Some Parting Words From Aaron Our Ivy Man

Roughly a year ago from today, I was presented with an opportunity that has proved to be one of the most memorable of my college experience.  As a member of the LMU Men's Soccer Team and a brother of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, I did not think I could gain a better collegiate experience.  I was quite wrong once the wonderful ladies of the Zeta Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi at LMU elected me to become their Ivy Man for the 2013-2014 academic year.
At the beginning of my stint as Ivy Man, I truly did not know what to expect or how to act.  It can be quite intimidating walking into a room filled with 200 women and know exactly what to do or say.  As expected, it was intimidating and I indeed stumbled a bit.  But, with time I was able to contain the nerves and do my best to make the year one that we would never forget.  
Although my time is officially done, whether it be the hours of LipSync practices, the opportunity to create power points "roasting" members of the chapter, or just simply enjoying the times, it will be something that I never forget. The amount of new friends that I have made, friendships that have become deeper, and the memories that were created, is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life and will forever thankful for.  
Thank you all for making this an unforgettable experience.  I cannot wait to carry on the friendships that I have made for many years to come!

AOE, Ivy Man
