Where Do My Alumnae Dues Go?
Paying your annual alumnae dues is a heartfelt reflection of your Lifelong Commitment, investing in not only in the programs and experiences that define Pi Beta Phi but also in every sister who wears the golden arrow. The simple act of paying your alumnae dues can make a difference, and understanding your impact makes it even more meaningful to give back. Below, we’ve highlighted just some of the many ways your alumnae dues strengthen the sisterhood we love most.
1.) Funding for The Arrow®
Alumnae dues help fund expenses for The Arrow, Pi Phi’s beloved magazine featuring Fraternity news, chapter and club updates and impactful member stories. These expenses can include printing, distribution and more. Producing The Arrow allows Pi Beta Phi to not only stay connected with its members but also highlight the incredible sisters who inspire us!
2.) Operational costs
Paying your annual alumnae dues helps maintain critical, everyday functions of the Fraternity. Operational needs such as salaries, accounting and travel fees are just as essential to sustaining a strong sisterhood for generations to come.
3.) Training for volunteers and staff
Our volunteers and staff light the way forward for Pi Phi through their leadership, guidance and mentorship. Equipping them with the necessary training and resources to thrive in their roles builds the confidence and passion they need to successfully support our sisterhood.
4.) Pi Beta Phi events
Pi Phi events are some of the most cherished experiences of our sisterhood, and your dues help us both sustain and enhance these opportunities. Each gathering offers something unique—whether it be leadership development, personal growth and lasting friendships—leaving sisters inspired to make a meaningful impact in their chapters, communities and the world at large.
5.) Archives
As Pi Phis, we cherish the traditions and values at the heart of our sisterhood. Your alumnae dues allow us to preserve our archives with care, ensuring the memories, stories and milestones we treasure most endure for generations to come.
6.) Technology advancements
To ensure efficient operations and clear communication to our members, Pi Beta Phi must continuously advance our technological systems. In a fast-paced and ever-evolving society, this helps us stay relevant and connected to our members.
Giving back to our sisterhood in any way is an expression of gratitude for what Pi Phi has given you. Paying your annual alumnae dues is less about what you receive in return, rather what we can do together as sisters. Pay your dues today and explore all the other ways to light the way forward for our sisterhood.
