Traveling Tift Cutie Pies

The Traveling Tift Cutie Pies originated in 2012 when five Tift friends reconnected and decided to get together each month for lunch and fun. The pictures posted afterwards on Facebook caught the attention of other Tift College Alumnae who expressed an interest in joining them and thus, in February 2021 Shelia Wade Keener’73 formed the Traveling Tift Cutie pies with their own Facebook page and with the purpose of promoting the legacy of Tift College and alumnae sisterhood throughout the state of Georgia by sponsoring luncheons and other social events during the year. Their first big project was the publication of a Tift Cookbook.  The proceeds were used to establish the Tift Legacy Exhibit located in the Conley Building in cooperation with the Monroe County Historical Society.  The Tift Legacy Exhibit is filled with memorabilia from Alumnae and honors bestowed Tift graduates. Traveling Tift Cutie Pies host Bessie Tift Girls Speak quarterly at our exhibit featuring Tift Girls who have become authors, doctors, motivational speakers, have expertise in the agricultural realm, and collectors.  These talks are open to the public as well as Open Houses in collaboration with the Monroe County Historical Society.
