DeKALB — While much of the Student Association Senate meeting Sunday night was dedicated to executive staff appointments, many of those in attendance were there in support of a new sorority.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated showed up in force to get its organization approved. The sorority has 51 members and at least half of them were in attendance. With so many people in the Clara Sperling Sky Room, Vice President Michael Johns had to give vacant senate seats to the crowd.

AKA president Jasmine Wideman said her sorority’s goal is to work for “the good of all mankind.” The organization was unanimously approved.

Most of the senate meeting was spent introducing and discussing the newly confirmed executive staff. Each member was asked to speak for five minutes then answer questions. Chief of Staff Aaron Langguth was not present due to a fever, but was still confirmed.

A need to refute negative student comments in the Northern Star was discussed by Sparklend O’Connell, Director of Public Affairs. He said the SA has gotten some negative press, especially with the recent 50 cent draft trip and he wants to help correct that.

The plans for a live service tracking map for the Huskie Line were explained by Brent Keller, Director of Mass Transit. He said initially it would cost about $200 per bus to add GPS capabilities and about $11,000 for the entire project.

Director of Greek Life Daniel Leonard spoke about unifying the four Greek councils. He said unity would benefit the greek community because the university doesn’t have a great stance on the issue. Leonard said he would begin the process with a roundtable discussion.

Sigma Nu fraternity was also approved.
