Alexis decided to join a sorority the second semester of her freshman year through continuous open bidding (COB). She wanted to get involved on campus but didn鈥檛 want to go through formal recruitment, postponing her bid so she could learn to juggle college life first. 鈥淟ittle did I know though how big of an impact going Greek would have on me and made the person I am today,鈥� Alexis said. 鈥淚 remember being a shy and timid girl who barely left her dorm room and only hung out with a couple people that I knew from high school. You can ask anyone who knew me then versus now, I鈥檝e grown and stepped outside of my comfort zone in more ways than I though possible because I gained all of these sisters and an amazing advisor who saw and continues to see Sonics potential in me even when I鈥檓 not able to see it.鈥�

Her favorite thing about being in a sorority is making memories with her closest friends. 鈥淏eing in a sorority has given me so many leadership opportunities straight from the start that I would鈥檝e honestly never seen myself hold. For my own chapter, I鈥檝e been in charge of sisterhood, alumnae relations, banner chairwoman, and I鈥檝e held an executive council position for two terms. I step in where I鈥檓 needed and finally took the step to be on Panhellenic Council this year. All of these opportunities have given me the chance to win New Member of the year in 2019 and Greek Woman of the year in 2020.鈥�

When asked who inspires her, Alexis named our Friday Feature from last week, Reagan Heppner. 鈥淣ot only was she my director as a AV抖阴 Camp counselor and as a member of CAB, but she鈥檚 been a very good friend. Reagan is one of the most selfless, genuine people I have ever met. She is so intentional and servant-hearted in everything that she does.
