FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Welcome to our website for the Iowa Gamma Chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Iowa State University! The Iowa Gamma Chapter was chartered in 1877 and was the first sorority on Iowa State's campus. Pi Beta Phi's values are integrity, lifelong commitment, honor and respect, philanthropic service to others, personal and intellectual growth, and sincere friendship. Our values are at the core of everything we do as Pi Phis and are part of what bring us together. This chapter is full of members who are passionate, ambitious, and determined to make an impact by being involved in both the Sorority and Fraternity Community as well as the ISU community and Ames community. Members participate in Greek Week and Homecoming Central, Ivy College of Business Student Council, Cardinal Key Honors Society, ISU Dance Team, Dance Marathon, Blood Drive, and many other organizations! 

Not only are our members passionate about community involvement, but they also care deeply about our chapter. Members connect with each other through sisterhood events and community engagement. Pi Phi's main philanthropic effort is promoting literacy, we raise money for the Pi Beta Phi Foundation which supports Read > Lead > Achieve and other literacy initiatives. During the year members are also involved with Champions Are Readers (CAR) and Pen Pals which are programs that directly involve members in promoting literacy right here in the Ames community. 

 
I couldn’t imagine my college career without Pi Phi included in every milestone that comes with college. The outpour of true support, love, and appreciation that each member shows to you is truly something special that I wouldn’t have found without my amazing chapter. Pi Phi has guided me to be the person I am today, and I am so grateful every day that I get to call Pi Phi and its members my home for the 4 short years that college is. I can’t wait to see the amazing places that our leadership team will take us and the never-ending memories and opportunities I get to experience with some of the people that I cherish the most.
 
We are proud to be part of the Panhellenic community at Iowa State, which is full of amazing chapters that are also making an impact on our campus and beyond. Thank you for spending some time visiting our website and learning more about the Sorority and Fraternity Community at ISU. Feel free to visit our contact page if you have any questions.
 
In the wine and silver blue,
Alexa Newgard | Chapter President 2023
