Association Officers

Ann-Margaret Alexander

President

I am so excited about another year as President of the Greater Raleigh Alumnae Association. We have a full calendar of events and I am looking forward to seeing all of you! Just a little about me - I am a member of House Board and prior Advisor to the Secretary of Eta Chi (NCSU). I was President of Epsilon Kappa chapter at the University of South Carolina as an undergraduate. I have lived in the Raleigh area since 1988. I am a practicing attorney with the law firm of Alexander & Doyle, PA in Cary, NC. My husband, Keith, and I have a daughter named Emma.

1st VP of Events

Rachel Bishop

2nd VP of Membership co-chair

While at Auburn University (Epsilon Eta), I was a very active member of Kappa especially when it involved giving back to our local community through literacy, equine therapy, and the Big Brother Big Sister program. As an adult, I enjoy serving my community through voluteerism to women's organizations, dog rescue, and people with special needs (Night to Shine). Though my husband and I only moved to the Raleigh area in 2017, I have been an proud member of other North Carolina Kappa alumnae associations prior to this one. The well-rounded and diverse women in the Triangle have created a top-tier alumnae association that we would love to have you join! I am honored to have been asked to lead our Greater Raleigh Alumnae Association as the Membership co-chair, after previously serving as Philanthropy, and look forward to working alongside and strengthening my relationships with my Kappa sisters as we give back to our Triangle community.

Jo Seekins

Treasurer

I am a graduate of Clemson University with a degree in Financial Management. As a Kappa there, I served as Treasurer of my chapter. I also have two sisters who were Kappas at Clemson, my oldest one being a founding member of Epislon Mu chapter. I have been active in the Greater Raleigh Alum Association for the past 30 years. I previously served as Treasurer of our group and look forward to serving again in the upcoming year. I am retired, having worked in corporate finance. I live in Cary, am married, and have two grown sons who live in NC. I LOVE college football and enjoy cooking and gardening.

Karen Taber

Secretary

Being a member of the GRAA has been a wonderful welcoming experience. Shortly after joining, I became more involved by helping out with Philanthropy and now as Secretary. I moved to Raleigh in 2014 from Boston, but I am a California native at heart. While at Epsilon Pi (UC Riverside) I held the offices of Scholarship Chair and Corresponding Secretary. I live in North Raleigh with my husband Mark, son Brad, and our two cockapoos.

Megan Parrish

Kappa Konnections

I am thrilled to be working as the Kappa Konnections Chair. I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2019 and was a member of the Eta Chi chapter. I grew up in the Virginia Beach area, but fell in love with the Raleigh area after college. Currently, I work for a storm water management company in Raleigh as an Aquatic Technician. I am very much looking forward to growing our community in the greater Raleigh area. I really hope to make an impact this year.

Brooke Osborne

Philanthropy

I am very excited to be stepping into the role of Philanthropy Chairman for GRAA! I am originally from Idaho but attended the University of Utah where I served as Philanthropy Chairman for Delta Eta chapter and had a wonderful experience in this role. I relocated to North Carolina for graduate school and ended up loving the Raleigh area and decided to move here shortly after. I currently practice as a Physician Assistant and in my free time love to spend time outdoors with my furry best friend, Lola. I look forward to seeing you at our future events!

I am honored to serve as the Social Media Coordinator for GRAA! I graduated from NC State University where I served as the Eta Chi chapter president. Recently, I graduated from Campbell Law School and I will be practicing in Raleigh. The Eta Chi chapter, GRAA members, and the Kappas in the Raleigh area hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to another great year of GRAA!
