Pi Phi Giving Day Was a Sweet Success!
On March 14— Pi Day—Pi Phis and friends joined together to raise $215,018.67 for our Foundation! Just like pi, the mathematical constant (3.14) that gives Pi Day its nickname, Pi Phi is a never-ending source of support and true friendship in the lives of our sisters. More than 800 sisters and friends helped make it possible for our Foundation to continue impacting lives within our sisterhood and communities.

Pi Phis Made an Impact in Austin and Across Maui
Every year in early March, Pi Phis celebrate Fraternity Day of Service by participating in literacy-related service in their communities. As part of our commitment to inspiring a lifelong love of reading, Pi Phis and friends helped to distribute more than 45,000 new books through two book distributions. The 2024 Fraternity Day of Service Signature Events included one in-person book distribution in Austin, Texas, coordinated by the Austin, Texas, Alumnae Club, and one virtual book distribution in Honolulu open to the greater Hawaii community to meet the immediate need for support following the recent devastation in Maui.
Gifts to The Literacy Fund at Pi Beta Phi Foundation are critical to the success of Pi Phi’s literacy initiatives—providing full financial support for all Read > Lead > Achieve® programs, including Fraternity Day of Service Signature Events. Because of your support, children in Austin and across the greater Maui community received 50,000 new books which will make a tremendous difference in their formative years as young learners. Your support makes it possible for children to forge a lifelong love of reading and is an example of Pi Phi’s more than 100-year commitment to furthering literacy in our communities.
