Rachel Schaeffer by Lauren Kleinschmidt

Rachel Schaeffer is a brother of Alpha Beta. She was the ICR chair of this last year. Part of her
duties was to plan nationals and sectionals and she really did a fantastic job. She also started multiple
programs that connect us to other chapters including APictureOf and Brother Swap. Next semester, she
will be the marketing chair! I know she will do great things with that position as well.

Rachel is a junior in the Food Science program. She spent her first year at Binghamton in New
York but transferred to Penn State for her sophomore year which is when she pledged APO (fall 2011).
A friend who was a brother at the time told her about it so she joined. She spent last summer working
at an internship at Hershey Park and will be continuing there last summer (so we should all go visit her
there!).

She has a twin brother who also goes here, an older brother, and a dog. Her biggest fear is
witnessing an accident or being a part of an accident. An interesting fact about her is that she hiked the
Grand Canyon. A fun fact about her is that she tells people that she’s 4’11 when in reality she’s only
4’10½.
