community and collegiate involvement within
our sisterhood, including many members who
are participating in undergraduate research,
serving in the local community, applying to
further their education in graduate schools,
and, overall, continuing to lead our chapter
with dignity.
Throughout this spring semester, we look
forward to initiating our spring continuous
open bidding members, hosting our annual
Moonball philanthropy for Girls on the Run,
participating in a campus-wide service project,
and attending a variety of chapter events.
From all the members at Pi Chapter, thank you
for the love and support you continuously
provide. We are immensely grateful to have
active alumnae who model what lifelong
membership in Gamma Phi Beta means.
In IIKE,
