Discuss your favorite position/involvement you have had in Gamma Phi Beta.

Definitely being Public Relations Vice President!! It really allowed me to be creative and I got to be involved with many components of the chapter like socials, philanthropy and sports. It was a lot of work, but always rewarding to know that I help relay all of our achievements throughout our community!

What are your post-graduation plans?

I am currently in the process of applying for internships in the medical field. Within the following year I plan to apply for grad schools.

What did you expect out of the sorority when you joined? Were all those expectations fulfilled?

I came to Gamma Phi Beta expecting the find great sisters and  great college experience. I can truly say that I got that and more!

Describe something you will take with you from your undergraduate experience as a Gamma Phi Beta.

Gamma Phi Beta has really transformed me into the woman that I am today. I have gained “life skills” that will help me as I transition into my post-graduate life. I have also made amazing friends and memories that will stay with me long after I leave UCI.

What advice would you give to your younger sisters?

My advice would be to take advantage of any opportunities that come up! Whether that means holding a position or simply participating in a philanthropy, really make the effort to get involved. It helps you get to know your sisters better and those will be the times that you make your best memories in Gamma Phi Beta. I remember making the flower arrangements for recruitment, and regardless of how late it was we all had a great time hanging out with each other!
