The sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon and Pi Beta Phi welcome you to join them in a charity dog wash!  All proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Biscuits and Bath, a local business specializing in pet care, will have two washers and a veterinarian present to provide grooming services.  They have locations on the Upper West Side, in Murray Hill, Tribeca, and Greenwich Village.  You can visit them online at www.biscuitsandbath.com.  The alpha chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority raises an average of $5000 a year for The American Cancer Society.  In 2007, hundreds of those dollars were raised at their first dog wash.  Join Pi Beta Phi and Delta Phi Epsilon in supporting the American Cancer Society's efforts in providing cancer research and resources to those affected.

Pi Phi's Day of Service

Monday, March 2nd
Pi Phi will be tabling in Kimmel 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Pi Beta Phi is partnering with First Book for this project. First Book is an award winning non profit organization whose sole mission is to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. Pi Phi has been partnered with them since 2007.

At the table you can decorate book plates. Each book plate will have a place for the decorator's name, a drawing and a space for the name of the child who receives the book. The book plates, once decorated, will be sent back to First Book, who will put each book plate on the front cover of a book they will then donate to a child. It's a fantastic cause, so come by and decorate a book plate or two!!

Check out a few book plate examples at:

For more information, please contact Pi Phi's Vice President of Philanthropy, Kristin Zemke - krz205@nyu.edu
