Greetings from your Grand Vice President for Collegiates!
It is hard to believe that the fall semester is coming to a close! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was meeting new lambs and visiting with Sisters at Convention in St. Louis. Convention always has a way of renewing my LKS spirit each year, and I want to thank all attendees for making the event so special. We had such a great time connecting with each other and learning about ways to strengthen and grow our chapters. We also had some good old fashioned "lambtastic" fun!
I want to personally congratulate all of our chapters on a successful 2014-2015 school year and highlight our chapters who were recognized for Chapter of the Year and Region Chapter of the Year at Convention:
Lambda Kappa Sigma Chapter of the Year 1st Place: Alpha Beta Chapter 2nd Place: Alpha Zeta Chapter 3rd Place: Xi Chapter
Lambda Kappa Sigma Region Chapter of the Year Northern New England: Alpha Rho Eastern Atlantic: Alpha Pi Northeastern: Delta Mid-Atlantic: Alpha Phi Northern Lakes: Alpha Omicron Midwestern: Alpha Iota Southern: Alpha Kappa Western: Lambda
As you move forward with the semester, always remember that you can contact your Region Supervisors for assistance. If you have any questions or need suggestions on anything from how to improve your Chapter of the Year standing or how to better manage your chapter, we are all here for you.
Fall is also a time of year where I incorporate a number of personal traditions, such as visiting an apple orchard, running in fall races and taking a trip to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin for my porch! As a collegiate chapter member, Founder's Day was one of my favorite collegiate chapter traditions and a time to honor our Founder, Ethel J Heath, and charter member of LKS. I hope your chapters were able to celebrate this important date in Fraternity history. Perhaps you have created additional fall chapter traditions and events that highlight the LKS Core Values of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Sisterhood and Integrity.
What are your favorite chapter traditions and how do they incorporate the LKS Core Values? Please email me at [email protected] and share your ideas so that we can share with all chapters! |
