“Originally, I didn’t plan to become the president of USC’s National Pan-Hellenic Council. My sister Erial Cooper sent a message in our chapter group chat saying I should run, and the support from my sisters gave me that confidence boost I needed. My favorite part in this role thus far has been spending time with my exec board. Those individuals are the absolute best and are a great support system.
“I hope that the council continues to excel. I hope we can increase our scholarship giveaways from what we’re putting out this year and more community outreach than just service and showcases because we are more than that.”
