaborate with Athletics and other
campus departments to bring a speaker on hazing
issues. An assessment will be given to participating
students assessing their understanding of hazing
and the likelihood of their reporting instances of
hazing they see.
On October 14, 2009, two training sessions were
provided to students, the first targeting student organizations/Greeks, the second targeted athletes.
The presentation was given by Mr. Rick Barnes, a
noted educator on hazing and other student organization related topics. In each session, a pre and
post assessment was given to the students. By
completing BOTH the pre and post test, students
earned a chance at one of four $50 gas cards, which
encouraged them to complete the assessments correctly. The pre and post tests were identical and
measured movement in established categories.
For student organizations/Greeks, the data showed
that 84 percent of students were either very likely
or somewhat likely to report hazing if they saw
it. After the training, the likelihood of reporting increased to 92 percent being likely or very likely,
with 71 percent of those being very likely. However,
students in this session showed little movement in
terms of what specific actions constituted hazing
under MSU policy. Granted, they showed, in the
pre-test, an sizable understanding of what actions
constituted hazing, but a more nuanced understanding of hazing particulars was not acquired
from this session.
For athletes, the data showed that 81 percent of
students were either very likely or somewhat likely
to report hazing if they saw it. After the training,
the likelihood of reporting increased to 89 percent
being likely or very likely, with 63 percent of those
being very likely. Students in this session already
arrived with a strong likelihood of reporting hazing
to campus officials and that was bolstered by the
With this information, the Office of Student Activities will create a program in forthcoming years to
provide more detailed trainings as to what particular actions constitute hazing. Willingness to report
such behavior is already present in students, now a
clearer understanding of what actions to report
must be given.
Objective #7: Student Activities will lead a pilot
program titled "My Black is Beautiful" for AfricanAmerican women. In collaboration with Minority
Retention Services and Multicultural Student Services, the Student Activities Coordinator will lead a
pilot program titled "My Black is Beautiful".
This
program will work with a select group of 10 AfricanAmerican female students during the summer as a
test run to see if the information presented is valued and useful to the group. The MRS, MSS and Activities Coordinator will develop the program with
the intent of increasing women's self esteem and
impacting positively perceptions of body image.
Should the pilot group assessment show value in
the program, a campus-wide version will be implemented over the course of FY 2010.
Of the responding women, all of them (100 percent)
found the pilot program useful. Based on this, the
Office of Student Activities will recommend that this
program be adopted by Multicultural Student Services as a program to enhance retention of African
American women in fall 2010. Support for the program in terms of facilitators and recruitment of
women to be in the program will come from OSA.
Minority Retention Services will be invited to participate as well.

Collaborative Programming
Collaborative programming, for the purposes of this
report, is defined as any event or activity that is not
originally generated by Student Activities or an area
in it (i.e. Greek Life, Student Activities Council), but
which our staff assisted directly in planning/producing.
New Student Days
New Student Days is a beginning of the academic
year (Aug. 14-16, 2009) function led by First Year
Programs. Student Activities and the Student Activities Council lent critical support to this function.
Freshman Move-In
On Friday, August 14, Freshmen students were allowed to move into the residence hall. As is the tradition, student organizations and athletic teams
volunteered to help with the move by registering
with the Office of Student Activities. Over 200 students volunteered.
The following organizations
participated:

Block Party
SPB held the annual Block Party on Friday, August
14, 2009 from 8-10 p.m. This year the event was
held on University Blvd in front of Allie Young Hall
stretching down to the top of Rader Hall. This was
moved from the previous year at Alumni Tower. The
time change was a half hour earlier than in previous
years which fit better with the Friday evening
schedule (Welcome Celebration scheduled at 7
p.m.). The location change made set-up much easier
for the student leaders and OSA staff members
based off of distance from “headquarters” (ADUC)
and not having to get heavy items across campus as
well as not having to find a time on move-in Friday
to get the pop since we were able to store it in
ADUC over night and simply roll it down the street.
The addition of tables from SPB, SGA and MLC with
various activities was a new addition this year. SPB
made craft magnets, SGA did face painting and MLC
gave away glow bracelets and candy. This year there
was also corn toss provided as an activity.
There were many positive comments about the
event with several students asking why this did not
happen more than once a year. The pop that was
given away was donated by Pepsi through MSU Concessions. The cost of the DJ was $200. The amount
spent on the items at the SPB, SGA and MLC tables
was $100. Approximately 700 people attended the
event making it cost 42 cents per person.
Student Activities Fair
As part of New Student Day’s, the OSA sponsored
the Activities Fair August 15 on the ADUC Commons. Twenty three student organizations and departments participated, up from last year’s 21. Over
175 students stopped by the booths to explore opportunities to be involved. There were no expenses
for this event. Participating groups included:

Ice Cream Social
SPB held the annual ice cream social on Sunday August 16, 2009 from 8-10 PM. The event took place
in ADUC commons. Several groups had tables set up
such as SPB, SGA and MLC. SPB’s table had information about the organization and gave away lanyards. The SGA table gave away free pens and provided information about the organization. MLC’s
table also had information about them and they
gave away candy. This year the fraternities set up
tables along the walkway in Field’s lawn. Fun Enterprise was also there doing photo key chains which
cost $750. The DJ cost was $180. There were approximately 800 people that attended the event
making it cost $1.16 per person.
Rock the Boat
At McClure Pool on Aug. 26, 10 p.m. till midnight,
Student Programming Board (SPB) sponsored a movie, Fan Boys. The 900+ attending students gain admittance to Rock the Boat and to win prizes at the
end of the night. 500 Free T-shirts were available on
a first come first serve basis and free food was
available throughout the night. This event is cosponsored by SPB, McClure Pool, MLC, Wellness
Center and Minority Retention Programs. SPB's financial investment included the $421 for the movie
rights, $32 for table tents and $600 for crafts and
games from Wal-Mart. McClure Pool financial investment included $2088 on 500 t-shirts, $1477 on
food, and $932 on prizes or for a total of $6.16 per
student.
Constitutional Day
On Thursday, September 17, the Office of Student
Activities collaborated with the Center for Regional
Engagement, SGA and many other departments to
produce events for the U.S. Constitution day. Student Activities held a “Constitutional Trivia” contest,
taking questions from the Immigration and Naturalization test given to those seeking citizenship in the
U.S. Approximately 75 students stopped by to participate in the trivia contest. Of those, 62 qualified

for a chance at the drawing. Prizes for the contest
were one of two $50 gas cards and an I-pod Touch.
Winners were:
•
Brian Michel
-
I pod
•
Zack Hahn

$50 gas card #1
•
Whitney Johnson
$50 gas card #2
The drawing for the event was held after the second
program that day, “Cookies and the Constitution”
which provided students snacks and a presentation
on the U.S. Constitution. Dr. William Green gave a
lecture to 15 participants titled “Oh! Marvelous
Parchment: The Constitution, the Supreme Court,
and Judicial Appointments,” which outlined the role
of the Judicial Branch in American life. The Center
for Regional Engagement funded these programs.
Family Weekend
This year was the 30th annual family weekend, Sept.
25-26, 2009. The theme was “A Red Carpet Affair.”
On Friday, Sept. 26, at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. the Family Fun Night was sponsored by Student Activities.
Nearly 75 people attended.
On Saturday morning, Sept. 26, activities began with
a 9 a.m. fashion show at the University Bookstore in
ADUC. A family mixer with doughnuts and coffee
began at that same time in ADUC. Approximately 75
people attended. The Family Association, met Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in ADUC.
On Saturday September 26th from 11:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m. was the Family Weekend tailgate. The
event was co-sponsored by MLC. SPB provided food
and novelties. The food was hamburgers and hot
dog from Aramark costing $3,172.50. The novelties from Fun Enterprise were air brushed bags and
magnetic photo frames were paid for by the Family
Association. There was also the MSU prize patrol
which walked around asking questions about MSU
and giving out prizes for correct answers. There
were approximately 200 people that attended and
the total cost was $3,172.50 making it $15.86 per
person.
This year the event had to be moved inside of the
AAC due to the weather and this could be the reason for the lower turn out. Also the air brushed
bags were very popular but due to the time it takes
to make a bag they were only able to make a little
over 60 bags so people who came around noon
were not able to get a bag. The prize patrol was a
success despite being in a smaller area and many of

