Early Fraternity Life and Career
Denise graduated from Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta, NJ June 2006 and began attending West Chester University in the fall. At the beginning of her sophomore year Denise was looking for a new activity to become involved and make some new friends. She received a letter stating she was eligible to rush Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity. She went to an information night and participated in the rush events and was offered a bid to join the Fall 2007 Alpha Omicron pledge class. Denise eagerly took part in as many events as she could and got to know the fraternity and her pledge class more. The Alpha Omicron class ran a hot dog delivery fundraiser, a pirate-themed educational scavenger hunt and social, and worked hard to prove their unity through different team building activities. Denise completed all of her requirements and was inducted at the end of the Fall 2007 semester along with ten others in the Alpha Omicron class. She became a member of the Wojick family line.
Collegiate Years at Alpha Epsilon Chapter
In Denise's first semester as a Brother she took on the leadership positions of Inter-Chapter Relations chair as well and Public Relations/Webmaster. As PR/Webmaster she helped successfully promote the fraternity's info nights and rush events, which brought a large turn-out. Denise also took on the task of completely re-doing Alpha Epsilon's website. She cleaned up all the outdated information, gave it a brand new layout and also set up its new domain name "wcuphisigmapi.org". Denise also regularly attended chapter events such as a scholarship trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum, fundraiser bake sales, a service project making dog toys for the ASPCA, intramural volleyball and a fellowship event of Capture the Flag.
At the end of the Spring 2008 semester, Denise was elected Parliamentarian and Alumni Chair for Fall 2008. She also took on the role of Website Manager after getting Public Relations split into its own chair. She also had the honor of representing Alpha Epsilon as their delegate for the 2008 Grand Chapter and National Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a great experience and one of Denise's first national experiences. Here she participated in grand chapter business, learned new ideas through leadership sessions, and really felt what it was like to be a Brother.
