I transferred to the University of Puget Sound my sophomore year and it was a nerve-wracking experience, to say the least. I was scared to start over. A new school also meant a new environment with new classes, new professors, new teammates, and new friends; the making friends part was what I was most nervous about. The only familiar face around campus was my older sister Keiana, who coincidentally happens to be a Pi Phi as well. My first semester at UPS, I lived on the ground floor of Oppenheimer with predominantly male-presenting individuals, many of whom were involved in fraternities on campus. They welcomed me to campus with open arms and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and explore Greek life. Stepping into Pi Phi during recruitment for the first time, I immediately felt a sense of belonging and safety among the warm smiles and welcoming atmosphere. Over time, Pi Phi became more than just a sorority to me; it became my home. Through my involvement in various leadership positions, including serving as the Vice President of Recruitment on the executive board, Pi Phi provided me with invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth, shaping my university experience in ways I had never imagined possible. Pi Beta Phi has brought me my lifelong friends and for that I will be eternally grateful.
