Maureen Murage is an international student from Kenya on a full ride to the University of Cincinnati and is a dedicated member of Ohio Kappa’s Charter class. Murage has been able to gain valuable leadership skills by joining Pi Phi and by becoming a member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee. Interactions with AAC have also given her the opportunity to network with other Pi Phi’s which will be helpful as she moves on to Cornell in the fall to earn her Masters in Engineering.
When asked about cultural differences in Kenya and the United States, Murage responded noting that Kenya possesses a very collective society. She reflects, “Everything you do is for the betterment of the society and not for the individual.” As leaders in Pi Beta Phi this should ring a bell, the collective society in Kenya is very similar to Servant Leadership that we all strive to give to our chapters. Murage’s ability to understand Servant Leadership is very apparent as seen through the success that she has brought our chapter through her hard work on LNC.
