Week 8!!! Already? ;-)

First off, I just want to say that this quarter has gone really fast! I can't believe we are a couple of weeks away from spring break! But I guess we say that about every quarter, every month, every season, and every year. Why is that? After one year past we tend to say, "this year went so fast"...lol...just thought that was interesting! But back to the original blog...

What are the strengths of your chapter and in what ways does your chapter need to improve?

 What are the strenghts of your council and in what ways does your council need to change?

What are the strengths of our community and in what ways does our community need to change?

Strengths of my community:

• promotes the importance of education to students
• encourages change
• overall service
• roll models
• diversity

Weaknesses of my community:

• misunderstanding of existance between organizations

• collectively living and expressing our dedication towards our rituals, values and oath

These are the first things that I could think of...but if you notice "the good out ways the bad" and this is always a great thing to notice. As leaders @ The Ohio State University, we are obviously doing something right. No, we are not perfect...everything worth having is worth fighting for. We want a better Greek Community, bond, and involvement amongst eachother...and we are taking steps (such as this class) to make our goals --> accomplishments! I am glad to see the CHANGE we have made thus far. I know that the changes we list previously will shift over to the "Strength" side of the list.
