The New Year has already help many exciting things for Alpha
Kappa. Early in the term, Annie and I were able to go the Leadership Convention
in Indianapolis, Indiana where we would meet with other presidents and Chapter
Relations and Standards from all over the country. It was truly an eye opening
experience to how grateful I am to my chapter here at the University of Oregon.
In our small groups, I found myself being able to speak up about not only of
efficient ways our house handles situations but also that I was able to give
solutions to other chapters problems because of the past exec board’s training
and the preparation we had been given in our new positions. 
We are one of the chapters who cares the most. Not
necessarily about winning every single philanthropy event, or being the
“hottest” on campus (even though we definitely work it ;)), but that we care
the most about each other. I can say with all my heart that there is not a girl
in this house that would not look at a fellow member and not as least see a
fellow sister. There is a sense of unity in our house that not only do other
chapters lack, but that other chapters cannot revitalize. We have that spark
that has kept us sane thus far and that bit of logic in the back of our minds
reminding us that what goes on in “sorority life” isn’t always real life. But the people that we are becoming together,
the bonds we are constructing and rebuilding are the realest things we will
ever experience. The convention was a wonderful experience and I received a lot
of insight and training on dealing with sticky situations and dealing with the
overall stress of my position, but definitely the most rewarding thing was
being able to sit down with over 200 other chapters and tell them how proud I
am to be a part of Alpha Kappa chapter.
I am so proud to say that I had two amazing women representing Alpha Chi at Leadership Convention! Thank you both for all the hard work that you do!
LITB,
