Why did you decide to pursue a career in fraternity and sorority affairs?
The reason I decided to pursue a career in fraternity and sorority affairs is to positively impact the students. When you look at the landscape of collegiate campuses and where our leaders come from, many of our leaders come from organizations both fraternal in nature and non-fraternal. While navigating their collegiate journey apart of these organizations, they are groomed to be leaders not because they are in an organization but because they decided to take the risk of being a part of something that is bigger than themselves. With that being said, I feel a sense of duty to assist our young leaders to avoid the pitfalls that I may have experienced or I have learned to avoid. As a fraternity man, I can empathize the journey of those who are aligned with such organizations, so this is my chance to practice latter altruism for the next generation of leaders.

What do you hope to do during your time at Lehigh University?
My time at Lehigh is in its infancy; however, I hope to be able to grow tremendously as I am here. I expect growth both professionally and personally, and to embark on the path that I have envisioned for myself. Growth in these areas of my life will only lead to me becoming a better version of myself undergoing a metamorphosis that I could not have undergone if I was not at Lehigh.
