We have a lot of women�s programming that happens at Hillel, but not many for guys. Yes, it is hard to target men through programs. What we have found to work, although sadly stereotypical, was to target them through sports, games like poker, and food. Richard and Zack ran a thoroughly successful Texas Hold �Em Tournament, and more than 90% of the people who came were men. I would recommend hosting something similar in the future. Again, I would recommend using the Student Outreach Coordinators to systematically find a way to target this group.

By Greeks I mean members of fraternities and sororities who are Jewish. We do have AEPhi and AEPi on campus, which are considered Jewish interest groups to some extent, however, we have been lacking in program that brings together Jewish students who share the common interest of participating in Greek life on campus. I would recommend using one or more of the Student Outreach Coordinators to systematically figure out how they can target members of the Greek community. I would recommend starting on a personal level by getting members of each of the fraternities and sororities with Jewish students involved with a small planning team, perhaps the Greek-Jewish Council. They could find ways of personally reaching out to the Greek houses, as well as sponsoring inter-house activities for Jewish students.
