Family "We are Family" even Barney , a purple dinosaur, singing about happy families ... surround us as this issue of The ARROW goes to press. What better time for our Pi Phi magazine to feature family ties?
And yet the concept of family is not new to our Fraternity . Pi Phis have long identified their fellow members as sisters and traditionally maintain close ties with each other for life. Like members of any caring family, we provide loyalty , encouragement and sympathy. In the supportive environment of our chapters, common goals are identified , and members of the Pi Phi family are challenged to achieve excellence. We are encouraged to develop our special talents , are praised when we succeed and comforted when disappointment occurs. Each woman is unique and yet part of a larger family which has flourished for 128 years.
In many chapters, young women living together, sometimes away from home for the first time , think of Pi Phi as their own family and credit the sorority environment with easing their transition to university life
In every chapter, our family rejoices in adding new members and misses those who are no longer near. We marvel at the international scope of our famil)" realizing that there are few places where we \vill not find a Pi Beta PhI to welcome us \\'e are eager for news of our pledge classes, our "bIg SISters," and our chapter friends We
attend reunions, State Days , Founders ' Day celebrations and conventions, always happy to see once again those who share a special bond with us.
Here in Central Office we receive letters from a broad spectrum of our Pi Phi family living in all comers of the world. Seventy-five year members reminisce about what sorority friendships have meant over the years. Parents proudly order "Pi Phi Dad " shirts. Members ask for assistance in finding classmates years after graduation. Mobility among our members is common , yet relocation, ca reer change, or a different life stage often result in even wider Pi Phi family con n ections.
Much of our time is spent helping those who mean much to each other, and we experienLe a special sense of satisfaction in reuniting Pi Phi sisters or in returning a "los t " member to the mailing list. We take pride in strengthening family ties by maintaining and providing membership information.
Along with the hundreds of volunteers who are sharing their time and talent with the Fraternity , the professional staff at Central Office is assisting members by providing administrative support. Working with a large and dynamiC organization is a challenge. Working with our thriving family makes that challenge worthwhile'

Memories
It is so nice of Pi Beta Phi to remember after all these years, that I still exist. I am 94 years old That covers a lot of years. I graduated from University of Vermont in June of 1922. I decided to go teach at the Settlement School. I was there for five years. There were workers and teachers from all over the U.5. and Canada. Miss Evelyn Bishop was Head Resident , PhylliS Higinbotham, the first resident nurse and on and on So now look what our little mission school in Gatlinburg, Tennessee has become . It is always good to look back from where we are today, to the grass roots of yesterday . It is good to find that one little grain of mustard seed that our early Pi Phi planted , took root and prospered

Do you remember "I can ' t believe I ate the whole thing? " Well , I can ' t believe I'm a Golden Arrow Pi Phi There were 50 pledges that September in 1943 when my Pi Phi c onne c ti o n began at th e Universi ty o fTexas World War II colored everyone 's life so rush week offered some relief from the seri-
ousness of the times There were squeals and tears , with excitement abounding. Initiation came in March 1944, but it escapes my memory. I do remember taking part the next March and leading a girl to the chapter room for her own first experience with the lovely rites. Other memories are of all those songs, and I with absolutely no voice yet a head for words , acting at endless open houses ; the beauty of our rituals whose wisdom rings inside even today ; the surprise and agony of rush from the inside, and hoping for my favorites; the fun of living in the house with so many sisters squeezed in so many rooms.
Since I started as a sophomore and the university was on a war-time accelerated schedule , I spent only two and a half years in Austin , but Pi Phi went home to Corpus Christi with me
When my husband and I began our many moves about Texas with Sun Pipe Line Co. , Pi Phi went with me to Beaumont and Longview and helped me find a place. Consequently, I consider alumnae clubs invaluable Ever an optimist, even more years are ahead of me and it would be lovely to hear about some of those 1944 pledge sisters

Arrowmont Accolades
I wanted to take time to write you about Arrowmont School. I've been a fa c ulty member there several times , and remain very impressed with the endeavor on many levels I' ve also taught at several of the other "art camps " where adult students have a chance to
immerse themselves in a class for a week or two, and find Arrowmont is really a gem
The willingness of the Pi Phis to support this project is commendable Much has b een written lately about the ways that learning about a craft is learning about one's self and larger life issues and Arrowmont fosters this experience . This is such a valuable opportunity, not only for the non-traditional student involved in learning about a craft, but for people to come together across boundaries of age, background and experience and share an interest and the resulting discoveries. Students and faculty both take home not only technical craft information, but also renewed ideas about self, shared exchange, creative problem-solving , and the value of individual thinking. All very needed as the '90s move along.
Sandra Blain and Bill Griffith do an exceptional job creating the environment where these things happen. They make it easy, fun and rewarding to be at Arrowmont It appears the easiest and most natural thing to keep it all running, and they always display involvement, optimism and good humor. I commend them! There may be different programs, but I've experienced none better.
The support and insight of your organization has produced a facility that combines school , library and gallery resources that are very impressive , and very well-used. Please send my thanks to the members of Pi Beta Phi for their encouragement and support of th is worthy project.

