This past Wednesday, Pi Beta Phi hosted their Pumpkin Painting with Pi Phi philanthropy event in the Stockdale Center, bringing together members of campus for a fun fall activity a few days before Halloween.
Participants enjoyed painting mini pumpkins and getting to learn a little more about Pi Phi’s national philanthropy, Read > Lead > Achieve, which aims to inspire a lifelong love of reading and create a more literate society. All proceeds from the event supported Pi Beta Phi’s Literacy Foundation Fund, where the money will be used to fund literacy initiatives all over the country.
