The Council is the governing body of the clubs and tribes of Mississippi Christian University. Made up of members from MC's five women's tribes and five men's clubs, the Council oversees Recruitment, social organization policies, the club and tribe judicial process, and campus wide club and tribe events such as Follies and Derby Week.
2026-2027 Council Officers
Kylee Whatley- Council President
Major: Political Science
Hometown: New Orleans, LA
"I recall my freshman year eager and excited to go through recruitment. Coming to a Christian school and knowing that they had something unique called clubs and tribes was enticing to me. I remember each part of recruitment feeling intentional and like each party truly had a purpose. Recruitment is a time where clubs and tribes truly get to show new students who they are, and the Council gets to be a small part of that. Furthermore, clubs and tribes provide MC students with lifelong friends that encourage them, pray for them, and truly care for them. Ultimately, I joined the council with the purpose of walking alongside just some of the organizations that make MC so unique."
Brayden Parker - Council President
Major: Psychology
Hometown: Pontotoc, MS
"Coming into college, I had no idea what to expect. I knew only a handful of people, and I felt like I was being thrown into this new environment with no sense of direction. I remember being asked early on, maybe during Welcome Week or later, if I planned on doing recruitment, and I’m so thankful I made that decision every single day. Recruitment for me was nothing short of magical. Every event, every talk, every connection was a stepping stone of confirmation that Mississippi Christian University was not just a place where I go to school and hang out with friends, but this was home. The opportunity to be a behind-the-scenes part of someone else’s journey to make this place home makes my heart overflow with joy. Although recruitment is not the only responsibility of Council President, it is one of the main things that excites me about stewarding this role. I want to serve my fellow students and pour out the love that Mississippi Christian University has poured into me."
Addison Vickers - Council Vice President
Major: Marketing
Hometown: Columbus, MS
"I decided to apply for the Council Vice President position because Mississippi Christian University has had such a meaningful impact on my life, and I wanted the opportunity to give back by serving the student body in a greater capacity. As Vice President, I strive to lead in a way that reflects MC’s Christ-centered mission and its core values of integrity, service, respect, and excellence.
Through my officer roles, my work as a Social Media Intern in the Office of Student Engagement, and my internship in my church’s children’s ministry, I have developed strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills that I bring to this position. My goal is to support the Council, encourage collaboration, and help create meaningful experiences that strengthen our campus community.
Serving as Vice President allows me to invest in the students and the place that has invested so much in me, and I am committed to helping make Mississippi College a welcoming, Christ-centered community for everyone."
Price Hester- Council Vice President
Major: Business Administration
Hometown: Meridian, MS
"I applied for the Council Vice President position because I’m passionate about helping students find their place on campus and creating a positive experience as they get involved in student life. Recruitment and the process play a major role in shaping a student’s experience at MC, and choosing an organization is an important decision. I believe that process should be welcoming, organized, and centered on helping students make the best choice for themselves."
