January 4, 2005 To the MIT Community: In September, the report of the Task Force on Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living Groups was released to the MIT community, with a request for reactions and comments. (These comments have been summarized by Task Force co-chair Professor Patrick Winston ’65 in the “Community Comment” section this site.) We are grateful for the many thoughtful responses from across the spectrum of FSILG stakeholders, and are gratified by the broad support for the Task Force recommendations, as well as the interest in working to ensure a strong FSILG community as a critical part of MIT’s residential system. The work of the Task Force is now complete, and we are moving into the implementation stage. Our new president, Susan Hockfield, has expressed her enthusiasm for the recommendations and her confidence that working together, we will indeed achieve our goals. Already, substantial progress has been made on many of the tasks. Here is a sampling:
Steve Immerman will provide the next update on our progress to the MIT community in early June 2005. All of us take this work very seriously. Our goal is nothing less than to make our FSILG system a vibrant part of the best undergraduate residence system in the nation. I look forward to our working together to make all of the recommendations of the Task Force come to life, and to celebrating the talents that each of us brings to the effort. Sincerely, Phillip L.
