Where do I fit in in all of this?
The Apollo universe is made up of four amazing constellations: Andromeda, Draco, Lynx, and Phoenix. Constellations provide an opportunity for members to create lasting friendships through more in-depth connection and specific constellation events. Each constellation is led by two seasoned veterans of Apollo known as commanders. Commanders act as a source of innovation and inclusion that members can build off of in order to continually push Apollo to be a better organization than it already is. Constellations are one hundred percent inclusive and give way to friendly competition within Apollo, as the Constellation Cup is the most coveted achievement within the organization. Each constellation, and therefore every single member, plays a huge role in making Apollo THON's best organization.
How can I get involved?
To start, attend a meeting. You will be sorted into a constellation, like Harry Potter except instead of a hat you are sorted by a computer. Through constellation-specific events, you will get to know a mix of new and old Apollo members. Throughout the year, we will also hold a wide variety of events from our Food Truck Fiesta to canvassing trips, all leading up to THON weekend! Leading up to THON weekend, we will focus on fundraising, but you can get a head start by visiting our fundraising page. Remember, this is all for the kids!

I am a senior majoring in professional photography. My hobbies include taking photos, being outside, hanging with friends, traveling, going to concerts, and snowboarding when it gets cold outside. I THON to make sure that every kid gets to live the life that we all live. We are all very fortunate to live the life we do. This is my second year as a member in Apollo and it is going to be a very fun year. A fun fact about me is my parents are from Ireland and sometimes when I say certain words they sound super strange to people but I can do a pretty good Irish accent also.
