This article could also be titles “Return of the IGC”, but a certain writer was made to swear there would be no combat or lightsaber battles in this article. So, with those topics firmly excluded, here goes:

Anyone connected with the campus Greek organizations has likely noticed something about the IGC this year – or perhaps they have noticed less of it than they would like, considering that the gathering of the authorities from each organization was described as ‘defunct’ at one point by an anonymous student.

Fortunately, that is no longer the case, as a meeting last Tuesday brought the Greeks together to elect a full body of new officials to manage a new council, and get the ball rolling again.

The dilemma that was focused on during most of the elections was the election of freshman and sophomore officers – in the interests of training officers who would not be leaving in a scant couple months, leaving the council once again without management. To that end, the elected officials were drawn from underclassmen, with seniors standing in as advisors to help train the inexperienced before the end of the year (the officials elected at this meeting will carry over into next semester). Also important, however, was finding officers with strong connections to other organizations on campus – as networking is an important job for anyone holding a student office on campus. And so, here is the list of positions and those elected to fill them:

Chair of the IGC – The big kahuna, representative of the IGC in President’s council, the face of the ICG, so to speak, to be held for the current term by Andrew Bauknecht.

Chair of Standards – This is the position that would probably be held by that angry sergeant if this happened to be a military situation. The Chair of Standards oversees the organizations, and generally exists to keep everyone in line with the rules, and is responsible for enforcement and punishment should such become necessary. Jacob Stayley ascended to this position.

Chair of Planning and Activities – like most positions of this sort, no explaination is needed. This person is responsible for the fun stuff, essentially, and this time is is Amanda Kitson. The fourth and final position filled on Tuesday was the Operational Manager – the lucky soul appointed to take notes and write the minutes, and generally ensure that meetings are run smoothly. With the positions filled, IGC moves forward into its official meetings soon, and will be resuming its domination of all things Greek in the near future.
