“I am honored and humbled that my fellow alumni have entrusted me in leading our AVC during this vital time in our chapter’s history,” said Reynolds. “I am excited to work with our undergraduates to give back the gifts that I was given as an undergrad and looking forward to working with our board to build stronger bonds with our alumni and undergraduate brothers.”
