Gamma Phi Get-Together
On September 24, 1875, Gamma Phi Beta’s four Founders first met “in the room kindly furnished by Professor Brown,” whose namesake we draw our colors of brown and light brown (mode). To honor the sisterhood experienced that day that has continued for almost 150 years, we invite you to Gamma Phi Get-Together from September 23-30, 2023.
WHAT IS THE GAMMA PHI GET-TOGETHER?
The idea is simple – get with a sister or several and do something fun on or around September 24! As pairs or groups of sisters join together, let’s celebrate the connection we have as Gamma Phi Betas. By coming together, we can show just how far our bond reaches – across collegiate chapter, distance, generations and more.
Check the open events below to see if an event is already taking place in your area. Looking for an opportunity to reconnect with sisters from college, set up a Zoom call! Do you have a group of sisters you meet up with often? See if they want to gather for a private Gamma Phi Get-Together. As events are registered, they will be added to the section below.
BE PREPARED WITH FIRST MOON NAPA VALLEY
All Gamma Phi Get-Together hosts will receive a discount code good for any First Moon Napa Valley wine purchase. Use this code to stock up for your Get-Together or to personally celebrate an event well planned! First Moon Napa Valley is the only wine brand designed exclusively for the Gamma Phi Beta sisterhood and 20% of all proceeds are given back to our Sorority.
