Alpha Eta Chapter: Stephen F. Austin State University
Happy New Year’s Sigma Alpha Sisters! I am extremely excited to be serving you as your National President. Since my election this past August, I have continued the efforts of Past President, Kelly Lawler. I am very thankful for all the hard work the National Sorority Board and staff have put into these projects, which will offer chapters more resources to help them have successful meetings and events. We are also putting together more professional development and sisterhood opportunities for both collegiate and alumnae members. One of those big projects the National Sorority Board has been working on is Chapter Bylaw revision support. Chapters will have the opportunity to go through their Bylaws and amend them to move sections or even entire articles into Standing Rules. A guide will be provided to assist chapters in understanding the differences between Bylaws and Standing Rules and will help them walk through the process. Another big project we are working on is putting our Risk Management into an online training platform for chapters. We will then have the opportunity to supply chapters with resources to use when planning events. I look forward to rolling out the new learning management system and our first training program, Risk Management this spring. In Sisterhood, Kim Neumann

College Aggies Online Competition is part of the Animal Agriculture Alliance connecting college students from across the country who are interested in promoting agriculture. The Alliance awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships to students and clubs this year. The competition consisted of an individual and Club divisions, where participants received training from communication experts within the ag industry. The focus was to reach consumers and peers in person on social media to discuss issues within the industry and tell the story of agriculture. We are excited to welcome you into the Alumni Community! Find out how you can still stay involved with Sigma Alpha on the Alumnae page on our website!

Applications Now Being Accepted for 2021 IFYE International Exchange Program What will the rest of 2021 hold for us? Anyone’s guess, right? IFYE USA and partner countries are moving ahead with plans for a successful 2021 IFYE exchange program. The two-, three-, and six-month programs are slated for the following dates: • Two-month: June 17 - August 16, 2021 • Three-month: June 17 - September 10, 2021 Three-month: September 20 - December 12, 2021 • Six-month: June 17 - December 12, 2021 We are currently accepting applications for the 2021 program. The IFYE experience is an opportunity that will change your life and add to your resume as much as or more than other options you may have for summer and fall 2021. Interviews will be scheduled with each person (most likely by virtual methods). After the selection process is completed, country placements will be made, and orientation sessions will begin. Of course, the 2021 program’s implementation will depend upon the COVID-19 pandemic situation. If the program is suspended for 2021, as it was for 2020, next-step determinations will be made by March/April 2021. Founded in 1948, the IFYE Association of the USA, Inc. provides programming focusing on cultural immersion, placing participants with multiple, rural-based host families during a two-, three-, or sixmonth period in countries around the world. Delegates from other countries come to the U.S. for similar rural-based host family experiences. IFYE representatives experience once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to gain understanding of the culture and lifestyle from those they live with while in the program. IFYE exchanges are conducted in collaboration with international, U.S., state, and local coordinators while being facilitated and supported by the IFYE Association of the USA, Inc. The IFYE motto of “Peace through Understanding” continues to touch the lives of people around the world. To learn more, visit https://ifyeusa.orgor contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you. Alan Lambert U.S. IFYE National Program Director alanelambert@gmail.com 605-366-6107

The Sigma Alpha National Sorority Board (NSB) is working hard to host the 2021 National Convention in person in Omaha, NE, this coming July. Convention dates are July 23 – 25, 2021 and registration rates and the hotel will be announced soon. Each collegiate chapter will still be required to have at least one delegate participate in the convention. However, the NSB is aware that the nation is still in the midst of a pandemic, with many schools and states under travel restrictions. Additionally, no one knows what to expect for July. With that in mind, the Sorority Board is working to determine the best way to accommodate the challenges and personal preferences/fears related to travel and safe gatherings that will still likely exist this summer while at the same time trying to maintain a learning environment that allows sisters to gain the full benefit of a Sigma Alpha National Convention. As such, there will be limits on in-person participation. Watch national Sigma Alpha social media for updates in the coming weeks!

