Thanks to our Denver local committee, the area alumnae, Carolyn Lesh, Martha Malsbary, our dedicated Central Office staff and all those who made this convention a reality! We could not have had a more appropriate theme than "Mountains, Mines and Memories." Our days in Denver with more than 1 ,000 Pi Phis were indeed a "mountain h igh" that both inspired us while we were there and gave us a "lift" that will last until we convene again The "memories" of being with old friends, of making new ones, of meeting outstanding chapter and club leaders , of the fun and fellowship - those memories will be with us always. As to the "mines " part of the theme, I guess my only take on that is that now we need to dig in and carry through on the plans we made when we listened to dynamiC speakers and shared exciting new ideas.
For those who are reading about this convention but were not in Denver with us, my heartfelt wish for you is that you could have been there in person to share that memorable experience. My hope for you is that you will join us in Anaheim , California onJune 20-24, 2003. When the alumnae and collegians from the Anaheim area came down the General Session aisle in Disney character costumes and presented the surprise announcement of the site location, it was very obvious by their effort and enthusiasm that the next convention will be one you do not want to miss! Join us in Anaheim as we focus on "Values and Vision n

The preparation, planning and organization required to host four days and nights of meetings, meals and entertainment is a staggering responsibility that extended to many hundreds in Denver. Convention Coordinator Carolyn Pavletich Lesh , Convention Site Coordinator Martha Sherman Malsbary, the Convention Executive Committee, together with the alumnae clubs of metro Denver worked hard to provide a memorable reunion for Pi Phis from all over North America Convention Chairman, Colorado Alpha Heidi Dake Keogh assembled a marvelous committee that included Oklahoma Beta Mary Windle Beaty, as Assistant Chairman, and Texas Delta Sarah Leffen , as Chairman for Arrangements. Heading the enormous task of Hospitality was Oklahoma Alpha Paige Anne Phelps, and her assistant Kansas Alpha Sue Schwartzburg Mills. Coordinating the hundreds of volunteers needed to assure success was Volunteers Coordinator Oklahoma Alpha Cirrelda Barnard Mills, and her assistant Colorado Delta Amy Inkell Pflaum.
Obviously, these seven women didn't do it alone l To all of the Committee Chairmen and the hundreds of local volunteers, your Fraternity says thank you and well done.

More than 1,0 00 women dressed in white may seem a little intim idating , but for honor initiate Stacy Bas inger it was a great experience Her grandmother, Louisiana Beta Faye Pierce Re id, and great aunt , Louisiana Beta Raye Pierce Nelson (her grandmother's twin sister) , are both Pi Phis , and before she was initiated, Stacy was excited to share the Pi Phi experience with her family. "It' ll be fun to have someone to do Pi Phi stuff with," Stacy says.
Stacy is now a Colorado Gamma, the chapter located at Colorado State University, her alma mater, and lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. Currently, she is a regional manager at the Colorado Farm Bureau where she is a liaison for the American Farm Bureau , Colorado Farm Bureau and 10 county farm bureaus in northern Colorado.
Stacy enjoyed attending convention and says that everyone was warm , friendly and welcoming. Even her aunt Raye 's best friend sent her a huge bouquet of flowers It is just these sort of sweet remembrances , kindnesses and support from friends and family [or which Stacy has been grateful. But she is most grateful to her grandmother. " I want to thank my grandmother for all her support and for nominating me to become a Pi Phi, " Stacy says.

