ATTENTION: SOE Updates

The SOE chapter tracker got a face lift this summer! 

We heard your feedback about having a tool that is showcasing what you still need to complete for SOE. Kyle updated this tracker with your feedback, created an easier to use system to see what you have completed, what is in progress, and what has not been started. 

These trackers will be available by the time school begins so there could be a pause over the coming days in access to the SOE folder. We know officers change, so please let your coach knows who needs to see your tracker. 

Fall 2024 Roster Updates

Initial roster udpates are due the first Friday of each semester.
Please update your rosters by Friday, August 30 by 12:00pm (noon). 

Roster Addition Form - To be filled out by the added member

FSL First Year Friday - Icecream Social 

Join us on Friday, September 6 on A-Quad (Slayter 3rd for rain location) to chat with our incoming class of 2028! 

Please note that this is not a tabling event - rather we'd love to see some members wearing letters and speaking with prospective new members!

Space Access

We've already recieved many access requests for students as the move back early to Denison. As a reminder, OFSL does not provide space access to university owned lodge spaces until the first day of class and a complete roster is on file with the office. We use the rosters to give appropriate access.

If you have a specific issue with space, please reach out directly to your chapter coach.
