Copies of the two new recruitment brochures were distributed. One is for parents entitled ”Parents, Has Time Snuck Up on You?” and the other is for students entitled “Students, The Time Has Come.”
The Greek Experience Survey report will be finalized in August. The national organizations will receive an overall report. The chapters will receive an overall report and an individual chapter report.
UGPB (formerly Greek Action Council) will celebrate its 10th anniversary July 2007. Lynn recommended that
MGAP

MGAP
Membership:
· For Alumni Involvement we have developed a plan and will add the GAC/UGPB 10th anniversary in 2007.
· We have a Happy Hour scheduled for July 20 at Fletchers. We will do name tags and have balloons or banners so Greeks can find us. (This event was later cancelled.)
· Lynn and Brett are working on the House Corporation list serve.
· The 2006-2007 dues mailing will be done in mid August. There were several suggestions about the mailing and how many different versions would be written.
· We need to create a list of houses and contacts for the University. With the dues mailing we can send a response sheet for the names of house corporation members.
Minneapolis Boarding Ordinance Change:
The ordinance changes being proposed for sororities and fraternities will combine lodging fees and the fees will go up. This is the primary issue for us. There is also a proposed change about people per sink/shower head being lowered from 1 for 12 people to 1 for 10 people. We have no issue with that proposed ordinance change.
We had a meeting with Cam Gordon about our issues with the newly-proposed ordinance changes. We did bring up the 1999 ordinances and our need to get them changed. On June 21 at 1:30 pm there will be a meeting of the Public Safety and Regulatory Services Committee. Rick distributed the 1999 ordinance 536.20 and our changes proposed in 2003.
