Interns Prepping for LS



The 2012 summer interns.



The ADPi Foundation violets, those many multi-colored awards ribbons and even the name tag itself, these items are needed to have a successful Leadership Seminar but have you ever wondered how they got there?

Well here at Executive Office, the whole staff has been flurrying around the office prepping for LS (now only 10 days away!). But a special group of staffers have been putting in the effort to make sure all the little things are running smoothly.

The group of interns, hailing from chapters all over the county, have been assisting the EO staff and learning about the various jobs held here at the office. The intern program is six weeks long and the group of young women stays at EO during the summer.

The intern group plays an integral role in this year’s LS prep, spending most of their time in the training room organizing, sorting and working together to complete larger projects. They just finished completing all the name tags for the hundreds of members attending LS giving them a sense of excitement for the week to come.

“As an attendee of Adelphean Compass, I have really enjoyed see all the chapter president’s names. I can’t wait to meet the sisters,” Madeleine Westerhout, Zeta Sigma-College of Charleston said.



The interns are also currently working on filling orders for the Violets for My Sister program.

“It’s great to see sisters giving back,” Anne Strickland, Beta Omega-Auburn University said. “It’s so easy to give $5, show your support for a sister and the work they do, as well as, the money going to the foundation in the process.”

The interns will be assisting EO staff during LS weekend. Be on the lookout for these young women in Gift Mart, during the Vendor Fair or just scurrying around the hotel and don’t forget to say hi! LS is all about meeting new friends and sharing the bond of sisterhood.
