The thought of starting a Sisterhood that was geared towards Filipina culture, issues and history started in early 2001. While the interest was high, there was not enough time amongst those interested to actually come together and found the Ates. So as time passed the idea slowly became part of a memory...

Thankfully, the dream was reborn four years later and has finally come together. The Sisterhood known as Pi Nu Iota was officially founded in Spring 2005.

The care and dedication to found this group has materialized into a movement that will unite and bond Filipina Sisters together in the efforts to discover our strength as women and to provide for our younger Sisters a place to grow. Not just grow individually but also to gain a foothold in the university system and introduce each Sister into a culturally founded environment that will strengthen their knowledge and participation in Filipina culture.
