it's about service
You may not remember
the first word you ever read , but maybe you do remember the first person who made words leap off the page , the one who encouraged you to jump into stories and devour every word written .
Since 1990 thousands across the nation have called this person a Pi Phi , the one who made words an intricate part of their lives . Alumnae clubs and chapters have been helping to identify and fill literacy needs through "Links to Literacy. " The volunteers in this program are the true "link " between reading and people in their community, and they have been this link since the Fraternity ' s original educational mission at Settlement School.
Helping another person learn to read, make better sense of written words or answer local literacy needs in other ways can be a very rewarding experience . Through active involvement in literacy programs, Pi Beta Phis advance the founding purpose of promoting mental advancement and the happiness of humanity.
Today Pi Phis can help the illiterate realize their human potential , and our efforts can happen in many settings-in hospitals, schools, libraries , the workplace, senior citizen centers , women's shelters , at the kitchen table. Through the many local , state and national organizations now dedicated to literacy, where volunteers are vital , members of Pi Beta Phi have an opportun i ty to truly make a difference

Georgia Alpha
Georgia Alphas have much to be thankful for this holiday season. After a successful but tumultuous fall, we can say proudly that our sisterhood is even stronger.
Saturday, August 22 , 1998, was the last day of rush and the anticipated preferential party. The early morning found everyone tying up loose ends and getting everything into place One hour before the party , everyone gathered in the dining room. The anthems were practiced, the arrow cake ready and the sisters of Georgia Alpha stood on the stairs of the beautiful Pi Phi house with candles about to be lit, waiting for the hopeful rushees to enter.
As the rushees entered the house, the so u n d o f popping balloons filled the air, startling everyone. Almost Simultaneously, the entrance over the dining room crashed down , Signaling to everyone that something had gone dreadfully wrong. Someone yelled, "Fire!," and in what seemed like an eternity , everyone fought for a way out of the rapidly burning house The rushees scurried out, the Georgia Alphas on the bonom half of the stairs went through the front door, and those members upstairs , in a panic, ran from one end of the house to the other looking for a way to escape.
Members of Pi Beta Phi ran our of every comer of the house , hugging , crying and rejoicing that everyone got out unharmed. In the moments preceding the arrival of the fire engines, our secretary called the roll of aLI 130 sisters by hean . There , standing on the lawn across the street , we watched as the downstairs of our beautiful sorority house burned, dark black smoke pouring from every window.
The firemen came right away and saved the house from extensive damage to the upstairs and bedrooms. Exhausted, we
gathered together and walked across the street to the neighbOring fraternity house where our rush party was waiting. Through teary eyes and smoke-stained dresses , the Pi Phis held the best preferential round of rush we ' d ever given. The anthems were sung with the sincerest meaning , the speakers spoke with amazing poise and emotion, and the true sisterhood of Pi Beta Phi shown through to all of Athens.
Even with our house in shambles, the sisters of the Georgia Alpha chapter of Pi Beta Phi had the absolute best group of rushees show up on their lawn for Bid Day obody could have taken bener care of us in our time of need Everything from meals to hOUSing was provided by the other NPC groups on campus. Through this experience, we have become an even stronger chapter and realized how lucky we are to be part of the University of Georgia's Greek community.
The burning of the house was certainly a scary and startling experience However, nobody was hun and nearly all of our personal belongings were spared. ew improvements are under way in the building and repairing of the chapter house . Although it was burned and black inside, the house will be even bener and more beautiful than it was before , for it is this amazing group of Pi Beta Phis that would make a house anywhere a very special place to live

Fall ARROW
I was disgusted by The ARROW cover and also the seven pages devoted to the perils of smoking. We have heard this blasting of tobacco in the news media for 30-40 years and I feel that's just about enough.
My husband and I have never bought a pack of cigarettes so Joe Camel has certainly not profited from us. But I do feel every person has a right to choose their own way of life We still hopefully live in a democracy.

