1 !"#$%&'()$*+(,-%%!.*$$#%/0"1'(%2$3+0$,,$*%!!! Kappa Alpha Theta at their annual event, Rock the CASA Fun Facts 2012 marks the 10 th Anniversary of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. All 9 Panhel sororities now have housing on campus. Sigma Nu is the oldest fraternity at Duke. Tucker Howard of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Jenny Ngo of Chi Omega were voted Greek Man and Woman of the Year in In 2011, Alpha Delta Pi celebrated it s 100th anniversary at Duke with a banquet at the Millennium Hotel in Durham. Duke has added 6 new fraternities and sororities since Introduction By Todd Adams 10 years ago the green light was given to create a new office at Duke that would serve students and the many constituencies found across the Greek community. At that time, I had the good fortune to work with students, alumni, and staff to open the place we now know as the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life. The road was not without bumps those first few years, but now I can say and we all can see that the efforts were worthwhile; our sororities and fraternities have a home for their governing councils, student leaders have quality advisement, and the office provides a hub and support for the myriad activities that the community undertakes annually. Many of the thoughts that follow have been shared before, but I welcome the opportunity to revisit them as we celebrate a decade past and look to the future. I don t think I m exaggerating when I say, that, now more than ever, Greek life plays a prominent role at Duke. Today we have 42 organizations representing more than 2,200 students. The Greek experience has been and continues to be centered on four distinct yet intertwining principles: academic success, leadership education, service to others, and meaningful relationships, all of which are cornerstones of the University Mission Statement. Duke Greek students engage in all facets of campus life, fully participating in the University community while enjoying the benefits of their life-long affiliations. Perhaps not surprisingly, students and alumni often feel that Duke is constantly even unnecessarily increasing expectations of its fraternity and sorority chapters. Through the work of dedicated Fraternity & Sorority Life staff, alumni

2 advisors, and inter/national staff, a foundation is being laid for the continuation and growth of the Duke Greek community. Over the last decade, many colleges and universities, as well as inter/national offices, have sought to more clearly define and articulate the connections between institutions, headquarter offices, alumni and undergraduate chapters. At Duke, the product of such work is the Greek Relationship Statement signed by all of the chapter presidents in 2010 with the support of the Duke University Greek Alumni Council. With these collaborations, Duke formalized and secured its ongoing relationship with fraternal organizations. Since the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life opened in 2002, several new and re-chartered chapters have (re)joined our ranks, the Inter-Greek Council (IGC) was formed, and the Order of Omega was constituted and now hosts the annual Greek Leadership Awards Banquet honoring the best in our community. As a fraternity alumnus, I feel strongly that the Greek experience can be one of the most significant and beneficial in students collegiate careers, and its rewards can reach far beyond time spent as undergraduates. However, its value today has come into question, and rightly so. As recent incidents have illustrated, acts of violence, the objectification of others, and the abuses of alcohol and other drugs are still all too common in fraternities and sororities, however infrequent the occurrences are. In order to address these issues, we must act quickly and prudently with the leadership that our founders showed when they formed our organizations so many years ago. This vision can only be realized with the commitment of many people and organizations, and all involved must share the ownership. As a community our challenge is to provide the highest quality student experience while supporting the University s mission. Duke University President Richard Brodhead has spoken of the good of this place when discussing the nature and value of higher education, and he authored a book of his essays and speeches under that very title. The progress and ultimate value of fraternities and sororities will not and should not be measured by the short-term successes and failures that are certain to occur, but are more accurately reflected in the long-term impact of membership just ask the thousands of alumni who participated in Greek life as undergraduates. The good of this place, the relatively young, aspiring and evolving Duke, is strongly connected with Greek life for many current and former students. Their Greek involvement shaped them their values and beliefs and has arguably framed their undergraduate experiences by challenging them to be active learners, agents of change and, yes, even socially responsible. Our alumni serve as examples of the sustaining, positive influence that Greek life can have when it is done well, as an integrated part of the institution. In the decade ahead, the University must strive to leverage the benefits of fraternity and sorority life its significant history and traditions dating back to the establishment of Phi Beta Kappa while looking to secure the future for a strong and vibrant Greek community at this good place called Duke. About the author: Todd Adams established the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in 2002, serving as Director until 2008 and transitioning to a new role as Director of New Student and Family Programs. Today, Todd serves Duke as Senior Associate Dean of Students and the Director of Parent and Family Programs. Thank you, Todd, for leaving such a wonderful legacy.

4 Duke University Greek Community Standards This past year marked the rollout of the new community standards initiative with the purpose of improving the management and quality of sorority and fraternity chapters on Duke s campus. Through self-evaluation and documentation of achievements and challenges, the Greek Community Standards initiative will serve as a development tool for chapters and as an assessment to for the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The six criteria that make up the Greek Community Standards are: Academic Achievement, University and Community Relations/Service, Membership Intake and Education, Chapter Management, Campus Involvement, and Financial Management. Chapters meeting the highest standards of excellence will be recognized for their achievements at the annual Order of Omega Greek Awards dinner.

5 Starting in 2010, Greek Convocation has now become a new tradition for Greeks at Duke, serving to welcome fraternity and sorority members back to campus and to challenging them to make the most of their Greek experience in the coming school year. In Fall 2011, attendees brought donations for the Ronald McDonald House of Durham and Greek Convocation began with a special performance by Duke s renowned a cappella group, The Pitchforks. Throughout the event students listened to addresses from their Greek council presidents and from a special guest speaker. This past year, executive director of Duke Engage, Eric Mlyn, spoke and charged students to increase their involvement in service to the Duke, Durham, and global community, encouraging them to consider programs like Duke Engage, because of the opportunities that such experiences offer for personal growth, and the enrichment that they lend to the undergraduate experience.

