Outstanding Member Education Program

Purpose: To recognize individual chapters that have shown a commitment to an outstanding educational program(s).  Examples of educational programs can include, but are not limited to, new member education, member education, various workshops, risk management presentations, or diversity programming.  One chapter will be chosen from the Greek Community, if organizations meet the eligibility.

The 2008 recipient, Sigma Kappa, has taken great strides to educate the chapter not just on resumes, or study habits, but on responsibility. The chapter recognized a potential weakness of having officers that had never held a position before, and turned it into a strengthening experience. Through a fun and interactive program, officers researched their positions and then presented the chapter with their duties and goals. The program was a huge success, raised chapter knowledge of which officers to turn to, and increased the chapter’s enthusiasm toward taking leadership positions.
