The society awarded Bethany Raybourn, a senior English major from West Monroe, a certificate of merit.

Dr. Dolliann Margaret Hurtig serves as Pi Delta Phi’s faculty adviser. Harold Campbell, a senior French major from Gibsland, is president, and Mary Margaret Gilbert, a graduate English student from Shreveport, is vice president.

The initiation included a song program led by Sawyer Halbrook, a graduate English student from Pineville, and Sean Richardson, a senior music major from Urania, and was followed by a reception.
