Analeise (pictured to the right) came to Rec Week, our end-of-the-year camp, as the first representative of Greek InterVarsity.  She holds the position of Chaplain in her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha.  She will continue to lead her sorority Bible study next fall.  When I first met Analeise she had just decided to follow God again.  She told me, “I am in the party sorority and I am not sure I am the type of woman you want to meet with.”  I replied, “You are exactly the type of woman I want to meet with.”  A few months later,  Analeise wanted to leave her sorority because she didn’t feel like she fit in or could make an impact.  She had been thinking about running for Chaplain but decided against it and was all set to quit in December.  I was crushed.  I saw great potential in Analeise for leadership and to have a positive influence in her sorority. Thankfully, God had other plans.  Analeise was appointed Chaplin even though she did not apply and was now excited to be a light to her house.  She shared with me that her Grandmother had been at Texas Zeta and led Bible studies in the house and she was honored to follow in her footsteps.  Over the course of this year,  I have seen Analeise take great steps in following God.  She is serious about her faith and her position as Chaplin.  She wants all the Zetas to deepen or begin their relationship with Christ.  She is passionate about serving the poor and is thinking about participating in foreign missions.  She is excited about leading in Zetas and helping Greek IV to get off the ground next year.  Analeise is my shining star.  She is the reason I do what I do — help students discover who God is calling them to be and help them to be that person.  She has been with me every step of the way and I am thankful for her willingness to follow my lead and for her friendship.
