To learn more about each role of Panhellenic Executive Board, this week we will be highlighting each of the women who have served on executive board for the 2018-2019 term. 

Today we will be featuring Lyndsey Davis, Vice President for Recruitment. 

What was your previous involvement in Panhellenic? (How were you eligible for this)
Recruitment Executive Board - Assistant Recruitment Computer Analyst (before that I was Delegate and Junior Panhellenic Delegate)
 
Why did you apply for Panhellenic Exec?
After serving on REB, I fell in love with Recruitment through Panhellenic and Panhellenic as a whole, and I wanted to push myself to be even more involved in this organization. I knew it would take a lot, but it was so exciting to think about putting on the best recruitment possible for the PNMs and serving this Panhellenic community.
 
How would you describe the time commitment for your position?
It is a serious time commitment (including Summer) but very doable as long as you are willing to put in the work. A lot of the time it didn’t even seem like work because I enjoyed everything I was doing and the people I was doing it with.
 
What do the day-to-day responsibilities look like for this position?
The day-to-day varies so much, but I would love to sit down and talk in more detail about some of the main responsibilities!

Thank you for serving Panhellenic, Lyndsey!

To learn more about each role of Panhellenic Executive Board, this week we will be highlighting each of the women who have served on executive board for the 2018-2019 term. 

Today we will be featuring Madison Wright, Administrative Vice President.

What was your previous involvement in Panhellenic? (How were you eligible for this)
I was on Panhellenic Cabinet and served as Director of Spiritual Life and then decided to apply for Exec. I loved serving on cabinet and wanted to continue to work with cabinet and Panhellenic!

Why did you apply for Panhellenic Exec?
I wanted to continue my involvement in Panhellenic and rather than choose one cabinet position to work with, I decided to apply for AVP because I would get to work with all the cabinet positions and continue to serve Panhellenic in a new way.
How would you describe the time commitment for your position?
We have weekly exec meetings for 1-2 hours, cabinet or council on Tuesdays at 5, and then 4 office hours in the GLO per week. Some weeks are definitely busier than others but it's a nice balance overall.
 
What do the day-to-day responsibilities look like for this position?
I communicate with each of the cabinet positions weekly on what updates they have in their positions. From there I work with them to assist in any way they need help or problem solve any issues that come up! I also keep our Exec in the loop with everything going on so we can effectively communicate all that is going on in Panhellenic to all of council.

optimistic, encouraging, compassionate
 
What has been your favorite part of being on exec this year?
I have loved getting to see in depth how Panhellenic works and getting to know all of the amazing women that make up our community throughout times like recruitment and the SEC & Friends conference in Oxford. It has really been the best year because of this opportunity and I am so thankful for Panhellenic and these friendships.

Thank you for serving Panhellenic, Madison!

Today we will be featuring Rachel Strength, Vice President of Finances. 
 
What was your previous involvement in Panhellenic?
Before serving on Panhellenic, I served on my chapter's executive board as Treasurer. Having that knowledge from working with my chapter has definitely helped me in my Panhellenic role!
 
Why did you apply for Panhellenic Exec?
I applied for Panhellenic Exec in order to further serve the Panhellenic community outside my chapter. I've had a great time getting to know so many fantastic Panhellenic women on our campus!

How would you describe the time commitment for your position?
Each week is a little different depending on what is happening within council. On an average week, I probably spend around 10-12 hours working for Panhellenic between Exec meetings, council, and generally working in the office.
​
What do the day-to-day responsibilities look like for this position?
I work on a regular basis with Panhellenic exec members, cabinet, and Greek Life staff in order to make sure Panhellenic is meeting its financial responsibilities. Some of these tasks include creating and updating the annual budget, keeping track of invoices and reimbursements, and working with vendors.
​
Describe yourself in 3 words
Loyal, Sarcastic, Responsible
 
What has been your favorite part of being on exec this year?
My favorite part of exec this year has definitely been the relationships I've formed with my exec team. These ladies push me to be my best and I can't imagine serving on exec without them!

Thank you for your commitment to Panhellenic, Rachel!
