Local Women’s Group Wins
Prestigious Award
PHOENIX – July 17, 2013 – The Phoenix Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi® recently received the Fraternity’s
highest and most prestigious honor, the Premier Club Award. Pi Beta Phi alumnae
clubs promote and support Fraternity philanthropic endeavors, assist collegiate
chapters and offer friendship to new graduates and alumnae. One club, among more than 300, is chosen each year as a
representative of performance that is exemplary above all others.
The
Phoenix Alumnae Club consistently improves its programs and events to provide
engaging, fun opportunities for its members, many of whom are working and
volunteering full time. The Club supports three major literacy projects: it
donated 600 books and 60 bookcases to homes completed by Central Arizona
Habitat for Humanity; it supported UMOM Day Centers with donations of sporting
equipment, canned goods, books, games and toys; and it partnered with the
Arizona Beta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Arizona State University to host a
Champions are Readers® reading enrichment program in a local third-grade classroom.

Phoenix Alumnae Club has a large impact in its local community and provides
friendship and leadership opportunities for hundreds of Pi Phis in the Phoenix

its philanthropic service and communication efforts have been extraordinary
over the last year. We congratulate the club on all its hard work and its constant
support of the Fraternity at large.”
