(!~£~ Chapter Excellence Program by Cluistina Duggan Covinuton, Alpha Lambda
Imagine: Your collegiate chapter winning
one of Alpha Sigma Tau 's most prestirrious honors at the ational Conven"' tion , the Founders Award. As you make your way to the head table amid the congratulations of other co llegiate chapters, the chee r , and the applau e to accept the award , your mind recalls the activenes , elf-reliance, and trust your chapter member placed in each other to receive such an honor. You remember the quiet study time a t the library each week and th e acti e class oriented sister study groups that evolved. These activities e nabled your chapter members to increase th eir average GPA by 0.6 for the year, pleasing the ch apter me mbers and their parents. You think of th e finan cial acco unt that your chapter started three year ago. The funds a ll owed yo_ur chapte r to renovate th e chapter su_Ite thi year, and attend the RLW wnh twice the required membership so that 50 % of yo ur c h apte r co uld return bringing new ideas and a n ation al AI-T awaren e s to the chapte r. Those accounts al o enabled your ch apte r to send five women and your Chapter Adviser to Convention to live the experience of being "Anchored withAlpha Sigma Tau. " Finally, you remember the chapter Sorority Growth and Development programming on topic ranginrr from e thni c di vers ity to women'~ health issues. Don 'tforget the Sisterhood activities like dynamic rush and pledge programs that enabled your chapter to fi ll quota and mee t total. Your chapter is th e example!

At th e end of the skit, the dir~ctor decided that ach girl got the part because each of them had_ a trait among them, no matte r how different, that contributed to being an ALT.
