WICKED: The Early Years
The Western Interchapter Conference on Knowledge, Education and Development (W.I.C.K.E.D.) was started in 2000 by Karen Cohick [Gamma Phi] with the help of Cullun Culp from [Gamma Sigma] and Nicole (Winters) Boegeman from [Beta]. Brothers from the three chapters, Beta, Gamma Sigma and Gamma Phi, came together and decided to create a regional event. At the 1999 [National Convention] in Columbus, Ohio, the idea of WICKED was born.
The first WICKED was held in St. Louis, Missouri in February of 2000. Thirty brothers from four chapters came and participated. One of the focal points of the conference was to work together to help facilitate the reactivation of [Alpha] Chapter. The WICKED attendees, with the help of their chapters, raised money to buy copies of the [Scholar's Province] to send to Alpha alumni in the hopes that they would help in the reactivation of the chapter at Central Missouri State.
