One cool fun fact I learned when I was in Memphis for
Firesides at nationals was that a Chi Omega is National Panhellenic President once
every 55 years. This term Jean
Mrasek will be serving as president, which is exciting because she is a Chi O! Chi O’s everywhere are so excited to
proudly represent the entire Panhellenic community for the two year term.
Like I mentioned in my other blog about Firesides, in order
to educate us about Jean, Chi Omega made funny props for the Panhellenic
Delegates at the conference to take back to their chapters. Handing out “Flat Jean” surely made it
impossible for me to forget her name or job, that’s for sure.

Jean works at TCU in the admissions office, and when we met
her she promised a visit to the Iota Alpha chapter since she is so close
by! As current Panhellenic
Delegate, I would especially benefit from a visit from Jean, and I hope she
makes the trip down soon so I we can learn everything there is to know about
Panhellenic love.
Another important person that we had the pleasure of hosting
in our house last week was Letitia Fulkerson. Letitia is currently serving as the Chi Omega National President. She stopped by the SMU Chi OMega house on her way to a meeting in Dallas.
Our chapter’s Executive Board and Cardinal Cabinet dressed
up in business casual garb, and welcomed her into our home. We were able to ask her about her time
in college as a Chi Omega, her current life as president, and for general
advice about how to make our chapter even stronger than it is right now.
We also were each able to personally introduce ourselves
and talk about what we are doing in our jobs on Iota Alpha’s governing
council. It was an amazing
experience to be able to speak one-on-one with such an inspiring leader.
Hosting Letitia was certainly special and highly
informative. She was very candid
and encouraging.
XO Love and Mine,
