Elections.

Ugh, electing officers in my sorority is an extremely long and tedious process. It took us two Sundays-- 5 hours each Sunday! On the first Sunday we broke into caucuses. Your caucus is dependent upon the grade you are in at school. After breaking into caucuses we began election process.

There were at least 30 positions that needed to be filled for the next year, and we had to go through each position listing three pros and cons for each of the candidates. If there was a tie, we had to start the process all over. Each of the individual caucuses did this and by analyzing each of the caucuses slates the first final slate was formed.

The next Sunday, we voted on whether or not we wanted to pass the slate as is, but it did not pass. So we did the whole election process over with the entire sorority, rather than caucuses, making a completely new FINAL slate.

Before we even began elections all of the potential candidates had to fill out pref sheets, which are basically like resumés. They list what positions the girls would like in order of preference and all of their qualifications. We used the pref sheets to help us make our decisions. It was long and tedious but in the end I'm really happy about our newly elected officers.
