DESCRIPTION
Maverick Greek January 2013 Newsletter
Citation preview
At the Winter 2013 Greek Leadership retreat both of the governing councils and the Greek
Community’s chapter presidents sat down to discuss what goals they wanted to achieve during
their terms. In the end, three goals stood out the most to the councils which involved the
numbers: 3.05, 5.5% and 10.
3.05: This number represents the GPA the council would like to see the Greek community
achieve during the Spring semester.
5.5%: This is the percentage of the full-time undergraduate student population the council
would like to see the Greek community grow to within the next year.
10: This is the number of Alumni/Alumnae that the council would like each chapter to have
at the Greek Life Reunion on April 6.
Along with the help from the entire community there is no reason these goals cannot be
achieved!

Maverick Greeks should be proud of their academic performance during
the Fall 2012 term! As a community, Greeks achieved a 2.95 GPA, the
highest mark we've seen in at least four years. Three chapters achieved
higher than a 3.0 GPA. Four men’s chapters, Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Al-
pha, Delta Chi, and Phi Delta Theta, achieved above the all men's aver-
age of 2.83, and two women's organizations, Alpha Chi Omega and Sig-
ma Sigma Sigma achieved higher than the all-women's average. We
haven't had this many chapters achieve above these levels in years.
The community, fresh off this significant improvement, has set an ambi-
tious goal of 3.05 for the Spring 2013 semester. We're hopeful that all
members will contribute to this effort!

Panhellenic President
Trisha Makosvsky
Interfraternity Presi-
dent Jacob Moe
Meet Your New Council Presidents! January marks the first month that the new Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils
have been in session and with all of the hard work they will be doing why not get to
know your new PHC and IFC presidents? PHC President, Trisha Makovsky, is a sen-
ior human biology major and a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. She has held many
positions in her chapter and has previously served as VP of Conduct Review on PHC.
When asked what made her run for PHC President she replied, “The leadership op-
portunities and good resume builder. I also have a strong support for the Panhellenic
world and wanted to be a larger part of it.”
IFC President, Jacob Moe, is a junior double majoring in Business Management and
Marketing with a minor in Business. He is a member of Delta Chi and has previously
served as President of his chapter for two terms. When asked why he ran for IFC
President he replied, “After everything that I had done with Delta Chi during my 2
years as president, IFC president looked like a new area I could make an impact in.”
Both Presidents were also asked what they hope to accomplish during their time as
president, Trisha replied, “…increase Chapter companionship…Community
growth…more All Greek events” while Jacob replied, “I hope to build the Greek
community bigger and stronger than ever before, and have grades steadily improve”.
After we got all of the important questions out of the way, we figured knowing the
boring details wasn’t enough to truly know who your Presidents are, so we threw in
some fun questions.
Q. What is your favorite candy?
Jacob: Rolo (NOT to be confused in any way with YOLO)
Q. If you could be any super hero, who would you be?
Trisha: Wonder Woman!
Q. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one person and one
item who and what would you bring and why?
Trisha: Jeff Corwin – because he knows what to eat and what not to eat. And I would
bring my cell phone, duh!
Jacob: My wonderful girlfriend Emma Deppa, and a fully loaded yacht that can sail
around the world so we can enjoy the trip.
If you would like to see Trisha and Jacob in action, attend a PHC meeting Thursdays
at 4 P.M. or and IFC meeting Thursdays at 5 P.M. in the Nickerson Room (CSU 238). J a n u a r y N e w s l e t t e r

One of the upcoming
events in February is
Dance Marathon and Lau-
ren Holmes from Sigma
Sigma Sigma came up with
an idea to fundraise for the
event. We sat down with
Lauren to talk about her
mitten fundraiser and gain
some insight into Dance
Marathon and what it’s all
about.
Q. What is your position
on the Dance Marathon
council?
A. Community Donations
and Sponsorships chair.
Q. How much money
have you raised so far with
your mitten fundraiser?
A. $400 and there are still
a few pairs left!
Q. How many hours
would you estimate you
spent making the mittens?
A. 30 plus
Q. Where does the money
you raised go?
A. The Dance Marathon
fundraiser for Gillette
Children’s Hospital.
Q. What does your posi-
tion do?
A. I ask businesses in
the community for do-
nations that contribute
to our fundraiser in
February.
Q. Does it cost any-
thing to get into Dance
Marathon?
A. A $10 donation at the
door is all that is required,
but it is greatly appreciated
if you would be willing to
contribute more than this
as all proceeds go to Gil-
lette’s. The $10 donation
is well worth the money
spent, you receive your
name in a raffle for awe-
some prizes, get to eat
food from vendors from
all over the Mankato area
and there are also children
who have received care at
Gillette’s at the event so
you can get to know them
and their families while
helping out a great cause.
Q. What are you most ex-
cited about for this year’s
Dance Marathon?
A. We’re really hoping that
we have more participa-
tion from a variety of oth-
er RSO’s on campus be-
cause we would like to ex-
ceed last year’s donations
as well as spread the word
about Gillette Children’s
Hospital and the support
they give to patients and
their families.
Dance Marathon will be
held in the Ballroom in the
CSU on February 23 from
6-9pm and registration
starts at 5:30pm, but you
can register your team be-
forehand at

another.

This semester the ladies of Alpha Sigma Alpha are
planning on participating in the Polar Plunge in St. Pe-
ter on February 2. Polar Plunge is an event put on by
Minnesota law enforcement every year between Janu-
ary and March and all proceeds from the event go to
Special Olympic Minnesota.
The Alpha Sigma Alpha ladies’ National Philanthropy is
Special Olympics so this event is a way for them to sup-
port their National Philanthropy as well as supporting
the local Minnesota Special Olympics event. In order to
raise more money for this event, the ladies of ASA held a fundraiser at Applebee’s on January 23. If you
brought in a flyer when you came to eat 15% of the proceeds from the night went to the ASA women for their
Polar Plunge team. A few ladies at the event as well as Emerald Yeshidagne, the Philanthropy chair gave me
some more insight into their Polar Plunge team; there are 15 of the ASA ladies who are jumping and many of
the women who aren’t jumping are going on February 2 to support their sisters as they make the frigid
plunge. Brad Steele, a local DJ from the radio station Z99, is partnering with the ASA women to raise aware-
ness about the plunge. The goal for the ladies is $2,000 and from the Applebee’s event they were able to
raise $142.30!
If you would like to support the Alpha Sigma Alpha ladies raise money for their plunge team you can go to
polarplungemn.org and look for “Z99/Alpha Sigma Alpha” and your donation will help these ladies help
Special Olympics Minnesota.
Freezin’ for a Reason
Two Greek students were
walking across campus when
one said, "Where did you get
such a great bike?"
The second Greek replied,
"Well, I was walking along
yesterday minding my own
business when a beautiful
woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the
ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what
you want."
The second Greek nodded approvingly, "Good choice;
the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Use the “45/15 Method”,
study for 45 minutes
