A student creed would be created by the Intercom committee to set behavior expectations and to help students fulfill the TCU experience, according to an email sent by Student Body President Brent Folan.
Folan described the Intercom committee as “a committee of presidents and representatives from a wide variety of organizations.”
Parts of the Panhellenic Creed will be shared with the Intercom committee to help build the student creed, Panhellenic President Lisa Allen said during the Wednesday Panhellenic Council meeting.
Allen said she attended a meeting about the student creed along with members of the Intercom committee.
The Panhellenic values would be presented to Intercom, Allen said. The Panhellenic members agreed with Allen’s decision.
The Panhellenic values included scholarship, health and standards, service, friendship, character, respect and helpfulness, Allen said.
Nutrition workshop
Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta and Delta Gamma also announced an upcoming nutrition workshop event for Greek organization members to attend at the meeting. Through the event, sororities would help raise awareness about eating disorders, she said.
Many students know someone who had been affected by an eating disorder, junior strategic communication major Lauren Poey said. She said she knew people from high school, as well as college who had battled an eating disorder.
Sophomore Rachel Moss said she thought the event would be important to educate both women and men about eating disorders.
The event will provide information about what the disorder looks like, how the disorder affects the body and how to approach someone with an eating disorder, Moss said. Being there for the person suffering from a disorder as well as the best treatment plans will be discussed at the event.
“[Eating disorders are] definitely a big problem at TCU, apparently we have the biggest percentages of eating disorders on a college campus,” Poey said.
Theta members Moss and Poey said they thought the event would take place at a good time because spring break is about two weeks away.
Moss and Poey said they knew people affected by the disease but did not know what to do to help. Moss said she wished she had the tools to help, and topics such as this should be discussed at the event.
Moss said she wanted to say something to her friends who were affected by the disease but she did not know how. It is important to say something to the affected person and let the person know there are people who want to help, she said.
“You don’t want it to get bad enough to where they have to go to the hospital,” Moss said.
Poey said the event will educate people and elaborate on “how to eat healthy, how to eat right, how to workout maintaining a healthy body image and feeling good about themselves.”
The event will be Tuesday, March 6 at 8:30 p.m. in the BLUU Ballroom.
