The Panhellenic Council elected the members for the 1987-88 executive board Tuesday.

Lynn Alig assumed the role of Panhel president and Dawn McCarthy was elected to vice president.

Other candidates presented themselves to the council one last time. They visited the sorority houses during chapter meetings last week to introduce themselves and present their plans and goals if elected to office.

Newly elected Rush Chairwoman Judy Karner said one of her goals was to have a retreat before rush starts for next year. This would be “a chance to build a unity (with the girls rushing) before rush ever starts,” she said.

Laura Pinchot, new rush assistant chairwoman, told the council she knows what to look for in choosing rush counselors because of her past experience as a counselor. She said it is important for the counselors to represent the greek system as a whole, not just their sorority.

Laura O’Mally became the new secretary for Panhel. She said, “I need to listen to every chapter and do what’s best for Panhel as a whole.” She presented the idea of a newsletter in the future compiled of dates of activities and philanthropy to promote internal greek support.

Other elections resulted in Marie Keeley as Panhel treasurer, Michelle Martino as vice president of activities, Debbie Mitchel as vice president of public relations.

At the meeting the council also said they are considering expanding Greek Row by adding another sorority.

Greek Affairs Activities Adviser Jeff Cufaude said, “If you vote to expand, that doesn’t mean we’ll get another sorority that we don’t want. We’re not committing ourselves to another sorority.”

The process involved in acquiring another sorority is long and drawn out, he said. The chapter would have to write a request to be considered by the council, spend a day on campus and give a presentation.

The council would look up the history of the sorority on other campuses, whether or not it folded on other campuses and, if so, how many times.

Should a new sorority be allowed on campus, Cufaude said the earliest it would appear is January 1989.
