Walker Alpha Beta, University of Arizona, Omicron, Region I Erin Walker has served in leadership positions for two different collegiate chapters. At Delta Eta, her initiating chapter, she served as Vice President Ritual before transferring and affiliating with Alpha Beta, where she served as Editor, Vice President Ritual, and finally President for the 2014-2015 academic year. In the words of her chapter, "Erin's unwavering loyalty to music, her community and her sisters was shown through the responsibilities she willingly accepted and dutifully fulfilled." As chapter president, she took the reins of a chapter struggling to get back on their feet and managed to organize the chapter while boosting the spirits and morale of the sisters. She solidified their bonds as members of this treasured sisterhood. Her love of music resounds in our fraternity, but also in the community through her volunteer work at the Fine Arts Youth Academy and the "Opening Minds through the Arts" program run by the Tucson Unified School District. When asked about her National Fraternity viewpoint, Erin replied, "I love this fraternity. It has provided me with a safe and loving environment to grow, not only as a musician, but as an individual as well. roughout my nearly 6 years in SAI, I've grown fonder of this organization each and every day and plan on being highly involved in any way that I can throughout my life."
