Hi there! I am a graduating senior in Global Studies. I will be the first member of my family to graduate from college. For that reason, I am grateful for my family and friends, and my fraternal brothers, my NAK Carnales.

NAK is a Fraternity on campus and our Pillars represent our commitment to Academics, Brotherhood and Culture. But, what does Nu Alpha Kappa mean to me? During Fall 2012 I had made up my mind: I was ready to drop out of college due to financial hardship. However, it was through NAK that I found a motivation to keep fighting. As a first generation immigrant, I never really had close friends or extended family members, so when I became a NAK I did not gain friends, but a family that I could count on.

My brothers have been there for me every step of the way. Hence, being part of the first (Alpha) class for my Fraternity chapter fills me with pride and honor that I intend to share with future members. Being part of this organization has been one of the highlights of my college career. I was able to develop social skills by promoting fundraising events and I learned that focus, commitment and drive are the main components to run an organization and any event that we hold as a chapter. I know I may graduate and focus on my professional life in the years to come, but something I will never forget is that Once a NAK, Always a NAK, Until the Day we Die! Best of luck to all my X Chapter Brothers and know that I will always cherish you all and the memories we developed together.

Sincerely,

Cristopher Mora
