Victoria RiveraChapter presidentHi ladies! My name is Victoria Rivera and with so much excitement, I have the privilege to serve as President of the Beta Lambda chapter of Gamma Phi Beta. In this role, I work closely with our chapters executive board, work with our chapter advisor, other Greek councils, and our university! The most valued part of my role is being there for my members in which I root my position with providing the upmost love and support for every beautiful woman our chapter holds. I am originally from Discovery Bay, CA and could not resist the chance to continue my education in the beautiful city of Sunny San Diego. Here at San Diego State, I currently major in Interior Architecture, where I hope to eventually pursue a career in Interior Design. Gamma Phi Beta has offered me my place, my people, and my purpose and I aspire to bring that same love to each of my sisters. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to do what I love for the women that I love. Going into an online recruitment I had no idea what to expect, but I did not expect the amount of love, friendship, genuinity, support, and laughs that Gamma Phi Beta has already given me. This chapter will forever be family and the most prized aspect of my life. I am beyond excited to continue to grow the bonds of this sisterhood along side the most empowering executive board and see where the year takes us! <3

Paige ThomsonFinancial Vice PresidentHello everyone! My name is Paige Thomson. I am so excited to be serving on Gamma Phi Beta’s Executive Board as the Financial Vice President. As Financial Vice President, I am responsible for collecting our chapter’s dues, submitting donations for our philanthropy, and being a financial resource for the members of our chapter. I was interesting in this position because of the responsible, organizational, and leadership experience I would gain. Going into my term, one of my biggest goals was to try and create as much of a financially balanced experience for all members, and to ensure that their financial needs are seen and taken care of. Being an out of state student, I knew that I wanted to go through recruitment to find a home away from home, and Gamma Phi has been all that and more. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. I can’t wait to see what obstacles I overcome in this position, and the many memories I will make with the chapter while doing so.

Nina Ng-LaraMembership Vice presidentHi everyone! My name is Nina Ng-Lara and I am the Membership Vice Presdient of Gamma Phi Beta. As the Membership Vice President, I am in charge of planning and overseeing our Fall formal recruitment. I do this by preparing the chapter with tools to recruit new members as well as carefully planning each day so it all runs smoothly. In addition to this, I organize events and activities our chapter and families can participate in to celebrate our graduating class. The most rewarding part of my role is that I get to exemplify how amazing and close our chapter is to the world. I am originally from San Francisco, California and while I will always love NorCal, SDSU has shown me just how amazing Southern California can be with all the delicious food, beautiful beaches, and welcoming people! Currently, I am a Political Science major and I plan on attending law school after graduating SDSU as I have a passion for law and politics. Joining Gamma Phi Beta has been one of the best decisions I have made here at SDSU. It has allowed me to develop friendships that I will cherish for a lifetime as well as opportunities to grow in both leadership and community service. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such strong, smart, genuine, and kind young women I call my sisters. I cannot wait to grow and serve this chapter by being on the executive board this year!
