Wofford College

I chaired the alumni relations committee and revolutionized the way alumni relations was done in Zeta Chapter. I created and managed four social media accounts (including a public Facebook group, private alumni Facebook group, a twitter account and an email address) for the chapter to maximize alumni interaction, communication, and transparency. I also drafted, printed, and distributed one newsletter each semester for alumni. The outcome of these accomplishments was a master chapter rating in branding and communications for Zeta Chapter by the Pi Kappa Phi national organization.

Wofford College

I researched and archived the lost history of the chapter's founding using the archives at Wofford College, using resources dating back to 1911. I created an archive to store this information for posterity, as well as compiled recruitment, retention, and other organizational statistics for future reference in this archive. Finally, I ushered in reforms in Chapter bylaws to hold future historians at a higher standard in terms of their record keeping.
