Vroonland, who is a member of
Beta Theta Phi, said his role as IFC
president is to represent the A&M
fraternity system to the student
body, faculty and community.
“i oversee the IFC, which is com
prised of a twelve member execu
tive board and voting members
comprised of the president and a
representative from each fraterni
ty,” he said. “Together, we make de
cisions that will effect the entire fra
ternity system.”
As IFC president, Vroonland said
he strives to portray A&M’s fraterni
ty system in a positive light.
Dave Deangelous, IFC adviser,
said he admires Vroonland’s dili
gence and work ethic.
“He is committed to furthering
the Greek community with a vi
sion of excellence,” he said. “He
does this by collaborating with the
IFC chapters, the Greek system
and the A&M community.”
Collin Comer, a Beta Theta Phi
member and a senior accounting
and finance major, said Vroonland

has a good vision of his goals.
“He (Vroonland) can take an
idea from ground level and make it
happen,” he said. “He has strong
determination and can take some
thing from thin air and make (it]
into reality.”
Vroonland said he wants to stay in
Texas and find a job working as a
management consultant after grad
uation. Deangelous said Vroonland
will succeed in his future endeavors.
“He is a self-motivated student
with great follow-through," he said.

“If there is a problem that needs
attention, Dr. Southerland is right
on it,” he said. “He’ll walk right
into the president’s office, send an
e-mail or genrcnf rhe phoneuo fix
the problem.”
Childers said Southerland is ef
fective as vice president of student
affairs because of his dedication to
helping A&M students.
“I’ve often heard Southerland say
that he has the best job in the world,”
Cliilders said. “It takes a lot of time and
effort to find out what students want,
but Dr. Southerland has this love for
his job as a student advocate.”
Childers said Southerland is an
unpredictable person, often
showing up unexpectedly at stu
dent functions or classrooms
with University President Dr. Ray
M. Bowen.
“It’s certainly not uncommon for
Dr. Southerland to stop by the stu
dent government office and help
the Fish Aides answer phones,”
Childers said. “It’s his philosophy,
and he does it with a genuine sense
of interest.”
Southerland was raised in the
Houston area, and his family is
from east Texas. He graduated from
San Jacinto High School, where he
participated in ROTC.
Southerland said he attended
A&M because of his ROTC experi
ence in high school and his interest
in being commissioned. He joined
the Corps of Cadets as a freshman.
He graduated in May 1965 with a
bachelor’s degree in businesffl 6 re * e:
