There is a lot going on in this campus community, and the Panhellenic delegate did a great job keeping everyone looped in. She did quite a bit of communicating back and forth when various changes were proposed to documents. The Panhellenic delegate consistently communicated with her Panhellenic coordinator and other advisors via email and phone. A whopping 24 members have a leadership role in Panhellenic or are on committees. They led/managed 10 events for the community, including several sisterhood-type events with other Panhellenic chapters. The Panhellenic delegate hosted two educational sessions, one for new members and one for all members, about how to get involved in Panhellenic and its role. The chapter participated in five philanthropic events.
