Early Fraternity Life and Career
Upon starting her college years at RIT back in 2003, Kristin noticed she kept getting flyers in her mailbox for a fraternity. Confused that a fraternity would give a female an invitation to join, she dismissed the flyers. However, they kept appearing every quarter, and by her fourth year at RIT (out of five), she was aware of the name Phi Sigma Pi. Finally, in the fall of 2006, Kristin was in the Field House one evening, looking to draw people in motion for an art homework assignment. She came upon a group playing volleyball (badly, might I add), and asked if she could sit and draw them while they played. After receiving their consent, a couple brothers came over and struck up a conversation, explaining that this was a Rush event for the fraternity, and as long as she was not a senior and had a 3.0, she could join, too. She interviewed to join the fraternity the very next day.
Kristin was then offered a bid as part of Pi Class. As a Candidate, she served as Vice President of her class, and helped to organize their Scholarship event at the George Eastman House. She was also well known for her persuasive salesmanship during their Fundraising event selling Krispy Kreme donuts. She was inducted on December 20, 2006 and was awarded the Best New Brother award from her chapter.

She was elected, and held the positions the following two quarters, acting as Treasurer for the 2008 NorthEast Regional Conference.
