This summer Philadelphia played host to Pi Lambda Phi’s Leadership Convention, the annual gathering of Pi Lams and subsequent validation that most other chapters are weenies.
You may remember as an undergrad, it’s not just an event; it’s an obligation! Days of exhilarating dialogue on eliminating prejudice, living the creed, and managing liability… all culminating in a presidential awards banquet — because a vice presidential awards banquet would not accurately reflect the significance of this event.
We came, we saw; we collected certificates.
Temple was well represented at the banquet by undergraduates and distinguished alumni, many of whom were recognized for their contributions to Pi Lambda Phi.
