Question about the VST training...

mu_agd · #1 04-25-2007, 09:07 AM

So greeklawgirl and I have been wondering about this and I figured I'd put it out here to see if any of y'all know the answer:

I noticed the packet didn't say anything about providing sheets, pillows and towels. Does anyone know if this is the case or should I just plan on buying some cheapo sets and bring them with me?

Hey Lynn, thanks... I'm so mad... I was home yesterday and asked the construction guys to move their truck from in front of our box... and they did. So we got our mail for the first time in 4 days... but alas... there was no packet. I'm hoping that they send me one... the website had my address wrong a few months back (right street address, wrong town) but I do get the Q... so i'm hoping that it will be in the mail tonight!!!

Mu_AGD... since it is a dorm room... I'm thinking that it will be B.Y.O.B. (Bring your own bedding).

ETA: I know I have to go to HA but I don't know which other one... I really like recruitment (it is so creative and pref is my favorite night... if I could do it all over again I would have chaired this night in college), finance would be good to have since you all told me that VST need finance people, and I'm active with the alumnae and lord knows we need to work on development... so I don't know which one... we can only choose two????

Yes - there are 2 "Fraternity Topic Workshops" scheduled for Friday afternoon. So, you'll attend one of the available options for each.

I feel like I still need to learn everything, so I don't know what to pick.

Our Finance Advisor is planning to attend also, so she'll be covering Finance and one other. I guess as long as she and I don't duplicate a session, then we'll get the benefit of more information!

P.S. I'm still trying to work out the details of my attendance. I'm certain that I'll attend through Friday - my husband's plans for the golf tournament are progressing more smoothly now, so we'll see about Saturday.

Still nothing... I am going to check the website to see if there is anything on it about it... sorry for the its.

I am so new that I want to learn about everything, I wish there was time to choose more than two. Finance and AD would be more in my realm of AGD but recruitment would be so much fun.

Day 5... still nothing.

I know IHQ is behind on updating information... I would be willing to input some information for them... if they would send me the stuff... I'll do it from home!

I don't know how to scan and email but I can copy and email. PM me your address and I'll send you a copy.

GtownGirl98 · #7 05-03-2007, 08:34 PM

So I got my paperwork today!!! Yeah... so I'll be seeing everyone in June!!!
I listed my 1 as house association and 2 as finance and then recruitment for the fun of it... yeah!!!

Today I filled out the registration form and put it in the envelope.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll actually getting around to mailing the envelope, lol.

AGDLynn · #9 05-14-2007, 06:43 PM

Mailed mine last week!

Arin, this is a dumb question and I'm sure you have already thought of this but here goes: is it possible you haven't received the registration packet because you are not officially appointed to one of the positions below?

o Chapter Advisors
o Finance Advisors
o Recruitment Advisors
o Alumnae Club and Chapter Presidents
o Presidents of Incorporated House Associations

Those volunteers are invited to attend, but those attendees will be responsible for their own travel expenses.

Shot in the dark, I know, but I thought I'd put that out there just in case.

Hey Maria,
It was a good question but no I am the president for Epsilon's HA (at least I just signed my name to a whole bunch of contracts as that). I'm just thinking that IHQ is so far behind on addresses or/and I haven't been on an official report yet... so I'm thinking that that is the reason. I've emailed IHQ but I haven't gotten anything back yet. It's okay... I'm sure it will work itself out. I'm just really excited about this because it will be my first official IHQ trip (I know I'm a dork... I'm okay with it.)

Oh well... I'm not going to be sitting on my computer next week because I'm going to be in Family Mediation Training (so I will have other things to think about) but I hope to hear something before the 15th.

Also, I'll get to finally meet all my GC sisters! Well most of them!

AGDLynn · #12 04-27-2007, 10:36 PM

PM me your address. The deadline is May 15th or you could get in touch with the Epsilon folks and have them make you a copy, lol.

BTW, the Atl. Alumnae Chapter Prez is from Epsilon!

GtownGirl98 · #13 04-27-2007, 10:39 PM

KSP, the CA for E, is going to get me the stuff, but it is just the fact that I didn't get the paperwork in the mail... it is a little sad.

Off topic, but since you mentioned Epsilon's HA I had to share my Epsilon story...

During my sophomore year, 3 of us decided to go visit University of Kentucky for a long weekend to kick off our Spring Break. (Long story short, the 3 of us couldn't afford a whole weekend in an exotic locale like our friends...we were picking up extra shifts at work while everyone else was out of town! Kelly's brother was an SAE at UK. He invited us to visit him for the weekend so that at least we did something for Spring Break...even if it was just a couple of days in Lexington.)

Imagine our surprise when we arrived to discover that he had arranged for us to stay at Epsilon's chapter house for the weekend. When the Epsilon sisters found out that 3 Alpha Gams were visiting for the weekend, they welcomed us with open arms. They gave us a key to the side door for the weekend, so that we could come and go as needed. They invited us to brunch at the chapter house on Sunday morning. It was really amazing - my first experience seeing how sisterhood goes so much deeper than just your own campus!

GtownGirl98 · #15 04-30-2007, 09:04 PM

Yeah E is a special place, that is a true thing.

Another question off topic, how many of you all work with your initiation chapter?
