What Happens Inside Matters Most For generations of Pi Phis, the chapter has been the place where Sincere Friendships are born — and this tradition still holds true for our sisters today. Whether the seeds are planted within the walls of a chapter house or in the common area of a suite, or at a special meeting space on campus or at a favorite community gathering place, Sincere Friendships take root in the places our chapters call home. It's where Pi Phis learn to care for each other, pursue their academic goals, practice leadership skills and celebrate the ups and downs of life surrounded by women who share similar values and aspirations. The chapter facility is also the setting for some of our most cherished Pi Phi memories. Do you remember staying up late to hear how a date went, or cramming for a final exam into the wee hours? What about standing at the front of the chapter room to present your best and brightest idea? Maybe you made a wish at a Cookie Shine or passed a candle to announce a sister's engagement. If you lived in a chapter house, do you remember running out the front door with open arms to welcome your newest sisters on Bid Day? Depending on when you were in school, you might have crowded in front of the mirror to set, tease, spray, crimp, straighten or curl your hair — likely while laughing with your best friends. And, on graduation day, you probably gathered on the lawn with your New Member class to snap one more photo together.

“THE CHAPTER HOUSE IS THE SETTING FOR MY FONDEST COLLEGE MEMORIES. SOME OF MY GREATEST LESSONS WERE LEARNED INSIDE THE CHAPTER HOUSE. THE EXPERIENCE OF LIVING WITH MY SISTERS, WHO SHARED MY VALUES, CONTRIBUTED TO MY SUCCESS.” – MARGY HARM MOORHEAD, INDIANA GAMMA

... BEING A MEMBER OF PI BETA PHI MEANS ALWAYS HAVING A PLACE TO CALL HOME. AFTER ALL, HOME IS WHERE YOUR SISTERS ARE. Sincere Friendships cultivated in our chapters make Pi Phi facilities truly special places unlike any other on campus. Learning and growing together as sisters, especially within a Pi Phi facility, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build bonds that last forever. While we're proud of beautiful homes and suites and well-maintained properties, we know it's what happens inside those walls that matters most. We know sisterhood isn't defined by a location alone, but rather by our love and appreciation for one another. Whether a chapter has a live-in facility or a shared meeting space, being a member of Pi Beta Phi means always having a place to call home. After all, home is where your sisters are.
