We are very fortunate to say our campus’ chapter of Her Campus has grown exponentially since the start of our chapter last year. The original members have grown to be like a little family on campus, and we are so excited to open our arms to welcome our new family members! Since we just posted behind the scenes of our executive board, we wanted to show our appreciation for our new members, too!
The coolest thing about Her Campus? We get to work with a bunch of girls who are from a variety of majors, not just journalism. We get to work with girls who are from all over the country, some even outside the U.S!
Here is a little bit more about our new family:

If there were a real world with celebrities, which celebrities would you pick to be in the house? I would pick Jonah Hill, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Channing Tatum, Rihanna, and Chris Pratt, because it would be cool to see how some of them would interact with each other, and I can see them being on a reality show in real life.
