Harvesting Help is a food justice event scheduled on November 4th from 10am-1:30pm. We will be repackaging rice and beans, listening to a food justice speaker over lunch and finish the day by going out and helping the local community. This event is through the Chapel, and the Multifaith Ambassador Program, but we want your help! If you would like to collaborate on this event, please e-mail me back no later than September 27th and we can begin scheduling a planning meeting. Collaborating on this event means committing to having someone participate in planning meetings, having 10% of your members participate and help with the advertisement of this event.

Taylor Williams
Hello Brothers! I would like to request associate status for this semester. This semester is my most stressful semester at IWU. You may not know this, but I am graduating in three years, making this my "senior" year. Due to early graduation, I am forced to take prerequisite classes along with the class that requires said prerequisite. Therefore, I am behind in my class and am needing to spend much more time than usual preparing for my class, therefore, leaving less time for extracurricular activities. If given associate status, I would still try my best to come to all the Chapter meetings that I can, and participate in as many leadership, fellowship, fundraising, and service events that I can. I worry if I am not granted associate status I will not be able to meet the requirements a standard active member must meet. Thank you for understanding, Taylor Williams

I'm writing to request to go associate. In addition to my course load, I am the president of Global Brigades and am currently really busy recruiting, fundraising and involved with conference meetings with advisors at GB. In addition to that, I am also working 20+ hours a week as a pharmacy technician, which also prevents me to attending chapter meetings at 7pm
Kirstyn Petersen
I would like to associate for the semester because I am taking a class at Heartland in addition to a full course load here at IWU. Additionally I will need to dedicate a lot of time to studying for the CPA exam since I will be graduating in December.
