10 YEARS OF PI PHI GIVING DAY!

Mark your calendars for March 14, 2025—Pi Day—and plan to join us as we celebrate a day of fun, friendship and giving back to our sisterhood. Just like pi (3.14), the mathematical constant that represents infinity, Pi Phi is an endless source of support and true friendship in the lives of our sisters. A gift on Pi Phi Giving Day benefits the Friendship Fund, which helps us prepare members to lead, award scholarships, fund our literacy work, care for our sisters and so much more.

This year marks an extra sweet celebration as we’re honoring the 10-year anniversary of Pi Phi Giving Day! Donating on Pi Phi Giving Day is a simple yet meaningful way to live our values and fulfill our mission. As we reflect on the past decade of Pi Phi Giving Day, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future. In 2024, we raised $215,018.67 from 843 donors—help us reach our goal of $225,000 and 1,000 donors this year! Visit pibetaphi.org/ppgd to learn more.

Aly Sterling Philanthropy Update

Over the past few months, Pi Beta Phi Foundation has partnered with Aly Sterling Philanthropy (ASP) to engage in a deliberate and thoughtful review of our Foundation’s strategic plans and operations. After gathering input from the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, key stakeholders and staff from the Foundation, Fraternity and Fraternity Housing Corporation, ASP identified key priorities that will elevate fundraising strategies and position our Foundation for a bright future.
