College Weekend

College Weekend is a premier Fraternity leadership experience designed to educate chapter leaders and Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC) members on best practices in their area of focus. Through a variety of “Colleges” and workshop sessions, the Fraternity provides chapter leaders and advisors with the tools, knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their officer position while learning, growing and connecting with fellow leaders from chapters across North America.

Frequently Asked Questions

All Executive Council positions and AAC members are invited to attend College Weekend. Chapters may send as many attendees as they would like. Of course, there are some important considerations to keep in mind when deciding who your chapter should send.  
  1. Chapter budget. What funds are available to send a member? Registration and travel expenses are typically covered by the chapter.  
  2. Current chapter leaders. Who is likely to gain the most from the College Weekend experience and curriculum? Sending chapter officers makes the most sense for chapters hoping to get the most out of their investment.  
  3. Needs of the chapter. Which colleges (tracks) offer the most valuable information for your chapter?  

The best piece of advice: before determining whom your chapter should send to College Weekend, seek the insight of your AAC and, if needed, your Regional Team. Each chapter should participate fully in the Pi Beta Phi Officer Training Program in the Online Learning Center regardless of their participation in College Weekend. 

If a Vice President is unable to attend, one Director on their specialty team may take their place. It is recommended that an AAC member who is within their first few years serving and/or has not attended College Weekend in the past register for the event. 

Every chapter officer and Advisor attending College Weekend is required to register for a track. Chapter officers should register for the College in their specialty area. Advisors must register for the Alumnae Advisory Committee College. 

You will attend your registered “College” on Friday and Saturday. While your College should be specific to your officer position, Sunday’s workshops are open to all attendees. During registration, collegiate attendees will be asked to select their top two preferences from a list of eight workshops. Workshops will be determined on a first come, first served basis. Alumnae Advisory Committee attendees will be placed in one of three extended workshops depending on their Advisor role.  

All requests for attendee fee refunds must be made in writing to events@pibetaphi.org prior to 5 p.m. CST on December 18, 2025. Any request for registration substitution must be made in writing to events@pibetaphi.org prior to 5 p.m. CST on January 7, 2026. All substitutions must be for the same College Weekend track as the member originally registered. 

Please note, Pi Phi Headquarters is closed December 22-January 2; responses may be delayed.  

If chapter elections are not completed before the registration deadline, it is recommended the chapter’s Leadership and Nominating Committee select the member(s) they think should attend on behalf of the chapter.  

It is required for all officers to complete their training courses on the Pi Beta Phi Online Learning Center prior to attending College Weekend.
