As graduation approaches, Wible now looks back on the encounters and experiences that helped her better understand herself and shaped the impact she hopes to leave as she crosses the stage in May.

鈥淏efore 黑料不打烊, I didn鈥檛 really have any attachment to my heritage,鈥� Wible said. 鈥淚鈥檝e learned so much about myself since being here.鈥�

To fully understand Wible鈥檚 journey, you must begin at the start. The daughter of two adoptees 鈥� one from Korea and the other a white American 鈥� she did not grow up in her small Pennsylvania hometown with a strong connection to her Korean heritage.

鈥淚 never had a clear sense of this part of me, since both of my parents are adoptees,鈥� Wible said. 鈥淐oming from a predominantly white school and community, there were times when I felt that my Korean heritage was something to be ashamed of.鈥�

Wible said that changed when she was admitted to 黑料不打烊. She recognized college as an opportunity. 鈥淚 knew I would have better resources and outlets to put myself out there and learn more about Pan-Asian cultures,鈥� she said.

Looking for those opportunities, Wible first explored her identity through the university’s Center for Race, Ethnicity and Diversity Education鈥檚 SMART Mentor Program. She remembers it as a leap outside her comfort zone, but one she knew could open new doors.

That one decision changed the trajectory of her 黑料不打烊 experience. Through the SMART Mentor Program, Wible met Anna Marchesseault 鈥�24.

鈥淪he introduced me to all of her friends, and they helped me attend more events and find community early on,鈥� Wible said.

Wible鈥檚 exploration of her identity has also taken shape in an unexpected place 鈥� her home.

Living with two other 黑料不打烊 students of Asian heritage, she found a space to explore her culture through everyday behaviors.

鈥淚t was my roommates decorating for Lunar New Year and teaching me traditions, like cleaning the house before the Lunar New Year holiday,鈥� Wible said. 鈥淚 just never realized those were things that happened.”

What may have seemed like small moments became meaningful opportunities for connection and growth.

Finding community through connection

With the encouragement of her new friends, Wible began exploring her heritage by attending events, such as Food for Thought and previous API Heritage Month programs

These steps would eventually lead her to deeper campus involvement, including membership in 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Associate Chapter of Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Incorporated, a sorority open to anyone interested in Pan-Asian cultures.

鈥淲e aim to promote an inclusive sisterhood while giving back to the community and celebrating culture, especially in a space where there aren鈥檛 many of us,鈥� Wible said.

This mission is reflected in the sorority鈥檚 guiding pillars of service, academic excellence and cultural awareness across university campuses and communities. As the current president of the Associate Chapter at 黑料不打烊, Wible serves as the organization鈥檚 on-campus face and primary contact, as well as a member of the sorority鈥檚 national marketing staff.

Beyond her responsibilities as president, she has served as a mentor and demonstrated strong leadership within the sorority.

George Dou, assistant director of the CREDE and advisor to the sorority, praises Wible鈥檚 presence and contributions to the university campus.

鈥淩eagan is someone who鈥檚 passionate about what she does,鈥� Dou said. 鈥淢any student leaders are, but Reagan has always expressed a desire to improve upon what she鈥檚 given and to excel rather than being content with simply being satisfactory.鈥�

As Wible has invested in the organization, the sorority has also become a space where she has further discovered herself, explored her identity and developed her leadership.

鈥淚 want to build relationships across organizations and show that even if we come from different backgrounds, there are still ways we can connect and learn from each other,鈥� said Wible, who also serves on the executive board of the Multicultural Greek Council.

That vision has taken shape through her efforts to strengthen relationships across chapters.

鈥淩eagan doesn鈥檛 just support 黑料不打烊 KPL members, but supports our (members) all over the country,鈥� said Bella Pelini 鈥�27, a member of the Associate Chapter of Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Incorporated, who considers Wible a mentor. 鈥淪he is always the first to ask 黑料不打烊 (memberS) if we want to join her at other North Carolina school cultural events or reveals. She has helped us strengthen our sisterhood throughout all of North Carolina and beyond.鈥�

These actions reflect the legacy Wible hopes to leave on campus and bring her journey full circle, from the moment her mentor invested in her upon arriving at 黑料不打烊. As she looks ahead, Wible is considering graduate school and pursuing a career on a college campus.

