Early Fraternity Life and Career
Rachel decided to attend West Chester University due to the proximity to her parents' home. Rachel's mother was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and wanted to stay near home. Rachel was also looking for a school to prepare her for her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher. During her first semester at WCU, Rachel had seen a flyer for Rush for Phi Sigma Pi while on campus with friend and Brother Megan Lawhead, but both realized that they did not meet the requirements for Rush at that time. Megan proceeded to Rush and become an Initiate in the Spring of '02, while Rachel rushed and became an Initiate in the Fall of '02.
Collegiate Years at Alpha Epsilon
After being inducted into the chapter, Rachel wasted no time becoming an integral part of Alpha Epsilon. Her first semester as a Brother, Rachel held the position of Finance Chair. This was the first semester that the chapter had a successful fundraising campaign, bringing in more than $1,000 in one semester.
The following semester, Fall '03, Rachel was elected to the executive board in the function of Treasurer. Rachel implemented the first actual budget, and the template was used for several years as an example for newly expanded chapters. This was the semester that Rachel pinned her first little Brother, Lauren Magnotta. This was also Rachel's first taste of PSP on the national level. She attended National Convention in Charlotte, as won proud to celebrate the Chapter's most recent Torchia win.
In the spring of '04, Rachel ran and was awarded the position of chapter VP. During this time, she planned Alpha Epsilon's annual date party, supervised all of the Brothers in chair positions, and took her second Little Brother, Marissa Levin.
In the summer of '04, Rachel also served as the chapter delegate for the Fraternity's Grand Chapter meeting. After National Council elections, Rachel applied for and was accepted on to the (now defunct) Membership Development Committee. She served on this committee until it was rolled into the larger National Development Committee, but continues to serve on the larger committee today.
During the fall of '04, Rachel did not hold any chapter positions, but continued to play a highly active role in the Fraternity. During this time period, she was awarded the first ever Tammy Mleziva Outstanding Brother award during Alpha Epsilon's yearly Founder's Day Formal in October. This is the second highest honor bestowed upon a chapter member besides the Chapter Service Key.
The spring of '05 brought student teaching and the culminating semester of Rachel's undergraduate career. While not listed as "locally" active, according to National headquarters, Rachel continued her tireless commitment to Alpha Epsilon. Rachel attended almost every chapter meeting, all ceremonies, and many social, service, and fund-raising events.
