Being Greek means to Maggie: Membership makes you part of something much bigger than yourself. It means you’ll engage in a constant pursuit of bettering yourself and lifting up those around you to do the same. When it’s done well, membership makes us better people by providing values and standards to be change-makers, advocates, and those that push our people and communities to new heights.

Favorite Quote: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin

Being apart of Fraternity and Sorority Life means to Rebecca: It means being a member of a siblinghood that lifts you up and encourages you to grow. You have opportunities to become a leader and to create the changes you want to see in the community. As a queer person who is part of Greek life, I will always promote an atmosphere that values tolerance, diversity, unity, and trust.

Being apart of Fraternity and Sorority Life means to Cristian: As a fraternity man, I hope that I am able to make an impact and support our students who are looking for leadership opportunities, values that drive their actions, and a community away from home to create change within their communities. As a biracial man working in higher education, I hope to continue to support our students of color through their fraternal experience.
