The Inter-Sorority Council and the Multicultural Greek Council recently held elections for their respective executive boards for the upcoming term.
The ISC elected Alexis Tarbet as president, Katie Beyer as vice president of the judiciary, Leah Truitt as vice president of administration and Kendall Galant as vice president of recruitment.
Meanwhile, the MGC elected Chufan Zhai as president, Nathan Park as vice president, Huyen-Trang Thai as treasurer, Esther Na as parliamentarian and Jessica Andrews as representative for the Inter-Greek Council.
Both groups' executive board members will begin their terms next semester.
Tarbet, a third-year Commerce student, emphasized her enthusiasm for the coming year of sorority affairs. "[I'm] really excited and can't wait to see what we're going to bring to the ISC next year," she said.
As for the ISC's goals for the coming year, Tarbet and her board will work with the University's newest chapter, Sigma Delta Tau. "We hope to incorporate them as well as we can and get them excited about being a part of the ISC."
Sarah Feldner, fourth-year Commerce student and current ISC president, said Tarbet is highly qualified for her new position because of her experience as a public relations co-chair and has successfully earned the respect of all the chapters.
"Her expectations are to be open to suggestions and work with chapters and other organizations in the best way she can to make sure that the community is operating smoothly," she said.
Chufan Zhai, a second-year Engineering student, expressed similar excitement for the coming year and said he has several goals for the Greek council.
As president, Zhai hopes to lead the MGC in becoming more involved with University-wide events such as Greek Week, a week celebrated each fall to establish a sense of unity among different Greek councils.
"I will work to increase publicity and internal coherence by bringing members closer together," Zhai said. "Since [the MGC] is pretty small, I want each house to have better interrelationship swith its members and other members of the MGC"