Winners of this year's show included Delta Sigma Theta/Alpha Delta Pi and Delta Sigma Iota/Alpha Tau Omega. This event has become the Greek collaboration event of the year as an NPHC or IGC chapter is charged with teaching an IFC or Panhel group how to stroll. During the teaching process the students learn about each other and their fraternity/sorority experience. The IGC Stroll Show has led to a greater connection across Greek councils, increasing understanding of the unique Greek experiences of students from different chapters. Blaze the Stage brings the Greek community together like few other events and we are proud of the IGC for continuing to make it such a successful and highly anticipated event each year. We are looking forward to next year's show!

During the Spring 2012 semester, the Interfraternity Council welcomed the return of Kappa Sigma Fraternity by approving recognition of the chapter on Duke s campus. After an absence of ten years, we are excited to announce that Kappa Sigma is officially back and will undoubtedly hit the ground running come Fall Kappa Sigma Fraternity was founded on December 10, 1869 at the University of Virginia. The Ideals of Kappa Sigma are as follows: to enhance the educational mission of the host institution, to promote the ideal of Brotherhood, to actively contribute to the personal growth and development of its members, to promote ethical behavior and decision-making, and to encourage service to others. We are excited to have Kappa Sigma back at Duke and look forward to the positive contributions that Kappa Sigma will make to the IFC, as well as to the broader Greek and Duke communities. Check out the Duke Chronicle article concerning Kappa Sigma s return to campus, For more information about Kappa Sigma Fraternity please visit IFC New Member Reception This past Spring, the Interfraternity Council hosted a reception for new members at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club following the formal recruitment period. The reception was an opportunity for new members to mingle, to meet current IFC executive officers, and to hear addresses from both the outgoing and incoming IFC presidents. New members also heard from special guest speaker, Charlie Eitel (Sigma Nu), who talked about the role that fraternity membership has played in his life, encouraging the new members to make the most of their fraternal experience, and sharing some inspirational words from his book, 84 Quotes.

Zach Prager (T, 12), former president of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity chapter at Duke, received the Robertson Outstanding Undergraduate award, the order's highest award. Prager, who was noted for his work in risk management, anti-hazing efforts, his IFC leadership and many other accomplishments while on campus, said that being president of his chapter while at Duke was "without a doubt the greatest experience of my life." During his acceptance speech at the PIKE 68th International Convention said that looking back on his chapter presidency, he realized that he had switched from focusing on himself, to focusing on others. "Being president of my chapter was not about me but about everyone around me." Prager admitted he was jealous of those still in school, for the opportunity that lay before them. "I want to challenge all of you in this room to step outside your comfort zone and get involved." View Prager s speech here, beginning at 11:30 into the presentation. IFC on Central Campus As you may know, the majority of IFC fraternities have historically lived in sections located on Duke's West Campus, but as our Greek community continues to grow, the University has expanded Greek housing to accommodate more chapters, while at the same time incorporating for space for non-greek selective living groups (SLGs). This change comes along with Duke s

9 return to a house model, meaning that with the start the Fall 2012 semester, Greek housing at Duke will take on a slightly new look. Duke s IFC fraternities will retain a number of their traditional sections on West Campus, while the chapters that leave West move to newly renovated sections on Central Campus. We are excited about the opportunities that the house model offers to our students and look forward to the new look of Greek housing at Duke! Section Locator: Looking for your fraternity's section?

Alyssa Dack and Casey Miller of Alpha Delta Pi and Pi Beta Phi, respectively, worked to make this a reality. Beginning in Fall 2012, the administration s implementation of the house model for all selective living groups has made it possible for all nine Panhellenic sororities to have sections of their own on Central Campus. Led by Panhellenic President, Jenny Ngo, the Panhellenic Executive Board and the nine chapter presidents were able to work with the administration to achieve an equitable and affective vision of what sorority housing at Duke should look like. The selection process for section locations was determined utilizing information submitted by the chapters, including chapter preferences, chapter size, and the number of women from each chapter who desired to live in their chapter section. This is a true landmark event for Duke s sororities; the debate over sorority housing has continued on and off throughout several decades of Duke history. Now, finally, in 2012, we have seen sorority housing at Duke truly take shape. As the new school year approaches, we are excited for our women and the new opportunities and experiences that sorority housing will make possible for them.

10 Panhellenic Association Fashion Show: Fashion for a Cause Members of Panhel on Central Campus We are all, at the very least, aware of fashion (or to our lack-there-of) to varying extents, yet this past Fall semester Panhel showed Duke that they truly have style. Panhel and Duke s fashion magazine, FORM, collaborated with Circle of Sisterhood to host the first annual Panhellenic fashion show. The nine Panhel presidents walked the runway at Metro 8 Steak House in Durham wearing fashions from designer, Ann Taylor, and formal wear donated by clothing company, Rent the Runway. Congratulations to the planning team of Jessica Stark (FORM, Zeta Tau Alpha), Megan Arias (Panhel Philanthropy Chair, Zeta Tau Alpha), Caroline Long (FORM, Kappa Kappa Gamma), and Kate Pobuda (FORM, Kappa Alpha Theta) for their hard work at making this event a huge success. Proceeds from the show went to benefit Circle of Sisterhood, a sorority-based foundation who s cause is to leverage the collective wisdom and influence of sorority women to support entities around the world that remove educational barriers for girls and women, uplifting them from poverty and oppression.
