After seeing something similar on other blogs I thought it would be great to do an Interview Series with our Alumnae. It's a great way for us to learn more about our alumnae and also a great way for our alumnae to share what they have learned with both current members and other alumnae.
To start the ongoing series we have MI Gamma's Chapter Housing Corporation President, Kelly Redburn!
Initiation Year: 2007
Offices Held: VP Finance
What did you enjoy about living in? Getting to know my pledge class. Most of us lived on the same floor. It was a great experience.
Favorite Pi Phi memory? Convention. I had the pleasure of attending in 2009 when it was located in Texas. It was so great meeting Pi Phis from across the country. It really made me understand how large the Pi Phi sisterhood really is.
What are you up to now? I still live near East Lansing. I work for MSU as an Administrative Assistant in the Physical Plant. I am getting married on the 17th of December.
How has Pi Phi influenced/affected your post-college life? I learned a lot about responsibility while in Pi Phi. I had to learn how to manage my course work, Pi Phi, family time and free time. It has greatly impacted how organized I am at work and in my home life.
What are your thoughts on your involvement as an alumnae in the group you participate in? I love being involved. I put a lot of time and effort into Mi Gamma during college, so it is nice to continue helping the Chapter in any way that I can.
What do you wish you had known when you were in college? I
wish I would have known how horrible the job market for my major would
end up being. I would have picked a different major.
Giving what you know now, what advice would you give to your college-age self? I would have told myself to not stress so much about good grades and have more fun.

Do you have any resume pointers or interview skills to share? Dress well and ask questions! I sat in on an interview committee recently and those that had questions prepared were looked higher upon than those without. How candidates dressed was also a major factor. If you act like you care about the interview and the company, the committee will be much more interested in you.
What is something you wish you were better at? Taking time to relax!
Do you have a personal motto? Work hard so you can play even harder.

Do you have a favorite quote? Come What May.
Favorite TV Show and/or Movie? The OC was my favorite show when it was still on TV. My favorite movie is October Sky.
What is something on your bucket list? To visit all 7 continents.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? With a fulfilling career and a busy family.
What is something people may not know about you? I took American Sign Language classes during High School.
Thank you Kelly for kicking the Interview Series off and sharing so many great memories and helpful tips.
Congratulations on your wedding this weekend! PPL!
