New Member Experience

When women join Gamma Phi Beta, they are considered new members. During this time, they complete Fidelity for New Members, an educational program designed to increase engagement and cultivate sisterhood. The program includes both online and in-person activities.

New member education lasts four weeks and prepares new members for Initiation into Gamma Phi Beta. The following is a short description of what she’ll learn and do each week of Fidelity for New Members.
