New Business DOE: How do we go about allocating more money for events? You can request funds from e-board and finance committee will review it. Or go to senate.. Joli suggests to come to e-board first though and then we will go to senate. We have limits on what we can give out so if worse comes to worse, fundraise! If you present allocation, make sure it is for a good purpose! Announcements The women s golf coach wants to know if there is anyone interested on being on the golf team!

It s free to post and if you do anything, they have a greek page that they can post your events and community services on. Open Discussion New semester yet Joli has to repeat that this is your greek council!! Every decision and everything is by US so if no one joins committees and gets involved, then there will be no allocations and that s not cool. Don t just go to Joli during her office hours, use your greek council E-board members office hours to help out too. Make the council what you want it to be instead of saying it sucks and wishing it was something else. More clubs want to throw events with greeks so please try to throw events with the clubs to include them more. Reach out to them! Give Joe your weekly meeting times.