The following is an excerpt from Grand President Sis Mullis ' speech honoringformer Grand President Beth van Maanen Beatty. Sis gave this tribute to Beth during the Wine Carnation Banquet on the last night of convention.
"Beth started her Pi Phi leadership at Texas Tech and she is still keeping up with her Texas Gamma friends through their round robin letters. She was Chapter President when Texas Gamma won the Balfour Cup. To my knowledge Beth is the oldest living Graduate Consultant ... yes, after graduation she served as a Resident Graduate Consultant.
Beth was elected Director of Academics, and her next office was Grand Secretary. Now I cannot make any judgment about Beth as Grand Secretary and her taking minutes , but I do 'want the minutes to show' that after Beth's two-year term, we did away with the office of Grand Secretary as a matter of fact there may be a pattern here before Beth was CPP she was Province Coordinator and we did away with that job, also.
Again I hope you already realize what Beth ' s leadership has meant to Pi Phi. But there is no way to tell you what her friendship has meant to those who have served with her. We are going to ' miss her' - I can tell you I have no intention of ' missing her. '
The following is an excerpt from Grand Vice President of Membership Kay Knittle Brock's speech honoringformer Grand Vice President of Philanthropies Lois Huston Ross. Kay also gave this tribute to Lois during the Wine Carnation Banquet the last night of convention.
"Being Grand Vice President of Philanthropies was a perfect fit for Lois She came to Grand Council with extensive work on community boards. If the Dayton community needed a philanthropy leader or a fund-raiser, they knew whom to ask. Her work on United Way, Junior League, numerous boards, including boards for the art institute , performing arts, ballet, philharmonic and the hospital prepared her for the GVPP position. Her real work began when she was elected to lead our Pi Phi philanthropies. As we are all aware , Pi Phi philanthropies lead in many directions .
But our loss will be Dayton 's gain. Lois has been named one of Dayton 's Top 10 Women. They will be glad to have you back. I am certain they will put your philanthropic work and fund-raising skills back to work. "

I was a Pi Beta Phi at Bradl ey University, Illinois Theta from 1994- 98 I have since moved onto graduate school at Boston University where I am receiving my degree in public health. I recently was in Zimbabwe for five months working with AIDS orphans and H IV positive people. There I had the opportunity to touch peoples lives and for me to be touched , as well .
I wrote a short piece about m y experience there in hopes that o th e rs around the u.s. will see how far reac hing we Pi Phis can go. Our sisterhood has encouraged women all over to reach for their dreams ; we have been able to teach that goal now to women on other co ntinents.
I am fortunat e to have had a nd continue to have Pi Phi in my life.

In the Spring 2001 ARROW, my Directions success story was published. In the few short months that The ARROW has been out I have:
1. received several e- mails from Disney cast members who saw th e a rti cle and res ea rched how to co ntact me via our company directory.
2. recruited another Pi Phi who contacted me to help serve on th e Florida Epsilon Me.
3. been contacted by a rec e nt alumna who is interested in pursuing a career in the Central Florida area. I have personally felt an impact corresponding with fellow Pi Phis I am sure that many other Pi Phi s co ntacted Directions after the a rticle.
Thank you for publishing such a great magazin e for our m e mb ers to enjoy on a quarterly basis.

The Summ er iss u e of The ARROW in particular gai n ed my attention. The explanations of our various badges were most interesting.
At one point in the 1940s, I was president of the Indiana Epsilon chapter at DePauw University. At that time , as I recall , there was no speCial pin for the president although we were a fairly new chapter then.
My husband presented me as a wedding gift in 1948 a beautiful whiteenameled tipped Pi Phi arrow He had bought it in an antique jewelry store. I noted in your article it is now used for members of Grand Co un c il o r fo r chapter presidents.
Through the years I have wo rn this badge with great pride along with my husband ' s Sigma Chi white c ross
The pin will go to my Pi Phi niece. Then s he can do as s h e wishes with it , but I do know she will treasure it as have l.

ARROW cover - Summer 2001, stunning! History of our badgeenthralling! When it arrived , I sat right down to read all the details.
Do I detect , correctly, that the c rest guard shown on page eight sho ul d have a guard with the Greek letter as described rather than being the same as that on page seven? *
Another time , would you tell us about the crest?
The article brought back cherished memories of pledge days, when we first learned about these things.
Thank you so very much.

