Ball State has just developed its own strategic plan and one objective is to continue the revitalization of Greek life on campus, President Jo Ann Gora told the crowd in her opening remarks at the unveiling.  "This is an incredibly important part of the plan because Greek members make up a small percentage of the number of students on campus," she said, "but the members are an enormous percentage of those who are involved in other campus organizations."

Kay Bales, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, said "The plan provides a blueprint for a more vibrant and successful Greek community. We're all responsible for the future of the community and in my time at Ball State I've never found a university president or Greek administrators than the ones here who are more committed to creating a community that is beyond what we've dared to dream in the past."

Eight goal areas were outlined which focus on academic achievement, alumni and advisors, chapter achievement, housing, leadership and membership development, recruitment and expansion, risk reduction and education and vision, values and relationships.  The unveiling was videotaped and clips will be added to the website in the coming weeks.  Those in attendance were impressed and excited with the work of the committee and wanted to become more involved with the process - I invite you to review the plan and explore the strategic plan website at www.bsu.edu/greeklife/stratplan. This site also provides information about how to become involved in with the implementation phase of the strategic plan.
