Initiation

The weekend of October 15th, the Kansas Beta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi initiated 53 new members, including one alumnae initiate. The initiation ceremony was held Friday night and Saturday morning, followed by "family" pictures, and dinner at the chapter house. The new members then had their first sleepover as official members of Pi Beta Phi. Congratulations to all new members and alumni that welcomed another family member into the Pi Phi family!

Ali Kemp Bandstand

This past week, we held our fall philanthropy, Ali Kemp Bandstand. We do this in honor of one of our members, Ali Kemp, who was tragically taken from us through a random act of violence. Every year, we hold a self defense class for women and then hold a concert afterwards for all. We had three great performers this year, including Kyle Blake, Caleb McGinn and Katelyn Epperly, a Pi Phi sister who was a top ten contestant of season 9 of American Idol. The proceeds of this philanthropy go to the T.A.K.E. Foundation, a cause started by Ali's family to promote self defense among women. Thanks to all who participated and contributed to make this event possible!
