Diggs served on SGA for two years as a freshmen senator and as the College of Humanities and Social Sciences senator. She has served on the Issues and Awareness Committee for SAB, as vice president of the Student Leadership Board, vice president of Circle of Trust, and the Multi-Cultural Enrichment director for SAB. She is also a four-year member of both the Pre-Law Club and the Honors College Association. She is currently president of the SAB, a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and NPHA judicial chair and parliamentarian.
Both Diggs and Everett have served as global student leaders in Europe and are a part of the Student Union Advisory Council this year.
"I think Adrian and I have both served in different capacities at ASU and that has really given us a better advantage to represent ASU and the community," Diggs said.
Everett said hearing his orientation leaders tell him to get involved before he started at ASU helped to push him to be involved with so many things.
"In high school, I was really involved," he said. "I came to ASU alone and not knowing anyone and to enjoy my college experience, I had to get involved. I started with Brother to Brother and that just led into other things."
Diggs said she wanted to make a connection with ASU as soon as she got here so she started trying to get involved.
"I was very involved in high school, but coming to ASU, I didn't know very many people," she said. "I wanted to connect with ASU and have a sense of home and felt the best way to do that was to just jump right in."
She also stressed how important it was to be involved at ASU during your time here.
"I personally feel the best way for a student to feel connected to ASU is to make connections with people at ASU, whether it be students or administrators," she said. "Just establish relationships with people and build on that."

Just so your Herald staff knows, they are not the second black Homecoming King and Queen. Tiffany Frazier was Homecoming King in 2006 and Evette Allen was homecoming Queen in 2007. (Continued…)
