People think that Greek life is superficial, or only about partying but it’s not. It’s business meetings and planning fundraisers, and collaborating with other clubs. The whole point of it is philanthropy and helping others.

You’re not always going to have win after win after win. The biggest thing is you have to do your job. We win or we lose as a team, but everyone has to do their job as a team.

Greek life immediately felt like home. At the end of the day, it’s a true brotherhood. This is my family.

I woke up on May 1, the decision day, and put on a Fitchburg State sweatshirt. I felt in my heart that this was where I was supposed to be.

One of my best friends came here the year before me, and then Coach (Dean) Fuller ended up giving me a call and invited me to check it out. I met the team and loved the campus.

From the very beginning I loved the opportunity to get to know students and their concerns, and to give voice to their concerns in a productive way.

I really learned that I love to give back when I was at Fitchburg State. It stuck with me, and I’ve continued giving back in my hometown. Fitchburg State University really changed my life.

I had never led something before. This was the first time that people were looking at me, and I had to be in charge. That will help in the classroom, and it was the first step out of my comfort zone.

When you graduate, you don’t just have a degree. I made sure those four years of growth weren’t just academic growth.

I came to Fitchburg State not knowing anyone except for my freshman year roommate. I’ve met lots and lots of people. There is not a time I walk across campus and don't see someone that I know, and I have both Dance Club and Greek life to thank for that.
