By Rolando Alvarez

Megan Kathleen Chase, born in Temecula, California and raised in Flower Mound Texas. She is currently a sophomore at Stephen F. Austin and is a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

Chase moved to Texas back in ’98 along with her parents and two brothers; Chase is the middle child and the only girl in the family. Chase started singing in elementary school and continued singing up to high school. She was part of the Grammy Award winning choir program at the school and has performed in multiple weddings and sorority recruitments. She also won a 1^st division award in solo and ensemble. While in high school she played sports such as tennis; she won second place in a regional tournament.

From time to time she suffers from chronic migraines she has been dealing with from such a young age. Her freshman year in high school she missed a whole month of class because she came down with pneumonia. Fortunately, she got better and resumed classes.

Upon arriving at Stephen F. Austin, Chase said she chose to come here because she enjoys the nature and small community Nacogdoches has to offer.

This fall semester her sorority elected her as part of the PanHellenic Executive Board. Chase is deeply involved with Greek life.

Initially chase came to SFA as a journalist major but later found interest in the radio/tv field, she said she feels like she would be much more productive in this type of field. Chase says she enjoys her major and does not regret changing it, “my classes are so much fun and I have met tons of nice people, I do not regret changing my major from journalism, radio/tv is so much fun!”

A couple interesting facts about chase is that she has a Texas shaped birthmark on the left side of her face and she has been a part of multiple musicals hosted by her school. 

In ten years Chase said she would love to be married and have children, “I would love to get married and have children of my own, I would try to be the best mother and educate my children as well as my parents educated me.” Chase wants to be a producer after she graduates from SFA, “I want to be a producer after I leave SFA, I want to be one of the best around and be competitive in my field, hopefully ill work hard enough to achieve this and make my parents proud, but more importantly myself.”
