One hundred years ago today, February 20, 1912, was a very special day in the Greek-letter world. The Pi Beta Phi Settlement School opened in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Pi Beta Phi became the first women’s fraternity to have its own philanthropy. To read more about the women behind the Settlement School, read Fran Becque's latest blog entry:http://wp.me/p1CHDg-62

One of the missions of Pi Beta Phi is to enrich lives through community service. Service and philanthropy give members a chance to serve their communities through a variety of opportunities. By giving of our time, money and self, NV Alpha reveals ourselves as true angels. Pi Beta Phi has been committed to education and literacy since the founding of the Settlement School in 1910.
