Greek of the Week: Chris Stockton

Chris Stockton is a Duncan, OK native. He is a senior, graduating in May with a bachelors degree in finance and a bachelors degree in management.   Stockton is a proud member of Phi Gamma Delta and has served his chapter in many ways. He has held numerous roles within his chapter, including serving on the exec board as Historian his sophomore year. “This allowed me to be responsible for all of the rituals and traditions of the fraternity and also coordinate the involvement points system,” Stockton said.      

Stockton has also contributed greatly to the Greek community as a whole. He has helped with many philanthropies and also worked with Ival Gregory on some initiatives to better the Greek community.   

Stockton has also had the opportunity to be very involved on campus during his four years as a student. “My goal was to not only get involved in opportunities on campus, but also to grow them as much as possible,” Stockton said. He was in Presidents Leadership Council, the coordinator of the Freshmen Representative Council, Student Alumni Board, Student Government Association Senator and Executive, a small group leader for KLife Ministries, and for the past two years he has been the Executive Director for OSU's largest student-philanthropy, Dance Marathon.  

Stockton loves sports. He enjoys watching them, playing them, talking about them, and everything in between. He loves to try new kinds of foods and in his spare time he plays a good amount of XBox and reads leadership books. He also loves helping people. “It has become a passion of mine that developed at Oklahoma State. I spend so much time doing philanthropic things because it gives me the opportunity to make an impact in people's lives.”   

Stockton loves bragging about people. He attributes all of the success he has been able to see in college to those around him. He loves surrounding himself with smarter, funnier, and more motivated people because that inspires him to be better. Stockton claims that Dance Marathon has seen so much success in a crazy short amount of time because of the team that he has had the opportunity to spend time with everyday. “This is an organization that means so much to me because it benefits the Children's Miracle Network, but even-more-so, because of the people that I have been able to work with and develop friendships with,” Stockton said.

Stockton is excited about Dance Marathon and the people that are changing kids lives everyday. After Stockton graduates, he will move to Houston, TX, as a U.S. Marketing and West Coast Gas Pricing Intern for Phillips 66.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
