During my freshman year of college, I was a founding father in my fraternity, Phi Beta Lambda.  The Phi Beta Lambda Fraternity is a social fraternity with a business and leadership emphasis.  From our initial group of seven founding fathers, we grew to a much larger organization.  In addition, we were accepted in the Interfraternity Council (IFC) at our school, and we got our first house during my junior year.  I served as Chapter President for four years.  The brothers trusted my leadership and judgement.  We had numerous exchanges, threw parties, and had lots of fun road trips.  Fraternity Life was the best part of college.

    I got a bid to join another house on campus also, but I thought it would be more rewarding to be a charter member in an organization so I decided to start up the Phi Beta Lambda chapter at UC Davis.  We had a pretty cool bunch of guys in our houses from all majors including engineering, economics, math, biology, computer science, political science, international relations, and even Japanese!
