There's Something About a Pi Phi
A Pi Phi is someone who shows up—for her friends, her community and herself. She values real connection and finds strength in being part of something bigger. She brings people together and lights the way for those around her.

Legacy Status and Recruitment
Pi Phi values the special connections that come with legacy relationships, including daughters, sisters and granddaughters of initiated members. At the same time, legacy status does not guarantee an invitation or membership. Each Potential New Member is considered individually during recruitment, and each chapter makes decisions based on their own membership selection process.
Frequently Asked Questions
