1. GREENFEST 2013
Team Pi Beta Phi

2. 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!

3. 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!

4. Let‟s take it back a few steps…
 Most importantly, we are competing in Greenfest
because 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

5. 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

 If you only participate in 1
competition, you will receive full

rox)
