Local Philanthropy
Arrow Games: Arrow Games is a week-long football tournament that benefits our local YMCA and Links to Literacy. This year, the week consisted of a football tournament held on campus, and evenings filled with activities including an ice cream feed, fraternity door chants, and coach lip synchs. We also joined with Sigma Alpha Epsilon to host a clothing drive benefitting the University YMCA.

International Philanthropies Literacy
Arrowmont: Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts began in 1912 as a Settlement School and brought education, economic development and health care to rural Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Pi Phi members were instrumental in promoting the academic and industrial enrichment to area children. Today, Arrowmont is an internationally known visual arts complex, boasting a renowned faculty and international student body, while offering courses that augment public school art programs. Champions Are Readers: The CAR Literacy Program is designed to serve as a national/international literacy program that all Pi Beta Phi alumnae clubs and collegiate chapters can conduct easily. Targeting children in the 3rd grade who are at a critical juncture in developing both good reading skills and a life-long love of reading, CAR supplements reading activities already being provided in the schools and provides an easy-to-administer program for teachers. Arrow In The Arctic: Pi Phi's Canadian philanthropy provides support for the many branches of the library systems in Whitehorse, Yukon and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Philanthropy funds are used to purchase "talking" books and videos in English and Inuit, the native language of the Northwest Territories. Reference books, tapes and other audiovisual equipment have also provided for educational programming. |
