Welcome to the Panhellenic Association at Marquette University! 

 

My name is Lizzie O’Brien and I am the proud President of Marquette’s Panhellenic Association. I am a senior at Marquette studying political science and public relations. On campus I’m involved in the Core Honors Program, the Les Aspin Center for Government, the Public Relations Student Society of America, the Marquette Athletics creative content staff, my sorority– Alpha Phi, and Marquette Panhellenic. 

 

By far, the Panhellenic community has been the most formative for me during my time at Marquette. This community is made up of the most passionate, intentional, and driven women I know. With seven unique chapters, each with its own values and traditions, there’s a place for every woman within our community. By joining us, you’ll be encouraged every step of the way– in your involvement, academics, and personal growth. Through my time in Marquette’s Panhellenic community, I witnessed friendships grow within and across all our chapters. Although Alpha Phi is the place I call home, I have found coworkers in Alpha Chi Omega who never fail to make me smile, Alpha Xi Delta women who are always there when I need a shoulder to cry on, and Kappa Delta friends who give me a bright smile when I’m walking down Wisconsin Avenue and need it most. 

 

These women put their heart and soul into finding every woman their right home through both formal and informal recruitment. I am confident that through the supportive environments our chapters foster, you’ll grow into the best version of yourself. Panhellenic is just one part of the experience–our members secure highly competitive internships, establish their own clubs, fundraise to support the Milwaukee community, and so much more. The friendships and experiences you build here will last a lifetime. Our community and people in it mean the world to me, and I hope it becomes just as special to you. 

 

Ultimately, I am in this position because I want to give back to the community that has given me more than I could have ever asked for. This community has taught me how to be a leader, that I am strong, and that I can handle whatever the world puts in front of me. As President, I will put my all into making sure that women have as positive an experience in Greek life as I have had. I want to be someone that people can lean on and someone that people trust. This community is already so strong, and I want to help it grow even stronger. Please look through our website and social media (@Marquettepanhellenic on Instagram) and keep in mind my testimony as you browse our page. I know that you can find your forever home within this community – I surely have.
