Officer Positions

sbhill2 · #1 10-27-2002, 12:21 AM

I just thought I would start a thread to see who was running for which officer positions. We just started the election process and Im running for VP Panhellenic as my first choice, 2nd is Honor Board, 3rd is Director Scholarship, 4th is alternate Panhellnic delegate and 5th is House Director. Just curious as to see who else is running for officer positions. Keep us updated as to which position, if any, you get.

hey ladies, I am also running for a position in my chapter. I've been debating about telling people what position i'm running for. Basically, I want people to slate me on what they think I would be best for, not what I told them I wanted. But since no one from my chapter reads these threads then I think I'm safe. haha!
First and foremost I want VP Social Standards. Then 2nd and 3rd i want Honor Board (Junior member/member at large), 4th i put VP Member Ed. and 5th I put either Director of new members or COB. (i don't remember). I really want my first choice. I am on Honor board now and I love it. Good luck to anyone else who is running. Keep us posted.

VP: Panhell is my first choice. I've thought about a couple of other things, but I'll keep those secret for now.

I agree, I think that people should be slated based on who the chapter thinks is the best for whichever position, not who talks themself up enough to get slated. That's what the point of challenging is.

I'm currently director of house management.

sbhill, you were just initiated, right? I'd suggest not taking a VP right away because sometimes that burns people out really fast. It's up to you, of course, but especially with something like Panhell, which means being at two weekly meetings and every greek life event, it can get exhausting. Can I suggest instead if you run for a VP doing something like Communications? It's still a fairly heavy workload, but it might not burn you out as quick. Just suggestions, since I don't know you. Do what's best for you.

We just actually held our nominating committie, which i was on, and even though i was running for VP:Membership, i was slated into VP:Panhellenic. Our president had talked to me about this position before and she has big plans for me in this position. What all does panhellenic do at your all's schools? Also for someone else who has had a panhellenic position, how does the Executive Committees work?

I just wanted to update y'all...
I have decided to place president as first. The deal is, my best friend may be running, too, but I don't think she really wants it... she's just gotten some pressure to do it. If she gets slated than I won't challenge it, but we'll just have to see what happens...

VP: Panhell at my school is a very fun position. They make sure that the chapter knows about every greek event that happens. They head up homecoming, go to SEPC, and go to sorority council every week. They also are over intramurals and public relations directorships. It's one of those positions that you have to be willing to do everything that comes up, but it seems like a lot of fun to me. It's now my second choice.

I ended up getting Director of E-Communication for those that knew I had run for it. It's a little different with a colony but we have our officers all decided upon. I'll post the offical link to our new web page once we become a chapter!! It's coming up so soon - November 17th!!!

Hey everyone!
I'm a new sister (one week this saturday!) and so there are some offices I can't (and don't want to) hold *IE, President*. I would love to have an office though, and being as we have a reasonably small chapter (approx 30 sisters) *some of which are graduating this semester* I'll probably hold an office. I really want new member education, membership or communications. I think those would be fun to start with. Or maybe dir or rituals, although that would be kind of stressful.

DeltaGammaStar · #10 11-05-2002, 11:42 AM

Just to let ya'll know, we voted on our slate last night and I am now our VP: Membership Education!

Go me!

As a side note, one of my big sisters is currently our President (actually, she is techinically still our chapter's first President since we got our charter last year) and my other big sister was slated for President for next year! How cool is that!

Maybe I'll go for Pres next year....

I'm a sophomore, and just found out today I was elected to director of alumnae relations. Woo hoo! I'm excited

I currently director of correspondence, so it's sort of along the same lines as that. Congrats to everyone with new positions, and good luck to those still running.
TDH forever!

hey guys,
I ended up getting my second choice of Honor Board Junior member. I'm okay not getting my first choice, because I still get to be on Honor Board. Some of my sisters approched me and tried to encourage me to contest the slate, but I didn't want to cause drama within the chapter. The fact that some people thought that I would do a better job than the person who was slated ment so much to me. Like I said earlier, just wanted people to put me down because they thought I would do good (excuse the pun) in the position. The faith that my sisters have in me means so much more than the position ever could.

DG515 · #13 11-11-2002, 02:18 AM

I just thought I'd update ya'll....we had elections tonight and I'm this years VP Communications....I'm really excited and my big annouced how proud she was to have me following in her footsteps (she's current VP Communications). I'm really excited! Now the hard part......transistion and learning all there is to learn. Good Luck fellow new office holders!
ITB,

Hi

I am a newbie to this forum!

With that being said - we just got our new slate tonight! I got my 1st choice: Director of E-communications. I'm really excited about this because I have so many great ideas about the website.

This is also a new position in our chapter - it was all on the VP of communications, but this will lighten the load for her.

We just had elections last night and I was elected as VP Membership for next year. I'm excited even though I didn't get my top choice (President) but I have some awesome ideas for recruitment and I can't wait to get started!!!
