Advocating for Values That Matter—On Capitol Hill and Beyond
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of joining about 100 undergraduates and alumni from across the country in Washington, D.C., to advocate on behalf of Greek life and student freedoms as part of the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee (FSPAC). As a board member, I participated in more than 400 meetings with members of the U.S. House and Senate to support two important initiatives: the College Housing and Infrastructure Act (CHIA) and the Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act (FAHE).
One of the highlights of the trip was receiving a special shout-out from Representative Julie Fedorchak of North Dakota at the FSPAC Gala. As the proud mother of two Lambda Chi Alpha members, she understands firsthand the lifelong impact that Greek organizations can have. It was a meaningful moment that reminded me how personal policy can be—and how leadership begins at every level, including the collegiate one.
While alumni like myself were there for support, the undergraduates led the charge—doing 95% of the talking and bringing energy, insight, and passion to the conversations. I had the pleasure of working alongside two outstanding students from the University of South Dakota: Taylor Van Emmerik (Lambda Chi Alpha) and Ethan Gladue (Pi Kappa Alpha), as well as alumnus Mike Riley of Kansas State (Pi Kappa Alpha). Together, we were a small but mighty team advocating for the future of community, housing, and student voice in higher education.
At Generosity Wealth Management, my mission is rooted in helping individuals align their wealth with their values and aspirations. That means more than just financial planning—it’s about purpose-driven action. Whether I’m sitting across the table from a client or across the aisle from a lawmaker, my goal is the same: to support individuals and communities in building meaningful, resilient futures.
You’ll hear more in the coming months about this work and my continued involvement with FSPAC. In the meantime, you can learn more at fspac.org.
