The Arrow of Pi Beta Phi-Summer-1992

In the first years of the Fraternity, selecting new members was less formal. In cases of estab li sh in g new chapters, the choice of members was left entirely to the discretion of the member o rganizing the new group. The "Changing Years" of the Fraternity (1888-1940) brought n ew me th ods in m e mb ers hip se lect ion. Th e word "rushing" Gl m e into fraternity usage and became a part of chapter life

The following is a selection from an article by Clara G. Hookway, New York Alpha . It was printed in the October 1897 ARROW a nd describes how the women felt a bout rushing and membership selection at that time.

It is a very difficu lt thing , indeed, t o choose an exact standard, acco rdin g to which we are to judge new applicants. In the first place, what may seem a good standard to one person is unsatisfactory in anuther', upiniun. The problem i, nut reducible to exact rule. The following, however , is the solution of the difficulty as reac h ed after much thought , by one fraternity member: Select those for members who will aid in building up the Fraternity in one way at least, and will hinder its progress in no way.

Then, when we have found those to whom we feel we can extend the hand of fraternal friendship, we next a k, h ow can we secure these members ? Show to the uninitiated the beauty of yo ur fraterniry life , but don't try to persuade them that yours is the best in college, and that It can do more for its members than any other. Don't prejudice her against your rivals. Acknowledge their good points, for they probably have just as many as your fraternity. Reveal to new friends your fraternity life as it is.

As co ll ege enrollments increased, more women enrolled in coeducational institutions . In order that members become better acquainted with this larger gro up of women, parties were p lanned to which freshmen women were invited. As ot h er fraternities fo r women were founded, competiti o n for memb e rs developed, a nd " ru sh" pa rti es were initi ate d . Th e records of the early years of the Nati o nal Panhe ll enic Conference show that rushing was one of the t opics of discussion among the fraternities. As competit ion developed, rushing rules became necessary- s imple ones at first- until the s ize of chapters bro ught abo ut what is now known as the Quota-Limitation System, which

A Historical Look at Rush .

The photo caption on this newspaper clipping from the D es Moines Register reads: "A rushing party at the University of Iowa in 1892 when 'sorority pins' were displayed on shoulders-not in silk hose. The Pi Beta Phis gave a picnic for their rushees and evidendy thought a litde male persuasion would not be amiss. Note how proudly the young lady in the foreground wears the arrow."

limits the size of the pledge class and/or the tot a l s ize of chapter membership. It was the o riginal idea of the Founders that in se lecting new members it be rather lik e saying, "Here is my friend, I'd like her to be a Pi Phi too ." In later years as young women traveled away from their homes to attend co lle ge, fri e nd s wrote letters to c h apters about these women say ing in esse n ce the same, "Here is m y friend." H oweve r, a lo n g with the more complicated system of rushing, there grew the need for a more systematic method of sponsorship. From time to time the Fraternity establis h ed rules and requirements to meet that, such as forms for recommendations and the method of submitting and handling them. Despite the details involved, the process of selection was sti ll one of saying, "Here is my friend," and the wider circle st ill felt the strength of the bonds of strong, yet delicate friendships .

UNITED IN

RUSH. The mere mention of the word brings to mind hoards of people asse mbled in a panicked frenzy. I often h ave wondered why the word "rush" was selec ted to define what is, in essence, membership recruitment Other words h ave much nicer connotations a nd calmer undertone s. But rush is what it was so dubbed and remains today.

The exact process of h ow each of us pledged Pi Beta Phi is probably dramatically different, but the means the sa me ... RUSH . You may h ave been ru shed in the days of weekend picnics o r ove rni ght s lumber parties. Or perhaps you were o ne who attended tea parties where petit fours and white gloves were in abundance. More recently, you could have been wooed with song and dance and decoration.

But what is rush like today ? Today, collegians are facing new challenge in recruiting members. It is not as impl e as it was in the late 1860s, when a member would say, "Here is my friend, I'd lik e her to be a Pi Phi too." Today, co ll ege panhellenics a re dealing with vast number of women going through rush each year. Some colleges and univer ities have had more than 1500 women registered for formal ru h. Thi is quite a change from the Fraternity's early years. Consider the following taken from the minutes of a Vermont Alpha chapter meeting. "In the fall of '97, (mind you, that's 1897) rushing was even more difficult than before due to the increa ed number of entering

women and the sma ll number of Pi Phis. But aft e r extensive parties and spreads, six freshmen and two sophomores were pledged." Im agine how surprised a member of Vermont Alpha would have been to see our most recent chapter, Virginia Theta at Washington and Lee University, become in tailed. A pledge class of 70 was initi ated. In add iti on to increased numbers of women interested in the Greek system, the profile of the average college student is changing and has had an impact on rushing practices. More and more college students are over the age of 25, considered "non-traditional," and are working while attending school. Fraternitie and sororities are challenged to find a way to appeal to the e individuals. Now, more than ever we are having to market ourselves.

We can no longer rest on our laure ls wai tin g for prospective members to break down our door. We need to promote what we, as Greek groups, have to offe r. Rush, today, should be pra cticed 365 d ays a year. Our im age, as a nati onal fraternity and as a chapte r, is known long before two young women introduce them selve s.

Durin g the 1990s, you will fin d the e mph as is o f ru sh o n conversation a nd mee ting people. No lo n ge r will cha pters be participatin g in elaborate sk its or wor kin g for weeks o n extensive d ecorat ion s. Ru sh ac tivitie s a re being st reamlined so that more energy a nd time ca n be devoted to rushees gett ing to kno w members a nd members gett in g to know rushees.

In th e hu stle and bustle of rush, let us a lways be mindful of its purpose: to exten d a hand of friendship. From its beginni n g, Pi Beta Phi was formed to reach ou t to others. Founder Libb ie Brook G ad di s put it like this: "We d esired to perpetuate our attachments , a nd to fo rm , develop a nd st rengt hen othe r friend ships; for while there are deeper a nd h olier relations than that o f I.C or Pi Beta Phi, still nothing much purer or lovelier graces the name of friends hip ."

