Pi Kappa Phi: It was not our intent to exclude or target people. It is easier to manage smaller philanthropies. We’re doing what’s alway been done ii. On behalf of the men of Pi Kappa Phi I would like to apologize to anyone who was offended by our event. c. Phi Kappa Theta: Someone behind in the MGC crowd said “What the f***?” which they took to be offensive when we are here to have a conversation with MGC d. Sigma Tau Gamma: Are there any intentions of changing the event name/structure? e. Pi Kappa Phi: Seeing that it has caused such a stir, yes there will be discussions around the event. Part of wave of PC culture, not the intent of the phrasing and naming of the event f. Alpha Gamma Rho: This is a irrelevant topic, they feel as if they are pushing us around because they were not invited. g. Sam Baxter: Need to craft some sort of a response to MGC going forward h. Carter Hill: I will be the one having the conversations with the other councils so anything said during this meeting will be taken into consideration. i. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia: Need to have some sort of response, but need to keep in mind an air of respect, but also highlight that as a tradition, it is how it has been done but never done with the intent to offend. Emphasis to come into the conversation at a level playing field j. Sigma Pi: We should not be divided just because we are on separate councils, we should reach out to all the other councils and make sure that they know they are invited to these events k. Alpha Epsilon Pi: As the jewish fraternity, we target a jewish audience, but it's because that is our base. Makes sense that Pi Kappa Phi has targeted PHA as an audience because that's who they interact with most. There has been a lot of talk about connecting between councils but maybe not so much action. Time to move forward and make a more conscious effort to be more connected with MGC and other councils rather than back pedal and defend. l. Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc.: They were not trying to be offensive, we should take this in a more open minded way. m. Pi Kappa Phi motioned to extend time limit by 10 minutes n.
