AN IFC/PANHELLENIC NEWSLETTER LATE FALL 2012 AN IFC/PANHELLENIC NEWSLETTER IFC PRESIDENT’S LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Greetings Bucknellians, past and present. Hello everyone! I would like to begin my newsletter message by We wanted to send out one more newsletter before our terms ended. In this issue you will be able to catch up on the news of each chapter, as well as learn about Greek Week and other events that the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils have been planning. highlighting the culture of action that is growing ever stronger on Bucknell’s campus today. One short year ago, Bucknell University President John Bravman stood in front of our community with a message of concern and a proposal of opportunity. Through calls for Greek-lettered organizations, along with the rest of the Bucknell community, to reflect on and address certain perceived shortcomings in our social culture, we were tasked with the unifying challenge of building the best Bucknell possible. Looking back, the year 2012 will be viewed as a significant period in Bucknell’s history during which Greeks responded by joining the rest of the community to set a definitive course for the changes we all seek. It has been my supreme honor to have served as the President of the Interfraternity Council during this exciting and transformational time. Over the course of the past year, the Interfraternity Council has realized incredible, long-overdue, internal restructuring. We have grasped the benefits that creative and purposeful communication within the Greek community can have on Bucknell’s campus as a whole. We have re-established the expectations that must accompany We would like to thank everyone for all your help and support in the past year and continue to support next year’s board as they continue this. We would like to extend a special thanks to Josie Fertig for all her help and patience in creating this newsletter. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us. Ben Kaufman, Alumni and Faculty Liaison Stephanie Thomas, VP Community Outreach the roles and duties of our council’s executive board positions and the supporting chapter presidential body. We have set the stage for our successors to transition quickly and smoothly into their new positions, so that they may continue to move forward with the mission of building a stronger Greek community. It is my pleasure to announce the success of the joint philanthropy project between the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council — the “Million Penny Project” — in far-surpassing our initial goal of raising $10,000 for the HandUP Foundation (continued on p3) in this issue Panhellenic President’s Letter p2 I The Million Penny Project p3 I Greek Week is a Success p3 Chapter Updates p4 I Noteworthy News: Election Results Are In p9 I Contact Information p9 B! GREEK GRA PANHELLENIC PRESIDENT’S LETTER The Panhellenic Council has been continuing to make advances to improve the Greek community at Bucknell. Throughout the fall term, we have been working tirelessly to improve inter-sorority relationships, bolster relations with the University’s faculty and staff, and make a positive impact on both Bucknell’s campus and within the greater Lewisburg community. We have been actively planning new and exciting events to bring the community together. Earlier in the semester, Panhellenic hosted the founders of the Kind Campaign, Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, two sorority women who started the international movement, documentary and school program to bring awareness and change to girl-against-girl “crime.” We invited girls from the local schools and surrounding community to join the Bucknell sorority women in the viewing of the documentary Finding Kind, and hoped to spark a change in stereotypes and hurtful words that plague women’s relationships, starting from a young age. This event helped to unite our community and foster kindness, not only within our individual sororities, but the Bucknell community in general. In addition, reaching out the younger female population in the surrounding community has been instrumental in fostering a stronger relationship with the Lewisburg community. We are excited to continue this relationship with the community and design more events, serving as role models for the younger generation. We have also been working to continue our programming within the Bucknell community. Panhellenic has continued to sponsor discussion luncheons with faculty and staff members. This semester, we partnered with Provost Newell to discuss corporate competency and diversity in the workplace. The discussion was stimulating and the sorority women enjoy getting to know faculty and staff members outside of the classroom. We are looking forward to continuing these discussion lunch events next semester. Panhellenic continues our efforts to educate and inform unaffiliated women about the fraternal organizations on campus and what it means to be Greek at Bucknell. Earlier this semester, we hosted ‘Fall for Sorority Life,’ an informal event for unaffiliated women to meet current sorority leaders, discuss their experiences and get a sense about what will happen during the recruitment period. In addition, we have been continuing to improve upon the formal recruitment process, analyzing feedback from women who participated in the recruitment process earlier in the semester and making changes to improve the process for the future. Panhellenic is looking forward to continuing the ‘Sorority Life 101’ program that began last year and bettering the education process for potential new members. We are very excited to welcome Alpha Xi Delta to the community this spring and Delta Zeta, no sooner than spring 2015! The Extension Committee did a fantastic job at critiquing the community presentations and evaluating whether the organizations would be a good fit at Bucknell. Ultimately, the committee recommended to eventually colonize both organizations on campus, and Panhellenic couldn’t be more excited to grow the sorority community! 2012 has been a great year for sorority life at Bucknell. I have greatly enjoyed my time serving on Panhellenic and believe that we have made great strides in improving the community. The council of women has been fantastic and we couldn’t have done it without all of their hard work. We are now looking forward to the future and are excited about transitioning the new executive board into their roles in hopes of seamlessly continuing the success that we have achieved. I look forward to seeing the sorority community strengthen and continue to contribute value to the Bucknell community.

