Being President is a lot of work, but it is so rewarding seeing the positive changes that your chapter is making under your leadership. Q. What is the hardest and easiest part of being President? A.

What do you feel Greek life could do to change its image and what specifically could your chapter do? A. I think that Greek Life is sometimes negatively perceived, but is moving towards being more positive.I think that if we were to continue to reach out to the community and on campus those negative thoughts would go away. Q. What is one thing that you would tell someone that is non-Greek, on why being Greek is important? A. Being Greek is important because it gives you a sense of belonging on campus, gives you great leadership roles, and is just fun!
