New Collegiate Chapter

Pi Beta Phi is proud to announce its 134th collegiate chapter at the University of Cincinnati.

Three National Panhellenic Conference organizations were invited to compete for the opportunity to start a chapter on campus, and Pi Beta Phi was chosen to colonize.

The Ohio Kappa Chapter will participate in formal recruitment in the fall.

Special thanks to all who participated in the extension process!

Founders' Day Celebration

Pi Beta Phi's Lowcountry alumnae club recently gathered at the home of member Mae Tavernetti. Located in the heart of South Carolina's sea islands, Mae's home was a picturesque setting for this celebration.

Members enjoyed a salad and dessert luncheon. During the business meeting the 2009-2010 club officers were installed, Golden Arrows were recognized, and Pi Phi's founders were honored.

Founders' Day - Conway, Arkansas

Pi Beta Phis in Conway, Arkansas celebrated Founders' Day at Mike's Place

Alumnae club member Lisa Crafton supplied gourmet cupcakes from her bakery. Susie Walker shared, "the cupcakes were divine. I got the "Elvis Presley" - a peanut butter and banana creation and managed to sample others too".

Club members honored the founders and it was fitting to have club member Dr. Lindsey Bell recite the name of Jennie Nicol, M.D.

Dinner was adjourned in time for everyone to rush home to watch American Idol and vote for Conway's own Kris Allen!
