Welcome back!

All of the in-house chapter members are officially moved in and we are all getting ready for classes to begin tomorrow. All of the new additions to the house are so excited to live here for the first time.. It is hard to believe that summer has passed and we are entering school-mode again, but I think we all agree that we wouldn't want to be anywhere else. 

Farewell Seniors! We'll miss you!

At our Senior Farewell Dinner in April, complete with a delicious meal from our chef, Carol, it was seemingly unreal that the seniors were graduating. Now that the seniors have officially graduated (CONGRATS!), it has sunk in that they will not be there when the rest of Pi Phi returns in August. While we could not possibly miss them more, we are confident that they will all visit more frequently than not, and we know that they are moving on to great jobs or other great schools. 

Nevertheless, WE WILL MISS YOU ALL!

Sisters Only Zumba Lesson

Yesterday as a "Sisters Only" event, we hosted a local Zumba teacher in our house to lead anyone who wanted to participate in a Zumba class. Everyone started out a little hesitant, but by the second song we all couldn't care less about how ridiculous we might have looked. It was so much fun that we are thinking about hosting the same teacher again next month or at least in the very near future! Who knew working out could be so fun?!

Pi Day!

Pi Phi's VP Philanthropy worked really hard through the entire Spring Semester to plan an all-day Pi Day extravaganza on March 14. It differed slightly from Pi Phi's typical annual Pi Day events. In addition to the "Pie a Pi Phi" event where passersby could donate $2 towards our national philanthropy and then (gently) throw a whipped-cream pie in the face of their favorite Pi Phi, people could also donate $3 and receive a raffle ticket to be entered to win a bakery-made apple cake. We also sold t-shirts for the event, which were a huge hit around the entire Lehigh campus, Greeks and non-Greeks alike. Pi Phi met and exceeded their monetary goal and the entire campus got involved and really enjoyed one of the first nice days of Spring!

Happy New Year!

Looking back on 2011, PA Kappa's members pledged to do many things. Among those was, "to always be there for a sister in need," "to uphold all the values of Pi Beta Phi" and "to promote on campus involvement and event attendance". Additionally, Pi Phis became more educated with the "Green" bulletin board with facts about how to conserve energy and water. You might say this came in handy because Pi Phi won the Greek house week long competition to see which chapter could use the least amount of energy.

We are looking forward to an equally great 2012!

Adopt-a-Family

Pi Phi was so excited to take part in Adopt-a-Family at Donegan Elementary School in Bethlehem. We adopted a family of six after raising money to buy them tons of gifts just in time for the holiday season. It was a humbling moment for all who participated on that day and we can't wait to participate again next winter!