"W e must n ot loo k for a perfec t girl , for if by chance one such lane, stray m ortal should be found , she would undoub tedly be loo king for a perfect chapter, and we might n o t mee t the requirements ."

NPC Guidelines

Bring New Emphasis to Rush

During the 1991 biennial meeting of the National Panhellenic Conference, four important resolutions were passed pertaining to membership recruitment practices of fraternities and college panhellenics. The resolutions were developed because of a concern over money and time required of chapters in preparing for rush. In recent years, rushing procedures have become quite elaborate, with decorations, skits and costumes taking the spotlight. The new emphasis of rush will be on meeting young women and informing them about what Greek life has to offer. Rush in the '90s will h ave a focus on the intangibles of fraternity membership: friendship, s iste rh ood, leadership, and opportunities. Following are the NPC Resolutions:

Rush Guidelines:

WHEREAS, National Presidents, National Panhellenic Conference Delegates and the College Panhellenics Committee have voiced concern over increasing rush costs and the image portrayed on some campuses by rush party entertainment and decorations; therefore, be it RESOLVED, that a position statement be developed by the College Panhellenics Committee to establish guidelines for the simplification of rush, and be it further RESOLVED, that National Panhellenic Conference Fraternities and the College Panhellenics C o mmittee work with college panhellenics, collegiate chapters and advisors to implement these guidelines and develop social and conversation skills

WHEREA S, The College Panhellenics Committee, with the endorsement of the twenty-six National Presidents and NPC Delegates, believes that the purpose of sorority rush is for rushees and members to get to know one another, and because we believe that sorority rush should reflect the mission of the host institution as well as the purpose and ideals on which all NPC organizations are based; therefore, be it RESOLVED, that all college Panhellenics and their member chapters shall incorporate the following into their rush programs as soon as possible:

o Establish guidelines for rush budgets and set a cap on rush expenses including the value of all donated goods and services in the cap figure.

@ Eliminate all outside decorations.

8} Confine all rush entertainment within the chapter house or other rush facility.

o Evaluate all rush skits as to length and content.

o Discourage the use of rush skits at the first round of parties.

CD Discourage elaborate costuming and purchase of special rush outfits

8 Eliminate all gifts, favors, preference letters or notes for rushees until they have accepted bids.

G) Develop conversation and interviewing kills

(D Fo llow NPC recommend a ti o ns for release figures

Therefore , be it further RESOLVED , that the implementation of these changes will determine eligibility for NPC awards, and be it further RESO LVED, that these changes and the reasons for them shall be communicated to alumnae members for support in implementation, and be it further RESOLVED, that this resolution shall be distributed to all college panhellenics, Greek advisors, and National Panhellenic Conference alumnae associations by the Conference, and be it further, RESOLVED, that each of the twenty-six member groups shall assume responsibility for the distribution of this resolution to its respective collegiate chapters and alumnae organizations.

Rush Gifts:

WHEREAS, The process of membership selection is an opportunity for the r ushee to appreciate the value of fraternal affiliation, and WHEREAS, it has been recommended that no favor be given to rushees by the fraternities and/or individual members, and WHEREAS, preference letters frequently promise a bid contrary to our p h ilosophy whic h states that the re wi ll be n o promising of bids directly or ind irectly by any member, pledge or alumna of a fraternity, therefore, be it RESOL VEO that no favors, gifts, or preference letters, shall be presented to rushees prior to their accepting invitations to membership.

Quota Additions:

(Resolution not quoted in its entirety _) National Panhellenic Conference continues to recommend that bids be matched to quota only. It is recognized, however, that unusual campus conditions may indicate that some women whose bids fail to match in the normal bid matching process may be placed even if this puts a chapter over Quota. Because most unmatched bids are a direct result of a chapter issuing more rushee invitations to preference parties than it has a reasonable expectation to offer bids, panhellenics using quota additions must encourage collegiate chapters to carefully ob erve the recommended rush release numbers _

Sponsorship: Your Assistance is Vital

Membership in Pi Beta Ph i has always been based on sponsorship. Thi s is the key to the character and success of our Fraternity. Each of us was sponsored by one or many Pi Phis who vouched for our "good scholarship, excellent character, congeniality, and sympathy with the work of the Fraternity ."

Sponsorship remains the same, as our collegians today seek to include the most qualified, most compatible young women as members of Pi Phi Rush information is important in order that chapter members may identify these outstanding rushees. A chapter is strengthened by the quality of pledges who become Pi Phis. The more a chapter knows about its rushees, the wiser its decisions will be. The continuing strength of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity re sts in a large part on the conscientiou cooperation of its alumnae members in providing RIFs (Rush Information Forms).

Though much of the membership selec tion process remains the ame, it h as been refined over the years. An update on the process, the terms, the regulati ons will be of interest to ou r alumnae.

Procedure:

The Profile of a Perfect Pledge: Leadership qualities, activities, community involvement, sc holarship, wellgroomed, compatible and congenial, ab le to meet financial ob li gations, time to commit.

Membership Selection Process: An efficient, speedier method of choosing new member. It is an objective process based on the viewpoint of inclusion. Members are chosen based on good schola rship, exce llent character, congeniality, and sympathy with the work of the Fraternity. It is the selection method used by most chapters and is the process by which the most qualified, most compatible members are elected.

Notification of RlFslPledges: Our chapter a re not required to notify alumnae of RIFs received. ACRICs are notified by Central Office of young women who pledge from their area of responsibility; individual alumnae are notified by the Chapter Membership Chairman (CMC).

Sources of Rush Information Forms:

o

ACRIC- Alumnae Club Rush Information Chairman

Individual alumna

@) CMSC- Chapter Membership Selection Committee

Any Pi Beta Phi alumna is eligible to write a RIF or a letter of recommendation. When a young woman lives in an area with an alumnae club, the RIF should be processed through the ACRIC and her committee. When there is no alumnae club or pocket in the area, the RIF may be signed by the individual alumna. Each pledge must have a va lid RIF signed; additional letters of recommendation are always helpful. The Chapter Membership Selection Committee (composed of specific Alumnae AdviSOry Committee and Executive Council officers) is designed to function when information is not available from alumnae, either ACRIC or individual.

