Campus ChampionWhen Kaity Eber reflects on her first year, the health major/communications studies minor remembers hanging out in her dorm room and watching friends go home on weekends. Midway through her second year, she connected with seven ambitious women and together they re-founded Nu Sigma Chi, a philanthropic sorority that originated in 1928. Kaity hasn’t slowed since, juggling her final semester classes while serving as Nu Sigma Chi’s vice president of recruitment and public relations. Kaity collected nearly $2,000 for the American Cancer Society (ACS) as homecoming queen, a fine example that forming relationships is essential for success.
