4. Why did you chose Delta Zeta:

I chose DZ because these girls I could tell were going to be my best friends and I was right. Everyone is so different but we all come together and are very close. I love the strong sisterhood in the house and the passion everyone has for Delta Zeta. I truly have become a better person in this chapter not and I would trade my experience in DZ for anything in the world.

 

5. Favorite Delta Zeta Memory:

My favorite Delta Zeta memory is when I got both my little sisters, Alissa and Jacque. I love them both so much and I was so excited when I found out I was going to be their Big Sister. I feel like the ultimate dream is to eventually have littles and I'm so lucky to have two amazingsisters that I can call little.

 

6. Favorite memory at San Jose State University:

My favorite memory at San Jose State was heading the Student Organization Leadership Conference. I was in charge of making sure all 1300 people showed up and managed 100 volunteers for the day of. It was so exciting to see everything put together and I was really proud of what I accomplished. I'm never going to forget that feeling and experience.

 

7. Best lesson Delta Zeta has taught you:

That you can do anything. Everything I accomplished here at San Jose State, running a conference with 1500 attendees, being on Exec and managing 12 programming members, along with balancing school, friendship, relationships and work has taught me that there's nothing I can't handle in the real world because I put everything I have in to these years and I accomplished so much.

 

8. Advice you wish you knew before starting college/sorority membership:

Life is short. Experience everything and regret nothing. College is going to come and go to fast for you to wait at all to experience something you have an interest in. Also, take positions. Each position has given me so much. I don't understand why you wouldn't take such amazing opportunities if they are offered to you.

 

9. What are your future plans?

I want to be a Vice President of Marketing. My true passion in life is to inspire and motivate people to get excited with what they do and to do more.

 

10. What role has Delta Zeta played in your future? What skills have you gained? How will you be involved as an alumna?

I believe I will be a leader in any job I get offered which will get me closer to my dream job and that is because of my experience in Delta Zeta. I have gained managing skills, event planning skills, leadership skills, academic knowledge, etc from being in DZ. I am confident of my future. I will always find some way to be part of Delta Zeta whether it be helping with recruitment, attending alumni events, being an advisor, donating supplies and money, anything I could give back to the house I would do.
