Wishing You the Best in Your Endeavors WHY WE LOVE GPHI Two Seniors Share Their Favorite Memories Our Graduating Seniors E ach spring semester, Psi Chapter advisory board nominates and selects one outgoing senior Gamma Phi Beta woman in the chapter who embodies the sorority's values both in and out of the chapter. This year, Jill Olson '20 was selected to receive this award. Her nominator said: "Jill has been so constant as a GOTR coach. She loves the girls and is a quiet encourager. You find her just running beside them and having a down-to-earth conversation. She is consistent and loyal. Love working with her as co-coaches with GOTR." As part of her award, the board sponsor's Jill's Life Loyal Dues, meaning she will never have to pay alumnae dues in her life! Thank you, Jill, for all of your work with GOTR and for representing our chapter so well! Good luck in your endeavors post-graduation! "One of my favorite parts was living in the GPhi house in the six-girl room. I will always cherish our movie nights, late-night treats in the snack kitchen, and coming home to such a kind and welcoming house. I didn't know most of my roommates going into move-in day, but by the end, I had made some of my best friends and didn't want our year-long sleepover to end!" –Jill Olson '20 "Being a member of GPhi was a very formative part of my undergrad. It was through the GPhi BEDI committee that I learned about Panhellenic exec, and I applied on a whim. Without the support of my sisters, I never would've been confident enough to run for Panhellenic president, and I'm so grateful that I did! I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've been offered during my time in OU Gamma Phi. I truly would not be who I am today without my amazing friends and memories I've made in GPhi." –Emma Grace Lary '20 Shining Star Award
