Our sensational sister of the week is.......

LAUREN AUERBACH!!!!


Hometown:  Irvine, California

Year: Sophomore

Major: Criminology

What are your hobbies/interests? I really enjoy running at the gym and Irish Dancing...anything to keep me active.  I also love to curl up with a good book, watch movies, and baking, not cooking :)

What’s your dream job? My dream job is to work in the FBI as an intelligence analyst

When and why did you join Gamma Phi Beta? I joined Gamma Phi my freshman year in 2008.  I knew Gamma Phi was the house for me after I met my grandbig, Ashley the first day :) Also at the end of recruitment, the only song that I could remember was Forever, so I figured it was a sign.

Describe Gamma Phi Beta in three words: dependable, enthusiastic, friendly

Talk about one of your favorite Gamma Phi Beta memories: My favorite memory was definitely Big Sis Reveal.  I was beyond excited to find out who my Big Sis was and to be welcomed into our once tiny, yet now rapidly growing family, who I've become incredibly close to <3

You graduate tomorrow. What will you miss most about being an undergraduate Gamma Phi Beta? I will miss the little, random moments that bring you close to your sisters.  Moments like, watching the Bachelor after meeting on Mondays with girls in the house, or running errands at a shady 24 hour Walmart with a sister, or even just having girls around that you can trust for advice.  These are the moments that bring people close, and I'm so thankful I've had the chance to experience so many of them!

What’s your dream job? I’ve always wanted to have my own clothing store or go into marketing.

When and why did you join Gamma Phi Beta?

Talk about one of your favorite Gamma Phi Beta memories.  One of my favorite memories was the Big Sis reveal.  It was really fun to see everyone so excited and happy to find out who their big sis was. 

You graduate tomorrow.   What will you miss most about being an undergraduate Gamma Phi Beta? I would miss being able to see my sisters on a daily basis and all the fun times I’ve had with them.  I’d also miss all the random moments that turned into great memories.

Sister of the Week Feb. 8 - 15

The wonderful sister of the week for Feb. 8th - 15th is.....

Riley McLens!!!!!!

Hometown: Alameda, CA

Year: Sophomore

Major: I’m undecided right now, but at the end of the quarter I will be
declaring Political Science and Criminology, Law and Society

What are your hobbies/interests? I enjoy reading, baking, watching
movies, hanging out with my sisters!

What’s your dream job? I want to work for the DA’s office as a lawyer.

When and why did you join Gamma Phi Beta? I joined Gamma Phi Beta fall
of my Freshman year (last fall). I went through during formal recruitment,
and I just found a connection with the girls that I talked to. I thought
that Gamma Phi was down to earth and I didn’t feel like I had to put on a
front; I could be comfortable being myself.

Describe Gamma Phi Beta in three words. Classy, encouraging and amazing

Talk about one of your favorite Gamma Phi Beta memories. The first
thing that came to mind was Retreat this past summer. We rented a house in
Hermosa on the Beach. It was amazing getting to know some of the girls
that I hadn’t had a chance to really talk to before. It is experiences
like that which really make me feel like a part of the sisterhood.

You graduate tomorrow. What will you miss most about being an
undergraduate Gamma Phi Beta? I’m going to miss all of the random times
hanging out and seeing my sisters. It is nice to see my sisters at random
points in the day. Even though UCI is a smaller campus compared to some,
it can seem a little overwhelming at times. Its nice to be able to see a
familiar face walking on Ring Road or in a class and it makes the campus
seem a lot smaller. :)

Sister of the Week!

As a new addition to the blog, there will be a Gamma Phi Beta sister chosen at random every week and spotlighted in their own post. This gives everyone (parents, alumni, and actives) a chance to get to know the wonderful ladies here at Delta Eta even better.

Enjoy and check back next week!

Without further ado the Sister of the Week for Feb. 1 - Feb. 8 is......

You graduate tomorrow. What will you miss most about being an undergraduate Gamma Phi Beta?

-Graduation tomorrow? Yay! HahaJ What I would miss most about being an undergraduate Gamma Phi Beta would be being on campus and always knowing there is a sister nearby to grab a bite to eat or just chit-chat with.
