Service Project Ideas
Building a successful
Alpha Zeta Chapter
- Focus time and effort at a place/method where the greatest success is likely.
- Primary motivation for anyone to become a member is WIIFM (What's in it for me). Define the WIIFM and promote it.
- Create awareness and interest by delivering on promises.
- Before pride can exist, the characteristics of significance, accomplishment and distinction must be present.
