Blog Post # 10


This class has taught me a lot about the things I can do not only for myself to become a better leader but for my chapter’s benefit as a whole. My experience with this class has helped shape my vision for where I want to take my chapter during my presidency. I think that by taking this class I clearly can see now what this fraternity thing is really about. Alpha Tau Omega is a chapter known for building leaders both inside and outside our classrooms and after taking this class I think I can really help the guys in my chapter all become better leaders.
My experience with this class has been nothing but good things; I honestly do not think I would have been elected as the next president if I did not take this class. I have learned many new techniques for next year to also help my executive board share a vision like my own. A few weeks ago we had to come up with personal vision statements in class on the spot with a little time to think about it. Each of us had our own unique way of looking at the things we want to do and I plan on making my executive board do the same thing during our retreat this summer. Additionally I plan on also having each of us write a letter to ourselves about what we plan on not only getting out of this position but have specific things we all individually promise to ourselves to make sure we complete. Without having taken this class I do not think I would be nearly as ready to take office as the president of a fraternity. Every president or candidate should be taking this class.
