Pi Phi Bowties 2013



For the second consecutive year, the Pi Phis kicked off the month of March with a philanthropy benefiting literacy.  In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, our Pi Phi Bowties pasta dinner was held at the House of Pi, and raised over $1,300 for Read.Lead.Achieve!   This year the angels also sacrificed themselves to give participants the option to 'Pie a Pi Phi,' which also turned out to be a great success! We're excited to continue the tradition next year and support literacy!
