he Eta Chapter of Theta Chi provides an oppottunity for education, friendship, a sense of be- longing and strives for mutual suc- cess amongst all brothers. Brothers sought to provide a positive contri- bution to the greater Harrisonburg community through their service work with Spotswood Elementary, their participation in the Adopt-a- Highway program, as well as offer- ing sober rides to students on the weekends. 0X seeks to promote strong ties of brotherhood. 0X spon- sored a nationally recognized speaker, Mike Green, to speak on alcohol awareness. Chartered in 1973, 0X is the second oldest fraternity at JMU and regained its charter in 1995. I President Michael L. Keens Vice President Brian D. Haller Secretary Dave P. Penland Treasurer Jason B.

-i I Molevvski I — - verlooking the picturesque Newman Lake, Greek Row is home to 17 fraternities and sororities. Each I f 1 group was required to have a certain number of members in their house. Houses had managers who were responsible for keeping track of details similar to what hall directors would take care of in resi- dence halls. I -T embers of the Greek com- IbJII muniry make themselves III known outside of their fra- ternities. Senior Kyle Wesson and junior Jon Judah worked under Kristin Radciiffe as Orientation As- sistants during the summer of 1 997. Wesson, a Kappa Alpha brother, was also the 1997-98 SGA secretary, and Judah was elected as the 1998-99 president of Alpha Kappa Lambda. he Greek Life system began in May 1939 with the establish- ment of two sororities at Madison College, Kappa Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Lambda. Greek Life has ex- panded to 32 fraternities and sorori- ties, which are recognized by the National Interfraternlty Conference, the National Panhellenic Conference and the Black Greek Caucus. Ap- proximately 2,000 students at the university are members of a frater- nity or sororit) ' . Sorority rush is held in the fall and fraternity rush is held in both the fall and spring. Greek or- ganizations offer a wide variety of op- portunities for their members. Mem- bers are often involved in many phil- anthropic events and other campus organizations.
