Welcome back to school for all students & school staff!


Position Tips & Tricks
Secretary
-
Think meaningfully about the weekly agenda, incorporate debrief opportunities, feedback, etc. to be built in weekly.
Public Relations
-
Leverage Seasonal Themes – Create content around Back to School, Hispanic Heritage Month, and fall trends to boost engagement and relevance.
-
Use Interactive Content – Polls, Q&As, and user-generated content help increase interaction and keep your audience engaged.
Membership: Important Reminders When Attending Sessions:
-
Purpose: Cultivate strong, quality Omega women.
-
Respect: Always show respect to Prospective New Members (PNMs) and the integrity of the process.
-
Communication: Do not interrupt or speak over other sisters during sessions.
-
Focus: Encourage PNMs to respond to the sister who first addressed them, not necessarily the one who is the loudest or most assertive.
-
Leadership: The Educator leads the session — their direction should be followed at all times.
Archivist
-
Make a habit out of going to office hours and doing ongoing review so you aren't cramming concepts at the end of the semester.
-
Reminder: The GPA for the Fall 2025 has been rolled back to a 2.5, however, please remember that this is not the goal!
