Announcements

- IGC has received a couple of complaints regarding the freshman cap. The school changed the rule and it was never voted on by members of Greek life.  if we want we can try to change it back. This is an example of the school making decisions without notifying us and trying to take advantage of us. School is taking advantage of us. The Freshman GPA cap is now between 2.5-2.9. Do we want to try and change it back? If so everyone needs to discuss this with their National and see if they will support it.

-After discussion the general opinion is to oppose the rule and gain support of prospective national organizations.

-Tau Kappa Epsilon would like to thank everyone for supporting our TKE Bid a Date, which took place last night in the Pit. Your support helped us raise almost $1,000 for the Police Charity Ride
