Every year on or around March 2nd, thousands of Pi Beta Phi members take time to advance literacy in their communities through the annual Fraternity Day of Service. And this year is no exception! This week, Pi Beta Phi chapters and clubs across North America use their creativity and passion for literacy to raise funds and organize service projects to provide new books to children in need in their communities.
Working together with First Book, Pi Beta Phi has embarked on their third annual “Make Your Mark for Literacy” Fraternity Day of Service campaign. Pi Phi members have been hard at work decorating individual bookplates that will be placed in thousands of new books. For every bookplate decorated, one child will receive a brand-new book from First Book, toward the goal of donating 50,000 books.
