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 Washington Beta. Washington Beta members cherish the time we spend with one another; being together on campus is always a special time filled with excitement and gratitude. One of my favorite things during the fall term at Washington State University (WSU) is the excitement around Homecoming Week. The campus is full of spirit, and we love getting involved together. Another highlight is when all the clubs start up again—there’s so much energy and a chance to meet new people or reconnect with friends. The sense of community and the fun fall events, like bonfires and harvest festivals, make it a special time to be at WSU.
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 Washington Beta is dedicated to fulfilling this vision for our sisterhood.
At Washington Beta, there are many opportunities 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. As we near the end of the fall term, our chapter is looking forward to our "Lemonade for Literacy" philanthropic event; it’s a great way to raise awareness for Pi Phi’s focus on literacy, and it always feels rewarding to contribute to such an important cause. We also have our yearly joint philanthropic event with another sorority, where we sell baked goods to raise money for Circle of Sisterhood, our campus Panhellenic’s local philanthropy. Both events bring our chapter closer together as we promote Pi Phi’s values of Sincere Friendship and Philanthropic Service to Others.
The Fall 2024 term has been truly fulfilling at Washington Beta, 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.
