This week, we are highlighting a great brother, Niew Bharyaguntra!
Niew is 21 years old, became a brother in the Fall of 2011, and is a part of the Alpha Omicron class. Niew's nickname is Thumper, she's in the Phoenix Line, and her big is Amanda Purcell!
Positions Held: Treasurer, Joint Secretary, Brotherhood Chair
Major: Theater Design and Production
This is Niew's 9th and final semester here at Towson and she is a Trombone player
We asked Niew why she joined Kappa Kappa Psi, she said:
"Ultimately, I needed something transitional in my life that would motivate me to work hard every day. I was already doing the service subconsciously during band and then when I had learned that a majority of my friends were already in KKPsi, it seemed only right. KKPsi gives me that motivation and so much more beyond that!"
We asked Niew for some of her favorite memories of being a brother, she responded:
"I think some of my most favorite memories are the ones when we're going crazy because we're exhausted from the day's work. There's this happiness in the air regardless of how tired we are and I just love that. I remember there was this one game where it began to pour right as the game was ending. You would think we'd get upset having to clean up in the pouring ran but there wasn't a frown around. It was the most fun I had while doing service. We were out in the rain for a solid 40 minutes but every second was perfect."
Because Niew is graduating in December, we asked Niew for her after-graduation plans, and she graciously told us this:
GO TO DISNEYWORLD! Also, I'm moving back home to the D.C area. I'll continue working for Arena Stage in their Community Engagement department while finding more theatre gigs around the Baltimore/D.C area. You can catch me assistant stage managing at Rep Stage at HCC in March for their final production of the season, "Venus in Fur"!!! But really, I'm also going to Disney World and indulging in the fact that I won't have to do any school work for a while.
"Niew, tell us at least 3 fun facts about you":
I'm a first generation Asian-American!
Anything Else you'd like to add, Niew?:
Give me a job. Lol, just kidding! (But really....)
To wrap up her BotW post, we asked Niew for her favorite quote. She said:
"Love art in yourself and yourself in art." - Stanislavski
Niew is an integral part of the theater department here at Towson, and has been apart of productions of Spring Awakening, The Colored Museum, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Sadness of Small Cakes, and so many more. Niew is very passionate about theater as well as this brotherhood, and although we are sad to see her go, we know she will do amazing things in the theater world and represent KKPsi well! Niew participated in the Towson University Marching Band for 3 seasons and was a part of the Low Brass section, as well as our Tiger Pep Band. Congrats to you Niew on your coming graduation and we wish you nothing but the best in whatever you choose to do! AEA always <3
