COURTNEY PALOMO WESTON (Iota Pi-Northern Arizona) Real Estate Agent
Former Educational Leadership Consultant (ELC) and current International Governor for Kappa Eta-Florida You may recognize Courtney Palomo Weston (Iota Pi- Northern Arizona) from her viral videos on TikTok, but at Alpha Phi we know her as a member of the Iota Pi Chapter at Northern Arizona University (NAU), a previous chapter executive officer, former Educational Leadership Consultant (ELC) and active volunteer. She currently serves as the International Governor for the Fraternity’s Kappa Eta Chapter at the University of Florida. Courtney was introduced to Alpha Phi early in life through her aunt who is an alumna from the Delta Mu Chapter at Purdue University. She attended Northern Arizona’s Red Dress Gala as a sophomore in high school, not knowing that a few years later she would be attending the same event as a collegiate member of that very same chapter. “During recruitment, my aunt encouraged me to keep an open mind and follow my heart, and from the moment I met the women of Alpha Phi, I felt an instant connection,” Courtney recalled. “They were so welcoming, and I immediately felt at home. What stood out to me most was our conversations about leadership opportunities. Before recruitment, I didn’t fully understand what being in a sorority meant, but Alpha Phi showed me just how much it could offer. Choosing Alpha Phi was the best decision I could have made, and it has truly changed my life.” Today, Courtney is an award-winning real estate agent in Tempe, Arizona, and she credits Alpha Phi with shaping her into the person she is now. “The leadership and sales skills I developed during my time in [Iota Pi] have been invaluable,” Courtney shared. “As a freshman, I jumped right in and took on an executive officer role, which pushed me out of my comfort zone in ways I never expected. I was determined to be a leader that my chapter could rely on, and the following year, I had the honor of serving as our first sophomore chapter president. Taking on such a major role at a young age allowed me to grow tremendously, both personally and professionally.” One of the most valuable skills Alpha Phi instilled in Courtney was the art of delegation. “I firmly believe that success comes from utilizing your team and recognizing that it takes a village to achieve big goals,”
