Pi Beta Phi originated at Monmouth College in 1867 as the first organization for women on a national scale. Pi Beta Phi's house at UGA was built in antebellum times by a prominent Athens land-owning family named Morten. The Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi started in Athens in 1939. Since then, the house underwent major renovations in the 1960's to accommodate the growing chapter and more recent interior renovations. Nicknamed Pi Phi, its symbol is the arrow, which is worn upright and draped over the heart to signify the loyalty sisters have toward both sisters and Pi Beta Phi ideals. On campus the girls participate in a variety of scholarly and community-related activities such as Arch Society, Order of Omega, Alternative Spring Break, ugaMIRACLE and Habitat for Humanity. Its fundraisers include its Annual Dart Tournament and "Pi Phiesta" to raise money for the Arrowmont School, First Book and the Jeannette Rankin Foundation.
