CONVENTION 2021 TO BE HELD VIRTUALLY Grand Council has made the decision to move Convention 2021 to a virtual format, with no in-person meeting, following a critical look at the ability of the Fraternity to offer a premier convention experience while addressing unique challenges presented by COVID-19. Pi Beta Phi’s 73rd biennial Convention will make history as our first-ever virtual convention— presenting some extraordinary opportunities, including the ability to engage far more members in this once-a-biennium sisterhood celebration!

WELCOME, FLORIDA ETA Earlier this year, Pi Beta Phi was invited to establish a chapter at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. Resident Leadership Development Consultants CHRISTIANA HOLLADAY, Colorado Gamma, and SARAH MOORE, South Carolina Alpha, led in the establishment of the chapter through a mostly virtual recruitment process. The Florida Eta Chapter will be installed in late March as Pi Phi’s 135th active chapter.
