In these tough economic times Pi Phi’s can use all the help we can get to find a job or get career advice. Help a sister out by completing the Dallas Pi Phi Career Directory Form.
Responses will be compiled to create an electronic career directory that will be distributed to graduating Pi Phi seniors at SMU, TCU and UNT. The directory will also be available to all DFW Pi Phis. Forms must be completed before Monday, October 19, 2009 to be included. The sooner the better!

The Gift of Leadership
During the Pi Beta Phi 67th Biennial Convention the Dallas Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi was pleased to present a copy of The Gift of Leadership: How to Relight the Volunteer Spirit in the 21st Century by keynote speaker, Mark Levin to the 300 convention voting delegates. The club underwrote the book in honor of the new Pi Beta Phi Grand President, Mary Tatum, a member of the Dallas Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi.
Dallas Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi received a letter of thanks from Grand President, Mary Loy Tatum stating:
The Fraternity thanks you so much for underwriting the book The Gift of Leadership that was given as a “gift” to the alumnae delegates after Mark Levin’s keynote address at convention. This underwriting was very generous of you and was appreciated a great deal by all.
If you’re interested in reading the book that was donated, you can purchase it online at amazon.com: The Gift of Leadership: How to Relight the Volunteer Spirit in the 21st Century