My fingers traced the shiny, pointed end of the arrow. The pearls, small and fragile, lined the shaft, and glowed with luminescent antiquity. A delicate gold chain shook lightly , catching the light as I explored this new found treasure.
"Grandma," I asked, "Where are you going?"
She smiled ligh tly, and paused before s h e responded, "A reunion."
I was puzzled for a moment, then questioned, "A re-what?"
"Union. I'm going to see some dear old friends today."
My grandmother's words echoed in my mind during initiation as my mother pinned her arrow on me . "A reunion ... I'm going to see some dear old friends today " Suddenly , I felt the circle was complete, and I knew exactly what she had meant . I had been introduced to a new family of loyalty , understanding , acceptance and shared traditions.
The traditions practiced in Pi Beta Phi have been the cornerstone of my membership experience The inner significance of what the Fraternity stands for will always hold a secret place within my hean , yet the knowledge that I' ve become a part of a whole that adheres to that set o f trad i tio ns, and h as fo r so man y years, expands Pi Ph i's meanin g even more I recall reading a letter written by a Pi Phi in the late nineteenth
century , as she traveled by train and buggy to investigate a site for Settlement School. I remember feeling a special link with the account of her trip , and how wonderful it was that she , nearly 120 years ago , had known the same traditions, whispered the same secrets, and for all good intentions , pledged with the same sincerity as I had. So much time has passed , and so many things about t he world have changed, yet those binding ties of Pi Beta Phi remain the same.

In May of 1994 Kasey was in a tragic boating accident at Lake Havasu. Arizona. The result of this accident was the amputation of her left arm. This. however, has not slowed Kasey down. Fortunate to have a lOving family and very supportive friends. Kasey counts her older sister KeLlie as her number one supporter. KeLlie , also a California Lambda, postponed her own graduation, taking off a term of school to care for Kasey.
Kasey, who was an accomplished gymnast, song leader, dancer, choreographer and runner prior to the incident , continues to participate and excel in sports. Less than four months after the boating accident, Kasey ranked in the top five of a regional aerobics contest. A part-time aerobics instructor at UCR Kasey choreographed a modem dance

My Pi Phi grandmother Flora Isabel Edmond Winton , the most honest, intellectual and compassionate person I have ever known , died in 1991 shortly after receiving her 7S-year certificate. Her strength of character and her insistence on being one ' s own best self influenced not only the family , but scores ofTexas Alpha Pi Phis . She loved Pi Beta Phi , as a member , an alumna and as housemother to Texas Alphas , and she was extremely proud of her many Pi Phi progeny.
Flora Edmond Winton was the second of more th an ten Texas Alpha Pi Phi family members. Her older sister Rose Edmond Aldrich was in the first pledge class ofTexas Alpha (1903) Fo ll Owing Flora were two daughters: Kath eri ne Winton Kline, Mary Winton Green; three nieces: Martha Edmond Temple, Mary Penland Christie , Sara Penland Lahey and four granddaughters: Susan Kli n e Morehead, Elizabeth Gerry Kline, Fraser Suttles Smith and Susan Clevenger Shoff.
Widowed with three small children in 1927, she returned to her hometown of Waco, Texas and received her master of arts in English literature from Baylor University while teaching at Waco High School. Later , she served as housemother for Texas Alpha Pi Phis, who knew her as Fuffa , for ten years (1943-19S0 and 1963-1966).

Indiana Delta Marshajepsonjay shares a delightful story of how her family , including several Pi Phis, help raise money to fight Cystic Fibrosis . " My niece, Laura jay , was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) when she was two and a half years old. This news was devastating to our family. We felt so helpless. The only thing we felt we could do to help Laura was to raise money to find a cure for this disease
"Every spring the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation holds a ' Great Strides' walk-a-thon in more than 240 sites across the United States. The jay family quickly became involved in the Indianapolis site There are now more than lS0 people who walk on our team , t h e 'JayWalkers,' includin g a n um ber of Pi Phis. D u ring the last six years we have raised over $63,SOO.
"Both Lisa Holtzclaw jay (another of Laura 's aunts) and I attended Purdue University as part of the Indiana Delta Chapter. Close ties to our college friends have enabled us to involve 2S-30 Pi Phis in the Great Strides Walk either as walkers or as contributors
"It is wonderful to feel the support of our sorority sisters in our efforts to help Laura . It is amazing how many kind notes we receive from our Pi Phi friends showing their concern for Laura ' s situation and sharing our excitement about a possible cure We have been touched by their ongoing caring and support.

For the first time, gene therapy is being used to correct the underlying defect t hat causes CF.

