BETA THETA PI - VICE PRESIDENT OF MEMBER EDUCATION
Founded at nine o'clock on the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1839 at Miami University, Beta Theta Pi is one of the nation's oldest and most revered greek fraternities. Since its founding Beta, as it is often known, has set a number of greek firsts including being first to publish a public constitution, first to adopt a minimum GPA of 2.8, and first to establish a chapter west of the Mississippi River. 

In 2011 Beta continued its long standing tradition of expansion by founding a new colony at Chapman University where, after a multi-week selection process, I had the opportunity to become a Founding Father and member of the fraternity. Over the next four years I served in a number of roles within the chapter including Vice President of Member Education for the 2014 calendar year. During this time I developed a new curriculum for our colony that won the Outstanding New Member Education Program Award and helped us earn full chapter designation at the 175th Annual Convention in Oxford, Ohio.

Chapman University has a long standing legacy of supporting the unique and varied interests of its student, staff, and faculty populations. During my time at Chapman I was very fortunate to be able to identify colleagues who were interested in working with me on developing two new distinct offerings for the community, TEA NextGen @ Chapman University and Club 55. 

TEA NextGen is a university chapter of the Themed Entertainment Association for Chapman students focusing on building professional development opportunities for those interested in the field of location based entertainment. 

Club 55 is the university's Disney club and is today one of the largest organizations at the university with more than 200 registered members. The group works largely with new students to use a widespread adoration for the Walt Disney Company as a community building touchstone while also providing a release from the fast paced world of education and professional development opportunities for those interested in working for the mouse.
