Every year, Michigan State University's Greek Community has a speaker that comes to educate all of the students that are either in sororities or fraternities on campus. In the past, the speaker's have not been known to present very intriguing or beneficial presentations, and tend to come off more as nagging lectures.
This year, it was completely different. Erica Upshaw was this year's speaker, and influenced the Greek Community in a very unique way. Erica also had a mission like most speakers, but the way she delivered her presentation was in a passionate, personal, and relatable way.
Erica told the story about her brother, Joey Upshaw, who lost his life to a night of partying. He and his fraternity brother's were experimenting with the drug, GHB, which was the drug that ended up taking Joey's life.
Erica's presentation truly impacted the Greek Community, offering many of it's members opportunities to become campus representatives in effort to further educate college students about the dangers of partying.
