Membership: (3 co-chairs) This committee takes care of both the fall and spring membership drives. Responsibilities include getting out applications, setting up interviews, and reviewing the applicants. This committee will be especially important in the spring, as we will be working hard to get new members in time for the conference (February 27 - March 1).

Homecoming: (1 additional co-chair, 2-3 member committee) Ali Carrigan and Curtis Finnegan are already in-line to head this committee, but we need one more soon-to-be sophomore or junior to help out as well as some committee members. All the work for this committee is done in the early fall. It involves working closely with the alumni committee that organizes homecoming, as well as planning the dance and leading the dips.

Publicity, Spirit, and Fundraising: (3 co-chairs) this year we have decided to combine a few committees - this is one of them! The publicity, spirit, and fundraising committee will be in charge of the regular publicity kind of things (advertising, sign-making, etc.) as well as putting together some of the desperately-needed fundraisers that we have in the works for next year.

Newsletter: (2 co-chairs) This project has been very successful in the last few years, and we want to see the good work kept up! The annual newsletter keeps tabs on what the dips are up to through the year, and the mailing goes to all former Diplomats. The majority of this work really falls in the spring semester, but if you can keep organized through out the year you can save a lot of time.

Faculty Appreciation/Senior Brunch: (2 co-chairs) This is another of our new combined committees. Co-chairs will be in charge of finding a date for and setting up the faculty appreciation receptions in the fall and in the spring (provided we can still get funds from SGA) as well as helping out the new alumni director in the planning and day-of responsibilities of the Senior brunch.

Oozeball: (2 co-chairs, 2 committee members) This committee takes care of all the details for the annual romp in the mud. Responsibilities include singing-up and registering teams, getting the mud, organizing the dips, tee shirts, and all the other fun things that make Oozeball such a success.

Alumni Weekend: (2 co-chairs) Like Homecoming, these co-chairs work closely with the alumni committee that plans the annual alumni weekend. The majority of the work for this committee takes place in the spring semester.

Senior Grad Dinner: (3 co-chairs - no soon to be seniors!!!) This committee makes all the secret plans for the senior mystery dinner. Responsibilities include making the arrangements for the location, the entertainment, and the transportation - and after you plan it, you get to go, too!

District Conference Committee: This is going to be the biggest responsibility of them all, so signing up means you are ready to make a commitment. We have already compared this committee to Steering Committee for Orientation, if that tells you what we mean. We realize that since most of you have never attended conference it is hard for you to know what this will entail, but we will hopefully be getting some video from Shippensburg from this year's conference. And if you didn't hear already how much fun we had down there…

The core committee will be headed by the conference co-chairs - Tricha, Dawn, and Daphne. On the next level will be six committees, each one in charge of different responsibilities for the weekend (accommodations, communications, registration, sessions, social events, and sponsorship). Finally, there will be 2-3 additional members on each committee. And this is just be fore the conference!! Of course, everyone will be involved when the weekend gets here. If you are interested in working through the planning stages of the conference (it looks great on a resume, too!), please contact us at 610-921-7847.
