Being a member of Gamma Phi Beta means valuing love, labor, learning, and loyalty above all. This senior class, especially, exemplified outstanding loyalty to their chapter as COVID-19 dramatically altered their senior year. In their last year, they connected through virtual sisterhoods, undertook our first ever Zoom recruitment, and experienced their senior celebration event spaced six feet apart in masks. Through it all, our seniors remained amazing role models for the chapter and exemplified genuine sisterhood, regardless. Now, these women move on to become teachers, graduate students, construction design managers, medical students, and more. Gamma Psi has been beyond lucky to be apart of these women's growth and success. Read on to hear about our new alumni and their plans for the future.
