"Hi everyone! I'm Olivia, and I'm incredibly blessed to be serving as the chapter president of Theta Alpha for the 2025-2026 school year. Though I've only been in Theta Alpha for a little over a year, this group of girls has truly changed my life and my definition of what it means to live every day for the Lord. I couldn't be more excited to pour into the chapter that means so much to me and give back to my favorite people. In my free time, you could probably find me studying at Pascal's Coffeehouse or line dancing at Vivid Music Hall with some other Theta Alpha's. Feel free to reach out to us on Instagram with any questions, I can't wait to meet you and see what God has in store!"

"Hey hey, everybody! My name is Caroline, and I’m so excited to be serving as UF Theta Alpha’s ‘25-‘26 Chaplain. God has worked in my life in so many ways, through the sky and my family and music and wonderful books, but especially through the Theta Alpha girls. This community brings my heart such happiness, so I’m delighted to have the opportunity to let God work through me to give back as Chaplain this year :) Outside of Theta Alpha, you can probably find me running, studying at a coffee shop, or doing something crafty! I cannot wait to meet all of you beautiful people soon. Love, Caroline <3"

"Hey everyone! I'm Kelsey and I serve as the Internal Vice President for Theta Alpha. I'm going into my senior year studying microbiology with minors in pathogenesis and early childhood studies on the pre-dental track. Outside of Theta Alpha, I work as a pediatric medical assistant, am involved in several pre-dental organizations, research with the microbiology department, and I play the piano for a music organization at UF. As Internal Vice President, I am responsible for sisterhood and service, as well as coordinating rush. Sisterhood, as well as giving back to the community, are two of the core values of Theta Alpha, and I'm so grateful to be able to lead them. During a time when I was lacking a Christian community and struggling to branch out, Theta Alpha came along and was exactly what I was looking for. If you are a girl looking for sisterhood and a way to grow your faith, Theta Alpha is for you!

Nothing makes me happier than being able to plan our social events, formal, and philanthropy. Keep an eye out for me on campus and PLEASE come say hi if you recognize me!! I love you and God loves you! 💗"

"I’m absolutely stoked to be serving as secretary for the 2025-2026 academic year! Outside of classes, you can typically find me spending late nights in Marston or at the nearest coffee shop nearly overdosing on caffeine (hit my line if you wanna join). Also, my favorite animal is a penguin and I really like Nutella. I rushed Theta Alpha my freshman fall, and I’ll admit, I definitely was anti-sorority before I did. Fast forward to now, and I can safely say that Theta Alpha has been the BEST decision I’ve made during undergrad!"
