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.

Back in Action

Hey everyone sorry it has been a while since my last blog. This past week has been a busy week will all the new members getting into their organizations. When it comes to the internship i am still planning out Greek Week and it seems to be starting to come together. Im really excited to see how it eventually turns out, because i want everyone to enjoy it. I don't want to be that guy who planned a lame Greek Week. Other than that, i haven't been working on much else because Greek Week is a lot to work on. When i have more to talk about ill post again.

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

End of the Week

Hey Guys,
So this week was choc-full of events. I attended a teleconference on leadership which was pretty insightful, but kind of boring. I did get a lot out of it and it kind of helped me look at my leadership roll on campus a little better. I also attended another AOD Dance Party meeting which is going to be fun. It is a dance party that promotes safe drinking habits if you are going to go out and drink. Also i am working on flyers for the freshman block party which will take place in August (those are always a lot of fun). Other than that I am blogging as you can tell as well as a few other little projects which i will update you on next week. I am really just looking forward to the weekend which is always fun. Until next time have a safe weekend and come back soon.

Back After Break

Hey Everyone
It's my first day back from our random week break and im excited to get back to my internship. I know Angie has a lot of new things for me to start working on. One thing ill be continuing to work on is Greek Week which has been a bit of a pain. I have all these ideas but its hard to set it in stone when you still are waiting on other people to get back to you with things like where events will be held. Other than that ill be doing little projects like posters and figuring out themes for events on campus. Ill have more information later in the week but untill next time stay classy
