Pi Beta Phi - Oklahoma State University

Arrow Talk PAGE 6 Oklahoma Beta Remains Committed to Sisterhood, Philanthropy and Involvement A Stellar Start to Spring College Weekend On January 19-21, the Pi Phi Executive Council attended College Weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. It was a transformative weekend as they learned more about their leadership roles and were able to bond as a team. "Attending College Weekend allowed me to not only build deeper relationships with the Oklahoma Beta Executive Council but also allowed me to connect with Pi Phis across the nation," said Kenna Lake '22, Vice President Community Relations. "College Weekend is a memory that I will treasure for the rest of my life!" Philanthropy Oklahoma Beta is planning our first philanthropy of the semester, Pie a Pi Phi. Funds will go toward the Pi Beta Phi Literacy Fund, which supports Read > Lead > Achieve ® . This initiative will help create a more literate society through the power of reading.