The SRIC (State Rush Information Coordinator) is an alumna who assists the CMC in locating individual Pi Phi alumnae from areas witho ut alumnae clubs.

If a young woman i new to an area, the new area is responsible for her RIF. They may, however, contact the o ld area for information.

Letter s of reco mmendation ofte n convey the personal knowledge of a young woman and are a real asset to the chapter.

Regulations:

• Be understanding of quota-limitati ons. Chapters are on ly allowed to pledge a small percentage o f the outstanding young women participating in rush.

• Be understanding about legacies (Num bers have increased)

• Do not "bribe" chapters with gift in a rushee's name.

• Do not call a chapter during rush An y necessary communication must be made through the AAC (Alumn ae Advisory Committee) conta ct

• Support Panhellenic and the Greek system.

• An y Pi Phi alumna is eligible (and is urged) to write a RIF or a letter o f recommendation.

Th e Fraternity thanks you for your support of our chapters as they see k to include the most qualified and most compatib le rushees into membership in Pi Beta Phi. You provide a valuable service for the continuing excellence of our Fraternity when you give Pi Beta Phi spo n so rship

by Kay Knittle Brock, Director of Membership

"We do not discriminate, but rather select from among the available material those who seem best suited to membership on a basis of congeniality of taste and aspiration, of ability to meet the Fraternity standards and obligations, and of acceptability to the whole fraterni ty. "

Grand President Alice Weber l ohnson, 1962

Legacies: Linking the Past with th e Futur e

Here and there and everywhere there's a girl of the Pi Beta Phi.

Dreaming 0' er the days of yore that she knew as a Pi Beta Phi

Perhaps a daughter on her knee

Hears this lullabye

I hope and pray she'll be someday a girl of the Pi Beta Phi.

How many of us grew up hearing Pi Phi songs, seeing The ARROW in the mail, or dusting the angel collection of a Pi Phi relative. Legacies have a unique perspective on Pi Beta Phi.

As alumnae we have a responsibility to educate our legacy about the rush process and about Pi Beta Phi. We must encourage her to keep an open m ind and to pledge the chapter on her campus where she feels the most comfortable.

At the same time, we need to recognize that at some colleges and universities the number of legacies going through rush i well beyond the number of total women the chapter is able to pledge. A legacy should be a well-qualified rushee in her own right. And we must a lso be cognizant of t h e fact that our Pi Phi and Greek exper ience was at a different time and, possib ly, a diffe rent campus.

It is also of paramount importance that our chapters are well-educated on legacies and fraternity policies regarding them. A legacy is a daughter, granddaughter or sister of a member. The Fraternity urges its chapters to consider the heritage of Pi Beta Phi background as a great asset and to give careful consideration to legacies.

o The CMC shall inform the chapter of all rushees known to be legacies of Pi Phi.

@ A legacy shall be invited to at least one invitational round of rush parties.

@) A legacy who attends a preference party shall be placed on the first bid list.

It is imperative that our chapters know the Pi Phi legacies going through rush. Please inform the chapter where your Pi Phi legacy will be attending college by filling out a Legacy Introduction Form provided on page 32.

Arr o wm o nt Volunteers

Provide Essential Assistance

They are Arrowmont's squad of unsung workers who give the school hundreds of hours of their time each year. Known affectionately by the staff as "The Volunteers," they assist most often with the vital bulk mailings of spring and summer workshop brochures.

Arrowmont registrar Jodie Champoux, who is in charge of the computerized mailing lists, estimates that each year the school sends out 30,000 pieces of bulk mail for its spring and summer workshops, scholarship/assistantship applications, Children's Classes, Holiday Open House, and Friends of Arrowmont fund-raising.

by Cynthia Huff

Many of these mailings feature multiple elements that are collated, inserted and sealed in envelopes before the address labels are doggedly adhered.

The nucleus of Arrowmont's loyal volunteer force is Hazel Blain, Sid Foster, Harriet Gill, Marian Heard, Helen Anderson Lewis, and Bernice Stevens. Joining the ranks this past year were Ellen Badger, Jean Beal, Henrietta Huff, Doris Koechert, Dorothy Manley, and Jennifer Marrs.

Volunteers working exclusively in the Marian G. Heard Resource Center are Betty Moran and Bette Raymond who were asked by director Sandra Blain to standardize the library's cataloging system. For more than two years they have been cataloging new books, and as time permits, re-cataloging books alre::ldy in the stacks.

Hazel Blain is a retired florist who helps look after the school's many large indoor plants, and she also creates beautiful evergreen arrangements and

wreaths for the annual Holiday Open House. Harriet Gill is an accomplished weaver who helps Arrowmont keep its 23 floor looms in working order, and Golden Arrow Pi Phi, Helen Lewis is always available to act as hostess during Arrowmont's public receptions.

All of the volunteers are from Gatlinburg, Sevierville, or Knoxville, and about half are practicing artists. Fiber artist, Bette Raymond probably speaks for several when she says, "Working at Arrowmont keeps me in touch with what's new, with what's going on in the craft world." She says it vitalizes her own interests, and in short, Bette added, "I find it stimulating." Arrowmont is most appreciative of the volunteers and all that they do for the schoo!. Their energy and dedication is a constant reminder to the staff of the value of Arrowmont and of the inspiration it gives to so many people. Thank you, volunteers!

A Tribute to Adrienne H iscox Mitchell

b y E v ely n P e t e r s K y le

The office of the Grand Vice President of Philanthropies was established at the 1964 Convention in Victoria, British Columbia, as the result of the vote of the alumnae session "to develop an Arts and Crafts Center on Fraternity property in Gatlinburg" as the Centennial Project of the Fraternity.

Since its inception, there have been six Grand Vice Presidents of Philanthropies. I was the "pioneer" followed by Orpha O'Rourke Coenen, Sarah Holmes Hunt, Jean Wirths Scott, Jane Houchens Tuten and Adrienne Hiscox Mitchell and now Betty Blades Lofton. It is a challenging and interesting office.

