As Greek life picks up at the start of the fall semester, the new director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Shannon Sumerlin wants to turn plans into action.

The university hired Sumerlin in May to supervise the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, the two governing bodies that oversee fraternities and sororities on campus.

Mike Russel, executive director for Student Affairs Administration, wrote in an e-mail that Sumerlin met all and exceeded most of the qualifications for the position.

Sumerlin said that getting hired at TCU was a good fit for her.
