Balfour Cup

Arkansas Alpha won the Balfour Cup for a second year in a row. Check out this wonderful article for more information.

How did Arkansas alumnae help celebrate? The Little Rock alumnae club created a fun and festive way to attend the Balfour presentation. They chartered the "Balfour Bus" & trekked 3 1/2 hours from Little Rock to Fayetteville!

Congratulations Arkansas Alpha!

"Adopting" a Collegiate Chapter

A key topic of the summer leadership summit was collegiate support. How do you support collegians if you don't have a chapter nearby?

Regional Director Sande Ullman collaborated with Collegiate Regional Directors to provide a list of of chapters that do not have a local alumnae club nearby. If your club is looking for a chapter to adopt, these chapters would benefit the most from your support.

Contact information for the chapters can be found on the Pi Phi Web site in the Members Only section. Please contact Sande Schweier Ullman, Alumnae Regional Director, if you have any questions (ard2@pibetaphi.org).
