Members of the Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumnae met in the home of Casey Williams for a joint meeting. They brought children’s books for various community organizations as the two groups share a focus on literacy as a national philanthropy.
Hostesses were Williams, Susan Drake, Kathy Brown, Whitney Moss and Katie Treadwell, Kappa members. This is an annual event and the groups trade hostess duties.
There were Pi Phi arrow cookies and Kappa key cookies for the guests. Napkins and cups had the logo of “Monmouth Duo” since both groups were founded in Monmouth, Ill.
