The Arrow of Pi Beta Phi-Summer-2005

What are we g behind?

Recently on a hiking trail, I enco untered a sign which made me chuckle - "Take only pictures - Leave only footprints .. ." As I hiked back to the beginning of the trail I couldn't stop thinking about the sign. Several days later it was still on my mind. Since that day I've asked myself many times - What footprints do Pi Phis leave behind?

"Servant leadership," coined in 1970 by Robert Greenleaf, is a leadership model that puts serving the needs of others as the number one priority. As an organization, Pi Phi embraces servant leadership.

Grand President

Emily Russell Tarr

Servant leadership is a shift away from autocratic and h ierarchical models of leadership, and is an approach based on teamwork, comm unity in volvement, personal development of others, and ethical and caring beh avior.

Servant leaders h ip crosses all boundaries. Today it is ado pted by a wide variety of organizations including universities, foundations, other nonp rofits, Southwest Airlines, and Starbucks. We are in good company!

As we walk through life these are the footpri nts that Pi Phi servant leaders will leave beh in d:

• Listen intently to others

• Recognize people & accept them for their unique qualities

• View situations from a holistic viewpoint

• Help to make others "whole"

• Dream impossible dreams

• Convince & persuade others rather than using coercion

• Understand the consequences of decisions

• Build community through collaboration and consensus

• Commit to aiding the personal growth of others

• Hold the organization in trust for others

• Serve the needs of others - not only in Pi Phi but in the society at large

As we hike the trail of life, I hope you will join me in realizing that life is about what you give rather than what you get.

CLEARING THE HAZE

I am writing on behalf of the women of the Indiana Epsilon Chapter of Pi Beta Phi. After receiving the most recent Arrow, we were very upset to read the misleading story concerning sorority hazing. In the article , "Jessica's Story," Jessica Zimmerman's mother speaks about her daughter's personal struggles with sorority hazing at DePauw University.

As both students and , more importantly, Pi Beta Phi members of DePauw University, we were appalled at the ambiguous writing within the article. The article never mentioned that Jessica was NOT a member of the Indiana Epsilon Chapter here at DePauw. The article was written in a very unethical and unjournali s tic manner. We understand th at sorority h azi ng is an important co n ce rn for all Panhellenic women; however, there was no need to di stinguish her university.

The women of the Indiana Epsilon Chapter have never

permitted hazing of any form and will never sanction such actions.

I would like to thank you, your staff, and especially NEW MEXl cO BETA ANN COOMBES GOODMAN for composing such a comprehensive and powerful article on hazing. As a Panhellenic adviser and member of an NPC organization, I often find it difficult to explain to chapter members why certain events or activities they have done for years , or consider tradition, are clearly instances of hazing. This article not only helps me form a more concrete definition of hazing to use in my professional career, but it enables collegians to understand what hazing is, how to recognize it and how to prevent it.

FROM THE

READER

Pi Beta Phi pride knows no bounds. I was proud that PAM ELA PITZER WILLEFORD, TEXAS ALPHA , was ambassador to Switzerland and Lichtenstein and also that CATHERINE TODD BAILEY, INDlANA ALPHA, is now ambassador to Latvia. In the same issue there was an article about the Tennessee Governor, Phil Bredesen, visiting Arrowmont. The fall issue of The Arrow featured an article , "GO VOTE ' 04 ," in which KAy BAILEY H UTC HI SON, TEXAS ALPHA , was a spokesperson. How could someone want to diminish a young Pi Phi 's pride in her father? CATE EDWARDS, NEW JERSEY ALPHA, pictured with her father, vice presidential ca ndidate John Edwards, at the Democratic National Convention was mo st appropriate. It would trul y dimini sh The Arrow if all the aforementioned people were left out of our Arrow

because someone felt they were political Thank you for featuring all interest ing Pi Phi's.

