mhj3         09/12/00 03:25 Minutes from 9/11/00 Meeting                      

Brothers Present: 
Michelle (chair), Chris Argall, Rachel, Jeff, Brian Hetsko (before feeling of  
"ickiness" prompted him to leave), Eudora, and Brian Green. 
 
All of this information will be reiterated at the chapter meeting on 9/14/00. 
 
I. Information Sessions 
     A. Dates for information sessions have been established.  The first 
information session will be held on Monday, October 23 at 7:00PM.  The second 
information session will be held on Wednesday, November 1 at 7:00PM.  The 
locations for these sessions have yet to be determined.  They will both last 
approximately 1 hour. 
     B. My plan for these information sessions is to have a member of each 
class, starting with a Founding Father and ending with a Zeta, if possible due 
to the time of the sessions, participate in a panel discussion about the  
fraternity.  Each panel member will discuss BRIEFLY (no more than 5 minutes) 
about their experience as an MC and their hopes for the future of the  
fraternity.  This will, hopefully, give the prospective members an insight as to 
the progression this fraternity has made over the years.  I will be contacting 
the alumni to see if it is possible to have representation from every class. 
If you are interested in being your class rep, please sign the sheet that will be passed around, indicating which meeting you would prefer to participate in. 
     C. If there is time at the end of the panel discussion, we are going to try 
to have some type of social event.  Eudora suggest playing a music game she has. 
  But, we are open to suggestions from the fraternity.  Please email them to me 
at mhj3.  If we do decide to have a social event at these sessions, the event 
will be advertised on the flyers in addition to the date/time/location 
information. 
 
II. Bigs 
     A. I realize that it's still a little early for this, but if you are 
interested in becoming a Big this year, let me know.  I want to get a rough 
idea of how many people are interested.  As it has worked in the past, for 
clarification, graduating seniors are offered the opportunity to become Bigs 
first so their family trees do not die.  After all the graduating seniors are 
asked, Brothers will be asked according to class.  Zetas are not eligible to 
become Bigs until they have been an Active for one full year, unless they are 
graduating. 
     B. Based on Eudora's suggestion for a chapter retreat, I was thinking of 
planning a mini-retreat for those interested in becoming Bigs to "train" them 
on what's expected of them and to give them ideas as to how they can help their 
Little through the MEP process.  Plans for this have not been finalized as I am 
still trying to hammer out a master plan. 
 
III.  The next MEP committee meeting will be on Monday, September 18 at 6:00PM 
at 473 Montclair (living room).  The meeting will let out in time for Game 
Night in the Warren Square E lounge.