The Fall 1998 issue of your request for readers' thoughts on smoking literally prompted me to take pen in hand to send a personal message My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in early 1988 after 63 years of smoking-an addictive habit which she tried numerous times to overcome , but never with any long-lasting success . Smoking was the "in" thing to do at age 13 when she started, and no one touted the health hazards we see today If [ can relay but one message to anyone who contemplates smoking for whatever reason, it is this : Think about those you love and those who love you. Lung cancer, emphysema and other respiratory illnesses directly linked to smoking causes suffering and heartbreak for not only the victim, but for families, friends and caregivers.
Whenever [ see so many young people who think they are winning the popularity contest by succumbing to that nasty habit, I want to show them, first-hand, what they can expect in the future. It is not a pretty picture.
Thanks for your focus. To paraphrase a cliche, if all this results in preventing just one person from ever taking up the habit, it will be worth the effort!

I was very disappOinted in the cover of the Fall 1998 ARROW. Although I felt that the accompanying article which addressed the issue of smoking was very informative and necessary, I believe that the cover chosen discredited the character and significance of Pi Beta Phi. Hopefully, future covers will reflect a more positive image for our Fraternity.

I want to thank you for publishing the article in the Fall ARROW on the hazards of smoking. [ can only hope that my mother, whom [ love and cherish, will see this letter. She began smoking as a Kansas Beta more than 40 years ago, and although [ do not blame Pi Beta Phi for her addiction, I understand the power that societal influences carried in that day and age on young women who began this lethal habit. As a phYSiCian , I see firsthand the death , morbidity and sorrow engendered by smoking every day of my practice. [ fear for my father and the effects of secondhand smoke on his health . Unfortunately, for my mother it may be too late-she is 68 and has a family history of lung and laryngeal cancer. Every day [ worry that she will become a victim of cancer, heart disease , stroke, lung
disease, or any of the other multiple conditions that are caused by or much more likely to occur in smokers. But in many ways it is not too late for her. She is currently as healthy as is possible.
I would like her to know how powerful a gift it would be to me and my family, he r son and his family, her husband and to herself to stop smoking. I know she fears she hasn't the strength to quit. But she is one of the strongest people I have ever known. I know she can do this thing if she only decides.
Thank you for helping me try to communicate with her. She values her heritage in Pi Beta Phi and the lifelong friends she has made and bonds she has forged, as do L I want her around to enjoy life for many more years and so do all her friends in Pi Phi. I add my plea to yours and hope she sees this: Mom, I love you. Quit smoking today. Please.

Thank you for your well written and timely editorial and the feature article on smoking. I'm grateful that Grand Council decided to address this topic in the Fall issue of The ARROW.
Having lost my dad, an uncle and cousin to cancer caused by smoking, I not only choose not to smoke, [ want to be an encourager of those who are making an effort to warn people of its effect on their families as well as themselves.

Artists Explore the Business Side of Crafts
Approximately 175 artisans and craftspeople from across the country converged upon Arrowrnont September 23-26 for the conference "Making It in the New Millennium: A Craft Survival Guide." Cosponsored by Arrowrnont and the Southeast Regional Assembly of the American Craft Council, the conference focused on marketing aspects of the craft field. According to Arrowrnont director Sandy Blain , the weekend was a success not only in the attendance, but in the overall content of the conference. "Most schools offer hands-on sessions, which, of course , is very important , but rarely do artists have the chance to explore the business and
marketing side of the craft field , " Sandy said. "This conference explored many issues that are vital to the survival of craft artists today ."
Conference presenters included more than 40 professionals who discussed topics such as web site construction getting published

about service.
• During a session a nine-year-old boy, who sadly reported he was held back in school, sat and listened to Pi Phi readers. He then asked if he could be the one to read to the younger children. He even had his mother bring him back to read again after his appointment was finished.
• This new library is truly a benefit to all kids who receive medical care at our hospital.
• Thank you for the book you gave me called "Christmas Book." I loved it, so did my mom.
• A little boy who had been there reading from the beginning of the session leaned over to a new child and said, "If you stay long enough, you'll get an alligator to go with that egg!"
