Sentiments
Dear Sisters, As this season paints the world in vibrant hues, I'm delighted to present the fall 2023 issue of The Crescent — a testament to the remarkable stories that define our sisterhood.
The following pages highlight tales of strength, resilience and the unbreakable bonds that unite us. These stories echo the very essence of our sisterhood and the inspiration it imparts. This issue, however, is more than just a collection of stories; it is a prelude to a momentous occasion on the horizon: Gamma Phi Beta’s 150th anniversary.
Our 150th will honor our enduring legacy and bright future ahead, and we plan to celebrate in various ways all year long in 2024. From Coast-toCoast Celebrations to a Traveling Exhibit to an official podcast, our 150th Celebration will be a point of pride within our organization's history.
More importantly, our anniversary is not just a milestone; it's a reiteration of our commitment to sisterhood, growth and continuing to make a difference in the world around us. So, as we celebrate our beloved Gamma Phi Beta throughout the next year, let's also focus on the legacy we are crafting today for future generations of sisters.
In IIKE,
Megan Smiley Wick (Washington State)
