Chapter President: Julie Zischke
Hii! I'm Julie, and I'm a senior here at the lovely UC Santa Barbara. I'm originally from Lafayette/Orinda, California near San Francisco. I'm majoring in Global Studies with an emphasis in East Asia and minoring in Professional Writing with an emphasis in Business Communication. This is my second year as Chapter President and I still love every minute of it. This year I am splitting my time between living in the Pi Phi house for fall quarter and living on the oceanside of Del Playa with my closest senior friends in Pi Phi. I have been in Santa Barbara all summer, enjoying my ocean view and taking summer school classes. I am so excited for fall quarter to begin and to make this last year at UCSB the best! It's hard to pick but I would say one of my favorite memories would be last summer when I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and mt up for a weekend in Barcelona with five other Pi Phi's. We enjoyed all that Europe had to offer and it was so great to have so many familiar faces around to enjoy it with!

VP Fraternity Development: Jenny Wolfe
Hey, I’m Jenny! I’m originally from Chicago, and I love being able to
have the best of both worlds and live in two awesome, but completely
different places. I’m a junior History major and my favorite parts of UCSB are the
sunsets, running on the beach, and hiking. I spent the summer in Chicago and the best part about
Chicago in the Summer is the 3-day music festival Lollapalooza. Even though the Midwest is
great, I can’t wait to get back to Santa Barbara and move back in to Pi
Phi! My favorite memory to think about when I get homesick for Santa
Barbara is winning Lambda Chi Alpha’s Watermelon Bust Philanthropy in
fall.

VP Membership: Jamie Singer
Hi! My name is Jamie and I am a senior (but in denial about it) from Irvine,
California. I am a double major in Communication and Business Economics
with an emphasis in Accounting. I spent the first half of my summer
studying abroad in Barcelona and the second half studying here in Isla
Vista! When I’m not reading or watching re-runs of Prison Break, I love
to hike in Montecito, run on the beach, and wander around Downtown SB.
I lived in Pi Phi for the past two years, and though I absolutely love
living in my house on Del Playa, I REALLY miss the couch in the TV
room. Fall quarter cant come quick enough!
VP Philanthropy: Parry Rominger
Hey all! My name is Parry and I am a third year from Woodland, a quaint
town outside of Sacramento. I am a Sociology major intending on
minoring in Professional Writing. I just got back from studying abroad
in Florence, Italy for the summer and cannot wait to move back into the
house in a few weeks and am looking forward to being back in the Barbs
with all my friends. Mostly, I miss sitting in the TV room with
everyone swapping the nights' stories and chowin' down on our chef Ben's food. I
am SO excited to start my third year at UCSB and for the fun times
ahead!
VP Communication: Alyssa Cohan
Hello! My name is Alyssa Cohan and I'm going into my 4th year here in
paradise, I mean UCSB. I am originally from Sherman Oaks and I am an
English/Art History double major and this is my second year serving on
the Executive Board of Pi Beta Phi, this year serving as the Vice
President of Communications. I love to travel and this summer I was
fortunate enough to spend a month in Barcelona with two of my best
friends in Pi Phi. We traveled to Paris, Madrid and Pamplona
together, getting lost, and taking millions of pictures along the way. I
had such a wonderful time and had such amazing company I hope I get to
do it again next year!
VP Event Planning: Natalie Waltz
Coming soon!
VP Housing: Sammi Stone
Hi! My name is Sammi Stone and I am the VP of Housing for Pi Beta Phi
at UCSB. I will be a junior this year, majoring in Communication and
minoring in Spanish. I came to California for school from Denver,
Colorado, but have absolutely loved every minute I’ve spent in Santa
Barbara. I can’t wait to move back into the Pi Phi house in September,
as living their last year was one of the best experiences of my life! I
will be studying abroad in Barcelona this coming spring, but luckily,
some of my closest friends in Pi Phi will be right there with me. My
favorite memory so far was the night we won Watermelon Bust (a week-long
fraternity philanthropy), but I know there are still many more memories
to be made!
