Big changes are being made in Wingate Universities Greek Life. The staff is working hard to make adjustments that will allow the community to be student lead. The goal is that advisors will be there for guidance and advice, but the students involved will be making the decisions.

“Increasing student engagement is very important for a successful and thriving Greek community,” said Zach Blackman Greek Life GA.

Letters have gone out to begin the application process to join Order of Omega. To join students must be a junior or senior with a GPA about the Greek average. Order of Omega is a honorary Greek organization that is nationally recognized. At Wingate University the organization will be centered on scholarship, leadership, and service. Activities the organization plans and participates in will be chosen by the new members.

Applications are now available for all Greek students who are interested in being a part of the 2010 Greek week planning committee. In the past chapters have nominated two members who compromised the Greek week committee, the office of Greek Life hopes that the application process will bring the most creative and dynamic ideas to the committee.

The office of Greek Life is also working hard to restructure the governing councils. Students on the councils are working to make the bylaws and constitution the best it possibly can be. Panhellenic is in the process of changing the rotation of officers, and IFC is working to update their bylaws.
