As the next chairwoman for the All Greek Council, I am excited to work closely with the UAlbany Greek community. My training has given me further insight into the ongoing issues and concerns that our community faces and needs to address. My goals for the academic year include but are not limited to: • Lessening unsafe downtown social activities • Combating the stereotypical images associated frequently with Greek Life • Addressing the concerns from the Greek Commission report and much more. AGC and FSL have been continuously discovering new and creative ways to promote a positive Greek experience. I hope to encourage organizations to reach outside of their councils and engage with other members of the Greek, student body, and administration to assist in our efforts and to maintain a healthy, positive, and impacting fraternity and sorority life.
