Another proud dad moment.
My oldest daughter is officially rushing Alpha Sigma Alpha (ASA) and I couldn’t be more excited for her. Watching her step into this next chapter of college life with confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of community is incredibly inspiring.
ASA’s values of balance, generosity, growth, integrity and others align beautifully with the kind of leader she’s becoming. I’m thrilled to see her build lifelong friendships, grow through service and leadership, and make her mark in a sisterhood that empowers women to rise together.
If anyone in my network is ASA, let me know as I'd love to make the connection, so my oldest daughter has a professional network connected by ASA.
Here’s to new beginnings, bold steps, and the amazing journey ahead.

🚨#Leadership🚨
Leaders with good judgment listen for what’s unsaid. They surround themselves with people who will tell them what they need to know not what they want to hear. And they think carefully about the risks of implementation even for small projects.

This is inspiring to read. Entering a sisterhood like ASA with those values will give her both strong friendships and a powerful network. Brian Galicia
Congratulations, you must be immensely proud! ❤️

3wSuch an exciting milestone! Kudos to your kiddo for being brave enough to rush! For me, being an ASA set the foundation for me and put me on a path toward Servant Leadership before I even knew what Servant Leadership was. It is the perfect space to explore, grow, and practice leadership and emotional intelligence skills. I also had the chance to serve on my Greek system’s Panhellenic Council and Standards Board as well which taught me so much — even the comfort of working within parliamentary procedure has stayed with me. Beyond all of that, the friendships and memories made are lifelong treasures. Wishing all the best for your daughter!
