I’m not sure what day it is, and frankly, at some points in the day, I can’t recall the year, but being at the Pi Beta Phi Leadership Institute has been the highlight of my summer. Pi Phi’s convention is in the odd-numbered year and I have been green with envy viewing the social media of my GLO friends. And while this is not a convention, it is more than enough to fill my Pi Phi cup.
This is the second Pi Beta Phi Leadership Institute. Both have been held at Washington University in St. Louis, about 10 miles from Pi Phi’s HQ. This year, there are two sessions. The focus is not on learning about the fraternity, but more on helping the women learn the steps to making the impossible the inevitable as they chart the road to their futures.

The incomparable Erin Fischer (right) is the guiding light and her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. She inspires the women.
How could I not resist taking a morning walk through this gate and the neighborhood?
A morning walk through campus and a look at some of the Washington University fraternity houses.
A shout out to the best Halo Huddle!
