Organization Achieves New Height of Diversity

The Wilson Aggie Service Program (WASP) announced the success of their application season last week. The organization, a leadership and service seminar that offers a significant weekend experience for underclassmen, reached the highest proportion of diversity in organizational history. According to executive staff, the highly distinguished WASP delegates selected for the program now represent two top tier sororities, two highly esteemed fraternities, and both of the most competitive mens’ organizations.

WASP director Kristi Emerson commended former and fellow executives for their efforts during recruitment to gain new delegates. “The results of our rush, I mean application process, astounded me,” Emerson said. “Through sign holding on Athens Drive, going door to door in Callaway House, and relying on our own personal networks, we found exactly the WASP delegates we were looking for.”

Fellow members and staff of the organization also applauded this achievement. “As a proud sister in Chi Kappa Phi, I am very happy to see my sisters finally represented as members,” said Abby Marshall, the assistant director of WASP. “I remember when only girls in Pi Delta had a shot of being chosen, and now we have become so much more open to diversity.

Justin Yancy, a fellow WASP executive and member of the Aggie Males Club, agreed with Marshall’s sentiments. “Now it doesn’t matter which country club we played at growing up, because the organizational diversity of each member will provide incredible diversity of thought.”

(The Wilson Aggie Service Program accepts freshman and sophomore applicants each fall and welcomes all applications to continue the legacy of WASP leadership and service.)