As I sat down to write this letter, up came the mail truck with my Winter 1994 issue of The ARROW. In it is the notice of Kansas Alpha Mary Poindexter Rigby Carlisle's, my grandmother, death. She died shortly after receiving word from me that she would be receiving a certificate from Pi Phi commemorating her 75 years as a Pi Phi. That information pleased her greatly. GrandMary, as she was known to her grandchildren, was always proud of her heritage as a Pi Phi. She was initiated into Kansas Alpha in 1918 and had a wealth of stories about the campus and the sorority during that era. She would still giggle when talking about being allowed to walk to class with boys during an outbreak of rabies on the campus-so the girls could be protected from the rabid squirrels. It was just like having a date during the week! Or getting called before the sorority officers because she had in her possession three fraternity pins, and being asked what she thought she was doing, leading on all these men-until she explained that they all belonged to her brother.
Although she never pushed, I know she was pleased when both my sister and I pledged Pi Phi When I was initiated, she gave me her pin On the back of it is written Poindexter 1918 It is something I treasure and hope to have the opporrunity to give to her great-granddaughter when she goes to college

Being the oldest of 12 children , it was quite a privilege to be able to attend college and a very wonderful privilege to be able to join a sorority. As
a Knox student, I enjoyed the Greek life even though we did not have a Pi Phi house on the Knox campus. My sisters Carol Mangieri Ekdahl and Christine Mangieri Vujovich eventually became Pi Phis at the University of Illinois during their u ndergrad u ate days during the '60s and '70s. Now, my daughter Caroline (named for my sister Carol) is a Pi Phi at my alma mater, Knox!

It was inevitable that I would become a Pi Phi. I can say it all started with my father (Papa]oe) who was a member of the last graduating class of Pi Beta Phi High School in 1963 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I've held on to his high school key with our crest on it all these years. And thanks to Arrowmont and Pi Beta Phi donations, I was able to take fiber arts courses for my art degree that I wouldn't have been able to get at my university or to afford otherwise
My experience at Arrowmont was so incredible, a true artist's dream! So many neat people all together at one time All ages, from beginners to professionals, all sharing and creating together. I enjoyed it so much I decided I really wanted to be a part of the sorority I was so pleased to be initiated , even though I was a senior. Wow! The beauty of the bond is worth it all. Every time I go back to Tennessee I have to visit Arrowmont-it's like coming home. And even though my alma mater chapter is dissolved, I just want to say that the memories go with you and there is Pi Phi love in every town We seem to have our guardian angels everywhere

In my travels as President of Beta Theta Pi, I am asked dozens of times a year a question by our undergraduates, "What is our Sister Sorority?" Most of the Betas assume it is Pi Beta Phi. I tell them that while Beta Theta Pi has no official "Sister Sorority," my own "Sister Sorority" is Pi Beta Phi.
I learned of the concept of fraternity from a number of sources but one of the primary sources was my dear mother, Lacy Abell Morris #170 on the rolls of Kentucky Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, at the University of Louisville, initiated on October 12, 1939. As a boy, I often saw The ARROW as it arrived dutifully each quarter, and was fascinated with her beautiful Pi Beta Phi badge which she kept in an honored place in her jewelry box and yes, I often heard her tell stories of her happy collegiate days as a Pi Phi. But best of all, the indelible impression which was left on my mind was that in Pi Beta Phi, the fraternity experience lasted for a lifetime. Actions do speak louder than words and my mother's lifelong best friends were her sisters in Pi Beta Phi When I say lifelong, I mean lifelong, and when I say best friends , I mean best friends . For instance , her dear friend Camilla Taylor Cofer is also my Godmother , but no clearer example of this lifelong bond could be than when my daughter Mary Creighton Morris , matriculated at the University of Kentucky. There was of course no question in my mother ' s mind , (nor in mine really) which sorority she should choose Mother marshaled the troops and I will bet you that the Kentucky Beta Chapter got a host of recommendations regarding my daughter. They are a wonderful chapter of young ladies
and fortunately they chose her and she chose them. I will never forget the elation in my daughter's voice when she called me that night and exclaimed, "Dad, I went Pi Phi!" She had called my mother first.
It was then, several months later, when four ladies, all in their seventies, got up at 3:00 a.m. and drove from Louisville, Kentucky to Lexington, Kentucky to attend my daughter'S initiation. They were my aunt, Mary Hardin Morris Woodward, Sally Sandidge Stiglitz, Florence Isert Gans and my mother, all Kentucky Alphas They were all bound and determined to see the next generation of Pi Phi come into existence. My daughter has told me there was no happier surprise or greater experience in her life than to have these ladies come to participate in her initiation . As for my mother, I will let her express in her own words the way she felt as this is what she said when she wrote the preSident of the chapter:
Dear Sarah ,
A group photograph from Lacy Abell's initiation banquet. Lacy is standing second from the left.
Mary Creighton Morris and her grandmother Lacy Abell Morris at Creighton'S initiation
A year after Creighton was initiated, my mother suddenly passed away, but not before she had passed along to another generation of Pi Beta Phi what I perceive to be the true spirit and meaning of fraternity. In some small way, that spirit will not just be passed on to Pi Beta Phi but also to Beta Theta Pi, and for that I am eternally grateful.
- B. H U ME MORRIS , II PRESID ENT B FfA TH FfA PI FRATERNITY
The lovely glow I felt when I heard the Pi Beta Phi ritual again and was able to put Creighton's pin on her is still so strong and I do want to thank you and all the girls for making this special occasion possible for me You all were so gracious and put all of us at ease and did everything to make our trip fun . The house is beautiful and the coffee is the best I've ever tasted! Sally Stiglitz was a model initiate at a province conference and was initiated by then Grand President Amy B. Onken . Florence Cans was preSident of our Kentucky Alpha Chapter Harda Woodward is Creighton 'S grandfather'S sister, so I brought some heavy brass to the occasion. The sisters in the wine and blue seem to be a hearty lot and these friendship have lasted over 50 years! I wish that for you and thank you again for makingfour old gray-haired ladies feel like springtime again.
Sincerely , Lacy
Abell Morris
Osolniks Tribute Raises $75,000 for Scholarship Fund
"Wood turning: A Tribute to the Osolniks ," a national conference sponsored by Arrowmont, raised $75,000 for the school's newly established Daphne and Rude Osolnik Scholarship Fund. The three-day conference was held October 20-22 in honor of Berea , Kentucky wood turning pioneer Rude Osolnik and his late wife Daphne who was his manager, his wood finisher and a weaver.
Rude was among the 20 woodturners and enthusiasts wh o donated their ti m e an d expertise for 64 demonstrations and slide talks on techniques, design and collecting. More than 250 turners and friends of the Osolniks attended the conference which was organized by Dale Nish and Sandra Blain. Proceeds from the conference went to the fund , as did donations from the Osolnik family, their friends and friends of woodturning.
The conference was preceded by the opening of two major wood turning exhibitions, "Rude Osolnik: Old and ew" and "The Robyn and John Hom Collection: Recent Acquisitions," which were on view October 19 through December 14 A highlight of the conference was a lively Osolnik roast, followed by an auction which raised $33,000 of the scholarship fund . Interest from the fund will result in wood turning and general craft scholarships. The scholarships, ranging from $300 to $500, will be available for the school's one- and two-week spring and su mmer workshops. Recipients will be
wood turning applicants nationwide, and craft applicants residing in the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild (SHHG) region
The guild 's region includes all of West Virginia, and selected counties in Alabama , Georgia , Kentucky , Maryland , North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The goal of the guild is to bring together the crafts and craftsmen of the Southern Appalachian mountains for the benefit of education, marketing and conservation. Arrowmont is an institutional member of the guild, and Osolnik, who has been turning wood since 1938 , became a member in 1955 . The Osolnik Scholarships will be biased towards yo ung , talented and committed individuals , with financial need as a consideration. The open fund is to be a permanent tribute to the co ntributions Daphne and Rude Osolnik have made to the advancement of crafts in the United States and abroad. Those interested in co ntributing to the fund, and those interested in information about these and other scholarships, may write to Arrowmont at P.O. Box 567 , Gatlinburg , T 37738 or call (615)436-5860.

