IMPORTANT PHILANTHROPIC GIVING SURVEY COMING
Pi Phi will be participating in the 2025 Foundation for Fraternal Excellence (FFE) Survey conducted by Cygnus. Based on previous iterations of the survey conducted in 2011, 2015 and 2020, the research will generate an invaluable set of industry-wide data to establish national performance benchmarks for fundraising. The information gathered will lead to a series of strategic recommendations that all fraternities and sororities can use to strengthen their fundraising activities, enhance member engagement and generate greater support for their programs and services. Invitations to participate will be sent by Cygnus, via email, on May 29. We encourage you to participate in this survey!
PI PHIS MADE AN IMPACT IN LOUISVILLE FOR FRATERNITY DAY OF SERVICE
Every March, Pi Phis celebrate Fraternity Day of Service (FDS) by participating in literacy-related service events in their communities. As part of our commitment to inspiring a lifelong love of reading, Pi Phis and friends distributed 10,000 new books through our FDS Signature Event in Louisville, Kentucky on March 8.
Thousands of new “Stories for All” books—featuring diverse characters, cultures and identities—were given to youth-serving organizations in the local community, ensuring more children have access to stories that reflect the world around them.
Your generosity to The Literacy Fund at Pi Beta Phi Foundation is essential to the success of Pi Beta Phi’s literacy initiatives. Your support fully funds all Read > Lead > Achieve ® programs, including FDS Signature Events— providing children in our communities with the opportunity to read, learn and reach their full potential.
