Frequently Asked Questions

A traveling consultant is a recently graduated Pi Beta Phi member who has given outstanding service to their chapter and campus. Their primary role is to visit collegiate chapters across North America and usually visit between 12-15 chapters each term. Traveling consultants have an increased focus on fostering sustainable growth through innovative recruitment techniques and training, and ensuring our chapters thrive in attracting and recruiting members. 
 
Consultants will gain expertise in areas of recruitment, member experience, chapter operations and more. They also have a wealth of knowledge, ideas and experience gained from interaction with other chapters. 

Resident consultants live in the same town as the chapter they are supporting and provide continuous support to one chapter to establish a strong foundation for future growth and success. They help our newest Pi Phi chapters accomplish goals and establish each chapter’s brand, foundation and traditions.  

Resident consultants at first-year chapters will be part of the establishing recruitment process and  charter members to join a new chapter. They will also serve as leaders of that chapter, coordinating the New Member Education Program, planning sisterhood events, preparing the members for Initiation, meeting with Panhellenic and staff on campus, organizing the LNC process, and eventually training and mentoring the chapter’s first Executive Council.  

Resident consultants placed at second year chapters oversee and manage the chapter’s officers. They typically meet with all leaders of the chapter each week and assist them in understanding and carrying out their responsibilities. They also form relationships with Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC) members and on-campus staff throughout the year and often act as a liaison between the chapter, the Regional Team, Headquarters and the campus.
