your GLO: Pi Beta Phi
-how long you've been a member: Pledged September 78, Initiated February 79 so it'll be 25 years next month so I'll be a Silver Arrow Pi Phi!
-how active an alum you've been
VERY-- I've been active in local alum groups ever since I graduated, advised a chapter for 8 years then became a regional chapter advisor. I have served Pi Phi as a Director for 4 years.
-why you come to GC
I enjoy the discussions. Since I work with collegiate members, I believe it is important to hear what they are thinking, what is important to them.
-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
I value the friendships I've made. I still get chills when I hear ritual (especially when it's done at our Conventions... having 1200 sisters singing and reciting the ritual is an unbelievable experience). I'm active because I had the benefit of some wonderful alumnae advisors when I was a collegiate and I felt it was important for me to give back what I'd been given as a student.
-anything else you care to share
Maybe it's a cliche but strong chapters come from strong alumnae (but not overbearing). If I want Pi Phi to be around for my nieces/ nephews' children, then I need to work toward continued improvement.
