"I am from the "little apple" of Michigan (Brooklyn), and my hometown has about two stoplights. As you can imagine, the transition to college was going to be an adventure. I had an incredible orientation leader who talked about Greek Life influenced her life. That fall of my freshman year I took her advice and participated in Formal Recruitment. Being Greek is truly a unique experience! I took a chance and it was one of the best first steps I made as a Bronco here at WMU!"

"I joined a fraternity after being an orientation student leader. I joined my sophomore year, but I didn't feel like I missed out at all. My first year at Western, even though I was involved in a couple student organizations, I didn't feel connected to the university. A fellow orientation leader brought me to his chapter house and introduced me to the men I now call my brothers. My brothers hold me accountable for my actions. If I didn't have them, I don't think I would push myself as hard to make them all proud. I am a lifetime member. After I graduate, I will still be involved in this chapter. I know I will be able to positively influence all the people who come after me, as the alumni of my chapter have influenced my life."
