Speeches
Nova – Something that has been interesting for me is being a part of two committees this semester. Being in both Records and Brotherhood has shown me how truly different both committees are, and shown me how integral each part is to the whole. I think that being a part of every committee and being able to make sure that all of our parts are working together in harmony, would be extremely beneficial for the chapter and propel us forward into our future.
Parker – Hello, My name is Parker Wilkie I am running for the position of Parliamentarian. Because I believe I can help out many of the people who are taking on roles for the first time. I may not be too experienced myself but I know how to set up events, how eboard meetings are structured, and have been in the fraternity long enough to know the annual events held within the chapter. All of this information will allow me to be of use to as many as I can. I am good with people and am very understanding when people are frustrated so I believe I am a good mediator. I will do the best of my ability to uphold my duties if I am chosen to be parliamentarian. Thank you for your time.