The five previous Grand Vice Presidents felt that the alumnae needed an award recognizing our projects, and voted unanimously, selecting Arrowmont for recognition. As a result, beginning in 1993, there will be a traveling biennial award of a silver tray for the alumnae club determined to

This tray is in honor of Adrienne Hiscox Mitchell, who has demonstrated her creative ability, gift of wise judgement, dedication and devotion to Pi Beta Phi. There could be no better designation for this new award.

Arrowmont Plans National Clay

C o nfe r ence

Never an organization to rest on its laurels, Arrowmont was already planning a national clay conference before its highly successful basketry conference ended last October.

Organized by Arrowmont Assistant Director Bill Griffith, the clay conference takes place September 9-12, 1992, and will feature four days of activities addressing important issues related to utilitarian clay.

If you're wondering what artists who make utilitarian forms like to talk about when they get together, there will be demonstrations on decorating techniques, wheel thrown pots, slip casting, altering wheel thrown forms, making clay tiles, and the ever relevant topic of glaze chemistry.

Because potters making functional objects must always consider the user, there will be a panel discussion about the dynamics of useful objects and how they affect people. A highlight of the conference will be an exhibition assembled by the 14 conference presenters showcasing pieces by clay artists working with utilitarian forms.

The conference is open to potters and non-potters alike, to anyone with an interest in the subject. If you are a potter, or know someone who would be interested in attending the conference, more in formation may be obtained by writing Arrowmont School, P.O Box 567, Gatlinburg, TN 37738 or calling (615) 436-5860.

In the Spring 1992 issue, proper credit was not given to Betz almont whose work "Birth of a Basket" was purchased by Arrowmont from its "Basketry; From All Directions" exhibition and added to the school's permanent collection in 1991.

Clifford Family Endows Children's

Sch o lar shi p s

If you know Alumnae Province President Jan Clifford and husband Kevin, you know that children, education and creative arts are priorities in their lives and generosity is the Clifford family's way of life.

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation and the Arrowmont Board of Governors are pleased to announce the Jan and Kevin Clifford Scholarship Endowment for the Arrowmont Children's Program. The Clifford's generous gift to the Campaign for Arrowmont will endow a tuition- and material-free art program for several Sevier County, Tennessee children selected on the basis of need, merit and interest. The endowment fund include provi ions for advertising and exhibi-

Deferred

Giving

W i th In sur ance

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation provides va t opportunities for loyal members to help their fraternity in its mis s ion and als o to help themselves. One way is to give a deferred gift with a life insurance policy that can offer a future endowment to the Foundation.

Gifts can be either an existing life insurance policy or a new policy. It's s imple: one merely makes the Foundation both owner and beneficiary o f the po licy. The gift that you have made will equal the terminal reserve value of the policy furnished by the life insurance company. Thi s value is the a m o unt th a t yo u will use for yo ur inco me t a x deduction.

Yo u m ay co ntinu e pa y in g the premium s o r p ay up yo ur po li cy . M a n y tim es p eo pl e will h ave divid e nd s o n d epos it whi c h t h ey ca n use to h e lp pay up t h e po l icy.

tion co ts and the salary for a part time coordinator.

In their outreach from Cincinnati to Sevier County, Kevin and Jan say, "We chose the Arrowmont Children' Scholarship Program because of our belief in and support of the creative arts. As parents of three young children, we understand the importance of developing children's creativity . We believe in providing opportunities for children not only to develop their intellect, but to help them express their thoughts through their hands and their hearts."

"There is nothing more satisfying or endearing as Katie, age 8, and Mike, age 5, , howing off' what they did in art at school and Brian, age 3, attempting to keep up with his siblings when he pulls out his own crayons, makes some scribbles and shows us the 'circus' or 'airplane' or whatever he created "

Today, with most schools, public and private, cutting back on funds for creative arts curriculum, the Arrowmont program reaches a new

you an income tax deduction and a warm feeling from helping the organization that helped YOll. Of course, the face amount of the gift is substantially larger than if you simply gave the Foundation the cash representing the premium paid.

If you want to make the cost even less "out of pocket," consider using appreciated stock. I know of one case where a woman and her husband gave a foundation some stock which cost them $20,000 and had appreciated to $60,000 The foundation sold the stock and purchased and paid up a $487,000 life insurance po licy on her life. The couple took a tax deduction for a $60,000 donation on an original investment of $20,000 and gave the foundati o n a 487,000 endowment ! Many pe o ple prefer the life insura nce gift a ppro ach beca use it a ll ows them to definitely take ca re of th ose o rga niza ti o ns they lo ve M ost co ntinue making annu a l g ift s durin g th e ir life tim e.

Currently, a limited number of children ages 5 to 18 attend Saturday classes on the Arrowmont campus during the winter months Committed to continuing its tradition of educating children in the Gatlinburg/Smokey Mountain area, Arrowmont expects to meet the demand for an expanded art program for children through generous gifts like the Clifford Scholarship Endowment. Additional gifts to the children' art component of the campaign for Arrowmont will provide a children's resource center in Arrowmont's library, a traveling exhibition fund and an outreach program taking specialized art into the remote area schools.

Arrowmont shares Jan and Kevin's sentiments, "Whenever we can help others, we feel fortunate But when we can help or enrich the lives of children, it is particularly satisfying."

I personally feel very good abuut helping my fraternity because it has been a great influence on my life, giving me that "out of classroom" education, la ting friendships just an all-inall wonderful experience.

Before you make a life insurance gift, be sure to consult your accountant and/or attorney to make sure it is the right gift for you.

Pi Beta Phi involvement in Link s to Lit eracy continues to grow, with 100 co ll egiate c h apter and a lumnae clubs and numerous individua l Pi Phis now participating. About h a lf a re working with children and half are working with adu lts. Most are doing direct lit eracy service, in keeping with the purpose of Links to Literacy. Th e time spent in literacy activ iti es is making a difference in the li ves of those being served and in the liv es of the Pi Phis shari n g their time, talent and love of reading, writin g a nd ed uc ation.

