To achieve social change, it must be a collaborative effort
amongst many people. Often times it is not something that can be changed by
just one single person. I believe that social change can be made possible by
one person’s vision, but it is vital to have support and help by those around
you. As I begin my term as chapter president, I have seen myself become more
aware of my motivations to work for social change.
As
I reflect on my past couple years in the chapter and create goals for my term,
I look back on the things that didn’t work in the past as well as those that
were successful. I want to make the next year a positive experience for the
members of my chapter while also altering the way things have been done in the
past to better our organization. My desire to bring success to Alpha Gamma
Delta has truly shaped me as a leader as well. I have learned that being a
leader may sometimes mean actually giving instructions and leading, but it is
truly being a motivator and encouraging the chapter to excel in each of our
daily activities. I want my chapter to be successful and I have seen my
leadership style differ in order to connect with the women and best carry out
the mission of the group.
Lastly,
until I became President I think I though about social change differently. I
never felt like it was my job to make change, but just follow or be instructed.
My current approach is drastically different, as I believe it is everyone’s job
to make change and I am capable of fighting for that change, but to achieve it,
it must be a team effort. No one can sit in the back and hope others will do
for them, but rather I think it is important to approach it as a whole chapter
responsibility. Social change is
significant, and it is vital that each member of the chapter is educated on its
importance and impact.
