Lion Voices: Alexis Davis
Happy Friday, Lions! In honor of sorority recruitment this week, our feature is the woman in charge of it all, Alexis Davis. Alexis is a senior psychology
major and social work minor from Sallisaw, Oklahoma. She is Vice President of Panhellenic
Recruitment, Membership Assistant for Campus Activities Board (CAB), and a 2021 Cub
Camp counselor.
Alexis decided to join a sorority the second semester of her freshman year through
continuous open bidding (COB). She wanted to get involved on campus but didn鈥檛 want
to go through formal recruitment, postponing her bid so she could learn to juggle
college life first. 鈥淟ittle did I know though how big of an impact going Greek would
have on me and made the person I am today,鈥 Alexis said. 鈥淚 remember being a shy and
timid girl who barely left her dorm room and only hung out with a couple people that
I knew from high school. You can ask anyone who knew me then versus now, I鈥檝e grown
and stepped outside of my comfort zone in more ways than I though possible because
I gained all of these sisters and an amazing advisor who saw and continues to see
Sonics potential in me even when I鈥檓 not able to see it.鈥
Her favorite thing about being in a sorority is making memories with her closest friends.
鈥淏eing in a sorority has given me so many leadership opportunities straight from the
start that I would鈥檝e honestly never seen myself hold. For my own chapter, I鈥檝e been
in charge of sisterhood, alumnae relations, banner chairwoman, and I鈥檝e held an executive
council position for two terms. I step in where I鈥檓 needed and finally took the step
to be on Panhellenic Council this year. All of these opportunities have given me the
chance to win New Member of the year in 2019 and Greek Woman of the year in 2020.鈥
When asked who inspires her, Alexis named our Friday Feature from last week, Reagan
Heppner. 鈥淣ot only was she my director as a Cub Camp counselor and as a member of
CAB, but she鈥檚 been a very good friend. Reagan is one of the most selfless, genuine
people I have ever met. She is so intentional and servant-hearted in everything that
she does.
