Bringing Some Luck to Founder's Day


On November 11, 2011 (11-11-11), Gamma Phi Beta celebrated their first Founder’s Day Celebration here at Virginia Tech. Many alumnae came into the area from all over to celebrate our sororities’ achievements and to pay tribute to our four founders who are the reason for the existence of Gamma Phi and why we are all here today. All members came together to share a nice meal and to reflect on our sisterhood. We all came together on what seemed to be the “luckiest day”.  It’s such a coincidence that our founders day fell on this date because we have been a chapter for 137 years which also adds up to be 11, weird? The weekend didn’t stop with just our Founder’s Day celebration. Gamma Phi Beta also held a recruitment workshop and our semi-formals the next day. With the perfect venue, German Club Manor, and a weekend full of sisterhood, nothing could have made the weekend any better. The manor couldn’t have been anymore gorgeous and everyone really enjoyed dancing the night away under the lights. All of the girls and their dates had a fantastic time and said it was good to have a nice break and event with their sisters before Thanksgiving break.
