After graduating, Kayla decided to attend Virginia Commonwealth University to study Mass Communication, though she later changed her major to English. Kayla found Phi Sigma Pi in the Spring of 2008 as a second semester Freshman, and liked its unique balance of service and social aspects. She brought her best friend Alisha Kellam to rush with her, and they became members of the Upsilon class that spring. While an Initiate, she served on the Upsilon class Service Committee with Phillip Vaughan. Though Kayla became very ill toward the end of her Initiate period, she managed to successfully complete all the requirements of Alpha Sigma's Initiate program, including the National Exam. On April 20, 2008, she and the rest of her class were inducted as Brothers.