the participants wanted the MSU reusable tote bags
and this item ran out quickly.
Homecoming 2009
On Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. the
Second Annual Morehead Idol, sponsored by the
Student Government Association, was held in Button
Auditorium. The theme was "A Red Carpet Affair".
Approximately 400 people attended. A take-off on
American Idol, SGA hosted Morehead Idol for all
families. Students interested in being a contestant
filled out an application and auditioned in the weeks
prior to the event. Of the top 8, the 3 judges selected the top 3 performers. These contestants performed a second act and then the audience by applause voted on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. 3rd place
received $100, 2nd place received $150, and 1st
place received $250. A donation to the Emergency
Student Loan Fund was requested as an admissions
fee. The judges were 2008 winner Will Gossin, Dr.
Scott McBride and Dr. Shondrah Nash. The 2009
winner was Holly Forbes. The cost to put on the
event: $800. This amount included prize money,
decorations, thank you cards for the judges and
promotions.
The theme of “Cartoon Mania” set the tone for this
year’s homecoming parade, which was held Thursday, October 15 at 6 p.m. in downtown Morehead
and approximately 1,000 people lined the street to
watch. The Alumni Association provided $1,500 for
prizes for the floats. In total, 41 entries were included. Space was provided to those who wanted to
build a float at the MSU Farm, free of charge. Staff
from across campus, including areas such as Student Activities, Student Life, Housing and Multicultural Student Services staffed the float-building.
Rick Barnes Anti-Hazing Presentation
On Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. and
8:00 p.m. in Button Auditorium, Student Activities
presented a seminar on Hazing, given by Rick
Barnes of Campus Speak. Barnes is a nationally
recognized leader on hazing and other issues related to student organizations. The 6:00 p.m. session
was given for student organizations in general and
the 8:00 p.m. session was tailored to Athletic
teams. The program was sponsored by: Student
Activities, Athletics, Student Housing, IFC and PHC.
IFC and PHC voted to make the event mandatory for
their members and nearly 500 students attended
the 6:00 p.m. session. The 8:00 p.m. session was
attended by approximately 350 athletes. Combined
attendance was 850 and the program cost $3,500,
meaning per person the event cost was $4.12.
To entice students to complete a pre and post survey, four $50 gas cards were raffled off. To be eligible to win, students had to complete both sides of
a two sided survey (front the “pre” test, the back the
“post” test). Two athlete and two student organization winners were drawn and the winners were:
*Cory Jones
*Jo Ashbrook
*Chris Hanson
*William Scaggs
See appendix 6 for assessment results.

King and Queen Restructure
In summer 2009, the Office of Student Activities
conducted research on how other institutions manage and implement their homecoming king and
queen process. Upon review, a series of changes
were adopted by the OSA to elevate the king/queen
from simply being a popularity contest to a true
merit-based honor. The changes were as follows:
Grade Requirement
The minimum cumulative grade point average was
raised from 2.25 to a 2.75. The credit hour requirement remained at 30 MSU earned credit hours.
Sponsoring Organizations
Candidates must be sponsored by a student organization who was registered and ended the 20082009 year in good standing. Each organization may
only sponsor one (1) king and one (1) queen candidate.
Entry Fee
An entry fee of $30 was imposed and had to accompany the application. These dollars were deposited into SGA’s general fund. This year, 46 total applicants were submitted, generating $1,380 for
SGA.
Campaigning
Campaigning was permitted with established guidelines, similar to Student Government executive
board elections. The objective of this change is to
generate excitement not just for the election, but
for Homecoming in general.
FY 2010
Reduction in Number of Court Members & Interview Process
Five king and five queen candidate positions were
made available, chosen by a committee from among
the organization nominations. The king and queen
were selected from the candidates by a vote of the
student body. The selection committee consisted
of: the Student Activities Coordinator, Dean of Students, a staff member of the department of Alumni
& Constituent Relations, a faculty representative and
a member of the Alumni Board to bring the total
number to five (5).
Through research it was discovered that many universities use a similar interview screening structure.
Some of these universities include: University of
Louisville, University of West Alabama, University of
Illinois, The Ohio State University and University of
South Florida.
During halftime of the game on October 24, the
Homecoming court was presented and Dr. Wayne
Andrews and Mrs. Andrews crowned the winners.
The election of the king/queen was held October 5
and 6, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in ADUC.
A total of 545 students voted, down from last year’s
637.

presented the plaque by Kyle Yarawsky, Student
Government president.
Open Houses
The Office of Admissions sponsors four open house
programs annually and Student Activities, SPB and
SGA participated in each of these; Oct. 3, Nov. 7,
Feb. 27 and March 27. Tables provided an array of
data on programs, in addition to give-aways such as
pens, cups, marker boards and incidental materials.

Life guides were distributed.
Fall of 55
On Tuesday, October 24, 2009, 6:00 pm in Rader
112, the Office of Student Activities and the Allyance student organization co-presented the movie
the Fall of 55 for lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender history month. The movie documented
the anti-gay vendetta that consumed Boise, Idaho in
1955, ending in the arrest of 16 men on charges of
homosexual conduct. The documentary was 86
minutes long and the film’s director, Seth Randal,
was on hand to answer questions afterwards. A total 34 people attended the showing, which cost
$1,100, or $32.35 each. Co-sponsorships came
from Multicultural Student Services, the President’s
Diversity Council and the Arts and Humanities
Council.
Eagle Ally
The Eagle Ally Program allows faculty and staff
members to serve as resources and advocates for all
students. Modeled after the Safe Zone concept, the
Eagle Ally program is intended to make student feel
comfortable discussing any topic with designated
faculty and staff. The difference between the two
models is that the Eagle Ally program has a broader
focus. Specifically, Eagle Allies are trained to
interact with students regarding affection/ sexual
orientation, disabilities, ethnicity/ culture, gender,
religion,
socio-economic/class
status.
Its
development was an effort by the Student Life
Office, President’s Diversity Council, Student
Activities and Student Housing. Sixty faculty and
staff from across campus attended six lectures over
the course of fall 2009 in order to achieve

Co-Curricular Extravaganza
On Wednesday, September 1st from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. at the Bell Tower and patio area, was the CoCurricular Extravaganza. This provided student organizations and departments an opportunity to
market themselves. A total of 28 organizations,
campus boards and departments participated, down
from 32 last year. Approximately 249 students vis12
Next year, more eye-catching signs will be created
to announce what the program is to passing students. A booth decorating contest was an incentive
to get more organizations involved and to decorate
an eye-catching booth for the students. Tony Johnson of Aramark, Cheryl Farmer of the Bookstore and
Evangeline Day of Disabilities Services were selected
as judges. Alpha Kappa Alpha won the $150 grand
prize and SIFE want the $50 second prize.
Student Leader Training
The Student Activities Coordinator Terri Roberts
coordinated a joint training week for executive officers of the Student Government Association, the
Student Programming Board and the Minority Leadership Caucus, August 10-14, 2009. One member
FY 2010
of MLC attended, joined with the full complement of
SGA and SPB. Far beyond a simple event planning
or general leadership exploration exercise, the four
day program was an intensive, all-day professionallevel training. Topics explored included: Real world
of work expectations, marketing events, planning
events, Goal setting, diversity training, website tools
and tips. Suicide prevention training and True Colors personality exploration exercise, among others.
Time for team building for each board individually,
as a group, and as a group with other MSU entities
(i.e. RA’s, President’s Cabinet) were provided. Pre
and post assessments of student’s comprehension
of materials presented showed strong movement.
This program will be refined and presented again
next year.
See appendix 5 for a summary of the assessment
and schedule.
Getting Organized Meeting
This was the second year of a requirement for student organizations to maintain registered status at
MSU—the requirement that they send one officer to
a “Getting Organized (GO) Meeting.” In the fall, a
total of seven sessions were offered, with two
makeup opportunities provided after the initial seven passed. The meetings were advertised in table
tents, on-line and a letter was sent to all the deans
and department heads, as well as each advisor directly, in late July, outlining this new requirement,
and the dates of the meetings.

Leading Edge
During the summer of 2009, OSA created a secondphase non-academic leadership program to provide
students more advanced training specific topics related to service and leadership. Modeled in part off
of the MSU Presidents Leadership Academy, the
program was piloted in 2009-10, with a goal of having it implemented fully in FY 2011. Fifteen students completed the program this year and future
groups will be limited to 20.
The program is open to
students
who
will
be
sophomores or juniors with a
minimum cumulative GPA of
2.75.
Students
from
the
regional campuses may also
participate in this program.
Workshops will only be held on
the main campus, so those that wish to participate
must be able to attend workshops on the main
campus.
Participants were required to participate in a series
of activities designed to enhance leadership skills as
well as to provide them with networking
opportunities with individuals throughout campus
and the state of Kentucky in their fields of interest.
They were paired with a mentor in their career field.
The program provides a wide array of possibilities
for enhancing participants resumes including
possible internship opportunities. The community
created
among
these
students
stimulates
intellectual growth and provides a support system
encouraging ambition and success. Participants
were required to complete 15 hours of community
service throughout the 2010-2011 year on their own
time. Participants will also meet with their mentor
on a schedule that they collaborate on. We
encourage activities with mentors such as job
shadowing, etc.
Fall semester requirements: initial information
session, three workshops and networking reception.
Spring semester requirements: three workshops,
attendance at Emerging Leaders Symposium (if not
already attended in past), program ending
ceremony.

