100th Celebration of the Revitalization

The Pi Lambda Phi International Executive Council, the governing body of the Fraternity announced will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Revitalization. 2009 will mark the centennial celebration.
Pi Lambda Phi was founded in 1895 at Yale University. In 1895, the concepts envisioned by the Founders Werner, Levy, and Fisher spread quickly - Principles are very easy to discuss, they are difficult to practice and live. By 1901 the initial movement had dried up.
In 1906, an unsuccessful attempt was made to revitalize Pi Lambda Phi at Columbia University. Finally, in 1908 an attempt began to take hold. The refounders finally found success in 1909. The refounders at Columbia were an extremely dedicated group of leaders who were responsible for the success of the movement.
To celebrate the millennial of the revitalization the International Fraternity and Foundation will host alumni events throughout the US and Canada. April 18, 2009 will mark a banquet celebrating 100 years since the revitalization and 114 years of the Fraternity.
The 100th Anniversary of the Revitalization will mark a significant milestone for the future of the Fraternity. Pi Lambda Phi has shown tremendous growth as a greater number of this generation are able to connect with the ideals and principles. The Foundation has made major efforts to connect alumni and grow all aspects of Pi Lambda Phi. |
