Tau Kappa Phi Fraternity Inc.
National Event Planners
Soror Shatoya "Q-Ray-Tive" Bland
What do you find most fulfilling about being event planners?
The most fulfilling part of being an event planner for Tau Kappa Phi is that I get to work with members from all the organizations. Also after all the planning it is a joy to see everyone have a wonderful time.
What are some challenges faced as an event planner?
Challenges are just learning experiences that enhance my abilities and teach me to do better in the future. Event planning is making sure the challenges are handled so that the individuals in attendance do not have to worry about anything.
What are some events you would like to see for the organization?
I am always excited about the traditional events that we do and adding variety to them so that old memories are coupled with new experiences. I would definitely like to see the TKPhi ball return there is nothing like seeing my Phamily dressed up and enjoying themselves. I also would like to see a type of memorial ritual for all the members that have entered into the gates of heaven.
How long have you been in the organization?
I have been a member since December 16, 2005
How has it changed since you joined?
Since crossing into this Phamily I can say that it has grown not only in numbers but on an administrative level and the acceptance of the community. Working to implement programs that touch all aspects of community and putting the name of Tau Kappa Phi which includes all the organizations individually and collectively in a positive light.
How has the organization changed you?
This organization has made me a stronger, more confident, and proud individual. I have mastered the ability to be who I am, saying how I feel, and putting my needs above all others. It has also taught me to trust more people, knowing that many people will genuinely love me for who I am and have no expectations of gaining anything but a bond that is truly stronger than anything I can explain.
Three things that we may not know about you?
1. I am spoiled
2. I enjoy writing poetry
3. I am addicted to body wash. I purchase
some every time I go shopping.
