Chi Psi to Lead Michigan IFC
Thursday, November 15, 2007
The University of Michigan Interfraternity Council, the governing
body of most campus fraternities, elected Chi Psi Jose Nunez as its
next president on 14 November in the Anderson Room of the Michigan
Union (a room named for Chi Psi's John Wendell Anderson, E'90).
He will take office in January and serve for all of the 2008 calendar
year (restoring the IFC presidency to its rightful place, according to
some State Street residents).
Brother Nunez is a political science major who previously held the
position of Vice President of Social Responsibility, setting and
enforcing the social policy that regulates and oversees social events
like parties. He defeated Theta Chi President James Petrila for the
presidency.
The president of the IFC acts as a liaison to the rest of the
campus community and steers the IFC governing board. Most of the
candidates said some of the most important issues facing the incoming
IFC board are raising the social, recruitment and philanthropic
standards for fraternity houses and boosting the image of Greeks on
campus.
In an interview before the elections, Brother Nunez said he'd work
at making the Greek system look better. "Certainly our image within the
community is always something really under attack, and that's something
that I'd like to see change," he said
