Holly Roddy


Holly is a third year studying Hospitality Management with a Business Minor.

What is your favorite part about Phi Sigma Pi?
  • My Favorite part of PSP is the variety of people in it. You get more out of interactions when there's opposing opinions and a wide spectrum of views.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
  • If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life I'd probably go crazy. I'd probably pick the Arctic Monkey's acoustic version of 'Cornerstone' though. That's the most played song on my iTunes and I'm still not sick of it because it's just pretty and simple.
What is one goal you currently have?
  • One of my the main goals I have for myself right now is to pay attention to my physical and mental health. With classes and work it's so easy to skip sleeping or eat junk food so I've been mindful of making sure I'm still taking care of myself.

Marissa is a second year studying Dance and minoring in History.


What is your favorite part about Phi Sigma Pi?
  • My favorite part of PSP is all the amazing people here at Beta Iota, especially my family! 
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
  • Being an avid Disney fan, it would have to be a Disney song. One of my favorites is "Go the Distance" from Hercules. This song inspires me to push myself to achieve every time I hear it. 
What is one goal you currently have?
  • To relax! I am always busy and always have a to-list in my head. My goal is to set aside time for myself and read a book or watch Netflix!

Anne Lemieux

Anne is a third year studying Spanish and Speech and Hearing Science.

What is your favorite part about Phi Sigma Pi?
  • My favorite part about Phi Sigma Pi is definitely getting to know all the Brothers, new and old, over time. I love how all the Brothers share the same tripod values, yet still have such diverse interests. It makes for a great dynamic!

What is your favorite Ohio State memory?
  • My favorite Ohio State memory, by far, is when we won the National Championship. I loved rushing the stadium and feeling the camaraderie between all of the thousands of Buckeyes who were there with me that night.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
  • If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would definitely be ice cream. Specifically, I would eat a Jeni's trio with Milkiest Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, and Buckeye State flavors with Salty Caramel sauce on top and a waffle wedge.
