Centennial Celebration

This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the establishment of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In celebration of this great accomplishment, and to honor the Fraternity’s past 100 years of philanthropic service, Pi Beta Phi will be hosting a celebration in Gatlinburg November 2–3, 2012. A new Centennial Plaza will be dedicated with a historical marker and statue, adjacent to the site of the Arrowcraft shop and just steps away from Pi Beta Phi Elementary School. 

I am really looking forward to this celebration and hope to see lots of our Region 2 alumnae there!

Pi Beta Phi Celebrates Founders' Day

In 1867, 12 Monmouth College students wished to enjoy the benefits of a secret society similar to those formed by collegiate men. On April 28, 1867, I.C. Sorosis was formed. More than 140 years later, those 12 women have touched the lives of more than 241,000 members across North America and have set the stage for a premier organization for women. See the Founders' Day video and share it with your Pi Phi sisters.

Little Rock Alumnae Club - Fraternity Day of Service

The Little Rock Alumnae Club celebrated Dr. Seuss's Birthday, March 2 by taking books, drinks, and smiley face cookies to the Fair park Early Childhood Center. The club members read Dr. Seuss and other books to the classes and played games with them. All children and teachers were dressed in pajamas for Dr. Seuss's birthday. The club donated 60 books to their library. The books were brought by alumnae to their annual Christmas Mother/Daughter holiday party. This is a preschool that the Little Rock School District operates at no cost to parents. It is for four year olds. We read to seven classes of children.
