Seniors in OH Kappa Pi Beta Phi

           As a senior of Pi Phi, you may experience many events. For example, we host alternative meetings where we discuss things ranging from what it means to leave a legacy behind to what kinds of socials we’d like to have. You participate in socials, some of which the chapter sponsors, but beyond that, the seniors attend events to make us closer as a class. This quarter, specifically, we are attending a chapter-sponsored event where we will do paintings on canvases together, just us senior class. Next quarter, we hope to attend other events such as comedy shows, baseball games, or simply having a night out at dinner!
            When a senior is graduating, we host a ceremony called Senior Farewell Ceremony. The Vice President of Membership is highly involved in this process, as well as our AAC members (or our alumni members). This ceremony is important in transitioning the seniors into the real world as adults. What is different about the ceremony coming up on March 6th for Lori Sobolewski (our only graduating senior) is that we will have a Region 2 Pi Phi in town! Leisa Lowrey is the Regional Director for Region 2, which is a huge deal! This ceremony is followed by the Seniors Toasts, which is where other Pi Phi’s send off the graduating Pi Phis with funny, tearful sayings to cap off their year as graduating seniors!
            All of these ceremonies and events are special to specifically seniors, giving us one last push until we’re out in the real world as adults! Being a Pi Phi cannot be summed up in two paragraphs, but this is just a glimpse into several ceremonies involved in a Pi Phi senior’s life!
