2011 PAC Dinner Celebrates Fundraising and Lobbying Successes

Event Solidifies That Good Government Needs Greek Leadership!

Former national President of FarmHouse, Congressman Rick Berg (R-ND/FarmHouse).

The fifth annual Fraternity and Sorority PAC (FSPAC) dinner at Art and Soul restaurant was a huge success! In addition to the more than 300 attendees, more than 20 members of Congress attended this event including several freshman members of Congress.

Annually, this event affords our alumni supporters and student leaders the opportunity to become better acquainted with the national leaders that support the FSPAC’s causes. Numerous members of the Senate and Congress addressed the audience. Most spoke of how they benefitted, both personally and professionally, from their undergraduate experiences as members of Greek organizations. Likewise, all spoke of the importance and benefits of our passing the College Housing and Infrastructure Act (CHIA).

James Doughty, an undergraduate member of Sigma Nu at Louisiana State University, said, “The PAC dinner was definitely the highlight of the lobbying trip. Being able to enjoy a wonderful meal and talk with the men and women that are leading our great nation was a wonderful opportunity and experience.” While at a celebration of our 2011 lobbying effort, where we met with more than 400 members and/or their staffs, those in attendance agreed that this event solidified that good government needs Greek leadership!
