![]() My fondest memory is of pledging day and finding out who my sisters for a lifetime would be. They taught me that Greek life at Drake is a community where we can support each other and build lasting relationships, no matter which house you belong to. My mom’s best friend, to this day, joined Kappa Kappa Gamma while she joined Theta. My mom always told me that Greek life was a great way to make friends, that you meet girls going through the recruitment, even if you don’t join the same house. I don’t know what I would do without my sisters because they help me be the best version of myself. I love that we give back and have fun no matter what we are doing. With service and scholarship requirements, I feel that Greek life has motivated me to work harder for my academics and has also made me a better citizen. Sure, there are a few fraternities or sororities that have moved or have been replaced. ![]() You know, it’s neat to see that things have changed, but a lot of it is the same. ![]() I think there is more of a concentration on community service, in general. It taught you basic leadership skills: delegation and organization. It really taught me everything I needed for after school. I can’t imagine college without being Greek. My dad told me to find a group of guys that I could just hang out and have a beer with, so that’s what I was looking for. They made good friends who they still talk to. I knew I wanted to join a house, because I saw that my dad and mom went through. What did you think about Greek life before you came to Drake? Because you’re basically with all your friends. I don’t know what people do without Greek life. I couldn’t imagine going to Drake without being in Greek life. Those factors added to the quality of Greek life in my day. No housemothers, no cooks in some houses. In many ways Greek life today is more sophisticated. How has Greek life changed since you were at Drake? ![]() The fraternity experience was worth more than any year of academic study in the seven years I attended Drake. I used that experience as a model to create a breakfast club of local community business leaders that is still going today and is accountable for a third of my law practice. I learned leadership techniques that are invaluable still, 50 years later. The experiences I received in my fraternity life have made a huge difference in my life as a lawyer today. I was president of the TKE house and the student body president from 1959 to 1960. I love how much everybody rallies around that and tries to raise as much money as possible. I love how seriously our chapter takes our philanthropy for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It’s really been a good experience for me. I think that it has been an incredibly valuable part of my experience at Drake.
