Greek Life and Event Planning

[Jestor]

I've been toying with the idea lately of being an event planner as a career, possibly specializing in weddings or some other type of specific event.

I have the feeling that being Greek and the events of Greek Life will help immensely with this and aid me in building a portfolio.

The question is, how should I go about it? Just volunteer to work on a few events my first year and then ask to head up events my second year?

Or should I shoot straight for heading things up right away?
