STUDENT QUOTES Keeton Clounch Phi Mu Greek life has made my time at UNA some of the best years of my life! I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and memories I will never forget. My sorority has introduced me to people who have helped me get more involved on campus, and who encourage me to be my best self. I could not be more thankful for all of the wonderful friends my sisterhood has introduced me to. My biggest piece of advice for anyone searching for wonderful friends who will be there for you no matter what- go Greek!
Garrett Dodd Alpha Sigma Phi I’ve met a great group of guys that I’ll continue being friends with through and after college. I’ve learned to manage time better with school, work, and my fraternity.
Grace Ellis Alpha Gamma Delta I have found some of my best friends that will definitely be in my wedding because of their selfless and loving characters. I also get to escape the stress of college and collegiate soccer by involving myself in clubs such as Alpha Gam. I get to learn how to manage friendships with conflict, build a community built on participation, and so much more.
Tyler Cochran Phi Gamma Delta Greek Life has improved my ability to communicate, be a successful leader, work as a team towards a goal, and many more. All of which I will be able to use in my professional and personal life.
Shanise Allen Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Greek life has impacted my life in many ways such as making life long connections and growing in leadership positions. I love having a group of women that I can call my sisters and know that I can always count on to be there for me. Being apart of Greek life I have been able to hold office positions in my Chapter as well as the National Pan-Hellenic Council, with these leadership positions I have been able to grow in my communication skills and working with others. What I love most about being a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated is that the sisterhood and service doesn’t stop after college, it’s a lifelong commitment.
STUDENT QUOTES Bethany Belue Zeta Tau Alpha Joining Greek life as a junior was definitely a unique experience, but I’ve loved every minute of it! I’ve been able to grow in confidence and build relationships with so many people I would’ve never met. One of my favorite things I’ve been able to help out with is our Service Committee. I love that Greek life has given me the opportunity to give back to our community and those who are in need. We have the ability to make a huge impact on people’s lives!
Alex Strickland Kappa Sigma Being a brother of Kappa Sigma has made me more responsible, make friends for a lifetime, and grow as a gentleman.
Josh Corbin Lambda Sigma Phi Greek life has given me the opportunity to learn how to get along with others in an organization. Specific to my Greek organization, it has given me the opportunity to grow in my faith and to be apart of a group of guys that all hold that principle foremost in their life and it’s just really cool to be apart of a group like that. It has grown my leadership skills and my ability to take ownership of whatever I’m doing. All of these skills I have applied in my current job and will certainly apply to my role in the workforce going forward.
Alexa Scott Sigma Alpha Iota It has impacted me positively. I have gained a lot of friendships and have developed leadership skills. These skills have helped me to grow as a person and be more outgoing. I have gained officer roles within my organizations and honors through FSL.
