Pi Beta Phi and Literacy
Pi Beta Phi's commitment to literacy dates back about 100 years ago to
the founding of a school in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. From 1912-1969,
Pi Phi was solely responsible for all education in Gatlinburg.
Today, Pi Beta Phi continues the tradition of education through numerous
partnerships with foundations supporting literacy and education for
children and families.
Pi Beta Phi has national partnerships with the following foundations:
Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts
Champions Are Readers
Arrow

Fraternity Day of Service
The
Library of Congress Center for the Book

The sisters of Pi Beta Phi
at Penn State are partners with the sisters of
Sigma Delta Tau and the brothers of
Beta Sigma Beta in a philanthropy called
Cure Autism Now.
Our hard work raises money to help children with autism.
The sisters Pi Beta Phi at Penn State
are also partners with the brothers of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon to raise money for the

Marathon (THON) that takes place each February. The money
raised for THON benefits The Four Diamonds Fund which supports pediatric
cancer.