This was the third year of the
Emerging
Leaders
Symposium
(ELS), a day-long leadership training seminar designed to provide
students
practical
skills,
knowledge of theoretical foundations of leadership, opportunities
to network and information on further leadership
opportunities. Two facilitators, Dwaun Warmack and
Shemika Harris of Rhodes College, conducted an
introductory exercise and then presented a seminar
on different leadership styles. The Career Center
presented for 20 minutes a “Dress for Success” seminar, demonstrating appropriate job interview and
business attire.
After a 30 minute dining etiquette session conducted by Mrs. Susan Andrews, a lunch with community
and MSU distinguished guests (i.e. city officials, vice
presidents, deans, etc.) and students was provided.
The keynote at lunch was given by Shannon Denniston, entrepreneur.
After lunch, students could
choose educational sessions to participate in, presented by MSU faculty and staff. Two ed session
blocks were scheduled, the first with four ed sessions, the second with three. Opportunities to visit
with departments/areas with leadership positions
(i.e. student government, First Year Programs and
Orientation, etc.) were provided between the educational sessions. This year, community agencies
were invited to participate in the involvement opportunity fair between ed sessions—two participated. Finally, certificates were given to participating
students and a group photo taken.

Greek Award Revisions Committee
In November, the Greek Life Office issued a general
invitation to chapters to help revise the annual
Greek awards. This ad hoc committee proposed the
creation of three new awards, to be distributed in
spring 2010 and beyond. They are:
•
•
•
New Member of the Year
Greek Collaboration Award
Campus Programming Award
In addition, the committee recommended to the
Greek Life Office the elimination of a rule which said
chapters could not win awards back to back. That
recommendation was accepted. Further, new eligibility for all chapter awards were created: Chapters
must have a 2.50+ cumulative GPA for the previous
semester, be free of any social probation (or have
.
.
made appropriate restitution as determined by the
Dean of Students), be in good financial standing
with IFC, PHC or NPHC, have attended (or been excused from) all events deemed mandatory by either
IFC, PHC or NPHC since the last Greek Awards program and be current in all paperwork required by
the Office of Student Activities at the time of application.
IFC/Panhellenic Officer Inauguration
In order to instill a sense of prestige and duty into
newly elected IFC and Panhellenic officers, the
Greek Life Office hosted an Inauguration program
Wed., Jan. 13, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in ADUC Room
312. Approximately 50 students attended as well as
four administrators. Time was provided for the incoming IFC and Panhellenic presidents to outline
their goals for the coming year. Refreshments were
served and the event cost $107.00, or an average of
$2.14 per attendee.
IFC/Panhellenic Officer Training
This year, IFC and Panhellenic’s officer trainings
were broken up into multiple meetings, rather than
five-hour marathon sessions held on a weekend.
This seemed to be easier for students. A one-hour
educational session on event planning was held
Thursday, January 28 and opened to not only IFC
and PHC, but student organizations and Greek
chapters. Approximately 21 students attended. A
goal-setting ed session planned for Thursday, January 21, had to be canceled due to weather.
IFC had a two-hour goal planning and constitutional
review session Friday, January 29 and PHC had a
similar one Friday, February 5. Each officer was
provided a new binder, inclusive of a calendar,
event planning data, policies, how to make an annual report, officer transition and where possible,
guidelines from the national councils (NIC or NPC).
This model of shorter training sessions held over
the course of January will be utilized again.
NPHC Officer Inauguration/Greek Awards
In order to provide the same level of honor that IFC
and Panhellenic officers received in January, a NPHC
officer inauguration was planned. As the NPHC officer rotations occur at the end of April, it was decided to combine the event with the annual Greek
Awards. The event was held April 15 at 6 p.m. in
Reed Auditorium. In addition to the new Greek
awards, IFC and Panhellenic created spirit awards to
give to students their respective executive council
members felt best represented the idea of Greek
Spirit. IFC named their award after SAE member

at these functions. Chapters were divided into

Student Programming Board
Restructure
Over the spring 2009, a new structure for the Student Activities Council (SAC) was devised by Terri
Roberts, in coordination with the Dean of Students
and the Director of Student Activities. Based upon
research at other institution, a new charter for a
programming council was put before the Student
Life Committee. Until that committee can meet to
ratify the changes, the Vice President for Student
Life directed the changes be implemented this fall.
Renaming
Since the proposed new structure was not that of a
“council”, the proposed new name became the Student Programming Board (SPB).
Removal of General Body Members
In the past, SAC had an executive board containing
three positions, President, Vice President and Public
Relations Coordinator as well as 25 voting members
positions and an undefined number of associate
member positions.
During the last two fiscal years, it became apparent
that the bulk of the work is done by the SAC executive members and their advisor. Removing the general body freed time for the executive board and the
advisor to be able to more effectively plan and execute programmatic endeavors without the maintenance trying to motivate a voting body.
Restructure of Executive Board
Rather than have a governing model for the executives, an approach creating coordinators of specific
programming areas was proposed. There would be
no single leader, rather all four of the new coordinators would work in conjunction with the advisor to
create programs. The new coordinator positions are
as follows:
Team 2: 58 points Co-WINNER
(606) 783-2071
19
FY 2010
Social Coordinator-This position would chair traditional SAC social events such as Dale K Hypnotist,
Rock the Boat, Sizzlin’ Night and SACapalooza. This
position would also focus on creating new and exciting social events that can encompass many programming genres.
“Edutainment” Coordinator-This position would be
responsible for chairing events that are both fun
and entertaining but that have an explicit learning
outcome. This position would attempt to work in
conjunction with offices and academic departments
across campus in the execution of a portion of the
events. Examples include: alcohol education, sexual
assault, study skills/test taking, resume building,
interview skills, etc.
Cultural Events Coordinator-This position would
chair programs in the arts and/or multicultural formats. This position would attempt to work in collaboration with various departments and offices
such as Multicultural Student Services and Minority
Retention. The creation of this position would also
aid in eliminating the false belief that diversity and
multicultural programming should only come out of
certain offices. Diversity is everyone’s responsibility.
Events may include but are not limited to: dance,
theater, diversity topics, Black History Month events,
Hispanic Heritage Month events, art and literature,
etc.
Special Events Coordinator-This position would
chair the annual Dance Marathon program. In addition this position would serve as an assistant to the
Student Activities Coordinator helping execute traditional SAC events including but not limited to:
Family Weekend Tailgate, Homecoming Student Party, Make a Difference Day Service Project, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, SPBBQ/President’s
Lawn Concert and New Student Days.
Related Costs
Within the new structure, there would be an addition of one executive position adding an institutional work study, $1,650.60. This cost would be offset
by the elimination of the annual need for t-shirts
and the elimination of the end of the year SAC banquet.
New Charter
A draft charter was created and forwarded to the
Student Life Committee for ratification.
That charter can be found in appendix 16.

was held in ADUC 301 at 7:30 p.m. and admission
was free. Sigma Gamma Rho did a presentation on
the effects of smoking and a quiz about smoking
and tobacco. The quiz was interactive which had the
audience engaged. The Student Government Association held a discussion of a possible smoking ban
on campus which led to an audience participation
discussion of the current smoking policy and the
smoking ban. There was an estimated 35 people at
the event.
Fall Free Movies
In previous years, SGA had an agreement with the
Checkers downtown University Cinema allowing
students to see movies for free on Friday night.
Checkers closed in summer of 2009. SGA determined to show movies on campus for free periodically through the fall. Attendance varied at these
events. Here are the roster of movies, and what was
shown.

community businesses and retailers to provide discounts to students when they present their student
identification. A total of 34 establishments participated this fiscal year. See appendix 18 for the complete list.
Challenge-for-Change
Morehead State University students were victorious
over Eastern Kentucky University in a month-long
student service hour competition in honor of Dr.
Martin Luther King, winning overwhelmingly with a
total of 1,244 volunteer service hours. Led by the
Student Government Association and MSU’s Center
for Regional Engagement, the student body raised
more than $1,000 for Haitian relief, made hygiene
kits for Haiti, gave 130 pints of blood, held a Text4-Shoes event for Samaritan's Feet, volunteered at
the Rowan County Recycling Center, Rowan County
Arts Center, Hospice and DOVES domestic violence
shelter. They also performed an “extreme
makeover” on the Gateway Homeless Coalition
Shelter and made garden boxes for the community.
A canned food drive and a clothing drive were held
at home basketball games and in the residence
halls.

