ii.Senior recognition
1.Elizabeth (Liz) Lersh, Xi Omicron Iota, Liz has done so much for Xi Om since I have been a member. She has been VP, Homecoming co-chair and Greek Week co-chair and the amount of hardwork and motivation this woman has is beyond amazing. She is one to take a challenge but still knows how to take help from her sisters. She is definitely going to be missed but she will do great things.
2.Megan Bradley, Xi Omicron Iota, Megan dedicated a lot of time, work, and her creativity to Xi Om. She is a leader and has helped us win many wins during Homecoming and Greek Week. Megan is someone who would stay up all hours of the night if she knew it would help the sisterhood. Her love and passion is something that is hard to imitate.
3.Hannah Longust, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Hannah has showed constant dedication to her chapter and her future. She has had a 4.0 almost every semester of her college career and has held many positions within her chapter. She is always pushing herself and encouraging other women to be the best they can be. She is a huge role model to me and many others.
4.Carli Hays, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Carli Hayes is one of the most sincere people on this planet. Carli is smart, beautiful, friendly, and a go-getter. She is going to do great things when she graduates! Carli is one of the main reasons I am in the chapter that I am. Without Carli, FSL would not be the same for me. Carli always puts a smile on my face and puts things into perspective for me.

i.No report
J.Director of Social Awareness: Rachel Frisch ()
i.The presidents have been discussing a co-programming event with all the chapters. I think we could have one over internalized misogyny and heteronormativity and how that can harm out attempts to develop strong inter-chapter and Panhellenic sisterhood. I would love to get feedback from every chapter and get a few women from every chapter onto a committee to plan it.
K.Chief Justice: Carlye Genisio ()
