In his junior year, Matt would take the role of Initiate Adviser, learning the keys to recruitment and retention of new Brothers, skills that would late serve him in his efforts as an alumnus of the chapter. He inducted the Kappa and Lambda classes of Beta Psi during his time and always looked forward to working with new initiates. He won awards for "Best Big" twice during his time as an active brother in addition to 3 awards for outstanding scholarship.
