Favorite memory from Mu Zeta:
There are so many! I don't have a favorite, but the first that comes to mind was Banquet at the Carnelian
Room when I was Banquet Chair :) (Fall 2007)
Major: Psychology
Current occupation:
Event Planner/ Project Manager / Makeup Artist/ Community Organizer/ Entrepreneur
What motivated you to choose these occupations?
I set very high goals and expectations for myself. Being all of the above keeps me busy :) I also plan on
retiring at the age of 40 (hence the Entrepreneur part) ^-^
What do you like/dislike?
Like - I set my own schedule. I am my own boss :)
Dislike -- it's a risky and winding road and you're never certain if your business will fail or succeed. But
life is a risk.. it's up to you if you want to take it or not. I'm a risk taker :)
dvice (part deux):
With every career that you end up choosing, there will always be ups and downs. But as long as you pick
a career that you love, no matter what happens, you will be able to succeed.

language two brothers and add one brother, strike out president and add Pledgemaster, and this will
take effect on Spring 2012, seconded by Jon-Thomas Duldulao-Lee.
Discussion:
- To restructure our leadership positions, pledge master is the only office with two people, and
we underutilize the positions, if we have a committee under the office,
- Jon: I’m for this, and you have to ask this are you gonna be here in Spring 2012, we can change
this down the line, this doesn’t take affect til nect year. Because relying on two people takes
away the leadership.
- Alyssa Royce: I noticed that other chapters, they also rely on more committees, it makes it more
of talking to us than rather to us. These are our requirements, this is how it is because of two
- Louis Pandong: Only one person can’t run, pledgemasters can’t run
- Anna Lei: If you are trying to have it to only one VP, when you have a committee, yeah you go to
them and you rely to them, it was really hard to work alone, and you really needed a co, you can
rely on a committee,it’s good to have a co with you, it’s that person that you can fall upon too,
that’s how I try to feel, it’s consistent of pledges and members, and in experience, might not
know how you feel, having a co with you from the beginning and the end is better than a
committee.
- Ricki Herrera: I think wording it the way it is, it removes the option to have a co, and Rochelle
was a great co, forcing people to have a committee, I don’t think this is the smartest idea
- Doreen Li: Does this affect appointeds?
- Kingsley Yee: yes
- Louis: People still have an option to do this under the office, there’s also a backdraw when
there’s a co. it’s hard to communicate all the time, there’s always one who is the stronger co.
there’s an experience who has a co. My point from right now. People still have the option, to
run alone
- Kingsley: Many other offices still have one officer per spot, we’re still in the minority with the
duo partnership, when I left after standing a year ago, more of a committee meeting was like a
joke. I don’t think the committee meeting is completely functional. Take on a larger role. It’s a
better thing for the chapter then for each of the committees.
- Anna: Yeah maybe it’s not utilized well, there are people who are charged in that office, you still
have to be in the committee from now on, than in spring 2012, the committees are just as
important, it’s gonna be their fault if this will ever happen. Committees have their opinions, fail
the worlds, like Louis said, you have the option of doing it alone, some people can run with
other people. You have to make sure those ones are gonna work with you and not against you.
- Rochelle Fruguglietti: I just want to remind members, that there was one person who our
semester ran pretty smoothly, I feel like this, I’m pretty neutral about it, some people can think
about it for a change, just because, but I feel that not relying on a co, it’s nice, there’s always
someone out there. I lost my train of thought. I just want to remind everyone, and things ran
pretty smoothly, excomm can rely on everyone. Being everyone on the same page. If you
contact one person, a lot of people can contact one person. Having two people with excomm.
That’s just something to take in to consideration.
- Jon: there’s a lot of single person offices, and to see how bad it was or how good it went. But it
brings the chapter together, to be more involved, you don’t’ want pledging to be the only thing
you remember the most, so we can all bring it together, not like excomm just ttelling you what
to do, it’ let’s you guide the chapter.

Darius: further down the road. The new pledge class can adapt, but it will change and adapt this,
it will help bring teamwork, it might be hard to share two email accounts. Sometimes iyou get
caught in the loop. You get to rely, I feel like more chapter gets informed of this. There will be
about 10 people in the service committee. Iand I think this will be a growing lesson for mu zeta.
