Okay confession time – I am not a political person. Yes I’m
civic-minded and I care what happens to our country and our world, but I’m not
the person campaigning and signing up for political rallies.
However, when April rolls around and I head to Washington, D.C. to meet with
400 fraternity and sorority alumnae and collegiate women and men to storm
Capitol Hill I can’t help but feel the excitement. Some call it the thrill of
the Hill, and I agree. It’s exciting to feel like your voice and your concern
is being heard by someone who could (and should) do something about it. This
year I got to meet Congressman Daniel Weber from my district, and it was an
honor to speak with him about the issues facing sorority women and it
rejuvenated my desire to see the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act
(CHIA) get passed.

You can do your part by contacting your representative using the tools the Fraternal
Government Relations Coalition has prepared, namely the tool to assist you in
creating a letter for your state representative. This tool can be found at www.fgrcgreek.org. Use it, share it with your
friends, tweet your representatives and then tweet them again. Let them know
that we need the CHIA bill to pass.
We
also need everyone to complete this short survey You can begin the survey by
