Greek Advisory Board Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

Greek Activities Board (GAB) aims to stimulate philanthropic & community service efforts for the betterment of the Greek community, Carnegie Mellon campus community, and the Pittsburgh Community. Fundraisers preformed throughout the year generate thousands of dollars for various charitable organizations. Unlike the governing councils (InterFraternity Council and Panhellenic Council), GAB serves as a forum for both fraternities and sororities. As such, one of the purposes of GAB is to bridge that gap, stimulating InterFraternity/Sorority relations and cooperation. GAB is responsible for the planning of an annual Greek Week, as well as fostering positive public relations for the Greek Community. GAB has recently taken on the task of supplying a ‘Greek News’ newsletter, with the hope of properly informing both the Greeks as well as the campus as a whole about the goings on of the Greek community. GAB membership and participation in GAB events is open to all undergraduate students, however only IFC/Panhel/MGC recognized Greek Chapters have voting priviledges.
