Contents
Early Fraternity Life and Career
Kat came to Clemson University as an awkward Freshman in 2009, moving a whopping 40 minutes from her home in Greenville, SC. Because she, like all PNMs, excelled in academics, she received in her second semester a fateful email from Beta Kappa inviting her to come to an information night. She, who was already feeling gung-ho about academics after joining the Calhoun Honors College that semester, decided to pledge the fraternity, in hopes that it would encourage that gung-ho feeling to last.
As a Freshman she also joined the High 5 Club and became a DJ for the campus radio station WSBF, both of which she still participates. Since her Freshman year she has also joined several other respected organizations such as Kappa Alpha Theta (joining the ranks of the many Beta Kappa "Brosters," a.k.a. the Sisters in Theta/any other sorority who happen to also be Brothers in Phi Sigma Pi), Order of Omega (Greek Honors Society), Sigma Tau Delta (English Honors Society - and yes, she did realize the humor of the name), and Mortar Board (Senior Honors Society). She also successfully managed to find time to serve as a Major Mentor for the Arts, Architecture, and Humanities college, work in the Brooks Center box office, and participate in performing arts productions.
Collegiate Years at Sample Chapter
In Spring of 2010 Kat pledged Phi Sigma Pi, among a beaucoup of other newbies. As the pledge process wore on the number of pledges was whittled down, until final vote where in her interview she was asked to sing for the Brothers (She sang the German Art Song "Lachen und Weinen" by Shubert). Having impressed the Brothers enough with her skill she became 1 of 24 remaining pledges to be initiated into Beta Kappa as the Alpha Eta class.
As a new Brother, and still quite shy, she did not step up to serve in any leadership positions in her first official semester. This changed Sophomore year when she became Semi/Formal chair, in charge of organizing both of those events. With the experienced help of Brother Annsley Troxell, both events went well. She also had the opportunity that year to attend the Mid-South regional conference at Kennesaw State in Georgia, where she got to meet a lot cool people from other schools and learn how they run their chapters.
At the end of Sophomore year Kat ran for the Executive Board position of Written Historian and won with the goal of having better, more streamlined showcase of Beta Kappa's events, as well as a clearer, more updated look at the chapter's history, which over the years had become lost. In Fall of 2011, Kat was honored to be awarded with the highest chapter award given: the prestigious Spirit of Phi Sigma Pi award, for embodying all three points of the tripod: Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship.
As Written Historian she created several projects with the goal of promoting the chapter history:
- The Beta Kappa Tumblr blog was created in September of 2011, as a fun, streamlined way to track Beta Kappa events, as well as show-off/share ideas to other chapters. Fun fact: Beta Kappa was the first to create a Tumblr PSP chapter blog.
- The Little Lampadion newsletter: The editions of the newsletter, which basically served as a tangible copy of the BK blog and can now be seen on the Tumblr, featured Highlighted/outstanding events, Brother's birthdays, BroTips, upcoming events, and most importantly the Brother of the Month interviews. The newsletter had three editions (once a month) in Fall of 2011, but has since been put on hold indefinitely due to Kat's busy rehearsal schedule in Spring of 2012, and may be absorbed into the Tumblr all together.
- She is currently working, with the help a few dedicated Brothers and Alumni, on the enormous task of updating the the Beta Kappa family trees, as well as making a concise record of early Beta Kappa history (especially it's inception).
- With the help of Fellowship Historian Elizabeth Hafner she is planning a kick-ass senior day
Alumni Years to Present
Kat plans to graduate in Spring of 2013, or possibly Fall of 2013, and will fill this section out accordingly.
Bigs and Littles
Kat's Big Brother is Beth Parris, who was serving as Parliamentarian when Kat Joined. Beth was a very fun, cool girl who was in her graduating semester at Clemson and therefore unfocused on new members, resulting in a very slack (but still lovable Big). She did, however, gain brownie points after she gave Kat (among other random things) a giant roll of bubble wrap for her little gift. Sadly, she has since lost touch with her Big.
Kat currently has one Little:
- Melissa "Luke" Hibdon
One Grand Little:
- Allie O'Brien
Two Grand Littles:
- Meg Delarm (not yet initiated)
- Gabrielle Michel (not yet initiated)
