I am Hallie Horner '21 from Waterloo, Nebraska, and I have the extraordinary privilege this year of serving as Pi Chapter's president. Before I give you an update on our beloved chapter, I will take a moment to introduce myself. I am a show choir kid, I love making my oat milk latte in the morning, and I have a wonderful family, which includes four other Pi Chapter alumnae! I cannot help but be so appreciative of all the alumnae who have paved the way for me and the many others who call Gamma Phi Beta our home. Thank you for your loyalty and love for this chapter! HOUSE AND HEARTS FULL • Fall 2023 began with the addition of 47 wonderful new members through primary recruitment. • In September, we co-hosted the annual Scoops for Schools fundraiser with FarmHouse fraternity and donated $4,367 to Girls on the Run! • In October, we also hosted our Fall Phistival with Pi Beta Phi. • On November 5, our chapter headed to Lincoln AirPark to volunteer and support another Girls on the Run 5K race. We appreciate any opportunity we have to support strong girls and show ourselves to be strong women!
