Lambda Chi has been a Hallmark in John Santeiu's Life
If you take a glance back on John Santeiu’s college career, it becomes clear that he took the more non-traditional route to earn his degree. Originally coming to Michigan State to study Veterinary Medicine, which at the time was the only university in the state offering that major, John soon discovered that this was not the career path he wanted to pursue after all.
   
He attended MSU for freshman and sophomore years, but John soon came to the realization that not only did he not want to become a vet but that his desired profession was taking after his dad. “My father was a funeral director,” John said. “After two years, I thought ‘I always wanted to be a funeral director, what am I doing here?’”
   
John proceeded to enroll at Wayne State where he attained his associates degree in mortuary science. Even with his newly discovered career, John’s father insisted he return to Michigan State to complete his bachelors degree and graduate. Upon his return, the school had developed the humanities college which suited John’s interests much more and he became a comparative religion major.

Although each plan differed slightly depending on the house’s national affiliation, there were consistent steps taken across the board, Zajac said.