Pi Phis Help Exhibitions Travel to Pennsylvania
Recently, the Trout Gallery of Dickinson College, located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, hosted the Arrowmont exhibitions "Arrowmont Resident Artists: The First 10 Years" and " Influential Faculty at Arrowmont. " These two milestone exhibitions were created to celebrate the first decade of the Artist-in Residence program at Arrowmont.
Peter Lukehart, director of The Trout Gallery states, "the decision to host these two exhibitions stemmed from conve ations with illustrious members of the Dickinson College chapter of Pi Beta Phi [Pennsylvania Gamma], cally-Eltzabeth Flo erJam and our benefactor, Ruth Trout."
Ruth, along with her sister Helen, fulfilled their late father's dream of enriching his daughters' lives through art by underwriting the construction of the gallery, which opened to the public in 1983. Peter further mentions that "Betty and Ruth also provided valuable historical information about the Settlement SchooL" Ruth, as well as Arrowmont ' s Gallery Coordinator Patrick Tetjak, were both in attendance for the opening reception heldjune 8.

An Arrowmont First
BY KIMB ERLY G EIB
Turning his first bowl in camp at age 10, Steven Gottlieb, a retired senior partner of a Maryland-based management technology consulting firm, didn't tum his second piece until age 50. At camp, he was able to learn new skills and create his own. Based on this experience, Steven and his wife, Carolyn, created the $100,000 endowment for the Steven E. and Carolyn J. Gottlieb Woodcraft Scholarship - the school's first full-wood scholarship.
The scholarship provides a finanCially deserving wood student between the ages of 18-23 an all-expense-paid opportunity to attend a spring or summer workshop at Arrowmont. The award includes full tuition, room and board, lab and supply fees, and travel expenses for the recipient. The initial idea for the scholarship was to enable young, disadvantaged children an opportunity to experience a "better environment for a short period of time to show them something that they wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to learn," Steven says.
W HY ARRO WM O NT?
Steven first heard positive comments about Arrowmont through past instructors and through involvement in the Central Texas Woodturners Association (CTWA) where he is currently treasurer. Steven says, "two people made a point of talking about it [Arrowmont] - Gary Roberts, who is an Original sponsor of CTWA and the American Association of Wood turners (MW), and David Ellsworth [a faculty member] who mentioned Arrowmont in a positive way." Through word-ofmouth and the Gottlieb's independent research , the scholarship idea evolved.