Student Choice Awards/Inauguration
Student Government continued its new tradition,
started last year, of having a year-end student
choice award program where students decide winners in various categories. In conjunction with this
program, the inauguration of new executive officers

awards at the same time they elected SGA executive
officers. The categories were:
•
•
•
•

Informational Fall
NPHC sponsored an informational session designed
to provide students interested in NPHC groups an
opportunity to have questions answered and a
chance for them to meet with representatives from
(606) 783-2071

FY 2010
each group. In addition to the four chapters at MSU
currently, Alpha Phi Alpha was represented by Vincent Butler. The program was held in ADUC, Thursday, September 3, 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. There were 7
men and 16 women there.
General information was provided at the start of the
event, given by NPHC President Tiya Clayborn. Mike
Esposito, Director, provided information on hazing.
Advisors were introduced, as were chapter presidents. Men were kept as one group, sent to each
fraternity. Women were divided into three groups
and then a rotation pattern was started so all the
interested students would have an equal chance to
learn of each organization. Each chapter was provided a room in ADUC for this rotation. Women had
15 minutes, Men 20 minutes. After the rotation,
refreshments were served.
Homecoming Unity Step/Party
The 2009 Unity Step was held Saturday, October 24,
5:00 p.m. in Button Auditorium to a crowd of 400
people, way up from the 150 last year. SPB and
NPHC partnered to merge the step with the SPB welcome back party. Each chapter was allowed to present itself prior to the unity step. After, a stroll
presentation was given. In all, the event took 35
minutes. Practices were scheduled for every Tuesday and Thursday nights starting at 8:30 p.m., going to 9:30 or later, as the event got closer.
At the party that evening, 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., Button
Drill room, 170 people attended generating $523 in
profits. Attendees bringing a can of food with them
paid $2 at the door, all others paid $3.00.
Regional Conference
In conjunction with IFC and Panhellenic Councils,
NPHC attended the Mid-American Greek Conference
in St. Louis, February 11-14. Davonia Stuart and
Justin Neely were chosen as representatives.
NPHC’s attendance at this conference was sponsored by the University’s Diversity fund at an estimated cost of $950. NPHC provided some funds
($350) to pay for a third of Terri Roberts’ expenses,
who was the advisor on the trip.
Informational Spring
This year, NPHC hosted a spring informational,
which was held Monday, February 1, 6 to 8 p.m. A
total of 24 women attended, no men. This was the
first semester in five years that Iota Phi Theta was
allowed back on campus to do intake and they had
26
three representatives at the information, but as noted, no men attended. The program for the spring
did not vary in terms of schedule from the fall.
NPHC Week
NPHC hosted the first event of its week of programs
Monday, March 1 in Breckinridge Hall 002, 7:30 to
8:30 pm. The event was titled “Blame it On the Alcohol” and featured Dean Kevin Koett presenting
information on the effects of alcohol abuse on the
body and the legal/administrative issues that can
arise from intoxication. Students completed a quiz
and worked in small groups to problem solve a scenario provided. A total of 23 students participated
in this program and at the end, participants received free t-shirts.
During the remaining days of the week, each NPHC
chapter hosted events they produced individually.
These included: AKA planned to do a movie night
on March 2, but NCAA basketball was scheduled
then, so AKA agreed to sponsor a NPHC goes to the
NCAA night instead. Wed. March 3, Sigma Gamma
Rho conducted a leadership training with Lt. Ballard
from ROTC, 7:30 p.m. in Breckinridge Hall 002. Also, Wednesday was wear your letters day. Thursday, March 4, Kappa Alpha Psi hosted a philanthropy project for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 7:30 p.m.
in Breckinridge Hall 207. Finally, Friday, March 5,
Delta Sigma Theta a party in Button, 10 p.m. to 2
a.m.
Interfraternity Council
The IFC is the supervisory and
governing body of all men’s social fraternities. It establishes and
administers rules governing recruitment, new member education and initiation; regulate all
inter-fraternity social and recreational activities; promote scholarship among its members; and uphold the interests
of its members and the University.
Unlike SAC, SGA and NPHC, IFC holds elections in
November of each year; therefore, two councils exist in each given fiscal year. This report is broken
down into a fall IFC summary and a spring IFC
summary.

Recruitment
IFC held a two week recruitment period for fall
2009, lasting from Aug. 17 to 28 (bid day). IFC undertook several initiatives to assist chapters with
recruitment, including spending over $100 on recruitment how-to materials available through Phired
Up Productions, a national recruitment training program. All chapters had representatives at this training, held August 13. In addition, IFC spent over
$500 on a BBQ held outside Cooper Hall, which was
sparsely attended, August 17. A corn-toss night
was held on August 19 and a video game night held
August 25—only two chapters participated and 10
potential new members.
See appendix 20 for recruitment statistics.
Programming/Initiatives
Risk Management Training, Fall
On Thursday, Sept. 10, from 5 to 6 p.m. in the
Crager Room, the Greek Life Advisor presented the
first of what will be semesterly trainings on basic
Fraternal Insurance Purchasing Group (FIPG)--risk
management for parties with alcohol. The advisors
to IFC chapters agreed last spring to require this
training of their executive officers each semester.
A total of 50 students signed in. The breakdown in
attendance was as follows:

Handouts matching the presentation were distributed and included a list of non-alcoholic functions
chapters should consider prior to deciding to host
an alcoholic function, a summary page of the main
points of FIPG (MSU's policy is identical to several
parts of FIPG), definitions national organizations
have for what is considered a "chapter function",
comparative lists between MSU chapters on maximum number of guests allowable at an event, number of sober monitors required, maximum amount
of alcohol a person can bring to a Bring Your Own
.
.
Beverage party, and maximum length of time a party can be.
A "map" of how a facility should be set up was provided, detailing locations of the bar, food table and
trash cans. Further, sample job descriptions of each
sober monitor were included.
Chapter Presidents/Law Enforcement Meeting
The Dean of Students Office coordinated a meeting
between chapter presidents of IFC and Panhellenic
organizations and representatives from Campus
Safety, Kentucky State Police, City Police and the
County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, October 15, at
5:30 p.m. MSU Chief Matt Sparks led a panel discussion where students could ask officers specific
questions related to noise violations and other issues of interest. All chapters were represented and
attendance was specifically limited to chapter presidents or vice presidents so broader issues that
needed addressing did not get overlooked in a barrage of questions on minutia details, or past arrests/incidents.
Co-Sponsorships
IFC voted $500 to co-sponsor the Rick Barnes antihazing presentation on October 14.
Charity event at CiCi’s
The Interfraternity Council sponsored a charity
event for the Rock Solid Youth Center where chapter
members at one night at CiCi’s Pizza and part of the
proceeds went to the charity. IFC provided a 25
percent discount on fall chapter dues for the chapter with the largest percent of its men there. Tau
Kappa Epsilon won that with 90 percent of its men
in attendance. Approximately $250 was raised for
the charity.

In conjunction with NPHC and Panhellenic Councils,
IFC attended the Mid-American Greek Conference in
St. Louis, February 11-14. Glen Means and Chris
Darnell represented IFC. IFC paid $950 for these
students to attend and another $350 to pay for a
third of Terri Roberts’ expenses, who was the advisor on the trip.
Wrist-bands for Chapter Events
IFC again in the spring purchased wrist bands for
chapters to use during their BYOB parties. Approximately 1,000 were purchased in the spring and
chapters utilized the service at least 10 times total
in the spring semester.
28
Constitution and By-law changes
One of the most important initiatives undertaken
this spring was a comprehensive review of the IFC
constitution and by-laws.
Incidental wording
changes were made throughout the documents (i.e.
changing “rush” to “recruitment”).
IFC formally
amended the constitution to require two representatives attend IFC meetings, a practice started last
year, but not formally included in the rules. The
advisory board requirement to meet semesterly was
removed and the process for constitutional amendments was clarified.
In terms of by-laws, IFC increased the cumulative
GPA required to be a representative from 2.30 to
2.50. The semesterly per-person fee was increased
to $6 for chapters whose GPA was below the all
men’s average for the following semester—an effort
to promote scholarship among chapters. These
changes take effect in fall 2010.
Recruitment Rules Revision
IFC examined its fall formal recruitment rules this
year and revised the language of existing rules, clarified procedures and set more specific guidelines.
Recruitment was kept at two weeks length. In the
discussion, raising the entry GPA for new members
from 2.30 to 2.50 was considered by the executive
council. Further discussion will occur in the fall. It
was agreed that IFC would sponsor only events the
first day of school, providing chapters the largest
opportunity to conduct their own recruitment activities. It was stressed that potential new members
only have to sign blue grade check cards once, not
one for each fraternity. IFC pledged to keep a master list for chapters to utilize in the fall. To help
collect such blue cards, IFC voted up to $800 to
sponsor the new student day’s movie that New Student Services provides the Saturday before the first
day of school.
Incidental Programming
IFC required at least 10 percent of each chapter to
attend the Sigma Pi Sam Spady Alcohol education
program, held March 23. Over 70 people participated. Pi Kappa Phi presented a hazing seminar
April 19, requiring all new members who pledged in
the spring to attend. Attendance was over 50. IFC
voted to create a “spirit award” to give at the annual
awards program. They named it in honor of Drew
McKinney, a SAE member who was injured in a fall
this year. IFC organized an all-Greek team for Delta
Zeta’s Great Pretenders, spending $30 on the registration.
FY 2010
Panhellenic Council
PHC develops and maintains
relations by promoting fraternity life and inter-fraternity
relations. They work to further
refine
intellectual
accomplishments and sound scholarship; cooperate with member fraternities and the University administration in concern for and maintenance of
high social and moral standards; compile rules governing recruitment, new member educational periods and initiations and act in accordance with National Panhellenic Conference rules and policies.
PHC holds officer rotation and elections in November/December of each year; therefore, two councils
exist in each given fiscal year. This report is broken
down into a fall Panhellenic summary and a spring
Panhellenic summary.

