This morning's speaker was very inspiring wih his personal story about becoming legally blind, and finding a way to accept that and make his life better.
The first session I went to this morning was about recruitment videos. The speakers talked about the educational and marketing aspect of making recruitment videos. I think it will really help our future recruitment videos and the Membership Recruitment Chair working with the PR chair for next recruitment.
My favorite part of today was the Affilitation lunch where we sat with members of our organization from chapters at other schools. There were about 33 Phi Sigs and they only assigned one table for us with 10 seats, but after 20 minutes everyone was seated. It was interesting talking to the other women about how their chapter is run and different ideas for fundraising and philanthropy events. I met one woman who worked with Jordan Gomes! The world is pretty small sometimes, especially in the greek community.
In the afternoon I attended the session discussing race within your organization and on campus. It is an important issue that should be addressed. We learned that being a non-racist will not end racism, you have to be anti-racist to put an end to racism.
The last session was about new members and how the education process can be improved, and making ritual an important part of your chapter.
It has been a great weekend and I have learned so much. I can't wait to have chapter and share what I learned with other members and Eboard. We already have such a strong Greek community at BSU and we have strong leaders who will help continue to improve it and make it even better because of what we learned this weekend.
