The Interfraternity Council is an organization whose purpose is to establish and maintain good interfraternal relationships and promote the fraternity system as a whole at McNeese. The IFC is composed of two delegates from each fraternity on campus. These delegates serve on a council which coordinates and governs men’s Greek functions. Campus beautification is one of the projects that the IFC has under- taken. Much of the landscaping that surrounds the new student union building is a result of the work of IFC. The IFC, along with the Panhellenic Council, also sponsors Greek Week. Greek Week is an event that is held every spring semester at McNeese and is a celebration of the Greek system on campus. This past spring, the IFC also published a brochure which contained pictures and articles about the activities of each fraternity. This brochure is used to give a better idea of what the fraternal system at McNeese is about. McNeese’s Interfraternity Council’s purpose is to govern and coor- dinate the Greek Social Fraternal System of campus and to promote and strengthen the system for the betterment of the University. The members of the IFC are composed of representatives from Alpha Phi Alpha, Deacons, Delta Tau Chi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Kappa Sigma, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Pi Kappa Phi.

262 ¢ Greeks Panhellenic Council McNEESE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The Panhellenic Council is an advisory governing organization that is composed of representatives from each sorority. The council is the of- ficial spokesman for matters concerning the six national sororities on campus. The council encourages sororities to become involved with campus and community affairs; promotes scholarship by emphasizing and recognizing the academic performance of the sororities’ members; promotes leadership; and encourages cooperation and friendship among the sororities and coordinates sorority activities including Rush Membership Week. McNeese State University has four sororities which are members of the National Panhellenic Council. They are Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Phi Mu, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta are members of the National Pan Hellenic. The Panhellenic Council is the official governing council of the sorori- ty system. Through the efforts of Panhellenic, activities are planned to involve all sororities and a general effort of unity is promoted. A sorority can be a very rewarding aspect of your life. By becoming a member of a sorority, a girl not only learns to become a responsibile in- dividual but also learns to strive for high goals in life through her own ef- forts and through sincere encouragement from friends. Most of all a sorority creates a lasting relationship between each of its members because a girl grows to realize and appreciate the ideas of each sister. ‘ Na} Nise We : 2 | 4 fh Sara | 4 AL urd OFFICERS Michelle Mier President Alpha Delta Pi Laura Calloway V.
