In this role, she supports the Fraternity’s commitment to accelerating its growth by coaching chapters who are aspiring to expand their membership through the recruitment process. She also previously served at Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women as a Traveling Leadership Development Consultant. She is ambitious, hard-working, and she faces each new chapter of her life with enthusiasm, and that is why she makes the perfect guest on Fraternity Foodie!

We find out why Rainey chose Loyola Marymount University, what was special about Pi Beta Phi at California Nu Chapter, what she worked on as a Traveling Leadership Development Consultant for Pi Beta Phi, what the shift was like to a men’s fraternity at DKE, advice to chapters who want to grow the size of their organization but are really struggling in this virtual environment, how we can increase collaboration with other councils and chapters, why assessments are important, and why mental health first aid could help our fraternities and sororities.
