Although
it is always sad to see a sister go, joy and pride take the forefront when it
comes to the graduation of Theresa Dipeppe and Megan Krenzke. On December 30, 2012, Theresa and Megan both graduated with Bachelors of Science in marketing and supply chain
management. Throughout their time at the
University and in AOII, these girls have left significant marks on our chapter
and community while at the same time carved themselves paths toward a bright
future. Theresa is originally from Montgomery County, MD and joined AOII in the spring of 2009. As a student in the Smith Business School, Theresa participated in the Design and Innovation in Marketing Fellows Program which provided her with priceless hands-on experience. And she was a part of the Media, Self, and Society Scholars program her freshman and sophomore years. Her involvement spread far beyond her academics, too. As an AOII, Theresa served as House Manager and Vice President of Administration. She holds a special place in her heart for the countless memories, especially her first year of recruitment. “You get to learn so much about yourself, your sisters, and the chapter,” she says. “It brings everyone so close together and you get a bunch of new sisters once the process is over.”
Theresa currently works full-time for Maier & Warner, a PR/Marketing firm in Rockville, MD. She is a Marketing Specialist for the firm and manages client accounts through marketing, social media, and budgeting for advertisements. We know her success is inevitable and wish her all the best!
Megan comes from Damascus, MD and is
a member of the AOII fall ’08 pledge class.
During her time at UMD her biggest involvement was with the
chapter. She dedicated herself as Vice
President of Recruitment as well as Chapter President! She attended convention in Tuscon, AZ which
remains one of her fondest memories.
Impressively, Megan was also a member of the Greek Leadership Honor Society
known as the Order of Omega. At the same
time, she kept up with academics and graduated with University Honors. She was also a student in the Smith Business School.
Her
time at Maryland was irreplaceable. She
will never forget “Snowmagedon” of 2010 or the spring break cruise in
2011. And the chapter will never forget
all she has done for it. At the end of
January, Megan will begin full-time with PepsiCo. “I’m really excited! I’ll be working as a
demand planner in Columbia, Maryland.” Good
luck, Megan! The entire Pi Delta chapter cannot adequately express how grateful we are to have had these girls and to continue to know them. They have provided examples of leadership, friendship, and excellence for the house to model itself after; true contributors to the strong sisterhood we pride ourselves on having. And since you are both staying in the area you have no excuse to not come back to visit! We will be watching to see all the amazing things you do, ladies. Alpha love!
