First Post is always the worst post.

Hello world! My name is Jacquith(Jake-WITH), I am an alumni of my Gamma Nu Chapter of Delta Tau Delta National Fraternity at the University of Maine, as well as the Live-In Advisor(read Mom) for my chapter. I created a program called the Committed to Lives of Excellence: Three steps to a Hugh Shields Award, in the spring of 2010. In August of 2010 the Director of Membership read my plan and decided to add it to the materials given to the chapter consultants. In October of 2010 an alumni of my chapter, and an advisor of the Delt chapter at George Washington in Washington D.C. read it, and asked me if he could bring it to his new chapter, which I of course agreed to. The CLE started as a simple write up to help my chapter over come some massive issues we were struggling with. It has grown greatly in the last 10 months, and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. I decided to create this blog as a way to share ideas, and get feedback on the new edition. I like to think I am pretty awesome, but there are always new things I never thought of, which could benefit this program. One of the most basic principles of CLE is collaboration, so here I am. I will be adding new topics, and posting parts of the second edition here to collect these new ideas. Please do not hesitate to tell me if you think something could be better, or if you have some cool new idea. Also if you would like a copy of Committed to Lives of Excellence please let me know, and I will be more then willing to send you the first edition. As it stands right now this is a program that is meant for fraternities, not just DTD. I have started the very stages of CLE:Sorority Edition and would love some sorority members to give me some direction. So thanks for stumbling upon my humble little blog, and I hope to hear from you!
