  3. Important Dates for the Next Two Weeks

  4. Recruitment/Expansion: Call to Action!

  5. General Updates

Brothers,

My name is Raphael and I’m the new chair for the Undergraduate Advisory Committee (UGAC). The purpose of the UGAC is to represent the undergraduate voice at the national level and increase communication between the chapters and the National Fraternity. Although the UGAC has been relatively inactive the past Biennium, the newly elected group is committed to revitalizing the committee to fulfill its purpose.

The UGAC will begin hosting a virtual meeting at the start and end of each semester for Chapter Presidents and UGAC reps to attend which will focus around giving reports from the national fraternity as well as collect feedback from chapters that the UGAC will voice during National Fraternity meetings.

I am inviting you to join the first meeting on Tuesday, August 29th from 8:30-9:30pm EST. I look forward to seeing all Chapter Presidents and UGAC members there.

Your brother,
Raphael Wasow
