The North Carolina Triangle Alumnae Club hosted its third annual Holiday Heritage Tea at The Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill, NC on December 13, 2009. The afternoon was filled tasting new teas, sampling sweet and savory treats and socializing with sisters.

Philanthropy and Literacy was the theme of the event and there was a fun corresponding program for the attendees. The Pi Phis were arranged into teams, with a team captain, and then participated in a Pi Beta Phi Literacy Timeline “Scramble”

Each team captain was given a list of dates and scrambled Pi Beta Phi literacy initiatives. The women were asked to match-up the literacy program with the correct date. After the team captains presented their answers the entire group discussed the dates with the matching initiative. It was an interactive way to highlight Pi Beta Phi’s commitment to literacy. For almost 100 years, Pi Bet Phis have been helping children and families read. It is an incredible feat and one that continues to grow. The literacy timeline was pulled from the Pi Beta Phi website and the Fraternity Heritage Manual: Arrows, Angels and Admiration.

The tea was a lovely event. The women enjoyed the Pi Phi Fellowship and it was nice time to reflect on Pi Beta Phi’s dedication to literacy and it’s almost century of innovative programs.
