When you're with her, you’re home
Pi Phi chapter facilities are where friendships take root, leaders find their voice and sisterhood shines across generations. From memories made over shared meals to the built-in support from late-night study sessions and knowing your sisters are there in both the big and small moments, living in a chapter facility creates a sense of home and belonging within every wall.

Vida H. Peene was one of Toronto’s most influential volunteer leaders and cultural advocates of the mid-twentieth century, dedicating decades to building and supporting the city’s arts and civic institutions. She played significant leadership roles in numerous arts, education and cultural organizations throughout the city. During World War II, Vida served as Assistant Commandant of the Food Administration Section of the Canadian Red Cross, overseeing services supporting nursing personnel and wartime relief efforts while also chairing salvage and war-work campaigns.
In 1964, her contributions to Toronto’s cultural life were recognized with the Civic Award of Merit for distinguished service to the City of Toronto and the Central Drama League Award. Vida was appointed to the Board of Management of the O’Keefe Centre from 1968 to 1970 by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Council. She holds the distinction of being the first person in Canada to represent the arts at all three levels of government. Vida was awarded the Centennial Medal in 1967 and the Order of Canada in 1970 in honor of her lasting contributions to Canadian cultural life.
