It's been awhile...

I'm not even really sure how to start this...

It is an epic fail on my part for not beginning this sooner. For awhile I've been thinking about how to best utilize this blog. I think I have come to the decision to use it as a tool to keep everyone up to date on the every day activities of the fraternity that you might not want to hear about in those e-mails that clutter up your inboxes!

For right now I think I'm going to talk a little bit about what we have planned for the semester in different areas of the fraternity.

Last night in chapter, Ashley brought up the idea of having a day for KB to work on us outside of retreat. It will be a sort of introspective leadership building day focused on bringing out our strongest and weakest points. A suggestion was made to bring back the color personality test. To jog your memories, major personality types are spit into green, gold, orange, and blue. Brief descriptions are given as to the traits of each and how the colors interact with each other. This hasn't been done since I've been active so it will be interesting to see what categories everyone falls into.

We have 8 membership candidates this spring. Rebecca, Molly, Khris, Travis, Taylor, Ryan, Robby, and Kelsey all started their candidate process on the 22nd. We've already seen a lot of them participating in committee meetings and chapters and it's always exciting to see some new enthusiastic faces.

KB will be continuing the annual spring fundraiser "Rent a Bro" this year. So start making some lists of around the house chores and yardwork! We will probably be available most in March and April so hopefully we'll be able to complete that again this year. There have also been some thoughts of hosting a golf tournament sometime in the future. If any of you are avid golfers get that swing ready! There will definitely be more updates on this project in the future.

On the social front, we are trying to do formal in Gatlinburg, TN. Though we've hit a few roadblocks thus far, but we're still looking forward to getting something along those lines together. We're also starting to do karaoke night at a local wing place. Though I didn't go last week, it seems like it will be a lot of fun. What's better than singing and eating with some of your best friends?

We're all really looking forward to the upcoming semester, and all of the things that we can accomplish within the next few months!
