Congratulations to our Greek Seniors! The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life would like to thank its three graduating student interns and two graduate assistants for their hard work over the past two years, as well as congratulate the graduating class of 2013! You all have made a lasting impression on our community and we will miss you all next year! Best of luck in all of your future endeavors, but remember that you always have a home at OFSL! Here’s some insight on the OFSL staff’s favorite memories from working in the office! Gregory Brennan - “My favorite office memory was planning the 2013 Emerging Greek Leaders Conference. I learned a lot about communicating well with others, coordinating different schedules and needs of speakers, and how to properly plan an event. The experience will definitely help me in my future endeavors.” Kylie Corcoran - “There are so many memories and moments to be proud of from my time with OFSL. From IFC meetings on Tuesday nights, to the crazy emotions and planning that goes in the Panhellenic Recruitment, I didn’t expect to be this sad to leave this community. I’ve enjoyed dancing all night at HuskyTHON, driving vans on two Greek Alternative Breaks, and simple drop-ins from the students. I want to wish the graduating seniors best of luck in their future endeavors, an know that the returning students will continue to push the community to higher levels of excellence.” Jessica Emig - “Our students. Whether it was interacting with our student interns and reading their blog posts or co-coordinating a conference for our emerging leaders, I appreciated the opportunity to always put students first. Within the organizations that I advise, my students never ceased to amaze me with their ingenuity, passion, and commitment. Without fail, they always reminded me why I entered the field of Student Affairs. From dedicating their time and efforts to something bigger than themselves to teaching me life lessons to contributing to my growth and development as a professional, I cannot express my gratitude for everything that the students have done for me. I will never forget the memories we made and the experiences we shared.”

Graduating OFSL Staff: Kylie Corcoran, Romy Garcia, Gregory Brennan, Jessica Emig, Kaitlin Latham

Romy Garcia - “I have so many memorable times here in the office but I think one of my favorite parts of working at the OFSL has to be getting to know all of the staff members, especially the other interns and learning from each other. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work alongside some amazing people.” Kaitlin Latham - “I am so grateful for my experience working in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. I started out as a quiet, introverted new addition to the OFSL staff and have worked hard to develop my leadership skills and to become a valued leader not only in this office, but within the Greek community as a whole. I very much enjoyed working on the newsletter each month, as it highlights the amazing accomplishments of my peers in the Greek community. I take pride in the fact that I joined a community of people who hold themselves to a higher standard, and the newsletter is way to show off the positive aspects of Greek Life and to demonstrate to the rest of UConn all of the great things that Greeks have to offer! I have learned so much from every staff member and student intern in this office, and while I am saddened by the fact that almost all of us are graduating from UConn this spring, I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us next!”
