On behalf of the New York Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi, I would like endorse Dylan Lustig for president of the Syracuse University Student Association.

The New York Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi is part of the national organization that was founded in 1867. On campus, we understand there are issues that are normally overlooked, especially regarding security. As an organization founded for women, we understand that women see security as a high concern on this campus. Security concerns have risen over the past two semesters due to the increased number of crimes occurring both on and off campus. Lustig’s plan for making this campus more secure is actively endorsed by our organization.

We believe that giving back to the community is one of the greatest things a person and a collective group can do. Our chapter members participate in a program designed for youth known as Champions are Readers, and we actively support our national philanthropy organization, First Book. Lustig’s campaign focuses on the value of a community — a community that is larger than just the SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry campuses.

Lustig’s dedication to the Dean’s Team has been more than 110 percent. He has helped make the newly founded program into a productive group. Lustig understands the concerns of academics, especially advising. He understands that a lasting affect needed to be made on prospective and admitted students, all of which have been and will continue to be accomplished as part of the Dean’s Team. He has proven as an effective leader, while still coming across as relatable.

Pi Beta Phi encourages all SU and ESF students to cast their vote for Lustig. We know that as president of SA, he will work toward making the campus a better place in terms of academics, safety and community service, as well as unifying the campus as a whole.
