so, i am running for president this sunday. quite frankly, i am the underdog. plus, i wasn't slated this past sunday.
i need a speech for this sunday. badly. more importantly, i need a brief but powerful introduction and a conclusion! if anyone can help, i would appreciate it.
OR if you want to improve on what i have so far, go ahead! i want to say something like:
"any organization is only as strong as it's members. it's members are only as strong as it's leadership. we are known on campus for being smart, active, fun, but above all strong. we are a force to be rekoned with . . . "
and then i really want to say something along the lines of "and so am i!" but saying it that bluntly that doesn't seem right. my "campaign" is that i am a strong person who is 110% alpha phi (that BLEEDS silver and bordeaux) and that those two things, coupled with all that i am planning on doing for the sorority, will make me a good leader. i believe i am strong because my blood little sister wasn't invited to pref night and i wasn't any less of a member for it, plus i had to deal with a psycho lil sis that tried to get me kicked out of school (LONG story--we will just leave it at that). i want to say something about those two things because i was a really brave and level-headed person through it all. i also want to say that i did all my jobs this year while maintaining an honor's level GPA (and even raising it), taking 18 and 20 credit hours respectively, working a difficult part-time job, and still being the most active in a-phi that i have ever been.
also i want to say something about the improvements i want to make. so far i really want exec. board to be more functional (meaning VP's actually MEET with the people they are under as often as possible--communication needs to be improved), i want to try and improve sisterhood (there is a "gap" that exists--i want to close it if i can), i want to try a "point system" to improve attendance to events and sisterhood, and finally i really want the sorority to be more democratic--give sisters more of a say in what exec. board decides about them!
also, i have been around 3.5 years and i want to say something about how i have done it all at least three, sometimes 4, times. unless you all think that sounds crappy and concieted, in which case i won't say it.
and basically i want to say a LOT more, but i am not sure i can fit it all into 1-2 minutes! so i am stressing. anyone that can help me would be literally my life saver . . . to be honest, i really i don't think i will get this position, but i am sure as heck not giving up!
