ENTRE NOUS 2 Executive Council Jasmijn Teunissen '23 "I chose Pi Phi because from day one, the girls were sincere, hilarious, and made me feel at home. ey inspire me, and I feel so supported by everyone!" Why They Joined Gia Parr '23 "Going through recruitment can be an overwhelming process, as you see so many houses over two weeks. I never thought I would have that 'at home' feeling, but then I walked through the doors of Pi Phi. Talking with girls such as Tessa Taylor '20 and Sasha Corcuera '22, I knew Pi Phi was not only an accepting place, but also one that is full of genuine friendships. I am so happy to be in a place with girls I can not only call friends, but also role models. So happy to have love and support from all the Angels!" Sim Beken '23 "From the moment I stepped into Pi Phi, the energy of the chapter appealed to me. All of the girls seemed genuine, fun, and friendly. As an international student, one of the most important things I was looking for during recruitment was to become friends with a diverse group of girls from all over the world, and Pi Phi has given me just that. I am so excited to create more memories with these amazing people that I have met." Our Executive Council at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, during Pi Beta Phi's College Weekend.
