The month of September means it's time for Ali Kemp Bandstand! Every year Pi Phi hosts Ali Kemp Bandstand to honor Ali Kemp, a Kansas Beta sister we tragically lost in 2002. Ali's legacy is remembered in The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation (T.A.K.E.), a self-defense program created by her father, Roger. Mr. Kemp founded T.A.K.E. to prevent women from ever having to endure the same fate as Ali. He was even honored by President Obama last year for his good acts and received the prestigious Citizen Medal!

Last Thursday the T.A.K.E. self-defense class came to the K-State Rec Center to teach us how to protect ourselves. We had the opportunity to learn defense techniques that can be applied in scary real-world situations. After the class, we all headed to the Wareham Opera House for a benefit concert featuring Manhattan's very own Jared Daniels Band! Pi Phi provided free Mr. Goodcents subs to all concert attendees. Such a fun and touching night, remembering a sister and arming ourselves with self-defense!
