Just curious--How are chapter presidents selected?

[jordang312]

Hello! My question is a pretty simple one. I know that each sorority has different values or ideals of what a chapter president should be. I was wondering what the values of this person are? Or should embody? I realize that you can be president for a period of time before another girl takes your place. How is this done? Is anyone ever asked to step down? Does the girl know she's in the running to be president? Or does the chapter vote her to do it without her knowledge? I don't know if it's bad form to ask this. I'm just curious as to "slating" and how it's done. I realize there are other operations in a sorority that are equally important (i.e. Recruitment Chair, VP of Membership, etc.) I feel like it'd be such a huge honor to be any of these. Thanks!