JOYCE KEEFER MURDO CK

SURPRISE, AZ

I respectfully disagree w ith the letter stating that " Political based subjects do not belong in our na tional magazine. " I was interested to learn that CATE EDWARD S, a Pi Phi alumni, was involved in her father's political campaign for P resident and eventually Vice President. My interest in her achievements has nothing to do w ith my be ing Re publican or Democrat, but in our sharing Pi Phi bonds . Our magazine should celebrate the ach ievements of our collegians and alumnae, even if their political affiliations disagree with our own. Please continue with these stories, let our young collegians see the many positive , diverse role models that exist for our Pi Phi women. As long as The Arrow does not endorse anyone po litical party or movement, then I see no conflict As a point of fact, one of our most beloved Pi Phis, IOWA GAMMA CARRI E CHAPMAN CATT, not only founde d the League of Women Voters , but was instrumental in the movement , which was very unpopular at the time , that eventually allowed women the right to vote. We have a history of creating women who are involved in politics, and that should be celebrated!

ILLINOIS IOTA COLUMBIA, MO

Years ago, I was ple ase d to open up a copy of The Arrow, where I found a prominently displaye d picture of Republican KAy BAILEY HUTCHISON surro unded by a number of women whom I know and admire. The occasion for the picture was Ms. Hutch ison 's swearing-in ceremony.

I felt great pride that the first woman to represent my home state in the Senate was a fellow Pi Phi. My pride was not diminished by the fact that I am also a proud Democrat.

As I watched Cate introduce her mother at the Democratic National Convention, I was impressed with both the substance of her remarks, and the poise with which she delivered them. Later, I saw and heard her speak in person at an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I was again impressed with her charm and composure before such a large audience Until I saw her picture in The Arrow, I didn't know she was a Pi Phi. We should all be proud of strong, intelligent alumnae who represent us well in positions of public visibility.

PI PHIS SPREAD CHEER

As a military wife for nearly 40 years, (my husband is General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), I was happy and proud as a Pi Phi to see the article about the Fraternity sending 10 holiday cards to each chapter for members to sign and mail to troops serving overseas" Pi Phis Spread Holiday Cheer. "

As evidenced in responses received by the ch apters, your initiative warmed the hearts of many of our brave men and women in uniform who were away from their friends and families during the holidays! These men and women in service to their country make many personal sacrifices while putting themselves in harm's way. Knowing that the American people appreciate and support them means so much and is all the thanks they need. Your cards gave them the best gift of Christmas - your message of caring, support and thanks!

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

I just received the Spring 2005 issue of The Arrow. I found it to be very informative. However, I think if we are going to consider ourselves a premier force in women's education and leadership, our magazine needs to reflect that scholarship and attention to detail.

The article on PAMELA PITZER WILLEFORD contains two spelling errors and some bizarre punctuation.

Thanks for considering the concerns of those who try valiantly to maintain the integrity of our language!

IF FACED WITH EVIL

Every day we are bombarded by newspaper articles and broadcasts that make our skin crawl. Yes, we know evil is out there, but it's human nature to tell ourselves it targets others, not ourselves or those we love.

We're deluding ourselves. In the last decade, two collegian members, MISSOURl BETA MELISSA APTMAN and KANSAS ALPHA ALEXANDRA KEMP, were violently attacked and murdered.

"The chance that a family member will be murdered seems remote: one in a million," says Dr. Michael Aptman. "Yet , in 1995 , my daughter Melissa was murdered during a carjacking. Since then, my wife Lynn and I have been living every parent's worst nightmare. In the instant it took to fire one bullet, an act of unprovoked violence transformed my life from one

I thought was perfect into one that will forever be tainted by her death.

"I was mistaken to believe that I could live an isolated existence with my family and protect them from the world," Dr. Aptman says. "No one can build walls high enough or thick enough to keep out the evils of society. It would seem reasonable for a family like ours to hope that two generations of the family would be able to share at least 30 years together before a member of the older generation died. That is the natural order of things . Unfortunately, the likelihood that, during that time, a stranger will kill someone in that family approaches one in a hundred , not one in a million. "

Roger and Kathy Kemp know this nightmare all too well. Their 19-

ILL

year-old daughter Ali was murdered in 2002 at the suburban Kansas City pool, where she was employed for the summer.

This cover story is not written to scare, but rather to inform. And tell how the memory of Melissa and Ali lives on with messages of hope, education and empowerment.

