FSL Week Committee 

From your PHA President, Cate Billings: Hi all! We will be working on re-creating “Greek Week” or "FSL Week" here at DU! This will be taking place in Spring of 2026 (tentatively Week 7 – May 10-16).

Greek (FSL) Week is a communitywide, week-long series of events that are designed to promote leadership, belonging, philanthropy, and collaboration among all Greek chapters on campus. We will be working together, all three councils, to bring in a speaker, coordinate a philanthropy event, and organize some fun activities to boost communal collaboration.

This is going to be such an awesome event, but we really need your guy’s help in spreading the word to your chapters. We have created a super quick and easy form on the FSL Crimson Connect page and ask that if anyone is interested in helping out that they fill it out. This form is gauging interest for any/all folk from any FSL chapter that would be interested in partaking in this planning process!

THIS IS NOT A COMMITMENT TO THE COMMITTEE!!!!!

We HIGHLY encourage participation from our younger community members as this is an excellent opportunity for them to “dip their toes” into what a leadership role could look like on our campus with very low stakes. We also welcome participation from our older members to serve as representatives for their classes, who can bring more insight into the existing levels of community engagement. Thanks guys!! 

Email Cate Billings at dupha.president@du.edu if you have questions.

Surveys

We want to hear from you on how we can make our community a better place! By participating in the following surveys, we will be able to better identify your needs. 

  • The Student Experience Survey will be emailed out on Sunday, April 13 and will be open on Monday, April 29. Please push your members to fill it out. This data is useful in helping DU know more about your experience and adjust to it as we are able.

  • Julia will be sending out a community needs survey as well. That will go out in the coming weeks and will be open for 30 days. Please push your members to fill it out as well so that FSL can gather its own data to adjust to your needs.
