At present, there are over 800 colleges and universities that host Greek communities on their campuses. However, there are only a handful of institutions that have invested the necessary resources to create strategic plans for their communities. The Ball State University
Greek Strategic Plan calls for the development of a larger and more vibrant Greek community. Our plan, or road map as I like to think of it, will guide fraternity and sorority men and women at Ball State through 2012.
Too often, goals are outlined and plans are made only to be placed in a filing cabinet somewhere. I can assure you this is not the case with the Greek community strategic plan! The plan was unveiled on March 25, 2007, and work on the 44 action items outlined for implementation during year one began immediately. The stories and information contained in this year one
progress report are just a sampling of the strides we have made over the last year. The efforts of many students, advisors and alumni who served on implementation teams were responsible for making the action items a reality.
By 2012, today’s accomplishments will drastically change the Ball State Greek community. The Greek experience offered to Ball State students will be unmatched. Fraternity men and sorority women will be the strongest leaders at the university and will apply that knowledge to the workforce and their communities upon graduation. Greek alumni will be engaged and connected to Ball State because of their undergraduate experiences. Greek pride and university support will be evident. The progress we are making today will impact Greek men and women for decades to come.
I am interested in your thoughts on our plan and the progress we are making. Please

Sincerely,
