President’s Message ovember is a good time to take stock of how your Lambda Sigma chapter is doing so far in the 2016-2017 academic year. N By now you’ve had several meetings, held some service events, perhaps sponsored some fundraisers, and developed some new Fall 2016 friendships while strengthening existing ones in your chapter. Inside this issue Here are a few questions to help you evaluate how your chapter is func- tioning: Gift of Honor Recipient Denise Rode, Page 2  How would you evaluate meeting attendance and participation?

 What are the strengths of your chapter so far this year? Weaknesses? How can you build Scholarship Recipients on your strengths and address weaknesses? Page 4  Has your chapter connected with your national board liaison and/or the Student Represent- atives yet? Both are great resources for help for specific issues your chapter may face, and Conference Awards they love to hear about your successes as well! Page 6  How visible is your chapter on campus? What are some ways to get recognition for Lamb- da Sigma, especially with first-year students who will be eligible for membership in next Beta Omicron Installation year’s chapter? Page 8  Have you implemented (or planned) a project addressing the national Lambda Sigma focus on serving underprivileged children or at-risk teens? Student Perspectives  How would you describe communication in your chapter (in person, on social media, etc.)? Page 9

 Is your chapter financially sound? If not, are fundraisers planned for the future?

Chapter Updates The good news is that there is still time in the year to address any of the areas above that may Page 12 need attention, as well as to celebrate the successes you’ve already had this fall. Resources to help with any Lambda Sigma question or concern are available on the national website at Upcoming Deadlines, www.lambdasigma.org and through your Student Representatives, your board liaison, and the Chapter Roster, and national officers, including our executive secretary, Ron Wolfe.

Lambda Sigma Student Representatives Lambda Sigma’s student representatives are elected at the Presidents’ Leadership Conference each year to serve a two-year term on the national board. They not only serve as voting members on the board, but they are also the voice of the students. They bring to the table ideas, concerns, and issues from the active members of Lambda Sigma chapters so that we may continue to improve as an organization. The student representatives stay in contact with the chapter presidents throughout the year and will send out reminders on dates, deadlines and other matters. Make sure to reach out and talk to your student representatives should you have any concerns, questions, or feedback!

To this end, the National Executive Board of Lambda Sigma Society encour- ages its member chapters to actively pursue candidates for membership who would broaden and strengthen the local chapters by providing diverse backgrounds.
