Personal passions are a good way to continue to motivate
yourself to promote social change within your organization. By being passionate
about something like service for example, when you talk to your chapter about
getting more involved with service they are much more willing to actually do so
because of how passionate you clearly are on the subject. By demonstrating your
passion about something that resonates within your chapter. Not only does this make you feel better because you are
letting others know what you are passionate about, it makes your entire chapter
look at what you are saying in a completely different light.
I have been challenged in a few ways as a leader thus far
even without being officially out into the position as president. One of the
most recent events that challenged me to stay committed to my individual values
happened last night during our second round of elections. During elections I
had to really stick my neck out for a couple of guys running for positions that
I thought were the best fit for where I would like to see my fraternity go.
Unfortunately these guys did not win the positions they were running for and
other brothers beat them out. So this challenged me and has put me in an interesting
position in the sense that I have to really sell the guys who won on my ideas
and where I see this fraternity going during my presidency. I talked briefly
with the two guys who got elected after chapter and filled them both in on
where we need to be headed next year and following this conversation I think
they will both do a fantastic job. I made me actually do something presidential
and made me realize how ready I really am for this position.
