Discussion Points:

• Bernie reported talking with Megan Jordan George ( Delta Zeta) who organized both previous All Greek Reunions (2010 & 2013). Megan will be re-starting the old Weebly database to give us a head start on organizing. She hopes to be able to join the next Zoom call.
• Some time was spent discussing the previous All Greek reunions, and other reunions that campus has hosted (particularly with Delta Chi).
• We chose a date of May 24th-27th 2024 for the reunion. David will start the ball rolling on reserving that date on campus.
• Accommodations: Will be looking into the cost comparison and availability of rooms in the Living Learning Center, lodges, townhouses, and/or dorms. Plus arranging hotel block pricing. The idea is to offer on campus (no driving) options, plus more family-friendly hotel options.
• Food: Talked about campus-provided and/or catering options. Delta Chi reunion had a positive experience using the conference center for a Mimosa Brunch ($25/head). Campus would also be able to provide a Saturday cookout option.
• Possible Events timeline:
  • Friday night- informal meetup at a local watering hole (similar to previous reunions)
  • Saturday afternoon- campus tours, possible family friendly events/games, group meetups/photos, etc.
  • Saturday early evening- cookout
  • Saturday night-(21+ only) @ Log Cabin, music, refreshments, bonfire/fire pits?
  • Sunday- Mimosa Brunch, any additional group meetups
• Additional topics for continued discussion:
  • We hope to allow pricing per event/day/lodging to allow more flexibility
  • Whether to limit attendance by graduation year. (Pending capacity)
  • Planning more for singles/couples vs. adding family friendly options
  • We’d like to recruit members from all of the current & past UPJ Greek organizations to participate in the planning committee, and a variety of age ranges so the event will appeal to a wide range of participants.
  • We are looking to make this an annual event.
