How do YOU want Zeta Chi Omega to be remembered? What should be our “brand” in the community?
If you had the opportunity to change one thing to change, what would it be?
How can we sustain strong operations? Positive sisterly relations? Engage our members?
What new program should we begin? Which ones should we stop?
