This past weekend, I, along with five other Bucknell students, traveled to Chicago for a training conference for our sorority positions. We had different training sessions throughout the entire weekend, where we learned about leadership, communication, collaboration, and goal setting. On Saturday, each member was signed up for a specific training track based on their position. I am the Director of Primary Recruitment, so I attended the Recruitment track. I learned a lot about my position and ways to accomplish my goals for this year, however, I realized that while I enjoy the opportunity to be a part of a Greek organization, I was not nearly as passionate about my sorority as other members from different schools and chapters. Their passion and excitement for their position and sorority inspired me to value my position more and find ways to improve Recruitment from past years, and to also find other interests and leadership positions outside of academics and Greek life. I realized that while I may be passionate about fashion, music and traveling, I have never actually pursued these passions. This trip has inspired me to find more classes, subjects, sports, books, and other things I may enjoy, and find a way to incorporate them in my daily life, as it is important to take part in something that I value beyond my academics.
