Soror I will tell you more via e-mail and those that care to know more can e-mail me, but I will say that being elected into office makes you more visible and of course gives you more responsibility. I went straight from undergrad to my graduate chapter and Grad chapter is just on a whole 'nother scale!! You can get lost in the grad chapter if you don't make yourself seen. I was hesitant to run, but am glad I did. My age did not hold me back but my experience level was a bit of a hindrance. But as many say no matter how old you are or what your current background is you continue to learn new things about AKA everyday!! I love the opportunity it definitely gave me greater responsibility and defined my AKA life in a greater way; it helped me to serve the chapter on a different level. It also has a great excitement factor, I get excited about being in chapter because 1) I am learning and 2) I am there being proactive not just sitting there. I love my T-SHIRT wearing sorors but if you want to reap the real rewards I say get active and get involved. And on another level when I get on the directorate (yes, I am going there) I can't wait to vote up or down the things that sorors (and all Greeks) just whine about.
Sisterly yours,
LadyAKA