Independently, the families of both woman have set up foundations in efforts to prevent similar tragedies from befalling other innocent victims.

" In 1996 , I helped establish the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment of its Victims ," says Dr. Aptman. " Its mission is to bridge the gap between scientific investigation and the practical application of research findings. " Initially working with professionals in

Miami, th e institut e has expanded nationally to New York and other cities.

For example , the Melissa Institute has sponsored an annual conference on aspects of violence prevention for professionals , supported a youth conference on bullying, trained middle school faculty and students in violence prevention curriculum and offered scholarships to support doctoral students research dissertations in the field of violence prevention. "Because some 85 percent of juvenile offenders are illiterate , the Institute is committed to improving student and family literacy through consultation, improvement of existing programs and other initiatives ," says Dr. Aptman.

While the Melissa Institute focuses on preventing violence, Roger and Kathy Kemp have started The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation , which provides scholarships and offers women self-protection classes. Participants learn to avoid danger, as well as how to defend themselves in violent situations.

Shortly after Ali's death , Roger Kemp contacted the John son County Park & Recreation Di strict in Shawnee Mission, Kansas , for assistance and guidance in starting the classes. The resulting program is named T.A.KE. Defen se Training, and the acronym is derived from "The Ali Kemp Educational " Foundation " If we can save one girl 's life, it will be worth it ," Roger says.

Johnson County Park and Recreation District employee Jill Leiker, who is a 6th Degree Black Belt, helped develop the program by incorporating law enforcement resources and other existing selfdefense programs.

Jill is now the executive director ofT.A.KE. Defense Training and she teaches the classes with her husband Bob

The first T.A.KE. Defense Training class

Target an Attacker's 7 Most Vulnerable Areas

was held in January 2004 and they have trained approximately 3,300 women. (See the article on pages 10-11 for photos and a personal viewpoint of a class at Vanderbilt University.)

"If I could send one message to women, it would be to take a self defense class now and at least every other year after that," Jill says. "It is important for women to feel the empowerment that a well taught and well rounded course can give them."

The classes she and Bob teach use reality based training. It teaches participants how to respond in a systematic way under stressful situations. Participants take turns role-playing so they can practice the correct responses.

" It is not about standing toe-totoe with a bad guy," explains Jill. " It is about hitting a soft target area on the bad guy and getting away. We tell our women it is all about going home at night to those you love. "

Women are generally programmed to be the nurturing sex, so aggressive responses do not come naturally. It requires a different mindset.

"We realize it is not nice to think about poking someone in the eye, but if someone is attacking you, they have no regard for you or for your family," says Jill. "You have to get away. "

Tips to Consider: .

• Replace locks when you move to a new house or apartment. You have no idea who lived there before or who might have the key.

• Always remember to lock your doors and windows.

• Close your garage door when you are home to eliminate entry by criminals. Many homes fail to have a lock on the door leading from the garage to the house. Once the attacker is in the garage and you close the door you dose out any view of what might be happening.

• Replace burned out porch lights and garage lights immediately.

• Always walk with someone as most muggers and other attackers will be discouraged if you have a male or female companion.

• Never leave keys to your home with car keys when your car is left with a parking lot attendant or a service station employee. They could be duplicated in your absence to be used by an attacker at a later date.

• Never ignore that little voice that tells you something does not feel right. Listen to yourself and call law enforcement if you feel uncomfortable.

• Always let someone know your route and your daily plans. If something happens to you, your loved ones should know where to start to look for you.

• Take a self defense class now and at least every other year to rekindle your awareness and practice techniques that could save your life.

Tips were provided by Jill Leiker, executive director of the T.A.KE. Defense Training.

How WILL YOU REACT?

T.A.KE. Defense Training teaches simple effective techniques so women can disable an assailant long enough to make a break for safety. "We are not teaching women karate. We are teaching them crazy."

Jill defines crazy fighting as striking hard and fast with whatever it takes to get away. "If women find themselves in a situation where they have to fight back, we want them to fight back with conviction. "

For example, if an aggressor attacks a woman from the front, she can use her thumbs to gouge his eyes; strike up at his nose with the flattened palm of her hand; kick her foot or lift her knee into his groin, or jab her elbow into his face.

