150TH ANNIVERSARY GIFTS
The Kansas Association of Pi Beta Phi (House Corporation) Board and the 150th Anniversary Steering Committee announced
three projects honoring our chapter's 150th anniversary.
150th ANNIVERSARY PROJECTS
$400,000 fundraising goal ACHIEVED!
1. Enlarged the front circle of the chapter house to make it more accessible. This included adding a stone retaining wall in the front and a refreshed landscape.
​
2. Installed a custom iron handrail at the center of the chapter's front stairs, featuring tasteful bronze arrows and "Pi Beta Phi" in Greek letters.
Our sincere thanks to the Johnson/Ferguson/Rathbone family members for their generous gift:
Kay Rathbone Johnson ('58), Jackie Johnson ('82), Jordan Ferguson Lisher ('04), Hilary Ferguson Postlethwaite ('08), Molly Rathbone Maxwell ('87), and Susanna Rathbone Jones ('97)
3. Restored the Pi Phi Bench on the KU campus. The bench was a gift to the university in 1923, when Kansas Alpha celebrated its 50th anniversary. It's located near Blake Hall, south of Fraser Hall.
Many thanks to Mike Kimbell and Kay Kimbell Almanza for their gift in memory of their mother, Sharon Lynch Kimbell ('57).
