Please provide a brief summary of your overall experience?

I feel that without AFLV the Greek community at WCU

wouldnt have the opportunity to grow and lead in a
better way. I personally had a great time and learned
exponentially what I thought I was going to. I will attend
again!
I really have taken some amazing things away from this
conference that will not only help my chapter but help my
council to grow. It was also an amazing bonding
experience for everyone and allowed us to build a
stronger sense of community.
I only think I can better the greek community after AFLV.
I learned how to make my exec better, how to make the
chapter presidents better, hot to strategically plan my
year, hot to effectively talk to people when there is a
problem, how to lead by example, hot to reach out to
other organizations on campus and to collaborate with the
other councils. All of this I hope to be able to execute and
accomplish during my time on my council and if it werent
for AFLV I do not think I would be as good as council
president as I now believe I can be.