This schedule was well timed over all and will be

Gamma Chi’s to bond. As a group, they chose
not to do an evening meal together. To provide a
since of solidarity between them, next year we
may plan a Saturday prior to recruitment fun activity together. Michelle Webb from Counseling
Services provided the Counseling skill session.
The ICS portion of the event took 45 minutes.
Budget: Breakfast was $70 (inclusive of day-of
drinks). Lunch (Pizza Hut) was $60. Copies were
$20. Name tag supplies were $75.
Advisor/Recruitment Chair ICS Training
In order to accommodate as many schedules as
possible, training on the Interactive Collegiate
Solutions (ICS) computer program was held on
two dates prior to formal recruitment: Thursday,
July 30 and Wednesday, August 5.

Tri-Sigma Opting Out of Formal Recruitment
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, which has struggled
over the last year with both low numbers and internal issues, opted out of formal recruitment for this
year only in order to focus on a more robust contin(606) 783-2071

uous open bidding process, without the distraction
that is formal recruitment.
The following is a excerpt from a letter composed
by the chapter explaining their decision: “Please
understand a few things - this was our choice, this
decision is a one-time only situation. Our chapter is
not in trouble, not on chapter suspension or supervision or at stake for losing our charter, nor were we
forced into this decision. We plan to use this first
round of recruitment to explain to the PNMs why we
are not participating in formal recruitment - not to
ask them to drop out of recruitment for us, but to
still consider us as an option. Tri-Sigma has worked
tirelessly over the last few months to better define
our sisterhood, uphold our values and address inappropriate behavior. We have realized that we
have not participated as much as we could have in
the past in things such as other organizations' philanthropy events. So expect to see more participation from the chapter in those areas as well.”
Throughout the spring, the Panhellenic Recruitment
Committee met and developed an excellent plan for
recruitment. With consistent advising, the plan was
implemented well. Four infractions were filed this
year. In addition, the number of women participating in recruitment was way up, as were bid acceptance. This year, PHC allowed chapters to send
up to 10 women each to the block party. This was
considered a fair balance and was well received by
each group. Chapters refrained from arriving to the
block party this year in fire trucks or other outlandish vehicles. The use of the on-line Interactive Collegiate Solutions (ICS) system to both register women for recruitment, as well as party placement and
bid matching was an incredible time saver. Bid
matching on Saturday took 30 minutes, when in the
past, it took hours.

This year, the incentive of recruitment rooms was
stricken following negative feedback from sorority
women. Instead, the process was far more voluntary. Members were required only to send a picture
to the Panhellenic President.
Last year, Panhellenic Council adopted a minor revision to its by-laws, taking effect this semester. The
revision changes the dues structure from its present
$25 + $5 a woman in the spring semester only to a
$4 per semester per active woman fee. This will
increase revenue for PHC and make revenue more
consistent all year long.

Appendix 1 NPHC Survey of Interest Data
Round Table Discussion with Non-Greek Students
Thursday, April 1, 2010
Led by Mike Esposito, Director, Student Activities and Greek Life
Five students, all female, participated in round table discussions examining interest in historically AfricanAmerican Greek organizations (NPHC groups) primarily, though other issues were discussed in the course of
the conversation. Three participants were African-American, two were white. Two of the students were
sophomores, three were freshmen. A free hamburger/hotdog bar with potato salad and fruit salad was provided as an incentive to attend.
The students expressed that they knew, generally, about NPHC groups prior to coming to MSU, though no
one in their families were Greek. They gained MSU specific knowledge about NPHC groups not from the Web
or publications, but from daily interactions with NPHC and IFC/Panhellenic (historically white) Greeks at
events. None of the students said they perceived that any rivalries existed between NPHC organizations.
All the participants said they attended functions held by NPHC organizations, but they believed IFC and Panhellenic events were better advertised and more people attended them. Specifically, two students said NPHC
groups needed to do a better job advertising that their events in general and that they need to indicate their
activities were open to all students. All of the students said they had considered joining, or would be open
to joining an NPHC group.
The participating students said the best way for them to learn about events were either tables in ADUC or
flyers handed to them on campus. Facebook event listings/invitations and table tents in the cafeteria were
ranked second in terms of getting them information. Email was not a good way to get information. Flyers
posted on campus were incidentally looked at. No one mentioned the campus newspaper or a standard media outlet as a source of information.
Attitudes toward NPHC organizations were generally positive, and these women described them a “cool”.
However, they did say that one group in particular appeared “stuck up” in day-to-day interactions and the
only time they were “nice” was at informational sessions. Otherwise, this specific sorority was cited as being
“rude” most of the time. Views regarding Panhellenic sororities varied, some perceived them as “accepting”
others viewed them as “stuck up.” All of the students had considered joining a Panhellenic organization.
The women made a point to say that the historically-black fraternities needed to do a better job at “recruiting” members.
Two of the women noted that NPHC groups did not seem to participate in big campus events like Chi Omega
Follies and Delta Zeta’s Great Pretenders (students brought up these examples specifically). “I asked the
Kappas [Kappa Alpha Psi] why they didn’t have a team on that [Chi Omega Follies] and they said they didn’t
know about it.”
The students were asked what “barriers” existed toward them participating in NPHC organizations. Grades
were acknowledged to be a stumbling block for all of them, however finances were not an issue with the exception of one of the participants. All of them said it was very important to them to be invited to join a
group. “If you don’t ask me to join, I assume you don’t want me. I’m not going to go to you. Be interested
in me,” one said. Another noted that she had been asked to join a “white” group and had considered it.
The discussion moved toward participation of white women in NPHC organizations when it was asked if
there were any white “girls” in these groups. Recently, one NPHC chapter at MSU did induct a white student
into their organization. The students at the round table agreed that more needed to be done to educate
white students that they could join NPHC groups—that they “weren’t just for blacks.”
(606) 783-2071

FY 2010
Toward the end, students were asked about MSU in general and they voiced positive and negative thoughts
in relation to Financial Aid and Food Service. Those comments will be summarized in a separate report and
sent to the appropriate supervisors.
Conclusion
Several important points can be drawn from these discussions and they are:
• NPHC organizations need to do more out-reach to non-minority groups in order to get them to attend their events. Flyers, table tents, etc are insufficient to generate attendance. As majority culture
students may incorrectly perceive anything sponsored by an NPHC organization as being just for minority students, extra effort must be made by NPHC groups to invite historically white Greek and
other majority culture students to their functions.
•
By the same token as the bulleted item above, historically white Greeks need to make an extra effort
to go to NPHC organizations, inviting them to events.
•
NPHC organizations must make a more concerted effort to invite students to be members. None of
the students in the roundtable had a history of Greek life in their families. They are open to the idea
of being Greek, but need to feel wanted. While “recruitment” is an unpopular term among NPHC organizations, some form of “pro-active inviting” to potential members should be made.
MSU must do a better job of advertising the fact that all Greek groups are open to students of all races and
though groups may have “historically” been comprised of one race or another, that is not the case now.
On-line Survey of African American non-Greek Students
This on-line survey was conducted in late November to early December 2009. Students were broken down in
to groups according to class and GPA range.

