Greek Week Day 1

Ok so yesterday was the first day of Greek Week. We had dodgeball and kickball in the Alumni Field house. At the beginning i went crazy because it was a little unorganized. After a little bit it all came together and people seemed like they were having a good time. The kickball was fun but not many people got into it. On the other hand i think Dodgeball was a big success. Everyone got into it and had a blast. One day down and four to go ha ah. I can't wait for it to be over. Tonight is the water events which a lot of people don't seem to wanna be apart of but well see how that turns out.

Getting Down to the Wire

Hey, So it is finally Friday and im so excited for the weekend. As im sure some of you know Greek Week is this Sunday and im praying that everything goes well. I have been updating the Greek Awards criteria and getting all the last minute things done for this coming week. I actually really can't wait for Greek Week to be over already ha ha. Im sure it will be fun and everyone should have a good time. Other than that i was working with one of the other interns to get a slide show up for the banquet that has greeks on it from throughout the year. The last thing i need to do is make the certificates for the IGC e-board and the Greek Peer Advocates, then im done. Thats really all i have today since Friday is my easy day. Well have a fun safe weekend!!!

Hey Everyone, welcome back. This break was not to bad, it was passover at least for me since im jewish but happy belated passover and easter to everyone. Passover was fun i got to see a lot of my family over break which is always nice. Other than that i am back at school and ready for the home stretch. We have four weeks left and then comes graduation. I am a bit nervous because i will be leaving but a little excited at the same time. On the other hand i still have my internship here at the Greek Life Office and its going well. Greek Week which i have been planning for sometime is this sunday and im excited to see how it turns out. I have had some issues with ordering t-shirts but that finally went through and we will have those on monday. Other than that im sure i have some more stuff to work on this week. I am going to get to work, i will be back soon.

Monday Monday Monday

I'm back from what i thought was an amazing weekend. We had a going away party for one of my pledge brothers who is going to the Navy. I wish Murph the best of luck and we are all going to miss him and his crazy antics ha ha. A lot of alumni were here to hang out and say their goodbyes also which was really cool. On a different note, this week is going to be very busy for me. Break is coming up and i need to tie up some loose ends with Greek Week. I handed out all the packets and are expecting to know how many shirts i will need to order, as well as how much food i am going to need at this awards banquet. Even though planning Greek Week has been a bit stressful i have actually been enjoying myself. This internship has been really great so far an has helped me gain knowledge in a lot of different areas of campus life. I definitly think if you are interested in be a Greek Intern, and you wanna get to know a lot more about campus and how things work then this is the place for you. If you guys have any questions about the internship feel free to e-mail me at Mercel26@oneonta.edu.

Things Finally Going My Way :)

Good Afternoon, so this week has gone smoothly because Greek Week is now officially set up. I have finalized the events, the schedule, and have finished the packets that go out to all the chapters. All that is really left is ordering the shirts for the teams,and the food for the awards banquet and the tailgate. As i mentioned last time i really hope the Greeks enjoy this years Greek Week because i am putting a lot into it, and for them not to like it would almost be wasteful. Other than that i am looking forward to break that is coming up next weekend. It will be nice to get away from all the work for once. This is my last blog for the week and i will talk more next week. So until next time have a good weekend have fun and be safe.

Getting the Hang of Things

Hey Guys,
This week has been a lot better than past weeks due to the fact that Greek Week is starting to fall into place. I recieved calls back from Alumni field house and the Chase Pool, the good news is we finally got it reserved for Greek Week and we can now start to plan the events. We pretty much have the events for the field house down, but we need to think of some water events that we want to do in the pool. I am hoping that all the Greeks like my ideas and really enjoy this years Greek Week. My committee met on Monday and for next week we are going to have teaser flyers and shirt design ideas. As of now this week is going good and i really can't complain (Knock on Wood). Before i get a head of myself i am going to get back to some work....so ill ttyl
