Lainey Galicia, a freshman from Clover, SC, has began her career as an anthropology and psychology major with a minor in crime, law and society. Â But this immense workload has not stopped her from getting involved on campus and dancing for the kids of Medical University of South Carolina’s children’s hospital. Â Here’s a little more about this member of the 2020 class.
Lexi French:Â What are three things we should know about you?
Lainey Galicia: I love dogs, I am the fourth of my family to attend CofC, I think every day should be Taco Tuesday.
LF: What are three things you can’t live without?
LG: Dogs, Tacos, Family.
LF: Favorite spot on campus?
LG: Cistern Yard.
LF:Â Favorite thing to do in Charleston?
LG: I love to walk down to the battery or to waterfront park and shop/window shop down King Street.
LF:Â You’re involved with Greek Life, what is that like?
LG: A sorority is a huge family where everyone is there for you. I love every sister and love what our values are. Phi Mu has introduced me to so many people and so many opportunities all within this first year, and I couldn’t have had a better first year without it.
LF: What’s your favorite part of your year so far in Charleston?
LG: Dance Marathon with my sorority, I loved dancing with my sisters and acting crazy all for the kids.
LF: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
LG: I would go to New York. Most of my family lives on Long Island and every time I visit I wish I could stay forever. I love the atmosphere and love that family is there. I also would love to just spend time in Manhattan and just be an 18-year-old exploring a famous city/state.
