Our Roots

Impressed by the University of Georgia and its potential for growth, the 1938 Asheville Convention unanimously voted to establish the Georgia Alpha Chapter. In September 1938, eight Pi Phis transferred to the university to recruit and establish the new chapter, and Georgia Alpha was officially installed in 1939 by past Grand President Amy Burnham Onken, Illinois Epsilon. Installation took place at the Georgian Hotel just off campus in downtown Athens, Georgia.

Creating Homes that Last

A Chapter House Improvement Program (CHIP) Fund allows chapter alumnae to make tax-deductible contributions in support of their chapter facility to fund qualified educational projects and expenses. From refreshed living areas to upgraded study rooms, CHIP Funds support both a premier housing experience and the members who call these spaces home.
