Shannon McCarthy & Lauren Plumb

How did you find out about UnderShare?
We found out about UnderShare through a Delta Zeta e-mail this summer.


What made you interested in the organization?

The event [Oh Sexy Girlfriend…Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction] sounded like it would be something fun to participate in and UnderShare seemed like a great cause.

What has been your best/most positive volunteer experience with UnderShare?

Our best volunteer experience with UnderShare thus far has been meeting all the wonderful people in the organization and being able to work more with each other!



What role do you have in the organization?

So far we are happy volunteers assisting with event planning! 

What other charitable groups are you involved with?


In addition to Delta Zeta sorority, we are both highly involved on campus with activities such
as Feed the Hungry where we bring packed lunches to a shelter in Santa Monica, De Colores where we take weekend trips to Tijuana, Mexico to build houses and other various campus ministry activities.

How long have you been involved with UnderShare?

We are new!


What advice would you give someone who wants to start volunteering?
Wear underwear…ha-ha, and just do it, its fun!


Are you currently employed? If so what is your position?


We are both students at Loyola Marymount University

Lauren is majoring in communications. She works as a lifeguard at LMU and has an internship at an advertising and marketing agency.

Shannon is majoring in theology. She coaches summer camp at LMU and works in the athletics department.

 

What are some of your hobbies or interests?

We are both from NEW YORK and we both love DELTA ZETA!


Anything you want to add?

Lauren loves sports, her favorite is lacrosse, and she loves to travel and learn new languages. Shannon loves being around her friends and having random fun and loves trips to Disneyland and being in So Cal!
