Finally, our last but certainly not least Senior to send off is Geoff Taylor! Geoff played trumpet for the Syracuse University Bands and is a member of the Alpha Mu class. We asked him some questions to reflect on the fun memories and here are his answers: What will you miss most about SU? I will miss being so close to all of my friends all the time... What is your favorite memory from Kappa? Favorite kappa experiences are similar to marching band experiences beating Clemson, winning camping world bowl and so on. But the friends I have made and the times I shared with them are my real favorites. Which brother (current or former) has had the greatest impact on you and why? Cassie Leachman has had the largest effect on me by far. Who else would keep me in check? Who else would wait with me for Tater to finish showering? Absolutely vital force in my college experience. Is there anything you would change about your college experience? I would focus more on time management in college. Would make my job experience a little easier at the moment Do you have any post graduation plans? I plan on finding a tech job in Atlanta and making my way back to the northeast. Is there anything you would like to say to future members? I would say that for most of us, this is the most enriching thing we did in all of our college experience. It is absolutely true for me. Give it a shot if you like the people. The friends I made here will be with me for the rest of my life. We’ll miss you Geoff and good luck with everything that you do!

(Thank Eta Beta for making that trip unforgettable) Which brother (current or former) has had the greatest impact on you and why? Eddie Schwearing is someone that I look up to very highly. He has impacted the way I look at everyday life. He’s helped me change my perspective and views on a lot of subjects. Is there anything you would change about your college experience? If I did not have to leave a year early like I am, that would be great. I’d love to have another year with my closest friends (especially my Alpha Nu class). Also if Covid didn’t ruin my last year here, that would’ve been nice. Do you have any post graduation plans? I’m heading to Fredonia to finish my Music Ed degree, and I’m hoping to gig a lot more. Is there anything you would like to say to future members? Sometimes it’s important to sacrifice time out of your day to be with your friends. I highly regret not being around as much as I could because my busy schedule. Your success in life won’t bring you happiness if you don’t have anyone to celebrate your success with. Also, never stop being a kid, and always find a way to get into some trouble. Life is a lot more fun that way. We’ll miss you Gio and good luck with everything that you do!

John helped bring me into Kappa and shared a lot of great moments with me throughout the process and when I was a brother. Geoff and Ethan have been my day one boys. They both have been a brother in a fraternal sense as well as a literal sense. Geoff has taught me a lot about life whereas Ethan has taught me a lot about when we rushed together. They both have seen me at my highest high and lowest low and have always been there for me, for which I’ll be forever grateful for. Is there anything you would change about your college experience?
