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!