Appendix 2, Release Figure Method Advisor Evaluation Meeting
Advisor Release Figure Method (RFM) assessment meeting, Sunday, January 24, 2010, 3:00 p.m.
Attendees:
Mike Esposito
Ramona Gardner, Chi Omega
Jenny Frasier, Kappa Delta
Vivian Cyrus, Delta Zeta
Nicole Bersaglia, Gamma Phi Beta
Shelly Jones, Delta Gamma (via phone)
Heather Apple, Sigma Sigma Sigma (via phone)
Tiffany Chewing, Kappa Delta (via phone)
Mike Esposito asked the advisors their impression of Dr. Darcy Russell, who presented detailed information
on the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Release Figure Method, January 17 and 18.
• All advisors reported positive impressions of Dr. Russell.
•
She “knew her stuff” according to Ramona Gardner. Prior to the meetings with Dr. Russell,
Chi Omega national officers spoke highly of Dr. Russell, citing her has one of the top experts
on this issue.
Esposito then asked the advisors of their impression of the RFM.
• Generally, all advisors felt the method would be beneficial to MSU’s sororities.
•
Nicole Bersaglia said a great deal of education would be necessary to assuage fears the chapter
women may have over the new method and to ensure that the new rules were understood.
•
Vivian Cyrus and Ramona Gardner said the Gamma Chi’s would need extensive training in order to
be able to answer potential new member’s questions.
•
Mike Esposito brought up Dr. Russell’s recommendation to expand the number of Gamma Chi’s from
12, to possibly 18 and have smaller groups of PNM’s to work with. That was generally agreed to.
However, the idea that 18 Gamma Chi’s be selected regardless of which chapter they were in, was
opposed by one advisor, though the others felt it was worth considering.
Other issues:
• The Round Robin format was discussed again. How should that program look? No solutions were
found, but opinions were voiced.
•
All advisors felt it vital that the Greek Life Office have access to Datatel grade listings, as with the
RFM cutting women from chapter consideration happens early in the process and grades are an easy
way to eliminate women from consideration. Mike said he would ask again for that access.
•
The process from here on out was provided
o
Once the undergraduate Panhellenic Council selected a Recruitment Vice President, meeting
times for the recruitment committee would commence
o
The Panhellenic Council would vote on whether or not to adopt the RFM method in general
and leave the details to the recruitment committee.
o
Once the recruitment committee developed a program, PHC would vote to ratify that program.
Meeting adjourned at 4:15 pm.

Appendix 7, My Black is Beautiful Pilot Program
Six of 10 participating students completed the survey
1. Did you enjoy the My Black is Beautiful event Yes 6 No 0 2. Would you attend a program like this were it to be held during the academic year Yes 6 No 0 3. Which semester do you think this program would best work in? Spring 4 Summer 2 Fall 2 4. Did you gain insight into yourself through the discussions at this event Yes 6 No 0 5. Mark true for the statements below you agree with a. I think MBIB is a helpful way to address self esteem 4 b. I think MBIB fosters a spirit of sisterhood 6 c. I think MBIB would be successful if expanded 6 6 d. I would encourage other students to attend MBIB e. My self-‐esteem/self image was improved due to this session 2 6. Further Comments: -The fact that I shared a lot of problems other girls my age do about ourselves and was able to talk
about that freely with everyone at the meeting.
-Hearing what everyone liked and disliked about themselves was helpful.
- I loved being involved in something with women I didn’t typically socialize with, I enjoyed intellectual discussion with other women, I enjoyed being able to debate issues that impact my community
and people of my race.
7. List any ideas you have to improve this program
- I believe that this program could be launched and really reach women. I think an improvement
would be to involve faculty and staff women whom could offer some additional insight. I also believe
that allowing men to join the discussion at least some of the time would be nice as well. I also think
that if it was led by a facilitator that would be nice too.
-None
-More participants.

Appendix 11, Cultural Awareness Series
September, Latino Heritage Month
Cesar Chavez
Cesar Chavez was a Mexican American labor activist and a leading voice for migrant farm workers. Cesar
began his activism when he served as the national director of the Community Service Organization. In 1962,
after failing to convince the CSO to commit itself to farm worker organizing, he resigned. Cesar led a successful five year strike-boycott that rallied millions of supporters to the United Farm Workers. He forged a
national support coalition of unions, church groups, students, minorities and consumers. UFW adhered to
the principals of non-violence practiced by M.K. Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. By the early 1980's
farm workers in the tens of thousands were working under UFW contracts, enjoying higher pay, family health
coverage, pension benefits and other contract protections. Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993.

Roberto Clemente
Proud of his Puerto Rican roots, Roberto Clemente drew attention to the excellence of Latin American players
in Major League baseball during the 1960s and early 1970s. No other Latin American has ever achieved the
numbers and recognition like Clemente did. But even though with his stellar, consistent play, Clemente
thought the fame achieved was all too slow in coming as it always seemed for players of Hispanic background. A player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he was the first Puerto Rican to be voted Most Valuable Player.
He starred in two World Series triumphs and dominated all pitchers in the 1971 Series with a.414 batting
average. A great fielder and hitter, Clemente was loved by many because of his deep concern for people and

David Farragut
As an admiral in the Union Navy, David Farragut was the most famous Hispanic officer in the Civil War. He
was the son of Jorge and Elizabeth Farragut. Jorge, a Minorcan immigrant during the American Revolution,
was a merchant captain as well as a cavalry officer in the Tennessee militia. David joined the Navy when he
was only 10 years old— the youngest person ever to enlist. With only two ships, Farragut began patrolling
the Mississippi between Port Hudson and Vicksburg, preventing valuable supplies from reaching Confederate forces. On July 4, 1863, Grant successfully concluded his siege of Vicksburg, while Port Hudson fell on
July 9. Farragut is known for a famous remark during the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. When the ship in
front of his struck an explosive mine and sank, Farragut urged on his crew, shouting, "Damn the torpedoes!
Go ahead. Four bells [full speed]!" Farragut was the first person to earn the rank of admiral in the United
States Navy. Sources http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hispanic/history.htm

Antonia C. Novello
In 1990, Antonia Novello became the first Hispanic person —and first woman as well — to be appointed as
Surgeon General, the chief doctor in the United States. As a child, she had a chronic illness that hurt her digestion, causing her great suffering. She never forgot that experience. As surgeon general, Novello especially campaigned for better care for children. Although she never shrank from controversy, Dr. Novello was an
unusually popular Surgeon General, winning special praise for her campaigns to address the health problems of America's young people, whom she called "a generation at risk." Since 2008, Novello has been Vice
President for Women's and Children's Health and Policy Affairs at Disney Children's Hospital, in Orlando. This
innovative facility provides a uniquely welcoming atmosphere for ailing children, while Dr. Novello's department concentrates on illness prevention and the promotion of family health.

Barbara Gittings
One of the nation's earliest and longest serving gay rights activists, Gittings was instrumental in the early
fight for lesbian rights, founding the New York City chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis in 1958. Ms. Gittings
was among a handful of people who participated in the first public gay rights demonstrations, picketing the
White House, the Civil Service Commission, and the Pentagon in the 1960s. Gittings worked for nearly a
decade to overturn the American Psychiatric Association's classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder, which was accomplished in 1972. Gittings was honored in October 2006 with the first Fyrer Award
from the APA for her leadership in the relation between psychiatry and homosexuality. Gittings help found
the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (1973) and the Gay Rights National Lobby (1976), a precursor to
the Human Rights Campaign. She died in 2007 from cancer.

Harry Hay
Harry Hay was the founder of the gay rights movement in America. In 1950 Hay formed the Mattachine Society and said that homosexuals made up a cultural minority with its own history, political concerns, and organizational strengths. In 1969, after the Stonewall riots in NY, the movement he had envisioned in 1950
came to fruition. He was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness
as a form of spiritual calling. His theory of "gay consciousness" placed variant thinking as the most significant trait in homosexuals. "We differ most from heterosexuals in how we perceive the world. That ability to
offer insights and solutions is our contribution to humanity, and why our people keep reappearing over the
millennia." Hay worked in Women's Strike for Peace during the Vietnam War and with the Committee for
Traditional Indian Land and Life, among many other rights groups over the years. He died in 2002 at the
age of 90. Sources: http://www.harryhay.com/

Dr. Frank Kameny
A veteran of WWII, Dr. Frank Kameny was one of the first activists in the modern gay rights movement. He
led a legal fight for gay rights in civil service employment all the way to the US Supreme Court in 1961 and
afterward helped expand a national gay right group. Kameny embraced direct action and sought contact
with public officials rather than hiding from them. Kameny believed that gay people should fight a "down-toearth, grass-roots, sometimes tooth-and-nail battle" against discrimination. He was the first out gay man to
run for Congress in 1971. He and Barbara Gittings prompted the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973. In 1975, he was appointed a Commissioner
of the D.C. Commission on Human Rights, becoming the first openly gay municipal appointee. He also personally drafted the bill that repealed D.C.'s sodomy law, which was enacted in 1993. He lives in Washington

Bayard Rustin
A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963
March on Washington. He brought Gandhi’s protest techniques to the American civil rights movement. Despite these achievements, Rustin was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man. Rustin became Martin Luther
King’s main adviser and together they formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The new or56

ganization was committed to using nonviolence. In his final years, Rustin was active in the protests against
the Vietnam War and in the gay rights movement. In 1986 he said, "The barometer of where one is on human rights questions is no longer the black community, it's the gay community. Because it is the community
which is most easily mistreated." He died in New York on August 24, 1987.

