Pi Phi Summer Days: Bonnie

For this edition of Pi Phi Summer Days, I bring you Ms. Bonnie. Bonnie will always hold a special place in my heart as she prefed me during recruitment! Recruitment is a long a stressful process, but Bonnie's bubbly personality lead me to making one of the best decisions I've ever made. So thank you, Bonnie!

Bonnie is a rising senior and hails from Alaska! She likes Doctor Who, long walks in the desert looks for ancient civilizations, and wearing hipster glasses. Bonnie, like her little, Ali (who was in a previous Pi Phi Summer Days), majors in Archaeology. This summer she traveled all the way to Italy for two amazing opportunities for field work.

"I am working a two separate field schools for archaeology! The first one is two hours outside of Rome at a roman and Etruscan site. The second is about half an hour outside of Siena studying an Etruscan tile workshop! This is my second year at the Siena excavation and as such will be working as staff! Highlights of the summer include some really interesting artifact finds, as well as a viewing the Palio horse race, and swimming in the Mediterranean ocean!"


We hope you had a great time this summer, Bonnie, and can't wait to see you in the fall!

PPL & M,
Gaby
