Our Vice President of Social Advancement will guide new members through the Pledge period. As a pledge, one develops friendships with initiated members and pledge sisters. Involvement in Pi Beta Phi can also help ease the transition and adjustment to the university environment. In addition, every new member receives a big sister who will guide her through the pledge period and initiation into Pi Beta Phi. A unique bond forms between big and little sisters that lasts a lifetime.
Social events are available to all members.
Our Social Chair organizes formal exchanges with other fraternities to allow Pi Phis to meet other members of the Greek system. Other sisterhood events include movie nights, lockdowns, informal gatherings at nearby establishments, road trips, study nights, etc. The Greek system at the University of Alberta also offers a wide variety of social events which are usually open to all students. Pi Beta Phi offers academic support to all members. Our Vice President of Mental Advancement helps all members establish goals for the school year and she also maintains an unofficial registry of tutors for classes.
