to that stage.

How has working with such a large charity helped you as the
Internal Philanthropy chair?
I was involved in a service league in high school. That is where my
passion for community involvement began. I personally believe
that if you have a true passion for something then no matter what
challenges present themselves, you will be able to tackle those
challenges. The community involvement helped me to identify
a passion and gave me the tools to see what a successful program
looks like and the hard work it takes to put on a philanthropy event.

What do you guys have planned for the fall?
In the fall we mostly participate in the philanthropies that the
Panhellenic community puts on, in addition to, planning our
philanthropy “Beta Bring It On”. Our philanthropy requires many
weeks of planning and getting everything organized as it is an
absolutely huge event.