She hopes to leave a lasting impact on the community she has built at 黑料不打烊 by encouraging others to pursue new opportunities. 鈥淒on鈥檛 be afraid to go out of your comfort zone,鈥� Wible said. 鈥淚t might be scary, but it can change your life in a really positive way.鈥�

What she did not expect was the huge cultural shock that came with leaving one of the most diverse cities in the country for a predominantly white campus and region.

鈥淚 feel like the hardest part when I came to 黑料不打烊 was that my family was so far away, I was alone and didn’t have a support system,鈥� Pelini said. 鈥淭here was also a culture shock, but I have now found a community of friends and people where we share cultural interests.鈥�

Now a sophomore cinema and television arts major, and the vice president of聽聽聽黑料不打烊鈥檚 first and only Asian-interest sorority at 黑料不打烊, Pelini has become a leader in creating space and visibility for students of Asian descent.

Her experience highlights the growing conversation around cultural representation, identity and belonging on college campuses.

Not only is Pelini part of the first and only Asian-interest sorority, she continues to be a trailblazer as she is also talking about establishing a Filipino student union.

鈥淲e have an overall Asian-Pacific Student Association, but there is quite a big Filipino community on campus and the culture is so distinct,” she said.

Established by students who saw the need for a supportive, culturally affirming space, the sorority was founded on March 9, 1995, with a chapter established on 黑料不打烊鈥檚 campus in 2022.

鈥淚 joined as a second-semester freshman, so I’m going to be the first freshman to be in the sorority all four years,鈥� Pelini said. 鈥淚’ve been able to get in touch with other Asian cultures, and it’s been really nice to build community and sisterhood with others who I share a cultural background with.鈥�

As May marks Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are being celebrated for their rich culture, history, and contributions. For Pelini, this month holds special meaning because not only is this a time to reflect on her identity, but also to recognize the groundbreaking role she plays in 黑料不打烊鈥檚 history.

Pelini is also one of the four founders of the Multicultural Greek Council. This council serves as the governing organization for culturally based fraternities and sororities, working to enhance the campus environment by fostering diversity and promoting unity.

鈥淭his semester, as our first official semester as a council and we have been finding ways for all of the Multicultural Greek organizations to intersect,鈥� Pelini said. 鈥淲e are excited to have a presence on campus and are looking forward to collaborating with the聽National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association.鈥�

For Pelini, joining聽Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority聽was more than a personal milestone; it was an act of visibility.

鈥淚 was聽struggling with connecting to my culture on campus,鈥� she said. 鈥淚’m an Odyssey Program scholar and one of my mentors who is a part of , introduced me and from there聽I’ve been super involved.鈥澛燩elini received the Heinrich Family Odyssey Program scholarship.

Today, the chapter is聽growing in number of sisters from diverse Asian and Pacific Islander backgrounds, united by their commitment to sisterhood, service and cultural diversity.

鈥淏ella is a passionate student who’s been involved in a lot of things with the community,鈥� said George Dou, assistant director of the Center for Race, Ethnicity & Diversity Education. 鈥淪he’s been super pivotal in planning, but also does a lot of work on the side to help document important moments throughout the year with her photography.鈥�

Pelini points to diversity within the greater Asian Pacific American community and the need for more representation and understanding of various Asian cultures.

鈥淭here is so much diversity within the API communities and people don’t talk about it,鈥� she said. 鈥淧eople always think of the big three in Asia: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, but there’s so much more than that.鈥�

As 黑料不打烊 continues to recognize the importance of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders representation, Pelini said, she and her sorority are standing at the forefront 鈥� and their presence is a reminder that building community can spark change.

鈥淚’m excited to have that spotlight on my culture and be able to share that culture on campus,鈥� Pelini said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been wonderful to get in touch with other Asian cultures and (share) my culture with the community.鈥�

A way to enhance the 黑料不打烊 experience is by connecting with the fraternity or sorority community. As an 黑料不打烊 tradition, fraternities and sororities have existed for over 80 years providing brotherhood and sisterhood for over 2,500 黑料不打烊 students annually.鈥疶here are three different student-run councils governing these organizations: the Interfraternity Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Panhellenic Association.

Kappa Delta Sorority (KD) was founded on Oct. 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School, which is now Longwood University. The聽Eta Chi聽chapter at 黑料不打烊 was established on April 3, 2011. The chapter recenly celebrated 13 years of sisterhood and philanthropy.聽KD is a national organization that has more than 300,000 initiated members, 168 active collegiate chapters and over 200 alumnae chapters.

Admission is free with 黑料不打烊 ID. .