The Toledo area Alumnae Club, along with Ohio Epsilon and Ohio Theta, created a nd sponso red a model Links to Literacy program entitled "An Evening of Reading ... Be a Winning Reader." Over seventy loca l third grade students, parents, teachers and school admin istrators joined the Pi Phis for dinner and six different reading activities. At the end of the evening, Superman was on hand to help the Pi Phis distribute medals and bookmark to the participants and to present the school with a "Win with Reading" poster and gift certificate to be use d toward the purchase of a very special book for the third grader. Although everal of the Madison, Wisconsin a lum s regularly volunteer their services in the literacy movement at sc hool libraries, with ESL education, and as a Braillist, the alum club has undertaken a year lo ng Pen Pal Project with a seco nd grade class at Madison' s Mendota Elementary School. President Elizabeth Aldrich MacKen:i, came up with the idea of a signing each child in her o n' class a Pen Pal from the alum club. Each month at meetings, Elizabeth deliver letters to alumnae from the children. The club member ' pend a few minute s writing their Pen Pal and Elizabeth delivers the letter back to the children. Te acher Peggy Moore and Hannah Diament-

Talmadge are delighted with the children's e nthu siasm for thi s writing project. In March, six a lum s visited the seco nd grade class, 0 they co uld meet and talk with their pen pals. Their writing ski ll s h ave prog ressed measurab ly and Pi Phis once aga in have formed new bonds of friendship. Thi s project is fun and easy to do.

The Valley of the Moon

California Alumnae Club is contributing to the Link to Literacy program by sett in g up a library in the pediatrics ward at Commun ity H osp ital in Santa R osa. Th e committee, he aded by Je an R ogers Fields, asked each member to bring a book to the Christmas luncheo n. The books were later wrapped in Christmas paper by Brook Bradley Leete and placed under a beautifully decorated tree at the hospital. The patients, as well as their visiting siblings, were given a book to take home. Each book is stamped with an angel, designed by Beverly Nelon Zahl, identifying the book as a gift from Pi Beta Phi. During the different holidays throughout the year, books will be wrapped in bright colored paper to be given away. The remaining books are displayed on book shelves in the li-

brary. The Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club will continue to stock the shelve s. Members may a lso sign up to read a lo ud to the chi ldren in the ward. A small table and chai r set h as been donated by Mary Ka hl e nberg Schroeder a nd Barbara Gould H offman.

After read ing an a rticle describing the evere l ibrary cutbacks that were occu rrin g at the University of Western Ontario, the Pi Phis decided to take action. The women of Ontario Beta decided to "adopt" a periodica l that was being cut due to lack of funding. The Pi Phis are encouraging the rest of the Greek ystem to follow suit, so that 40 periodicals will not be dropped from the libr a ry roster.

Pennsylvania Epsilons have made a strong effort to impl ement Links to Literacy into their chapter. By working with Mid-State Literacy, a vo lunt eer literacy organization located off campus, evera l Pi Phis have begun training programs to learn how to tutor illiterate ad ult s. After completing the ten hour training program, the Pi Phis will begin tutoring in the Fall of 1992. The Penn State Pi Phis have also spent hours in the library at Mid-State, helping to organize thousands of book.

Conn ec ticut Alpha Pi Phis enjoyed writing books with first grade students from a local school for a Links to Literacy project. To celebrate the completion of their books, the first graders and the Pi Phis attended the Pi Beta Phi Spring Scholarship Awards Banquet on the University of Connecticut campus. The first graders were given awards and a tour of the University by Connecticut Alpha s.

On Fridays four N ew J ersey Alpha s go to a local nursery school to read stories to groups of children age two to six. Half the fun is selecting the books. Karen Gou ld and H eather Patrick, co-chairs of the Philanthropy Interest Group have compiled a master list, with the assistance of the Director of Children's Services at the Princeton Public Library. In choosing what they want to read, Pi Phis convey their own excitement about the books they loved when they were young, instilling the same enthusiasm for reading in the children at the nursery. Encouraging children to like reading at a young age is one of the most important steps in combating illiteracy.

Illinois Zeta 's involvement in Links to Literacy is two-fold. Weekly, chapter members provide administrative services for The Reading Group, a local organization which assists children with learning disabilities . Every week, the women from the University of Illinois Chapter also read to children at the Yankee Ridge Elementary School as part of the SHARE (Share A Readin g Experience) program.

Missouri Alphas went all out in their Pi Phis for Literac y Campaign in November of last year. They spent two weeks promoting literacy throughout the city of Columbia, Missouri sponsoring a different activity each day. On

the first Monday, the Pi Phis invited Karen Howell from the Columbia Adult Education Center to speak about literacy in Columbia. The following Sunday, Pi Phi alumnae brought their children to the chapter house on the University of Missouri campus, and the Missouri Alphas read tories to them. Tuesday, the women went to Grant Elementary School and visited different classes, reading books and emphaizing the importance of reading. The ch ildren even received "Pi Ph is for Literacy" stickers with little angels on them to wear home to show their parents.

During the Spring of 1992 Washington Alpha held a fund-raiser for Links to Literacy. The money raised went to a school for homeless children for their literacy program. The school used the money to buy books. Literacy workshops in which Washington Alphas went to a school for the homeless to read to the children and help them learn how to read were also held

After having added Links to Literacy as one of their philanthropies, C alifornia Lambda has taken a majo r step to help the children of Riverside County. Since the 1990-91 school year, the Pi Phis from the University of California at Riverside have been tutoring the children of Highlander Elementary School. A great number of Pi Phis volunteer 1-2 hours per week at the school.

Two K e ntu c k y Alph a Pi Phis, Tiffany Fenwick and Vara McGraw, visited a loca l elementary school to promote the importance of reading and education. The sc h ool selected community role models to read their favorite books to the children. After the books were read, everyone discussed why reading was so important. By shar-

New Mexico Alphas held a book drive and donated all books collected to the Albuquerque Battered Women's Shelter. The project culminated with the donation presentation w hile t h e Gran d Vice Presid ent o f Ph il an t hrop ies B etty Bla d es Lofton was visiting t h e Un ivers i ty of New M exico Ch apte r From th e left: E llen Nea l , B etty L ofton, K e ndra Merritt, Nikayla Nail (shelter di. r ector) Cath y C h ainey, J ennifer Larson an d K arin Reisinger.

ing their belief in the purp ose of education , these Pi Phi s m ay hav e influenced young children to stay in sc h oo l a nd to read more . Ohio Ze ta s at Miami University recently sponsored a "Book Party" at Kramer Elementary School in Oxford. They went to a third grade class for two weeks and read stories to get the class exci ted about reading. The chapter then had a pa r ty for the children. Each child received a free book.

