Images of Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds J|l too often come to mind when thinking about fraternity houses. However, these stereo- types created problems for the Greek system in the early nine- ties. Police began to send un- dercover officers to curtail the rampant underage drinking that was occurring. In response to prodding by the Ann Arbor police and the University, the Greek system established what was known as the Alcohol Policy, a comprehensive regu- lation that involved both guidelines and restrictions for parties. A committee staffed by members of the Greek sys- tem known as the Social Re- sponsibilities Committee (SRC) ensured that these rules were being followed. This policy was not the system ' s first attempt at self- government. Years prior to the passing of the alcohol policy, both the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and the Panhellenic As- sociation (Panhel) instituted the Greek Actions Review Panel (GARP) designed to act as reviewers for disputes that arose involving either Rush infractions or hazing. fjAfter the passing of the alcohol policy, the panel also [Reviewed violations of that policy. GARP originally operated separately within the IFC and Panhel communi- chec The experience of self-governance has been a valuable aspect f y -i t i r r involved students. -- Panhellenic Advisor, Mary Beth Seiler ties, however the panel bega to hear cases together, with the two heads from the Panhellenic Executive Board and IFC Ex- ecutive Board. Panhellenic Advisor, Mary Beth Seiler, was extremely en- thusiastic and proud of the evo- lution of both GARP and SRC Seiler praised the efforts of the many students who worked tc make the Greek social scene i safer environment. The sys- tern has come a long way ove: the years because of the work o strong leaders. The experience of self-governance has been valuable aspect of Greek for many students, but I fee that these students have set ai excellent example for the entin University. It is not easy t( correct the ills of the socia scene here but the student have come a long way, and thi improvements that have beei made are clearly visible. Th University and the Ann Arbo Police Department should loo favorably upon the Greek sys tern, said Seiler. Panhellenic Social Chaii Julie Keating, concurred with Seller ' s remarks. Ris management is a major concern of the Greek system, an we as a system have worked very diligently to arrive at th point where we are confident that an overall safer socic scene is a guarantee. + story by Tracy Solow I layout by Virginia Hiltz ATA Front row: Alexandra Monies, Carmela Kudyba, Adriana Rendon, Darilis Garcia 262 + SRC GARP

Greek week was the largest student-organized phil- anthropic event on the University ' s campus. The 29 Etudents who served on the Steering Committee served as a hub for all Greek Week events, rhe Steering Committee was responsible for organizing both philanthropic donations and larger events such as the Blood Drive, Greek Olympics, and Sing and Variety. The Steering Commit- tee was chosen through a vigor- ous interview process. Co-di- rectors, senior Patrick McGinnis from Alpha Delta Phi and senior Karen Partree from Kappa Kappa Gamma were selected last spring by Panhellenic Advisor Mary Beth Seiler and Interfraternity Council Advisor Terry Landes. I The most rewarding part of being on the Steering Commit- tee is acting on and motivating others to act on our own social conscience. It ' s a chance to unite the Greek system to serve the community we have al- Chip Peterson Fraternity and sorority members join forces to earn points for their teams during the Greek Olym Olympics consisted of many events such as a tug of war and an obstacle course which were held on Palmer Field. Evans Scholars, to assure spon sors were contacted efficiently. These members solicited loca and national companies through letter-writing and later, teleconferencing. Pizza House and the Burger King located on South University Avenue were two local sponsors who do- nated a percentage of mone from all orders purchased by members of the Greek system A large amount of monej was raised through ticket sales to events such as Mr. Greet Week and Sing and Varietj and also through t-shirt am sweatshirt sales to the Greel Week participants. Fund-rais ing efforts benefited Camj Hartland, a national pediatrii camp for children with AIDS. Three local charities alsi benefited from the Gree system ' s efforts, includin Ann Arbor Hospice, Peac Neighborhood Center, and thj HIV AIDS Research Centej (HARC). The goal of Gree Week was to raise $50,000 t contribute to these loc fi rea We eady received so much from, said Partree. Local and national sponsors contributed to Greek Week through financial and or product donations. Na- tional Relations Chairs senior Kelly Moran from Kappa Kappa Gamma and junior Richard Bauer from Chi Phi worked with Local Relations Chairs, senior Kim Seed from Delta Gamma and sophomore Clint Willey from causes. In the end, Greek Week ' s activities serve tw goals. The approximate goal is to bring the Greek Systei together for spirited collaboration which benefits 01 campus, Ann Arbor, and national communities. Th ultimate goal is to instill in participants of Greek Week t spirit of service, said McGinnis. story by Jessica Hermenitt | layout by Virginia Hilt 1205 Hill Melanie Axelrod, Sally Blank, Michele Bloom, Alison Cohen, Melanie Dolgoff, Rachel Dorfman, Cindy Fedida, Julia Gatio, Jessica Heffess, Dayna Morton, Esther Ingber, Meredith James.
