Joining a sorority was not something she ever thought she would do and was a huge step outside of her comfort zone during college. “I found that I was capable of more than I had given myself credit for,” Dana shared. From big moments such as recruitment and Initiation to everyday events, the Sisterhood was more than she ever imagined it would be and gave her confidence on a whole new level.

Dana felt she had gained Sisters who always had her back and who cheered her on through every step of her ROTC military training. “I don’t even think I would have been able to become an Army Aviator if one of my Sisters hadn’t driven me to the interview because I couldn’t afford a car at the time.

Dana credits her friends as her biggest inspiration in life. “I’m so thankful to have friends who pick each other up when one of us is down or share in celebrating our success,” she remarked. “The right people will always be in your corner and your success will mean so much more to you if you stay genuine to yourself.”
