Happy Founders Day!

On a perfect sunny day, one hundred and twenty girls gathered with several Pi Phi alumni from the Baltimore area to celebrate the origins of Pi Beta Phi. 

Every April, Pi Phi chapters all over the world honor the work of our twelve founding members for the work that they did in creating Pi Beta Phi. MD Gamma, being no different, celebrated in style last week at the Inn at the Colonnade.

We listened to the chair of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Julie A. Freischlag (a proud Pi Phi alumnae), completed our signature Ring Ching song, handed out senior awards, and honored our founders with the Founders' Day Candle Lighting Ceremony!


Here are a couple photos of the great day:

Komal Desai, Zoe Kaye and Maddie Goodman enjoy their first Founders Day as newly initiated members! 

The food was great and Maritza Nicole seems to have agreed!

The weather was perfect and helped everyone look their Sunday best!

These couple of hours with MD Gamma's many Pi Phi sisters were special in that they helped us to remember the pledge we all took and the promises we made to ourselves and to each other when we joined Pi Phi and only helped to cement our excitement for next year's Founders Day!
