Less on my Plate

After a year of serving my sorority, my reign as bursar (aka treasurer) has ended.
(and so has my time as captain of the field hockey team)

It is a bittersweet feeling.

I am happy and honored that I was able to serve my sorority on E-Board as the treasurer. 
I was able to see the inner-workings of the sorority and interact with all of my sisters on that level.  Some of my responsibilities included: making a budget, giving reimbursements to sisters, writing checks to vendors, working with National and local representatives of the sorority, taking care of the taxes, and a plethora of other tasks. 
As captain of the team, I was able to help lead the team by re-enforcing our team rules and trying to keep our team as the tight knit group it has always been.

Furthermore, I can honestly say that I have enhanced my leadership (and time management skills!) by taking on both positions.  I hope that everyone has an opportunity to experience being a leader in an organization or team.

All that being said, I am happy that I now get to have "less on my plate".  Now that the time of being a captain of the field hockey team and treasurer of my sorority is over, I can sit back and enjoy my senior year a little bit more...
Don't worry, I'm not coasting through the rest of the year!  I've still got classes, Senior Design, Gear & Triangle E-Board, and being an RA on my plate!  I love being involved!

Both my sorority and the field hockey team are things that are very close to me, so I am still excited to be involved... just in a different way! :)

I would have to agree with you! I was also the treasurer of my Fraternity a few years ago and it teaaches you a lot. Managing a large budget and dealing with the national organization definitely helped in the future. I recommend to other Greeks to get involved within their organizations.
