When do they meet?  

The AGC has endorse meeting three times a year along the following general schedule.

• In conjunction with Beyond the Gates, which is always the first weekend before Easter classes begin in Mid-Janaury
• As part of Alumni Volunteer Weekend, which is usually the first weekend in June
• During homecoming on Saturday morning, which is usually in late October or early November

The next meeting will be on Sunday, January 15, 2012.  The group will begin with breakfast at 9.30 in McClurg and meet until around 1.00 or 1.30, concluding with lunch. 

How does their work relate to the undergraduate chapter?

Alumni representatives are usually chapter advisors or house corporation presidents or simply involved alumni, depending upon the chapter.  While the AGC will meet three times annually, representatives are encouraged to meet with chapters or chapter leaders outside of the formal AGC gatherings.  Their role is to connect with and to communicate with the entire chapter as to the issues considered and decisions made in the Alumni Greek Council gatherings. Most importantly, alumni representatives should mentor undergraduates on leadership, responsibility and accountability.  

What's on the agenda?

The upcoming meetings agenda includes: Shake Day plans and policies, community relations, social host guidelines and house standards (facilities).