When they visited Arrowmont for the first time last summer, Steven and Carolyn were pleasantly surprised to find all Arrowmont had to offer and both thought it was a positive experience. They knew they wanted to "help make a difference in the lives of youngsters ," Steven says , and the unmatched wood studio complex at Arrowmont seemed to be the perfect setting to make their idea a reality. The opportunity for youth to "gain exposure and get creative in a friendly , cooperative environment that is not competitive " was what they found at Arrowmont.
ExPECTATI ONS
Steven says he has no expectations for the recipient to become a career wood turner, but does hope that the individual may learn he "can do something on his own , and that may not have to do with just wood turning ," Steven says. " [Wood turning] requires skills and confidence building. » He hopes that the young people who may benefit from the scholarship leave Arrowmont with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
A Tribute to Joanie
Dr. Donald R. Arnold, husband of Texas Beta Joanne MaGiri Arnold, has generously endowed lhejoanie Arnold Fund in loving memory of his wife. The fund has been established to augment the Fraternity's Traveling and Resident Graduate Consultant program.
Shortly before her untimely death , joanie expressed to her family a desire to be part of enhanCing the Fraternity's Graduate Consultant program. Don 's gift, made with the full suppOrt of his daughter Kentucky Beta Cynthia Arnold, and his son,james Arnold , represents the family's wish to fulfill joanie 's dream.
Foundation President, Iowa Alpha Elizabeth Davenport Garrels and Cynthia announced the establishment of this fund at the 2001 Denver Convention.
joanie was a dedicated and loyal Pi Phi who gave her time freely. A long time member of the Cleveland West , Ohio Alumnae Club, joanie served the Fraternity as a Province President, the Director of Chapter Support, Region I and as a Special Assistance Officer for chapters. Most recentI)" joanie served as Director of CollegJate Programming.
joanie found great personal satisfaction and many challenges in working with
collegians. She believed in the relevance of the fraternity experience and the importance of the Fraternity's international objectives of maintaining the quality of that experience.
It was by first working as a Province President and then through her extensive international involvement with Pi Phi 's collegiate chapters thatjoanie developed a keen appreciation for the Graduate Consultant program. It was this appreciation that led to her interest in supporting the program.
This fund will , in particular, enable the Fraternity to provide incentive components to the Graduate Consultant program , which include financial compensation and speCial graduate fellowship opportunities.
The contribution made to provide such funding for the stated goals is most generous and represents the largest outright gift received by the Pi Beta Phi Foundation The Foundation Board of Trustees and the Fraternity Grand Council are Sincerely appreciative of this gift.
As with all funds within the Foundation, donors may add to the principal of this fund by sending gifts to the Foundation Office noting that the gift is to be added to the endowment portion of the fund. For more mformatIon, please contact the Foundation Office.
A Foundation Farewell
In 1991, Lynn Raney, CFRE became Pi Beta Phi Foundation's first Director of Development. Lynn's leadership over the past 10 years has been highly valued.
After finalizing a second adoption in China this November, Lynn will take a leave with her daughter and then pursue another, very personal, interest. She has accepted a position with Children's Hope International and will be working with the agency to fund humanitarian aid and relief programs around the world.
Children's Hope International's gain is our loss. We will miss the guidance Lynn provided to our Foundation. Through her leadership, our Foundation's annual Friendship Fund has experienced great success with giving levels higher than ever and a well-established giving recognition program; a planned giving program with its own newsletter has been established; the Foundation newsletter has become a standard piece of reading material; and, more than 23 new endowments have been funded or planned. All of these achievements position our Foundation well for its future and its next stage of growth and development.
For all of this , we heartily thank Lynn , and the Foundation Board and staff offers her our best wishes as she ventures into this new phase of her life. See page 43 for additional infonnalion.

Welcome Home
"I wake up in the morning to 'Mangwanani. '
This is not English, not Spanish nor French. It's Shona, and I am in Zimbabwe. I pull on my long skin, say hello to the frogs that hibernate in my bathroom, open the door and assess what activities need to be accomplished for the day.
I have taken five months off from my master's program at Boston University to work with AIDS orphans and HIV positive men, women and children in Zimbabwe, the country with the third highest rate of HN infection in the world. Getting my master's in public health is a small preparation compared to the actual work I will be doing. I work ar a not-far-profit AIDS day center, called Tsungirirai, which translated into English means Persevere and Have Courage.
The typical situation is this : Christine married and had three children: Winnet, Brenda and Brian ages 14, 12 and nine. Her husband died in 1995 from HN. Chrisrine tested, and found out she is HN positive. She is shunned from his family because she killed him - she gave him the virus. Her brothers and sisters will not take care of the children; they have too many kids and cannot afford more meals and more school fees. Winnet, Brenda and Brian wake up each morning on the mud floor of their one room , feed their mother, go to school, cook , clean, feed their mother again and do it all over the next day. Every day Winnet is scared to go home because she doesn ' t want to see if her mother is dead These children have lost their childhood
Director of Chapter Support, Region I and KENTUCKY B ETA B ARBARA
MCR£\'NOIDS iAMAsrER was inducted into the University of Kentu cky's Greek Hall of Fame.

