University to Dedicate Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate
The University of Arkansas community is invited to attend the dedication of the Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21. The gate is located on Maple Street at the intersection of the former Campus Drive near Memorial Hall. Since 2009, more than $1 million has been raised toward the project.
The Pi Beta Phi Steering Committee for this effort includes Julia Peck Mobley (B.S.E. 1965) of Texarkana, Karen Kennedy Morton (B.A. 1976) of Springdale, Patty Shelton Pyle (B.S.E. 1972) of Little Rock, and Marilynn Moseley Porter (B.S.E. 1975) of Little Rock.
The mission of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women is to promote friendship, develop women of intellect and integrity, cultivate leadership potential and enrich lives through community service. The University of Arkansas chapter, Arkansas Alpha, has been recognized campuswide for academic excellence and community engagement.
