Executive Council

 

The executive council is the acting legislative body of the fraternity. All positions of this board are made up of current, active brothers. 

Elizabeth Mensing

Regent

The Regent is the leader of our chapter, and is involved in every aspect of our chapter. Their responsibility encompass every major office in the chapter. The regent performs managerial tasks like checking the chapter's email and communicating on behalf of the chapter, however, they also are the face of our chapter. The Regent also runs meetings, communicates with the active brothers of our chapter, helps with our chapter progress report, and organizes all documents for the chapter. Most importantly though, the Regent serves as a resource for mentoring other EC members, brothers, and pledges.
