Trevino new FSL coordinator
Texas A&M University Kingsville’s (TAMUK) search for a new Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) coordinator has ended.
The university has hired David Trevino to fill the position, after a hiring process that allowed FSL student leaders to meet and ask him questions.
“David is familiar with South Texas but attended college outside of South Texas. This gives him an outside perspective of Greek Life, but he also understands South Texas and our students,” Director of Student Activities Erin McClure said.
Trevino attended Texas Tech University for two and a half years before transferring and graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Government.
Trevino hopes to transfer his own college experiences and those working a lobbyist and policy analyst to help Greek Life at TAMUK.
Trevino is an alumnus of FarmHouse, a Greek fraternity founded in 1905 with 36 active chapters.
“I think that honesty is the best policy. Like I’ve told all the officers for College Panhellenic Council (CPC) and Interfraternity Council (IFC), I think admitting when I don’t know something, trying to figure out who to go to, to actually get a real answer to it, and honesty is the best policy,” he said
Along with honesty, Trevino hopes to foster an open-door policy with the goal of maintaining an open dialogue with students.
“Working with David has been a great experience so far,” CPC President Micaela Garcia said. “He is still new in his position as FSL Coordinator but has always made it a point to get to know members personally and has set clear expectations. I look forward to working with David in my term and seeing the great impact he has on our community here at TAMUK.”
Trevino is in the process of getting to know, meet and connect with each chapter on campus.
“My primary goal in this position is to change the perception of A&M Kingsville Greek life,” Trevino said. “I’ve heard in the past that there were some bigger chapters, but it was more of a stereotypical fraternity experience than a leadership development platform that generally Greek Life, for the past 20 years, has morphed into. I want it to be as legitimate of a Greek Life as A&M College Station as UT Austin as Texas Tech University. I want people to know that A&M Kingsville has a legitimate thriving Greek life program.”
