Theta Spotlight: Becky Trujillo
"Attending the CASA/ Gal Conference in Seattle, Washington was a very enlightening opportunity for me. I was picked
as one of four Thetas nationally to attend. The first thing I did was meet the other Thetas. It was a pretty fun time
getting to compare how Thetas in other states run, the philanthropies they have, and how Greek life in general operates.
Maryland is such a large school, and Gamma Mu is such a large chapter, it was interesting to see the differences
between my chapter and theirs. Despite all the differences, I found myself to be a very similar person to the other
Thetas who attended. Once at the actual conference, I got to meet women from Theta Nationals, who taught me a lot
about the work done behind the scenes at Theta. We set up a table and acted as the face behind the sorority. As a
marketing major, I went to several breakout sessions whilst at the conference pertaining to social media, PR, and digital
marketing. It was particularly useful as I hope to one day work for a non-profit, and understanding how to successfully
market on a limited budget will one day come in handy. I got to hear from children who has been through the foster
care system, as well as met those who spend so much time working with them. I learned about new ways Kappa Alpha
Theta could help CASA. I also got to meet several people behind similar organizations who are equally devoted to
helping the children. This conference inspired me to one day become a CASA, to hopefully one day do as great of good
as many of the men and woman I got lucky enough to meet do on a regular basis."
