Meet your GSA 

Hello! My name is Madison Singh (She, her), and I am honored to serve as the Fraternity and Sorority Life Graduate Assistant. I went to the University of Wyoming, where I studied Gender and Women Studies with minors in International Relations and Pre Law. 

I am a Chi Omega and served as an Orientation Leader, a Student Ambassador, and the FSL intern on my campus. As an active Chi Omega member, I served my chapter as Marketing Director, Campus Activities Assistant, Secretary and Director of Programming, Chapter President, and Sisterhood Director. 

I saw firsthand how higher education and FSL can and will continue to save lives, thus, I am getting my MA in Higher Education from DU. My hope is that we can work together to reach the goals you have for yourself, your chapters, and your campus. Being a student leader is hard work, and I am here to help you navigate your time as a leader and undergraduate student. 

So excited to be on campus and working with FSL. Let's have a great year! 

 

A Message From Christopher 

Welcome back to campus! We are excited to see everyone return, bringing with you the energy, enthusiasm, and commitment that makes our community so special. Regardless of where you are on your journey, we are excited to embark on another year of growth, service, and siblinghood together. This is a time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and continue the rich traditions that define our fraternity and sorority life at DU.

As we step into a new academic year, I challenge each of you to set an example both within and beyond our community. Strive to uphold the values that your chapters stand for—integrity, leadership, and service. Remember that your actions reflect not only on yourselves but on your chapter and our entire FSL community. Let’s aim to raise the bar even higher than last year, making a larger, more positive impact on our campus and in the local community. By doing so, you’ll help to strengthen the bonds of both inside and outside our community, showing others what it truly means to be part of such inspiring chapters.

I look forward to all the achievements, community service, social events, and memorable moments that this year will bring. Madison and I are here to support you every step of the way, providing resources, guidance, and encouragement. Let’s work together to make this the best year yet, filled with growth, meaningful connections, and the continued pursuit of excellence. Welcome back and let’s make this a year to remember!

Thank you Chapter Leaders! 

 

We are excited for this year, and can't wait to get started.

Shoutout to the chapter leaders who attended the leadership meeting last Sunday. We appreciate your eagerness to begin the year on a positive note. If you have any questions regarding the material covered in our meeting, please connect with Christopher or Madison.


We hope you are feeling prepared for the busy fall quarter, and please don't hesitate to reach out to the FSL team as you begin your school year. 

If you're not following FSL on social media, you should! You can find us on InstagramTiktok, and Facebook!
