The official publication for donors and friends of Pi Beta Phi Foundation
A Message from Jill Mackey Carrel, Director of Advancement Dear Sisters and Friends, More than half my life has been blessed with sisters, friends and mentors whom I have the privilege to know because of my membership in Pi Beta Phi. My special Pi Phi memories span major life milestones, including weddings and welcoming children, and everyday moments, like phone calls in the school carpool line and catching up over coffee. My own Pi Phi story is one of transformation. I started as an eager chapter and campus leader, spent a year as a Traveling Graduate Consultant (now called Leadership Development Consultant) for Pi Phi, became a young professional, transitioned to life as a stay-at-home mom and international volunteer and eventually re-entered the workforce as an advancement officer.
At each step in my life, my Pi Phi sisters have been there to guide, support and encourage me — and most importantly, to challenge me to stretch myself. I cherish my Pi Phi sisters, especially my consultant class and the countless women I've served alongside as a volunteer, for the Sincere Friendship we continue to share. In this new season of my life, as Director of Advancement for Pi Beta Phi Foundation, it's such an honor to hear so many Pi Phi stories like mine — stories of transformative experiences, all in the name of sisterhood and friendship. For the past 153 years, Pi Phi has promoted friendship, cultivated leadership potential and enriched lives through community service. It's clear our membership in Pi Phi has shaped the women we've become — and in turn, our sisterhood needs the constant care of every member to ensure future generations of women benefit from the support of sincere friends and the inspiration to achieve our goals. We ask ourselves and our members: What has Pi Phi given you? I can say with confidence that Pi Phi has given me some of my dearest friends, most beloved memories and fulfilling opportunities to support the sisterhood I hold so dear. And, as Pi Phi continues to evolve, giving of our time, talent and treasure will continue to make an impact for our sisterhood in ways we can't yet imagine. Every gift makes a difference as we approach new horizons and work to ensure Pi Phi's future. That's why I believe supporting Pi Phi through gifts to our Foundation is a tangible way to live the values at the core of our sisterhood. Giving embodies friendship in its truest form — sisters supporting sisters. And, though our Pi Phi stories are all unique, it's my hope that the power of Sincere Friendship is the common thread woven through each one.

parted ways, we started a group text message to stay in touch. It quickly became clear that Leadership Institute, and the friendships we developed there, truly made an impact on all of us. One by one, we began stepping into new leadership positions. In the fall of 2018, Annie was slated Vice President Membership (VPM) for Missouri Alpha. And, a few months later, I was hired as a Leadership Development Consultant (LDC) for Pi Phi. We celebrated our accomplishments and continued to share our joy and gratitude in our group text. When I received my LDC fall visit schedule, I was thrilled to see Annie's chapter on my list! Annie and I were reunited during my visit to Missouri Alpha. Shortly before we met to discuss her experience as VPM, we learned Annie was slated Chapter President for the coming year. I'm so proud of Annie for everything she's already accomplished and can't wait to see what she achieves in the future. It's such a delight to call her my friend, my sister and my inspiration. Our friendship wouldn't have been possible without our incredible sisterhood and the opportunities Pi Phi provides to

A Beacon of Goodness in the World by WENDY LABRECHE PRATT, Massachusetts Beta
Shortly after arriving at the University of Massachusetts, I realized I needed some way to make such a big place feel smaller. At that time, the student population was larger than three times the size of my hometown! Two friends living in my residence hall showed me that sorority life was one way to find a home on campus. Pi Phi became my home during my four years at UMass and gave me some of my closest friends for life. One of the friends from my hall — fellow Massachusetts Beta KATHY OUIMET PERRIN — became my big sister, and we’re still in touch to this day. After graduation, I moved around a bit before earning my MBA at Indiana University, and served one year on the Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC) for Indiana Beta. For the 30 years that followed, my Pi Phi involvement was diligently reading The Arrow and staying in touch with my Massachusetts Beta sisters — but not actively volunteering.
