Jan Moore Angel Award Recipients
The Jan Moore Angel Award is presented annually to a Phoenix Alumnae Club member whose involvement and dedication to the club goes far beyond the expectations of a member or officer. The award is inspired by long-time club member Jan Moore, an Arizona Alpha initiated in 1944. Since her initiation, Jan embodied ideals of the Founders in all that she did, both inside and outside of Pi Beta Phi. She worked tirelessly on behalf of the Phoenix Alumnae Club, mentored countless sisters, and held numerous local and national offices and committee positions. Jan’s efforts to spread the true spirit of Pi Phi were remarkable and are remembered by all who crossed her path. We are honored to present this award each year to a woman who exhibits Jan’s passion, dedication and enthusiasm. While there was only one Jan Moore, we are thrilled to find others who are also true angels!
