Personal Vision Statement

I decided to run for president of Alpha Chi Omega because I saw that it was finally time for change in our chapter. Our sisterhood had been struggling for a few years, there had been several instances of risky behavior, and the members were losing sight of what the organization truly stood for. Members were not excited to come to chapter meetings and purposely scheduled classes for an excuse to not attend. My personal mission statement is to begin to transform the chapter into a values based organization by demonstrating sisterhood and and promoting the standards that we all stand for. My experience in Alpha Chi as a new member was not as strong and meaningful as I would have liked it to be. I could tell that there was a lot of animosity in the chapter, and I often questioned if I joined the right chapter. However, within the past year, I have grown incredibly by being a member of Alpha Chi, and my main mission is to give that back by being a strong role model and resource to our members. I think my biggest strength and weakness in being president is that I have developed several strong relationships in the chapter. This is a strength because I can get members to listen to me, respect me, and take me seriously. However, sometimes people try and walk over me when decisions do not go in their favor. My strongest amibition for the chapter is for members to graduate and feel that they have truly left a better, stronger woman because of Alpha Chi Omega. Personal development and sisterhood for the members is my biggest priority as a leader.
