Mia whalen

Chapter president

Hi ladies! My name is Mia Whalen and I feel so grateful to be able to serve as the President of the Beta Lambda chapter of Gamma Phi Beta. In this role, I oversee our executive board, work with our chapter advisor, other Greek councils, and our university! The most incredible part of my role is making sure every one of our sisters feels loved and supported. Gamma Phi Beta is my home away from home and I want all of my sisters to feel the same! I am originally from Las Vegas, then in high school I moved to Huntington Beach, and then from there I moved to Newport Beach. After spending some time close to the ocean, I couldn’t resist the sunny San Diego weather and gorgeous beaches. Currently, I am studying Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology and I am hoping to attend law school once I get my degree here at SDSU. As a freshman, joining Gamma Phi Beta opened up so many opportunities to get involved on campus and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Joining Gamma Phi Beta has truly been the best and most rewarding decision I have made. I cannot wait to see what this year has to bring for our executive board and all of our sisters!​

Juliet Nickas

Administrative Vice President

Hey ladies! My name is Juliet Nickas and I am the Administrative Vice President. As AVP, my role is to ensure that our chapter operates efficiently by upholding Gamma Phi Beta’s policies and expectations, following procedures, and managing member retention. Part of these responsibilities includes keeping close contact with our Regional Coordinator and International Headquarters. I am so happy to hold this position in this amazing chapter and hope to lead it to even greater heights. Born and raised in the Bay Area, San Diego’s beautiful beaches and perfect weather drew me right away. What drew me to SDSU even more was its direct entry nursing program. Here as a second-year nursing student, I am on my way to my dream career in Nursing! Gamma Phi Beta has allowed me to be part of a community outside of my smaller nursing community and I feel extremely lucky to have found this sisterhood. From the moment I stepped through Gamma Phi’s doors on that first day of recruitment, I knew I had found my home. I am beyond excited to create even stronger bonds with the women in this chapter and for the start of this new year!

Delaney Crowe

Financial Vice President

Hi everyone! My name is Delaney Crowe and I am so excited to serve as Gamma Phi Beta’s new Financial Vice President! As Financial Vice President, I am responsible for collecting our chapter’s dues, submitting our donation to Girls on the Run, and serving as a financial resource to the women of our chapter. I was raised in Lake Forest, California, and am so happy I chose a school where I can visit my family whenever I want. My mom and sister were both Gamma Phis and after hearing about their incredible experiences, I always knew I wanted to join a sorority and am so lucky to be a G Phi too! I am currently a second-year Accounting major but will be graduating a year early with hopes of also getting my Master’s in Accounting at SDSU. My dream is to pursue a career in the FBI where I hope to use all of the leadership skills I have gained in Gamma Phi Beta. In Gamma Phi, I have met the funniest and most genuine women I could ever imagine and am so glad I had them to lean on in the midst of this challenging year! I cannot wait to serve on this executive board and continue to grow with this special sisterhood!

Another big portion of my responsibilities is planning and overseeing our formal recruitment in the fall! I carefully plan each day and make sure everything goes smoothly, with the help of my amazing MVP assistant Elise. The most rewarding part of my position is to work with the other amazing members of our executive board and represent such an amazing organization. I absolutely love every minute I spend here in sunny San Diego and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to spend it with the amazing girls of Gamma Phi Beta. I personally chose to pursue a major in Social Work and hope to secure a position within inpatient services at a large children’s hospital!

Lynae troy

Panhellenic Affairs Vice President

Hey girly pops!  My name is Lynae Troy and I’m the Panhellenic Affairs Vice President.  As PAVP, I serve to communicate with all of the Panhellenic community and ensure that our chapter is in good standing with San Diego State University.  I oversee and assist our community service chairwoman and our accreditation chairwoman to maintain a good relationship and impact the community around us.  I was born and raised in Centennial, Colorado so the mountains are my home, but the beach is slowly becoming that new home for me.  My hobbies include skiing, surfing and hiking, so basically anything that can get me outside. I am a psychology major with a minor in marketing.  I hope that someday I will work with adolescents and adults to help them overcome their personal struggles. My goal for this year is to make the Panhellenic community feel inclusive and ensure that everyone feels like they belong here at SDSU. Being a member of Gamma Phi Beta is such a blessing because of the ways it has made me grow as an individual and knowing I have a dependable group of women that will support me unconditionally.
