During that time, she gained valuable leadership experience by serving as Recruitment Chairman and Chapter President. "I believe that by being on the Executive Council, I was able to learn to work with many individuals and found that leadership was an intrinsic quality that I loved," she said. "Organization and committee work has proved to be a large part of all of my post-collegian experiences." Lisa fondly remembers the Pi Beta Phi sisterhood tradition and heritage, which ultimately motivated her to stay connected to Pi Phi after she graduated in 1991. Following graduation with a degree in business administration from the University of Colorado Boulder, Lisa became involved with the Colorado Alpha Alumnae Advisory Committee and helped with recruitment. "I always enjoyed recruitment as a collegian and found that I could really help the chapter in this role," she stated. "Colorado Alpha is a very special house, and it's extremely important to me to have it continue to be a safe, comfortable and loving place for the young women of Pi Phi." Lisa shared that she lived in the chapter house for three years and still considers it home, which is another reason why she has stayed connected with Pi Phi at the University of Colorado. "I want Colorado Alpha to continue to respect and love the house as much as I have all these years," she stated. "Working on the Chapter House Corporation board has been wonderful. To reconnect toward a common goal is amazing, and the women on the board are so incredible and energetic." Lisa also remarked that making relevant changes while maintaining the character of the house will always be a challenge, but the active members are so appreciative. "Sustaining, protecting and upgrading the chapter house is of the utmost importance," she said. This December, Lisa will celebrate 23 years of marriage with her husband, Chip, whom she met at CU Boulder and whom she was pinned by at the Colorado Alpha Chapter house. They live in Louisville, CO, and have two children: JC (19), who is a sophomore and in a fraternity at CU Boulder, and Allie (17), who is a senior in high school. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys road cycling, skiing, walking their Labrador named Mojo, gardening and going to CU Buffalo football games. She can be reached at corboys@yahoo.com if you would like to reconnect. 2016 Chapter oFFiCerS Visit Us on the Web Alumnae Facebook Colorado Alpha of Pi Beta Phi House Association Chapter Facebook Pi Beta Phi University of Colorado pibetaphi.org/colorado @PiPhiBoulder @PiPhiBoulder piphiboulder.tumblr.com