The Sigma Alpha Educational Foundation is hosting the second biennial Sigma Alpha Sister Closet in conjunction with the 2021 National Convention in Omaha, NE, this coming July. Past Sigma Alpha President Kelly Lawler started the Sister Closet during the 2019 Convention in Scottsdale. Sisters from across the country donated new or gently used professional attire to help collegiate sisters stock their closet with clothing items needed for appropriate attire for chapter meetings, interviews, professional seminars or to just get their closet ready for post-college life. With nearly 200 items donated, the closet was a tremendous hit with collegiate attendees. Each attendee was given a coupon which could be used to select an item from the closet during marketplace hours. Kappa chapter alumna and Etiquette Speaker & Consultant, Tiffany Smith Nielsen, provided one-on-one consultations with sisters to help them choose items that were suited to them and their planned careers. To help stock this year’s closet, please send donations to Sigma Alpha National President, Kim Neumann Kim Neumann 29175 230th St Wabasso, MN 56293 Please send only professional attire that is new or gently used. If you don’t have any items to contribute because you already cleared out your closet during COVID quarantines and would still like to contribute, gift cards are also welcomed and the Foundation Board will use them to purchase additional items to fill any gaps in the closet.

The National Sigma Alpha Sorority Board (NSB) and Headquarters staff have been working over the last several months to develop a national platform to present consistent training programs at a national level for members of Sigma Alpha Sorority. The Learning Management System (LMS) is a web-based platform called SkyPrep, which the Sorority has contracted to host interactive learning modules for members and chapter leaders. The materials and training modules/programs will be accessed through the Sorority’s member portal – the Greenhouse. The LMS and the Greenhouse will be integrated through a single-sign on link so that members only need to remember one username and password. Once you log-in to the Greenhouse, you will see a link in your navigation options on your homepage for the LMS. When you select that link, it will bring you directly to the LMS – where you can access various training programs and corresponding resources. As the library of modules grows, members will sometimes be assigned required trainings based on their role in the organizations, i.e., chapter officer, chapter delegate, member candidate, etc. and will also have access to a variety of other programs they can take advantage of if they have specific interests or areas in which they’d like to learn more. The first training program the Sorority will unveil is National Risk Management Training to help members better understand the Sorority’s risk management policies and the members’ role in helping insure a safe environment for all. The Risk Management Training Program will launch in late January and all incoming member candidates as well as current collegiate officers will be required to complete the program. Beginning in the Fall of 2021, all collegiate members and all incoming member candidates will be required to participate in the program on an annual basis. As we look ahead to the future, the NSB will prioritize future training programs that are most needed to provide consistent training to our chapter members and leaders to prepare them for membership in the Sorority, chapter/national leadership roles, and for their careers. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details on how/when training programs will be made available and whether or not you have been assigned a required training program to complete.

