NATIONAL NEWS: REFLECTIONS ON PI CHAPTER'S CENTENNIAL
The Robert W. Woodruff Library, which serves the Atlanta University Center institutions, including More- house College, has expressed its plans to include the Pi Chapter History Book in its Special Collections. The frater- nity archives, the Morehouse College archives, and the U.S. Library of Con- gress are also destinations for the book. For the school's Day of Giving on May 11, 2021, the Office of Institu- tional Advancement, in coordination with the National Morehouse College Alumni Association, offered the book as a gift to Kappa Men who donated a minimum of $150.00 to the school on that day to the school's endowment fund. Also, under consideration as a gift to the school is a commemorative plaque that is a replica of the book cover. The book sales opened on April 1, 2021, which met the primary goal of providing brothers the opportunity to purchase and receive the book in time for the Pi Alumni/Morehouse Alumni Reunion Call.

Alexander (Pi 1987) and a member of the Chicago Heights (IL) Alumni Chap- ter hosted the alumni reunion call.
