Community Relations/Public Relations Observations

The Ball State Greek community needs to create a stronger, more positive public image on campus and in the surrounding communities.

Develop and nurture relations with various police departments, neighbors, faculty, non-Greek students and the Athletics Dept.
Utilize university departments to help the fraternity/sorority community become more adept at Public Relations techniques.
Utilize shared values, vision and mission to develop a targeted (target leaders, scholars, athletes, students of character, residents on campus, etc.) promotional campaign. The best PR campaign will not change anyone's view of the Greek community if individual members or chapters continue to act in a manner that goes against the shared values of the community.
SOA should update and improve the Greek website.
Develop a "good taste" policy for party themes and t shirts.
University officials need to better promote Greek life as a leadership development opportunity (i.e. orientation classes, SOA educating faculty and staff, etc.)
