Pi Phi Fiesta Night 2012

Sisters, husbands, and boyfriends all gathered for a fun night with the standard Mexican flair, a build-your-own-taco bar, and margaritas. Each member contributed a dish to the event, including a bean dip, seven layer dip, spanish rice, tortilla soup and some yummy desserts.

Before we started the festivities, we recognized Sandy Delmonte with her golden arrow pin for having fifty years of membership with Pi Beta Phi. Thank you for your commitment to Pi Phi, Sandy!

Panhellenic's Kentucky Derby Fundraiser

The Honolulu Alumnae Panhellenic Association (HAPA) held it's annual spring fundraiser at the Oahu Country Club on the first Saturday in May. This year's theme was "Kentucky Derby" featuring extravagant hats, a silent auction, and derby-inspired games of chance. The event was a great success and a lot of fun. Pi Beta Phi members Sandy D. and Jessica W. attended the event, along with friends.

Founder's Day 2012

The Honolulu Alumnae Club honored our founding members this weekend at our traditional Founder's Day luncheon at the Waioli Tea Room. The ladies enjoyed either a delicious curry chicken salad (the most popular item), a Manoa chicken salad, or a small quiche and salad. Lunch was followed by a light dessert from Beard Papa's.

Each Golden Arrow received a wine and silver blue yarn lei made by Kathy Ebey. We also took the time to officially recognize Diane McFaull for her fifty years of membership and present her with a Golden Arrow pin. Thank you, ladies for your lifelong commitment to Pi Beta Phi!!

Make It, Bake It Fundraiser 2011

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual "Make It, Bake It" fundraiser, especially our Panhellenic sisters from Delta Zeta and Kappa Kappa Gamma. There were some wonderful items brought to the auction, including hand-made gift boxes, poinsettias, and assorted gift baskets. Together, we raised $884 for literacy.

Cookie Shine & Pi Phi Salad

The Honolulu Alumnae Club started the new year with our traditional "Cookie Shine and Pi Phi Salad" event. Collegiates, new alumnae, and golden arrows all sat around the club's cookie shine sheet, which gets signed by participants each year it is used.

This year's cookie shine featured a gingersnap cookie recipe from Founder Inez Smith Soule herself!

Also a club tradition, sisters each brought their favorite salad ingredient and could choose which ingredients to add to create their own "Pi Phi Salad." It is always surprising how the variety of ingredients create the most delicious salads each year.

Honolulu alumnae enjoy their "Pi Phi Salads" on the lanai of Sandy's home.
