One of Alyssa’s major accomplishments at CSUSB thus far has been securing a position on the executive board of the sorority Alpha Phi. The opportunity to serve as the VP of Finance for Alpha Phi holds special meaning, especially considering that as a second-year college student, she never envisioned being selected for such a crucial role. This achievement is important as it signifies both personal growth and recognition of capabilities within the sorority community.
