FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Indiana Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi Sorority has established an endowed award fund in celebration its 130th year at Franklin College. The fund provides monetary gifts for qualified students in the organization.
Eligible applicants must be initiated members of Pi Beta Phi, who are in good standing with the college and who uphold the fraternity’s core values: integrity, commitment, personal and intellectual growth, philanthropic service and sincere friendship.
