UNCW’s Fraternity and Sorority life is a very special thing to be a part of. Since Joining in the Spring of 2022 I have noticed so much positive change within myself and I’ve been able to witness the community grow so much as well. Delta Zeta has been a wonderful experience, the privilege of watching our girls lift each other up and be the very best versions of themselves has been amazing to see. I’m incomprehensibly honored to serve as President for such a dynamic organization whose members value and embody; friendship, loyalty, humor, selflessness, kindness, dedication, strength, and sisterhood. I’m blessed to be able to call these women my sisters and am so proud of everything we have done and will continue to accomplish.

Before coming to UNCW I never thought about sorority life. I was just excited about the college life. However, once I arrived on campus, I quickly saw how the college experience of those in sororities are enhanced. While I was a little too nervous to do the formal recruitment in my first semester, I decided to step out of my comfort zone last spring and do COB. Best decision I’ve ever made. I immediately felt overwhelmed by all the love and support of by Delta Zeta sisters. Over the past year I have met and come to know so many strong and powerful women who embodies our sorority’s core values. I am greatly honored to be recognized as president of such a dynamic organization whose members are made up of loving, warm-hearted, and funny ladies who support me even on my worst days. I am proud to call each member a sister and feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing group of women.
