PSI SOONERS 2 O n-campus involvement, sisterhood events, date parties: oh my! The Psi women had a great spring semester and finished strong. They hosted a semi-formal in February at the Sam Noble Museum and thoroughly enjoyed the karaoke. They even had Celsius-sponsor REAL Wellness Week, which had events including a cycle class and a Barre class in the study lounge. Thank you, Nora Beth Neville '23, for planning such an awesome week of self-care! In early March, Psi Chapter rolled out for the University of Oklahoma's Dance Marathon; several members served on OUDM's exec. Maya Williams '22, Samantha Cordo '21, and Jaiden Wright '21 served as vice chairmen and represented Psi well during their year of service. Others serving included: Averi Crouch '22, Addison Rosiere '22, Alex Kainer '22, Amelia Farrow '22, Chloe Burgar '22, Emma Waresback '22, Grace Goodwin '22, Gracey Durnal, Hailey Ferlicka '22, Kamy Johnston '23, Karsyn Scruggs, Kennedy Lee '23, Lauren Jobe '22, Lauren Pezel '22, Mackenzie Amick '22, Maegan Wendt '20, Paige Hudson '23, Danée Elrod '22, Grace Givens '23, Kyla Archer '22, Vy Dinh '22, and Molly McCutchan '23. Our women also participated in Greek Preview weekend and hosted potential new members for house tours, which were followed by an alumnae open house. Chapter members gave tours and alumnae were treated to charcuterie cups. We hope you'll join us at our next alumnae event.

The event happens once every four years, meaning each member will get to attend one Carnation Ball as an active member of Gamma Phi Beta. Our most recent one was on November 17, 2023, at the Hall of Mirrors in OKC. The sisters had a blast!
