PI BETA PHI
VIRGINIA GAMMA CHAPTER | ESTABLISHED IN 1925
WHY PI PHI?
In 1867, 12 courageous young women set the stage for a thriving organization that continues to enrich the lives of many during their collegiate years and beyond. Throughout our history, Pi Beta Phi has helped young women develop meaningful relationships with others while reaching their personal potential. These relationships help sisters adapt to college life by providing a sense of belonging, mutual support and guidance. Our legacy of philanthropic service, innovative member programming, premier events and leadership development programs help our sisters become Friends and Leaders for Life.

MORE ABOUT US
Since 1867, Pi Beta Phi has ensured women have the support of sincere friends, opportunities to lead and the inspiration to achieve their goals. We’re proud of our heritage and honor the legacy of Pi Phis who have come before us. Sisters coming together to support each other is as relevant today as when our 12 courageous founders formed the first women’s fraternity.
Friendship has been at the core of Pi Phi sisterhood for more than 150 years. Now, more than 300,000 members strong, we cultivate relationships through shared experiences and values. We prioritize philanthropic work and maintain a century-long commitment to bettering society through literacy service. Our premier programming and member events promote personal, intellectual and leadership growth and provide Pi Phis a place to develop and practice their skills.
Our members know Pi Phi sisterhood lasts a lifetime. Whether serving as volunteers or staying connected through an alumnae club, our members remain dedicated to Pi Phi long after college.

SISTERHOOD STORIES
Sincere Friendship is essential to Pi Phi sisterhood — so essential, in fact, that it's specifically mentioned in our Constitution. Our founders' choice of the word sincere was purposeful. By distinguishing the quality of their friendship as sincere, they conveyed the depth of meaning that set their bond apart from all others. With this word, our founders called us to be intentional as we cultivate relationships of depth and meaning and invest in our friendships with sisters.
