Cari Youngen (September 2001)
Kianu Active- Class of 2003

Nomination:

Logan and Cari

I would like to nominate Cari Youngen for "The Girl with the Arrow". She is my big sister and I love her. I was introduced to her through my boyfriend's big brother which is her boyfriend. Ever since then we have been great friends. I remember seeing her when I was working out for volleyball and saying to myself, "She looks like a nice girl, hopefully I can get to know her." To tell you the truth I was actually intimidated by her. She seemed to know everyone on campus and was always wearing a smile. I just didn't know if she'd want to be friends with me. As it turns out we were introduced and hit it off. We even went to Florida together for Spring Break.

Cari and Logan

She never forced Chi Alpha Nu on me, she just told me it was a wonderful club and about the many things it has to offer. I told myself then I wanted to be like her and take advantage of what the club has to offer. I will tell you I had a hard time deciding between Kianu and one other sorority, but Cari was the deciding factor. I wanted to be friends with girls like her that I knew I could count on and who all had common goals. I love it. I have enjoyed every minute of being a Kianu since. Thank you Cari for the wonderful friendship we have and thank you Chi Alpha Nu for the opportunity you have given me. I intend to put into the club what you have given me. I love you Cari, and my Chi Alpha Nu sisters.
