Why did you decide to pursue a career in fraternity and sorority affairs?
When
I joined Delta Tau Delta, it was the first time I was ever asked to
reflect on my values and how they would impact my undergraduate
experience. I soon got very involved on campus in areas such as new
student programming, LGBTQ+ awareness, and the larger fraternity and
sorority community. It is my hope to help fraternities and sororities
realize the importance of being values-based organizations in order to
help further develop their members.
What do you hope to do during your time at Lehigh University?
What do you hope to do during your time at Lehigh University?
While
at Lehigh I want to work with as many fraternity and sorority members
as possible. However, I really hope to work with students outside of the
fraternity and sorority community as well, specifically first-year
students. This semester I'll be facilitating one of the evoLUtion
seminars and am really looking forward to that experience!
What has been your impression of the Lehigh Greek Community so far?
Everyone
is so passionate about what they do, whether that be research for a
class, being involved in other student organizations on campus,
community service, etc. I am impressed over and over again when I meet
with students from our fraternity and sorority community and hear about
everything they do in addition to their chapter membership.
