Pi Beta Phi

Life in the Pi Beta Phi Mansion

Once again the Fall season brings the ladies of 1518 the joy of another year in our gorgeous chapter house. Across the street from campus, and two short blocks from downtown 13th Street, this house has seen almost 100 years of pi phi angels. Built for the Pi Phi’s of 1915, the house gets a mini face-lift each summer supervised by a group of extraordinary alumni. We all look forward to the most recent additions to our home and the chance to show it all off to the newest potential members during Fall Formal Recruitment! In addition to housing 53 of our members, our historic house on Kincaid street is home to our beloved house mother Charlotte. More than any of the remodeling surprises, we cannot wait to see her smiling face as we begin another year of success and sisterhood!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish…Silver Blue Fish?

Each year, the highlight of a pi phi’s philanthropic calendar is the annual Pi Social event. Hosted in at our chapter house, the entire community is invited to an all-you-can eat pie buffet, the pie a pi-phi booth, a few friendly competitions, and a performance by our university a capella group, On the Rocks. We begin preparation at least a year in advance and the event always ends with smiles, whipped cream pies, and the satisfaction of another event well done! All of our proceeds benefit our national philanthropic cause, Literacy. Specifically, we support the First Book Foundation whose goal is to provide children with their first book who otherwise could not afford to purchase a book at all. Nothing builds sisterhood quiet like building a brighter future for children! Won’t you join us next year?

Go Ducks! Go Pi Phi!

Football season at the Pi Beta Phi Mansion calls to mind the smell of fall leaves, front porch group pictures in our duck gear, and walks to Autzen stadium with pi phi sisters. Last year, our sisters from all over the PAC-12 came to visit us when their teams came over to play the Ducks. Even though our game day attire reflected opposite teams, the bond of sisterhood lasts long after the fourth quarter! We look forward to the upcoming Duck football season, cheering for our UO Dance Team sisters during half time, and claiming those tailgating spots for pre-game barbeques. See you at Autzen stadium!
