Quota 5: Hannah Daggy
Today, I met with Hannah Daggy at Kerchkoff Patio. We spoke about her experiences pledging and her close relationship with my adopted big, Kylie. We also spoke about her experience interning at the clothing brand Izzy and Riley. I have bought a lot of tailgate clothes from there and fashion design is one of my passions, so I was really glad to learn more about her experiences in the field.

Quota 5: Ale
Today, I met with Ale, who I was able to contact due to my pledge brother Leslie. We spoke about his experiences being President of the Latinx pre-law association and as part of the founding line for the La Unidad Latina fraternity. We also spoke about his end goals in life, both inside and outside of law. I found it especially inspiring that he wishes to take over his parents' food truck business and convert it into a full time establishment.

Quota 5: Michael Nazar
I met with alumnus Micael Nazar. We talked about how his gap year is going, as I remembered that he was taking one from when we were able to converse previously during the pledge/ alumni mixer. I was really excited to speak with him as I remembered originally asking him a question during rush, and it was really nice to learn more about what his current career goals are. We also talked about his friendship with my big, Hanna. Finally, I asked him about his time working as an NSA, as this is a position I am interested in pursuing during my time at UCLA.

Quota 5: Mira
Today, I had the pleasure of speaking more with my grand big, Mira. Although I have spoken to her during retreat and other family events, I was glad to get to speak with her more one on one today. We talked about her sorority, Chi Omega, and how her experiences have been balancing both a social sorority and a professional fraternity. She spoke about how both of her commitments to these organizations have been really helpful in building her professional and personal skills.

Quota 6: Anita
Today, I had an interview with Anita from the Alpha Nu pledge class. We spoke about how my pledge brother Colton is still in modified isolation, although this type of isolation does not seem to make much sense to us because he is allowed to go to classes and dining halls. We also spoke about how here sister's college has a horrible isolation protocol. I talked to her about how I was worried that the hill was going to re-enforce the mask mandate, mainly because I forget my mask often.

Quota 6: Megan
I met with Megan, who spoke to me about her younger sister. We spoke a lot about sibling rivalries, because her younger sister thinks that she is smarter than Megan. I shared that I too had this complex with my older sister as a child, which I can now admit is completely backwards (my older sister is much smarter than me). Additionally, we spoke about civil rights law, as this is a subject we are both passionate about.

He spoke about how he is happy with our family and is excited for our family game night. We also spoke about our shared passion for public speaking. This is something we have both done competitively.

Quota 6: Elaine
I interviewed Elaine Kim, who spoke to me about her experiences pledging as well as her great enjoyment for Hello kitty. In my email, I had asked her about her opinions on horror movies, and had mistakenly called the Purge a horror movie. I apologized for my mistake, as any film buff would argue that it is more of a gore/ thriller movie than horror. We talked more about music interests, like Doja Cat and Charlie XCX.

Quota 6: Jason Cheng
Today, I interviewed alumnus Jason Cheng with my pledge brother Olivia Delapp. He spoke about his work within environmental consulting, as I have previously been interested in environmental law and am still interested in environmental justice. This was really interesting to speak with him about as I resonated with a lot of what he said. He also spoke about his pledging process with the Alpha Iota class, as this was another in person pledge class. It was really interesting to hear how the process has evolved over the years.

Quota 6: Taylor
Today, I spoke with Taylor. We spoke about her experiences serving as Marketing Director for Los Angeles Stop the Traffik. I had mentioned in my email that I found her work to fight human trafficking was really admirable, and it was really nice to learn more.

She is really active in what she believes in and I hope that I can display this same political and social activeness in the future.
