Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate Nearing Completion
Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate to be dedicated Sept. 21.
It’s getting close! Since 2009, more than $1 million has been raised toward the construction of the Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate, which will be dedicated Sept. 21 at the University of Arkansas. Please save the date and plan to be a part of this special day for the Pi Phi sorority and for the YOU of A.
The Centennial Gate is being constructed on Maple Street at the former Campus Drive near Memorial Hall, the former Student Union, near the Old Main entrance. Once finished, it will be 120 feet long and 30 feet tall in the middle, and will be constructed of limestone, native Arkansas stones and wrought iron. The design highlights the University of Arkansas insignia with Pi Phi’s Greek letters beneath it. On each pillar, the Pi Phi crest will be etched into limestone accompanying university information on the right column and the lead Pi Phi benefactors listed on the left.
There are naming opportunities still available. Bricks can be reserved and named for $1,000 each. Please print and complete this gift card and return to the following address. The deadline is June 30.
