Mike Maves is one of the oldest active brothers in the house, hailing from Beta Class which joined the fraternity in Fall of 2005. Once a simple, naive freshman, Mike has evolved into a mature, passionate, and well-spoken individual.

Background

Mike was born in raised in Portland, Oregon and attended Beaverton High School, where graduated with an International Baccalaureate degree and a weighted 4.26 GPA. He was involved in a number of activities, which included chairing a state Model UN committee, running a Mock Presidential Convention, and captaining his school's debate team. He also was co-captain of his school's golf team, which nearly made it to the state tournament his senior year. While not the most socially apt person in the halls, he did enjoy his time there and became extremely excited to attend the University of Washington upon graduation.

Leadership

Mike has held many different offices and positions in the house. Most notably are the following positions:

Mike, along with Joe Sanders and Michael Curtis, were the Recruitment team that saw the first big expansion of the house since the founding group of Alpha's were formed back in 2003-2004.

Mike was elected Vice-President for the 2008 term. So far his duties have consisted of organizing West Coast Road Trip, which takes place from March 26th through March 30th, and creating an outline for a Brother of the Year program.
