VP of Judicial Affairs [jrc353]: • My office hours are still M/W from 1:30-3:30! • My next round table is 3/30 @ 5:30 in LBJ 3-21.3 • I had four out of the eight sororities at my round table o I have sent TWO emails to ADPi, AXiD, and Gamma Phi, both chapter and personal email, and they still have not filled out the agenda I attached to the email. I have no other way to contact them other than email so it’s extremely frustrating when they aren’t responding and not filling out the agenda. Please tell them to be checking their emails. • Bob had sent out an email finalizing the dates and times for the History and Strategic Future of Fraternity and Sorority Life presentation but based on feedback, he decided to cancel the multiple dates and times and make it one large (300-400 people) presentation ▪ It will most likely be on a Tuesday at the most convenient time for all the chapters ▪ Chapter is on Tuesdays so the members should be free to attend the presentation o I personally would like for all exec members and all the Fall ‘19 and Spring ‘20s from all the chapters to attend, but it is the chapters decision o When you go to these presentations, it is not social hour. It is not for you to be on your phone. There is so much useful information that is going to be shared and what needs to be learned. It will make our community understand WHY things are the way they are which is something that has been missing o Give Bob your utmost respect. He’s taking time out of his schedule to present this to our community in order to help it grow. He deserves every inch of your attention. Please, from the bottom of my heart, be. respectful. • PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR EXEC BOARD IS READING THESE MINUTE VP Recruitment: [gge8] • Shout out to all the Recruitment Chairs for coming to our first round table!