Growing up in Illinois , I was aware of the opportunities I was granted just by being born in America. at until I set foot on a continent I had only read about did my position in life sink in . From training women in the local community on how to care for the sick, sitting next to a wife while she pleaded with me to save her husband , or just by walking down mud streets , I only have glimpsed at what my life could have been . I was fortunate to have been born into this society.
OnJuly 4, I cried because I was so overwhelmed with emotion to be back in America and to be grateful for what I have, but also because my friends in Zimbabwe will never have th is opportumty They will never have my memories of ch ildhood : Sum Fun Day Camp , ice cream trucks ringing down Parkwood, or swimming at Oakton Pool. My friend Winnet is sitting on a mud !loor watching her mother as she slowly leaves this life I write this because of how much I have received by living in America and want to encourage people to take a moment and appreciate what is around them."

ABOVE LEFT: A few years after graduating from Birmingham-Southern College , several ALABAMA ALPHA alumnae started playing bridge once a week During the next 12 years a few of the original members of this group moved from Birmingham. However, other members joined to continue the Pi Phi fellowship. By 1968 the total had reached 16 and it was decided that the group should have a luncheon the third Wednesday of each month at alternating homes. After 45 years, this lunch tradition is still going strong. The women have expanded their activity horizons to include retreats to Destin, Florida; hiking and mountain climbing in Birmingham; traveling and taking tours with their husbands; and planning parties when each one of their children married.

IWNOIS EPSlLO J U DY HEIMDAL PuERSO ' s newest book , "Follow Your Heart " In her book Judy includes interviews with 20 women from all walks of life. Not only did these women overcome their own challenges and adversities, but they also dispelled many of their personal myths and misconceptions about following their hearts and pursuing their dreams. " God's wishes for our lives are often planted in our hearts as a deep personal desire," Judy says. "Whether big or small, a dream typically is neither in conflict with our talents nor is it out of harmony with where we are in our lives." Formerly, Judy was involved wi t h two of her own companies, served on the Trustee Board of Stony Brook School on Long Island and wrote "Something of Your Own." She writes from her experience as a wife, mother, grandmother, business woman and speaker.

Adoption is intended to be , and should be , a fulfilling , beautiful, rewarding and enriching aspect of anyone ' s life Many times, however, there are pitfalls and a lack of resources to tum to for help , advice and answers on the subject. WISCONSIN AlPHA BARBARA TAYLOR BWMQ UIST'S new book, "Insight Into Adoption: What Adoptive Parents Need to Know About the Fundamental Differences Between a Biological and an Adopted Child - And Its Effect on Parenting" deals with the pitfalls that may not be obvious to the unenlightened adoptive parent who is basically handed a child and told to "make him your own ."
The goal of this book is to help adoptive parents understand some potentially challenging factors so they can deal with them pOSitively, and to help parents comprehend the thinking process of their child . It can also be an invaluable resource to social workers, teachers and counselors so that they may approach their adopted clients in an enlightened way once they understand an adopted child has issues in his life unique to th e adoptive process.