November, Native American History Month
Sherman Alexie
Sherman Alexie, a Spokane/ Coeur d'Alene Indian, was born in October 1966, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, Washington. He is an award-winning author and occasional comedian. Much of his writing draws on his experiences as a modern Native American. Sherman's best known works include The Lone
Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Smoke Signals, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
Social commentary, achieved through his novels, films and public appearances, is what Alexie offers. "Political correctness" is not in his vocabulary, as he takes equal aim at rednecks, liberals, conservatives, and perhaps most shockingly, at American Indians. Alexie is the recipient of numerous awards including the 1999
O. Henry Award, the 2000 inaugural PEN/Amazon.com Short Story Award, and the Poetry Society of America's 2001 Shelley Memorial Award. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

Charlene Teeters
Teeter has been referred to as the "Rosa Parks" of the American Indians. She campaigned against her alma
mater, the University of Illinois, for using a Native American-looking effigy - Chief Illiniwek - dressed in
feathers and war paint, as their school mascot. Chief Illiniwek would dance to a drumbeat at local football
games, humiliating and offending Teeters and others. She began protesting against the Indian mascot at the
University of Illinois, then created an 1994 exhibit called "It Was Only an Indian: Native American Stereotypes" which identified Native American racism and stereotypes in the media and corporation advertising.
She eventually became the subject of the highly acclaimed documentary, "In Whose Honor" of which Brenda
Farnell, Professor of Anthropology from the University of Illinois said, "It is an important piece of work, perfect for waking students up to contemporary issues facing Native peoples today."

Byllye Y. Avery
Byllye Y. Avery is the founder of the Black Women’s Health Imperative. In 1981, Byllye Avery set out to improve the health of African American women by sharing knowledge about how to stay well. She discovered
that health problems plaguing Black women could be traced, not to lack of information, but to living in a
racist, classist, homophobic society. She is a recipient of the “genius grant,” formally known as the MacArthur Fellowship, in recognition of her decades of extraordinary health care activism. She has a keen interest
in reproductive health having co-founded a women's health center and a free standing birthing center in
Gainesville, Florida. As executive director of what is now the National Black Women's Health Imperative
(NBWHI), Avery grew this grassroots organization into an international network with impact in Brazil, Nairobi,
South Africa and Camaroon, where women have mobilized to assure better health for themselves and one
another. Sources: http://www.strengthforcaring.com/author/byllye-y-avery/

Paul Laurence Dunbar
Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the first African-American poets to gain national recognition. He was born
in Dayton, Ohio to Joshua and Matilda Murphy Dunbar, freed slaves from Kentucky. He befriended Frederick
Douglass, who said Dunbar was "the most promising young colored man in America." Much of the controversy surrounding Dunbar concerns his dialect poetry. Sterling A. Brown asserted that Dunbar was the first
American poet to "handle Negro folk life with any degree of fullness" but he also found Dunbar guilty of cruelly "misreading" black history. While Dunbar sought an appropriate literary form for African American vernacular expression, he was also ambivalent about his undertaking in this area. A considered reading of poems like "We Wear the Mask," "When Malindy Sings," "Frederick Douglass," "The Colored Soldiers," or "The
Haunted Oak" affirms Dunbar's loyalty to the black race and his pride in its achievements, as well as his
righteous anger over racial injustice. He died in 1906, at the age of thirty-three.

Dr. Carter Woodson
The celebration of Black History Month and the study of black history is credited to Dr. Carter G. Woodson,
“father of Black History”. Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working in the
coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He earned his Bachelor of Literature degree from Berea College in Kentucky and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. Woodson was disturbed to find in
his studies that history books largely ignored the black American population. Woodson decided to take on
the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the
Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History)
in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. Woodson wrote extensive
and scholarly works such as The History of the Negro Church (1922), Mis-Education of the Negro (1933), and
many other books and articles as relevant today as they were when first published. He died April 3, 1950.

Wilma Mankiller
Wilma Mankiller, former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, lives on the land which was
allotted to her paternal grandfather, John Mankiller. Her family name "Mankiller" is an old military title that
was given to the person in charge of protecting the village. As the leader of the Cherokee people, she represented the second largest tribe in the United States. In the historic tribal elections of 1987, Mankiller won
the post out-right and brought unprecedented attention to the tribe as a result. Mankiller has brought about
important strides for the Cherokees, including improved health care, education, utilities management and
tribal government. Future plans call for attracting higher-paying industry to the area, improving adult literacy, supporting women returning to school and more. She declined another term as Chief in 1995. Mankiller
was inducted into the Women's Hall of Fame in New York City in 1994 and was given a Presidential Medal of
Freedom by then-President Bill Clinton in 1998.

Hattie McDaniel
Hattie McDaniel's portrayal of the "Mammy" figure in the film Gone with the Wind, for which she received an
Academy Award for best supporting actress in 1940, is still widely seen as a role that could only have been
played by her. She was the first African American to receive an Oscar. In 1934, McDaniel was cast in the
Fox production of Judge Priest. In this picture, she was given the opportunity to sing a duet with Will Rogers.
Throughout the 1940s a growing number of activists viewed McDaniel and all she represented as damaging
to the budding fight for civil rights. NAACP President Walter White pressed both actors and studios to stop
making films that tended to ridicule black people, and he singled out the roles of Hattie McDaniel as particularly offensive. McDaniel defended her right to choose whichever roles she saw fit, adding that many of her
screen roles had shown themselves to be more than equal to that of their white employers. McDaniel died in
Hollywood, California, on October 26, 1952.

Jeanette Rankin
A member of the Republican Party, in 1916, Rankin decided to run for Congress from Montana. Rankin, who
campaigned for universal suffrage, prohibition, child welfare reform, an end to child labor and staying out of
the First World War, became the first woman elected to the House of Representatives. A pacifist, Rankin was
one of the 49 members of Congress to vote against war with Germany. After the war, Rankin successfully
campaigned for women’s independent citizenship (1922), the Maternity and Infancy Protection Act (1921),
Independent Citizenship (1922) and Child Labor Amendment (1924). In 1940, Rankin was elected to the
House of Representatives on an anti-war platform. She was the only member of Congress to vote against the
declaration of war on Japan in December 1941. Rankin was convinced that FDR had deliberately provoked
the Japanese attack. Once again her pacifism made her extremely unpopular with the electorate and she decided not to stand for re-election. Rankin was active in the campaign against the Vietnam War. She died on
May 18, 1973.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the first leaders of the American woman's rights movement. In 1848 Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls. Stanton's resolution that it
was "the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves the sacred right to the elective franchise" was passed, and this became the focus of the group's campaign over the next few years. An excellent
writer and speaker, she and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 and
worked together to secure women's right to vote. While she is best known for her long contribution to the
woman suffrage struggle, she was also active and effective in winning property rights for married women,
equal guardianship of children and liberalized divorce laws. These reforms made it possible for women to
leave marriages that were abusive of the wife, the children, and the economic health of the family. She died
in New York on October 26, 1902, with nearly 20 years to go before the United States granted women the
right to vote.

Dr. David Ho has been a leader in the field of HIV/AIDS research for over a decade. The impact of his work
on the viral dynamics of HIV changed the way HIV/AIDS is investigated and treated earned him Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" award in 1996. In the early days of research, it was assumed that the HIV virus remained dormant for ten years before the outbreak of AIDS. Dr. Ho's work revealed that HIV is highly active
from the moment of infection, replicating and mutating continuously. This discovery led to the replacement
of single drug therapies with protease inhibitor and antiviral "cocktails." At age 37, David Ho was appointed
Director of the new Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City. Dr. Ho currently serves as the
scientific director and chief executive officer of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, the largest private
HIV/AIDS research center in the world.

Incorporated, a leading American manufacturer of computers and word processing systems. In the spring of
1948, Wang worked at the Harvard Computation Laboratory. While there, Wang developed a way to store
and retrieve data in a computer using magnetic devices. Wang studied the magnetic properties of small
doughnut-shaped rings of ferromagnetic material, or materials that can become highly magnetized. Dr.
Wang was also a noteworthy philanthropist, whose efforts and funds continue to foster the arts and sciences. At his death in 1990, Wang had left behind a substantial cultural and technological legacy.

