On Sunday, February 7th, 2010, Kappa Alpha Theta held its annual Chapter Development Day at the Carriage House. Almost all of the chapter’s women were in attendance as well as a representative from the fraternity headquarters.
The objective of this meeting was to review the chapter summary appraisal form and brainstorm the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of the chapter. The chapter broke into groups and created goals for next year that would improve key areas of interest. Furthermore, the chapter placed an emphasis on leadership to the incoming officers in order to outline the expectations and qualities of their positions.
The most important goals of the semester were pinpointed by the officers and clear objectives were established as a guideline to achieve the goals. The officers then broke up into their focus groups and discussed their responsibilities as a whole and individually. Each officer made individual goals to achieve over the upcoming year and presented them to the group for feedback.
The Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta is striving for a wider influence not only in the surrounding community but within the Cornell fraternity and sorority community as well. In April 2010, Iota will also be holding a Spring Ritual Retreat in response to many members at Chapter Development Day wanting to learn more about Theta rituals. This will not only connect the sisters within the chapter but also across the entire nation.
There have been a number of successes this year; however, Kappa Alpha Theta is still looking forward to make improvements and have a wider influence on the Panhellenic community.
