Pi Phi Roll Call!

[carnation]

Y'all, I am so thrilled to see so many Pi Phis on GC! I've hoped for this for over a year and now there are so many!

Let's do a roll call like some of the other sororities are doing!

Chapter: Alabama Gamma

Status: alum

Current ofices: too busy with the 13 dwarfs now, was AAC for rush at Ala Gamma

Alum clubs in past or present?: Honolulu; Fayetteville, AR; Auburn

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? I loved the sisterhood and the symbols, and that fabulous pref party convinced me!

[PiPhiERDoc]

Carnation, I must just be following you around today!
This is a great idea, I would love to know who else is around...

I am an alum of Washington Gamma.

I belong to the Seattle and Tacoma Alum Clubs, and I have served on the Washington Gamma AAC for the past 5 years, currently as Chairman and counterpart to VP Social, Rush, and Secretary, although I have done membership and Moral in the past...basically whatever comes up!

As for why I went Pi Phi...from the very first rush party I attended I thought the Pi Phis were energetic, smart, and clearly had the closest sisterhood of any of the 6 sororities on our campus. I am still "Pi Phi or die" and I am so proud to be a alumnae of our chapter and our national fraternity!

[erniegurl00]

Yeah! I'm so excited to see so many new Pi Phi's on the board! Welcome!

Chapter: Indiana Gamma
Status: Active
Current Offices: Vice President of Social Advancement :) (BTW I love being the pledge educator!)
Why did you pledge Pi Phi? Because all of the girls seemed genuine, and I loved how they made me feel welcome whether it was before or during rush.

[nucutiepie]

Chapter: Illinois Epsilon (same as Amy Burnham Onken)
Status: Active
All Offices Held: Vice President New Member Council for NPC, IG chair for Fraternity Heritage, VP Recruitment
Why I went Pi Phi: The girls are all real - I feel like I can be myself around everyone - and I got chills down my back during the pref ceremony

[jharb]

Chapter: Indiana Gamma
Status: Pledge (Initiation begins on February 28th!)
Current Office: Our pledge class does this on the pledge retreat (next weekend!)
Why I chose Pi Phi: I knew a lot of girls coming into the house and loved each one. I also felt that the girls really wanted me for who I am, not because I filled some sort of quota.

[Silverblue]

Chapter: Tennessee Gamma

Status: Alumna since graduating in 1989

Offices: While active, I was our Arrow correspondent and also was editor of the fall rush handbook my senior year. I don't hold an office in my alum club now, but since I work at a newspaper, I can get items about meetings and philanthropy projects published. Really neat fact: Since our city is just about 50 miles away from Gatlinburg, Arrowmont and Pi Beta Phi Elementary School are mentioned in the paper several times a week.

Why I pledged Pi Phi: From the moment I walked into the Pi Phi suite (there are no sorority houses in Tennessee) during open house, I felt right at home. Then, when I cried during the preference ceremony -- we were allowed to go to two pref parties -- my decision was easy to make. When I was initiated and learned our ritual, I knew I'd been led there for a reason. The older you get, the more Pi Phi's ideals mean to you, and I try to live my life each day according to them.

[Angels&Arrows]

Chapter: Mississippi Alpha

Status: Almuna

Current offices: VP Membership/ACRIC Boston City Alumnae Club...

Past offices: Asst. Historian

Alum clubs in past or present?: I belong to the Boston area Pi Phi Alum group.

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? During recruitment... the diversity of the chapter showed in their activities, the sisterhood between the members shined through and I got the feeling that no matter what I pursued in college that their would be 100 girls supporting me. Little did I know that all those qualities would also be present after college. I LOVE PI PHI and all my sisters!!!!

ETA: My new position in the Boston City Alumnae Group!!!

