Pi Phi Giving Day

For the last 10 years, Pi Phis and friends have united on Pi Phi Giving Day to invest in the future of our sisterhood. Just like pi (3.14), the mathematical constant that gives Pi Day its nickname, Pi Phi is an infinite source of support and Sincere Friendship in the lives of our sisters. With your support, our Foundation is committed to ensuring Pi Phi remains a constant source of connection, confidence and community for generations of sisters. This year, we’re striving to raise $225,000 to power the programs our members rely on most—and every sister plays a part. Mark your calendars for March 14, 2026, and join us for a day filled with fun, friendship and support for our sisterhood!
