Council Corner February 14th

 

Happy Valentines Day! The men of IFC surprised us this morning with roses. What a great way to start the day  :)

"My name is Frank, and I collect secrets." 

The WSU Greek community was so lucky to have Frank Warren from Postsecret come speak on Sunday at Beasley.  Frank told the audience of how Postsecret was started; he used to approach strangers with post cards and ask them to tell him a secret.

"It never made the secret go away. But it made the burden lighter"


As for the most common secret Frank receives, "I pee in the shower."

The second most common secret, something we all can relate to is that we are all on a journey to find someone we can be comfortable with. As sorority women, we should find solace in knowing that we have a sisterhood bonded by tried and tested links. Whatever it is we feel like we are keeping secret, some one in our chapter has been there!


"We don't keep secrets. Our secrets keep us. If you can get through it, if you can find your way from darkness to light, know this- you might like the person you had to become to get there. It gives you a story of healing."

This weekend, Something of Value is coming to our campus and we are so excited! The National Panhellenic Council puts on this event for sorority women to encourage empowerment and accountability. It is a values-based approach to risk-management education for collegians. The day-long program is led by a traveling team of NPC representatives and an attorney with NPC affiliation. Program format includes group discussions of values, a mock trial and teaching confrontation skills. Participants identify risky behaviors such as abusive relationships, substance abuse, academic dishonesty, eating disorders, financial mismanagement, hazing, harassment, personal safety concerns and other issues specific to their campus environment. Action plans are developed and collegians are empowered to follow-through.We'll see you there!

We are proud to announce the Greek Gray Out Game for the Men's BB team this Saturday at 5:00 p.m. against Arizona State University. The sorority and fraternity with the most attendance get their own section for the University of Washington game behind the hoops next to the WSU band. Winning chapters will also receive prime time spotlights on their section during the game, on TV, and be apart of a video promotion with Marcus Capers.



Lastly don't forget that we are doing great things all the time on campus! If your chapter promotes a positive image for WSU Fraternity and Sorority life, Tweet it to us at @WSUPanhellenic and use #RSM. We are showing the world what a REAL sorority move is.