Louisiana Betas at Louisiana State University expanded their l iteracy program by reading to first grade children residing throughout the Baton Rouge, Louisiana community. In conjunction with the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, Pi Phis visited ten first grade classrooms this past spring to read stories to the children and to explain to them how to apply for a library card in order to check out books

Kentuck y Gammas are working for Project Read, which is a non-profit organization which helps illiterate adults in the area around Eastern Kentucky University

Conn ec ticut B e tas at Yale University dedicated a semester to the Volvo Tennis Program which aims at helping inner-city youths with writing and reading skills by sponsoring creative writing classes and encouraging children to keep thought books and diaries.

California Kappa members at the University of California at San Diego have been volunteering their time as tutors at Doyle Elementary School as a part of an all-Greek community outreach program. Pi Phi s work on a one-on-one basis with students, teaching anything from reading to basic m a th skills.

International, a new, privately owned facility staffed by a Canadian doctor and an Irish nurse. A 45-minute cab ride in the early morning traffic took us to a spotles clinic. As the doctor was preparing to administer an antibiotic

so luti o n intravenous ly , he sa id , "Do you know what's happened today? Gorbachev is deposed I"

W e were dumbfounded. "Who's in charge?" I asked.

"Nobody knows," aid the doctor.

"Th e c it y's so quiet."

" [t' s way too quiet," h e rep li ed.

As the ca rs sat grid locked, [ counted 37 tanks, followed by armored personnel vehicles, then camouflaged trucks, jeeps and othe r military equipment. Afte r 45 minute, traffic began to move. Every cross treet was b locked by tanks poised wit h their can n ons pointed out towa rd the main thoroughfare.

Reviewing the Restoration of Holt House Furnishings

Often when Pi Phis come together one of us will say, "Remember when ... " and a shared story from our Pi Phi "memory book" is recalled and shared again. The story all Pi Phis cherish is the account of our beginnings. How fortunate we are to be able to visit the scene and relive those events which led to the founding of the first national college fraternity for women.

The story of how Holt House was restored and has been preserved has many chapters. Correspondence from our archives reveals the extraordinary effort and many hours the original Holt House committee devoted to finding appropriate furnishings. Museums and antique shops were visited; basements and attics were searched; decorators consulted and many letters were written before each important decision was made. Each item was required to be historically correct for the period and suitable for group entertaining.

HotHouse

by Alice Gill Goshorn

It seem s that nearly every item in Holt Hou se was given by an individual, a club, or a chapter-by both Pi Phis and others interested in Holt House and its story. Past issues of The ARROW recount stories of the many gifts that furnish our Holt House: the Alice Hyde portraits of the Founders, the wax figurines, the Holt family portraits, and more recently, the Pi Phi rocker and the Steinway piano--to name only a few.

As a new member of the Holt House Committee, I have enjoyed searching out the "stories" of Holt House and its furnishings. One unusual piece intrigues me, but I have been unable so far to find out how it came to be at Holt Hou e . In the Historical Room upstairs in a comer next to the case with the 12 wax dolls, one finds a settee on rockers with a removable guardrail extending acro s the front. This ingenious piece of furniture was conceived so that a mother or a nurse could accomplish some sit-down chores while the baby was being rocked safely enclosed in the fenced-in area. This painted and hand-stenciled bench known as a Hitchcock settle, or mammy's bench, is dated at about 1830

in "A Walk Through Holt H o use ." In a d es cripti o n o f H o lt H o use furni hing ent to chapter and alumnae club pre s ident s in September 1945, Elva Ayler Cowan, Publicity Board Chairman, refers to the bench as one of the furnishings in the Pine Room.

In order to satisfy my curio ity and, more importantly, to complete a chapter of our story, I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can supply information about how this rare piece came to Holt House. Write to me at my address R. R. 5 Box l19K, Franklin, Indiana 46131 or c/o Central Office.

As you make your summer travel plans, remember that a brief detour off Interstates 80, 74 or 34 will take you to Holt H ouse (402 East First Avenue, Monmouth, Illinois 309/734 3988) . Hostess Margaret Cooper will be happy to help you recall your favorite Holt House story.

The Hitchcock settle, popularly called "mammy's bench," produced from 1818 to 1852. Lambert Hitchcock produced furniture in a large factory in Hitchcock, Conn. (now Riverton, Conn.) Pictured in the Historical Room of Holt House.

Pi Beta Phi Ritual Study Committee Reports

The Pi Beta Phi ritual rec ited today by clubs a nd chap t e rs is the same one as that adapted by Anna H azelton almo t o n e hundred yea rs ago, in 1893. Throughout the intervening year, questions regarding the ritual have been raised from time to time, primarily by undergraduate members. In 1971 , A Ritual a nd Ce rem on ie s Study Co mmittee was appo inted by Grand Co uncil to discover the wishes of the membership regarding ritu a l and cerem o nies. At the conclusion of that study, the delegates at the 1975 Convention voted to keep the ritual as adapted in 1893. At the 1991 Convention the subject was raised again when the delegate for the Connecticut Beta Chapter at Yale University introduced a motion to explore the need for a revised Fraternity ritual. Following discussion, the motion was adopted by the delegates, and Grand Council subsequently appointed a Ritual Study Committee to undertake a study of the need.

The Committee cons ists of eight members, four alumnae and four collegians, from chapters and clubs in different geograph ical areas. The four co ll egiate members and their chapters are Gwen Bloomsburg, Idah o Alpha (Univers it y of Idaho); Amy Crouch, Tex as Zeta (Baylor University); Annie Martin, Florid a Beta (Florida tate University); and Claire treibert, Connecticut Beta (Yale University). The four alumnae memhers, their chapte rs and club areas are Liz Anne Greer Allen, Georgia Alpha (University of Georgia), Nashville; the

Th e full committee gathe red together in Centra l Office on a weekend in Febru ary a nd quickly discovered h ow Jiverse the y a re in their pe rceptions of the ritu a l. Th ey a lso found a richness in this diversity which they believe is repre se ntative of the Pi Phi s of today.

