Welcome! My name is Soror Kristen Woodruff and it is an honor to serve in the office of the 1st Anti-Basileus position for the 2020-2022 Sorority years. 

 

First off, I'm delighted to serve in this position for several reasons. It is amazing to have the opportunity to communicate, fellowship and plan activities that will increase the value of Sorors' membership experience within the Eta Chi Sigma Alumnae Chapter. As I take on this new role and its responsibilities, my initial goal is to focus on retention and reclamation for the first year of my term.  In those efforts, my goal is to nurture our current membership by creating:

 

• Opportunities for sorors to bond via social meet-ups, both virtually and in-person (once the ban is lifted).

• Organize professional and personal development events that are in alignment with the membership's unique wants, needs and values.

• Share access to Membership updates/ initiatives on a regional & national level that will help local members stay informed. 

• Develop a space for members to feel valued, supported through membership appreciation efforts. 

• Communicate regularly with the membership to increase awareness and connection.

• Maintain a database of educational resources which are in alignment with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority's mission statements and goals. 

Furthermore, in my efforts to focus on reclamation, my main goal is to be in alignment with the Western Region's Membership new program initiative, The Seven for the Founders challenge by reconnecting at least 7 sorors to Eta Chi Sigma Alumnae chapter per sorority year. We are on a roll this year already! Congratulations to all of our reclaimed sorors! When sorors have been reclaimed, my goal is to create transition experiences that allow for intentional sisterhood bonding, community service efforts and valuable membership experiences. In addition, I want to create a safe space for sorors who are considering reactivation so they know they are supported, welcomed and always appreciated no matter their membership status.

 

The second half of this sorority year will not only focus on retention and reclamation, but also on recruitment efforts. If you are interested in becoming a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc, please contact me at the email address below. I'd love to say hello and introduce myself!  :-) 

 

Therefore, the Sorors of Eta Chi Sigma Alumnae Chapter have lots of exciting work ahead and I'm confident that as we continue to serve in sisterhood and service in our chapter and with other local community partners, our annual goals will be successfully accomplished. We will proudly continue to quote our national Sorority motto, Greater Service, Greater Progress!
