Brianna Mauk (born June 15) is an Active Member of Epsilon Eta Chapter (36) at Eastern Kentucky University.

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Brianna was first attracted to Eastern because of its beautiful campus, but their Education and English departments were also reknown across the country. Eastern Kentucky University's friendly and inviting atmosphere was the ultimate reason she chose the school over Morehead, UK, or Northern. She discovered Phi Sigma Pi on her way back from a night class, and the Brothers having fun at Rush encouraged her to find out more about them. It turned out that their strong emphasis on both academics and fellowship (much like Eastern's college campus) was the perfect atmosphere for her.

Besides Phi Sigma Pi, Brianna has been a member of the EKU Marching Colonels for two years (playing trumpet). She writes a few articles a year for Eastern's Yearbook (The Milestone) and has plans with her advisor to start a Technical Writing fraternity chapter on campus.

Collegiate Years at Epsilon Eta Chapter

I am currently the Chapter President, and have been in the position since Spring 2009. It is a very challenging role, especially since our Chapter is still considered a 'toddler.' I absolutely love encouraging my Chapter to be the best they can be, because boosting morale seems to elicit the best events and ceremonies.

Before I was Chapter President, I served as Service Chair. In this position, my committee and I planned numerous events: a Halloween Carnival for the children of non-traditional students, a Salvation Army stocking drive, and the FreeRice campaign, to name a few.

I was voted by Epsilon Eta as the alternate for the 2009 National Convention (and my Big was the Delegate!) This was my first convention, and it was absolutely amazing. I told my family that I would forego my Spring Break plans this year if it meant I could go to National Convention again.

Bigs and Littles

Brianna's big is Miranda Westbrook. From the first night of Informationals my Initiate semester, Miranda and I developed a very special bond. She was available to answer any questions I had at any time (even though our Chapter currently did not have a 'Rush Buddies' system). Since we had such close contact, I was thrilled to find that she was my Big. She has continued to mentor me througout my positions in the Chapter, and has always been available for advice and encouragement. I truly think that our Chapter would not be the same without her! Even though she has graduated, hopefully Miranda will be back at EKU often!

Brianna's little is Steven Crown.
