Pi Phis are everywhere!

We may have been far apart this summer, but Pi Phi was still dear to our hearts! Whether its wearing your letters or chatting up a stranger, our sisters have found that the Pi Phi connection extends way beyond our chapter. Here were some of our experiences this year:

Kristin B.
I was walking through my neighborhood and saw an older woman struggling to carry groceries from her car to her house. When I stopped to help, we began talking and I mentioned I was a Pi Phi. She got really excited and said she was a Pi Phi as well, started talking about her college days, and all the Pi Phi songs and events. It's neat to see just how lifelong Pi Phi is!

It was right after Initiation and I was walking to class in the morning. The girl behind me commented that she liked my Pi Phi bag and it turned out she was also a Pi Phi. She's a JHU grad student from Virginia Tech. She wished us all luck and was happy for us.

I was working in retail over winter break, just a few weeks after we had gotten initiated. There was a customer who was wearing a JHU sweatshirt, so I started chatting her up. She went to JHU Med School, and when she saw my Pi Phi lavaliere, she recognized me as one of the new charters, and was super exited for us. I expected active members to kind of know that we just started a chapter, but it's really cool that alumnae keep so up to date and involved, too.

I went to the pool with my friend and wore our Homecoming tank top. And older woman stopped by and asked if I was a Pi Phi and proceeded to tell me that she was too. She went to Florida State University and lives in Las Vegas now. She was hilarious and sweet, and told me that she was excited for our chapter. She said that we have an enormous and amazing network of women across the country with Pi Phi and wished our chapter the best!

I was visiting law schools and feeling very overwhelmed by everything. When chatting with an alumni of one, I felt an instant connect. Willing to share her law school experiences with me, it wasn't surprising to learn that she was a Pi Phi at Stetson University! Later, I was helping with a book drive in NYC and was wearing my Pi Phi sweatshirt. Turns out a lot of the volunteers and teachers were Pi Phi alumnae - always continuing to support literacy!
