In 1867, 12 courageous women founded Pi Beta Phi, enriching countless lives during collegiate years and beyond. Pi Beta Phi fosters meaningful relationships, a sense of belonging, mutual support and guidance. Our legacy of philanthropic service, innovative member programming, premier events and leadership development programs help our sisters become Friends and Leaders for Life. . . . A message from our president, I love Pi Beta Phi for so many reason and I find a new one everyday. I'm surrounded by a diverse group of women who support me, celebrate me, and love me for me. They are the reason why I am who I am today. Their laughs are contagious, their commitment to academics and philanthropy is inspiring, and fortunately, I am able to call Pi Phi my home away from home away from home. This is a beautiful and unique character, a I love every single bit of it. PPLAM, Chapter President Gracie Eckles
