DELTA ZETA SORORITY
In my time at Clemson University, I have greatly valued being a member of Delta Zeta Sorority. Since I was a freshman, I’ve been able to serve in many positions such as Panhellenic Delegate, apparel designer, and social media lead. As Panhellenic delegate, I worked as the mediator of communication between Greek organizations, was responsible for good communication with national agencies, and took part in Panhellenic committees. One of my duties was serving on the Panhellenic Philanthropy committee where I coordinated, planed, and executed philanthropic events for the greater Clemson community. Additionally, I was a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Panhellenic Representative, where I helped create initiatives to widen students’ knowledge on current issues on campus pertaining to race, sexuality, etc., worked to improve on Greek organizations becoming more welcoming to people of color, and conversed with organizations on campus facing DEI issues to learn how to best assist them.
CLEMSON CREW
Being a student athlete at Clemson has been a rewarding experience. As a part of my rowing experience, I've had the opportunity to take part in many out-of-state, well-known regattas, and place highly in these competitions. I have found incredible value in working towards a goal with a team, and learning how to perform in a competitive environment.

PI CHI
PANHELLENIC PI CHI
Recruitment is a process that takes place every year, in order to initiate new members into a sorority. As greek life is very large at Clemson, there is a demand for recruitment counselors or "pi chis" to help new members in the recruitment process. Having the ability to serve in this competitive role for two years, I have been able to help guide groups of girls through recruitment by organizing schedules, being an unbiased form of communication, and helping them adjust to college life. The role of becoming a support system, advisor, and role-model to incoming freshman has helped me develop leadership skills that will assist me in future endeavors.
BEADED BY MEG
Aligning with my passion for social media marketing and brand collaborations, I have had the opportunity to be a brand ambassador for the jewelry brand, Beaded by Meg. This has been an invaluable experience, as I have learned how to design graphics, create content, and communicate with brands.
