FreshBoy (born 19 October 1978) is an Alumnus of Beta Kappa Chapter at Clemson University. He is best known for his extensive knowledge of Parliamentary Law, particularly with respect to Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised (RONR), the National Constitution and Governing Documents, and Chapter Bylaws.

Early Fraternity Life and Career

FreshBoy attended Clemson University upon graduation from high school, beginning in the Fall of 1997. Because he registered for housing very late in the preceeding Summer, he was waitlisted until campus housing became available. By luck, the first spot to open up on campus was in the newest apartment complex, where he would share a suite with Richard Brian Squiddy Mock, BK 261, who was a long-standing Officer at Beta Kappa Chapter. Through very strong encouragement from the Squid, FreshBoy Rushed Beta Kappa, and after a successful Initiation semester as Theta Initiate Class President, he was inducted into Beta Kappa Chapter in the Spring of 1998.

Collegiate Years at Beta Kappa

In his first Active semester at Beta Kappa, in the Fall of 1999, FreshBoy became the Liaison for the Alumni Committee. The following semester, he was away for a Cooperative Education experience, and would return in the Summer for a relatively inactive summer session. Following his return to Beta Kappa, FreshBoy was elected to the Office of Parliamentarian, filling a vacancy left open improperly. Over several semesters, FreshBoy grew into the role of Parliamentarian, completing coursework and passing the Membership Exam to become a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP), which is where much of his theoretical experience in Parliamentary Law was developed.

Also during this time, FreshBoy was prone to enjoy many roadtrips to other Chapter and National events. The best known accounts of his travels suggest that he visited Alpha Rho, Beta Delta, Tau, Delta Epsilon multiple times, as well as other Chapters in the Southeastern United States. Other trips of note include a journey to Beta Chapter, Gamma Theta's Mardi Gras, and multiple visits to Jay's Pig Roast and Green Toga events. This period also marked FreshBoy's attendance at many National Events, a trend he continues, having served as Beta Kappa's representative to the Grand Chapter for three years in a row (2001-2003).

Alumni Years to Present

Upon graduating from Clemson University in 2003, FreshBoy found employment in Washington, DC and subsequently relocated. He married former Beta Kappa Chapter Advisor and Honorary Brother Juana Green (now Juana Green-Nicoletta) in 2005. The following year, the couple purchased a house in Baltimore, Maryland, where they continue to be active on both the National and Local levels, through the continued attendance of National and Regional Events, and with local Collegiate and Alumni Chapters, including Gamma Pi, Alpha Delta, DVAC, and WDCAAC.