Lessons learned in 2020
By: Michelle Bufkin Horton, Beta Eta Chapter Alumna There have been plenty of posts stating that 2020 can leave. While I don’t disagree - I don’t want to chalk it all up as a loss. There have been plenty of good things that occurred in 2020 and even more lessons learned. Below are some of my personal lessons taught by 2020. Find a hobby When the world shut down a lot of people learned this one the hard way. We can get so busy making a living that we forget to make a life as the old saying goes. For the longest time I thought all I had time for was work and sleep. When people asked what I did in my spare time or for fun I used to laugh and ask what spare time. This year I learned how important it is to create spare time. 2020 slowed a lot of us down and showed us what matters most. It also showcased the importance of taking care of our health - physical and mental. A hobby is a great way to do that. Some hobbies I picked up this year are disc golf, kayaking, reading (I’ve obviously been doing that since I was a kid but I now do it more intentionally), and traveling. These things provide me with an outlet that is so necessary; they also stretch my comfort zone which leads me to my next lesson learned. It’s ok to be an amateur The actual definition of amateur is one who engages in a pursuit, study, science or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession. One lacking in experience and competence in an art or science. A devotee, admirer The second definition is the most commonly interpreted, has a negative connotation and usually means that someone screwed up. However the first and the last one are just as important. I was recently reading That Sounds Fun by Annie F. Downs and in it she discusses being an amateur a lot. One of my favorite quotes from the book is, “If I only do things I’m great at - or something I can fake greatness at - I will live a very limited life.” Go back, read that again, I’ll wait. In a world where I feel judged by my accomplishments and bombarded with others highlight reels I feel the pressure to be great at things or at least make others think I am great at something. But how limited will I be if I stay in my comfort zone. This year I have learned it’s brave to be bad at something new. This is one of the biggest lessons I want to take into 2021. Embracing being an amateur. Work on relationships 2020 showed all of us the importance of face to face relationships; however it limited our capacity to build them. Suddenly almost all of our conversations turned virtual. That switch showed me how important those relationships can be to our mental health and happiness. So I began to work on making the most of the situation given and cultivating them. I reached out to more people on social media. I began FaceTiming or calling friends more often. I texted people more frequently just checking in. And instead of making obscure oh we should hang out soon comments, I picked a month that I was free and made a tentative date. I then set a reminder on my calendar to reach out to that person a month prior and begin making concrete plans. That might be extreme for some people, but I’m a planner. Life is short, I don’t want to look back and say man I wish I had lived it more. I want to spend time with friends in person or online. I want those in my life to know how big of a role they play in my life. So I make a concentrated effort. I will continue that work in 2021. Page 14
Get a library card This one is self explanatory I set a goal to read 50 books in 2020 and I accomplished it! You can find my reading list here. You can also join me on Goodreads (it makes finding, tracking and reviewing books easy). I read physical books, ebooks and listened to audiobooks. While there are multiple ways to get your hands on books a library card is the most economical. My local library allows me to check out books in all mediums at no cost to me. I do still buy books of course (I bought the That Sounds Fun book by Annie F. Downs I mentioned earlier and I suggest you do, too). I read 50 books without buying 50 books. I was also able to read books that probably would have never crossed my shelf because the library suggested them. If you have a local library I encourage you to join and start utilizing all of the opportunities to learn and grow in 2021.
Find adventure in the little things This goes along with the the hobbies and amateur lessons learned. 2020 limited countless opportunities for people, but it gave us the ability to find adventure and joy in the small things. A new board game, finishing a surprisingly hard puzzle, enjoying nature or traveling to a far away place via a book. So often we live in a waiting mindset - I will do that when, I can’t wait until, my life will be better when... But the thing is, what if we’re missing life’s little adventures waiting on the big ones? Adventure looks different for everyone. Let’s make a promise to ourselves in 2021 that we will look for adventure all around us - enjoy the sunrise at least once, lie in the grass and look at the stars, be more present with your loved ones, get lost in a good book, heck maybe get lost in the real world, don’t own a coffee table you can’t put your feet on and most importantly don’t overlook life’s small adventures and the joy they bring searching for the big ones. Michelle Bufkin Horton is an alumna of the Beta Eta Chapter at Auburn University where she received an undergraduate degree in Agricultural Communications. She then went on to receive a Master’s degree at a distance from Texas Tech University in Agricultural Communications. Her full-time job is working with cattle producers in the state of Arkansas – fighting for them and sharing their stories. She is also a freelance journalist for AgDaily Media where she interviews experts and writes about anything from advocacy to mental health to hard hitting news. In 2020 she began her own blog and social media accounts focusing on her two passions – Ag & Adventure. She shares about being a woman in agriculture, travel, hiking, kayaking and disc golf. This platform allows her to reach outside of agriculture into the outdoor adventure realm. Give her a follow @AgandAdventure on Facebook and Instagram.
