Last year, the Alpharetta Pi Phis help Pi Phi
and the community by donating money to First Book to give books
to children in need, the Pi Phi Foundation to provide assistance
for collegians and alumna, and Holt House and Arrowmont.
We also donated money from our change collection every meeting

First Book. Money was also donated to Drake House from
proceeds from the Wine and Blue Fundraiser.
