Senior Spotlight: Allison Grace

Allison Grace, Alpha Class

To start off our senior spotlight on the week, we’ve chosen to feature sister Allison Grace. Allison is a faithful member of the Eta Phi chapter, always present and, above all, always present with a smile. Her positive attitude and infectious laugh make her a clear candidate for a spotlight!

Allison is a member of the Alpha class and was a junior when Kappa Delta came to campus in fall of 2010.  She had a group of friends on campus and was involved in different organizations, but felt as though there was something missing. “I never really pictured myself as a ‘sorority girl’, but it’s definitely been the best decision I’ve made since I’ve come to BU. I’ve made a lot of valuable friends and met a lot of amazing girls I would’ve never met if it weren’t for KD.”

Allison is a psychology major, hoping to turn her love of sports into a career in sports psychology. As a local girl, from Hanover, MA, Allison has long been a Boston sports fan. She’s undoubtedly an essential part of the Dog Pound at BU, showing her school spirit and support for BU’s hockey team.

Looking back on her time at KD, Allison will always remember the Alpha class’ first formal recruitment as her favorite memory: “It was really awesome to see how far we had come in such a short time and how many girls wanted to be part of such a new organization. Plus I really like the way you get to bond with sisters you might not usually get a chance to talk to on a regular basis.”  For advice for the chapter, Allison hopes that the new member Gamma class and the entire sisterhood remembers simply to be themselves and remember what made them want to join Kappa Delta in the first place.

“I think back and I remember I wanted to be apart of something new and different… something my sisters and I could shape into whatever we wanted it to be. Kappa Delta is a place where I can be myself and not have to pretend to be something that I’m not just to fit in.”
