Casey LudolphWhen deciding where to go to college, high school stand-out Casey Ludolph of Pea Ridge considered numerous universities as her top choices, but when she arrived for her campus tour at the 酴圖弝け, she knew shed found her home. What she didnt realize was that 酴圖弝け would become where she found her voice and herself. 

 

I toured 酴圖弝け as a backup because none of the other campuses I toured were places I would want to fall back on, she said. As soon as I started walking around, I had this feeling of excitement. It felt like home. I was ready; this was it. 

 

I couldnt wait to get home and tell everyone that, no matter where else I was accepted, 酴圖弝け was for me.

 

Though many people tried to sway her decision back to her original first choice, she remained resolute that 酴圖弝け was where she was supposed to be. As soon as she arrived on campus, she began making friends, joining organizations, and taking a more active role as a leader.

 

I have always been outgoing and fun loving, but I really was a deep-rooted follower, she explained. At 酴圖弝け, I became someone with a voice. I do things when I know they are the right choice for the positions I chose to take and uphold. 

 

Ludolphs campus leadership positions have since included titles with her sororitys executive council, a camp chair for Cub Camp, and president of the Panhellenic Council.  She has also attended two national Greek life conferences that she says gave her a passion for what networking and self-growth can do for a person.

 

Following her graduation this May, Ludolph accepted a fifth-grade teaching position in her home town of Pea Ridge, and she will begin her new career this fall. 

 

I am often asked why I love 酴圖弝け, she said. And I always say, This is where I found Casey. 酴圖弝け made me who I am.
