Personal values of individual group members can always
change the way the group may look. Take for example one of your chapter’s
seniors has an opinion about how something should be changed and presents it to
the chapter. So based on how the chapter respects the opinion of an older
member such as this they would have a huge influence on the groups values.
Individuals can always contribute to the groups values as
well. For example, if one of the chapters values is to be more involved around
campus and Columbus as a whole then having someone who’s individual value is
one that loves and really enjoys giving back to the community. This one person
can take their individual value and contribute to the overall value by aiding
in community service.
Though it would be easier to be congruent in everything we
do I do not think it is possible to always be a person of congruence. I do not
think you can fit into the mold of every idea people come up with. At some
point you will have to break away and take your own individual stance on an
issue. As presidents we do this on a somewhat regular basis, if it is something
that is for the better of the chapter to disagree about then we have to take
that stance. We are all leaders, leaders do not always have the full support of
every decision they make but when people eventually turn around and realize it
made us a better, strong chapter than it was a success.
