Editing Pi Beta Phi (section)

=== Name change and NPC membership ===
At the 1882 convention, the society officially adopted its motto as well as the fraternity colors of wine and silver blue. It began to use Greek letters as its name six years later, in 1888, when the name was changed from I. C. Sorosis to Pi Beta Phi. In 1893, with the number of alumnae members growing, the fraternity organized a national alumnae department. Cooperation among women's fraternities and sororities was formalized in 1902 with the founding of the National Panhellenic Conference, of which Pi Beta Phi was a founding member.<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Panhellenic Conference {{!}} Pi Beta Phi History |url=https://history.pibetaphi.org/exhibits/national-panhellenic-conference |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=history.pibetaphi.org}}</ref> Meanwhile, chapter expansion continued, and in 1908 the fraternity's first Canadian chapter was established at the [[University of Toronto]].<ref name="Baird's Manual Online" />

The fraternity's first philanthropy, [[Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts|Pi Beta Phi Settlement School]], was organized in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in 1912. In 1913, the fraternity created local Alumnae Advisory Committees to support its chapters individually. Central Office, the fraternity headquarters, was established in 1925.

In the 1960s, [[G. William Domhoff]], writing in ''[[Who Rules America?]]'', listed Pi Beta Phi as one of "the four or five sororities with nationwide prestige."<ref>{{cite book|title=[[Who Rules America?]]|last=Domhoff|first=G.
