Whitlee Rainwater ‘10
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Van Buren, AR
I truly believe, “To whom much is given, of him much is required.” What little good I’ve accomplished in life is solely because of God.
After joining Sigma Phi Epsilon, I connected with so many people. I was lucky to be surrounded by so many driven guys who wanted to be great as well. Through the leadership positions I held I learned how to work with people. I learned how to earn their trust, inspire a shared vision, and enable others.
I’ll never forget bid day of my senior year at UCA when my brother, J.B., joined SigEp. As president, I wanted to give all of the new members the best experience and tools to be successful at UCA and beyond. Having my younger brother join the chapter was just extra motivation to deliver that experience for them.
I’ve carried many things I learned in the UCA classroom into my career. I’m thankful for my professors and my overall experience at UCA. My family and friends have always been in my corner, and I try to give them my best. J.B. and I work three different businesses together, and I am very passionate about each one. It’s an enormous challenge, and there’s always something to be done, which keeps me busy.
My Greek experience was more than I would’ve imagined and at times, surreal.
