Greek Newsletter
The Greek Life office is now using a new platform for the weekly newsletter. We strive everyday to improve our presence here on Bradley's campus. To do that we ask that chapters forward information on a weekly basis that they would like to include in the newsletter. We ask that you send us information about events you are hosting on campus, philanthropy weeks, or progress that your chapter is having. For example:
- Delta Tau Delta raising just shy of $3,000 this past weekend through their first ever Dueling Pianos event and dinner auction at Alexanders. Delta Tau Delta also had 67 members registered to volunteer in the JDRF walk on October 4th.
We would like to highlight all chapters however we can, with the goal of improving our our presence on campus. Anything you would like to be provided in the weekly issues of the Greek Newsletter can be sent to: zevans@mail.bradley.edu or bradleygreeks@gmail.com.
