Two governing bodies of Greek life on campus have elected their next leaders.
Last week, fraternity chapter presidents and sorority chapter delegates elected the 2013 presidents for the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council, respectively.
Peter Blumberg was voted president-elect of the IFC on Nov. 11. On Nov. 14, Panhellenic Council members voted Rachel Brown president-elect for their next term.
Blumberg, who is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and vice president of events for the IFC executive board, became interested in running for president after serving on the board this semester, he said.
“I take a lot of pride in the Greek community,” Blumberg said.
Blumberg will take over after a semester that saw nine fraternity hazing investigations at one time, and Nick Gratto, a fellow member of Lambda Chi Alpha, said Blumberg will focus on improving fraternities’ reputations.
“He definitely wanted to make sure to clean up the images of fraternities from the last 12 months with the hazing allegations.”
Jack Partain, current president, said the position is a huge time commitment and requires good leadership, but he’s excited about Blumberg being president.
“You have to be strong and stand by your decisions,” he said.
