It's been almost two weeks since I began my job. Whew! It has been a whirlwind of "What? Huh? Who?" But I'm slowly getting the hang of things.
A lot of exciting things have been happening in the office! We met with two men who want to begin a new fraternity colony, so that's very exciting to see them doing that. They seem like really great potential fraternity men who I hope will improve the Greek Life image on CSU's campus.
As I've been doing my research, I'm discovering more and more things that need to be ironed out. I'm hoping that in the next two years, I can make things uniform so Fraternity & Sorority Life can begin to prosper.
It's been nice to be able to take things from my undergrad institution and apply them here. But I also have enjoyed seeing how different things are at this institution. Overall, it's been pretty darn awesome.
I was able to go on my first business trip to Denver! We looked at two hotels for our Leadership Retreat and had a blast! Everyone was super nice and I learned a lot during my trip. Also, my boss asked me if I wanted to go to NACA West! NACA is a conference for Student Activities. I went last year and I loved it. So I get to go by myself this year. Yikes! So nerve wracking but I'm excited to go to California and see talented people. I'm really hoping to bring back some great acts to the CSU campus.
Also, my whole outfit of the day pictures aren't gonna cut it because I don't have a full length mirror. So womp womp to that. But I look cute everyday, so whatever.

My First Day on the Job
So I just finished my first day as the Greek Life & Leadership Coordinator. Woo. I am tiiiiiired.
I met so many people today! I can already tell that remembering names is going to be my downfall, so I'm going to have to work harder on that. The woman whose desk is next to mine is in the cohort ahead of me in the SAHE program, so it'll be nice to be able to ask her questions and get her help. People seem so nice, so yay! I like nice people!
I began my day at 8:30 and set up my desk. I made sure that I put my bright pink nameplate on my desk, you know, to spruce it up. I put all my stuff in a drawer, cleaned my desk, and sat down. I did a lot of that today. Just trying to get my barrings. I got a lot of old Greek Life documents, which was cool. I was able to read a Phoenix Magazine (My sorority's magazine) from 2003. It was really neat to see my chapter mentioned in there.
I met with the Interim Director of Res. Life and he gave me a few assignments. RHA sounds like they are going to grow a lot in the next few years, so I am so excited to help and watch them grow! I also get to help completely redo RA training, so what?! Pumped!
My day begins tomorrow at 8am, so I'm going to have to get used to that.
Now onto the most important part of any day, what you wear! I work my mint sweater (which was funny because the woman I worked with was also wearing one too! Twinsies!) a black pencil skirt, and nude tights. It was a simple outfit, so I think I'll have to spruce up my wardrobe when I get some moolah.
