The MTSU fraternity and sorority community continues to make great strides. Our office has been so impressed with the high caliber of students and chapters we serve. The purpose of this report is to provide you with a comprehensive glance of where we’ve been and where we’re headed! Below are some of our community highlights: Our FSL chapters contributed $60,199.98 to local and national charities and donated 22,535 service hours to MTSU and Rutherford County. Over 614 fraternity and sorority members made the Dean’s List during the 2012-2013 academic year. Several new programs and initiatives were launched, all of which serve a specific purpose related to the needs of our community, such as: community image and branding, governing council structures, health and safety of chapters and community members, entire member development, and leadership development opportunities for community and chapter leaders. As we begin the 2014-2015 academic year, it is our hope that we can keep the momentum going and work together to advance fraternity and sorority life at MTSU. We are so appreciative of our partnership with students, staff, faculty, alumni volunteers, and international headquarters. With these relationships, we are able to provide students with a valuable fraternity and sorority experience at Middle Tennessee State University. Interfraternally, Donald Abels Coordinator 2 IFC INFORMATION During the mid-1800’s, men attending institutions of higher education realized the need for teaching in life and not just academics. Thus, fraternal organizations were formed with ideals centered on brotherhood, leadership, scholarship, and service. At MTSU, there are 11 fraternities. The Inter-fraternity Council acts as the self-governing body to these organizations and promotes the valuable opportunities each chapter offers.

Collier Associate Dean of Students Professor of Education .- - INTRODUCTION The main goal throughout this thesis is to provide feasible advice on research that can be implemented by the fraternities at Ball State University to enhance their chapter's operations and to promote continued improvement and success in the future. Many of the areas could easily be covered, but it is advisable to concentrate on a few specific areas that need immediate attention: 1. Rush 2. Why some fraternities are doing better than others. 3. The importance of the Interfraternity Council. 4. Public Relations In the following pages, an attempt is made to describe the present situations, analyze the problems, and make some projections for the future. A sincere appreciation is expressed to Dean Collier for his cooperation, advice, and friendship, during the Spring Quarter of 1977, but also my previous association with him. -, - TABLE OF CONTENTS Related References ....•............••.•.... i Ru~;h ••••••••••••••.•.•••••••••••••••••••• •• 1 Fall Rush Schedule ......................... 3 General Requirements .......•.•....••.•.•.•. 4 Proj ec t ion For the Fu ture .....••...•....... 5 Summer Orientation ................•....•...

By Dave Dziak It’s All Greek To 1 It was a tough quarter to say the Me least. Most of our members are in majors that require intense math and science courses, such as Math 152 or Chemistry 122, Presidential 2 which are some of the most failed classes at Reports The Ohio State University, Our members dedicated their quarters to hitting the books. Other Officer 3 You can bet that everyone in the Reports house was ready and willing to help those struggling in their respective classes. It’s a Looking Ahead 4 very common thing to see multiple DTS members sitting in a room with laptops open doing math homework. The amount of care Delta Theta Sigma Members at Professional that these members have not only for each Development Night—Spring 2010 other, but for the house overall is outstanding. Only because of their dedication and knowledge were the younger members able to pull through in their classes. In addition, it wasn’t uncommon to see members in their room studying on Friday or Saturday nights when all of our other Greek colleagues were out partying. DTS ended up with a 3.33 GPA for Spring 2010, as compared to all Greek organizations (3.22), all IFC governed fraternities (3.11) or all male undergraduate students (3.05). In regards to other agricultural fraternities, we were well above the mean.

    A MESSAGE FROM JON AXELSSON IFC VICE PRESIDENT FOR RECRUITMENT Dear Future Fraternity Member, Congratulations on taking your first step towards becoming a true Penn Stater. Your time spent at Penn State will work to shape and define the man you will become for the rest of your life. You have an opportunity to decide which aspects of student life you experi- ence to the fullest, and which you miss out on completely. Joining a fraternity is a decision that will provide you with opportunities you simply can- not find elsewhere. Fraternities at Penn State participate in every aspect of student life and provide additional opportunities that are not available to those who don’t partici- pate. Every year, fraternity men participate in community service, philanthropy, intra- mural sports, Dance Marathon, and more. Beyond that, they learn to manage functional households, often with operating budgets of more than $150,000, balance a social life with a professional life, network with successful alumni across the nation, and gain invaluable leadership experience in the process. Fraternity life has played a vital role in shaping Penn State’s history. As seen below, many of Penn State’s historic leaders, and leaders of our nation, were members of fraternities. For example, legendary football coach Joe Paterno joined a fraternity at Brown, and some of Penn State’s greatest presidents are in fraternities -- George Atherton, Milton Eisenhower, Edwin Sparks, and James Beaver. This distinction may come as a shock to you, but the truth may be much more surprising: most of America’s greatest leaders are members of a fraternity, including all but three presidents since 1825, and 80% of For- tune 500 executives were members of a fraternity.
