His past accomplishments in the fraternity have included serving as his chapters Chairman for their bi-annual Alpha Affair, which has raised over $40,000 for scholarship and philanthropy in the Queens, NY community over the past 7 years; and he has earned numerous awards and recognition's from his home chapter, other local chapters and sororities. He has risen through the ranks locally having served as the Area Director for all New York City chapters from 2012-2015.

While in high school, Malik experienced his first opportunity of international living, having spent the summer of 1994 studying Spanish and experiencing the culture and country of Costa Rica. He graduated in 1995, and later that fall, enrolled in the School of Architecture at The Syracuse University. While pursuing his degree, Malik spent the spring 1999 semester abroad and studied architecture based in Florence, Italy and had the opportunity to study in numerous cities throughout the country including Rome, Venice, Milan and Naples. While in Europe, he also spent time traveling in Barcelona, Paris, London and Switzerland.
While studying architecture, Malik interned during the summer months at The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which led to full-time employment upon graduation in 2000.

While remaining as busy as he is, Malik has been married to his wife, Shannon for 14-years; and is the proud and devoted father of their beautiful six-year-old daughter, Malerie.
