Panhellenic Council to hold elections tonight

College juniors Debbie Frank of Sigma Delta Tau and Jen Spadaro of Phi Sigma Sigma will vie for the presidency of Panhellenic Council in elections held tonight. "We need to really assess our role on campus and in the community next semester," said current Panhel President Maureen Hernandez. She said the next president needs to be a spokesperson for the Panhel sororites, work with members of the other Greek organizations, and be able to work with the administration. One goal next semester will be to increase the sororities voice and credibility. "Overall, she needs to be someone who will advocate our mission," she said. Candidates declared their intention to run several weeks ago, and unlike many University organizations, students cannot drop down to lower positions if they lose a race. Therefore, Spadano is also running for ombudsman, along with Wharton junior Sonia Verma of Alpha Phi. College junior Diana Cruz of Chi Omega is the only vice presidential for rush candidate, and will win the spot. Wharton sophomore Tania de Silva of Alpha Phi, College junior Jen Eisenberg of SDT, and Verma are running for vice president of publicity. Competing for the treasurer's position are College sophomore Hadley Freeman of Kappa Alpha Theta and Wharton sophomore Marcie Vu of Kappa Delta. Freeman, de Silvia, College sophomore Juliet Cronin of Chi O, and Karan Kahn of KD, are running for secretary. Each chapter has one vote, and no chapter may have more than one member on the new board, unless it is unavoidable because of limited candidates. The new board will be inducted in February.
