Mission Accomplished
I could not be happier to announce that the Accreditation Application grading process is over. We spent all day, every day, for the last month reading these things and let me tell you it was quite an experience. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I sighed and once or twice I even rolled my eyes. Overall, our chapters are doing some really good things which is always great to read about. I am so excited for the awards banquet at Convention to recognize these chapters and their hard work. We also have a lot of work to do before next year's Accreditation Application is released. We are putting this project through some changes and we start working on it in t-minus 11 days. Less writing, more clicking. The format will be even more user friendly and straight forward. I could not be more excited for Accreditation version 2.0.
In other exciting news, Gretchen Stahl, the new Assistant Director of Member Development, started this week. She keeps coming back so I guess it's safe to assume she likes it here so far. It's great to have her here and she really fits in with the rest of staff so well. Once Convention is over we'll have the time to start moving forward with some very exciting things we're working on for our membership. Fresh ideas, new and updated resources, and a Mideast Regional Conference this fall that everybody will want to attend.
Now for some business. Get excited for Convention because we are! We are doing some cool new things at Convention this year to celebrate 50 years of brotherhood. I am hoping we have record breaking attendance, but we have some chapters that have yet to register! Who are they, you ask? See below. Let's utilize mass accountability here to get them registered!

Practice What We Preach - Staff "Brotherhood"
Today I was asked by a non-member and somebody who does not work for their National Headquarters what I liked best about working for Phi Kappa Theta. The answer was so easy it surprised me. I respect the organization because people, even at the highest levels, try to live out our mission every day. There is no hypocrisy. So often you see organizations preach to their members to be interfraternal and then you see their staff or board members saying negative things about other organizations. I also love hearing high level people talk about brotherhood and then watching those same people fight and bicker and disrespect each other. I see a lot of hypocrisy, but not in Phi Kappa Theta. I love knowing that the Board of Trustees has such professional and selfless men serving. We stress brotherhood to our chapters. Yesterday the staff had a "brotherhood" outing at a baseball game. It was so fun and the weather was perfect. In addition, we're preparing to do a service project in a couple weeks working at the Special Olympics. We as individuals give time to impact our society, just as the mission states. We do it as a staff as well. I'm not sure I've been as grateful to work for such a great organization as I was today when I was asked to reflect on my favorite part of Phi Kappa Theta.