What can a woman do if she is grabbed from behind? T.A.KE. Defense Training students learn there are lots of options. She can use the back of her head to butt his face; pivot and bring her elbow into his solar plexus or nose; kick him in the groin; or drop her body to lower her center of gravity. If he grabs around the shoulders , as she drops down , she can spread her elbows to try and break free.

Most people have experienced "jelly legs " after a frightening experience. This is caused by the rush of adrenaline which can actuall y ca use a person to fr eeze in th eir tr ac ks But proper training, such as that used in reality based role playing , can help women use the power of adrenaline to their advantage. In essence they train , or re-program their brains , to react

in a way th a t is appropri at e for th e s itu ation. And , th e adrenalin e ge n era t ed by fear can be tapp ed into and used as a fuel fo r fight or fli gh t

Th e women are also taught to avoid conflict b y heightening th eir se n se of awarene ss . Of course thi s includ es common safety tip s like tho se found in th e blue box on page 8 , but it go es on e step furth er. Women are en couraged to tun e in to the cues th at can signal danger One of the mo st valuabl e cu es is a person's inner voi ce th a t shouts th a t som ething is wron g.

Kansas City Area Monmouth Duo Raises Funds

More than 200 members of Kansas City/ Shawnee Mission area Pi Beta Phis and Kappa Kappa Gammas found a unique way to celebrate Monmouth Duo this year. They hosted a fundraiser for the Ali Kemp Educational Foundation.

Roger Kemp, Ali's father, provided the women with self defense tips. Executive Director ofT.A.K.E. Defense Training Jill Leiker and her husband Bob demonstrated several safety maneuvers.

"One of the strongest points they kept emphasizing was to never let your attacker transport you to another location. If you do, your chance of survival reduces dramatically," relayed MISSOURI

ALPHA JEANNE TAYLOR COCKAYN E, chairman of the event.

The Pi Phi Planning Committee included, from the left, Montana Alpha Sally Spradling Stuart, Wisconsin Beta Barbara Herrin Rolander, Oklahoma Beta Linda Richey Graves, Jeanne Cockayne, and Texas Alpha Eugenia Francis Hovey.

Each attendee received a safety brochure from the Foundation. At press time , the Foundation had received more than $1 ,785 in donations , and more contributions are expected

Susan Reiff Brown attended with her daughters Molly Rathbone Dreiling, center, and Susannah Rathbone. All are Kansas Alphas.

VANDERBILT GREEK WOMEN IN T END

Story by SARAH DYMOWSKI , TENNESSEE BETA

Photos by BRIANNA JORDAN, TENNESSEE BETA

" Looks like we missed the memo about wearing pink," Tennessee Beta Katie Knoedelseder whispered to me as we sat on the bleachers waiting for the program to begin. As 1 looked down at my black and gold "Go Greek!" shirt and her bright yellow Pi Phi in Paradise tee and then out at the sea of light pink surrounding us, 1 realized she was right.

While it may not have been clear to the passersby who looked through the gym windows why pink was the color of choice for the evening, each of the 150 girls in the room knew that this subtle symbol of women's power and strength meant a great deal.

The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation came to Vanderbilt University last March to teach sorority members self-defense moves and safety lessons. The main instructor Jill Leiker stressed the importance of self-protection, or in other words, how to avoid being the victim of an attack and what to do if do you find yourself to be a victim. Awareness , boundary setting, and combat skills were all part of the two-hour lesson that was meant to keep girls like us from finding ourselves in situations similar to the on e in which Ali unfortunately found herself.

The program focused on reality based training , which are exer-

cises that place women in stressful situations similar to ones they may encounter in real life.

Facing a partner, pretending she is either the victim or the attacker, we were taught the three levels of alert: yellow, orange, and red , and what to do if presented with each one. We learned and practiced striking an attacker to the throat , eyes , nose, face, and groin, as well as how to head-butt, pull our arms or wrists out of tight holds, and how to eye gouge.

