Recruitment
Dear Potential New Members,
Congratulations on your acceptance to Texas State University—San
Marcos! I hope you are as excited as we are about the upcoming
Spring 2007Semester. Greek Life at Texas State is stronger
than ever and we are encouraging you to be apart of it. Members
of the Greek organizations are weaved into almost every possible
aspect of college life here at Texas State, including student
government, the athletics department, and the exclusive deans
list. Greek leaders at Texas State strive to be the best
in every field of study and activity.
Academics are the most important aspect of each fraternal
organization on campus. After all, the primary purpose for
attending a university is to further ones education. The IFC
has created an incredible new Academic Advising Program to
match a faculty/staff member with a fraternity to assist in
their academic needs and success. Though grades have been
a challenge in the past, the fraternities are acting to influence
the present and future!
Community Service and Philanthropy are also a major component
of how Greek life is represented here in San Marcos. Every
organization has at least one and in most cases many organizations
that they work with that assist in creating a better community
locally as well as nation wide. Just this past year the Greek
community provided more hours of service and more financial
assistance than any other student organization on campus combined.
This goes to show we don't just talk about serving others
we act!
By joining a fraternal organization, you will be participating
in an honored tradition that has been taking place on campuses
all over the country for over two centuries. You will be involved
in life changing experiences, along with making life long
friendships. Personally, joining a fraternity was the best
decision I could have made coming to college. It has given
me a better understand of responsibility, along with an improved
grasp of time management. I have learned how to respect and
work well with others. Finally, I have grown up more in my
first semester as a member of a fraternal organization than
I did in four years of high school.
If you are looking for a great college experience, as well
as a way to improve your grades, and make lifelong friendships,
I encourage you to go through the recruitment program with
the IFC at Texas State. Remember, with just one registration
form, an envelope and a stamp you can open the door to a new
a defining chapter in your life! Please feel free to seek
me out when you come for Orientation or Paws Preview in the
IFC Office, 4th Floor, LBJ Student Center. You can also call
me at 512-245-1635 or email me at ifc@txstate.edu for more
information.
Sincerely,
Rick Spomer
Vice President of Recruitment
