Fraternity Day of Service is a day that is most important to all Pi Phi Chapters. The Ohio Kappa Chapter decided to celebrate this day by going to Barnes and Nobel in a local area to read Dr. Seuss books to children as they came and went for the evening. They also had the opportunity to create a voucher, which could be used to buy a book or order one online, and a portion of each book sold with the voucher would be donated to First Book. With such a large chapter there was a huge turn out of girls to read to children. About fifty girls were there!!

The kids loved that the Cat in the Hat was there as well. Of course they all wanted to be read to by him! Another fun activity the kids got to do was decorate bookplates that would be placed in books and donated.

To advertise for the event the members of Pi Phi handed out flyers to other student organizations and it was broadcasted on Kiss 107.1. The alumnae were also invited to partake in this wonderful service!

The Ohio Kappa of Pi Beta Phi wants to make this a tradition in the future. Headquarters was so proud of the chapter, as they sent a couple of emails saying that it was such an innovative idea, and especially great for such a new chapter!

Congratulations on a job well done ladies!

Murder at the Pi Phi House!

What do you get when you put a bunch of sorority sisters in a basement for an evening a bonding? Why a murder of course! The Ohio Kappa Chapter of Pi Beta Phi decided to put together a murder mystery dinner theater for their sisterhood one Friday night.

Kenzie Austin, Pi Phi’s President, was unfortunately the one murdered when she was putting on a party for some of her fellow sisters. When the sheriff showed up everyone was questioned including attendees such as Brittany Spears, Helga, and the Mayor. Upon asking many questions to the guests at Kenzie’s party everyone guessed it was no one other than Helga. When she finally confessed, it was quite dramatic!

Great job on your acting skills ladies!! A fun time was had by all!!

Cincinnati Dance Marathon

The Ohio Kappa Chapter of Pi Beta Phi had so much fun participating in Cincinnati Dance Marathon this past weekend.

Here is Jordan Kravitz story:

At 12:38PM on Sunday February 27, 2011 I can honestly say I had never had been in so much pain in my life. However, every muscle ache I had was completely worth it. I had just spent the past 24 hours dancing, jumping, and yelling at the Cincinnati Dance Marathon (CDM).

The goal of CDM is to create and sustain special projects to provide emotional and financial support for patients and families treated at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. This year over 600 students signed up to participate and as a whole 23,000 dollars was raised!!!

Pi Beta Phi teamed up with our homecoming partner Alpha Tau Omega to raise an outstanding 5,500 dollars. We also were the top fundraising team!

Throughout the 24 hours, we danced to hip-hop, classic rock, boy bands, and salsa. We had a "rave" with black lights and glow sticks and Skyline Chili showed up at 2:00AM to rejuvenate our mind, body, and stomachs. Student Representatives from Victoria’s Secret PINK and BCBG came and raffled away prizes. There was a limbo contest and a beach hour. There was also always basketball, volleyball, and video games to play!           

However, I think the most important part of the night was when we took a break in dancing to hear from 18 families. These 18 families spoke of how Cincinnati Children's hospital had or currently was helping them and their children. It was amazing to see exactly whom the money we raised would help.

Overall, it was amazing experience. Even with sore feet, I positively can say, 100 percent I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Ready for CDM!
