All Greek Council (AGC)

Organization Structure •President: Oversees all administrative functions, liaison to advisors/faculty, ensures all VPs are held accountable for duties and responsible for overall success of organization –Libby Pappas •VP-‐Leadership: Responsible for promoting leadership development in both the Greek and campus community through events like the President's Retreat and on-‐campus workshops –Mimi Gary •VP-‐Community Service: In charge of promoting small and large scale community service projects for both the Council, the Greek Community, and campus –Ronan Daly •VP-‐Funding: Oversees all expenses/Cinances as well as creating and promoting funding opportunities –Devon Miller •VP-‐ All Greek Awards: Responsible for all aspects of the planning, grading, and hosting the All Greek Awards events which takes place each spring –Fall 2012: Briana Balaban –Spring 2013: Megan Maurina •VP-‐Inter-‐Council Relations: Promotes communication and participation in the four councils as well as the planning and execution of the Chapters of Excellence Brunch each fall –Fall 2012: Kelly Hiserodt –Spring 2013: Krystal Simpraphone, Joseph Mendoza

Future of AGC •  AGC no longer serving its original purpose

o  Ways in which AGC works with the Greek community has evolved but purpose has always remained consistent

o  AGC lacks resources truly needed to perform in the highest functioning manner

•  By absorbing (and subsequently distributing) events, aims and initiatives of AGC evenly throughout the Greek Life ofCice and its respective councils/members of the Greek community, staff and leaders will be able to more effectively foster-‐ and truly uphold-‐ AGC's mission statement and intent as an organization on campus

•  Other involvement opportunities for members: o  Greek Life Internship Position o  Greek Life Chair Position

§  Smaller group of Greek leaders that will work together as a neutral party to help assist UW Greek Life in programming and funding initiatives

•  Remaining AGC funds will be allocated to either a charity organization or to CfLI for future events

Oncology/Hematology volunteer at the UW hospital, Alpha Gamma Rho Scholarship OfCicer, Research Assistant for the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center

Shared Standards Work Group Mission: The Shared Standards Agreement for fraternities and sororities at the

University of Wisconsin-‐Madison (UW-‐Madison) aims to improve the management quality of the fraternal experience at UW-‐Madison for organizations of the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-‐Hellenic Council, and the Panhellenic Association.

Purpose: The purpose of the Shared Standards Agreement for fraternities and

sororities is: (1) to outline a clear, and comprehensive set of standards that each organization must attain to be recognized by their governing council; (2) to provide a tool with which fraternities and sororities can quantify their activities, and conduct an annual self-‐evaluation process; (3) to determine how organizations wish to function within the greater UW-‐Madison community.

Shared Standards Work Group Categories:

•  Academic Achievement •  Brotherhood/Sisterhood Development •  Citizenship & Community Service •  Leadership Development •  Membership Development •  Values Congruence

Development of Greek Chapter Evaluation Tool

•  Current Chapters of Excellence (CoE) model needs updating •  Shared Standards Work Group (SSWG) created in 2012 to reevaluate CoE model and provide new format

•  SSWG had great conversations and was able to develop rubrics, but had difCicult to quantify measures of success

•  After getting a "behind the scenes" look at AFLV Awards process, combination of work from CoE application and SSWG rubrics will be used to create a chapter evaluation tool that emphasizes proof of claim and a simpliCied grading structure

•  Looking to have completed and out to chapters in Fall 2013 for 2013 calendar year evaluation.

Committee on Student Organizations

Functions of the CSO: •  Carry out the registered student organization disciplinary process as established in the Policy on the Conduct and Discipline of Registered Student Organizations