Fraternally, Patrick John Zailckas Interfraternity Council President GREEK WEEK IS A SUCCESS Greek Week this year was a huge success! Fraternities and sororities across campus competed in a variety of events such as Greek Trivia Night (with “mocktails” that each sorority made), Greek Sing and the Greek Olympics. They could also earn points throughout the week for various things, including ‘liking’ Bucknell’s Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs Facebook page (Bucknell OFSA) or voting on sorority Bid Day pictures (whichever had the most ‘likes,’ received the most points) or showing up to a “Greek Nation” picture where as many different fraternities and sororities were there. In the end, the fraternity winner was Chi Phi and the sorority winner was Chi Omega. We would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped out and made this Greek Week a lot of fun and very successful. The brothers of Delta Upsilon competing in Tug-O-War during Greek Olympics. WWW.BUCKNELL.EDU/GREEKLIFE 3 CHAPTER UPDATES ALPHA CHI OMEGA Looking back on the 2012 fall semester, we Alpha Chi ladies have been very busy, and have enjoyed building bonds of our sisterhood along the way. In October, we held our annual Dodge Domestic Violence Dodgeball Tournament, and with a packed Gerard Fieldhouse, we raised around $1,300 and lots of domestic violence awareness. The winners and recipients of the “golden dodgeball” this year were the men of Kappa Sigma. Also in October, we hosted a faculty appreciation event, Apple Pie with Alpha Chi, to which members invited some of their favorite professors to join us for coffee and apple pie one afternoon. We really enjoyed spending time with everyone who came. Another favorite October activity was traveling to Penn State to join the Beta Mu chapter of AXO for ‘Cosmopolitan’s Kisses for the Troops,’ a national program sponsored by the magazine where sorority chapters are chosen to host “parties” where they write and kiss as many postcards as possible to send overseas to the troops. We sent hundreds of cards and loved getting to know our sisters at PSU! I’m also pleased to announce that we’ve initiated our wonderful new member class and are so proud to finally have them join us in full Alpha Chi sisterhood. Celebrating all of the semester’s achievements at La Primavera for our fall formal was a great way to wrap up 2012. We look forward to installing our new executive board and for more great things to come in 2013! ALPHA DELTA PI Every Homecoming Weekend, with high Bucknell Bison spirits, Alpha Delta Pi holds our biggest fall philanthropy event, ADPiHop. This year we conveniently set up our event on St. Louis Street in the midst of the entire Homecoming bustle. During ADPiHop, all our sisters cooked pancakes outside for students, faculty, alumni and Lewisburg residents to enjoy. This year we hosted our first ever pancake-eating contest to spice up the event! We had a wide variety of participants who were asked to eat 10 pancakes as fast as they could without using their hands. John Fowler of Delta Upsilon fraternity successfully won the contest and CHI OMEGA was awarded 10-percent of the ADPiHop earnings Chi Omega has had a great fall semester and is excitedly looking forward to to the philanthropy of his choice.
