Chapter You
Advise:
Theta Chi
As a
faculty/staff advisor, how are you involved with the fraternity or sorority
that you work with?
How would you like to be involved?
I
meet with the leadership (Logan McGee this year) occasionally, go to lunch or
dinner occasionally and sometimes critique their evaluation presentation.
What are some of the chapter’s accomplishments that you are
proud of?
Theta Chi is a high quality group of
guys and it’s nice to be involved with a group that keeps a mature perspective
on their activities.
What do you find
is most rewarding about advising?
Providing
a supportive role for students who want to be in a living group that is more
involved with a more diverse group of students than they ordinarily would
interact with. (i.e. a group of friends or fellow majors).
As a faculty/staff advisor, why did you decide to become
involved in the fraternity/sorority community here at Lehigh University?
Basically, I knew the leadership one
year and they asked me.
Do you have any
specific interests or areas of expertise that you would like/be willing to
share with the fraternity/sorority community?
Hmmm.
I sail, am very involved in resettling refugees from the disaster areas of the
world. I am strongly pro-life.
What is your
best advice for Greek-affiliated students?
You’re
in a great situation, make it better. Keep in mind that group think is not usually
a good thing. Spread out from your Greek base and make the Greek-non-Greek
links better. Work against testosterone overdose.
What do you like
to do when you aren’t helping to advise?
Teach
– at least in the circumstance that I get to see students rising to the
challenge and “getting it”. I like to help deserving people.
Any other
additional comments?
Hey,
talking about myself is my almost least favorite thing. And you think you can
get me to say more? Nope.
