2008 Province Workshop a Success
By Andrew Owen
Every
January during MLK weekend, Province 24, which includes all the
chapters of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia that are in Mississippi, holds
a Province Workshop. The 2008 Province Workshop was held at
Northwest Mississippi Community College. The Theta Upsilon
chapter sent thirteen brothers to the event. Several speakers
reported on matters like risk management and about how to improve
chapter activities and brotherhood. The Workshop also had
several breakout sessions on different matters such as the national
strategic plan and how to develop brotherhood.
The province used this workshop to elect a Collegiate Province
Representative (CPR), Assistant CPRs, Province Fraternity Education
Officer, and Province Alumni Coordinator. The Province elected
Brother Ben Tuberville of Theta Upsilon to succeed Brother Mark
Helmstetter, also of Theta Upsilon, as CPR. It elected Brothers
Ryan Case of Lambda Phi (Mississippi State) and Wesley Patrick (Northwest
Mississippi Community College) as Assistant CPRs. It elected
Brother Helmstetter as the Province Fraternity Education Officer
and Brother Alex Gibson of Lambda Phi as the Province Alumni Coordinator.
The province traveling
trophy, the "Mag," was unveiled in its full form, which
Brother Brad Holifield (Theta Upsilon, '05) beautifully designed.
Points for the "Mag" were tallied up and Theta Upsilon
won the most points for provincial interaction with the prototype
"Mag" over the previous year.
Theta Upsilon also received these six chapter citations for excellence:
Musical Achievement, Fraternal Tradition, Membership Development,
Province Interaction, Special Projects, and Province Interaction.
Theta Upsilon received more citations than any other chapter.
The chapter enjoyed attending the event and looks forward to the
next Province Workshop.
