2024 Executive Council
About Us
President | Abbie Orndoff
Hometown: Mercer Island, Washington
Major: Accounting and Finance
Why Gphi: Moving to Texas, starting college, and enrolling in formal recruitment I had no idea what life would look like within the next couple of months let alone the next several years. The women of Gamma Phi always stood out to me for the genuine authentic connections they shared. It was not until preference round that I realized I never wanted to leave that environment, that’s when I knew there was no other home for me. The environment of support, friendship, and love that I first witnessed two years ago and that I now get to see within our sisterhood every single day is something I never knew I needed but now I cannot imagine life without. While I still might not know what the next several years may hold I do know that the people in this house will be there along the way.

Why Gphi: My deep-rooted love for our sisterhood stems from the great sense of belonging and purpose it offers. Choosing Gamma Phi Beta wasn't just about joining a sorority; it was about joining a sisterhood that values authenticity, empowers women, and fosters personal growth. Every member is celebrated for her unique strengths and contributions, and I feel that within every friendship I have formed as a Gamma Phi. Through my role, I have the privilege of guiding new members on their journey to discovering the same enriching experiences that have made Gamma Phi Beta a cornerstone of my college experience. From the bonds of sisterhood to the opportunities for leadership and service, Gamma Phi Beta continues to inspire and uplift me, shaping me into a better leader and person every day.

Administrative Vice President | Ellie Kone
Hometown: San Jose, California
Major: Finance and Management
Why Gphi: The second I stepped foot in that Gamma Phi Beta house during recruitment, it just felt right - like I finally found my people. The good vibes and genuine smiles from the sisters instantly put me at ease. I didn't have to be anyone but my true self around them, which is honestly pretty rare to find in college. We just clicked. With every conversation, it became so obvious that these were the kind of down-to-earth, caring, fun-loving girls I wanted to surround myself with. Gamma Phi is so much more than just a sorority to me - it's a home away from home filled with bright, supportive women who bring out the best in me. My sisters keep me grounded but also push me to grow in the best way possible. We've formed an inseparable bond and made so many amazing memories already that I know these friendships will last forever. Choosing Gamma Phi Beta was one of the easiest and best decisions I've ever made.
Panhellenic Vice President | Annalise Leavey
Hometown: Dana Point, California
Major: Graphic Design with a French Minor
Why Gphi: From the moment I walked through GPhi’s doors during recruitment, I instantly felt comfortable while talking to the girls. Being in a whole new state without knowing many people was so intimidating! I was missing home and searching for a sisterhood that I could belong to. The girls in GPhi were so genuine and open that I instantly felt connected with them and knew it was the place for me. I never felt as though I couldn’t be myself when I was with these girls, and I know the friendships I’ve made here will last a lifetime. This sorority has instilled so much confidence, resilience, and kindness into my life, and without it, I would have never been inspired to take on a leadership role. I’m so proud to be part of such a strong and devoted sisterhood, and can’t wait to see where GPhi takes me.