[oupiphi]

Chapter: Ohio Alpha, Ohio University

Status: Alum

Current Offices: I am on AAC as Membership and Pan Hel advisor

Alum Clubs: Presently in Ann Arbor

Why did I pledge Pi Phi? I met a Pi Phi who was a terrific person (we are still great friends) and I decided that if she was what Pi Phis were like, I wanted to be one! Once I met the other women during rush, I knew I had found a wonderfully diverse group who, even though they were different, held similar beliefs. Being a Pi Phi has been one of the best experiences of my life.

A side note: I have two daughters. Both of them are also Ohio Alphas! Sharing Pi Phi in this way has been a true blessing.

[clothesgirl]

Chapter: alberta alpha, University Of Alberta

Status: active

Current office:Secretary

past offices: panhellenice delegate, VP mental advancement, historian(2) and arrow correspondant.

why I chose pi phi: Truth be told, I genereally don't like girls. I find them to be petty and unsupportive. I have 2 close girlfriends, all the rest of my friends are boys. Then I met the piphis. Here were a bunch of women that I truly liked and respected-not just one of them, but ALL of them. I had to join. So I did. It was the best decision I ever made. My sister goes to university in a year. She already wants to go piphi!:)

[pbpck]

California Kappa.

:cool:

[cherub]

Chapter: Ontario Gamma

Status: Alum

Office: AAC president and Panhel advisor

Past Offices: AAC advisor for VP Social and Panhel

Why Pi Phi? I wanted to be a part of a sisterhood again, since I came from an all-girls school. I loved the tradition behind the group and the benefits of membership after graduation. I'm so proud because my younger sister joined my chapter last year and just got elected to VP Social, one of the positions I held as an active!

[TrojanGirl]

Chapter: Arkansas Beta

Status: Pledge (Initiation in less than a month!)

Why Pi Phi? Honnestly? They were the only girls on campus who seemed sincere and diversified. I loved the feeling I got from them. Tonight was our member/pledge/alum retreat and it was AWESOME! I got my big sis tonight! It was so great to see how Pi Phi had affected so many different people!

TG

[sarahpiphi]

Chapter: California Eta (UC Irvine)

Pledge Class: Fall 2000!

Position: I just finished being Parliamentarian (not all chapters have this position though)

Why I pledged Pi Phi: My sister is a Pi Phi from UC Riverside which deifnitly swayed my decision, but also because I was able to have a "normal" conversation with all of the Pi Phis during rush. I was unsure of my decision when I first pledged, but now I realize that pledging Pi Phi was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I have loved my time in Pi Phi and I look forward to a life of friendship and sisterhood!

pi phi love,
sarah

[dubyuhnellpiphi]

i have got to say first...
I LOVE BEING A PI PHI!!!!

Chapter: Virginia Theta

Status: Active (i just initiated on saturday:D )

Past Office: pledge class president

Aspirations: rush chair, perhaps chapter president

Why Pi Phi? Cause it is the BEST EVER! I love every pi phi i have met... i most certainly can't say the same for the other soroities! our chapter is so diverse, but we all share the common bonds of pi phi... and i just LOVE that! everyone in my chapter is so genuinely nice and interested in what is happening in my life... my big sis is awesome... to my family should any of them read this OINK OINK BABY! gotta love sisterhood!

[Ji-ae]

Chapter: Alberta Alpha

Status: I'm and active Active

Past Office: Jr. Panhellenic Delegate (Jr. Panhell Recruitment), Social Chair

Current Office: Sr. Panhellenic Delegate (Sr. Panhell Recruitment), VP Mental

Why Pi Phi? Simply because my best friend pulled me in... but the bigger reason is why I stayed and became so active. Because they're my family and my support system for all aspects of my life.

p.s
valdes, I've finally checked it out. Now to get the rest of the chapter here.

[cindrela16]

Virginia Delta; Old Dominion University

Status: Active, First Semester as a Sister

Positions: Membership Selection Chair

Why I went Pi Beta Phi: I didn't want to rush, I didn't think it would be something that I would want to do. I changed my mind quickly and had so much fun pledging. I am very lucky to have such an incredible chapter. Nothing seems quite so bad when you have sisters!!!

