On Saturday, September 20th, Fraternity and Sorority Life hosted a meeting for all new Greek Life inductees. The meeting focused primarily on making the new class of Greek Life feel more comfortable in their new groups. They also received more information about Monmouth College’s history in fraternities and sororities.
“This gives new members a chance to learn about their resources and get to know what Greek Life on campus is,” said Panhel President Ruby Poffinbarger. “Especially because this is when we teach them how to identify hazing situations and have them practice speaking up so we can continue to keep our campus a safe, haze-free environment. It’s also a fun opportunity to meet older members of the chapters”
Not only is this gathering informational, but it is also a way to make new connections amongst other members. “My favorite part is definitely getting to meet all the new members that I haven’t really interacted with yet and offering some wisdom that I wish I had someone tell me when I was starting out,” Poffinbarger said.
