If you're a chapter or council officer, you need to be ready for anything that comes your way. That means starting out by establishing a connection to all the people with whom you might work during your term. At the very least, get these people into your phone, your emai, your contact list, and your planner:
- Campus fraternity/sorority advisor(s)
- Other chapter/council president(s)
- All your fellow chapter/council leaders
- Their parents
- Other officers in the community with similar responsibilities
- Your Leadership Consultant
- The Hazing Hotline
