The greek community will host its annual new member retreat to help break down stereotypes about fraternities and sororities this weekend at Camp Chippewa, west of Ottawa.
"This is so the new pledges don't get misconceptions about other houses," said David Pitler, one of 26 facilitators who will attend the camp. "It's a good
start for freshmen."
Pitler, Wichita sophomore, said the facilitators' duty was to make the attendees comfortable and to serve as a sort of camp counselor. Two facilitators team up — one male and one female — and then are in charge of ten members at the camp.

"We want the new members to know how many opportunities there are for them on campus." Slaughter said.
Some of the activities the campers will hear about include community service.

The campers will also have speakers, such as Al Calarco, a motivational speaker from North Carolina. Slaughter said Calarco would speak about the way the Greek community is changing and how others view participation in the greek system.
The retreat will begin tonight at the Kansas Union. The group will take a bus to the camp tomorrow morning. They will spend tomorrow and Sunday morning at Camp Chippewa before returning to campus.
Social events will follow each session this weekend. Pitler said alcohol would be involved, in accordance with Greek policy.
