Welcome
Letter from the President
Hello!
I am Celbi Richardson from Hesston, Kansas. I am a senior here at Baker! I have been honored and humbled to serve as the president of our Panhellenic community at Baker University. Our Panhellenic community is made up of three incredible sororities, Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Each chapter possesses their own unique personality, history, and traditions. Together, our three houses embody the best of what it means to be a sorority woman at Baker University. Our members are not only active in their respective chapters, but also in a variety of organizations throughout Baker’s campus. These women are dedicated leaders and serve as excellent examples of what it means to be part of a sisterhood.
As members of the Panhellenic community, we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others through our philanthropic efforts. The sisterhoods of these three amazing chapters provide a sense of belonging and support that extends beyond our college years and helps prepare us for success in all aspects of life.
My journey here at Baker University and within Panhellenic has been an extremely fulfilling experience. As a freshman in 2020, I had doubts about joining a sorority during the pandemic, but after making the decision to go through recruitment I quickly realized the immense support and sense of belonging that the Panhellenic community provides. The women within the Panhellenic community are always there for one another and show unwavering support that has not only allowed me to grow but also learn from them.
I am grateful for the wisdom and unique experiences that Panhellenic has brought me. I am honored to be serving as the president and leading such an inspiring group of women is an opportunity that I am truly grateful for. Panhellenic has provided me with a sense of belonging, and I hope that it can do the same for you.
As a student at Baker University, you will have countless opportunities to get involved. Joining Panhellenic has been one of the most fulfilling experiences. I encourage you to consider registering for recruitment and take advantage of the opportunities and experiences that await. Your time within the Panhellenic community as a Panhellenic woman will not only impact your college experience but will also shape your future.
As we move forward together, I am excited to see what we can accomplish within Panhellenic. I am proud to be part of this incredible community of women who inspire and support each other in every aspect of life. Together, we will continue to make a positive impact on our campus and community.
I hope that you take advantage of this incredible opportunity, and I can’t wait to meet you!
Celbi Richardson
2023 Panhellenic President
