Seminole Greek Alumni Foundation Hosts Dinner Meeting at the Hotel Duval

Dec. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA — December 7, 2011 — It was “standing room only” at  

Seminole Greek Alumni Foundation event held recently at the Hotel Duval’s Opal Room.

The dinner meeting included prominent FSU alumni, Inter Fraternity Council Leadership,

Presidents of fraternities as well as FSU Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Mary

Coburn and James Hunt from FSU’s Office of Greek Life.


“It was a great meeting. The energy and enthusiasm in the room was really nice to see,”

said Mike Hines, the Foundation’s President. “Everyone is focused on how we can make

our outstanding Greek system an even better learning experience for our students.”


A common theme from the meeting was the need to share the news that FSU has one of

the best Greek systems in the entire nation – a point that was emphasized by FSU’s,  

James Hunt as both “safe and successful.”


Last month the Office of Greek Life issued a report describing the national achievements

of the University’s fraternities and sororities. The report included information that

described the performance of fraternities and sororities across several criteria. Most

notably:
                   
                    •    25 Fraternity and Sorority Chapters won National Awards

                    •    Higher GPAs than Men’s and Women’s overall average

                    •    Fraternity and Sorority members raised over $531,000 for Charities

                    •    Volunteered 63,000 community service hours

                    •    Over 160 student organizations led by Greek members

                    •    Fraternity and sorority membership grew 11% over last year
:

“We believe that our active and engaged alumni - in combination with our outstanding

University leadership and strong student leaders are the keys to success,” added

Hines. “This collaboration will keep our system strong and create unique FSU learning

experiences for our students.”
