In May, we celebrated the graduation of 45 incredible seniors who left an indelible mark on our chapter. Fall Fun Football season is in full swing, and we are gearing up for a year filled with both social and academic achievements. We enjoyed a fantastic sisterhood event on September 15, at a Los Angeles Angels baseball game! It was a fabulous day of fun and camaraderie as we cheered on the team and enjoyed each other's company. Our philanthropy event, Arrowspike, is set to take place on November 1. This event is a vital part of our efforts to support Pi Beta Phi Foundation and its mission to promote literacy and community support. New executive board elections are also scheduled for November, and we are looking forward to selecting a dynamic team to lead us into the future.
