Why us:
We’ve connected with each other many times early this year and in doing so we realized that we both have the same passion and ambition to contribute to the organization and get members better connected.
Coming from diverse backgrounds, we really understand how empathy plays a big role in every team and organization. We see the importance of emphasizing on the humanity of our fellow Phi Beta Kappa members as we do our best to build long lasting connections. Thus, we look forward to getting to know you more, EACH of you, through our upcoming events and future interactions. During and after college, both of us successfully organized numerous events, which has made us experienced event planners. We believe that with our interpersonal skills, passion, and dedication to the association, we will carry over the excellency and lead the organization into greater connection and meaning for us all as we celebrate our championship.
We will continue organizing high-quality and diverse events to get our members engaged in different ways. Looking forward to your participation!

Red Door Escape Room was a hit! A great way to bond as a committee - we escaped, just 10 minutes shy of the record time for this room. Go team! If you’d like to join YP committee team bonding events like this one and are interested in being on the committee, send us a DM!
