Pippin elected to national fraternity office
Trey Pippin, McConnell Scholar Class of 2012
Pippin is a junior McConnell Scholar at the University of Louisville and president of the local Beta Beta fraternity chapter.
As president of the national undergraduate board, Pippin will lead a group of undergraduate students to serve as a voice to the national council.
"I decided to run for the Undergraduate Advisory Board because I saw a unique opportunity to be a part of expanding undergraduate involvement and influence on a national level," Pippin said. "I think my experiences as a young president of a large chapter lend me an interesting perspective that the other members of the board found important."
