Not only does the University of Iowa have a new Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, but it has its first—this inaugural position is held by Chad Warrick, Akron ’09. Taking the next step in what continues to be a distinguished higher education career, Warrick is excited for his new position and about the idea of leading a team in the exploration of “pushing innovation and thinking differently.” Prior to his arrival, the university had an associate director heading up the fraternity and sorority life, but as the greek community continues to grow, there was a need to bring in someone with more experience.

Warrick started his career with Wichita State working with multicultural organizations on campus. While he was there the multicultural greek council doubled in size. Feeling a bit too far away from home, Warrick made the tough decision to leave Wichita State and found his new home somewhere he never thought he would go. Arriving in State College, Warrick began working with panhellenic organizations at Penn State University. Eventually being promoted to Senior Assistant Director, Warrick left a lasting mark on the Penn State greek community. Redefining what education looked like within the community, he implemented a number of programs, held book clubs and discussions with student leaders, and was a leader in the growth of greek organizations.

Paired with his flourishing career, Warrick is also a leader within our organization. Currently serving as the National Education Dean and President of the Housing Corp at Akron, Warrick keeps his local and national fraternal ties strong. Join us in congratulating Chad Warrick and wishing him well on the Iowa campus.