While practicing on each other was useful, the real effect set in when we used dummies that looked like men, for only then could we actually perform an attack. As each girl walked away from the dummy after hitting him in the cheek with her elbow or kneeing him in the groin, a big smile would cross her face. While she knew that it was not real and that an actual attack would never be as easy as that one, she realized that she had gained the knowledge and power that would help her in a real-life situation.

Megan Campbell, a member of the freshman Pi Phi pledge class, stressed that she would love to teach the rest of the chapter the importance of taking a self-defense class or a follow-up class to this one . Erin Troy, also a freshman, agreed and said, "It was really good to see so many people supporting the cause. "

Twenty Pi Phis attended the seminar and the Tennessee Beta Chapter donated $10 directly to the foundation for each girl who went. " I learned that it 's always better to do something, rather than s tand there and do nothing ," Megan says. "Th e mo st important thing is that there is no wrong way to protect yourself. "

At the end of the two-hour class , I walked back to my dorm with a little

Tennessee Betas Megan Campb e ll, left, and Sarah Vick take turns practicing moves to fend off attackers

TO DEFEND

more confidence. It is amazing knowing that girls are attacked every day and that a simple course can mean the difference between life and death. While I know that an encounter with an attacker would still be a great struggle, I at least have some of the basic skills that can help me escape danger.

When I got home I put on a light pink t-shirt I do not think I will ever look at that color the same way again

" This grant will provide the financial resources and opportunities to

research the colorful and significant

history that we have in Gatlinburg, " Glenn Bogart said. The grant

by Kimberly Geib ewman Public Rdatio oordinator

RES H GRANT FOR OWMONT

In 1910, the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women worked to open the first school to serve the families in and around Gatlinburg. Thanks to a grant of nearly $250,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), this important story about the history of education and artS literacy in the Smokies will be preserved and accessible to all.

The project, From Pi Beta Phi to Arrnwmont: Bringing Education and Economic Development to The Great Smoky Mountains, 1910-2004, will create a Web site with searchable archives of selected letters, diaries, photographs and other materials that document the history of

the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School and the Arrowmont School of Arts and C 'lfts in Gatlinburg, Tenn. Pri n , Ipal investigators Ken Wise and Anne Bridges , University of Tennessee (UT) librarians, will work to complete the project with David Willard director of Arrowmont School, and Glenn Bogart, principal of Pi Beta Phi Elementary School in Gatlinburg.

The grant project complements two ongoing endeavors at the UT Libraries, the Digital Library Center and the Great Smoky Mountain Regional Project. " We see this grant as a way to bring information about the Smokies to the broader public ," Anne Bridges said. "Promoting the history of the area will give both local citizens and the thousands of visitors an opportunity to look beyond the prese nt-day Smokies and appreciate how the region has developed. "

will also fund the development of instructional units based on the Web site, so that the information can be integrated into classroom lessons. Bogart says being knowledgeable about the past "will improve the quality of life in Gatlinburg , as well as provide an impetus for continued economic prosperity. "

Arrowmont attracts a diverse group of students, from professional artists to novices, who travel from allover the country to attend classes. "This school has impacted so many people in the community," David Willard said. "We have a significant story to tell, and this project is a great way for us to let the world know about it."

"This grant will not only help tell an important story, but it also helps illustrate the role of the emerging virtual library," said Barbara Dewey, Dean of Libraries at UT. " The collaborations of the UT Libraries, the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and the Pi Beta Phi Elementary School are an amazing example of sharing unique resources and expertise," she said.

Work began in early January and will continue through 2006.

Arrowmont is planning to apply for another grant after the work is completed to mount a major exhibition illustrating the history of the school and the region. "We have a wonderful story to tell that starts with Pi Phis bringing education to a remote area, to one of the best known craft schools in the country," David Willard said. "T his will also provide a great beginning to a book we would like to publish in the future, " as Arrowmont looks forward to its Bicentennial celebration in 2012 . Currently, the archive at Arrowmont is available to the public by appointment only, for purposes of research. The archive is divided into the following areas: Pi Beta Phi Settlement School; Arrowcraft History; Early Healthcare; Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts; and Arrowmont's Permanent Collection, comprised of historical craft objects and contemporary craft exemplary of the School's teachings through the years. Arrowmont is actively seeking documents , pictures and objects relating to these topics to be included in their archive . Contact Arrowmont if you would like to contribute.

