FORMER NUMBER I

What does your KA experience mean to you?
The Order has also helped me to build on my morals through our values and continuously strive to be better than I was the day before.
How has KA benefitted you?
Next year I will be attending the University of South Carolina School of Law. While I decided to go to law school on my own and with the help of my brother, mother, and grandfather, KA provided me with so many opportunities to build my resume during undergrad. I was able to intern on S.C. Governor Henry McMaster’s (Rho–South Carolina ’67) campaign, in the South Carolina State House after his election, and in Washington D.C. All of this provided me with great experiences that will last me a lifetime.
What was your favorite experience?
I think my favorite KA activity that I got to be a part of was the annual Beta Pi MDA Clay Shoot. This is always a great time because we got to help out such an incredible cause while hanging out with Beta Pi alumni and faculty, staff, and students from Presbyterian College.
COMMENTS:
“Brent has been a focused, determined, and optimistic leader over the last year. He maintained these qualities in the most difficult of circumstances and he strove to develop new campus relationships between Beta Pi and other organizations on campus. His leadership presence and experience will be missed and a loss to the chapter, but his legacy will continue.” – Daniel Adams, Director of Student Programs at Presbyterian College
