This week we’ve been working on getting in touch with presidents and house managers of various sororities and fraternities on campus.  We hope to set dates and times to go into the houses and do an initial sustainability audit.  It has been a hectic week for many sororities and fraternities, as many are voting in a new executive council.  When things settle down we will be able to get back on track with setting up audit dates.  In the mean time, we are working on putting together a comprehensive reference packet to guide Greek life in hosting sustainable events.  We will be addressing issues such as transportation, food, and decorating.  We will be outlining various current issues surrounding the topics and offer several sustainable solutions.  Hopefully this packet will encourage sustainable practices across Greek life.  We are really excited about getting this project up and running, and we hope to instill that excitement in the Greek community.