You can view the work in progress. Visit Arrowmont 's virtual archive at: http://www.lib. utk.edul arrowmon t.

2005 Pi Phi Arts Weekend

This has been a high spot in my year! I had no idea that this weekend would be so wonderful. My class was excellent and more than folfilled my highest expectations.

- Patricia Rolfe Baker, Texas Gamma

My whole experience was far better than I had expected I came mainly to be with my friends , since I had NO art experience and I thought, no talent. Much to my surprise, I loved my class and every minute seemed to fly by ... I can't wait to come back.

- Gena Odell Still, Texas Gamma

This was the first of what I hope to be many trips to the Pi Phi Weekend I came as one offive pledge sisters from 40 years ago and left celebrating the sisterhood that made Pi Phi so appealing all those years ago I also learned how much fon and satisfYing woodturning is.

thought it would be impossible for her club to participate. The average age of the VALLEY OF THE MOON, CALIFORNIA ALUMNAE CLUB member is nearly 70 years old.

But she was surprised. "To my delight, and that of longtime members, it has revitalized our club," Mary, Alumnae Club President, says. One member was listed in their roles for more than 30 years, but no one in the club had ever met her. "When CAR was mentioned in the 2003 president's newsletter, she jumped at the chance to be involved with this worthwhile endeavor."

Over the past two years, the Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club has driven 227 third grade students in 11 classrooms in Sonoma County,

etCAR Refoel Your Alumnae Club

California, to read with CAR. Their CAR Com-

mittee has 12 Two chairmen introduce the program and its possibilities to school principals and teachers.

"These plans and the CAR kit materials, which can be purchased from Headquarters, are met with enthusiasm by school personnel ," Maty says. "We offer Pi Phi listeners for an hour each weekday. " To fulfill this commitment, Valley of the Moon Pi Phis sometimes invite their friends to accompany them on CAR days.

"It has been our experience that some students simply do not complete the program. With the approval of their teachers, we began giving these children a key with the letters CAR painted on one side. This special key is to jump start their reading engine so that they, too, can complete the program and receive a medal," Mary explains. Each youngster also received a book with the key.

The Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club shares the following class notes and tips:

• Some teachers extend the reading time from the suggested 15 minutes.

• The teachers select the reading hour that works best for their classes.

• During each hour, Pi Phis listen to three or four students

who are selected by their teacher.

• We have a traveling CAR wagon for books donated by our club members. It stays at the school for the entire month and the children can read the books in school or check them out.

• Members who cannot come and listen to the children are able to participate by donating books and/or money.

• Our monthly club newsletter always includes a detailed report on CAR to keep all members updated.

• We photograph each child at the awards ceremony. This becomes a nice keepsake for the children.

• We decided not to have snacks at the awards ceremony. The books, certificates, medals and bookmarks seem to be all the rewards necessary.

Mary concluded by saying " I can't help but feel this project would appeal to young Pi Phi mothers , especially in their children's schools. "

Halfway through my term (Chapter President), I was given the amazing opportunity of traveling to Anaheim, California, for the Pi Beta Phi National Convention.

I believe the bond between women committed to improving the world around them through high standards in beliefi and behaviors is a bond that is unmatched in our society.

Most chapters are preparing 0 recruit new members. But how, en and whom they recruit can as night and day.

As the National P. hellenic Conference (NPC) I rned through its two-year s y completed in 2003, pus is unique and therefore quires a recruitment style that be st fits its student demographics.

In 1991, NPC passed a resolution in an effort to de-escalate the trend toward elaborate recruitment events and focus on a no-frills process that truly allows members the opportunity to get to know potential members.

With this goal of moving toward no-frills recruitment on every Panhellenic campus, NPC has adopted the following fo u r recruitm ent models:

C ontinuous Open Recruitment

On-going, informal events of all sizes are organized by chapters and their alumnae. Bids are offered directly to potential new members.

Minimally Structure d Recrui t m e nt

Potential new members explore options at their discretion. Members and potential new members get to know one another in a relaxed, informal atmosphere without structured events. Each chapter determines the times and types of social occasions they will have, and may include a Preference event.

