This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purdue chapter.

Name: MerrieBeth Cox
Year: Senior
Age: 21
Hometown: Roselle, IL
Activities: Golden Girl, Miss Purdue University, Zeta Tau Alpha
Interests: SPORTS! Hanging out and having fun with friends and family, dancing, watching football, anything and everything really!
Relationship status: Um… dating? I don’t know!

HC: What do you think about being Purdue’s Campus Cutie?
MC: I am honored! I think it is so cool! Thanks!

HC: What three words would your friends use to describe you?
MC: Outgoing, active, fun!

HC:What do you love most about being the Golden Girl and Miss Purdue?
MC: I love all the people I meet and connections I make. I especially love all the work I do with children and elders because they are so appreciative and they really make me feel like I am making a difference in people’s lives. I love performing too! There is nothing like 65,000 screaming fans to pump you up!
 
HC: You are a Zeta Tau Alpha. What do you like most about your house?
MC:  That we are each our own person and so many different girls get along and have fun together. I truly have sisters in this house, and I know when I hit rock bottom they are there for me and when I am at my peak they are there for me! They are a group of amazing girls and I couldn’t ask for anything better!
 
HC: What is a normal night out with your sisters like?
MC:  AMAZING! Dancing and singing and just having a great time with each other!
 
HC: What do you like to do in your free time?
MC: Hang out with my sisters and watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit! And play any sport!
 
HC:What do you look for in a guy?
MC: Someone that makes me laugh, is active and fun, and I can be myself around him 100 percent of the time; someone who doesn’t try to change me and is just happy to be with me. Someone who is willing to give and take and most importantly, gives me the feeling of safety and security, meaning nothing bad could ever happen when I am with him.
