Every week, we choose one student in Georgia Southern’s Greek community who exemplifies Greek ideals. It is important to us that we celebrate the great people who show off their talents and build us up. This week, our Greek Of The Week is Macy Reeves. She is a junior, a psychology major with minors in sociology and religious studies and a sister of Delta Phi Epsilon.
Reeves joined Delta Phi Epsilon in the spring of 2013 and has worked to become an active member of our Greek community and of Georgia Southern University ever since. In her freshman year, Reeves was chosen to be a Georgia Southern Lead Scholar. She was a recruitment counselor during the last Panhellenic Formal Recruitment and is a Diversity Peer Educator with the Multicultural Student Center. Along with all of her commitments, Reeves also works at the Russell Union as a desk assistant.
Even with her busy schedule outside of DPhiE, Reeves still remains an active sister within her organization. She has served as public relations coordinator, historian, and risk management coordinator. She also is a regular contributor to her chapter’s blog , Sweet, Southern, and DPhiE.
When asked what her favorite part of being a recruitment counselor is, Macy responded, “Watching the girls fall in love with a house and a sisterhood that I knew loved them back!”
Reeves says that she decided to become a sorority woman because she wanted to make difference.The Gamma Omicron chapter of DPhiE specifically spoke to her because she “saw potential for us to change the campus.” Reeves is also very passionate about her sorority's three philanthropies, specifically ANAD -- which stands for Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. When asked why ANAD is special to her she said that, “the concept of a sisterhood whose intentions is to promote the wellness of ourselves and others amazed me."
After graduation, Reeves hopes to use her psychology degree to work for a social media company, and she is currently pursuing a public relations internship with Google. So, thank you, Macy Reeves for everything you do. Here at The Odyssey, we wish you the best of luck and encourage you to keep exemplifying our values!