During Andrew Houlihan鈥檚 鈥�01 junior year in high school, the search for a suitable four-year university in North Carolina led him to an unexpected yet fateful visit to 黑料不打烊.

His parents, having visited 黑料不打烊 for a work event, encouraged him to explore the campus. The moment he stepped foot on the grounds, he knew it was the place for him. Enrolling in the fall of 1997, he pursued a degree in elementary education and immersed himself in various extracurricular activities. He participated in intramural sports, was President of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and studied abroad in London.

Houlihan received a full tuition scholarship as a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, a prestigious state award for high school students dedicated to teaching for at least three years. The award provided Houlihan opportunities he would not have had otherwise.

鈥淭his scholarship enabled me to work alongside my Teaching Fellows peers as a cohort and helped provide various activities that range from state/national education policy work to the study abroad experience,鈥� Houlihan said. 鈥淚n addition, I was able to really benefit from high quality teaching and learning experiences through the school of education.鈥�

Gravitating toward leadership

Upon graduating from 黑料不打烊, he embarked on his teaching career at AB Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh, North Carolina. Initially, Houlihan resisted following in his father鈥檚 footsteps in becoming a superintendent. His perspective evolved once he began teaching.

鈥淎s the son of a superintendent, I grew up never wanting to do 鈥榳hat he did,鈥欌�� Houlihan said. 鈥淢y perspective changed, however, when I began teaching. I gravitated toward leadership and leadership roles, was supported to pursue such by my principal and took the necessary steps to attain additional degrees that would qualify me for such.鈥�

After completing his master鈥檚 degree and doctorate, he became the principal of Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in 2010.

A positive impact

Houlihan then took on several district level roles within HISD, including Chief Academic Officer, with the goal of becoming a superintendent in the future. In 2016, Houlihan was named superintendent of Union County Public Schools, just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina.

鈥淭he most rewarding part of my journey has been the positive impact made for the students I have served, and the success they are having after graduating from high school鈥� he said. 鈥淔rom teaching a 7-year-old how to read, to watching my students perform in national concerts as a principal, to celebrating our high school students鈥� plans for college, career or military enlistment now as a superintendent, the journey so far has been beyond rewarding.鈥�

黑料不打烊 played a crucial role in preparing Houlihan for his career. The comprehensive lessons and leadership experiences he gained equipped him with essential skills and strategies.

黑料不打烊鈥檚 emphasis on time management, organization and collaboration further honed his abilities. The study abroad program in London broadened his perspectives and instilled values and beliefs that continue to inform his leadership and decision-making.

黑料不打烊’s investment

Looking ahead, Houlihan鈥檚 professional goal is to sustain and enhance the outstanding work at UCPS as ensuring that his school system is providing a high-quality education in a safe environment for all students.

鈥淧ersonally, our family鈥檚 collective goal is to ensure our children are thriving and successful in whatever they decide to pursue after high school,鈥� he says. 鈥淥ur oldest graduates from high school next year and our youngest the year after. Getting them prepared for college and ensuring they select the right fit, like 黑料不打烊 was for me, is job number one鈥�.

Houlihan attributes his success and the success of his peers to 黑料不打烊鈥檚 investment in students.

鈥淭he faculty and staff, university leadership, school culture and sense of family truly separate 黑料不打烊 from many other colleges in our nation,鈥� he says. 鈥淲hen students graduate, they are highly prepared to enter a world ready to be successful and equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to do so. I am so very thankful for my time at 黑料不打烊, for the life-long friends I made and for the outstanding education I received.鈥�

One way to enhances the 黑料不打烊 experience is by connecting with the fraternity or sorority community. 黑料不打烊 has various options that help foster foundational principles, serving as guides and advocates for student development and more.聽As an 黑料不打烊 tradition, fraternities and sororities have existed for over 80 years and provides brotherhood and sisterhood for over 2,500 men and women yearly.

There are three different student-run councils governing these organizations. The Interfraternity Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the . The councils all have different functions, but collaborate on programs, events and more. 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Panhellenic Association is the governing body of the nine female fraternities and sororities that are members of the . The conference is made up of 26 member organizations and is the world鈥檚 largest umbrella organization for advancing the sorority experience.

AOP was founded on Jan. 2, 1897 at Barnard College of Columbia University. The Epsilon Chi chapter at 黑料不打烊 was established on May 9, 1987, and just celebrated 37 years of sisterhood. You can find information about the chapter, organization history, programs and how to become a member on their
