Recommendations and Suggestions from the Greek Affairs Staff
Chapter Consultant/National Officer Visits
- We encourage chapter leadership to schedule a meeting with your visiting consultant/officer as soon as you know that they are coming to K-State
- For most visits you should budget one hour. If there are any follow up visits during a school year, you should budget 30 minutes for second visits.
Chapter Events
- Although the Greek Affairs staff enjoys having dinner at chapter houses, we enjoy invitations to your philanthropies, special events or milestone celebrations where we can bring our families meet more of your chapter members and see your mission in action.
- The Greek Community has a healthy and vibrant calendar of events. Including chapter events, our staff could attend functions almost every evening and weekend. It is our goal as a staff to attend an event of each chapter at least once annually. However, we won’t attend without an invitation so please invite us!
