Mallorie Rodak was initiated into the Eta Omicron chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha in 1996. She served the chapter at Drury University, during her undergraduate years, as Vice President of Public Relations and President. She is a proud Zeta Tau Alpha alumna currently pursuing her master’s degree in Advertising at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to Gamma Sigma Alpha, Rodak was involved in the Panhellenic Council, Drury’s Advertising Team, Mortar Board and logged over 200 hours in community service. Her service involvement benefited the Humane Society of Tulsa, the Boys and Girls Club and Relay for Life.
When asked about the benefits of her involvement with Gamma Sigma Alpha, Rodak said, “My membership in both Gamma Sigma Alpha and the Greek community has helped me develop valuable skills for the professional workplace. I’ve gained experience as a leader among my peers, improved my interpersonal communication skills, and learned how to become an effective team player.”
A professor at Drury wrote Rodak’s reference letter and stated, “I am continually amazed at the involvement and passion Mallorie possesses in every aspect of her busy life. She is able to juggle several leadership positions, organizational memberships, theater commitments and academic work and still be passionate and enthusiastic about every task that comes her way.” Rodak is another student Gamma Sigma Alpha is proud to call a member of the society!