The campus Panhellenic organization determines the date for issuing bids .

Partially Structured Recruitment

Events established within a more loosely defined time frame provide potential new members the flexibility to attend events according to their own schedules and interests. Potential new members are required

ro visit each sorority at least once. A Preference event and Bid Day conclude recruitment

Fully St ructured Recruitment

This traditional recruitment has structured rounds and events highlight ing positive aspects of sorority life and responsible membership.

The growth of Pi Phi is part of every member 's responsibility - collegian and alumna alike.

A Chapter Membership Chairman (CMC) serves as the primary contact for a chapter duting recruitment. CMCs receive Recruitment Informat ion Form s (RIFs) and oversee the recruitment process. Send completed RIFs, which can be found on page 42, to the CMC of the respective chapter. Find CMC names and mailing in formation beginning on page 38 or on the Web at www.pibetaphi.org.This will be the last year that the CMC list will be printed in The Arrow. Next year look for it on the Web site. Members who do not have Internet access should call Headquarters for CMC information.

CHAPTER RESPONSIBILITY

How can chapter members make recruitment successful? A first step is

to understan d the needs and wants of potential members. She is likely to be career oriented; ser iousl y concerned with academics; so meone looking for friendship, supp ort , a home-awayfrom-home, role model s, a career network, leadership opportunities and social activities; and in some cases, older than the traditional 18-year-old. Chapter members need to take the time to learn each potential member 's expectations so they can explain how the Greek experience can fill her needs

All chapter members should brush up on conversation skills before recruitment events. Potential new members will be interested to learn Pi Phi facts and heritage.

Chapters also have the responsibility of fo ll owing Pi Beta Phi po l icies on legacies , which include:

• The Chapter Membership Chairman shall inform the chapter of all potential new members known to be Pi Beta Phi legacies.

• A legacy shall be invited to at least one invitational round of recruitment.

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

The Martins trace their Pi Phi roots to 1910 when Arkansas Alpha Margaret Scott Gerig was initiated. From the left, are: Arkansas Alphas Margaret Gerig Martin and Sue Thomas Martin, Texas Eta Courtney Martin and Arkansas Alpha Robin Martin.

WHO IS A LEGACY?

A legacy is a daughter, sister or granddaughter of a member. Some chapters also consider step-daughters, stepsisters and great-granddaughters as legacies. A legacy often brings a rich heritage to our Fraternity through a supportive family and a lifelong understanding of Fraternity values. Grand Council encourages chapters to give special attention to legacies whose academics, activities, community service and leadership skills are comparable to those of other potential members. Legacies are given special consideration in the membership selection process. However, the selection of members is ultimately the chapter's choice and potential members can be released if the chapter doesn't feel the fit is right for both the potential new member and the chapter.

PREPARING LEGACIES

Alumnae have a responsibility to educate legacies about the recruitment experience and the Greek system. A potential member should feel free to pledge the Greek group where she is most comfortable. She should enter recruitment with an open mind , look at a variety of Greek groups and select the one that is best for her. Hopefully family members understand the emotional issues faced during the recruitment process and do not place undue expectations on the legacy or the chapter. Knowing a legacy has made the decision that best suits her will bring joy to all on Bid Day.

Grand Vice President of Philanthropies NEW YORK GAMMA BETSY HARRIs CANTIJE has two daughters and neither are members of Pi Beta Phi. "Lisa graduated from McDaniel College in Maryland where there was not a Pi Phi chapter. She pledged a Phi Mu colony and was in the first initiated class of

her chapter. She so enjoyed her time in the chapter that upon graduation she became an alumna adviser for the chapter for two years while she lived in the greater Washington, D C. area," Betsy says.

"Jennifer was a member of the Chi Omega chapter at Ohio University which was next door to the Pi Phi house. Jennifer fell in love with the Chi Omega chapter early on in the recruitment process and had a wonderful experience while an undergraduate. Ten years later her Chi Omega sisters are among her closest friends, as are many of her ftiends from the Pi Phi chapter at Ohio University.

