Rooming During LS

During Leadership Seminar, attendees will be paired with members of other chapters as roommates. For some, this might be stepping out of your comfort zone but don’t worry! This blog post is aimed at calming any potential fears you have about rooming and roommates.



LS is the perfect time to make new friends from
all over the continent!



First of all you have to remember, you’re rooming with another ADPi. As members, we all share the common bond of sisterhood. Plus, it’s tons of fun to hear about chapters from other parts of the country run. Maybe your roomie’s chapter is small and your’s large? Maybe they have deferred recruitment. These differences is what makes it fun, to gain a new perspective.

There’s going to be so much to do, you’ll barely be in the room! The days are jam packed with sessions and there is always something fun planned for the night, I bet the room will remain empty for large parts of the day.

Be sure to reach out and connect with sisters in you
sessions.

One of the best things about LS is that it’s in the summer so no homework and studying in the room that might have happened during DLC, or at least no unopened text books taking up space on the night table.

Just remember everyone is here for the same reason, to learn and grow into a better leader and a better person. There’s no need to focus on the small stuff, just think about everything you’re going to learn at LS.

Here are some last minute tips to help keep peace in the hotel room.



Who's the diva who brought all
these bags?


Pack light- with multiple people sharing a small hotel room, space is tight and no one wants to be the diva with multiple suitcases overfilling the closet. Pack only what you will need for this weekend trip and try to bring the smallest suitcase you have (still leaving room for some Gift Mart goodies!)

Keep an Open Mind- Sisters will be traveling from all over the United States and Canada to attend LS. We might all be different but sisterhood is something we all share. Let’s all remember to keep an open mind and get to know each other.

Bring a Power Strip- with cell phone charges, laptop cords, hair straighteners and  curling irons, it could be an all out war for control of the few plugs. Become the #1 roomie by bring a power strip if you can. It’s not scientifically proven but I bet more outlets with create happier roommates.
