Pi Phi Loves Lilly and Literacy!

Just a few weeks ago, the sisters of Pi Beta Phi brought Lilly Pulitzer to the Pi Phi house, and to Oak Lane. This year was the third annual Lilly Pulitzer sale hosted by Pi Beta Phi!

The purpose of having the sale (aside from helping the Greek community find new formal dresses and date function attire, of course) is to raise money for our philanthropy, which is literacy! We are able to get 15% of the money from sold merchandise to give to our philanthropy, so it's like percentage nights at restaurants, which a lot of organizations do to raise money.

We absolutely love our philanthropy and love that we are able to have our big philanthropy in the fall, and have the Lilly sale in the spring to raise even more money for literacy, and our national partner, First Book.

First Book is an organization that puts a first book in the hands of children in need. We are proud to announce that we raised $1,800 for First Book this year!

Thank you to everyone in the Greek community who came out to the Pi Phi house for the Third Annual Lilly Pulitzer sale!
