Part of the biggest issue is that too many young women do not view their fraternity membership as a lifetime experience. Whether they pledge as a freshmen or a senior, within 5 years the majority are not involved, nor do they see value in being involved. "Senioritis" is a symptom of a much larger problem. What Pi Phi is trying to do (and I borrow the Girl Scout term) is bridging the gap... by allowing our seniors to participate in activities that have meaning to them and introducing them to the value of alumnae connections, it is hoped that they will want to be members of the alumnae panhellenic. Waiting until they have graduated is too late.... we've lost them to the minutiae of chapter "requirements". Will this work? We hope so, but truly won't know for some time. Doing something is better than doing nothing....
