Clay Radakovich, along with seven other students, went to Southern California for an American Fraternity Leadership conference as a part of the IFC executive committee.

“We learned a lot of new ways to run our Greek communities,” Radakovich said.

Radakovich, who is a member of the fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha, said how, as president of IFC, he acts as a go-between for the trustees and the Greek committee. 

“I take care of most of the administrative stuff for IFC itself,” Radakovich said.

Radakovich has been married since Aug. 7, 2010 and feels that being married as a student and president of IFC is a little of a challenge when it comes to time, but not impossible.

“It’s a little weird,” Radakovich said. “There are a lot of hours you have to put in for your fraternity, and for IFC there are a lot of hours as well, and to do that while being married is a little extra time tax, but it’s nothing that’s too bad.”

Radakovich grew up in Rock Springs and graduated from high school in 2002. He said he has been a long time student here at UW.

“A few trips in, a few trips out,” Radakovich said. “I, like most students, made mistakes earlier on that I had to rectify and done so.”

Radakovich has held every office in his fraternity and said that his involvement in Lambda Chi Alpha has helped make him the person that he is today.

He will be applying for the WWAMI program after he graduates and said he hopes to attend med school.

Radakovich said that he feels that students should get involved with Greek.  

Greek life has received a bad rap lately, but Greek life will help everybody.

“You can keep making excuses for your success or lack of success, but until you own up to those excuses and actually put your nose to the grind stone and put in some hard work, you’re not doing yourself, or the university, a service,” Radakovich said.
