Hello again!
Last week was super busy after my last blog post. I had so much homework and tests to study for, but thank goodness this week has calmed down a little bit.
This week is National Hazing Prevention Week. As Greeks, we know the sterotype for hazing and we work really hard to show that we do NOT tolerate hazing on our campus. My fellow Greek Interns and I worked to put together a few events for this week. On Monday, we had GUTS with all of our Greek chapters and it was like a bunch of relay races with teams of people from each organizations. We had events like potato sack races, dizzy bat and tug of war! Everyone got really into it so it was fun to watch. On Tuesday, we showed an anti-hazing documentary to all of our new members about a death due to hazing at SUNY Plattsburgh. It was really eye opening and scary to see how hazing can lead to serious consequences, but it was a good learning experience. Tonight, we have a leadership conference for all E-Boards from all different Greek chapters and on Friday, we have a new member retreat with the new members. The Greek Interns plus Aaron (who is IGC New Member Chair) will be putting on different workshops for our new members. It may seem like a lot of stuff and a little overwhelming, but it really is a great opportunity to learn about hazing and how to prevent it.
Hope everyone is getting ready to enjoy break next week! I'll post again before break and hopefully figure out how to add pictures onto here!

My First Blog!
Hello everyone and welcome to my very first Greek Life blog!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Alexa Mann and I am a sister of Sigma Sigma Sigma (or Tri-Sigma) here at Oneonta. I am the Recruitment Director for our chapter and I joined my sorority as a freshman in Spring 2009. I'm also super active in the general Greek Life community. I am on the Inter Greek Council(IGC) Executive Board as the Community Service Chair and I work in the Office of Campus Life as a Greek Intern! It may sound like my whole life is Greek Life, but I do participate in other things. I'm a junior B-6 Education major with a Spanish concentration and I'm also a tour guide for the Admissions Office.
Being a part of Greek Life has really changed my college experience! Tri Sigma is always keeping me busy and involved, from our fundraising car washes to planning our philanthropy nights for Rocking For Robbie to our weekly chapter meetings. Not only do I have 50 other sisters, I also have made some really great friends from other Greek organizations.
Right now, we have 15 great new girls who are going through the new member process! It was the biggest new member class on campus and the biggest class we've ever had in our own chapter! They're all so hard working and I know they'll be a great asset to our sorority.
Well, I'm off to go to one of my Greek Intern meetings, along with my fellow interns, Jaclyn Fettinger and David Lucas. We're like the 3 Musketeers of Greek Life with Angie as our boss.
Until next week,
Alexa