[Lady Pi Phi]

Chapter: ON Gamma
University of Guelph

Status: Active, first semester as a sister

Positions: Rush Interest Group Chair (for next year)

Why I Pleged Pi Phi: I was looking to meet some new people and I have. I have found a greta bunch of girls and I hope to have long lasting friendships with them

[jewel555]

HEYYYYYYY


Indiana ZETA Pi phi in the house!!!

GO BALL STATE!!!

status: REAL ACTIVE in the pi phi scene

offices: 2nd semester pi phi, rush chair assistant..MUCH MORE TO COME!:eek:

[hillangel723]

West Virgina Alpha!!

Current status: very active!!

Current/past office: Rush chair 2002! and sisterhood chair in 2001

Why I joined Pi Phi? I am a KKG legacy, but loved Pi Phi more, I felt more at home here in our house, and the girls had the strongest sisterhood.

[UA Angel]

Chapter: Alberta Alpha

Status: As active as a member can be in the system

Past Office: VP Social (x2), VP Moral, Parliamentarian

Current Office: President

Why I joined Pi Phi: Weird story really. I ran into my elementary principal one day and we started talking. He started telling me about Pi Phi and how his daughter was a member. I went to their formal dessert during the second semester of school and really wasn't intending to join. But I decided to go to a few of their hockey games and I was hooked. Pi Phi suddenly began to feel just right. A place where I could call home away from home.

[LilPiPhiHoney]

I love Pi Phi!!!!

Chapter: Michigan Alpha, Hillsdale College

Status: Active

Past Offices: Junior Panhellenic Delegate 2001

Current Office: Rush Chairman 2002

I hope to find an alumni club wherever I am after I graduate!

Why Pi Phi? In all honesty it was because I felt so comfortable and at home with the Pi Phi's during Rush. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing! I love being a Pi Phi!!

[ROWDYsister]

*Chapter: Florida Delta

*Status: Active *Pledge Class: 2001

*Offices held: None yet, but I'm considering trying to get slated for Social Chair for 2003.

*Why did you pledge Pi Phi? From the first day of rush I was like, "Wow, these girls are down to earth, beautiful, fun and really seem to have a great bond." I was comfortable in the house the whole time but what closed the deal was the Prefs ceremony and the girl I chatted with for an hour (my future Big). And I loved the symbols and everything and the emphasis on being ladylike and classy.

[Halo79RN]

Mississippi Alpha!!!
Status: Alum
Why I joined?: My best friend was trying to convince me to Rush, so we went to USM's Greek Week recruitment day. We went through a mock rush where we visited each chapter and met with the girls. The one sorority girl whose name I remembered from the whole day was a Pi Phi named Mandy. Just being in the Pi Phi chapter room and speaking with the girls there made me feel like I was home. It convinced me to go through Rush. Later I found out that my mentor, Kathy, from home was a Pi Phi. She hadn't told me so that I wouldn't feel pressured. Now I have an even more special bond with her and so many other girls that I call my sisters. I recently made a huge move and am getting involved with the New York Delta AAC. Pi Phi's have been there for so many major events in my life. I can't imagine not being a Pi Phi. I'm so grateful for my best friend, Amanda (another Pi Phi), who insisted I rush!
Pi Phi Love,
Bridget

Chapter: Virginia Zeta

Status: Active

Former offices: VP Social, Assistant Membership Chair

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? The women I met during recruitment were simply superior - relaxed, intelligent, beautiful, fun and real.

[suzipiphi]

Chapter: New Mexico Beta (NMSU)

Pledge Class: Fall 2001

Position: Right now I am philanthropy chair and treasurers assistant. I am going to be tresurer next semester and am hoping to be president next year.

Why I pledged Pi Phi: I always knew I wanted to be in a sorority so I went through recruitment and on the first night I met my big sis crystal we bonded so much that I knew I wanted to be a pi phi and I just felt so lucky to recieve a bid from them. Now that I've been active for awhile I love pi phi so much and hold myself to pi phi ideals and values. I LOVE PI PHI!!!!!

