Nu
Rho Leadership
Leadership
- Overview
- Position Descriptions
- Current Leadership
Realistically,
leadership is a matter of development. Alpha Phi Omega develops leaders,
and we are very proud of that. As we grow, we seek qualities of leadership,
and throughout our lives, we pursue the development of those qualities
and the development of other 'well-rounding' qualities. Through our
leadership development program in Alpha Phi Omega, we are able to
develop ourselves. And, as we aspire to greater things in life, we
become aware of limiting factors - which we can't control, the external
forces that shape our destiny until we control and develop what we
have inside of us. We discover our own talents and strive to better
our skills. We study, we learn, we practice.
President
The President's job is one of
coordination and public relations. S/He runs the Brother meetings,
the Executive Board meetings, and coordinates Advisory Board
meetings. S/He appoints committees for certain undertakings (e.g.:
Awards Banquet, Senior Reception). Nu Rho's head honcho also
may appoint a Parliamentarian (who interprets the bylaws should
any questions arise) and a Sergeant-at-Arms (who keeps order
at meetings) as necessary to smooth the workings of Nu Rho. The
big cheese also gets to handle probations and suspensions, unless
s/he delegates that job to someone else. S/He is our representative
to the Client Activities Office, to the College and the Williamsburg
Community.
Executive VP
This position is not official,
but according to the National Board, Chapters can create new
Executive Board positions as deemed necessary. It just means
that we get strange looks at Sectionals! The Executive Vice President

and other written correspondence that needs to circulate through
the Brotherhood or to the National Office. S/He is also in charge

The Service VP is all about
helping others do service. Our service projects, which number
around 20, range from fixing up houses and summer camps to working
with at-risk kids in the community to running the campus escort
service and visiting local nursing homes. One of the best parts
about our service program is that if a Brother wants to take
on a project that we have yet to start, s/he is more than welcome
to go for it. If that person is excited about it, the Brotherhood
will be too. The Service VP ensures that all of our projects
have project heads to organize and run them. S/he also assists
the project heads with any questions or details that might need
to be addressed. S/He serves as the campus and community contact
for our Brotherhood. Our service program provides us the opportunity

taken.
