PI BETA PHI

Founded 151 years ago on April 28, 1867, Pi Beta Phi was the first national college sorority of women to be created after the men's Greek fraternity. There are now well over 200 chapters since it's founding all over the U.S. and Canada!

Regarded as the first women's fraternity known nationally, Pi Beta Phi began with 12 students of Monmouth College. These women wished to enjoy benefits collegiate men did, so they started the secret society. Initially, the name chosen was I.C. Sorosis and the motto was Pi Beta Phi, and later, the official name changed to Pi Beta Phi.

Pi Beta Phi has numerous philanthropy programs. As for the educational and cultural side, Pi Beta Phi Settlement School was opened back in 1912 in a rural area to provide health care, economic opportunity and education. Arrowcraft Shop also was opened to provide local craftspeople with a place to sell their products. There are then four literacy philanthropies Pi Beta Phi is affiliated with, and they are: Arrow in the Arctic, Champions Are Readers, Read Across America and First Book.
