Q: What is your degree? What do you hope to do with that?
A: I'm majoring in marketing and management with a Spanish minor. My dream is to work in the marketing or human resources department for a large non-profit organization, like the Ronald McDonald House or St. Jude's!
Q: Why did you go Greek?
A: I decided to go Greek because I was looking for a solid support system of confident women who build each other up. Being in Greek life at Iowa State has given me so many incredible role models and opportunities, and I wouldn't be the woman I am today if I hadn't gone Greek.
Q: What does being a Panhellenic Woman mean to you and what's your favorite part of being in a sorority?
A: For me, being a Panhellenic woman means that I am surrounded by inspirational women in different chapters who challenge me to be the best version of myself by implementing their chapter's values into their daily lives, allowing for me to learn from them and their experiences. I know that I have a solid support system from the entire Greek community, because it is like a family.
Q: Who do you admire most in life? or Who do you trust and depend on?
A: The two people I depend on are the women in my Diamond Family, my big and little. These two women are my best friends, role models, and they inspire me to challenge myself daily. They are there for me on the best days to celebrate my successes, and are there to support me on the tough days. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without these two.
Q: If I held a mirror up to your face, what would you see?
A: I would hope I would always see a smile. I am so incredibly blessed to have a wonderful family, a major I love, goals for the future I am passionate about, and the best friends a girl could ask for. Life is a blessing, and I strive to live everyday to the fullest.
Q: How do you feel about being chosen for Greek of the Week?
A: I'm honored. This community has changed my life, and I don't know where I would be if I wasn't Greek. I have been given opportunities to better myself through positions that have helped me determine what I want to do for the rest of my life, I've been painted in house paint and performed for the school I love, and I have found my future bridesmaids. This community has the power to change lives, and I want to constantly give back to the community that has given me so much.
