Christmas TeaAngels at the Arboretum was a huge success as many came to see hundreds of angels on display at the DeGolyer Estate.

Pictures With Santaat the Texas Beta House

The Junior Day Group’s “Pictures with Santa” event was a huge success this year! Many thanks to Ashley Gray and Gina Murphy for organizing and executing the event.

This is always a highlight for our members with young children and it is a great fundraiser for the Junior Day Group!

New York Theater TourThe October 2012 Theater trip was enjoyed by all travelers, many of whom have traveled with us before, but we also had lots of new faces. The group stayed at the New York Palace Hotel, which is located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, and is mere steps from Fifth Avenue boutiques, Broadway theaters, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. They saw four fabulous shows: Motown, Kinky Boots, Pippin, and Matilda.

Literacy and National Day of Service

Pi Beta Phi Champions Are Readers (CAR) program is a month-long reading enrichment program for students designed to supplement reading activities that schools already provide. Volunteers read to West Dallas Community School 4th graders for 4 Thursdays in February. The children received 2 new books and bookplates for their participation. A party was held on the last day. Thanks to all who volunteered their time for these students!

Dallas Alumnae Club is proud to continue the tradition of Pi Beta Phi’s philanthropy to improve literacy across America.

Pi Beta Phi is partnered with First Book, an international nonprofit organization founded in 1992 with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books.

First Book and Pi Beta Phi are committed to bringing new books to children from low-income families in communities across the United States and Canada.

Volunteers presented 500 books to Carver Elementary School in West Dallas.
