Pi Chapter - University of Nebraska Lincoln
HELLO!! On behalf of Pi Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I want to say “Welcome!”, and I am so glad you found your way to our website today. As you click through our website, I hope you are able to get a preview into the wonderful sisterhood we have built here in Lincoln. The combination of these pictures and words gives a peek into the people, experiences, and memories that make Pi Chapter so special but also into what being a Gamma Phi at Pi Chapter means. All current and past members are united by our 4 core values: love, labor, learning, and loyalty.
Love in Gamma Phi looks like taking the time to make all feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated. Whether that means having long chats in the tube room, getting the biggest squeeze after returning from a summer apart, or making silly tik toks in the living room, there is always a sister to welcome you home and celebrate you. We always strive to stand up, by, and with our sisters as they strive to inspire the highest type of womanhood.
Labor in Gamma Phi is our engagement and commitment to service and involvement at the University and in our communities. Whether serving as Vice President of the Student Body, starting a local non-profit, or teaching the future generations, our chapter members labor to seek growth for themselves, others, and the world. We encourage our sisters to be involved in the community, both on- and off-campus, and to make an impact in everything they do!
Learning in Gamma Phi is pursuing knowledge not only inside the classroom, but outside of it as well. We are curious and strive for understanding rather than a letter grade, which has allowed us to consistently achieve the highest Greek Chapter GPA on campus. Pursuing an attitude of learning in all aspects allows us to deeply understand who we are and who we are striving to be, as well as understanding the diverse personalities around us.
Loyalty in Gamma Phi is the legacy of a true and constant sisterhood that Pi Chapter has exemplified since 1914. Whether sisters faithfully serve this chapter as an officers, are the go-to person for a sister, or simply eat lunch at the same time every day, Gamma Phi is and will always be consistently there, even after graduation. Our alumni are committed to continuously empowering women and providing an example of an unwavering sisterhood, which we are so grateful for.
Gamma Phi is my true and constant. Because of this sisterhood, I have been shaped into the woman that I am today, and for that I am so grateful. I truly could not imagine my college years without Gamma Phi Beta. We hope you continue to make yourself at home as you scroll through our virtual home!
warmly,
Hallie horner

BUILDING STRONG GIRLS
GAMMA PHI BETA PARTNERS WITH GIRLS ON THE RUN
Not only do the women in our sorority build each other up to become the best versions of themselves, but we are also committed to building strong girls in our community. All philanthropic money that we raise during the year goes to the organization Girls On The Run. Girls On The Run teaches confidence, happiness, leadership, and other life skills while creatively incorporating running to third, fourth, and fifth graders. At the end of each season, teams celebrate with a huge 5K in Lincoln. We are proud to not only donate money to this organization, but we are also actively involved as coaches and 5K volunteers.
FALL PHI-STIVAL

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY WE LOVE GAMMA PHI BETA
"Your time in college will be a crazy ride of emotions, from laughter to tears, from failed tests to acceptance letters, from losses to victories. These women have picked me up and cheered me on through it all. They have made me who I am today."
"Gamma Phi has given me women to laugh with, cry with, cheer me on, and be there for me during all of my highs and lows. I never thought I would find this many genuine souls in one place, and I can’t imagine my life without being able to call this place home!"
"Joining Gamma Phi Beta has been the best decision I have made. I have met some of the most genuine, loving, and smartest girls I know. They have taught me that it is always okay to be myself and that if you surround yourself with the people you want to be like, you will become like them."
"Gamma Phi Beta has taught me that it’s never too late to be exactly who you want to be. I am so lucky to be able to call this place home."
