When election time comes around we receive a description of what each position entails. Some offices require that the officer be of junior or senior standing and aren't open to new initiates (like New Member Development).

I've only held one official office so far-and that was Social Chair. Let me tell you, it was hard work getting in touch with people! We don't have a house, so naturally we had to find a venue to hold our functions. In addition to that I had to make sure that my Risk Management Forms were taken care of way before the deadline!

But the best part of being social chair was working with different people. I've made a lot of new friends from the other Greeks on campus, and hopefully I helped to strengthen the Greek life on campus.

Right now I'm in limbo. I had thought that I was going to hold an office for next semester, but since some of my sisters didn't quite make the grades we're doing some reorganizing.

I've never been Recruitment Chair and I don't think I'll ever be up to taking up that task. I'll do all I can to help my sorority, but I don't think I'm sane enough to hold that much responsibility.

I served as Pledge Class Music chair and I composed our New Member Song for Fireside, and that was fun. The best part was collecting songs so that us new members could learn it in time. When your chapter doesn't have an official songbook (aside from the one in our manual), it's difficult, but fun, nevertheless.

Good luck and let us know what happens!
