Hello Aggies!

I hope everyone is off to a successful semester and starting service projects this year! Be sure to email me any interesting things you are doing in your chapter and feel free to share pictures so other chapters can see all of the awesome work across the nation! I hope all of the chapters are already looking forward to an awesome national convention in Tennessee. Keep up the good work!

+Something New to The Achiever! Lets try something new this year for The Achiever!

Each chapter can submit something unique about your chapter or something you are doing in your chapter, and next month we will do a chapter spotlight in The Achiever on the most impressive work submitted by an individual chapter.

Be creative and this is your time to brag about your chapter!!