To determine how today's Pi Phi regard the ritual, the committee spent the weekend developing a method for surveying the membership and tabulating the results for a report to the 1993 Convention. A questionnaire entitled the 1992 Pi Beta Phi Ritual Study Survey was created and a copy ent to a ll chapters, clubs, pockets, carnation circles and junior groups. The questionnaire is to be duplicated so eac h member can complete her own, preferably after discu sion during a meeting set aside for that purpose. The committee is anx ious to receive the opinions of as many Pi Phis as possible, and believes that discussion of the ritual and its purpose within a club or chapter setting will enhance a thoughtful reponse.

Included with the mailing of the questionnaire is a letter to the president of the club or chapter explaining the reas on for the survey, guidelines for conducting the survey at a meeting of the membership, background infonna-

tion o n the ritual, and a S urv ey Su mm ary form. Thi s form is to be filled in by an ad hoc committee of the chapter o r club appointed for the so le purpose of cond ucting the survey with the membership. The Survey form itself con ists of four questions about the ritual in general, and then lists a variety of "options" regarding the future of the ritual. These options run the gamut from making no changes at a ll to writin g an entirely new ritu a l. Members a re to indicate which op ti on or opt io n s they prefer.

Anyone who is not in a club area and wishes to comp lete a Ritual Study Survey should write to Pi Beta Phi Cent ra l Office for a copy. A member who is unable to attend the club meeting at which the survey is conducted may either obtain a copy from her club or contact Central Office. Comp leted surveys must be returned to Centra l Office by October 1, 1992, in order to be considered in the final report.

Requests for a copy of the 1992 Ritual Study Survey form hould be addressed as follows:

The Ritu a l tudy Committee i aware that the Pi Beta Phi ritual can be a sensitive, even emotional issue. It is the Committee's hope that the Survey will be approached in as dispassionate a manner as pos ihle, with discussion and contemplation taking place in an atm osp here of true sisterhood.

I was delighted and surprised to find in the recent 125th Anniversary Issue of the Pi Phi ARROW a picture of my mother and aunt (Winter 1991 issue, page 4). They were both member of the Colorado Alpha Chapter.

The date should be circa 1900 as my mother was born in 1880 and was twenty when she g raduated.

My m o ther, who was Margaret Ram ey (Coulter) is pictured in the lowest left hand row at the far end. Her ister, Ann Ramsey (Burrington), is pictured standing at the farthest right hand end of the second row.

My daughter Page Gilbert-Baenen is a member of Washington Alpha Pi Phi but her two daughters both attended non-Greek colleges. However, I h ave one more granddaughter who wi ll be entering college soon. I am h op ing the Pi Phi tradition will not be broken.

As an active Pi Beta Phi for two years at Boston University in 1922-23, I think I paid $25.00 for a life membership.

I received the Spring 1992 ARROW and have to wr ite to te ll you, this edition is worth all of that $25.00!

I tran ferred from Boston University after two years to another college because of the professional courses I wanted to have. In the 70 years s ince then, I have had very little connection with the chapter I left, which has also gone now- but I have been to Gatlinburg twice Once in 1926 and once in later years when I was married. The changes there were remarkable.

My later and I guess last contact with Pi Phi was the last four or five years when my neighbor from an Indiana chapter was one of my best friends. Unfortunately she has just died at 87- a year younger than I am.

My reason for writing now:

Congratulations on The ARROW and Jane Bryant Quinn. I have long admired her financial wisdom and am proud to know he is a Pi Phi.

And a ll this for my 25.00 life membership 70 years ago. You can't beat that for a bargain.

Thank yo u so very much for the feature article on spend in g in Th e ARROW Spring 1992 is s ue. You r co ndensation of Jane Bryant Quinn's excellent book on money management gave the essence of her advice and whet my appetite to read the entire book. I am so glad you chose this as a feature article. It is an extremely timely topic. I think it is very important fo r ou r young people graduating from college t o begin a "spending plan" immediately. All women need to set financial goals and learn how to make their money or spendable inc ome work for them, instead of the other way around.

This article was very timely for our family since two of our three d a ughters have just recently entered the work fo rce after college and our son will be graduating from college soon al o. I plan to get a copy of this book for each of our four children so they can see th e benefits of sound money management early. What a great graduat ion gift this would make for college students, and for high school students who are not p lanning to go on to college a well.

I also want to thank you for introducing our Pi Phi s isters to a very successfu l woman who ope rates in a predominate ly ma le career field. Jane Bryant Quinn is an excellent role model for our career minded daughters. I hope you will continue to spotlight successful siste rs in a variety of careers in The ARROW. My youngest daughter is in college but is ve ry frustrated in m a king a career choice. Future articles o n careers may help ot her young women who are experiencing the same quandary.

Thank you again for your excellent choice of a feature article.

I am a member of the Ohio Epsilon Chapter at the University of Toledo. On behalf of the chapter, I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given us during the terrible tragedy of losi ng o ur si ter, Meli a Anne Herstrum. It ha been a very difficult time, and I cannot even hegin to exp re ss how much we appreciate the warmth and caring we have seen from Pi Beta Phi chapters across the United States.

Th is means so much to us because Melissa was such a beautiful person,

both inside and out. We all feel blessed that we were ab le to be touched by her, if for on ly the hort time that we knew Melis a. Being a nursing student, she wa always interested in helping o thers. Her ge nuine caring also shone through in her dedication to Pi Phi. Now, we would like to do something for her, so that she will always be remembered. T o do th is, the Ohio Epsilon Chapte r at the University of T o led o, a lo ng with our Alumnae Advisory Committee, is establishing an endowment to fund an annual scholars hip in Melissa' s memory.

We thank you again for all the support and caring you have shown us over the past months. Melissa will forever be remembered as our true Pi Beta Phi angel.

