The First Mixer for the Babies!

February 28, 2010

Last night we had a mixer with SAE. It was an America themed and at F&M's. It was a lot of fun and the costumes were so funny. Some girls dressed up as hippies, Miley Cyrus, Miss America, housewives or just red, white and blue. This was one of the babies first events and I know they were having fun! They had such creative costumes and were able to meet more and more of the older girls. Everyone looked great and the boys had an awesome time!

Volunteering to Help Haiti

February 28, 2010

Some early risers were able to get up and help out at a water station in a race held to raise funds to go towards rebuilding in Haiti after the devastating effects of the earthquake. Senior Kirsten Lyerly was among the volunteers able to come and help out at the water station. As a senior, she is among the first to come back to Tulane as a freshman after Hurricane Katrina and knows how natural disasters can be so devastating to not only the city but its residents as well. She wanted to help the Haitians recover, inspired by the reconstruction and rebirth of New Orleans.

Pi Phis get decked out in quintessential American garb for the third annual America-themed mixer with SAE. Costumes ranged from George Washington and Uncle Sam, to an American housewife and even a Beanie Baby!

All Tied Up!

February 19, 2010


What a night for Pi Beta Phi! To kick off the new semester we had a tie date party where sisters had to secretly set up a man for their girls. Searching for the fella's tie we soon were on our way to the Uptown Frat House where everyone had put on their dancing shoes. Dates and sisters alike could be seen chatting it up, dancing the night away, or just relaxing on the couches. When the night was through and our feet (and heels) had had enough we hopped on the buses back to Tulane. Staying classy and fabulous, Piphis always know how to have a good time!

Pi Phi's My Tie Date Party

February 19, 2010

Pi Phis have a fun play on the regular date party. At the My Tie date party, Pi Phis set up their sisters with a date, not telling them who the date is, but giving her his tie to wear to the party so that the date can find her and the party. Many had fun playing matchmaker for their sisters and were eager to find out who their own dates were for the party.

Political Science Guest Lecturer Alex Frenier

February 18, 2010

Today, Alex Frenier from the University of Leipzing gave a compelling lecture to present his findings on transnational corporations and security governance in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. He was able to engage in discussion with Pi Phis interested in political science and encouraged us to visit the International Studies Conference being held in New Orleans at this time. It was interesting to see what kind of research opportunities a political science major can participate in after graduating.

Pi Phis Mardi Pardi!

February 16, 2010

Mardi Gras is one of those times where not only do students from Tulane get together for pretty much a week straight, but its the one time of year that both the city of New Orleans and the student body can come together for the greatest celebration I have ever experienced. It could be the beads in the air, the pigs roasting, or the masks on the people on the floats that makes this time so unique. The colors represent the true exciting spirit of this time of year that could never be replaced. Once Tuesday hits, the countdown begins for next years Mardi Gras, and that is truly special.