"While I was disappointed to not have a Pi Phi daughter, I am appreciative of their Greek experience . They found their membership in Chi Omega & Phi Mu as undergraduates was as fulfilling for them as my membership in Pi Beta Phi. Their personal growth through leadership activities and programming in their NPC groups will continue to benefit them The lifelong friendships through their Greek membership and involvement are the same as I have with my sisters in Pi Beta Phi."

MISSOURI ALPHA SUE KINGSLEY

ROBIN SON, Director of Chapter Support for Region 2, has a daughter who is a member of Delta Delta Delta. " It has been my hope that by allowing my daughters to see how important my Fraternity experience has been to me that they would want to join one as well. Like any Pi Phi, you hope your own group might be the one, but how well young people connect during recruitment is not something you can predict or influence, " Sue says.

"As a parent, I couldn't imagine being anything but supportive of my daughter's choices or making the most out of those presented to her during

Missouri Alpha Sue Kingsley Robinson recently participated in a Mom's Weekend with her daughter Molly, who is a member of Delta Delta Delta at Kansas State University recruitment. I rejoiced in her selecting a fraternity that I respect. I relish her experiences; we compare notes, laugh at the similarities and it's been great fun to shop for deltas and dolphins. "

HOW ALUMNAE CAN HELP

• Fill out a Recruitment Information Form (RIF) on any prospective member you wish to sponsor. The form on page 42 may be copied. You also can find the RIF, as well as a legacy form, at www.pibetaphi.org.

• Return the completed form to the respective Chapter Membership Chairman. Collegiate chapters and Chapter Membership Chairmen are listed beginning on page 38.

• Send the RIF early. Complete information about the potential member's qualifications is essential. If possible, include a picture of the potential member.

• Although only one RIF is necessary, letters are welcome from all alumnae who may wish to write and offer their comments.

TSUNAMI RESHAPES STUDY

Editor's Note: Rather than foil her plans to study in India, the Dec. 26 tsunami changed Ontario Gamma Daranne Mills' focus. Now back at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, Canada, working toward a Master of Divinity degree, she wrote about her experience in India in January.

My pre-tsunami travel plans had been made with the intent to explore how the church in India is addressing the issues of Dalit peoples - those " Untouchables" who are relegated to the fringes of society. The need created by the tsunami disaster reshaped my stay. Instead of compromising my information gathering, it allowed me candid exposure to the human spirit and the privilege of briefly accompanying people in their suffering.

People everywhere expressed a great desire to tell their personal stories. In one community, fisher folk women wailed as they voiced their feelings of betrayal by the sea. They told how their tribal tradition worships the sea as a god by placing offerings of bread and milk at the water 's edge.

Ontario Gamma Daranne Mills, in the center of the top row, offers relief and compassion to tsunami victims in India.

The gratitude expressed by people I encountered was overwhelming. Many asked me to tell people I know back home that their help is really reaching them. Peoples' physical and psychological needs are being addressed.

I thought the most useful work I could do in India would be to aid in the physical relief efforts and distribution of materials, however, I became very aware that one of the most valued things we have to offer is a listening ear.

CONGRATULATIONS!

University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren presented the 10th annual President's Trophy to the outstanding fraternity, sorority, housing center and two commuter students in April. The sorority trophy, which comes with a $5 ,000 prize , was awarded to Pi Phi's Oklahoma Alpha Chapter. They have the distinction of being the only sorority to win this trophy two years in a row.

President 's Trophies are given to students and organizations exhibiting overall excellence in academics, campus

activi ti es, community service and volunteerism, and multicultural activities.

"In many ways, the strength of the spirit of giving back on our campus uniq u ely defines what it means to be a Soone r," Boren said. "The awarding of the President's Trophy recognizes the camp u s leaders in that effort."

At Bucknell University, the Pennsylvania Beta Chapter received the 2 0 04 Recruitment and New Mem b er Education Award at the 2004 Greek Awards ceremony in February. Also h onored at this event was AAC PENNSYLVANIA BETA CAROL RHEAM TEVIS as Alumni Advisor of 2004.

Co n gratulations to Carol and to the Pe n nsylvania Betas and Oklahoma Alphas.
