H
ello, everyone! I am honored to be
serving as the 2014 president of Pi
Chapter and am a junior from Lincoln
majoring in nutrition science. I have loved
working with the executive team thus
far and am incredibly thankful for and
impressed by the leadership and dedication
each member has.
This semester has been a busy one for us at
Pi. It seems like we just started our semester
but are now focusing on wrapping up and
heading home for summer. We hosted our
annual French Toast Feed and raised nearly
$6,000 for our local Girls On the Run. Thank
you to all who came out to support us. We
look forward to seeing many of you this
November at our centennial celebration.
Our sisters achieved some great feats in
the past few months. Pi Chapter earned
the third top GPA on campus this past
fall with a 3.497. We are so proud of our
sisters for consistently living out our value
of learning. In addition, we had several
members selected to serve as members of
senior honors societies. Cassie McKay '12,
Liz ripa '11, and I all were tapped into
Mortar Board, and Jena Gangwish '12
and Melissa Bakewell '11 were inducted
into Omicron Delta Kappa. In addition,
Kaity Neuberger '11, Liz Ripa, elizabeth
Wiest '12, and I were all selected as
members of the Greek honors society,
Order of Omega. Hannah Schinkel '11
is the president of FOCUSGreek, Kaity
Neuberger '11 will serve as a vice president
for Dance Marathon, and Melissa Bakewell
and Lauren Greufe '12 are serving on the
Panhellenic executive team. If you didn't
quite believe how incredible our sisters are,
I am proud to announce that Pi Chapter has
regained the Scarlet Cup for the 2013-14
school year. The Scarlet Cup recognizes
one chapter on campus for their outstanding
academics, involvement, and leadership,
and I must say, the women of Pi Chapter
deserve this award!
Our fearless membership vice president,
Annie McKeighan '11, has begun planning
for formal recruitment this fall. We are very
excited to see all of her hard work put into
effect this August. If there are any young
women you would like to recommend for
membership, please send letters to Annie
at 415 N. 16th St., Lincoln, NE 68508. We
are continually reminded of how fortunate
we are to have active alumnae who model
what lifelong membership in Gamma Phi
Beta means. Please feel free to contact
me or visit the chapter house any time. We
are always happy to give tours of our home
and give updates on the happenings of Pi
Chapter.
In PKE,
