GREENFEST 2013

Team Pi Beta Phi

What the f*6K is Greenfest?

Greenfest is SDSU‟s annual week-long

awareness event that promotes “going green”

as well as sustainability!

It‟s 2013 ladies, if you aren‟t aware that we are

hurting our beautiful mother earth you are

living in the past…

But Greenfest is a fun, energetic atmosphere

that brings our student body together for a

great cause; our own planet we call home!

Why are we competing?

Pi Phi has chosen to compete in Greenfest for

the second time… ever! (Pathetic right?)

Not only will be reflect beautifully on our

chapter, but it will be a great eye-opening

experience for YOU to how important this

issue is to our lives, our children‟s lives, and

our grandchildren‟s lives!

Let‟s take it back a few steps…

Most importantly, we are competing in Greenfestbecause we have what it takes to come together as a team and win this competition fair and square…

In the meantime, we will bond and form memories that will last a lifetime!!

Sure, you think it‟s fun not remembering your weekends and dancing like a sloppy mess at a frat… but these are the events that will make you realize why you joined Pi Phi in the first place and realize how fucking cool our school is and how little we take the opportunity to take advantage of what our school has to offer

But I don‟t have time…

Nay ladies, you DO have time

to participate in Greenfest!

There are only three main

competitions along with smaller

events to attend worth TONS of

points

If you only participate in 1

competition, you will receive full

points for Greenfest

participation from Sadie

Not only will YOU benefit by

receiving points, but it will help

US as a team reach our goal of

WINNING this whole thing!!!!
