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 opportunities with members across North America, there is no replacement for being together with our sisters. After spending the summer months apart and reuniting on campus earlier this fall, there have been an abundance of opportunities to live our values at Florida Epsilon.
Florida Epsilon members cherish the time we spend with one another; being together on campus is always a special time filled with excitement and gratitude. Spirit week and recruitment always start the year off on the right foot. It felt like a reunion with the entire chapter after being apart for the summer break and was a true bonding experience as we prepared to welcome and incorporate a New Member class into our sisterhood. Living in the chapter house is such a valuable experience that offers a unique energy which can’t be duplicated.
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 Florida Epsilon is dedicated to fulfilling this vision for our sisterhood.
At Florida Epsilon, there are many possibilities to engage with our community in purposeful ways. The fall term is especially meaningful, as the holidays provide the perfect opportunity for gratitude, generosity and giving back. Our chapter is proud of our philanthropy week, where we raise money for Read>Lead>Achieve® and host a book and school supply drive that allows us to connect directly with a local teacher. We’re also excited to partner with a local non-profit that assists members of the foster care community to provide tutoring and supplies. That personal touch really brings home how we are impacting our local community. Sincere Friendship forms best when we are working towards a goal like Philanthropic Service to Others.
The Fall 2024 term has been truly fulfilling at Florida Epsilon, 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.
