Name: Alicia Bustillos

Position: Communications Officer, Communications Officer

Chapter, School: Iota, New Mexico State University "Go Aggies!"

What advice would you give to a new member: Embrace the organized chaos! This time will go by so fast but some of the best memories come out of the most hectic times in your new member process and beyond. And know you are never going through it alone!

Being in Kappa Delta Chi taught me: to have a voice. I was so scared to have a different opinion when I was younger but KDChi taught me to speak my mind when need be. Meeting sisters who are so strong willed and passionate about their beliefs has inspired me to always stand up for what I believe in, in KDChi and beyond .

Chapter, School: Pi Chapter, The University of Texas at Austin "Hook'em!"

What advice would you give to a new member: Enjoy this experience to the fullest! Keep your head up and even though it might feel daunting at times, overcome the challenges don't let them overcome you.

Being in Kappa Delta Chi taught me: The importance of leaning on my sisters as my support system whenever I am having a bad day, week, or low moment. As I continue to be involved at the national level, KDChi still teaches me every day and helps me grow as a person so that I can use those lessons in my everyday life and as I continue my professional career.