Heritage Hall Wins Local Design Awards
Heritage Hall, Arrowmont'S new $1.2 million student housing facility, has won two first place awards from Gatlinburg, Tennessee's Environmental Design Board.
Designed by Jim Coykendall of Community Tectonics , Inc ., in Knoxville, Tennessee , the dormitory took first place last November for architectural design excellence and for landscaping design excellence.
Heritage Hall is comprised of two buildings placed on either si d e of a small creek and joined by a covered walkway. The landscaping incorporates native shrubbery s uch as mountain laurel , azalea and rhododendron, and was commended for creating a feeling of comfort for viewers and residents.
With a combined total of 11 ,270 square feet , the two-bUilding design utilizes horizontal wood siding, srucco, and native stone to complement the dormitory 's wooded, secluded location.
The dorm provides 40 new bedrooms in addition to The ashville Room , a lounge featuring a high beamed ceiling, fireplace, small kitchenette, soft leather and upholstered furniture, and a television set. The large , screened, Kansas City-Shawnee Mission Porch provides a view of th e mountains , and is outfitted with sturdy wicker furniture.
Since 1945 when the school began , demand for affordable on-campus hOUSing has increased along with the popularity of the school's workshop programs. ew hOUSing was needed,
particularly for srudents req u esting private rather than shared accommodations . Previously, housing has been available on-campus in a renovated bam , and a collection of shingled and clapboard cottages, one of which was built before 1912. Although these rooms are !>lill popular with many students, none offer private baths or air conditioning.
Heritage Hall provides single and double rooms with private or adjOining bathrooms The smaller Marianne Reid Wild Wing is two stories high , and the three-storied main building features wheelchair-accessible accommodations on the ground Ooor. The complex also houses student laundry facilities as well as a one-bedroom apartment for distinguished visitors to the school.
The addition of 40 bedrooms has enabled Arrowmont to accommodate more students and therefore increase the number of classes it offers during its Elderhostel and Spring and Summer Workshop Programs. The addition also provides more on-campus hOUSing for national seminars such as the Studio Art Quilt ational Conference scheduled to meet at Arrowmont October 12-14,1995.
Above: Workers from Errol W. Chrismon Professional Finishes in Sevierville, Tennessee prepare to paint the exterior of Arrowmont's main building . The ambitious project began in early 1995 and took approx imately three weeks to complete. The bu ilding will be in to p con dit io n fo r t he sc hool 's 50th anniversary celebration this year .

