Blog-ception

MD Gamma not only has it's own chapter blog, but also a few members who write their own blogs! From perfumes to Scottish adventures, these angels are busy typing away. Check out some of the things our girls write about!

Christina W. (our previous VP Communications and creator of this blog) has "Bad Communication", a blog about television, culture, and her favorite things.

Arielle W.  runs a perfume blog, The Scents of Self.

Two of our sisters abroad have blogs.
Pearl A. write about her journeys in Scotland at http://pearlinthelandofthescots.wordpress.com/ and Natasha P. writes about Italy at http://natalia-initalia.tumblr.com/ .

And last but certainly not least, we have our very own anonymous blogger! A member of MD Gammas is creating an online memory book to share with her future little. She writes about Pi Phi's values, sorority stereotypes and shares all the adorable crafts that her lucky future little will get! Can't wait to find out who the girl behind the computer is.

Put them all together, you have a Pi Phi miss! Formal Recruitment 2012!

Formal Recruitment has finally ended and MD Gamma is excited to welcome a new group of beautiful angels to our chapter! After a week of long hours of standing in heels, crafting until dawn and a whole lot of singing, we're left with an amazing group of women who are excited to be Pi Phis!

The first party, ice water round, was Saturday, February 4th. This was the first chance for Pi Phi to meet all of the potential new members.
Primping for Ice Water round!
Relaxing between parties.
The second party, theme round, was on the following Monday. Pi Phi's theme was Destination: Pi Phi! We had decorations for popular travel sports such as Egypt, Paris, Hollywood and Fiji.
A few of Pi Phi's adorable red-heads!
Walking like an Egyptian at theme!
Preference round was on Wednesday. This was the final party in recruitment, and the most gorgeous of them all! Everyone looked classy in their black dresses and badges.
Pi Phi love at Preference round.
The executive board!
And finally the big day; Bid Day! After all of our hard work, MD Gamma finally met our new members! Our theme was "A Pi Phi's Life for Me". We decorated treasure chests, sent messages in a bottle, and set up a photo booth with fun pirate-themed props.
So glad to be a Pi Phi!
We can't wait to get to know each and everyone one of them!

Intersession in the Everglades!



While many sisters were stuck up north for January, a few lucky ladies traveled south with the outdoors club to kayak in the Everglades. Check out some photos from their tropical adventure.
 
Maritza and Jenna are ready to go.
