Sister Spotlight: Delia Riggi

My name is Delia Riggi, I am a junior in the PA Kappa chapter of Pi Beta Phi and my story is a little out of the ordinary. I was a member of the varsity swim team my freshman and sophomore year and that is where I found my niche. I had some friends in school but the majority of my social connections were teammates of mine. In the beginning of sophomore year I realized that swimming was not for me and I decided to leave the team in hopes of a better lifestyle outside of Division 1 athletics. While my roommates had practice and dinner every day from 4-8 I was left to fend for myself but luckily a fellow Pi Phi took me under her wing and invited me to hang out at the house more often. I have never felt such love and support from a group of young ladies in my life. These Pi Phis were some of the nicest most genuine people I have encountered at Lehigh. From ski team adventures with a sophomore in the house to the most spirited intramural competitors there is never a dull moment at Pi Phi. I could not image myself continuing with swimming and missing out on the opportunity to meet the most down to earth girls on the hill.
