Pi Beta Phi was founded on April 28, 1867, at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois. c/o www.pibetaphi.org

The 12 founders had a vision to form the first national secret society for women at a time when only five state universities admitted women. Pi Beta Phi distinguishes itself in the Greek world by leading the way as one of the first of seven founding members of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an umbrella organization for 26 international women’s fraternities and sororities. Pi Beta Phi was also the first organization to form an alumnae department in 1893, the first to organize a national philanthropic project in 1910 and the first to establish an alumnae advisory committee for each chapter in 1913. The founders of Pi Beta Phi created the Fraternity to cultivate sincere friendship, establish real-life objectives and promote happiness. Pi Beta Phi continues to encourage young women to develop meaningful relationships as they reach for their personal goals. Membership in Pi Beta Phi and the relationships it yields help sisters adapt to college life by providing a sense of belonging, mutual support and guidance.

Congratulations to our long-time LJAC member Laura Jarman Farrar (CA Eta, UCI), who is the 2025 international recipient of the Evelyn Peters Kyle Angel Award for Public Service! This award recognizes the alumna who has best served her alumnae club by performing those duties that often go unrecognized but enhance the success of the club. Laura has supported the LJAC as well as the CA Kappa active chapter (UCSD) in many, many ways during her twenty years as an alumna. Those of us who know her understand how deserving she is of this great honor and are truly thrilled for her. Thank you, Laura, for your years of service.
