Hi Girls!  My name is Anne, and I was just initiated into Pi Phi the Fall of 2005.  Being a Pi Phi has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life, but more important than being a Pi Phi was the process of learning that Pi Phi was the right choice for me, and that I was the right choice for Pi Phi.  Recruitment was great because I got to know all the girls of each sorority and all the other girls going through the recruitment process.  The week of recruitment is so busy, and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but it’s a great way to meet people and is a ton of fun.  Recruitment is all about being yourself and finding the place where you feel most comfortable.  You really do have to follow your heart as you go to all the parties and make your final preferences.  Keep in mind that everyone has her own experience during recruitment, and each individual experience can be equally amazing.  Just enjoy the week and have fun.  You know what is best for you, so trust your instincts and the decisions you make.  My sisters and I can’t wait to meet you during recruitment!

Are you a parent and wondering if a sorority is right for your daughter?  Read this parent's perspective...

Hello.  My name is Mary Auliff Havens.  I am a graduate of Monmouth College, a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, and the mother of the former President of the Illinois Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi.  Three years ago I encouraged  Amanda to become involved in Recruitment, and investigate membership in a women's Greek society.  I felt it was a great way to meet new students and possibly establish lifelong ties.  I have been impressed by the opportunities for service Amanda has experienced, as well as the emphasis on academics that Pi Phi encourages.  I know that Amanda has developed strong ties with her sisters and as she begins her senior year I am proud of how she has matured.  Please encourage your daughter to attend Recruitment activities.  There is much to gain as she experiences "what college was meant to be" at Monmouth College.
