Why did you join APO?
It was by accident. I joined because a friend wanted someone to go with her to info night, what she didn't tell
me was that she was taking me to the Initiation ceremony. So I had absolutely no idea what I was joining and
where this would take me.
What is your most memorable moment in MZ?
Being elected to my second term as chapter President. It solidified the fact that me winning the position the
first time wasn't a fluke. Also my ExComm was awesome (...even Shervey and Justin) and our Lake Tahoe
ExComm retreat is still the best ever!
What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment?
Redesigning the face of the pledge program. Everything from requirements to revealing and all that nice
stuff in between. Also winning a gold pan each time I was President was not too shabby too.
What was your favorite position and why?
PM. It is the most difficult yet most rewarding position on ExComm. I love working with the new faces, it
gives me hope that I can inspire someone to share the same passion and love that I have for the organization
that has given me so much over the years.
What are your hopes for the future of Mu Zeta?
The chapter becomes more united. In my five years as a member, we have improved significantly but there is
plenty of room to grow. There are still way too many divisions and misunderstandings that foster a sense of
negativity and a loss of community.
Do you have any advice for the chapter or for the KY class?
Don't get swept up by the drama. Drama is inevitable and will happen in every organization, simply put that is
human nature. Just remember why you joined and stay true to those beliefs.
V. Old Business:
VI. New Business:
- Darshika Patel: Section 4 Chair. They felt really strongly to host a fellowship. We’re not going to
sign up for fellowship. When there’s a regionals, there’s usually no fall fellowship. We’re voting
on if Iota Phi should host Fall Fellowship, or not. Any Questions?
- Edward Mendoza: Where is Regionals held at?
- David: Does the date conflict with anything major?
- Darshika: they haven’t specified a date. Do we have t
- Louis Pandong: I Louis Pandong, motion to open voting whether or not if Iota Phi should host fall
fellowship, seconded by Jon-Thomas Duldulao-Lee

 Motion passes, motion is rescinded
Anna Lei: I, Anna Lei, motion to have fall fellowship at Iota Phi, seconded by Darius Ngo
Discussion:
o Anna: I feel like if we should have fall fellowship, because it’s a time to meet with IC
brothers, but with regionals, you might have no time to bond with your own section
o Jonathan: Iota Phi, Late October or early November, if not in December, it’s in January.
It’s either if it’s really late, late December. There really two months apart.
