The 15th Annual District Leadership Conference hosted by Iota Pi from February 15th-17th proved to be a great success with over 180 brothers and sisters attending from the Western District. The love between the organizations Kappa Kappa Psi and its sister sorority, Tau Beta Sigma emanated throughout the weekend, exemplified in the picture shown to the side. Some of the best things about the weekend were the instant friendships made with brothers and sisters, the reunion of old friendships, and the realization prospective members had at seeing the magnitude of the bond outside chapter setting. Besides the new memories and bonds made, many different events helped define DLC.
Over the weekend, leadership workshops as well as other general workshops presented by the Joint Western District Council benefited everyone present. The workshops centralized around the theme of DLC’s “Full-Service Chapter Maintenance” and can be found online at http://thewest.kkytbs.net/events/dlc/dlc-workshops/. Before the workshops, Iota Pi hosted service projects that benefited the bands and community including: making posters for elementary school band programs, maintaining music stands, cleaning shakos and boards, and retrofitting percussion cabinets. Service projects brought brothers and sisters closer by working together towards a common goal.
Although hosting DLC seemed to be a large daunting task, the chapter handled all of its needs with a great attitude and its best foot forward. From housing over 130 people to thinking of service projects for around 180 people to boiling gallons of hot water for PJ’s and Hot Chocolate, all of it turned out successfully. Brothers and sisters from the Western District thanked Iota Pi for being such wonderful hosts, but Iota Pi truly thanks everyone for coming because the event would have been nothing without them. All of the hard work done by the chapter really showed throughout the whole weekend and the district council could not thank us enough. Having been chosen to host DLC was such a great honor and privilege and it brought the chapter even closer together. This event kicked off the district season and really showed that the best are truly in the west.
Iota Pi loves Western District!
