Since his initiation, Jessie has had the pleasure to hold several different positions within his Chapter including Keeper of Records, MTA Chairman, and currently Polemarch.

Additionally, Brother Townsend is a Kappa Fellow as he successfully graduated from the Under- graduate Leadership Institute (Theta Klass).
At Winthrop University, Jessie excels as an Exercise Science major and Coaching minor. As he enters his senior year of his undergraduate study, he plans to obtain acceptance into an Occupa- tional Therapy Doctoral Program to become an Occupational Therapist. His future plans also in- clude working on a Master’s degree in Coaching because he desires to coach collegiate basketball one day. His passion for sports and willingness to lead is what has led him to pursuing a career in coaching. He credits his strong determination as the reason why he is committed to achieving academically and fraternally. Jessie’s favorite quote comes from one of the most notable members in our fraternity’s history, Arthur Ashe, who once said “Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”
