Pi Phi Phiesta

With a night of tacos, queso, salsa, and colorful banners, the senoritas of Pi Beta Phi come together for and end of the year celebration.

Each year the members of Pi Phi hold a sisterhood “Phiesta” celebrating their incoming freshman. The event gives the new members an opportunity to show the upperclassmen what they have been working on to prepare for recruitment in the fall.

“It’s a great time for the whole sorority to get together, eat Mexican food, and really get to cheer on the new members,” Pi Phi president Cameryn Miller said. The sisters eat together and before the freshman put on the show.

Older girls come up in the front of the sorority and describe different experiences they’ve had in past recruitments. “I thought it was going to be more upbeat and more of a party,” new Pi Phi member Olivia Turner said. “Bit was pretty laid back and I had a great time.”

The girls also sing songs that have been apart of the Pi Beta Phi recruitment process for years. “The songs are the best,” Turner said. “Its really funny when someone starts to sing before everyone else.”

At the end the freshman show the upperclassmen their door stack. Each girl gets on top of another so that her heads are stacked in a perfect line across the doorway. “It think they did a great job, especially since they didn’t have as much time to practice,” Miller said.
