Pi Beta Phi

T
he California Gamma Chapter of Pi Beta
Phi is back at USC for the new school
year, and it's been a great start. Our
members are all settled in around campus and taking
on a diverse set of classes and internships.
We kicked off the fall with a spectacular recruitment.
We welcomed 75 new members and we could not be
more excited to have them. They have been settling
into their new home and experiencing all the new
member program has to offer, including Pink Angel
Week, when our new members found out the identities
of their big sisters!
We have already had our first invite of the year, Luau,
as well as multiple game days and sisterhood events
to get to know our new members. In September, we
hosted our annual Parent Preview day where family
and friends could come see how we ran recruitment
and tour our beautiful home. It was so nice to give
our friends a glimpse into one of our favorite times
of the year.
We also held our annual fall philanthropy, Arrowspike,
a row-wide sand volleyball tournament where
fraternities compete against each other for a great
cause. This year all proceeds were split between the
Scott Carter Foundation for cancer research and the
World Is Just A Book Away program promoting
literacy and building libraries in underprivileged
countries around the world. We are so happy to start
a partnership with this USC-based program and can't
wait to see what the collaboration has in store.
Other exciting events this semester are scholarship
dinner, where girls bring their professors to dinner in
order to celebrate their academic accomplishments,
Parents Weekend, Inspo week, Initiation and our last
invite of the fall, Inspo, where we recognize our new
member class.
With all of the exiting events planned, and the holidays
just around the corner, we are all looking forward to
the remainder of the fall semester and excited to carry
on the Pi Phi legacy.
