Let’s have a Critical Conversation

Critical Conversations® is Pi Beta Phi's risk prevention education programming supporting our member development program. Its comprehensive approach educates members on topics such as alcohol and other substance use, mental health, sexual assault, bullying, personal safety, accountability and more while integrating Pi Phi values. The program offers a wide variety of tools and resources, addressing the unique needs of our members and their support systems and engaging them in the prevention-education process. 

Through engagement in Critical Conversations, members will be:

  • More informed on the threats and consequences associated with risky behaviors.
  • Empowered to prevent and confront risky behaviors while reinforcing Pi Phi’s core value of Sincere Friendship.
  • Equipped to have caring conversations with peers about risky behaviors and health concerns.
