Event Cancelled: Day at the Races Feb 2nd

Sadly, we did not get enough people attending to enable us to hold the event this Saturday. 

If you pre-paid, Heather will be mailing you a refund check in the coming week.

We will hold the event next Spring and hope to get enough in attendance then.

Happy Birthday February Angels!

Wishing all Angels celebrating birthdays in February all the best in the coming year!

Phoenix Panhellenic Association Outreach Event

The Outreach Committee would like three women to share their Greek experience at the afternoon Outreach Event on April 7.  Three women would speak about their sorority experience and how it has impacted their lives.  The five minute testimony of each women representing a different age group:  recent college graduate (20 - 30 years old), established career woman (40-50 years old), and retired sister (60+ years old) would allow the attendees to connect with the different life stages of Greek life.  Please pass this email along to your individual chapters. Interested individuals email me at aimee.e.nelson@gmail.com.

I am looking forward to getting to know some of our Panhellenic women and their "Go Greek" stories!

Thank you,

Aimee Nelson

CAR Program Explained

Champions are Readers (CAR) Program

Pi Beta Phi's unique program, Champions are Readers (CAR) is a month long reading program for third-grad elementary students. CAR was designed to encourage students to develop daily reading habits and to provide Fraternity
members with an easy-to-implement program encouraging literacy. 

For our local CAR program, the Phoenix Alumnae Club purchased leveled books for readers
from Ohio State University.   Third graders at Creighton Elementary will receive a new book each session to read with an alumnae club volunteer or Arizona Beta collegiate. By the end of the program, each student will have eight books to add to his/her home library.  In addition, the alumnae club is providing each student with a special book bag, and a writing journal.

Won't you consider getting involved in the important community outreach program?
