San-D,
As an older Pi Phi, your post made me want to cry. I was immediately reminded of a poem that I remembered from my Pi Phi days:
An "If" For Pi Phis
If you can love the Pi Phi arrow
and not forget that there are kites and keys
If you can show your love, yet not be narrow, remembering
that there are other things than these...
If Pi Phi love is always thus abiding,
Yet for the lonesome girl you have a smile
Why then I'll know that 'neath your arrow's
hiding a heart that holds all lovely things worthwhile.
-Hope Bedford, Indiana Gamma
--I had to go to a website to get the exact wording (it's been a while)

May I wish you the best of luck and please let us know how your recruitment goes. Your post serves as a reminder that we always represent our GLO's, whether we have our letters on, or are wearing a jeweled pin, or just a smile.
