If
you are unaware, last semester the Eco-Reps program, a sustainability
course at Lehigh funded by residential services to provide peer-to-peer
education for residential students, grew from a few residential halls to
all dorms and Greek houses. Fall semester Greek Eco-Reps had
representation from six sororities and five fraternities and held three
sustainability focused events organized by the reps.
I am
contacting you all now to ask that you encourage any members interested
in increasing sustainability in your house to apply to be an Eco-Rep for
your house for the coming spring semester. More information is provided
in the application, which can found in the link below, or I can answer
any questions via email at luecoreps@lehigh.edu.
Having an Eco-Rep in your house is a great way
to gain information about living sustainably in your house, be a part of
a new but growing program at Lehigh, and help your green accreditation
rating!
Applications are due January 19th but
please encourage members to turn them in earlier or email us with
interest so we can get a feeling for the number of reps we will have:
Thanks so much and we look forward to hearing from a member from each of your houses!

Greek Eco-Rep Coordinator
