Brianna Denton, Zeta Mu
“Brianna Denton was initiated into Kappa Psi last fall. Since then she has gone above and beyond to become more involved in our chapter, including stepping into the role of Philanthropy Chair for this coming year. Although we have only been in school for a few weeks, we can already see a positive outcome from Brianna’s involvement in this role. She has stepped out of her comfort zone to make rushes feel welcome and to ensure they are knowledgeable about our philanthropic roles in our community. We are very excited to see where she leads our chapter this year!” -Kayla Shaw |
