3 Pitches

Here are three wonderfully creative ideas for my first story assignment in J-305:

1. Greek Centennial week- It is the 100th anniversary of Greek life at Washington State University. For my story I would like to find out exactly what this means for the Greek community. Why is it such a big landmark? What has Panhellenic and IFC done to commemorate the event? Do they feel it will be successful?

2. Project Give: ASWSU has decided to give back to the Pullman community by getting WSU students involved in a campus-wide community service project. I want to find out the exact plans for this project. How do they think they will get students to participate? What makes this community service opportunity so unique? I also want to get the inside story from the new director of philanthropy and community outreach, since last year he was at first denied his position by the ASWSU senate. Now that he has been approved I want to know if it affects what and how he does his job.

3. Rock the CASA: Kappa Alpha Theta holds a benefit concert for their charity, Court Appointed Special Advocates. Last year was the first time holding the concert, and I want to find out what this year will be like. Are the people in charge of it nervous that it won't be as successful? What were some of the challenges of planning it? Why will students enjoy the event?
