ARIZONA Members of Arizona Beta Reunion Arizona Betas from the pledge class of 1981 recently reunited for a weekend of fun and friendship. Ten women gathered at the ranch home of Arizona Beta PAM CANTERBURY LANNAN in Pinetop, Arizona. The women enjoyed celebrating their 35 years of Pi Phi sisterhood. Arrowhead-West Phoenix, Arizona, Alumnae Club The Arrowhead-West Phoenix, Arizona, Alumnae Club installed a Little Free Library in a neighborhood park. The library is filled with books for children and adults and special Pi Phi bookmarks. Its exterior is even painted wine and silver blue. The club also provided a wine and silver blue bench for readers to rest on while choosing their books.
CALIFORNIA Pi Phi Chance Encounter "I’ve always known one of the many benefits of Pi Phi membership is the network of sisters that grows with you," said California Kappa JENNIFER PROTSMAN. "What I didn’t know is that I would work in the heart of Silicon Valley at a technology startup, Thumbtack, alongside three sisters. We formed an instant bond because of Pi Phi, and that bond provides us with a built-in support system in a fast-paced environment. We lean on each other and consult one another during stressful or hard-to-navigate situations as well as celebrate wins — all for a common mission. It's amazing how a great company culture like the one here at Thumbtack can attract so many like-minded people, especially other Pi Phi sisters."
