Philanthropy &
Social Service
Stronger Women
Through Service to Others
Philanthropic involvement is extremely
important to Pi Beta Phi members across the
Country. Nationally, Pi Beta Phi places
emphasis on literacy as a cornerstone to
education and personal development.
Here at USC, we participate in
numerous charitable events throughout the
year, and hold two major philanthropy events
of our own:
-
Arrowspike is our annual Fall
volleyball tournament, and raised over
$18,000 this year for the Scott
Carter Foundation, which funds
children’s cancer research. Arrowspike
is everyone’s favorite day. Girls are
paired up to be team captains of all of
the fraternities and try hard to cheer
their teams on to victory. Last year’s
tournament also included a performance
by Rick Springfield!

“After a
year of organizing and
participating in many
philanthropic events for Pi Phi,
I cannot even begin to describe
how amazing it is to watch how
one united group can truly make
a difference.”
