We had elections a week ago and I got VP: Finance. I'm kind of nervous that I might not do a good job. My big is currently VP Finance and she did an awesome job.

Someone made a statement about not wanting to cause drama in the chapter by opposing (I tried to quote it but my comp's a little slow). Anyway, my question to all of y'all... if someone opposed you, would you be insulted, or would you understand that they just wanted the position? I'm opposing the slate for a position that everyone knew I wanted, and knew I'd be great for, and I'm the only one opposing a VP, but I was trying to think how I'd feel if someone opposed me. I think I'd be kinda hurt... but maybe it would just depend on the circumstance.

Our slate was posted tonight finally and here it goes: I didn't get my top choice of VP: Panhellenic which I am actually happy about because the more I thought about it, the more I felt like the other girls running for the position were more qualified. I wanted honor board but didn't get it. Oh well...Im not too bummed b/c I still could easily get a director position or assistant position. Hopefully I will get a position but IM happy for my big b/c she was posted to be VP: Communication and I think she will be the right person for that job. So Im hoping for a directors position so we will see in a week I guess or later Im not sure. Congrats to all officers so far.

Don't be bummed... I took a directorship that I didn't necessarily want last year, and it turned out to be a big stepping stone for me. And tonight I was elected VP: Panhellenic!:-) Look at where your strengths are. Maybe you'll do best for the chapter in PR or alum relations, if you're interested in VP: Panhellenic? Don't give up hope!:)

hey ladies i just wanted to say congrats to all of you who got positions in your chapters. i am now the new VP: Membership for my chapter and i'm totally psyched! anywho, once again congrats to all you ladies :D

I just found out tonight that I am going to be Director of House Management! I am pretty excited about that!

wow new members in my chapter cant run for anything

wow new members in my chapter cant run for anything, not even director positions..... my chapter stinks

KT, I think these women were initiated sisters at the time of elections.

so were we.........

We weren't allowed to run for VP's until we were members for a year, and weren't allowed to run for president until we sat on CMT (directors or VP's) but it was always my understanding that you WANTED to put new members in smaller directorships so that they could move up the ranks in their time in college, and have time to. Director, then VP, then president. Otherwise, you have a director running for president or a new initiate filling a VP, which tends to tire them out. I think it depends on what kind of situation you're in, though, and what the said vp/directorship is. I have personal beliefs (and maybe this is because I'm biased to this position) that a freshman can't be VP: Panhellenic because they don't know enough "big name" people in greek life, yet. Also, our VP: Panhellenic is in charge of things that the person would have to go through to really understand how they are run/won (*cough cough* Derby Days! Homecoming!!). But from what I understand of other VP: Panhellenics at other schools, it's not as big of a position as it is at ours as far as work load. Does any of that make sense, or is it all just jumble?

oh it makes total sense -- but we still couldnt even be directors -- they said we wouldnt understand how to do it

*BUMP*
 

I'm bumping this thread to see if anyone is running for CMT positions this year...

Once again I'm running for VP Social Standards. Hopefully this year I'll get it... Now I have two years of HB experience under my belt, so...

I'm running for Social Standards, Member Education, Junior and Member at Large for Honor Board, and House Manager. Hopefully I'll get one of them:cool: Good luck to everyone who's running, and Congratualtions to all the women who have gained a position. DO GOOD!:D
ITB,
