Following a year of changes to the Greek system that have garnered national attention, the three branches — the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Letter Council — elected their new leaders this week.
After complaints surfaced about increased pledge class sizes and students that were shut out of the greek system, the Panhellenic Council announced plans to introduce a new sorority beginning in Fall 2011.
The members of a new sorority interest group on campus face a long and uncertain wait as the Panhellenic Council’s exploratory extension committee researches the possible effects of adding a new chapter on the Greek community. According to Alexandra Hildreth ’11, vice president of recruitment, publicity and extension, there will be a vote on the issue within the next three months.
November marks a series of changes in Greek leadership on Cornell’s campus. The Panhellenic Council elected its officers for 2010 on Nov. 1 and the Intrafraternity Council elected its executive board in a two-part election on Nov. 11 and Nov. 18.
