I am truly honored to serve our beloved Eta Theta chapter and completely filled with gratitude to our brothers, who continue to amaze me by going above and beyond every day."

This year, the ASU chapter won two South Central Province Awards for Outstanding Financial Operations and Outstanding Scholastic Development. The South Central Province includes 30 DSP student chapters at colleges and universities in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma.
