MEET PI BETA PHI

Pi Beta Phi was founded on April 28, 1867, at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois. Our 12 founders had the vision to form the first secret society for women patterned after men’s groups at a time when only five state universities admitted women. These courageous women set the stage for a thriving organization continuing to enrich the lives of many during their collegiate years and beyond. Read > Lead > Achieve® is Pi Beta Phi’s philanthropic effort, which can unlock true potential by creating a more literate and productive society. We believe reading always has been – and always will be – a powerful step toward a life enduring impact. When one out of four children cannot read, that is one too many. We host Pi Phi Gives You Wings, a Redbull sponsored philanthropy event for students on UD’s campus, and Read > Lead > Achieve® week to promote literacy within the Newark Community. The Delaware Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi values sincere friendship, personal and intellectual growth, lifelong commitment, honor and respect, philanthropic service to others, and integrity. We are excited for you to get to know our sisterhood and look forward to sharing our interests and values with you during recruitment!
