Proudest Achievement in College: Graduating (but also the saddest, because who ever wants to leave?).

Future Plans: I am returning home to go into partnership with my parents on our dairy farm.

My Fondest Memory of Life as an Undergraduate Alpha Zeta: I would have to say it is the whole two years of my Penn State and AZ career. There was never just one thing that was my favorite. These were some – if not the best – years of my life so far. I loved every minute of it. As I said in my senior farewell speech, I wasn’t here for a long time, but I was here for one hell of a good time.

Why I Picked AZ Over Other Greek chapters: The decision to join Alpha Zeta was pretty much a no-brainer (as long as they decided to accept me). Alpha Zeta has been a home to my family for generations. I was the fourth generation of Seipts to be privileged to call it home, and now it will forever be my home. I knew that the connections and the friendships that were made at AZ will last a lifetime. AZ made my college career one that I will never forget, and for that, I couldn’t be more grateful.

AZ has helped shape me into the man I am today, and it is my hope to be able to give back to it, for we all know how much it has given to us. I came to Penn State knowing a handful of people and walked out with a family and a brotherhood for which I would do anything. All I can say is thank you, and it is my hope that as alumni, we continue to support AZ to keep our traditions alive so that the Morrill Chapter of Alpha Zeta will be around for many years to come!