Campaign Builds Scholarship Dollars
Arrowmon t' s artists-in -residence and rural area school children are benefiting as campaign dollars grow in scholarship funds supporting those two areas of the overall Arrowmont program.
Artists-in-Residence
Alumnae of the Virginia Alpha Chapter, which was active on the Randolph-Macon College campus from 1913 to 1960, have responded to a special appeal through the Foundation and are designating scholarship support to Arrowmont's Artist-in-Residence Program.
The Foundation placed memorial gifts for former Grand President Emeritus Marianne Reid Wild (Kansas Alpha) in a scholarship fund for artistsin-residence. That fund has grown with campaign gifts from former fraternity officers and from a $10,000 gift from Gilbert joyce in memory of his wife Phyllis Cofield joyce (Indiana Gamma).
The Children's Program
Arrowmont's Children ' s Program is the benefiCiary of a scholarship endowment from the Kevin and jan Kincaid Clifford (Indiana Delta) family. Participants from rural area schools get hands-on experience in an Arrowmont classroom during a special Saturday program held on campus throughout the winter months.
Interaction between rural area children and Arrowmont's artists-in-residence is made possible through scholarship monies provided to the
artist as part of the Trabue Professional Arts Program, funded by Lillian and Lucinda Trabue (Tennessee Beta) and Mary Dale Trabue Fitzgerald (Tennessee Beta). Program artists take materials and their skills into the outlying school areas to provide art education not accessible through the region's general curriculum.
Wood Match Is Made
The atmosphere at Arrowmont late this fall was one of celebration when it was announced that the challenge grant of $352,500 from the Windgate Foundation had been matched in time to guarantee $705,000 toward consrruction of a new wood studio complex.
More than 150 donors contributed toward the success of the challenge. Early donors with leadership gifts of more than $15,000 to "guarantee" the match included Harold and joanne Hunt Hook (Missouri Alpha), Don and Pamela Whitelock Mauldin (Texas Beta), Bruce and Lois Hoskins, Sue Ralston Lanphere (Oklahoma Beta) , jerome Drown, and the Dallas and ashville Alumnae Clubs.
Having met the challenge, our task now is to raise the additional 20 percent of funds needed to build the new studio. Campaign personnel are committed to have these funds in time for the ground breaking scheduled for midAugust.
The studio bUilding will house three studios (wood turning , furniture consrruction and carving) , a finishing room, its own auditorium , gallery , courtyard and a studio office space for faculty and artists-in-residence
On view in architect Jim Coykendall's office is a mock-up of Arrowmont's proposed wood studio showing the layout of the 8,900 square foot facility. A center courtyard with glass walls and a catwalk constructed above the three interior studio areas will permit visitor viewing without disturbing artists as they work.
Successful campaign fund raising in the Pi Phi and art communities is making the new facility possible. Construction will begin in August
Educational consultants in woodworking have maximized space in all three work areas and they have advised on all of the technical necessities for a premier facility of this type. Arrowmont ' s planned studio is expected to be the finest of its kind in the counny .
Celebrating Fam iIy Gifts
Being related by family ties as well as Pi Phi sisterhood is a source of pleasure for many Fraternity members . For a growing number of Pi Phi families, a gift to the Foundation in support of Pi Phi educational and leadership programming, scholarships or Arrowmont is a satisfying way to commemorate these special relationships.
Foundation President Ann Dudgeon Phy, Texas Alpha, is the third generation of a family with an enviable legacy of 14 Pi Phis. A family gift to the Foundation for the Campaign for Arrowmont will name a room in the new Heritage Hall dormitory in memory of sisters Beuna Clinton Smith, Texas Alpha 1910 and Kathleen Clinton Seale Callan, Virginia Beta 1923 . As young Pi Phis they followed with pride the establishment of Settlement School. Their family's gift carries that pride on to the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
Family members of the "Clinton Clan ," as they call themselves, include Ann's mother Texas ZetaJane Brazelton
Dudgeon and her daughter Georgia Alpha Elizabeth Ann Phy , a Texas Alpha affiliate; Texas Alphas Suzanne Gorman Ensey , Margaret Seale Orr , Margaret Lohmeyer Reddick, Texas Zeta Kathleen Seale Lohmeyer , Texas Beta Eleanor Smith Morrison , Texas
Deltas Kathleen Orr Binel , Marion Oxsheer Morrison, Mississippi Beta Meredith Seale Varnay , and Texas Eta Lucille Kallinger (Kalli) Smith.
Kalli Smith says she did not know s h e had so many Pi Phi family members until she was going through rush
"Clinton Clan" collegiate family members
Elizabeth Phy. KaJli Smith and Mary Morrison.
"It's very exciting to see how active my family is in Pi Phi. There is a special bond between my Pi Phi family members that I had not realized before I pledged ."
An unrestricted gift to the Foundation in memory of Wisconsin Beta Sherry Dralle Miller, an Iowa Gamma affiliate, comes from her parents, Ralph and Phyllis Beaver Dralle, Illinois Zeta The Dralle's four younger daughters are also Pi Phis-Indiana Gamma Susan Dralle Swinton, an Iowa Gamma affiliate , and Iowa Gammas Judith Dralle Joss, Jill Dralle Grobeck and Rebecca Dralle Cleveland. Phyllis's sister, Beverly Beaver Schrader, and her aunt, Jessie Beaver Dalferes are both Illinois Zetas.
Attendance at Pi Phi initiations became a Dralle family ritual as Phyllis and each initiated daughter attended the initiation of each of the other daughters Phyllis says of her involvement , "Pi Phi has been a great influence and a wonderful part of my life and of our five daughters. I have been richly blessed to have all five become Pi Phis" a truly wonderful heritage ."
Arrowmont is the focus of sisters Lu ci nda Trabue and Mary Trabue Fitzgerald , both Tennessee Betas . Lucinda has served on Arrowmont's Board of Governors and frequently takes classes at the school.
The Trabue Professional Arts Program for Women which honors the
sisters, their mother , Lillian Dale Trabue, and Mary 's daughter , Katherine Trabue Fitzgerald provides financial support for all facets of the Artist-in-Residence Program. Lucinda explains their gift, "The school has given me so much pleasure and enrichment, I am glad that I and my family can give something to its future."
The "Cave Sisters," as they are affectionately known in Muskogee, Oklahoma, have been loyal family donors to the Foundation through the memorial and recognition gift program. Oklahoma Alpha Caro lyn Cave Durnil and Oklahoma Heta Catherine Cave Smith, who now live together in Muskogee. proudly boast many Pi Phi cousins. They are excited to report that another cousin has pledged this year at the University of Vermont.
Tennessee Betas Nancy Fawn Wilkerson Diehl and Jane Wilkerson Yount are a sister team with a history of supporting Pi Beta Phi and Arrowmont. Their gift to the Foundation for the Campaign for Arrowmont has named a room in Heritage Hall.
No matter the size of the family or the gift, these women have a shared commitment to the values of Pi Beta Phi. We celebrate these women for their gifts in support of Pi Phi programs and philanthropy.
Family groups interested in making a com memorative gift may contact the Foundation Office for information. All gifts to the Foundation are taxdeductible to the full extent of the law

