Adelphean Compass- Leading with Vision


Pi Pi ADPi, Like it Love It ADPi

Chanted in unison by every chapter president who was attending the Leading with Vision session of Adelphean Compass.

The session, facilitated by Dawn Victor-Herring and Tracy Carson, explored the creation of a vision that chapter presidents will create not only for themselves as leaders but also for their respective chapters.

Before the facilitators talked about creating a vision, they touched back on some of the lessons learned in the previous sessions. Chapter presidents introduced themselves among their table mates and discussed what it meant to lead with vision.

Maureen Orth, Alpha Eta-Kansas State University, said that executive committee is not the only members who should be on board with their visionary goal but rather the whole chapter.

"At the end of the day, the whole chapter needs to be in motion," she said.

Members were challenged to reflect about their chapters and pinpoint chapter goals with some sisters discussing their own personal goals to the group. Sisters spontaneously participated saying poignant phrases like "take pride in your chapter and others will take pride in your chapter too" and "developing and inspiring leaders."

Chapter presidents then worked on constructing their goals and shared some of their ideas with the group. Victor-Herring and Carson were encouraging the collegians to be themselves and don't hold back their feelings.

"We want you to feel comfortable," Victor-Herring said.

The sessions in this program build on one-another, as well as, the pre-work the members completed before Leadership Seminar.

Be sure to be on the lookout for more updates including one on their trip to Macon.

  1. As a past chapter president and '08 LS attendee I can really relate to this topic. I think its a great to strive for the entire chapter to know, understand, and believe in our goals. I'm sure this was brought up in a session but what about those select few who struggle with knowing, understanding, and believing those goals? How do we get them on the same page?
