Early Fraternity Life and Career

Allison Aylward decided to attend VCU because she was drawn by its diversity, unique location and beautiful campus. She wanted a change in scenery and thought that Richmond would be a great city to spend four years of college; and she was right! She decided to study International Relations and Spanish and got started on her freshman year in the fall of 2006. After fall semester, she got a letter in the mail over winter break from a fraternity asking her if she'd consider joining their ranks. Her initial response was somewhat less than enthusiastic, but then she noticed that this was an honors fraternity and that there seemed to be more substance than your average fraternity. She came out for Rush Week in Spring 2007 and successfully completed the initiate program. She was inducted as a brother in Spring 2007.

Other Interesting Facts

  • Studied abroad for the Fall 2008 semester in Salamanca, Spain. She had the opportunity to travel all around Spain, spend Thanksgiving with friends in Istanbul, Turkey and experience the beautiful city of Paris. She also spent some time literally hiking around Oporto, Portugal and spent 12 wonderful days in Ireland. The highlight of the Ireland trip was travelling to Kilkenny and Claire, where Allison's ancestors orginated. Spending Christmas in Dublin was pretty awesome too!
  • She plans to get her Master's degree in either Comparative Ethnic Conflict or Developmental Politics. Allison would like to work with DHS, the UN or any other NGO that will allow her to travel around the world.
  • She speaks Spanish fluently and is currently learning Russian. Говарю немножка по-русски!
  • Allison is from Maryland and is a proud Terps fan--MARYLAND WILL WIN! Also, ask her about steamed Maryland Blues and she will show you how to make the best steamed crabs you've ever had. Likewise, she grew up in the DC Metro area and loves DC!
  • Allison's dream car when she actually makes money is a 1964 Aston Martin and she doesn't care what the Top Gear guys say :p
