Fun and Friendship


Angels, get your wings on…and soar back to 1967! This was the year for “The Graduate,” Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night,” fishnets, miniskirts and platform soles – and the year this Paradise Valley home was built. Make a date with Sgt. Pepper and join us for a groovy tribute to a much simpler time complete with pop hits, nibbles and beverages all with a mod nod to the era. Come in cocktail attire or appropriately inspired 1967 wear for a chance to win best dressed. This evening will take us back in time and is sure to be a memorable occasion!

FBR Open PGA Golf Tournament

Philanthropy Event


Be a part of the greatest show on the grass!

Over the last 13 years, the Phoenix Panhellenic Association has given over $300,000 in collegiate and continuing education scholarships. During that time, 24 Pi Phis have been grateful recipients. Panhellenic needs the support of our alumnae club to continue this wonderful scholarship program. The funds used for the scholarships are raised solely by volunteering at the FBR Open. Volunteer to work a shift (or several!). In return for your sweat equity (primarily six-hour shifts in concessions), you will be provided with a complimentary pass that can be used to attend every day of the Open. Bring friends and family to work along with you (non-Greeks are welcome to participate and represent Pi Phi). For more information regarding the scholarship program, visit www.phoenixpanhellenic.org and be sure to check out the fun at www.fbropen.com. For more information about volunteering and sign-up sheets, contact our Panhellenic delegate or alternate.
