Why did you join PIES?
At first I joined PIES because I wanted to make more Filipino friends that were in engineering. Although I accomplished that, what made me stay was how everyone was so open and welcoming and I made life long friends because of that

Favorite Pie: Banana Cream Pie
​
Why did you join PIES?
I have been in PIES since my first year (shoutout PIES seniors). I instantly felt at home with how welcoming everyone was. Compared to all the other spaces I've visited which were really clique-y and intimidating, PIES was a breath of fresh air. Every time I return I receive that same feeling every time.

Favorite Pie: Apple/Peach Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
​
Why did you join PIES?
Before I found PIES, I was looking for an organization with other engineering/STEM majors and another space for those who had a Filipino background like mine. After stumbling across PIES at EAF my freshman year, I was happy to realize that these two interests of mine could be found combined in a single club!

Favorite Pie: Peach Mango Pie

Why did you join PIES?
The PIES community has a deep appreciation for the people around them; they all genuinely want to connect with others and make newcomers feel welcome. I had no problem integrating into the space despite being on the more reserved side when I first started college. I was also drawn to the passion PIES people had for the club and their careers. Many members had the work-life balance I was looking for. Since meeting PIES, my college experience became so much brighter and more exciting. And this sentiment is what made me want to stay.

​
Favorite Pie: Apple Pie
​
Why did you join PIES?
I joined PIES because in my freshman year, I wanted to join both a STEM (or Chemistry-oriented club) and Pilipino club. Luckily at EAF, I remember hearing someone shout “Hey you! Are you Filipino?!” And I remember listening to them as they told about what PIES is. Fortunately for me, it was not only both a Pilipino and STEM org, but everyone there was also pretty chill and all the events were really fun. Best decision of my life :)