"The Pi Phi version of Steel Magnolias is the name I have given to the reunion of my college sorority. We sweethearts of the '50s gathered at the lovely oceanside home of a Pi Phi sister in South Laguna. We talked, we laughed, we cried, and shared our many trials by fire over the past 39 years These women are to be congratulated , envied and blessed. We women of the ' 50s did not have a voice. We did what was expected. We married, had babies and then were supposed to
live happily ever after. Then came one of the biggest social revolutions of modem times: women's lib. And didn't times change? Two-car families, divorce, child custody battles,The Pill, free sex, drugs , etc.
"We '50s women grew up with those old-fashioned values of faith, selfdisCipline, honesty , respect, purity of heart and mind. These values, so often lacking today, are what brought us through some of life's toughest experiences: divorce, widowhood, loss of an adult child, breast cancer, financial misfortunes, homosexuality; name it and least one of these women has survived the experience.
"This particular reunion was to be a nostalgia trip. On the drive to the reunion I tho ught of seeing h ow everyone would look (aged), sharing the pictures of the grandchildren (I have six, someone else ten), remembering ... the parties and the pinnings However it was not as I expected. It was a powerful afternoon and a gift to all of those who attended. Several sisters even made the trek from Idaho

Lovingly wrapped within the numerous large boxes are 1,000 dozen of the finest yeast dinner rolls turned out in any kitchen in Arkansas Sold as a money-making project, the rolls net the club approximately $2,500 annually. The rolls are created by Mary Kay Burton, a business woman living in Blytheville, Arkansas, a community 186 miles from Little Rock Marilynn Porter, a past president of the alumnae club , grew up enjoying the rolls and decided that there would be a market for the rolls in Little Rock Therefore , she enlisted the help of her father to engineer the project. Charles Moseley , a John Deere dealer in Blytheville, has overseen the project for the past six years. Each year he embarks on a two-month mission to collect the rolls from Mary's kitchen and deliver them to freezers all over Blytheville This requires approximately forty trips to Mary's kitchen. Then, in mid-November, he retrieves the rolls and boxes them in order that a food truck can collect them for delivery to Little Rock.

