Event: Gear Up Florida 2016
Hometown: Kansas City, Missouri
Why did you sign up for this event?
I wanted to be able to do something for Pi Kapp that went beyond planning a social event or taking on the responsibility of an EC position. I had contemplated taking on a summer event like Journey of Hope or Gear Up Florida during my new member education, but was never really sure if I had the time or financial stability to complete such endeavors. However, during my time at Pi Kapp College for Emerging Leaders in 2015, I had the opportunity to talk to a number of people that had recently completed Gear Up Florida and was inspired to take on the challenge from learning about their experiences.
What are you most excited for this summer?
I’m really excited to get to know some of the other Pi Kapps throughout the country. I learned at Pi Kapp College that a brother at another school could become one of your best friends, regardless of the chapter you come from.
