This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St. John's chapter.

Name: Melissa Betts

Sorority: Theta Phi Alpha

Year: Junior

Major: Psychology 

When and Why did you join greek life? I wanted to become more involved in school and on campus, I was a commuter so I wanted to meet new people.

What event are you most excited for?My favorite part is a tie between tug and lipsync! I have done tug for the past two years and love it.

How was greek life impacted your college experience?It brought me out of my shell, it got me in contact with school adminstrators, and it connected me with my peers on campus and the alumni of my organization

What is the biggest challenge for your organization during Greek Week? I believe the biggest challenge we face is chapter wide participation and attendance.  With a chapter total of 68 sisters, it can be difficult to have everyone present at the same time, which is vital during such a busy time for Greek Life.

What sets your org apart from the rest? Theta Phi Alpha Fraternity prides ourselves in our members.  Our chapter is known for diversity, dedication and women whom excel in leadership both on campus and after graduation.
