Victoria Nguyen - President
Hello! My name is Victoria Nguyen and I crossed Fall 2014 at Kappa Chapter. I received my B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Dallas, and my M.S. from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. I had the honor to serve as chapter President, Philanthropy Chair, Recruitment Chair, Graphics Chair, National Board Texas Governor, and National Board Vice President. Through the support of Sigmas, I am now pursuing my medical degree at Foster School of Medicine.
Sigmas have been an integral part of my life that gave me the greatest support system and relationships that continue to inspire me.
I believe life is made from what we give to each other and our community. To serve a group of women whom I admire and adore makes me work from a place of gratitude. I love learning from my sisters’ unique perspectives and incorporating them into innovative ways to lead and grow.
IVY LEE - Vice President
Raised in Dallas as a first-generation immigrant, I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Supply Chain Management, and have been working in the tech manufacturing space ever since. Working in this industry, I'm always thinking on my feet, and solving problems in the global supply chain.
I crossed Sigma Phi Omega in Fall 2013, and during my activeship, I held positions as the Social Chair, Service Chair, and Treasurer. Through Sigmas, I learned valuable leadership skills and cultivated my passion for mentoring and uplifting women in our community. My fondest memories are from being active in Sigmas, and I'm incredibly appreciative of the lifelong connections I've made through this sisterhood.
I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and trying new food from all over the world. One of my favorite traveling memories is doing a solo backpacking trip across Thailand. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, and staying active with my pup while we visit all the parks in the Austin area.
Brittany tom sun - Secretary
I was born and raised in Sacramento, the beautiful city of trees! After graduating high school, I wanted the opportunity to move to a big exciting city. This desire led me to CSULB in Spring 2011 where I majored in fashion merchandising. Being new to the area, I only knew one other person who attended CSULB from my high school. I immediately chose to join Sigma Phi Omega after seeing the opportunities I would have to meet new people. At the chapter level, I fulfilled many positions with my favorite being alumni chair. Shortly after graduating, I became our chapter's alumni advisor and was then elected to our National Board as CA Governor. Then, I had the privilege of serving alongside a strong team of executives as National Board President for the last four years (2017-2021). Together, we lead the chapters through the pandemic while promoting our philanthropy on & off-campus. We were able to do this without compromising our drive for academic excellence and upholding our tradition of promoting a greater womanhood. This next move to serving on our Charitable Foundation will allow me to focus more on our organization's philanthropic efforts and aid with supporting our annual scholarship program.
My professional life finds me as an Analyst for Travelers Insurance while continuing to work part-time coaching competitive gymnastics. I've been in my current position since the spring of 2020 and relocated to Orange County from Torrance. I have coached competitive gymnastics for 11 years; 6 of them in Redondo Beach and am presently in Fountain Valley. I coach gymnasts aged 7 to 17 and spend springtime attending competitions throughout Southern CA.
I passionately give back through serving in many capacities because Sigmas has provided me the opportunity to meet my best friends, make lasting memories, and continuously helped me develop my leadership skills. When I reflect on my college experience, I am thankful for the opportunity in 2011 to join Sigmas and wouldn't change it for the world. I hope that by continuing to give back, I can help provide the same meaningful experience I had throughout college and beyond to all my sisters (both old and new).
Abigail flores - Treasurer
I was born and raised in a small town in Texas. I am a mother of two beautiful boys, Mateo and Noah, and a wife. Growing up I always knew I would attend Texas A&M University and follow the footsteps of my siblings. While attending school, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and join a sorority. I was drawn into Sigma Phi Omega by not only the welcoming environment but also how much they do as an organization to bring awareness for their philanthropy on our campus. I crossed Spring 2015, I gained so many amazing sisters, bigs, and a wonderful WILD family line. The following semesters, I was able to gain some of the best littles I could have ever asked for. I graduated December 2016 with a Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies with an Emphasis in Bilingual Education and minor in Spanish. I’m currently certified to teach Early Childhood- 6th grade in the state of Texas. I am in my fourth year and loving every moment. I have been a part of the charitable board for several years either in a director position or simply as a board member.
