The names of students who will

divided greek system will be announced
later this week, the
greek affairs director said.
Two committees will draft a
constitution and make recommendations
for forming a
desegregated greek system, said
director Melody Hokanson, who
will serve as an ex-officio
member on the committees.
One committee will study
fraternities and the other will
study sororities, Hokanson said.
Under the current system,
Panhellenic Association governs
white sororities, Intrafraternity
Council governs white frater
nitics and Pan-Hellenic Council
governs black sororities and
fraternities.
The committees will be working
toward a May 15 deadline to
form the new structure.
"Basically, we're going to
develop a structure for a sorority
council and fraternity council,"
said Jerry Brewer, dean of student
life. Brewer will serve as
chairman of the committees.
"How we'll go about that is

Brewer said the committees

In order to do this, Brewer said
the committees will look at greek
systems at other schools.
"We benefit from the trials
and tribulations other universities
have experienced," Pruitt said.
"We'll see the good and bad
other institutions have tried" in
conducting similar changes.
"It's a wonderful opportunity
for the students to get involved in
a decision-making process,"
Pruitt said. "It's a real compliment
to the student leaders."
