Our Roots

The Arizona Beta Chapter was installed on May 1, 1965, when 29 new members were initiated into Pi Beta Phi by past Grand President Alice Weber Mansfield (Johnson). The installation weekend was held at the Camelback Inn and included a celebratory “Lift Off” themed banquet and the presentation of several gifts, including an arrow plaque and a crest mosaic, to the new chapter. The weekend concluded with a church service and a reception welcoming university leaders, faculty and families to celebrate the chapter’s beginning.

Supporting Sisters’ Dreams

Chapter-specific scholarship funds support collegiate chapter members as they pursue their academic dreams and professional goals. By giving to a scholarship fund, donors can directly impact their own chapter sisters and open doors that might not have been possible otherwise.

Building Leaders Who Shine

Chapter Leadership Education Expendable (CLEE) funds directly empower our sisters’ leadership journeys, helping eliminate financial barriers to leadership development opportunities for both chapter leaders and individual members. Giving to a CLEE fund allows donors to support the chapters they love while lighting the way for future leaders.
