Presidential Task Force on the Revitalization of Greek Life
Charge
A healthy and vibrant Greek community is an important aspect of a residential campus and is consistent with NIU’s desire for students to build communities and support one another and our university. NIU has a proud history of student participation in Greek organizations that is rooted in long-lived values and embedded traditions consistent with those of the university.
The charge of this task force is to assess the current state of NIU’s Greek community and offer recommendations on how to revitalize the Greek community and student experience. In recognizing the complexity of the Greek community, it is important the task force assess all four governing councils and define recommendations for the entire community and specific councils.
