Greeks in the 118th Congress
Welcome to the latest feature on the FSPAC website—a comprehensive page dedicated to showing the Greek affiliations of members of Congress.
Recruiting More Champions
Getting legislation passed by Congress and enacted into law is a challenging task. The federal law-making process requires time, resources, and a lot of patience. In the 117th Congress, for example, less than nine percent of the 18,000 bills and resolutions introduced became law. While only a small amount of legislation makes it across the finish line, having members of Congress familiar with your issues and willing to champion them on your behalf increases the chances of passage.
Fraternity & Sorority Leaders Take to Congress
On April 19, 53 students and dozens of Greek alumni descended on Washington, D.C. for the annual Fraternal Government Relations Coalition (FGRC) Hill visits. FSPAC joins forces with leaders from the North American Interfraternity Conference, the National Panhellenic Conference and the Fraternity and Sorority Action Fund each year to lobby for congressional support on key issues for Greek organizations. This year, the event focused on increasing awareness in three key areas: freedom of association, stricter anti-hazing laws, and improving collegiate housing.
