The History of the Winnipeg Area, Manitoba, Alumnae Club
The chapter was founded in 1930, just prior to the Great Depression and the war years. Members supported the forces overseas through various events and fundraisers. A great flooding of the Red River occurred in 1950, an event that disrupted the community. Many Pi Phis learned how to fill and stack sand bags for the dikes to stop the river from flooding further.
Philanthropic Service
Manitoba Alpha Pi Beta Phis have volunteered their time to the Arrow in the Arctic event and to Arrowmont in their fundraising efforts.
