Senior of the Week May 3rd - May 10th

The amazing Senior of the Week is...

Christine Cameron!!!

Hometown: La Crescenta, CA

Year you joined sorority and pledge class: Fall 2008, Beta Upsilon J

Major: Film & Media Studies

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

            My favorite involvement in Gamma Phi has been all the sisterhood activities! I love watching all the sports, supporting sisters participating in philanthropies, watching Songfest practice, making trips to Yogurtland, etc. It’s nice to have a group of girls that I can just hang out with and have a good time.

What are your post-graduation plans?

            After graduation I plan on staying in Irvine and finding a job. As a film major I really want to work on productions, and I’d like to start out by working for Disneyland and then perhaps moving on to work for Disney studios. I also have an invitation to work on a production in Florida with a friend of my Dad, who happens to be a producer!

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

            I did not really know what to expect at first, I had heard about sororities over the summer before UCI from a friend who is a Kappa Alpha Theta at UC San Diego. I listened to her tell me about how she made such awesome friends, and I really wanted that experience as well. I got way more than I expected, I have made lifelong friends and met people that have changed my life. Joining Gamma Phi was the best thing that could happen to me.

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

            I will definitely take more confidence with me as I move into my place in the working world. I know I have so many people that will support me no matter what I want to do, and I know they will be there for me when times are hard. It is the strength of my friends that gives me strength and confidence to be myself and succeed.

What advice would you give to your younger sisters?

            My advice would be to go to as many Gamma Phi activities as you can! Lately I have been pretty busy, and I wish I had more time at UCI to stay in the chapter and get more involved! Sounds cliché, but time goes by really really fast and you gotta get it while its there in front of you!
