Meet our Sister of the Month: Sabrina Garza!

With such busy lives, we can't always make it to every event or meet every sister. Our "Sister of the Month" posts will give you the chance to get to know a sister you may not have met before or learn a new fun fact about her. Each month we will select a member of our alum association to highlight. If you have any questions or would like to reach out to our Sister of the Month, please email us at laalumpresident@gmail.com. 

February's Sister of the Month: Sabrina Garza

1. What is your name?  Sabrina Garza

2. What is your Hometown?  Corpus Christi, Texas

3. What year were you initiated into Alpha Xi Delta?  2004

4. What chapter and school were you initiated into? The University of Texas; Beta Alpha

5. What is your favorite collegiate memory? Winning the 2005 Football National Championship game.  Hook 'em Horns! \m/

6. What is your favorite post-college Alpha Xi Delta memory?  One of my best friends, Veronica, recently got married in Las Vegas.  It was a huge Alpha Xi Delta reunion!  We were able to make even more fun and unforgettable memories with my sisters.

7. Why is it important for you to stay connected to Alpha Xi Delta through our alumni association? It's important to stay connected to an alumnae association because it provides the opportunity to network and meet AXiD's from all over the country.  This is really important to me because I am new to Los Angeles and being involved has allowed me to meet some amazing women.

8. What is your current occupation?  Environmental Scientist

9. Do you have any hobbies?  I really enjoy dancing, all sports, and playing kickball.  And not just school yard kickball, but actual organized kickball.  I've been playing kickball since the 1st grade.

10. Please share a fun fact we may not know about you.  I was (and let's be serious I still am), a huge teeny bopper.  You can definitely find me at a Backstreet Boys or Britney or New Kids on the Block concert!  If anyone wants to hear about it, I'm always ready to talk about Jordan Knight serenading me at a concert.

11. Where is your favorite restaurant in the Los Angeles area? Favorite Dish?  I'm still looking for it...I guess after 1 year of living here I should have a place by now, but I haven't been as lucky.  I'm always down for sushi so that's a favorite restaurant I'll have to look for.

12. What is your favorite activity in the Los Angeles area?  I live a couple of blocks away from the beach so I like going when I can.  I also like riding my bike on the beach path with my fur-baby, Scarlett.  My 8 pound Yorkie loves riding in the basket.

13. If you could meet one famous person (past or present) who would it be? Beyonce because she is the ultimate diva.

14. What song would you say is your anthem right now? Why? Really into Taylor Swift's "Blankspace" because of it's catchy tune and fun lyrics.

15. Where was your favorite vacation? Or where would you like to visit?  Europe.  I was able to study abroad in Italy with three other AXiD sisters.  We were also able to visit Barcelona and Paris.  I'm definitely overdue for another European vacation
