Emilie is a first year studying Psychology. She is a proud Clevelander, like many of our sisters. She loves photography and could like to get involved in some kind of photography club on campus. She is also looking at getting involved in the Psych Club, but often misses meetings due to the schedule interfering with her nap schedule. She lives off campus, which is the main reason she wanted to go through recruitment. She says throughout the process she could just see herself in the Pi Phi house hanging out with the girls; it just felt like home. During her time as a sister, she wants to learn more about herself through the experience Ohio Kappa will provide

“I’m training for the 2020 Olympics…I’m a competitive napper.  It’s a challenge to make time for classes and social life but sleeping is my passion and I’m lucky to have a very encouraging support system.”
