Cornell Alpha Beta Alumnae
Alpha Beta Data Fall 2017
"Some of my dearest friends are Alpha
Betas." In each city she has lived in, Andrea
made a point to reach out to sisters in
the area, attending alumnae chapter events
whenever possible. "I was president of the
Los Angeles Westside Alumnae Chapter
when I lived there, and I attend alumnae
events in Milwaukee today."
Andrea enjoys mentoring, traveling, time with
family and friends, and engaging her inner
"foodie" by dining out. She likes spinning,
rowing, TRX, and Bikram yoga in her leisure
time, noting, "When I am physically healthy
and strong, my intellectual and emotional
health strengthens." Andrea volunteers, is
heavily involved with the Cornell Hotel
Society and the Cornell Club of Wisconsin,
and serves as co-chairman of the Marcus
Corporation's United Way campaign. She
returns to campus at least once each year,
and last visited the Alpha Beta house in 2016
for her 20th class reunion.
Women supporting other women is a fiber
of Andrea's moral foundation, and she
emphasizes how being surrounded by sisters
with the same values is a regular source of
inspiration in her life. "You get as much, if
not more, from your Tri Delta and Alpha Beta
Chapter sisterhood as an alumna (pansy) as
you do as an active (pine), provided you put
your heart into it," she said. "Get comfortable
being uncomfortable to live a truly fulfilled
life. Lean on your sisters, and let them lean
on you." You can connect with Andrea at
