Gregory and Alex Patnod or collectively “The Patnod Twins” are two of the youngest members of the Scots’ Charitable Society. They became involved in 2015 through their Grandfather Ken MacDonald, who has a proud Scottish heritage, tracing his ancestors back to 17^th century Scotland. From a young age Greg and Alex participated in cultural events. They were extremely grateful when they earned scholarships from the Society while pursuing their undergraduate business degrees and felt a strong desire to be more involved.

The Patnod Twins help lead new initiatives for the Society to aid its adaptation in a fast-changing world. They enjoy attending the quarterly business meetings and connecting with the leaders of the Organization with whom they grown close with. Over the last several years, they have provided hands-on volunteering for various SCS events including: the annual Kirkin’ O’ the Tartan, St. Andrew’s Gala and have spoken to undergraduates and their families at several scholarship ceremonies as they are strong advocates for engaging their generation to get involved with the Society and carry on its legacy.

On a personal level, the Twins spend much of their free time being active: hiking, skiing, traveling and boating on the Atlantic (depending on the season!). They also cherish spending time with their family and close friends.
