Scholarship, scholarship, scholarship!

Hi Friends...

After probably what I would consider the most educational time of my life, the NGLA Greeks are back on campus and I am so happy, no, ECSTATIC I was given this opportunity. Regardless of the fact that my room stayed up until post 3:30 AM and not only traveled back to the Commonwealth (as MB refers to it), but attended my organizations retreat until about 5pm this evening. What a great end to the weekend, spending quality time with my sisters :)

The one thing that I want to examine now that I am back is the Order of Omega chapter here on campus... apparently we may still have an open chapter and I would LOVE to learn more about it and start this up again. It is something that I don't think just individuals can benefit from but also the entire Greek Community because of the endless possibilities that this organization can do.

I specifically want to focus on the Greek's scholarship; maybe because I am a past scholarship chairwoman or my urge to share my knowledge, but I feel that our Greeks could use some more emphasis on our GPAs through all-Greek study hours, Scholarship round tables, Pi Awards, etc. There are endless possibilities to any pillar of Greek life but scholarship is the one pillar to our existence... our organizations emerged from literary societies on campuses where students strive to be better... they are already making themselves better through knowledge... so why not spend sometime focusing on this important pillar of excellence.

I hope you enjoyed all of my blogs these past few days. I encourage any of you to contact me with questions, comments and concerns about any of the sessions or any part of my experience at NGLA!

PEACE LOVE & GREEK LIFE
