Pi Beta Phi - University of Georgia

MEMORIES ON MILLEDGE p. 2 PBF MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, PI BETA PHI SISTERS T here's nothing quite like the bond between mother and daughter, but when you also share the bond of sisterhood, it becomes truly special. Susan Nalls Rosenbleeth '75 recalls being fascinated by the Pi Beta Phi women after transferring from a small, private college. "After joining Pi Phi, I was so excited about the feeling of belonging and support from the chapter members and alumnae — and immediately became busy and involved on campus," Susan shared. It was several years later when Susan's daughter, Wynne Rosenbleeth '09, faced the same decision at UGA. ough there was some sway to join Pi Phi due to her mom's membership, in the end, she wanted Wynne to choose what was best for her. "I decided to join Pi Phi because it actually was the only sorority on campus that I felt totally comfortable with and had very real conversations with the women during recruitment," Wynne said. Susan's career in human resources consulting has been long but rewarding. "e work can be demanding of your time but is intellectually challenging and gives you a chance to interact with many different and interesting people," she explained. When she's not working, she spends most of her time with her family. Wynne works with a staffing agency called Brooksource, where she loves her work and gets to work with other Georgia Alphas. ough the pair has always been close, Pi Phi has allowed them to share another interest together. "We have been able to be more connected to each other's Pi Phi friends," Wynne shared. "I have really enjoyed getting to know my mom's friends and vice versa." It's been rewarding for them both to see each other in different roles and see each other thrive. Wynne also served as Chapter President while she was a collegian. Needless to say, they are both proud of each other! Pi Phi has enriched each of their lives, both personally and professionally. "e Pi Phi women in my life are exceptional people. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that is one of the main reasons I want to give back to Pi Phi and help it thrive going forward," Susan said. Both have made Pi Phi a priority in their lives, which has contributed to an alumnae experience perhaps greater than their days as collegians. ough Wynne keeps in touch with her sisters mainly through social media and outside of Pi Phi events, Susan values alumnae club meetings and events that bring them together. "I think that Pi Phi really helped shape me into the person that I am right now, and I am very thankful for that," Wynne expressed. "I also take a lot of comfort in the fact that Pi Phi is a supportive organization no matter where I am." Most of all, they love spending time together whenever they can, whether it's shopping trips or resort activities while on vacation. ey are preparing for Wynne's wedding this year, which has been a special time for them both. And this year will be their 10th year running the Peachtree Road Race together. ey've also run several 5Ks and two Disney half-marathons together. It's moments like these that will always be cherished. You can connect with Susan at susan.rosenbleeth@buck.com and Wynne at wrosenbleeth@brooksource.com. Y ou may remember singing the words, "Give our regards to Kappa, remember us to eta, too, tell all the girls at Chi Omega, that they won't be seeing you…" as you led "rushees" off the walk at 886. While the chapter today no longer sings this song, they do know that in the fall, recruitment is a competitive time on campus. All the houses put on their "best face" to show over 1,200 young women why their sorority is special. Round three of recruitment is a house tour — and Pi Phi's competition is getting tougher! If you haven't been to Athens in the past few years, you may not know that many houses have undergone major "facelifts." Here's an update on what other Greek houses are doing: Gamma Alpha Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta In 2013, this chapter had a major renovation to the house.
