I will be interviewing Isabella Fiorita, president of Alpha Phi, a Greek chapter of around 70 women at Lafayette College. As a member of Alpha Phi, I know Bella as president, but I also knew Bella before either of us joined Alpha Phi. Isabella is only 21, and has a great deal of responsibility. In her position, she at times is held responsible for the actions of collective group of 80 or so of her peers. No matter the age being the authority figure for that many people is difficult.
Isabella’s term as president is coming to an end and within the next two months a new president of the chapter will be elected. This makes it a perfect time to talk to Isabella about her experience in the position. I have always wondered what inspired her to run for the position in the first place, and over the course of the past year how has she think the position has changed her.
Some potential questions:
What characteristics do you think a good leader requires?
What characteristics do you think a good leader should have?
What is the greatest challenge you face regarding be an authority figure, for both your friends and peers?
Do you think young people can make good leaders?
Over the course of the last year how does she think the position has impacted you?
Would do it all again if you could?