PPL,
Suzi

Greetings Pi Phis--

I am an Ohio Epsilon Pi PHi (University of Toledo)
Status: Alum/ International Officer
Offices: as an active was VP Mental/ Secretary/Panhel
as an alum have served various offices in club and on AAC
I was CPP 5 years, Director of Collegiate Programming.
Director of Academics
Current office: Region 6 Collegiate Specialist- Risk management/ Policy

Alum Clubs: Toledo OH and now Richardson-Plano TX (IDEAL CLUB 2001)

Why did I pledge? To give me a 'home' on campus I guess would be the best way to put it. UT was a commuter campus at that time (it's more residential now). If you weren't Greek you really had no way to be involved on campus- it was like HS (only worse because of the size of the campus). Of course, having my sister in the chapter made it extra-special.

I'm happy to see so many Pi Phis sharing ideas!

PPL,
Karen

[breathesgelatin]

Chapter: Virginia Theta (Washington and Lee University)
Status: Active, Pledge class 2002 (graduating 2005)

Why Pi Phi: Because I met so many amazing Pi Phis during the fall (we have deferred rush) and I felt they were the smartest, least flighty, and with the strongest sisterhood!

[pib8aphiangel]

Hi all Im a new member to GC. Yeah!. I am sooo excited to see so many Pi Phi's here. Ok for the roll call.

I am a Virginia Delta at Old Dominion University.

I pledged in fall of 2001.

As of right now I am not an active sister because of the fact that I just found out I may have ovarian cancer. I have been in and out of the hospital for about a year and a half now. :(
I plan on coming back this coming semester because I have realized how much I need my sisters.

I was Risk Management Educator two semesters ago.

And Why did I pledge Pi Phi? Well first off, my mother is a Pi Phi so the whole legacy thing made it very special to me. But I have also learned that you cannot find someone mroe caring and helpful then a Pi Phi. My sisters have always been there for me since I have had my problems and I love each and every one of them. I had the choice of more then one sorority and when Bid Day came I knew where my heart belonged. Just like my mother, I am a Pi Phi for life and You all are my family.
:) :) .


And to all my sisters all over the USA and Canada..... TTF!

[carnation]

Welcome to GC! I hope that your tests turn out negative--

[Lady Pi Phi]

Pi Phi Love and Mine

[UCFgirl84]

Chapter: Florida Epsilon

Status: Active as can be: PC'02

Why Pi Phi: In all honesty, the Pi Phi's that I met during recruitment were the only girls who seemed sincere and devoted to improving their chapter. It is diversified but the closest thing to a family without the biological attachment. These girls make me so proud of my letters and what they stand for. I know my sisters will be there for me through my strongest and weakest points, to laugh or to cry, to celebrate or to mourn; and that is what makes Pi Beta Phi the most beautiful thing that I have ever experienced.

Pi Phi Love and ALL of Mine,
Lauren

Why Pi Phi? It just seemed right. Now I can't imagine anything different. The people are wonderful, and I am and will continue to be proud to be an arrow girl. :)


Also, I would like to send a shoutout to my twin, Nasus333! I posted in this thread because of you, and I will be very very sad when you are gone next year. :(

[piphiangelz]

Hello Angels

I am a Illinois Alpha
I am a active member
Pledge Fall 2000
I am currently Recruitment Chair and also have held, IG head, co rush and co historian.

I joined Pi Phi because this is the place that I felt at home. The girls treated me like I was already a member before I received my bid. It is also so special because I am where it all began and being at Holt House if the walls could talk I wonder what all the secrets they would tell. I am so Proud to be a Pi Phi and so happy to call all of you my sisters.

[vtpiphi]

Hey Pi Phi's.....

Virginia Zeta here! Just wanted to say hello.

