Jacob Colquhoun
IFC President
Fraternity and Sorority Life
“The past two years I’ve had the pleasure of being a student leader in the
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The experience that I have gained from
the professionals in the office is one of a kind. Everyone that works there has
genuine care for their jobs as well as the students that they work with on a
day-to-day basis. I could not see myself being the best leader I can be
anywhere else but in this office. I look forward to a few more years of not
only great working relationships, but great personal ones as well.”
Krystal Vielman
Greek Council President
Fraternity and Sorority Life
“After the halt in the Spring of 2013, I decided that if things were going to
change, the way to start was to be more involved with the office and the
people that worked there. After beginning to really get involved with my
organization as well as my council, I gained more exposure to the office and
all it has to offer. The relationships I've built within OFSL has motivated me
to be a better leader, exposing me to all different kinds of people with strong
personalities I may have never been exposed to. I've enjoyed being a part of
the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and would definitely encourage
others to stop by and experience what it really has to offer.”
