I've been trying to think for awhile on how I wanted to answer this. It's so hard to express an answer in words.
People who know me in real life know that Pi Phi has always had a special place in my heart. Before rush I would look out my dorm window towards the Pi Phi house and wish I was a member. Everything about the girls, the house, everything seemed right. I seemed touched by the grace of the angel. (Plus, my birthday is April 28. You can't beat that.)
I've gone through a lot with my sisters. I did for almost a full four years, and I continue to experience many emotions and achievements with them. My sisters have stuck by my side for years, and for that I am eternally grateful. It's cliche, but to me Pi Phi is having a second family. They have always accepted me for me. Pi Phi is true sisterhood, which for me was expressed by late night talks on the stairwell, dancing with my pledge sisters on Senior Night, and running home to hugs and tears when my Rho Chi duties ended on Bid Day. It's been hard becoming an alum because I have lost touch with many of my sisters, but that feeling of love and involvement came back a few weeks ago when I returned to help out with recruitment. Again, I felt so welcomed and loved, and a feeling like that is hard to come by. Pi Phi is special to me because, well, it just IS. How else can you express such untangable feelings such as love and support?
As a side tangent, I wanted to add that I felt Pi Phi is special because it includes as all in the larger greek family. I normally feel "connected" to those in other organizations, mainly because we all understand what it means to not only be a part of our own organization but also greek in general. (I say this because today I found out my clinical supervisor was a Theta, and it was neat to know that we have that bond.)
