Lauren Pliskin '12
Elected Chapter
President
Sister Finds Community
in AEPhi
L
auren Pliskin '12 graduated from a small
private high school in Buffalo Grove, Ill.
The 33 students in her class were a tight-knit
group. Lauren wanted to find a similar sense
of community while attending the University
of Illinois. She felt that AEPhi aligned with
her values and provided the community she
was looking for. "Becoming an AEPhi was an
obvious decision for me. There were 18 other
sororities for me to choose from and I couldn't
be prouder to wear my letters. I am lucky to be
able to continue the Mu Chapter legacy."
After joining the chapter, Lauren knew she
wanted to serve in leadership positions. She is
excited about being the next chapter president.
"I want to be chapter president because I love
AEPhi. I want to work to make it greater." She
plans to help the chapter increase the cumulative
GPA, increase participation in Greek events, and
serve the community. "It's important to maintain
a sense of oneness. To be successful, we must
maintain our sisterly bond."
As a high school student, Lauren was very involved
in her community. She still volunteers when she
visits home and is a director at the Model UN
Conference. She is thankful for her experiences in
AEPhi that helped develop her leadership skills.
"AEPhi brings out the best version of me. Not
a lot of people get this experience to grow as a
person and have the support of sisters while we
are figuring out who we are."
Lauren is a political science major with a minor
in leadership studies. After graduation, she plans
to work in international politics. She can be
