GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College first-year student John Robbins ’24, of Toksook Bay, Alaska, had his video testimonial chosen by Sigma Phi Epsilon’s National Fraternity for a social media message to its nearly 15,000 Twitter followers recently.
Robbins’ video message was posted on Twitter and explained why joining Thiel College’s chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was valuable during a world-wide pandemic. The nearly two-minute long video discussed the peer support that Robbins said can ease the anxiety a new college student might be experiencing.
Robbins is a media and journalism major and a 2020 graduate of Penn-Trafford High School (Harrison City, Pa.). Robbins’ father, Michael ’96, is a 1996 graduate of Thiel College.
