Citizenship

Joining a Sorority was one of the greatest decisions I've made since being at OSU. Not just because I've met so many great new people, but also because it's opened me up to SO many great organizations and events throughout the campus. Not only can I meet amazing people in Alpha Gam, but I've also met fabulous people throughout the OSU community.

Being a good citizen means being there for other when they need you to be. Last night, during our chapter meeting, we had elections. It was a tough time for some of my sisters, and yet an incredible success for others. However, we all had to realize there were going to be major changes occuring throughout our chapter within the next year. And we all had to congratulate each other and be proud of each other for our amazing accomplishments. 

To me, being a good citizen means being there when others need you. Thats what Alpha Gam is for me, and thats what I hope to be for others around me.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, good luck on your finals, and have a very safe holiday season!

  1. I really like how you evaluated citizenship on such a small scale instead within a nation or big community like we often think. And I know what you mean as far as elections, it definitely is tough. But hold on to faith that those you elected have the chapter's best interests at heart and if you ever feel they don't, don't be afraid to speak you mind!

  2. Elections are tough and can be awkward in a sorority/fraternity! No one wants to run against their sister/brother, but its important to keep the focus on the chapter as a whole and to not take anything personally.
