Lives In House: not yet
Q) Why did you join ACACIA?
I joined because I came over with a friend and seemed to click with everyone in the house. I was very surprised to come across a fraternity where everyone was actually cool people and didn’t wear popped collars. Also, I just transferred and everyone was so welcoming to me and I felt like this was the place I belonged on campus.
Q) What is your favorite memory of the fraternity?
The I-Party was a lot of fun, but I can’t just think of one moment. Everytime I come over, something is going on and it always seems to turn into an adventure of some sort.
Q) What kind of influence has ACACIA had on your life?
It has taught me how to be more of a team player and has given me a better understanding of what exactly it means to be one.
Q) What are your plans after graduation?
I’m gonna try to move somewhere else, maybe California or NYC and make a go of an acting/writing career. I also have always wanted to be an English teacher overseas, so I may give that a shot too.
