Angels Selected to Serve

Congratulations to PC '10 members Raigan Cook, Elizabeth Hughes and Lauren Henricks for being chosen to serve on the 2012 Up 'til Dawn Executive Board!

Up 'til Dawn is a nationwide student-led, student-run program held at more than 180 colleges in which college students raise funds and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Opened in 1962 in Memphis, TN, St. Jude operates completely on donations and families receiving care are never required to pay.

Responsibilities of the Executive Board span the course of the academic year.   The main goal is to educate the college campus on the efforts of St. Jude, while raising money through a variety of activities including an all night letter-writing competition to solicit donations, and fundraising dinners.  All proceeds go toward the research hospital.  It's a wonderful way for students, faculty, and community members to come together and make St. Jude's mission possible.

We're so proud to have three Pi Phis volunteering their time for such an important cause!

Congratulations Angels!

On Wednesday May 2nd, Kansas Beta hosted our senior farewell dinner in honor of our 34 seniors.  As we say goodbye to yet another pledge class, we wish them luck in the future and remind them of the memories they've made at 1819 Todd Rd.! Members read letters of encouragement and funny childhood stories from the parents of their senior pledge mom.  In addition, each senior received a framed picture of the House of Pi and a 'placemat' with pledge class pictures and room for younger members to sign.  We also compiled pictures to create a senior video of memories that will last a lifetime.  The girls shared stories, laughter, and tears as their four years spent as a Pi Beta Phi at K-State came to an end.  It is truly a special place, and will be forever in their hearts.  Congratulations PC '08!
