Our Executive Board flew down to Dallas, Texas this past Friday for the annual Alpha Phi Southern Quadrant Leadership Conference. Our girls spent the weekend alongside other Alpha Phi Executive Boards from schools like the University of Alabama, Clemson University, and the University of Kentucky learning how to utilize their positions and exchanging ideas.
Our Alpha Phis split
amongst their specified departments and attended workshops where they were able
to share new ideas and brainstorm on goals for the upcoming year. Each board
member had the opportunity to add her own creativity as well as speak on behalf
of the Omicron Chapter as a whole. They received great critiques and plan
to put the new knowledge in action. Ashtyn Scruggs, the Vice President of
Marketing, said she and other girls in her department focused on philanthropy,
creating a brand, and marketing tactics that will benefit Alpha Phi in the
future.

The Executive Board traveled back with great news and recognition
for our chapter from attending the annual awards banquet at the leadership conference. The Omicron chapter of Alpha Phi proudly received "Excellence in Continuous Open
Bidding", "Most Improved Scholarship" and "Most Improved
Chapter". Most of all, we are excited to have qualified as a top ten
chapter in the Southern Quadrant, otherwise known as the "Order of the
Lamp”. We feel honored to have received these awards and are extremely
proud of the accomplishments made in the past year for Omicron. We would like
to thank our advisors along with our CCA, Nora Baker, and CCM, Jen Ryback, for
their dedication to our chapter.

While the weekend in Dallas seemed to be solely work, the girls still enjoyed being with one another and growing together as an Executive Board. They bonded over ice cream and even a conference-wide pajama party. More importantly, each went beyond their departments and got to know each other better as individuals so that they can truly work together as a team this year. Your Alpha Phi Executive Board plans to keep the momentum up for Omicron in the coming year!
