Graduation Speech: President Of Pi Kappa Alpha Gamma Epsilon

Decent Essays
As I was typing this speech, I didn’t really know where to start. Five minutes is a bit ridiculous, and I tend to be a man of few words, so hopefully this suffices. First of all, I want to thank you all for nominating me to be president of Pi Kappa Alpha Gamma Epsilon. I understand that it is a huge responsibility and I don’t take it lightly at all.

When I first got here, the chapter was struggling. We just went through a membership review, and we were experiencing repercussions from various allegations and potential lawsuits. What followed was truly amazing. As a JI, I had the privilege to watch our chapter slowly rebuild itself one day at a time. In my time here, we improved our house, our membership, and our reputation. I am proud
