Ryan on Alpha Rho Chi: "When I first joined Alpha Rho Chi, I never really understood what it was about. Why people stuck around for so long and how a person across the country could easily open their house to you if need be. But once I got involved, started actively participating, it was very clear to me. If we all strive to support each other, we can all achieve more and be better than we would have been without the support of fellow brothers."
