Michael Lind of NY Kappa Tau becomes RPI’s IFC Executive Vice President

Congratulations to Michael Lind’10 of the NY Kappa Tau Chapter, for being elected Executive Vice President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Interfraternity Council.  On top of being an active member of his fraternity, Michael still has time to actively participate in IFC. 

I recently contacted Michael to ask what his responsibilities are from an IFC stand point and what he hopes to accomplish. 

As Executive Vice President a few of his responsibilities are:
            1. Communications between the IFC and University administration. 
            2. Coordinating all IFC committees.
            3. Acting as the parliamentarian representation of the IFC.
            4. Tracking the progress of and holding accountable all other IFC officers.

While performing these responsibilities Michael also has a few other projects he wishes to accomplish. Such as updating and re-writing portion of the IFC constitution and bylaws to better meet the needs of Fraternities today and to make up for previous officers that did not take their positions seriously. He also hopes to revamp a poorly run RPI Greek Judicial system. 

Michael is also in charge of gathering input from the Greek Community and submitting information to the Dean of Students, whom is also the Dean of Greek Life due to the tough economic times, for RPI's 5-Star accreditation system. When dealing with administration Michael says, "I find it’s important to be pleasant and professional with the administrators."

Lastly once Michael has performed his duties as IFC Executive Vice President he hopes for a smooth transition, "Any successes that my IFC E-board accomplishes this year will be lost without proper transition. We've started already by improving the quality of the minutes, and we're working on ways to improve the usefulness of the Delegates." 

Michael, thank you for your thoughts and we wish you good luck in all your goals. Michael is truly a great example of how you can get involved in IFC to improve, not just your own Chapter's Image, but that of an entire University's Greek Community.
