Sisters are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Sisterhood means accepting each sister on an individual basis, and finding the closest of friendships in doing so. Blessed are those who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of the best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self and appreciating whatever is noble and loving one another. Friendship is not a responsibility but an opportunity.

In Pi Beta Phi, we are bound with the ties of friendship that will never be broken. Because of this intangible bond, your problems, joys, and fears are not only shared with your friends, but become your friend's problems, joys, and fears too."

Sisterhood is many things. It's a warm smile on a cold and rainy day, a friendly hug, a cheerful hello…it's all that a good and lasting friendship is, only better. It's treasured. It's sacred. It's knowing that there will always be someone there for you. It's dreams shared, and goals achieved. It's counting on other and being counted on. It is real.
