Josh Schneider named Western<br />
Plains Division President<br />
A highlight during the Western Plains<br />
Division Conference included the swearing<br />
in of new Western Plains Division<br />
President Josh Schneider (Texas State<br />
University, 1998) by International President<br />
Alan Brackett after former division<br />
president Bob Marwill (University of<br />
Texas, 1959) stepped down from his position<br />
to focus on his role as Karnea local<br />
committee chairman. Schneider will<br />
serve as division president through the<br />
February 2013 term.<br />
In addition to the many officer positions<br />
he held as an undergraduate at Zeta<br />
<strong>Delta</strong>, Schneider has served as a chapter<br />
advisor at Theta <strong>Delta</strong> Chapter at Baylor<br />
University as well as a division vice president<br />
and a house corporation<br />
president.<br />
New Look to Conferences<br />
The division conference curriculum<br />
had a makeover this year. The redesign<br />
included three areas: developing tracks<br />
for certain officers and leadership skillbuilding,<br />
rewriting the breakout sessions,<br />
and inviting more campus-based student<br />
affairs professionals to participate in the<br />
conferences as facilitators. The feedback<br />
has been very positive and the Fraternity<br />
staff is already working on ways the conferences<br />
can be further enhanced next<br />
year.<br />
Every chapter leader needs training<br />
to be successful in his position. The<br />
question is – how should each officer be<br />
trained? We posed that question to<br />
students and alumni and, based on their<br />
feedback, it was clear that five officers<br />
needed face-to-face training. Those positions<br />
were president, treasurer, recruitment,<br />
new member educator and Guide.<br />
