The position of Panhellenic President at Kettering University plays an important role in sorority life by uniting the two chapters here on campus. The president should be able to maintain a neutral and supportive stance on all topics to create a productive counsel. I feel I could play this part to support Sorority Greek life based on my previous positions on campus. As a member of ASA I am currently acting as Standards chair, as part of this role I act as a mediator for concerns within the chapter and determine positive outlets to resolve those concerns. I believe these skills I have learned will aid in my ability to support the council. I have been a member of the Panhel counsel for the past two years and am very familiar with its operations.

The Chi Omega sorority is one of nine sororities at our university and nationally is the largest women 's fraternal organization in the world with over 330,000 initiates and 179 collegiate chapters.

Members are confident in their ability to operate independently with
From the moment the new chapter is established, we expect the charter members to uphold the values and mission of our organization. All charter members will be expected to complete the New Member Experience in order to be Initiated. This is the same requirement for all new members across the entire organization. From the beginning, charter members are assigned to various committees so they begin to understand chapter operations and officer responsibilities. The committee system ensures all chapter members have a voice and the opportunity to contribute to chapter operations. Prior to Installation, charter members are expected to hold officer elections. This is an important first step to becoming a self-governing chapter. Following Installation, the chapter is expected to work with the two resident Chapter Consultants, local advisers and the rest of the New Chapter Support Team to execute the Five-Year New Chapter Support Plan to become a fully functioning chapter. 6.

Jenn McCabe is a motivational advisor who cares about the professional and personal development of the chapter officers and members. She was on a family leave of absence for eight weeks and still made it to all of our chapter meeting and events.

These team-building activities have given the officer team the opportunity to share the skills they learned with our members as well as planning and facilitating the Michigan Region
