When I think about Theta Phi Alpha's impact on me, one of those areas is solidifying the desire to be involved in activities that help others. I learned what the word philanthropy meant as a collegian in the Alpha Pi chapter at Wayne State College. We planned and participated in many events that impacted not only the Wayne, NE, community but also the ones that impacted Nebraska and beyond. This was before Theta Phi Alpha had a designated philanthropy that applied to our local community. We picked up trash on the highway, planned an Easter Egg hunt for the children of Wayne, collected donations for various medical research causes, donated clothing to the women's shelter, and collected can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. I have always enjoyed participating in philanthropic activities, not only because of the impact they had on others but also because of the Theta Phi Alphas I was with.

Recently, you received a communication from the Grand Council sharing the vision for the ideal state of Theta Phi Alpha and the strategic plan for the Fraternity for 2024-2029. The work that will be done to accomplish these strategic goals will allow the Grand Council to become a more strategic and visionary board. This is called policy governance. I want to use my blog this month to explain what policy governance is and is not and how it will benefit the Fraternity, our members, and our staff.
I love August and September. Not only is it my chance to savor the last few weeks of summer weather in Nebraska, but it is also the start of Husker football and volleyball (I'm a huge college football fan), and my social media feed floods with pictures of our members and chapters returning to campuses and welcoming new members during recruitment. I love to see the themes, the t-shirts, the balloons, and all the smiling faces. I like as many posts as I can. However, I'm always a little sad when I can't like a post because of something in the pictures that does not represent Theta Phi Alpha.
Happy Founding Day! On August 30, 1912, our Founders brought our beloved Theta Phi Alpha to life. I wonder if they thought Theta Phi Alpha would still be celebrating this day 112 years later.
As I write my blog this month, I am still smiling about the 54th National Convention held in Baltimore, Maryland. Here are my top ten favorite moments of convention in no particular order.
Another school year has come to an end. This means that Theta Phi Alpha welcomes members to the third and longest phase of membership, the alumnae phase. Our chapters wished our soon-to-be alumnae members well with the Collegian Farewell Ceremony. Graduating seniors donned their caps and gowns. Some collegians transferred to a school without a Theta Phi Alpha chapter and became alumna. However you got there; welcome to the alumnae phase! Here is my advice to our new alumnae or any alumna who needs this information.
