I can be the stern figure required to compel brothers into completing their chores or serve fines for damages.

I will assist the Vice President and President with all of their goals including…  Installation of faster internet  Painting lines in the parking lot  Transitioning one of the triples into a sleeping porch My goals include…  Replacement of Hrbek’s window within two weeks of my appointment  Immediately begin negotiating with PMC to get a permanent fix for the leaky roof  Installation of mandatory “Spring cleaning” once-per- term of the basement and other areas prone to extreme clutter  Negotiate with the executive board to purchase a sturdy, playground-grade basketball hoop  Repaint the lines in the basketball court  Involve pledges more in the maintenance of the house, including weeding and trash pickup  Organize the house manager’s closet  Organize the study files room  Paint a six-inch green stripe about 3 feet off the ground along the interior walls  Backlit our letters through the night  Establish more convenient waste management solutions with regards to battery and light bulb disposal and recycling  Obtaining a second bike rack for in front of the house  Repairing non-functioning door into the basement  Repair/replacement of second floor lighting Changes like these would improve the physical appearance of our house greatly, and ideally, keep live-in retention high as well as help reel in recruits. 5.