I am a sophomore so this is my first true semester as a sister! I LOVE it so far! There is nothing like being a Pi Phi in this world! Especially at VT!:cool:

CHAPTER: Texas Epsilon (University of North Texas)
STATUS: Active
OFFICES: Philanthropy Chair/ Assistant VP Moral
WHY PI PHI? A very emotional pref night, where i was preffed by a senior girl who expressed her love so genuine....that, and i felt comfy in the pi phi chapter room from the first day i walked in(it was my first party)

[pink and green]

CHAPTER: Virginia Eta (University of Richmond)
STATUS: Pledge
OFFICES: ---
WHY PI PHI? Because I got chills on Sisterhood Night. Because I had tears on Pref Night. Because every night I came back to Pi Phi every girl I'd already met came back over to tell me how glad they were to have me back. I felt the most comfortable at Pi Phi, and it was only there where I felt that I could just talk to the girls as if they were my friends, rather than an intimidating group I was trying to impress :)

[PiBP17]

I'm new to the GC..... and I think it's so awesome that there are so many Pi Phi's!!
Here's my info!

Chapter: NY Alpha (Syracuse University)
Status: Active, sophomore
Positions: I interviewed to be Assistant VP Social Advancement yesterday afternoon, and I find out tonight! I'm so nervous!
Why I joined Pi Phi: The sisters I interacted with all three rounds really stood out in my mind, and pref round really sealed the deal! Two of my best friends pledged the same time I did also for Pi Phi, and it has been fantastic!

I would love to hear from any of you Pi Phi's, about anything really!

PPL and mine! :D

Hi, Everyone!

Since I'm new, thought I'd add my hiya to the roll call. :)

Chapter: Michigan Beta

Status: Alum

Current Offices: just started law school, haven't gotten a chance to work AAC into the picture yet... but, if anyone here is an Indiana Beta, please let me know, I'd love to come see the house!

Past Offices: House Manager, Historian, IG Chair... :)

Alum Clubs: None at the moment... I'd love to join one in Bloomington! Missing all of my lovely Pi Phi Angels in Ann Arbor!

Why I joined Pi Phi: My big sis. :) I went through rush not knowing a soul and had my heart set on a house right after mixers. It took a couple sets for Pi Phi to really stand out, but it only took one sister's genuineness to convince me it was the place to be. And though not every aspect of sorority life was perfect (that would've been impossible, of course), I wouldn't have changed a thing. One of the most incredible benefits of being a sister is having the Pi Phi connection wherever you go; that instant connection with someone because of the sisterhood you share.

Why I joined Pi Phi: I am pledging as a soph -- I realized I regretted having not rushed last year, and Wash U only has spring rush for sororities --- except Chi O who colonized on campus this fall and was taking upperclass to have a fall pledge class. I wanted to make some really close girlfriends, and at rush, pi phi had the most spirit while still seeming real, and the outsides skit was awesome!!! (it was based on Clue) I love the girls in my pledge class and I'm hoping to form lasting friendships with them like it looks like the rest of you have!

IN Gamma did Clue for our skit this year too! :D Good choice! lol!

I really felt comfortable in the house and everyone was very down to earth. And now that I am a Pi Phi, I have realized that I definitely made the right choice. I'm so glad that things worked out the way that they did. :-)

[ERINVTPIPHI]

Hello Angels! I have been hearing tons about Greek Chat and I finally discovered the magic of it. I am rising senior member of Virginia Zeta at Virgina Tech. I pledged in Spring 2002. I am currently VP Mental for my chapter and last year I served as Community Service Chairman. I simply LOVE Pi Phi and don't know what I am going to do in May when its time for me to graduate being that I have lived in the Pi Phi House for THREE years! I don't really have a reason I joined a Pi Phi. I decided to rush because all the girls on my freshman hall were. But I that it was the best decision I have probably made in my 3 years at Tech. But hey "something unpredictable, but in the end was right."

[piphikat2163]

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? I was drawn to the energy and enthusiasm of the girls in the house; after pledging I found it to be my home away home, it's so comfortable and welcoming.

