Inter-Sorority Association
The governing body of the women's fraternal organizations at SUNY Plattsburgh, the Inter-Sorority Association (ISA) consists of two delegates from each sorority and a seven-woman executive board. These officers are elected to one-year terms that run from January to December.
ISA's responsibilities include: representing sorority interests to the rest of the fraternity/sorority community and to the College, coordinating all-sorority and all-campus events (including Fall Fiesta, Spring Fling, Up 'til Dawn, Greek Week, etc.) providing opportunities for leadership development to sorority women, initiating positive public relations, and planning social and community service events for sorority members.
