Executive Council

Executive Council is composed of nine chapter-elected officers. They are President, Vice President of Member Development, Vice President of Fraternity Development, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Membership, Vice President of Administration, Vice President of Philanthropy, Vice President of Communications, and Vice President of Event Planning. Exec meets every week on Sunday night at 7 PM before scheduled chapter meetings to go over the agendas for the meetings so they run smoothly. The main function of Exec is to act as a steering committee for the chapter meetings and affairs. These meetings are open to any member of the chapter. It is recommended that anyone who has business to discuss during meetings go to Exec meeting the Sunday before the chapter meeting.

All of the women who serve the chapter would appreciate any help and ideas you can give them. If a particular office appeals to you, ask the officer her duties and how you can become an officer assistant. It will help them out and you can learn more about the office.The way to get elected is to get involved.

All officers are elected in November and hold office from January to January, except the House Manager and Transition Officer, who are elected in April and hold office from May to May.
