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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

The Power of Dressing Up

Why it pays to leave the hoodie at home.

College of Staten Island

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
