Campus Fraternity Staff - Resources,
not Rivals Jeff Pelletier, Ohio State
University Chapter
Advisor
Like
many of you, I spend much of my free time
working with my local Delta Tau Delta chapter.
I've been with them since their recolonization
seven years ago and have learned as much from
them as (I hope) they've learned from me. In my
"day job," I work at the Ohio State University,
specifically in the Ohio Union in the Office of
Student Life. I've been fortunate to work
alongside the professional staff members who
serve as the advisors and coordinators for our
fraternity and sorority community. My
relationship with those colleagues, by virtue of
my own work, may certainly be an exception, but
it's not impossible for any advisor, and
chapter, to utilize these administrators as a
resource rather than regard them as an obstacle
to be overcome.
My
time with Delt over the last several years has
afforded me the opportunity to network with many
current and former campus administrators, so
rather than simply relate my individual
experience working with the staff at The Ohio
State University, I talked with several others
in these positions to ask how we as a Fraternity
can be the recognized standard in this important
area.
I propose a three-part plan to
improve the relationship between your own Delt
chapter and the campus community you are part
of.
