Riley Richards
Theta Rho (Western Michigan)
Riley is currently finishing his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. The road to higher education didn’t come easy and for many in his same situation would not have happened at all. Riley was homeless living out of a car alone in his senior year of high school. Not only did he graduate salutatorian of his class, he’s since finished three higher education degrees. He credits his Pi Kappa Phi brothers for reminding him the importance of scholarship, personal responsibility, interpersonal conflict management, and likely keeping him in school at the time.
