20 Reasons I Love Gamma Phi Beta

Thanks for the memories and for those to come.

1. The Sisterhood

Gamma Phi has taught me what it is like to have sisters. I know everyone says they love their sisterhood, but I now know why.

2. Philanthropy

Building Strong Girls... As a woman it is hard to be strong and confident, but it feels so great to teach young girls how to be confident. I learn so much more from those girls than they will learn from me.

3. Social/Mixer/Formal

I do not pay for my friends, I pay for my queso and chicken tenders at a Mixer.

4. Networking

No matter where you go, there is always a sister near by.

5. T-shirts GALORE

I live in t-shirts. Joining Gamma Phi was a dream when I realized how many t-shirts came along with it.

6. Ritual

It is so sacred and moving. Women who are new sisters to women who are 95 can talk of the same experience they had, but only sisters will ever know.

7. Academic Accountability

Shoutout to our scholarship chairwoman for making sure I log my study hours!!

8. Campus Involvement

Coming to a new school is tough, but your sisters will always help you feel welcomed!

9. SONGS

I love singing... from the songs we sing to the chants we scream, Gamma Phi has a good time.

10. International

Thinking of moving to Canada? You will still have sisters nearby!

11.My Pledge Class

I love my pledge class, they have been with me through recruitment to bid day to big/little to so much more!!

12. My B I G

She is the definition of a TRUE AND CONSTANT friend!!! When I locked my keys in my car and had to wait two hours for the locksmith she met me, took me to coffee, and went shopping to take my mind off things.

13.Constant Support

No matter what a sister is struggling with, we do not mind taking time out of our day to help them, pray for them, or think about them.

14. Inspired Me to the Highest Type of Womanhood

Every day I aspire to be the best I can, especially with the letters on the back of my car (no more road rage).

15. Always Under the Crescent Moon

There is always a sister there to look after you, support you, welcome you to a new community, whatever you need!

16. Same Letters, but Many Paths

We are not all the stereotypical blonde hair blue eyed, and it is so beautiful!! Although we are a sorority, we are still diverse in many aspects.

17. They Have My Back

I found out who my friends were.

18. Alumni

They know so much about Gamma Phi and want you to know it all too.

19. I Found Home

I ran home to Gamma Phi, and I will never turn back.

20. It’s Not for Years It’s for Life

New Member? Alumni? No Matter. Still a SISTER.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

Clare Concannon

With being a member of Greek life, you are going to come across people who HATE Greek life and who always want to say something negative towards it. If you're not a part of Greek life, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But maybe try and keep some of the not-so-nice comments to yourself.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."
