Where the Road Begins...

I have never been a big fan of blogging until I went to college. However, I have quickly learned that everyone is searching for something and yearning to know more. So, I have decided to blog about my life and travels. Many of you reading this may have never met me but that's okay. I will start from the beginning...

As I, Stephen Dominy, walked across the stage to accept my diploma at Mercer University, mixed feelings and emotions came over me. I was leaving the place that I loved for four years with every fiber of my being to begin my life, career, and own reality of the world.

There would not be any more examinations of knowledge in materials for marketing or communications, at least for the year. Now, I would be making a place for myself and beginning to understand what it means to be a professional, even if I am working with college men. Yes, I am a fraternity consultant for Chi Phi Fraternity.

Many people that do know me understand my passion and desire to advance the fraternal values movement in some form or fashion. However, many did not expect me to go to work for a organization other than my own, Alpha Tau Omega. Well, I have come to learn that in life we are all given opportunities to make an impact and I felt that my calling at this point in my life would be to go to work with an organization that believes in all I do and can help bring an "outsider" perspective to the development and growth of the organization of dedicated men.

Also, graduate school is still in the plan but delayed for the time being. I am finding out that I am uncovering who I am as a person in Atlanta and want to find myself before starting the education process again. My undergraduate degree is a BBA in Marketing and Communications. However, I have decided in the last year and a half that I am planning to pursue my graduate and doctoral degrees in Higher Education focusing on leadership education and development.

Until that starts, I will be working with fraternity men across the country and making sure they are living the values and upholding the traditions set forth by the Chi Phi Fraternity.

Now that you know my background, I will share where I am at the present time.

I have been with Chi Phi since May 26, 2009. I feel so blessed to work with such a dynamic group of professionals to help young college men embrace understanding and maturity through education and involvement. I spend much of my time reading and developing educational programs in recruitment and officer training. I love what I do and look forward to my first visit. I begin traveling within the next few days and excited to see the United States through the eyes of a consultant.

More stories to come as I go through experiences... Thanks for reading.
