Early Fraternity Life and Career

Alpha Omicron Pledge Class; Denise - bottom row, far right

Denise graduated from Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta, NJ and began attending West Chester University in Fall 2006. At the beginning of her sophomore year Denise was looking for a new activity to join and to make new friends, and she received a letter to rush for Phi Sigma Pi. She was hesitant at first but decided to try it out and was hooked. She participated in the rush events and was offered a bid to join the Fall 2007 Alpha Omicron pledge class. She eagerly took part in as many events as she could and got to know the fraternity and her pledge class more. She completed all of her requirements and was inducted at the end of the Fall 2007 semester along with 11 others in the "AO" class.
