Dear Potential New Members,

My name is Calli Pasternack, and I have the privilege of serving as President of the Beta Rho chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi at Elon University. As you begin this process, I hope you take a moment to recognize how special this time truly is. It is the start of something that can shape your college experience in ways you cannot yet imagine. Alpha Epsilon Phi is one of the newest sororities on our campus, but what we have built in such a short time is incredibly strong, genuine, and full of life. We are growing at a rapid pace, not just in size but in the depth of our connections, our leadership, and our shared sense of purpose. There is something so meaningful about being part of a chapter that is still writing its story, where every member plays a role in shaping the culture and legacy we are creating together.

The women in this chapter are some of my very best friends. They are the people who have supported me, challenged me, and celebrated me in ways I will carry with me forever. When I look at them, I do not just see my college friends. I see the girls who will stand beside me as my bridesmaids one day, and that means everything to me. This community has shown me what it looks like to be surrounded by people who truly want the best for you, who lift you up on your hardest days, and who make the best days even brighter. As you go through recruitment, I hope you find a place where you feel that same sense of excitement and belonging. A place that feels like home in a way that is both grounding and inspiring. Wherever you end up, trust that you deserve friendships that are real, lasting, and full of love.

With love, Calli