But this summer something really exciting happened. On her annual trail ride in the Canadian Rockies she met a Pi Phi cowgirl! Lois recalls, "An attractive, attentive woman was helping me adjust my stirrups the first morning at trail head and I asked her name 'I'm Caenie, and you are Lois Laycraft I saw your picture on the cover of The ARROW a few years ago!' I nearly fell off the horse. Caenie Quelch Prycz (left) had been president of Alberta Alpha when I was Tau Alumnae Province President and I remembered her name too. She is not a full-time cowgirl, but does raise horses and had brought her daughter, Kia, on several rides This summer she was helping out as a wrangler and I was grateful to have her special attention. We had some good visits along the trail and at lunch stops. In the evening we shared the happy camaraderie around the old campstove with that unique bond of Pi Phi friendship "The Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies is a non-profit organization now in its seventieth year of operation . Several Pi Phis have joined over the years along with members from all over the world. In these days of overcrowding and pollution it is a rare privilege to get on the back of a food horse and ride up into the mountains far from the cares and noise of the everyday world I have been so lucky in my life to have had two such sources of pleasure and inspiration: the Trail Riders and Pi Beta Phi."
New York Deltas Celebrate 75 years at Cornell
BY C OU RTN EY GoWSllI N
During Cornell University's Homecoming weekend, the New York Delta Chapter proudly celebrated 75 years at Cornell. The theme of the commemorative weekend was " Celebrating 75 years of Friendship. " The high point of th e September 16 weekend was having Grace Blauvelt Welles, a charter me mb er of the New York Delta Chapter from the class of 1923, travel from Long Island to participate in the celebrations.
The weekend ' s commemorative events were not only enjoyed by the participants; the 75th Anniversary Committee members reaped benefits as well. Collegiate members were paired with local alu m nae to head each committee in order to ap p ly both perspectives wh e n d evelo p ing eve n ts and ac tivities. Th e ann iversalY weekend is the direct res ul t ofJeannette Brady's and Chris Mendrykowski Felton's efforts. The two chaired the steering committee in charge of coordinating the twelve committees.
On Friday, September 16, New York Delta alumnae traveled from across the northeast and midwest to make Cornell's Pi Phi house their destination. Alumnae were welcomed by live-in collegians at Friday's dessert reception, having the opportunity to meet new sisters and reminisce with fellow alumnae. During Friday night's registration and throughout the weekend, undergraduates wore commemorative pins with silver blue ribbon , while handing out pins with wine color ribbon to alumnae. The newest members wore special ribbon pins to bring attention to the fact they are the 75th pledge class
On Saturday, a special campus tour was planned for returning alumnae and guests. FollOwing the walk , alum-
nae and collegians enjoyed a barbecue tailgate prior to the Homecoming football game Block seating was arranged for both collegians and alumnae to sit and cheer together as Cornell defeated Princeton
Saturday evening there was an optional dinner for alumnae and their families on the MV Manhattan , cruising along Cayuga Lake The dinner cruise was a beautiful and relaxing evening for the out of town Pi Phi alumnae to enjoy the Finger Lakes ' region
The highlight of the weekend was Sunday's brunch. New York Deltas greatly appreciated an d felt honored by the attendance of university officials an d alumnae. Chapter President Tiffany Bangs proudly welcomed and introduced the event's speakers. John L. Ford , Cornell's Dean of Students who is also father of New York Delta Allison Ford, spoke on "What makes a great Sorority?" Dean Ford, having an insight into sorority life because of his daughter's involvement, reminded attendees how important friendships and common bonds that unite people are in order to have a successful organization. His remarks definitely struck a chord with the Pi Phis, allowing them to appreciate how close ties of friendship contribute to achievements in other areas of life.
The keynote speaker, Susan Hills Murphy , New York Delta ' 73 and vice president of student and academic services at Cornell , captured the spirit and focus of the commemorative weekend in her speech titled, "And Let Your Best Be For Your Friend. " Susan addressed the importance of friends as support systems , confidants, motivators and
family. Susan, in her closing remarks , enthusiastically announced the creation and beginning stages of fund-raising for a Pi Beta Phi 75th Anniversary Cornell Tradition Fellowship to be awarded annually to a New York Delta The Cornell Tradition, created in 1982 , is a university-sponsored program committed to redUCing the level of debt for deserving Cornell undergraduates by replacing up to $2,500 in need-based loans. The fellowship recognizes students who exemplify work ethic, volunteer service, and leadership contributions.
Finally, former New York Delta Chapter President and Traveling Graduate Consultant Tracy Furner with her dad compiled an extraordinary video of New York Della'S 75 years at Cornell. Entitled , "Now and Forever," the video accented the weekend beautifully while capturing the spirit of friendship. The undergraduates and alumnae were honored to view the video alongside Grace Welles, a woman who made the entire weekend and New York Delta history possible
The most emotional and heartwarming memory all Pi Phis will embrace was at Sunday 's brunch . Susan Murphy explained , "When we gave Grace a standing ovation , she humbly said, 'all of this for me)' " The commemorative weekend had a tremendous impact on all in attendance. Mrs. Wells' reaction at registration Saturday can also apply to how all ew York Delta 's will feel when they return to Pi Phi next time: " It means a great deal to visit here and still feel so strongly ."

