PGN includes siblings, roommates, best friends, significant others, pledge families, and mentors, both formal and informal. Relationships truly do last a lifetime. As a second semester senior, I can say that PGN changed college for me. I’ve served on several committees as well as the Executive Board. As a pledge I learned about possible career paths from older members, then as an active researched these options and took classes with other members. I joined a consulting organization on the recommendation of a former President. I was given the opportunity to be a TA for Business 101. In the fall I’ll be working for a company with other PGN members and hanging out with alumni in the city. I can truly say I would not have had many opportunities throughout college without the connections I made throughout my time in Phi Gamma Nu.We want you to take the next step and become part of our fraternity. 117 people have already made the commitment to shaping their future: will you?Cara WhiteRecruitment Chair
