Dear Campus Community,
President L. Song Richardson and the Board of Trustees have requested a commission to explore the future of Greek Life on the Colorado College campus. I am pleased to head this commission. The last commission on Greek Life took place in 2011 and provided recommendations on the future of Greek Life at CC.
The focus groups will explore questions including:
- Is Greek Life keeping pace with what students want?
- How does Greek Life align with the college’s antiracism commitment?
- Is the term “Greek Life” broad enough?
- What are the benefits of Greek Life at Colorado College?
- What are the perceptions and realities of Greek Life?
Over the next few blocks, focus groups will be conducted for students, staff, faculty, and alumni, facilitated by Kyndra Wilson ’94, who has worked with us on several focus groups in the past. These groups covered a wide range of topics and have yielded valuable information which shaped the direction of the Butler Center and wellness initiatives, and resulted in the creation of the food pantry, to name just a few results.
Please look for email invitations from Dean of Students/VP for Student Life Rochelle T. Dickey, who is a part of the Greek Life Commission. Anyone interested in participating can reach out to the dean at DeanOfStudents@ColoradoCollege.edu to receive an invitation. Thank you in advance for your participation in these important focus groups.
Kyle Samuel ‘92
Colorado College Board of Trustees
