Phi Delta Theta FraternityWhat’s been happening: The first member of the fourth consecutive generation of my family to attend the University of Washington, I proudly followed the footsteps of my great-grandfather and father (Webb Hopkins, '75) and joined the Washington Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Theta in 2000. During my senior year in 2004, I was honored to represent my brothers as Chapter President-I look back fondly on my trip to the Presidents' Leadership Conference in St. Louis that year. After taking time away from school, during which I gained experience as a sports broadcaster/announcer and co-starred in my first independent film (Zombies of Mass Destruction), I received my BA in Comparative Literature: Cinema Studies in 2008. I moved to Los Angeles in 2010 and immediately became involved at the renowned Groundlings Theatre, where I regularly perform improv/sketch comedy. That same year, I co-starred in my second feature film (Junk) and recently wrapped my third (Dead Body) in the summer of 2014. For the past year, I have worked at Film Independent, helping produce marquee events such as the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Film Independent Spirit Awards. The remainder of 2014 will be filled with travel, including a trip to Seattle at the end of September, where I'll be meeting my brothers for a 10-year reunion. We'll be visiting our chapter house, watching the Huskies take on Stanford at Husky Stadium and sharing memories about the fantastic time we shared in the Phi Delt house. Go Dawgs! |
