1. We will have 4 topics to discuss.

b.The Existing Laws on Fraternities and Sororities and the Pros and Cons of Physical Contact
c. 'He ain't heavy, he's my brother,' The Values and Spirituality of Brotherhood
d. The Psychological, Emotional, and Physical Impact of Initiation Rite
Methodology of Presentation.
We have requested competent speakers for every topic and 2 reactors after the presentation of each topic. An open forum will follow after each topic and or at the end of the day, depending on the time availablity.
After all the presentations the delegates will be divided into groups ( take note of the colored sticker in your ID because that is your permanent grouping). Everyone will be given a chance to talk or motivated to share. A facilitator from the Resolutions Committee will handle the groupings. This is a heterogenious grouping. alumni, resident, boys and girls. ( san ka ba?)
From the ouput of the guided sharing are the resolutions we CAN formulate for the betterment of our organizations and the creation of the National Structure of the Alumni Association and the Resident Councils.
2. Presentation of the GE/GLE National Structure.
( this will include Council Members and their Job Descriptions, etc. )
3. Election of Officers.
After which the National Structure is set-up we will now come together to Elect our Officials taking the mandate of the people in this General Assembly.
First, we need to encourage the Presidents of the different Alumni Associations all over the country to come together to compose the Membership of the National Alumni Council. If the president could not make it, he can designate a proxy if the vice is not also coming. For those alumni who has not established their Alumni Association yet, then they can meet on friday evening, time alloted for their local elections, because the national elections is on saturday yet.
for those who have no alumni association and cannot elect on friday the Committee on Resolutions, have resolved during their 2nd meeting in Manila last August 13, 2008 that whosoever is present from that chapter will sit down as the representative of that chapter in the National Council and can vote and be voted upon to the national office. (Majority is not a factor here because we have not accounted our flock ever since ).
The National Council of the Resident Members ( Composition of this are the Grand Archons currently enrolled during the just concluded semester, since this is already the semestral break ) will also be convened and will have a separate elections for their national officers.
Same procedure will be done for the Council of the Grand Lambdas as their counterpart.
SO THEREFORE, I AM PLEADING TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS TO HELP YOUR CHAPTER SEND THESE KEY PEOPLE TO THIS HISTORIC GATHERING. PART OF OUR HISTORY WILL BENCHMARK FROM THIS INTERNATIONAL EVENT.
4. AN INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY NIGHT
