Anne Strickland is a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority and was initiated at the Beta Omega Chapter at Auburn University. She holds an undergraduate degree in Business and a master’s degree in education, both from Auburn.
Anne started her career in fraternity and sorority life as a graduate assistant at Auburn working with the Panhellenic community. After graduation, she went to work at William & Mary as a coordinator and then as assistant director in the Office of Student Leadership Development. In 2021, Anne began working at Rhodes College as the Director of Student Engagement, and currently resides in Memphis, Tennessee.
She volunteers locally with the Junior League of Memphis and nationally with Alpha Delta Pi as a Panhellenic Relations Director. Anne has many familial ties to Kappa Alpha. Her grandfather is an initiate of the Nu Chapter ay Auburn, her brother and father are initiates of the Theta Commission at the Citadel and her brother-in-law is an initiate from Sigma Chapter at Davidson College.
Anne has been a KA advocate and supporter at each institution she has worked. Most recently, she played an instrumental role in Alpha Epsilon Chapter’s successful return to Rhodes College. At every turn, Anne went above and beyond to provide exceptional support to our alumni, staff, and the new undergraduate members of the chapter. Our return would not have been possible without her support and dedication.
