November Pregame Sessions


Feature Friday: Malini Ray Reflection on Base Camp 2019!


Base Camp offers a unique leadership experience for Lehigh University fraternity and sorority members. Participants with different experiences and backgrounds will engage in a variety of exercises and activities, called to play the role of both the teacher and the learner at different times throughout the weekend. Base Camp will be a setting to foster authentic conversations about the reality of our fraternity and sorority community, while allowing participants to develop relationships and meaningful support networks to aid them through their present and future leadership challenges.

Meet Malini Ray, Chapter President of Zeta Tau Alpha!
Malini shares a reflection on her Base Camp experience from earlier this semester...
Going into Base Camp, I wasn't sure what to expect because I wasn't close with other chapter leaders or council exec members. But what I got out of it was more than I could have asked for. The first night, I found myself confiding in other chapter presidents because I already felt like a had a support system behind me right when I met them. We talked about the challenges we face as leaders and how they intersect with our identities, which was really special to me. As a woman of color in leadership, I can often find myself doubting my abilities or letting stereotypes get to me, but talking about these struggles helped me realize that my peers understand my identity and often share similar thoughts. 

Throughout the next few days, we went through fun team-building activities where I got to know everyone, and constructive reflection activities too. We played games, collaborated on ways we can improve Greek Life, and learned more about all three Greek councils. Throughout all of the problem-solving discussions and silly moments, I realized that the Greek Community means one thing to me: support. Whether you're a member of CGC, IFC, or Panhel, I know my fellow members always have my back. I can't wait for a successful year with everyone and am so grateful to the new OFSA staff for leading us through everything while juggling their transitions at Lehigh!

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. 

What has been your impression of the Lehigh Greek Community so far?

Thus far I am encouraged by the dynamism that I have come in contact with. They are incredibly bright, and comprehend what needs to be done to achieve continued success for Greek Life at Lehigh University.
