Major: Data Science and Statistics & French

Year: Junior

​

​Hi! My name is Virginia but everyone calls me Ginni. I am sophomore Data Science and Statistics major with a double major in French. I grew up in New Orleans and I went to a bilingual French school up until middle school, so I speak somewhat fluently. Coming from Louisiana, there’s a different culture there so adjusting to life at UCSB was difficult the first few months. However, I met wonderful girls across many chapters in my dorm (FT!!) that helped me feel at home. I even brought a few to mardis gras and we had a blast! My favorite part of Greek life here is that since it’s somewhat smaller, you get a chance to expand your friendships across all chapters. It’s safe to say, I have people I can rely on, not only in my house, but in a majority of sororities here. Some cool facts about me is that I have ducks and chickens back home and I am trying to get good at scrapbooking. Since I’ve fallen in love with my community here, I am trying to ensure nothing is forgotten at my time at UCSB so I feel scrapbooking is such a good way to look back at the memories I’ve made with my panhel sisters!
