Our chapter’s philanthropy is Pie Social which supports the local Eugene branch of Start Making a Reader Today (SMART). SMART is a non-profit organization which pairs K-3rd grade students with reading mentors. Every spring we open our house to the campus and community for our Pie Social. The event features all-you-can-eat pie, a pie-eating contest, a performance by the men’s a cappella group On The Rocks, and everyone’s favorite: Pie-A-Pi-Phi! In 2007 we raised $4,000 to benefit SMART and help then in their cause for literacy!

“Please know that I applaud your effort and deeply appreciate it. You have so much to be proud of. You have helped bring the magic of SMART to many children.” – Liz Degner, Area Manager SMART South Valley
