Welcome to Pi Beta Phi! 

The 2010-2011 school year was filled with amazing accomplishments and exciting opportunities for the members of our organization. Our sisterhood is a truly unique one that offers every member the chance to become a leader in all aspects of Greek and campus life, all while encouraging one another to be the best person she can possibly be. All of our members participate in philanthropic events throughout the year that help better the community. The two events that our organization exclusively hosts are Arrowbowl and Speed Read. Our members are also heavily involved in other campus-wide philanthropies such as Knight-Thon and Relay for Life. Pi Beta Phi’s main philanthropic focus is fostering literacy among all students, with an emphasis on elementary aged children in impoverished areas, while also raising money for our organization’s national philanthropy, First Book.   

Throughout the year, we host a multitude of sisterhood events that only bring us closer as friends and sisters. Every year we have a Sisterhood Retreat, a Semi-Formal and Formal date function, a Parent’s Weekend BBQ that takes places in the fall, and a Founder’s Day luncheon that takes place in the spring. This past Spring semester, we had a Mother/Daughter Weekend in which we hosted a brunch at our house, and had a group event in which we all went to Farris and Foster's Chocolate Factory. We also had a Sisterhood Retreat earlier in the semester, along with a Sisterhood Banquet, in which we had an amazing time at Ceviche in downtown Orlando. In regards to other sisterhood events, we attended a Magic basketball game as a group, painted pottery at the house, and hosted a Pi Phi pool party complete with waterslides in our front yard!    

In addition to these sisterhood events, our members are also incredibly involved with other activities on campus such as intramural sports, Student Government, Volunteer UCF, O-Team, President’s Leadership Council, and the like.   

Pi Beta Phi not only achieves within the Greek community, but within the classroom as well. Our chapter GPA is consistently above the all-women’s average, and we constantly strive to better ourselves intellectually each and every year. This past Spring semester, Pi Beta Phi had the third highest GPA out of all Greek Organizations, sororities and fraternities included, with an overall 3.269 semesterly GPA. Such academic excellence is stressed highly within our organization and especially to new members, along with our six core values: Integrity, Lifelong Commitment, Honor and Respect, Personal and Intellectual Growth, Philanthropic Service to Others, and Sincere Friendship. These values set the foundation for our sisterhood, and make Pi Beta Phi truly one of a kind. Pi Beta Phi is not something that can be easily described by words; it is something that the heart feels and the mind knows. In more ways than one, Pi Beta Phi has impacted my college career and changed my life for the better. I am beyond honored to represent the Florida Epsilon chapter of Pi Beta Phi as its President, and even more blessed to call each one of these amazing girls my sisters. Please feel free to look around the website to get more of an idea of what the sisterhood of Florida Epsilon is all about!
