Happy Founders' Day, Pi Beta Phi!

Pi Beta Phi was founded 135 years ago today. We made our official debut when our 12 founders marched into a chapel service wearing golden arrow badges in their hair. What an impressive image! I'm so proud to be a Pi Beta Phi alumna. Our ideals mean more to me with each passing year. Happy Founders' Day to all my Pi Phi sisters around the world!

Pi Phi love and mine,
Silverblue

Happy founders day to all my sisters of the wine and blue! Our luncheon today was so sad! All of our seniors officially became Alumnae, and they will be sorely missed.

PPL,

Jess

How cool! I didn't realize Pi Phi and Kappa both made their debuts that way!

Yep. We Monmouth Duo women had founders with a flair for the dramatic. Can't you just see them all marching in a row, with arrows and keys adorning their updos?

Oh, girls

This Saturday I spent a lovely brunch in a hotel banquet room on the water with Pi Phi's from SDSU and alumna from chapters all over the country! Two women received their diamond arrows, commemorating 75 years of membership! It was amazing to share the Pi Phi memories of "panty raids, serenades, house pranks, and meetings with their future fraternity husbands." In fact, some of the alums had met every week for I believe 40 years to play bridge! We also heard of generations of legacies and pins that were passed down from relatives who pledged before the turn of the century! Many collegiates teared up. It was a sight to behold so many generations with solidarity stemming from the same bonds of wine and blue that we celebrate each day of our lives. Sisters, take this time to smile and hold your head a little higher. You are a Pi Beta Phi.

Pi Phi love and mine,
pbpck