To tho e on the Pi Beta Phi Scholar hip Committee, I want to expres my deepest appreciation for the Pi Beta Phi Scho larship for which I have been selected. I cannot express to you in words how much this scho larship means to me and how much it will help me financially. To receive aid from Pi Beta Phi means a lot to me, because it i a true example of sisterhood- of ters supporting si ters in all different ways- of sisters bing there to help and to lend a hand whenever needed.

I am very proud to be a Pi Beta Phi of the Virginia Eta Chapter at the University of Richmond and to be a part of such an awesome s isterhood.

The Pi Beta Phi Friendship iltA Design for Future

by Ann Denker Webster

Nearly o ne year ago, the Pi Beta Phi 125th Anniversary Committee presented two ideas for the celebration of this sig nificant milestone. The first decision involved choosing a logo to use during this spec ial year. A graphic design based on a Pi Phi theme quilt designed by San Diego Pi Phi quilter Nancy Skelton Johnson was selected . This design was featured on the Winter ARROW cover and throughout that issue. Th e second decision was to continue thi quilt motif by issuing an invitation to the alumnae clubs to join in this celebration by making signature blocks for a Pi Beta Phi Friendship Quilt to be presented to the Fraternity at the 1993 Convention in Orlando, Fl o rida.

Friend ship quilts were very popular during the live s o f our Founders. Friendship quilts may be a ppliqued and pieced with the express purpose of being given away as a special record of friendship, therefore signed by the donor who often included an appropriate me ssage, and so it is with this s ing ular gift from the alumnae clubs.

How would the clubs respond to this invitation? It was unknow n With a nticip atio n and trepidation the invitations were mailed. The great suspense wa les ened when welcomed phone calls began to come with questions. Many people were interested in this quilt, enthusia tic and happy with the whole idea.

The qui lt deadline was March 1, with the first block arriving on Febru ary 6 from the Tul sa, Oklahoma

Th e quilt block from the Gre e n Valle y, Arizona Carnation Circle. Th e friend s hip quilt , when fini shed , will be presented to the Fraternity at th e 199 3 Con ve n tion in Orland o, Florida.

Alumnae Club. On the deadline, 88 squares had arrived with almost as many arriving just afterward. Many blocks were accompanied by letters or notes giving the story of the embellishments and other interesting sidelines to the creation of their swa tch. Each piece of correspondence was re ad with app reci atio n and saved to go into the written history of the quilt. Binky Calder of the Manchester, New York Alumnae Club wa one of the first to write, cheering us immensely with her eagerness to be a part of the whole process. Another note from the Brazos Valley Club in Texas said that the

quilt was working bringing people together and forming friend ship s. The news of the endeavor in The ARROW prompted Connie Turner Hester, a nationally known quilter, to volunteer to do the Braz os Valley Alumnae Club's block and t o pay her dues in the process. There were ot her experienced quilters at work but more usual were tho e whose sewi ng experience is very limited. Roberta Cleland Mclntyre of the Maryland-DC Suburban Alumnae Club was one of the latter. After receiving the first "c" in her life in a 9th grade home economics sewing class, she lost intere st in serious sewing. But

she rose to the challenge of the quilt and with the guidance of a friend, made a block which she hoped stacked up with the rest- it did. Some blocks, as with Roberta's, were the creation of one person, while others had several people working on different stages of the piece. On the Naples block, one member made the block and another's husband lettered it.

Everyone was encouraged to add something to personalize their block in add ition to signing the club name. The results are lovely and as varied as the fabric patterns and colors used. In only a few cases are fabric patterns repeated by more than one club.

The closing speech at the 1969 Pasadena Convention, given by then Grand President Dorothy Weaver Morgan, was honored by using the title, "Down to the Roots, Up to the Stars" on the Seattle block. The Central Pennsylvania group remembered Dr. Mary Bartol Theiss, who wrote the lyrics to "Speed Thee My Arrow" as well as many other songs in the Fraternity song book. The Houston Alumnae Club celebrated their Links To Literacy project, the Pi Beta Phi Children's Library at Texas Children's Hospital. Nashville remembered their Christmas Village, and Minneapolis their Nay Market. Others used objects typical or symbolic of their town such as a palm tree, cowboy hat, dogwood blossom, mountain, orange, peach, sailboat or an oil well. Liberty Hall and the Golden Gate bridge were even included. This is a mere sampling of the themes, by no means inclusive of all of them. Pi Phi concepts such as arrows, angels, carnations and sayings near and dear to each of us were used. The quilt will reflect the individuality, diversity and thoughts of our membership in a beautiful way.

A small sampling of the mail reo ceived by Ann Webster. The pack. ages contained quilt blocks from different clubs across the continent.

Joan Reynolds has begun sewing blocks together after we arranged and rearranged the blocks into groupings of four. We looked for colors and patterns which went together well, enhancing the best of each. Nancy Skelton Johnson made a Grand Council block and one has been made for the Founders too. The finished quilt will be about 85"by 105" wide. The sashing between each group of four will be an unbleached muslin with a small print all over white print of carnations.

Over and over, have come requests to see the finished quilt. It will be on display at the 1993 Orlando Convention for those who attend to see and to photograph. At this writing, the committee who will plan the arrangement and sewing of the blocks has not met but will in the near future.

Many have hoped that when it is finished, it can travel. Another thought is that it would be the alumnae equivalent of the collegiate banners unveiled at the St. Louis Convention There will be a photo of the finished project in The ARROW in a future issue It has been a rare treat to see the blocks come in, to talk to so many of you, and to read your letters. People have been quite helpful. Baltimore sent two blocks so there would be a choice Stillwater, Oklahoma sent two 1!!I!!!!!iiI"" also, but one had a blank signature piece which may be used to even up or fill

To all of you wh o have worked on the Pi Beta Phi Friendship Quilt, know that you are appreciated and thanked. Please send the names of the people who worked on your block to Ann Webster (2667 C. Prado, La Jolla, CA 92037) even if you think the information has been provided previously. It will be included in a written history of the quilt to be submitted to the Fraternity' archives .
