Kicking off our new #WhyPCWednesday series is none other than our VP of Philanthropy and Service, Ava Wood! Hometown: Akron, OH 🏡 Major: Environmental Studies & Minor in Political Science🌎 Fun fact: I love to hike! 🏃🏼‍♀️ What being in Panhellenic has meant to Ava 💌 — “When I first joined the Panhellenic community, I was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt the support, friendship, and sense of purpose that make this community so special. After completing my term as Vice President of Philanthropy and Service for Sigma Kappa, stepping into the same role on the Panhellenic Executive Board has already been incredibly rewarding. I have been able to build friendships across the entire Greek community, and whether it is collaborating with chapter philanthropy chairs, planning events, or watching members come together to support important causes, I have seen firsthand how powerful our community can be when we unite for something bigger than ourselves. This role has deepened my appreciation for Panhellenic, strengthened my leadership skills, and, most importantly, allowed me to create meaningful change alongside the incredible, driven women who inspire me every day.” #ohiouniversity #sorority #greeklife #panhellenic #whypcwednesday #gogreek #leadership #friendship #philanthropy #recruitment
