Andrea Fuller Cooper - Andrea received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Education at Florida State University and Oregon College of Education. She taught public school music for 9 years, then piano and guitar for 26 years. While at Florida State, Andrea pledged Tri Delta. She has remained an active alumna member ever since graduation from college and served as an officer in four alumnae chapters including President of the Denver Tri Delta Alumnae chapter. She served on the Denver Area Panhellenic Council for 6 years and received the Panhellenic Woman of the Year Award. Andrea was a Collegiate District Officer for Tri Delta for 6 years, supervising 4 collegiate chapters. New Year’s Eve, 1995, Andrea and Mike’s daughter, an only child, Kristin Rebecca Cooper, committed suicide at the age of 20. Kristin was a member of Alpha Chi Omega at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. After Kristin’s death, Andrea learned that Kristin had been raped by a “friend” in August of 1995 while home for the summer. As so many women do, Kristin never told her parents. The rape was discovered through Kristin’s journal and verified by friends and sorority sisters. Upon her return to Baker, Kristin told her very serious boy friend about the rape. For reasons that will never be known, he broke up with her. That devastated Kristin and she went into a downward spiral of depression. In 1998, Andrea was given a grant by Tri Delta to travel to colleges across the United States and share “Kristin’s Story”. In 1999, Alpha Chi Omega also offered Andrea a grant. Andrea now speaks at 14 grant schools a year and an average of 20 paying schools. Andrea immersed herself in learning about sexual-assault, suicide, and depression. She has received a lot of her education by attending an annual Sexual Assault Prevention Conference in Florida, where she has also been asked to speak the last six years. However, Andrea admits she has learned much more from the stories collegians and alumnae have shared with her. Andrea has been invited to speak at many fraternity leadership schools, a medical school, and universities in Toronto and Sydney, Australia. To date, Andrea has spoken at approximately 300 universities and 25 conferences. Andrea is thrilled and honored to be serving on the Greeks Against Sexual Assault Advisory Board at UC Davis.
