As the summer draws to a close, it's time to begin preparing for the upcoming year of the Phoenix Panhellenic Association!
Our first meeting will be at 7 PM on Monday, September 10th. We have many items to discuss so I am encouraging all delegates to be present. As with all of our meetings, if the delegate is unable to attend, the alternate should be present to represent her sorority's alumnae group. Please keep in mind the bylaws in regards to attendance:
| Standing Rule #9 -
|
An inquiry will be made to any member fraternity having three absences in a fiscal year.
|
|
| Standing Rule #11 -
|
An Active Member Fraternity in good standing attends at least 6 of the 9 meetings or loses the privilege of participating in the Woman of the Year Award and the Continuing Education Scholarship Program.

Each delegate has been assigned to one of our standing committees. Being part of that committee requires the delegate to attend meetings for that committee, as well as, participate in the activities of that committee. At the first meeting each chairwoman will give a brief overview of her committee and key dates of items that need to be accomplished.

Your group's Treasurer will be receiving a Dues Payment sheet from the Phoenix Panhellenic Treasurer, Audrey Stewart. The annual dues are based upon your group's dues paying membership roster for the preceding calendar year.
I would like to call your attention to our main Fundraiser for the year, which is the FBR Open. Each year, Phoenix Panhellenic Association provides over 1,000 volunteers for the FBR Open. In return for our efforts, the Thunderbird Association provides us with a sizable donation, which we, in turn, give as scholarships. This year, we have a special challenge in that the Super Bowl is on the same Sunday as the final day of the FBR Open. I am asking for your help in recruiting volunteers this year, through your alumnae groups, friends, family, etc. There will be sign-up forms on our website: www.phoenixpanhellenic.org. Please help us make this year the best ever!
Phoenix Panhellenic Association's Annual Awards Dinner in May honors those scholarship recipients, both collegiate and Continuing Education, as well as, our own Woman of the Year. I would like you to encourage your members to apply for Continuing Education Scholarships and the Woman of the Year Award.
I feel incredibly honored to be your president for the 2007-2008 year. I deeply appreciate the commitment each of you makes to the Phoenix Panhellenic Association. I am looking forward to a productive, successful AND fun year! Please call me if I can be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
Tracy Roberts
Phoenix Panhellenic President 2007-2008
