Reflection

"We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, 
it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication,
 self-discipline, and effort." -Jesse Owens

I think that through this experience I have learned that although we may be wearing different letters we all have similar ideals, practices and beliefs. It is nice to know that everyone in this class has gone through similar leadership experiences that I have and if I have yet to experience some situations I feel comfortable in asking for help or advice and applying it to my chapter. 

I think that we have developed respect for one another and it is up to us to continue to foster these relationship and take them back to our houses and chapters and continue to foster them with the other members of our Greek community. Greek Week is the perfect way to begin the change of fostering strong relationships with other chapters. However, it is up to us to keep these relationships strong once this week is over and to begin to form bonds with other chapters we were not paired with. Greek Week is easy. What is hard is continuing to model the way and include all chapters in our commitment to engage the whole Greek community. What comes after Greek Week is effort and dedication. Without effort our newly formed bonds will begin to disintegrate. If we want to leave a legacy we must be dedicated.

We have a common vision: to foster relationships with all members of the greek community. As chapter presidents it is now our opportunity to lead by example and demonstrate to others in our community how much we can truly learn from each other. We must collaborate, and engage for the betterment of our community, campus and nation in order to create a better image for the Greek community across the nation and make our founders proud of what we have accomplished.