National Panhellenic Conference Interim Meeting
By KATIlLEEN MAssIE, NPC DELEGATE, D ELTA D ELTA D ELTA
Delegates from all 26 member groups met in Indianapolis from October 21-23, 1994 for the National Pan hellenic Conference annual meeting. Re presenting Pi Beta Phi were Jean Wirths Scott, delegate; Carolyn Pavletich Lesh, first alternate delegate; An n Warmack Brookc;hire, second alternate delegate; andJo Ann Minor Roderick, third alternate delegate and Grand President Harriet B. Rodenberg, Sigma Delta Tau, National Panhellenic Conference Chairman, presided.
The theme, "Visions-An Eye on the Furure," provided focus for discussion, understanding, mutual trust and cooperation among the delegations. Highlighted were the accomplishments of the committees within Pc.
The Alumnae Panhellenics Committee announced that 289 chapters offered more than $200,000 in collegiate scholarships in the past year. Committed to providing the most upto-date resources, the committee worked to promote Adopt-A-School, develop an Alumnae Panhellenic Award and establish guidelines for using the rush information form. A subcommittee has been formed to assist in the recruitment of volunteer panhellemc advisors on campuses where there IS no adViSory leadership.
In an effort to keep co llege panhel-
lenics with an eye to the future , the College Panhellenics Committee asSigned 44 PC delegation members as area advisors for the more than 600 campuses where college panhellenics are organized. NPC area advisors offer support, advice and educational programming to their deSignated college panhellenics. During the past year, NPC has provided seven consulting team visits to assist in strengthening college panhellenics and offering recommendations and solutions to problems. The Rush 2000 Committee has been charged with investigating rush programming in all parts of the country, in particular, examining rush formats that differ from the traditional.
The Conference passed resolutions addressing issues of gridlock when computer bid matching is used, con;,ulting with arca ad\isors prior to the reevaluation of total, clarification of the status of off-campus students by replacing the word "term" with "a n entire academic year" and the development of an educational programming series, " PC Links ," to be offered as a resource for alumnae and college panhellenics.
The conference also approved the expansion of the Executive Committee to include the chairmen of the College and Alumnae Panhellenics Committees. An PC foundation will be established to provide funds for educational programming.
The members present kept their eyes to the future with the educa-
tional component "In the Company of Women-A Legal Perspective," presented by Tim Burke, attorney with Manley, Burke, Fischer and Lipton, publishers of Fraternal Law; Holly McKiernan, Executive Liaison and Counsel, Alpha Chi Omega; Greg Hauser, attorney with Walter, Conston, Alexander and Green, Chairman, NIC Legal Committee; and Dave Westo l, Executive Director, Theta Chi Fraternity.
Issues addressed and of concern to all women's fraternities were universityrequired relationship agreements, risk management, community living, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS, illega l activities in chapter houses, eating disorders, single sex status and m anaging lia b ility.
The ational Pa n hellenic Conference draws upon the expertise and experience of its members throughout the women's fraternity world. These dedicated women are committed to assisting collegiate and alumnae women achieve the highest ideals of fraternity membership

NPC Partner in Breast-Health Education Program
The National Panhellenic Conference was one of seven organizations selected to be a partner of Glamour/Hanes Hand in Hand when the first on-going breast-health education program was launched in 1992. The goal of the five-year program is to reduce breast cancer mortality and incidence.
Free Glamour/Hanes Hand in Hand booklets and posters, which were sent to evety sorority chapter again in fall 1994 , encourage young women to take control of their breast health at an early age rather than ignore it because of fear , misinformation or passivity The eight-page booklet reflects the program philosophy , "Goo d looks Start With Good Health." Simple lifestyle changes in diet , sc reening techniques , and interactions with health professionals are promoted in the booklet. To reinforce the naturalness of breast self-examinations for healthy yo ung women, the booklet and thc poster illustlale a stepby-step breast self-exam with pho-

tographs instead of sketches. Fourcolor breast self-exam shower cards also were sent to each chapter in the fall.
Hand in Hand was created by Glamour magazine in conjunction with the National Cancer Institute (NCl), The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American Health Foundation (AHF). The program is funded by Hanes Hosiery.
1.7 Million Booklets Distributed
During the first year more than 1.7 million booklets and thousands of posters were distributed by program partners on college campuses, in health clubs, fitness and exercise studios, doctors' offices and day care centers. The distribution partners, in addition to National Pan hellenic Conference, include ACOG ; the American College Health Association; Child time Children's Centers; IDEA , The International Association of Fitness Professionals ; IRSA- The Association of Quality Clubs; and National PanHellenic Council, Inc
Intervention Study
In April 1993, AHF released the results of a unique controlled intervention study designed to measure the effectiveness of Glamour/Hanes Hand in Hand materials The data indicate the materials significantly increased (by 37%) the knowledge and desire to be proactive about risk factors affecting breast cancer incidence and mortality. This is believed to be the first time the effectiveness of nationally-distributed health materials has been SCientifically evaluated.
Why Young Women?
Why is the program directed to young women? Former director of the National Institutes of Health , Bernadine Healy, M D., believes good health habits "must be started early in order to have staying power later in life. It 's never too early to start a healthy diet. And postponing monthly breast selfexams, which take so little time , until the forties when the risk of breast cancer is higher and fear is greater, is foolish. It is important for women to become comfortable and familiar with their bodies early in life ."
Though Glamour/Hanes Hand in Hand is targeted to women under 39, it also encourages a "trickle up" effect to those over 40. As young women become more involved in their own breast health , they will encourage their mothers and older family members to become more aware of pro-active breast-health behavior.
30 Million Package Inserts
Some 30 million additional women are being exposed to Glamour/ Hanes Hand in Hand educational information printed on Hanes Hosiery package inserts that were put into distribution October 1993. The inserts are being included in eight separate Hanes brands.
