3. Guess Who? Hi y’all! My name is Brenna Ellison, and I am currently serving as the National Delta Tau Alpha Parliamentarian. I was born and raised in a small town in the Texas Panhandle. Starting out, I wasn’t much of a “country girl,” but by high school, I grew into it. During high school, I was very active in FFA, specifically livestock judging and showing pigs, as well as National Honor Society and Student Council. After graduation in 2004, I decided to pursue a degree in Agribusiness from Abilene Christian University. Since then, I have added a minor in Public Service. ACU has been a wonderful place for me to grow in all areas of my life. I’ve met and befriended many wonderful people and have had many experiences that I will never forget. At ACU, I have stayed busy trying to balance school, work, and extracurricular activities. I’ve held many offices in our local Alpha Epsilon Sigma Club, as well as state and national offices in the Texas Collegiate Agriculture Student Alliance (TxCASA), Texas Collegiate FFA, and of course, Delta Tau Alpha. Aside from school, I like to spend my time shopping, working out, and dancing. I love concerts! I also love spending time with my family, especially my younger brother, Nathan.
