"Change will not come if we wait for some other person
or some other time. We are the ones
we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." -President Barack
Obama
This quote reminds me of two changes that have happened within
the past two quarters. The first of which is PHA's, and Greek Life's, stand on
upholding FIPG. This was an issue every chapter had hidden in the closet for a
long time. It was finally time to face the issue, because if our round of
presidents didn't, who knows if the next round would actually draw attention to
the issue. Even though we are not finished dealing with the problem, at least
our younger members and the Greek community as a whole are aware of the issue. Hopefully having everyone informed of the issue, this problem can soon become a second-order change for the betterment of our Greek community.
The second deals with my personal chapter, but I know every
other chapter can relate to this change. We just restructured our bylaws and
organizational tree, we moved our officer switchover schedule by a few weeks to
get ready for semesters, and we restructured various other things within the
chapter to prepare for semesters. Then, at the end of this quarter, we will
start to think about who the new leaders of the chapter will be. I can imagine
other chapters are in the process of doing this exact thing - making
"structural or procedural changes than can be made within the
organization's current framework of rules, procedures, and leadership
roles."
