Virginia Tech Chapter Wins Big at Pi Sigma Epsilon National Conference
Virginia Techβs Pi Sigma Epsilon chapter competed for the Top Silver Chapter award on Wednesday morning at 8 AM at the PSE National Conference in Miami, Florida among various other competitive events. The Top Silver Chapter award is given to a chapter that reaches silver standing through chapter operation guide points that are continually submitted throughout the year, based off completed chapter tasks, and demonstrates excellence in all aspects of a PSE chapter. These chapter elements include strategic planning, chapter goals and performance, member development and financial stability. Each of the eight members that traveled down with the PSE team spoke in our 30 minute presentation and 20 minute Q&A session in front of a panel of 5 judges. At the formal awards banquet on Saturday evening, it was announced that the Virginia Tech Delta Epsilon chapter had placed second for Top Silver Chapter over so many other chapters throughout the nation. Pi Sigma Epsilon could not be more enthused and excited for what the chapter has accomplished and to improve the VT chapter even more for next year's national conference in Houston, Texas!
After the outstanding weekend for Pi Sigma Epsilon, President Colleen Howell expressed great hope for the teamβs future after returning back to Blacksburg. "This was my first PSE Nationals Conference and there's no doubt in my mind I will be back next year. The week was filled with an exciting array of key note speakers, fierce competition, professional development opportunities, and networking with over 80 companies and over 400 fellow Pi Sigma Epsilon members from all over the country. I gained so much in just 5 short days, 5 of the most rewarding and exciting days I've ever experienced...all in sunny Miami! I am so very proud of my chapter and only look forward to what more we can bring to the table at the conference next year."
