ABOUT ME!
Authentic - Personable - Creative
Hi!! My name is Braylin Barkey and I am a 20 year old student at Abilene Christian University. I am currently a Junior pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Advertising and Public Relations, as well as minors in Communications and Business Marketing. My estimated graduation date is May 2026.
Outside of school I love to spend time with my friends, go on long walks, and cook! I adore traveling and gaining new experiences, and grew this love studying abroad in Oxford, England summer of 2024.
Current Creative Role
Sigma theta chi
Sorority social director
abilene christian university
My role as Social Director involves creating, budgeting, and executing all club and date events throughout two semesters.
I budget $125,000 over four main events and a few smaller-scale events, over two semesters in this position. Skills I have grown immensely in through this role are organization, time management, and communication. For each event I have a vision that I work to communicate to vendors, other officers, and our club sponsors, all requiring the growth of professional communication skills.
I express creativity in theme ideas, venue selection, decor choices and layout, and all accompanying graphics. I strive to curate events that represent the dynamic, bright personalities that embody our sorority! I pride myself in thinking of the wants of each girl in club when planning, and for attention to detail in every step I take!
As a sorority officer, I am expected to fulfill my role while aiding all other officers in any way they need. Although I have my busier seasons around the times of my events, in any downtime I help out in every way I can. I aid in every gathering our sorority hosts, arriving early and staying late, I work with our officer team to ensure all University standards and requirements are being upheld, and above all, I keep myself available to the girls of my sorority.
I recognize that I am not only viewed as their party planner but also as one of their leaders! So I work to be an open, loving, and consistent leader in my role!
What I Love Most about my Role…
Being able to see the ideas and plans I create in my mind come to life! & being lucky enough to watch my events become spaces that foster community and life long memories for others!
