She is a member of the Young Democrats, president of the Voices for Planned Parenthood, a DJ at KZUU and a facilitator at the WSU challenge course on as well as an ASWSU Senator.

Stroup said, “I’ve always been pretty involved in activities outside of academics because I think there’s a lot more to learning and becoming a well-rounded person than just sitting in a classroom. Being involved in organizations on campus is so important for a couple of reasons. I think it’s important to give back to the community you live in, creating an investment within it and try to make it a better place than when you got here. There are so many leadership positions on this campus and there’s a lot of skills you can gain that will help you greatly in the future.”
