Take Note
What you'll need:
To me, leadership in a sorority must start with caring. Like, caring about someone enough to hold them accountable because you want them to be better or you know that they are better than their mistake. Caring enough that even when you’re annoyed or frustrated with a member you still decide to help when they’re in need. Caring enough about the future of the organization that you don’t take what’s in front of you for granted and mistreat it. Caring enough to show up, step up, step in and engage in conversations that are needed. Caring enough about the experiences and needs of others and not just prioritizing your own. That’s what sorority is about. That’s what leadership is about. That’s what responsibility is about. Hailey hosted three workshops in 2023 – “Belonging/Inclusion,” “Identity as an Iceberg” and “Supporting the Chapter with DEI.” She will continue this series in 2024 with two more workshops this spring. The first, titled “Show Me Your Practices & I Will Verify Your Policies,” will take place at 7 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. In this collegiate and advisor conversation, attendees will think about policies and practices in the chapter through a DEI lens and reflect on if their daily operations are effective in this effort. The second installment will take place at 7 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and is titled “Equity: The Forgotten Piece of DEI.” This conversation is for advisors and collegians where they will dive deep into what equity means and the role it plays in DEI efforts. During the discussion, Hailey will talk about ways to remove barriers to access from everyday chapter operations.
