Pi Phi & Outreach Tulane

Senior Week!

Seniors say goodbye this week. Throughout the week, piphi families give their seniors presents and celebrate the last week of school with them! On Wednesday, everyone had a great time at the senior crawfish boil and on Thursday, piphis took out their senior for a last family dinner. It was an especially bittersweet moment for everyone, watching their seniors finish college! We are so proud of them and will miss them all dearly!

Relay for Life

This year, pi phis rocked Relay for Life by raising over $4,000 and contributing the most of any group to the cause! Girls throughout the sorority donated, wrote letters inspiring others to help them fight cancer, and participated in the 24 hour Relay for Life marathon. I'm so proud of my pi phi sisters for all of their hard work raising donations and giving their time to help this wonderful cause!

Spring Formal 2010

Spring Formal, held at the Metro, was a fun time where pi phis got to dress up and celebrate the end of the year. Formal is always bittersweet as piphis get to celebrate and dance together as another school year comes to a close. Formal is a chance for girls to get a little more dressed up and have a nice affair to remember their spring semester. I hope everyone had an amazing time!

Initiation Bruch

After initiation, everyone dressed in their formal whites celebrates with brunch at the Court of Two Sisters! Brunch is a great time to celebrate the new member initiation with delicious food. It's always fun to gather together with families, friends and alumni to congratulate our new sisters! This year, we were even lucky enough to have fellow family members who were also pi phis come to initiation to see their daughters and sisters become pi phis as well!

Crawfest

Tulane's annual crawfest party brought music, vendors, and delicious crawfish to the LBC quad. Pi Phis took in the sun on the beautiful day listening to great bands and having a good time. Everyone looks forward to Crawfest as a way for people from Tulane and the greater community to celebrate springtime with great music and food!

Paint Party Part Deux!

Last November, Pi phi girls and Sammy boys threw an amazingly fun mixer and decided it was so great that they had to do it again! The Sammy/Piphi paint party mixer part two was held yesterday and was so much fun! Everyone dressed in white and got creative throwing paint on their sisters and the Sammy boys! The mixer was an awesome way to kick off spring break!

Pink Party

New Members celebrated completing the new member process with pizza and goodies! The Pink Party is a great time to reflect on the bonding experiences new members have in the past couple of months. Everyone wears pink and girls have a chance to reminisce with a slideshow and other fun activities!

Pledge Pin Ceremony

Actives gathered together to watch new members in their pledge pin ceremony. Pledges return their pins, representing their completion of the new member process. They look forward to initiation on Sunday!

Cookie Decorating and Cards for Lambeth House

In celebration of St. Patty's Day, pi phis came together to bake and decorate cookies to give to Lambeth House. Every holiday pi phis spread some extra cheer by providing some warm cookies and heartfelt cards to the men and women living at the Lambeth House!

Pi Phis in Tems

March 14, 2010

Pi Phi’s are involved all over campus in many different organizations. One such organization is Tulane EMS, TEMS. Tulane EMS is a student-run emergency medical service. In 2008, TEMS was voted number one collegiate EMS organization in the nation. It provides free medical care and ambulance service to the member’s of Tulane’s community. All members are EMT Basics who volunteer their time for the Tulane community. All members also volunteer for New Orleans EMS. Tulane EMS provides another exciting way to volunteer in New Orleans.

To become a member, students go through a rigorous application process. Tulane’s Pi Phi Chapter has the largest amount of sorority-affiliated girls within the organization. Julie Bursch, Kelsey Garrison, and Molly Bourke are all members of Tulane EMS. Both Julie and Kelsey are working towards certification as an EMT- Basic. Molly is working toward a promotion as Crew Chief. This Spring more Pi Phi girl’s look to apply to TEMS.

Kiss Me I'm a Pi Phi!

March 12, 2010

Pi Phis took a spin on the upcoming St. Patrick's Day festivities to make our own Kiss Me I'm a Pi Phi date party! Pi Phis and their dates had a great time dressed in green for the event!

Recycle Mania!

March 12, 2010-March 19, 2010

Sophomore Mel Schneider took the amazing initiative to get Pi Phis involved in the Recycle Mania Competition currently being held on campus. As an environmental studies major, Mel is a member of Tulane Eco-Reps, the organization sponsoring the recycling drive. In order to get more students involved and improve recycling standards on Tulane's campus, Mel signed up Pi Phi as a team in the competition! Pi Phis are gathering together their recyclables to help win the competition. It is great to see one of our sisters start a movement that gets the whole sorority involved! Snaps Mel!

Boot Out Breat Cancer

March 11, 2010

After big/little reveal and family dinners, Pi Phis gathered to participate in the Boot Out Breast Cancer event at the Boot. All proceeds and donations went to the New Orleans Breast Cancer Society for breast cancer screening and treatment in the New Orleans area. Live music was provided by The 1608 and prizes were raffled off to raise more money! It was a great event that so many Pi Phis attended and donated to, and it especially meant a lot to help beat Breast Cancer.

Big/Little Reveal

March 11, 2010

Pi Phis held their big/little sister ceremony and the new members' big sisters were revealed! This week has been very exciting for everyone in Pi Phi; new members receive tons of goodies and sophomores get to stealthy decorate their little sister's rooms! After reveal, the families go out to dinner together to celebrate! I had so much fun during the whole big/little process and was so excited to get to surprise my little sister, Annie Quast! It is very fulfilling to have an amazingly fun sorority family to go out with and I am very excited to get to be a big sister and a mentor like my big sister, junior Danielle Burthhardt, has been for me.
