Happy Founders' Day
Dear Pi Phi friend,
We all lead busy lives with many demands for our time through our commitments and obligations to our families, work, church, friends and much more. However, within these demands lie opportunities. Opportunities to grow as individuals, learn from others and lead by example for our children.
Within our alumnae organizations and through our Fraternity, we also offer our members many wonderful opportunities — develop friendships with other Pi Phis, serve in leadership positions, develop personal and intellectual growth and make a difference in the lives of many others in our communities through philanthropic service.
Just as our founders formed a special bond and shared their dedication and passion with others in April 1867, we too can continue their efforts by choosing to be active members of Pi Beta Phi today and throughout our lifetime.
How can you get involved and become an active member of Pi Beta Phi? How can you get others involved and what more can you do for the Fraternity? It may be as easy as paying your alumnae dues, writing a RIF for a graduating senior preparing for fall recruitment or reaching out to a Pi Phi sister in need. Maybe you join the efforts of your alumnae organization and invite a friend to attend one of the upcoming events with you or serve as an AAC or CHC officer for the local collegiate chapter or as a Fraternity or alumnae organization officer. Big or small, there are many opportunities for us to become active members of Pi Beta Phi. Just imagine if each of us, all 136,291 alumnae members, were active and shared the passion of our founders; collectively, we could make a huge difference in our communities and in the lives of so many others! I encourage you to make time in your busy lives and become an active member of Pi Beta Phi today.
Please join me in honoring our founders and all Pi Phis who continue to live the core values of our Fraternity each day as lifelong committed members of Pi Beta Phi.
In Pi Phi,
Cindy Rice Svec
Grand Vice President Alumnae
