Despite that, joining the leader community was the best decision I could've made in college — FOP truly is a space for everyone. My favorite FOP memory is waking up one of our birthday FOPpers at the crack of dawn with a chocolatey peanut butter (tortilla) crepe (we had to get creative) and getting to celebrate them on their birthday! Whether it be doubts about personal fit with FOP or general questions about the application process, I can't wait to talk and to get to know you better!!
