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.
