PI PHI WELCOMES NEW ANGELS
W
e are already in the middle of our fall semester at USC, and
activities at Pi Beta Phi are in full swing!
Over the summer the California Gamma Pi Phi recruitment team
was hard at work planning for our New Members. Vice President
of Membership Autumn Webb '16 led her team to a very
successful recruitment of 37 lovely new angels. Our new members
are full of enthusiasm, and we were so thrilled to see them running
to our home on Bid Day. New Member Coordinators Maggie
DiFederico '15 and Alexa Weidenfeld '15 have led the women
with all of their loyal support. They planned a retreat in Laguna
Beach to learn more about Pi Phi values and bond with their new
sisters. We had our Big Sister reveal on October 4, and the new
members were initiated on October 22.
We have continued to excel academically by achieving a GPA
well above the student average and the Greek average. We have a
cumulative GPA of 3.4 for spring 2018. Vice President of Member
Development Alexa Bauman '16 has encouraged our members
to push themselves academically with incentives, scholarship
opportunities, and career development workshops. We won the
Academic Innovation Award at the 2018 Trojan Greek Awards for
our excellence in academic encouragement.
Pi Beta Phi hosted our Arrowspike volleyball competition on
October 20, supporting the Pi Beta Phi Foundation. Our
chapter is excited to share that we co-hosted the event with
Sigma Chi fraternity. Charlotte Busch '16, our Vice President
of Philanthropy, planned our event with a fundraising goal of
$10,000. We collected donations from the USC community and
sold T-shirts to benefit the foundation.
USC Homecoming weekend is on November 9-11, and we look
forward to welcoming all of our alumnae home for the weekend.
USC Pi Phi has had a fabulous year so far, and we are already off to
a great start for the next school year. We are well into our executive
board term with officer elections coming up in November. I am
so proud of the work that Pi Phi has done over the past semester,
and I am looking forward to a memorable final semester as
Chapter President!
Pi Phi Love,
Gaby Glover '15
Chapter President