I work closely with my daughter's local girl scout troupe and I have begun a tutoring service to teenage and college students in math.
only because I left the country. my life/experience is not that of a typical eastern KY student anymore. but the symposium was great. I loved the keynote speaker and I left with valuable information.
Took an office on Gamma Phi Beta's executive council.
I am more active in my sorority since attending the Emerging Leaders Symposium. I have also completed countless more community service hours and been more active in my class participation.
I have became more active with housing, but focused more on grades. I have been trying to help out
the community more around Morehead. I hope to start a food drive for Doves.
Phi Sigma Pi
Chemistry Club
I helped prepare thanksgiving dinner provided by the campus ministries. I joined Phi Eta Sigma. I
participated in operation Christmas child. I served drinks at the free pancakes event held during finals week at the BCM.
I have been involved with the Environmental Education center and the Environmental club on campus.
I have been elected president of Delta Gamma which has required me to become extremely involved
in all aspects of the chapter.
Space Science Center.
SGA, community service, Greek Life, Leading Edge
Ministry Team.
I became a member of The Love Alliance and will be helping with a benefit concert for Haiti this
week.
I will be participating in a mission trip over spring break.
I helped prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for the campus.
I helped prepare a spaghetti dinner for a group of middle school band students.
I participated in Operation Christmas Child.
I taught a class for my local church over the summer.
Math, Computer Science, and Physics Club.
Became Vice President for the Association for Computing Machinery.

SGA, college Dems, talked to local politicians about community and currently waiting to run for office.
More leadership classes and I have been trying new things.
MSC, BCM, Cross point, tutoring, work.
I have recently joined the MSU Robotics team and will soon be joining MSU's chapter of ATME (and
IET department organization)...
What specific information from the ELS program was of most use to you?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Professional attire, communication with administration
interviews, daily motivation, inspiration, self-love and other personal support based on what the
keynote speakers covered. I also loved the teamwork exercises with the marshmallows and straws.
dressing for what you are doing
The thing that really stood out and I carried through from the ELS was the etiquette dinner. I feel like
I am more relaxed and comfortable around "important" leaders of the community/staff of Morehead.
I really have worked on my interview style.
Dining etiquette. Dealing with difficult people.
I have been more assertive in sharing ideas that are more practical and beneficial in the long term.
I loved meeting people in other organizations on campus. I also though the lunch with important
members of the campus and community was a wonderful activity. I really enjoyed the ELS and wish I
could go again!
I have used information presented in the dress, and eating manners sections.
How to deal with difficult people
I remember in particular the unit on dinning etiquette. I use it when in social settings that require
manners.
I also remember one speaker who talked about anger management. It's still a work-in-progress, but
I'd like to think that I am improving.
Get involved.
Conflict management advice, time management.
Mostly common knowledge things that I already knew, such as dress the part and you'll be taken
more seriously, go into a situation with an open mind and be willing to listen to others opinions...
etc.
What information would you have like to receive from the ELS program that you did not?
•
•
•
Talk about strengths and how to apply them.
I'm not sure, ELS did not tell me anything I didn't already know.
I think it would have been great for more of the student organizations on campus to have been represented at ELS.

Students. Proposed changes to the manual can be submitted by a coordinator to the advisor in writing.
2. Annual Budget: The budget of the Student Programming Board shall be established by the University through the annual budget process. The allocation of funds among the coordinators’ programs
shall be made by the advisor at the beginning of the academic year. This shall be called the internal
budget. Revisions to the internal budget may be made by the coordinators, with the advisor’s approval, as programs may require throughout the year. SPB shall not fund events of other organizations/ departments unless it is involved in the planning and implementing of such events.
3. Programming Model: SPB shall operate under an “apprentice” model of programming, meaning
they shall receive direction and instruction on programming and event production from the advisor.
SPB coordinators shall have the ability to choose programs for their specific duty area (as described
in their job description). The advisor shall then direct them in the implementation of the selected
programs.
The students maintain creative direction for their programs. However, the advisor shall have “veto” power
over programs which violate MSU policy, exceed budgets or are not planned adequately. Appeals of such
vetoes can be made to the Director of Student Activities and Greek Life by the coordinators.
4. Meetings: During the academic year, the SPB executive committee shall meet a minimum of twice a
month. The meetings will be led by the advisor.
5. Event Production: It is the responsibility of the SPB coordinators to work together to produce
events and gather appropriate volunteers or other staff to ensure events occur.
6. Committees: When committees are used, an SPB executive shall be the chair. Advisors to committees in addition to the SPB advisor may be appointed by the Director of Student Activities and Greek
Life, where needed.
Article IV – Amendments
Amendments to this charter must be submitted to the Director of Student Activities and Greek Life by either
the coordinators or the advisors, who will submit them to the Associate Vice President for Student Life/Dean
of Students and the Student Life Committee of Morehead State University for approval.
Adopted July 1, 2009

Other (direct quotes):
• When doing preference parties, [x sorority] said I didn’t have an invitation, but my friends said that
was a mistake. I’ve been looking at groups that are doing open bidding.
• I had to go to work and didn’t go the night after the block party
• I didn’t get asked back to any preference parties.
• I dropped out early and decided to go through open recruitment. I got a bid on bid night.
• I didn’t get a bid. I just wanted to know them better. I didn’t have a particular sorority in mind, but
when they told us to narrow down our choices, I did.
• I have 3 jobs and am a part time student. I’d be fined if I missed events for work, and I didn’t think
that was fair. I didn’t know when the money was due or whether I could make the payments on a
payment plan. They apparently only want people who can pay up front. They don’t tell you about
open rush. Why couldn’t they call? Someone had a photo of me and apparently I was making a
peace sign which turned [x sorority] against me because “everything about me said I was better in [y
sorority]. It sucks because I think it would be fun.
• I do cheerleading and don’t have enough time
• I dropped out because I stopped going to MSU.
• I didn’t get a bid.
• I didn’t know if it would affect my financial aid. I’ve since asked and found out it would not.
• I dropped out on Monday after the 1st day.
What could Panhellenic have done to make sorority membership more appealing to you?
• They did a good job planning, but I had class until 5:40 pm.
• I signed up online and didn’t have an advisor. My friends are in [x sorority] now. I am going to rush
in the spring.
• They could have explained more.
• Mainly, I talked to one person at each of the meetings, but I needed to talk to more than 1 person.
• Fraternities have it organized so they only have to go to the ones they’re interested in. I wish it were
that way with sororities so that they can get to know the people who are interested in them.
• I think everyone did a really good job. I dropped out at the first parties.
• Nothing.
How could membership recruitment be improved?
• Should have gotten an invitation. They [x sorority] said it was probably an error on the Greek Life
Office’s part that I did not.
• I don’t have anything against the process.
• It was a little bit dirty how it went. At the pref parties, two sororities told me they were going to give
me a bid, but neither did. I still would have been interested even if they hadn’t done that.
• Nothing
How did you learn about recruitment?
• I had friends who are Greek.
• Ice Cream Social
• I learned from friends. I did not get a postcard in the mail.
• From my friends that are Greek.
• I didn’t get a postcard. I saw signs around campus.
• Friends
Would you go through the recruitment process again?
• Maybe
• It is good that people have a place where they can fit in, but I’m not sure if I’ll participate in the open
bid. The spring is more like the fraternities and isn’t so dirty in that you go where you want.
• There are 2 I would like to join—I’m interested in the honors fraternity.
• I stopped because my Dad had the wrong impression. He’s OK with it now, so maybe, if I can afford
it.

Raise to 70
Could be larger but not significantly
60 is a good number but some of us could have more than 60
Chapters making quota in fall will not have class in spring because the new member classes are so large
I think it should be more
We should raise cap
I think each chapter should be able to recruit with whatever quota they would like
We could easily have 80 in a chapter
I'd love to have a larger number of members
It is very unfair to chapters that meet quota each year and retain membership. It is also unfair because
each chapter has separate rules for becoming alumnae or being inactive.
We need a larger number
I don't feel that we should be capped.
With the amount of girls that went through this year, I think it would be good to raise total 5-10.
Too large you lose personal closeness
I think with everyone being over cap, it is taking away chances for girls who are interested.
Our chapter is one of the biggest on campus
I wish it could be larger
I believe that almost every chapter on campus is ready for a larger cap.

Greeks do so much for this campus, more should be done to encourage people to go greek
Recruitment for certain chapters were disturbing to hear some stories of pressure from other chapters
Tell students about recruitment during SOAR--Have RA's tell them
More targeting of returning students
We need to market rush a lot better. A lot of girls didn't know about it until we said something
Recruitment Counselors
Recruitment Counselors demonstrated knowledge of
the process
Recruitment Counselors fairly represented all sororities
Recruitment Schedule
The recruitment dates worked well with my personal
schedule
The recruitment dates seemed to work well with the

The amount of time allowed for each meeting was

We were rushed off ADUC lawn
Bid day went smoothly
Recruitment was good! I hate Round Robin
Infractions were not dealt with in an effective manner
Time allotted could be longer
Start before school
You must participate in another club/activity and this doesn't support that
Meghan Dill was outstanding and did a wonderful job!!!
Watch dirty rushing!!
Too late, needs to be earlier in the day
Really need to keep an eye out for dirty rushing
I think the weekend before school starts would be better (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon)
