LIVING OUR VALUES
Gathering in Sisterhood Leads to Meaningful Impact
In Pi Beta Phi, we deeply cherish the values of community and togetherness. From chapter-specific events and traditions to collaboration with members across North America, there is no replacement for being together with our sisters. As Illinois Zeta continues into the Fall 2024 term, we look forward to the abundance of opportunities it will bring.
Returning to campus is always a special time filled with excitement and gratitude. After spending the summer apart, we are all so excited to hear the stories and memories each sister made. Every member is uniquely diverse in their interests and aspirations, and it is amazing to hear everything they accomplished. Continuing to share our growth and experiences deepens our bonds more and more each year.
Being together on campus not only allows us to foster genuine connection and Sincere Friendship, but also provides the opportunity for community engagement. As Pi Phis, we embrace our mission to enrich lives through community service. Giving back is at the core of who we are, and Illinois Zeta is dedicated to fulfilling this vision for our sisterhood.
There are many opportunities for Illinois Zetas to engage with our community in purposeful ways. The Fall 2024 term is especially meaningful, as we celebrate Read > Lead > Achieve ® month in September alongside the entirety of our sisterhood. Our chapter is also looking forward to continuing to serve our local dyslexic clinic where we volunteer each week and give back to our community. Additionally, homecoming week creates many special memories as we often have large groups of alumnae come to the house and bond with our new members. It's so exciting to see how Pi Phi’s values connect such a diverse group of women. Seeing the love and connection between members even after they graduate reminds us just how lucky we are to be sisters for life.
The Fall 2024 term looks promising at Illinois Zeta, and as Chapter President, I’m honored to keep witnessing Pi Phi’s commitment to bettering the lives of our sisters and community members. Nothing fills our hearts with more Pi Phi Pride than authentically living the values of our sisterhood.