Ricki: concern j incoming pledges who are turning pledges, they don’t know anything about
excomm, if they’re weary about something they can do alone. We’re not giving everone else a
fair shot.
Justin: to go off that, we’ll utilizes committee, they get a sense of what the office a lot, maybe
then they’ll be inspired about that office, committees bring what people what goes on in the
position
Kingsley: first hthing, don’t think of this, think of it as taking it something away, other chapters, a
lot of people think of certain, we’re gonna automatically fail, keep that in mind, but more a
question to the chapter, how many of you guys, how the big bro work happens, believe it or not,
we went from 2 big bros, to 1, they’re very similar discussion, we need support, we need back
up, we all have adapted to it, once we adapted to it, oh my God, it’s such a huge change, well
it’s not as bad as it looks.
Sharon: I see what everyone’s trying to say, maybe it’s just I’m fortunate about my co, that is
gonna be the benefit of the chapter, I’m not saying, one dp it’s not always a n option, if you
believe you can do a position by yourself, but by all means, go ahead, write now, committees
don’t really work. I don’t think we should have 1 vp for a position, it should definitely like there
should be structure. We have a committee for service. And if you want, a chapter always has a
say.
Nathan: there’s a lot of concern, of a co, I’m so thankful for Jenn, if I were to run for this
position, I think I can definitely do this alone, I think strongly believe that a lot of you can run a
position by yourself, if you’re going to rely on a co, and a lot more opinions, then one person
froma co, and the person, and it’s going to be biased, and it’s that balanced, maybe you
shouldn’t be running for that person. A real leader shouldn’t be balanced. A leader should take
that fault. And go with it. Especially if you have a committee under you, and I think committees
are taken for granted. But I know that I’ve been thinking about it, its’ not a better for the
chapter.
Alyssa; there is Mu Zeta, a lot of people, are concerned who to run with. A lot of us are
intimidated against ourselves, you have a lot less chance of winning, you are pressured to have a
co, and you have to find a right co, and you have to find someone to balance you out. And I
tthink tit’s a better part to find your delegation; I feel that it hasn’t always been there, service
has maad chairs, to be in charge for MAAD. We created more appointed positions, it’s
essentially to run for your own appointed committee. They have an internal service VP and an
external Service VP that finds community and country. I’m not ready to propose a committee.
We can split more positions, there’s less stress for one or two more people
Anna: are you guys gonna do anything about committees, where you have a co, in that office
you have structure, it’s gonna be a fail, if this motion passes, we’re gonna set up for these rules.
Point of information- we have set requirements for committees, we do set requirements
Anna: I understand that believe in having, and that’s a good thing about doing some work.
Sometimes distributing work to a lot of people it’s a lot of hard. It’s hard to take all the minutes
by yourself, and it’s hard to be finding the e-mail website., when it comes to do the hours for
membership, if you’re planning to find it solo. When I you have to do hours, and because all that
information, it’s another way of looking at it.
Sharon: I agree, that would be because that’s just a lot of hands on requirements, yeah there’s
certain positions where you can find help with, you can have multiple positions, there are
certain positions that a vp should be doing, and it’s required to have one VP and a committee to
help around. And if you vote yes on this, are you gonna step up?
- Justin: Membership doesn’t always do records, like family events, or membership events, and
the last thing I want to say, the reason I want to propose this, to say that I need a co to do
something, I believe everyone has, my rationale is to have committees. It’s possible to see if
you can run, I think everyone can do it by yourselves, and you shouldn’t discount your abilities
- Sharon: it seems that idea, and it seems that we should have VP, and it seems like a pair or a
single position, if that one person fails, then the whole team fails, and it’s kind of the things I’m
trying to say, a committee but it’s maybe be a little…
- Angelica: I don’t know if it’s been like this, we tried to do the whole helping each other, I felt like
I was literally stuck in this, there are checks and balances, we do have peers in excomm to help
you, in our excomm meeting, we our literally helping each other, I don’t think the support
system’s an issue. It works in other chapters