Evelyn Peters Kyle Award - to honor a Pi Phi alumna fo r exa ptional service to an alumnae club by poforming those duti es oft en unrecognized.
" Cecile immediately involved herself in the San Francisco , California alumna e club. It was not long before she was asked to be president and served the first of her two full terms. Her home became a fixture within the Pi Phi community as a meeting place.
In 1961 , when Stanford reopened its campus to fraternities , Cecile was quick to offer her home for rush and pledging activities. She also hosted many other meetings and parties for the active chapter, supplying all food and hospitality at her expense .
In 1970 , when the alumnae club decided to host an annual Christmas party as its major fund-raiser , Cecile once again was there - offering her house for the activities. It proved such a wonderful success that panhelleni c heard the word and asked if its party could be held at her house , as well Thus , for the past 20 years , the panhellenic party has been held at Cecile's the week after th e Pi Phi party .
When the international Fraternity wanted to host its leadership workshop weekend in San Francisco, of course members turned to Cecile Although she wasn ' t going to b e in town, she turned her house over to local Pi Phis who served as hosts for the weekend to about 70 Pi Phis.
Cecile has been to convention more than an y o ther San Francisco alumna , each of the 20 times at her own expense. She uses her friendships made at those conventi o ns to highlight local alumnae meetings , as well as to en co urage p a rti c ipation in the Pi Phi Foundation , Holt H o u se, Arro wm o nt a nd other Pi Phi ve ntures
In b o th loc al a nd nati o n a l Pi Phi ci rcles, Cec il e is 100-ed. H e r grac io u s n ess, loyal[) ' a nd d e\'o ti o n to chap t er id ea ls a rc re n o wne d Cecile is 9 6 -yea rs -old and has no interest in quittin g. Sh e is our gua rdi an ange l among angels"
Emma Harper Turn er Award - to honor a Pi Phi alumna for exceptional leadership to an alumnae club .
" On behalf of the Austin , Texas alumnae club of Pi Beta Phi , I am pleased to nominate Texas Alpha Polly Piper Rickard for the Emma Harper Turner Leadership award.
She is a leader who surrounds herself with capable people and motivates them to share in like goals; a worker who rolls up her sleeves when no one else will and dives into unchartered waters confident that the destinat ion is worth the swim; an officer who is committed and thorough in her task , selflessly meeting deadlines and graCiously appearing and representing the club and Pi Beta Phi.
Upon accepting the presidency , Polly aimed to increase our club ' s membership. She divided the roster and asked the board to review the list and call upon personal friends and invite them to join us. She encouraged and made sure the monthly meeting times were staggered to accommodate as many age groups ' attendance as possible. Due to this personal and considerate approach , membership increased both in numbers and attendance at the monthly meetings.
Polly also sensed that our current fund-raising approach ne e ded a shot in the arm so she sought the input of fellow members and shared with them an idea to combine our current concept of a luncheon with deSigner decorated tables plus bring in our international literacy philanthropy. Together , the collective decision-making yielded a successful fund-raiser that draws upon the talents of our alumnae and now has a focus on literacy.
And , mo s t imp o rtantly , Polly Single-handedly spearheade d the fo rmati o n o f the Austin Pi Beta Phi Foundation.
Po ll y is d edi ca ted , pe rsi s te nt , re liable and loyal to Pi Beta Phi Sh e loo ks to th e future vvith h e r ideas and leaves ro o m for growth an d ell.-p ansion from our me m be rs , a lways res p ectful of the strength of de legation and co ll ecti\'e decision making."

Solicitations
On occasIOn mdlVldual PI PhIS will mail a solicitation letter to Pi Beta Phi chapters. Pi Beta Phi alumnae clubs and individual Pi Phis.
This is a violation of the Pi Beta Phi Constitution and Statutes that state: "C hapters or individual members may not solicit funds from alumnae, other chapters or alumnae clubs." (Article X, Section 12) This is true even when the money solicited is on behalf of a public charity and not for personal benefit.
Many clubs and chapters have a local charity or institution they support , all of which are worthwhile , and soliciting other chapters, clubs and individual Pi Phis would quickly get out of hand .

Did You Know . • •
Last year 19,292 Pi Phis paid their alunmae dues 150,708 Pi Phis did not.
Why should you pay your alumnae
Because the Fraternity needs your financial support. The $20 paid to the Fratern ity through alumnae dues pays for a variety of vital operations including technology that keeps Pi Beta Phi accessible to it members, collegiate programming, alumnae programming, RLRs and The ARROW.
Who needs to pay alumnae
• If you visit the Pi Phi Web site - you need to pay your alumnae dues to support technology.
• If you belong to an alumnae club - you need to pay your alumnae dues for the vitality of the club
• If you don't live in a club area - you need to pay your alumnae dues to remain connected as a loyal link.
• If you are a Pi Phi alumna - you need to pay your alumnae dues!
If you've paid your dues, contact five Pi Phis and ask them to become dues-paying members. Visit a Pi Phi neighbor, call a non-participating alumna, e-mail a pledge sister, etc. Remind them of their ties to the Fraternity and the importance of their support.
The most important Fraternity link is the involvement and financial support of Pi Phi alunmae. Pay your dues now. And don't forget to phone a friend!
