Council Corner February 7th

First of all congratulations to the women of Gamma Phi Beta for winning the photo of the week contest!

Here are some updates from our Panhellenic Executive meeting yesterday

Rho Gamma applications are on Orgsync! In order to access the application you must be in the WSU Panhellenic group- if you request to join, one of our officers will approve you ASAP. Applications are due in Cub 323 on February 13th. Being a potential Rho Gamma means that you are an outstanding member of our Greek Community and represent all chapters on our campus. We wanted to give you some tips to best represent our community in your application.

• When referring to other members of our Greek Community, they are men and women, not boys and girls!
• We are members of different chapters, not houses. Chapter is your organization, a house is where you live. 
• The absolutely amazing, fun, and exciting lives we get to lead are as members of the Greek Community not the Greek System. We are a family, not a machine :) 

Good luck ladies, we can't wait to read your applications! 

This Saturday at 6:00 p.m. IFC and Panhellenic are proud to bring to you the "Greek Pink Out" women's basketball game! The Greek community and Cougar Athletics will pink out Beasley in support of breast cancer awareness.We are giving away $300 in Cougar Cash giveaways at halftime and "Cougs Wave Pink" shirts throughout the game. Come wearing your block letters or pink and support this amazing cause!

 There will be a Hazing and Social Justice program at 7:00 p.m. this Sunday, February 12th at Beasley Colosseum. This program will be brought to you by Postsecret, check out their website for more information.

This weekend Panhellenic officers Nicole, Ryan, and Elise will be headed to St. Louis to attended the Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values conference. They will grow as sorority leaders and help strengthen our community with the experiences they will have! We can't wait to hear what they learn.

Lastly, International Badge Day is coming up on March 5th! Help us celebrate by commenting what your badge means to you on the blog and facebook page. You can also send us a Tweet @WSUPanhellenic and use #IBD12. The best responses will received gift cards!
Here are some fun facts about the badges from two sororities on our campus

• The six Founders of Kappa Kappa Gamma chose the golden key as the badge of Kappa Kappa Gamma and announced themselves on campus in 1870 after their badges arrived from the jeweler. 
• In 1897, the Founders of Alpha Omicron Pi rode bicycles from Barnard College down New York's Fifth Avenue to Theodore B. Starr's Jewelers to have their badges designed. Decades later, Founder Stella Perry would add to her story, "Fancy girls going down Broadway and Fifth Avenue on bicycles today!"

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.
