Lauren's Rush and Upsilon Initiate Class Experience
Lauren Nicole Puls joined Phi Sigma Pi in her second semester of college at the Universtiy of North Texas (Go Mean Green!). She found out about Phi Sigma Pi through one of her favorite Brothers - Nick Overbeck. They met through an Underground Dodgeball League that they were both a part of and found out that they are from the same hometown (Small world, huh?)! They instantly clicked and Nick thought it was a great opportunity to invite her to rush Phi Sigma Pi for the Spring 2010 semester. Lauren was so incredibly excited to go through recruitment and she went to almost all of the rush events. Lauren was also really nervous about going through recruitment since she had just been rejected from the Panhellenic sororities that she rushed for.
Nonetheless, Lauren was initiated into the Upsilon Initiate Class of Delta Kappa Chapter on February 14, 2010. During the initiate process, Lauren ran for President of her class, but unfortuately did not get the position. Instead, Lauren was extremely active in her Initate Class' Scholarship Committee and she planned the Scholarship event for her class in order to show the Brothers that she was a worthy to become a Brother and would be an incredible asset to Phi Sigma Pi. The Scholarship event included eating dinner at Dick's Last Resort and attending a Spoof of Sherlock Holmes at the Pocket Sandwich Theater. According to a few of the Alumni from Delta Kappa, this was one of the most entertaining events they had ever attended!
Lauren's Experience as an Undergraduate Brother
Lauren has been highly active in the Dynamic Delta Kappa Chapter and in the Lonestar Region. During her first semester as a Brother, Lauren was elected to be the Recruitment/Public Relations Adviser and planned rush for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters. After the Spring recruitment, Lauren decided to resign from her position in order to focus on her academics and job with housing. During Lauren's service as the Recruitment Adviser, she created the Chapter's Facebook Page, Twitter account, and their Gmail account in order to improve PR and communication for Delta Kappa. Now, Lauren has been elected to be the Inter-Chapter Relations Chair and Regional Delegate for Delta Kappa and is very excited to contribute to Delta Kappa and Phi Sigma Pi in this position!