[tndeltapiphi]

-I am an active TN Delta (Memphis)
-I am a twenty year old junior and I am VP Administration!
-We have a wonderful chapter and I chose Pi Phi because when we went to Memphis's camp for freshmen, the Greek counselors were not allowed to tell us which chapter they belonged to, so I just didn't think about it. Then when we got to recruitment each of the girls I had talked to at camp and liked were in Pi Phi and I just felt at home with Pi Phi during recruitment!

[marys]

ladies:
I am posting this for one of your new sisters, she is acutally my true little sister. She has just been asked to join Pi Phi in Lincoln Nebraska. I just wanted to tell her and everybody how happy I am for her. I know you girls will take good care of her and not let her get into any trouble. Pretty much I know nothing of her chapter except that she is excited, nervous and can't wait for everything to begin. So if you are ever in Lincoln Nebraska her name is Elisabeth and tell her that her big sis said way to go.

:)

For any Chicago area alumni~

I just moved to Chicago this summer to start school at the Art Institute. I have joined The Windy City alumnae club, but I was wondering if anyone on here is in Chicago too.

I'd love to meet some new sisters if possible!

Great! Which chapter?

[c.piphi.toronto]

Chapter: Ontario Alpha (University of Toronto)
Status: Active
Past Office: Junior Panhellenic Delegate
Current Office: Vice President of Administration
Why Pi Phi?: Of all the sororities at the University of Toronto, Pi Phi was the friendliest. Our chapter is also very multi-cultural (the most multi-cultural chapter according to The Arrow!), so everyone feels really comfortable regardless of ethnicity.

[arrowangel]

Hey hey!

Hi Girls!

Chapter: Wisconsin Delta (Marquette University)
Initiated: November 18, 2006
Status: Active
Positions held: LNC, Policies & Standards Board
Why I chose Pi Phi: I chose Pi Phi because I transferred to MU not knowing anyone, and the Pi Phis welcomed me and befriended me no questions asked.

I'm so glad so many girls are starting to network. You guys should really check out SororityLive.com. Its basically Facebook for people with Greek affiliations and there are TONS of Pi Phis on it already.

PPL & M,
Liz

[barbino]

Another KY Beta!
I'm an older alumn. Sorry, guys. I did not know that protocol was to introduce myself first here. I'm still trying to get used to the format/layout of GC - this is the first time I found this forum, tho I've been posting for a few months now.

Why Pi Phi? When I think back on it, it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made, and one that I am constantly proud of. :)

Hey, everyone!! It looks like this board isn't active anymore, but maybe a few people still pop their heads in now and then!

Chapter: Arizona Gamma (Northern Arizona University)

Status: Active Member (initiated in March 2008!!)

Current Office: Webmaster

Why did I pledge Pi Phi? I never thought I'd be a Greek, and never ever thought to rush. Spring Recruitment, I was sent an e-mail from the VP Membership and my mom actually told me to go to Welcome Night just to go meet some people and get out of my room. I'm an athlete, so wasn't that thrilled, but I was so happy after that night that I went back for the next night, then the next (never realizing I was "rushing"). I couldn't make Pref Night (the one regret I have!) due to a track meet, but I was offered a bid nonetheless. It never actually hit me that I had pledged until I was initiated. No regrets at all. I love it so much and I love meeting new sisters! It makes me so excited!

[carnation]

Congratulations on your initiation and welcome!

[AZPPL]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

Status: Active (pledged Fall '06)

Current office: ----

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? Honestly, I had put Pi Phi last on my bid list because I didn't feel like I connected with the girls. But, I gave the chapter a try, and here, almost 2 years later, I cannot believe I ever considered anywhere else.

[Lindsey11387]

Chapter: TN Gamma

Status: Active (pledged Spring '07)

Why did you pledge Pi Phi? I pledged Pi Phi because I felt at home walking into the suite (we do not have houses yet at UT). I knew once I started talking to girls that Pi Phi was where I belonged!
