Hello,
To go off this, I've had one question since I started on Senate (for those
of you who don't know, I'm filling the 6th spot for fraternity senators and
I just started Monday). Why doesn't the UA have some kind of forum site
where these discussions can take place and be recorded? I know I'm new and
all, so perhaps this has been previously discussed and discarded, but if
someone could enlighten me that'd be great.
Thanks,
Owen Derby
Fraternity Senator
