Members of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) are showing support for Undergraduate Student Government (USG) President Galen Foulke through a letter distributed to members of the USG Academic Assembly and Senate.

Outgoing IFC President Andy Hackett said Foulke should be supported in his efforts.

Hackett said the IFC understands Foulke's struggle to improve an outdated system.

"We commend Mr. Foulke for his efforts and wish to see his mission continued," the IFC wrote in the letter, distributed Tuesday. "We further hope that the members of the Academic Assembly and the Senate will see the need for this and represent the students by supporting these changes that will allow the organization to serve the students more effectively."

Foulke will face impeachment when USG Academic Assembly and USG Senate meet in a joint session tomorrow.

A two-thirds vote of the joint session is required to remove Foulke from office.

At the IFC President's Council meeting last Monday, Hackett proposed the letter's distribution to the Academic Assembly and Senate members.

IFC chapter representatives passed the idea "overwhelmingly," Hackett said. He put the letter in officials' mailboxes on Tuesday afternoon.

"Since we're going through the same kind of stuff, I felt especially concerned," Hackett said of the IFC's current initiative to improve its reputation through changes in the fraternity system.

IFC President-elect Brian Bertges said change should be welcomed if it is positive.

"Galen's trying to do things for the students, not against them," Bertges said. "I know Galen's in support of the students."

Both Bertges and Hackett said they know Foulke personally, but Hackett said Foulke was not aware the IFC was planning to show its support.

Foulke said he received the IFC's letter Tuesday and was "very appreciative."

"These are students themselves standing up and saying, 'We supported this, we still support this'," Foulke said. "I can't thank the IFC enough for their support and leadership."

He added that the support of students in the IFC is proof that students want the changes to occur.

"The entire fraternity community just stood up and said, 'We're behind it'," Foulke said.

Leslie Hubbard, an Academic Assembly representative, said most students are not aware of the particulars of the case against Foulke.

"People are just saying what they want to say without knowing any of the facts," Hubbard said. She would not comment on whether or not she is in favor of the impeachment.

Hubbard said the controversial impeachment is not a personal issue.

"I just really wish that it didn't become as personal as it has because its really not as it seems," Hubbard said. "And I really can't wait for it all to be over."

Hackett said he thinks it is important for assembly members and senators to do what is best for the students.

"I'm aware we're not the majority, but we do represent over 2,000 students in the IFC that are supporting Galen," he said.
