After an extensive election process, I was elected Membership Vice President for the Alpha Delta chapter of Gamma Phi Beta. During the most competitive recruitment season in the University of Missouri’s history, with over 1,600 Potential New Members, I led our chapter through two intense weeks of recruitment and months of preparation beforehand. I focused on equipping my team and chapter to put our best foot forward, then ensured a strong wrap-up that set the next leader up for success. By the end of recruitment, we became the top recruiting chapter on campus, welcomed over 100 new members, and achieved exceptional retention rates, sharpening my leadership, presentation, and people skills in the process.

Bid Day was one of the most rewarding moments of my time in this role. Alongside my Bid Day chair, I developed our “Welcome to the Lucky Life” concept from the ground up, incorporating good-luck motifs like dice, 8 balls, angel numbers, and horseshoes across decor, merchandise, and visuals. I also led the creative direction for our recruitment banner designing a simple, pink banner centered on a meaningful message and drawing inspiration from brands, ads, and social content.

I took inspiration from social media accounts, replicating props and concepts I loved, and adapting them to fit our chapter’s identity. Our ‘night before recruitment’ post was inspired by an advertisement I had seen for a hotel. On Instagram, a coffee shop I like posted their “Cool Kids Drink Matcha” business card, and it later inspired the ‘boarding pass’ prop for our First Class work week theme. Our social media presence became something I was truly proud of, and I had a blast structuring it to showcase our chapter in the best light.
