Hello! I’m Brittany Lisboa! I am a Sophomore and psychology major here at FDU. I am a new member of Theta Phi Alpha and I can honestly say this is one of the most exciting moments in my life. My absolute favorite color ever is pink and my favorite candies are peanut M&M’s and Swedish fish. One of my biggest dreams is to go to Africa on a missionary trip to help people in need; maybe help build a school or help teach the children something new. Career-wise, I aspire to work with addicts, I am hoping to maybe become an addiction counselor and work my way up. One day I would like to get my PHD, and work at a VA hospital and work with veterans who have turned to addiction to help cope with their issues. I’m just a normal girl with big goals and with one step at a time, one day at a time, I believe I can get closer and closer to my dreams.

Hi I’m Jenna Molins and I’m a freshman Beta Delta. I am a Criminology major from Lavallette, New Jersey (a tiny town next to Seaside Heights). I have been cheerleading since the fourth grade and am currently an FDU Devils Cheerleader. Along with cheerleading, I am also involved in campus ministry. From weekly bible studies to a five-day trip to Nashville, campus ministry is something I am very passionate about. Growing up, I was the second youngest out of 7 kids. Having a large family definitely has its benefits and since my family has just expanded I could not be any happier! I am so excited for the future ahead of me in Theta Phi Alpha.

Hello! My name is Gabriella Perruso, and I am so excited to be starting my journey into the world of Theta Phi Alpha! I am a freshman with an undeclared major and not much direction yet. I am trying to get a feel for what I should do with my life, and I'm hoping Theta Phi will help me follow my compass and where every it might point me. I come from a big family, so love, loyalty and respect is very important to me. My mom joked about why I would want any more siblings than I already have, and I couldn't think of one reason I wouldn't! I am very laid back and relaxed, I go with the flow of things and always have a smile along the way. I get along with everyone I meet, and I'm so excited to get finally to know all the sisters and everything they have to offer me. I'm all too excited to look back on this and wish I could go back to this moment after everything I'll experience, learn and value.

I’m Emily Reiman and I am a second semester freshman at Fairleigh Dickinson. I am from Staten Island and previously went to an all-girl Catholic, high school. In high school, I played softball, tennis, participated in student government, and did many hours of community service. I come from a hard-working family of a father, mother, and two older brothers. Throughout my life, each of them has pushed me to do my best, and their push has paid off. I am now determined to become very involved on campus and keep up with my grades, and being in Theta Phi Alpha will help me do both. I chose Theta Phi Alpha because you can see the bond between sisters while walking on campus. Along with loving the girls I have met, I love the philanthropy, and it is an important cause that my whole family supports. Each girl has made me feel so welcome in my short time of being a new member so far. I am excited to participate in all that is to come in Theta Phi Alpha.

My name is Kathleen Tara Sempkowski, but I prefer to go by Katie for short. I was born on June 4th, 1996, blessing my mom and dad with their second child and first-bornrn daughter. I have an older brother, TJ, two younger sisters, Jenna and Paige, and an English Setter, Dozer. I’ve lived in Oceanport, New Jersey for my whole life, which is located in Central Jersey (and yes, that’s a thing). Being one of four, I’ve always appreciated a busy lifestyle. Sitting still is not one of my best qualities, so when I came to FDU, I wanted to get as involved as possible. I am a member of FPC and AMA, I am a student ambassador for PDP, and I am a Devil’s cheerleader. Being a part of Theta Phi Alpha, though, is one of the best things that I’ve done since coming to campus. I love the immediate sense of welcome that I received from all the sisters when I first walked into our room on Bid Day. I am beyond excited to not only spend the next four years with these girls, but the rest of my life.

Hi I'm Lauren Shields, and I'm a freshman at Fairleigh Dickinson University! I'm a musical theatre major, a dance minor, and I am planning on declaring a double major in directing! I was born in Connecticut, and I moved to Long Island, New York when I was two! I love to sing and take pictures! I also love love love Disney!! I am so happy to say that I am a new member of Theta Phi Alpha and I cannot wait to see what being a part of this sorority has in store for me! Every girl is so sweet and amazing, and while rushing I knew these girls felt like home to me! :)

I'm Lauren Sturm, and I'm from Randolph, NJ (and even though it's only 15 minutes from here, I live on campus because what's college without living in a dorm?!). I'm super excited to be a part of Theta Phi Alpha because even after just a few days, I know that it's going to be my second home and second family. I also love that it gives me a new way to bond with my (biological) sister! I am so excited to make amazing memories that will last a lifetime and to meet people who will be there for me through all of the ups and downs of life. Okay so first of all, I hate when people ask what I do in my free time because a) I have none and b) I don't really know what I do, but I'll answer the question anyway because it's for Theta Phi, and I love Theta Phi. So I guess I would say that I love going out and spending time with my friends, watching hockey (NJ Devils to be specific), shopping, and simply spending relaxing nights in watching movies with the girls in my suite! If I'm doing any of these things on a free night, then I am one happy girl!

So that's me, Lauren Sturm :)

I’m Emily Young and I’m freshman biology major at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I am in the 8 year affiliated medical program with Lake Erie School of Osteopathic Medicine. I was always very involved in my hometown, Princeton, New Jersey. My mom has always emphasized the importance of family when I was growing up, always telling me that my sisters are the closest people I will have in the world, little did I know she was not just talking about my 3 biological sisters. All of Theta Phi Alpha’s members remind me of my own sisters, which makes Theta Phi feel like home.

New Member Educator, Stephanie Petrosino and Co New Member Educator, Courtney Fottrell welcome the new members into the organization on Bid Day. Look at those beautiful and excited faces!
