“My decision to go Greek and study abroad align almost perfectly. I wanted to gain a deeper appreciation for the world and people around me all while bettering myself. Both of these experiences have shaped me into the person I am and strive to be each and every day. I have found a purpose behind everything I do in life and the strength to not let my fears hold me back from new experiences. My life has forever been changed by these experiences and I am eternally thankful.”

Kayla Geistman, Western Kentucky University, Sigma Kappa - Epsilon Zeta Chapter Summer in Scotland - 2017

SERVICE The CIS Abroad Greek Life Scholarship is intended for students in a Greek organization who need help covering the cost of membership dues while abroad. In keeping with the philanthropic values of Greek Life organizations, recipients should plan to participate in at least one self-directed volunteer opportunity while abroad and produce content related to that experience.

BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD “I definitely see some parallels between my choices for going Greek and studying abroad. For starters, both decisions were made in the hopes of bettering myself and my future. Both experiences have created connections for me, all across the world. Through my sisters who live in different countries and states, other interns and students I have met in Australia, and my co-workers, I now have resources all around the globe. If I want to travel, take a cross country road trip, or even work in another country, I have great friends everywhere that can help me out. I expect these connections to last a lifetime and to help me an incredible amount in the future.”
