March 25, 2007 - a truly exciting day for the entire Ball State Greek community! That was the day that the Ball State University Greek Strategic Plan was unveiled. The work of 21 individuals, lots of community feedback and 370 days of planning was presented to over 100 students, alumni and university administrators.
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."
The plan focuses on a wide variety of areas including academics, alumni involvement, chapter achievement, housing, leadership and membership development, recruitment and expansion, marketing, risk reduction, community values and strengthening partnerships.
