Christina M. Bober (born 07/11/1989) is an Alumni Member of the Beta Iota Chapter (Alpha Zeta class - #362) at The Ohio State University . She graduated on June 12, 2011 with a BA in History and currently lives near Green, OH.

Early Life

Christina was born in Columbus, OH at the Ohio State University Medical Center to parents, John and Nikki Bober. After only two years in Ohio, Christina's family moved to Kansas for her father's work, living shortly in Halstead before moving to Wichita. She lived in Wichita for 15 years, graduating from Wichita Southeast High School . Christina decided to attend Ohio State because her mother's family primarily lived in Ohio. Her family took trips to Ohio once a year to visit and she grew comfortable with the area. Coincidentally, Christina's father received a job offer in Akron, OH around the same time so the whole family moved to Ohio in the Fall of 2007.

Collegiate Years at Ohio State University

Christina began attending Ohio State in the Fall of 2007. She heard about Phi Sigma Pi through a recruitment email and attended informational meetings and recruitment events beginning the end of March 2008. Christina entered the Initiation Program in the Alpha Zeta class and was inducted late May/early June 2008.

Christina was very involved her first year and in the Spring election of 2009, ran with Emily Horne for Co-Rush Chairs and won. The 2009-2010 school year was quite busy for Christina and Emily when they brought in rush classes numbering close to 100.

Christina was elected president of the Beta Iota Chapter for the 2010-2011 school year.
