Because of DeHority Complex's closure, Panhellenic Council will soon be stepping back from focusing on recruitment, PHC President Amanda Hendrix said.
The PHC will be able to focus on different issues while a recruitment implementations team will help devise strategies to help increase the low recruitment numbers, she said.
Lynda Wiley, director of the Office of Student Life, said the recruitment implementation team was one aspect of the Greek Strategic Plan, which is a five-year plan that strives to improve greek life.
Hendrix said it was important for there to be a single, focused plan for all three greek life councils instead of having different plans.
"The three councils have kind of realized that this plan is not made for one specific council," she said. "It's made for the community."
She said there were different implementation teams, including a risk management implementation team, responsible for different issues.
Wiley said earlier in the semester, there was a greek leadership summit where the members from the PHC, Interfraternity and National Pan-Hellenic councils came together and realized an organized plan of doing things was the only way of improving the greek community.
The plan also addresses more than just the greek community on campus, she said, as it also tries to get more alumni involvement.
Student Life had sent surveys asking alumni if they would want to be more active members of the community, she said. From those surveys, more than 100 people responded with interests of being more involved.
Hendrix said the Office of Student Life had been a great help to the council members in reaching the strategic plan's goals.
"We have a huge support team that has done wonders for us," she said.
The strategic plan also allots time in Fall 2008 to modify the plan, but Wiley said nothing was wrong with the plan. Circumstances might present themselves and cause the plan to "evolve," she said.
"I think it is standard with any strategic plan," Wiley said.
Hendrix said the strategic plan began when a consultant examined the local greek life and said the community could be one of the best in the country.
"We could be something a lot of people look up to," she said.
