Meet Irelyn Coker

Irelyn is the Associate Student Representative for the Southwestern Region of Sigma Tau Delta. She is president of the Sigma Tau Delta chapter, Epsilon Theta, at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, AR. A few fun facts about Irelyn are that she plays piano and the drums in her free time. She also enjoys going on ministry trips with Iron Sharpens Iron Ministries on the SAU campus where she is the Vice President. Irelyn is excited to serve Sigma Tau Delta this year as the Associate Student Representative of the Southwestern Region!
