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 from 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.

The second WICKED was held in Kansas City, Missouri in 2001. Besides Brothers from the Beta, Gamma Sigma, and Gamma Phi chapters, John Woods, Mike Noll, Britt Marder, Jen Spiers, and Drew Volturo also attended.

The third WICKED was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2002 with Brothers from Beta, Gamma Sigma, Gamma Phi, Delta Iota, Delta Phi, and Delta Psi in attendance.

WICKED: Today

Every WICKED conference is always a little different than the year before. Every WICKED has an event that highlights Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship. Most WICKED events have a round table discussion in which ideas can be thrown back and forth between Brothers. The location is always changing because the Southwest Region is so spread out. The delegates often try to pick a place that is inconvenient for everyone.

The delegates meet online (usally via a messenger service like AIM) to plan the event.

The Tripod

At every WICKED three separate events are held to highlight each leg of the tripod.

  • 2008 - Scholarship: Trip to the Palace of the Governors, a museum that highlights the history of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Leadership: Volunteering at a nursing home by talking with the elderly. Fellowship: Dance party.
