1. What is your favorite part about being on Panhellenic Council?
Panhellenic opens the doors to allow you to become friends with other women not in your chapter. It is so much fun getting to know the women of our community and you also get to learn so much from them.
2. What is your favorite thing about Clemson University?
I am in love with traditions surrounding our university. There is so much history and tradition with our university that many students do not know about. I love showing others about the many traditions here at Clemson and why they are so important.
3. What do you do as Panhellenic’s president?
I am responsible for leading and representing the Panhellenic community. That includes increasing morale, attending meetings, increasing visibility, and providing opportunities for the members of our community as a whole. It is a difficult job but one that I find incredibly rewarding.
4. What made you join Greek Life?
I come from a long line of Greek women who always talked about their sorority and their sorority sisters. I wanted a bond with a group of smart, dedicated, and fun women just like my mother and her sisters. It also was a great way to get involved on campus and give back to the Clemson community.
5. What is your favorite Clemson tradition?
My favorite tradition is the Clemson University Ring Ceremony. The whole night is very special to me and the tradition behind the ring is incredible. I hope that every student at Clemson will participate in the ceremony and get to experience the magnificence of the ring.
6. Why do you recommend going Greek?
Greek is a wonderful way get involved on campus and to find a great group of friends that will go beyond your four year college experience. You also have the opportunity to participate in philanthropy events to raise money for different causes across the country . There is always a support team to help you with your academics to ensure your success here at Clemson. You also get to have social events with other chapters of the Greek community. Greek is an incredible experience, one I would recommend to everyone.
