An important tradition for the Pennsylvania Gamma
Chapter at Dickinson College is the annual trip to
Founder ROSA MOORE’S grave during the New
Member Education Program. While at the cemetery,
the chapter places roses on Rosa’s gravestone and senior
sisters recount their favorite Pi Phi memories. From

Each year, the Virginia Eta Chapter at the University
of Richmond celebrates Bid Day at the Pi Beta Phi
cottage with music, dancing and gifts. The
celebration is followed by a sisterhood event that
changes each year. After this year’s Bid Day, the
chapter spent the afternoon bowling and bonding
with their New Members.
Virginia Theta’s favorite tradition and celebration
is Bid Day. This year, the chapter at Washington &
Lee University planned a Mardi Gras-themed event,
complete with beads, giant balloons and photo props.
The celebration included introductions, singing,
pictures, dancing and a pizza dinner. The night
culminated with another one of their favorite
traditions — a Cookie Shine!
The day New Members are introduced to their big
sisters is a special celebration for the West Virginia
Alpha Chapter at West Virginia University. Sisters
spend the day bonding and taking photos. A popular
destination is Cooper’s Rock, a state park 10 miles from
campus. From center clockwise, West Virginia Alphas
