The Inter-Fraternity Council elected the remainder of its Governing Board officials last night, completing its elections for the 2008-2009 term.
Joining the Governing Board will be second-year Engineering student Matt Hanna as? chairman for housing and physical development, second-year College student Charles Gamper as? chairman for membership education, third-year Engineering student Sean Fillion as? chairman for community service and third-year College student Hal Turner as chairman for inter-Greek relations. Additionally, third-year College student Jack Barnes will serve as public relations spokesman and second-year College student Lincoln Foran will serve as chairman for faculty relations and scholarship?. Second-year College student John Carrington was elected? chairman for diversity outreach along with second-year College student Buddy Gray as? chairman for alumni relations and second-year College student Brandon Barksdale? as chairman for publications.
Third-year College student Taylor Richardson, who was elected to the position of IFC president last week, said although the newly-elected members are newcomers to the IFC, each is very active within his own fraternity chapter and various organizations around Grounds, citing specifically the Inter-Fraternity Council Judiciary Committee, the Honor Committee, the University Judiciary Committee and Sustained Dialogue.
