Happy 💛 Once an Alpha Phi, always our Brightstar. She has left a glow in our chapter that will never fade 🫶 We are beyond proud of everything you’ve accomplished and the woman you’ve become 🤞🏻
Let’s hear about her experience 🎙️
“Hi everyone! My name Bright Star Rodriguez.
I’m a graduating senior with a B.S. in Health Sciences and I joined Alpha Phi as a transfer student from the Peralta district Spring ‘24. I’ve always had a passion for singing, trying new foods, hanging out with friends and family, the gym, and as of recently have been getting back into my journaling hobby.
I joined Alpha Phi in the most unexpected but perfect way ✨ I first came across it while scrolling through different organizations before I transferred, and then I saw their recruitment table after class which felt like a little sign 🫶.
My experience in Alpha Phi has been nothing short of amazing ✨ From the very beginning, I felt welcomed, supported, and truly seen for who I am. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been getting to be a big—not just once, but twice 🥹 I was lucky enough to pick up two littles, and each of those moments meant so much to me 🤍
Through my Alpha Phi journey I had the opportunity to serve as both the Coordinator of Alum & Family Engagement and the Director of Events. These experiences helped me grow in leadership, confidence, and organization, and made my time in Alpha Phi even more meaningful 🦋✨
One of the most emotional memories was seeing my big graduate 🥺 Even though our time together felt short, we still continue to make time for each other now, which just shows how strong and lasting the sisterhood here really is picking up my 2 littles,Caroline and Carina, will always be some of my favorite memories 💞
After graduation, I hope to bring more empathy and a public health perspective back into the medical field. I want to be part of a space where patients feel truly seen, heard, and safe. Pursuing a focus in mental health is an additional path I want to take alongside becoming a PA 🫂”
We love you dearly, Brightstar 💌
