Congrats to Pi Phis!

Today Lilly Pulitzer announced the latest sororities that are getting a special Lily print, and Pi Beta Phi was among them! This may not be Wyoming Alpha specific, but it is exciting nonetheless!

MLK Day of Service

Today, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there was a day of community service at the Laramie Plains Civic Center. There were 7 members who came out and did their part while proudly wearing the letters of Pi Beta Phi. The women participated in several different philanthropic activities, such as volunteering for the soup kitchen, helping out with Big Brothers Big Sisters, and helping to fix up the Civic Center itself. There was also a march later in the day. It is always wonderful to have our members participate in things aiding the community, and to give the community a positive image of our chapter whilst dong so!

Aid From the Community

This past year, there has been a huge pile of rocks in our parking lot waiting to be dealt with. Today was the day to finally shovel all of them out. What was so amazing about today, was how much help we received. Pi Phi got a lot of help from family members of one of our actives (one of whom supplied a Bobcat), the gentlemen of Alpha Tau Omega (who supplied extra shovels and a dump truck), Brenden Cline from Pi Kappa Phi, Jim Meyer from SAE, and the president of KKG, Rachel Caarlsgard. Not only did many of our own members pitch in, but these awesome community members all showed up around 9 am on a Saturday, just to lend a hand! We all enjoyed hot chocolate and snacks after the work was finished.

Welcome back, and to this blog!

Hello, all! I've started this blog as a way for Pi Phi actives, alumnae, and parents to have just one more way to check on what is going on in our chapter.

Today is the first day of classes for the Spring 2012 semester. Not only that, but it is Chapter Loyalty Day! The girls are all wearing letters or are dressed to the pin in celebration. There is much to look forward to this semester. We have a fabulous new executive team, that has already begun collaborating, forming new goals, and working together on new projects. Also, Spring recruitment begins in just a few weeks!

As exciting things happen in our chapter, I will update this blog. Be sure to check it!
