The Arrow of Pi Beta Phi-Winter-1999

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday Foundation ..."

In February, the Foundation completes its first decade.

As the saying goes, "We've come a long way. "

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation grew from the vision of a forward-thinking Grand Council under the leadership of then Grand President Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg. Members of that Council realized that the future well-being of the Fraternity depended upon one of the big advantages foundations offer-the ability to raise funds that , for the donor, are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. So, in 1990, Grand Council turned its vision into a reality by establishing the Pi Beta Phi Foundation.

The Foundation quickly obtained proper legal documentation. furnished an office and selected the fir t Trustees. Ann Dudgeon Phy became the prndent. In fact. the Foundation possessed all the trappIngs reqUIred for any foundation to function except for that one \ltal component necessary-

money. The Fraternity offered a loan for start-up funds Gong since repaid), and the Pi Beta Phi Foundation sprang into action. Our Foundation has been racing ahead ever since.

This is evident in many areas, such as the increase in the number and value of scholarships awarded, and the larger amount of monthly Emma Harper Turner Fund gifts to alumnae enduring severe financial hardships.

The article and time line in this issue of The ARROW reveal 10 years of Foundation accomplishments and successes and foretell a promising future.

Our Foundation does make a difference to the Fratemiry and to its members. How does this happen? It happens because of the support of Pi Phis and friends of the Fratemiry! 1heIr belIef in what the Foundation is doing amI Lheir support by providing funds and encouragement make the accomp lishments and successes of the Foundation possible. Donors show their support by responding to the Friendship Fund (sim ilar to a college or universiry's annual fund drive) , by making generous bequests or planning deferred gifts, or by establish ing endowments that help fund Foundation programs Such loyal , unselfish giving contributes to the Foundation's growth and bodes well for its future as well as for that of the Fratemiry.

Current and past trustees and the Foundation staff join together in thanking all who give to the Foundation. Because of that generosity, the Foundation does make a difference.

Yes. it is a very Happy Birthday'

"Receiving

the scholarship from Pi Beta Phi meant more to me than just the monetary value. It meant that a prestigious organization believed in me enough to make an inve stment in my future. That encouraged me to

ex cel and assure the women of Pi Beta Phi that they made a great investment-one that is helping me realize my goal of becoming a physician. "

Alpha Renee Hamel Grau

These words of encouragement from scholarship recipient Renee Hamel Grau emphasize that the Pi Beta Phi Foundation IS able to make a difference In the past 10 years, the Foundation has awarded hundreds of scholarships and fellowships as well as provided funds to people in severe financial need through the Emma Harper Turner Fund . Likewise , the Foundation has provided grants to the Fraternity and Arrowmont.

Past

Over the past 10 years, the Pi Beta Phi Foundation h as been able to make a difference! How did that happen? Through your suppon!

The Foundation was established in 1990 At that time, the primary focus of the Foundation was the Campaign for Arrowmont. The goal was to raise $2.3 millio n for the sc h oo l, Pi Beta Phi's major philant h ro py, to b uil d a new d o rmi tory, endow an Artists-in- Reside n ce Program with acco mpanyi ng faciltties , improve studios for wood, painting and drawing, increase an education for children and endow the gallery. Arrowmont haa always been a nlg y acc alme arts an era ts schooL and , in order for this standard to be maintained, it was essential to conduct the Campaign for Arrowmont. Th e Foundation appointed Pennsylvan ia BetaJean Winhs Scott to head the Capital Campaign Committee . The Pi Beta Phi Foundation and its campaign committee designed their effo r ts \vith "friend raising" as well as fund raising The Campaign for Arrowmonr exceeded its goal by $300,000 in 1995.

While the Campaign for Arrowmont was taking place, the Foundation continued to grow in other areas. In May 1992, the following mission statement was adopted by the Trustees : " The Pi Beta Phi Foundation is committed to fund programs which promote the intellectual, ethical and leadership development of members of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity and, through its philanthropic efforts, to benefit the larger socIety."

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation began to serve Fraternity members through scholarships , fellowships, emergency fmancial assistance and leadership education for chapters, clubs and Fraternity officers . In 199-+ , the Friendship Fund and the Emma Harper Turner Fund were transferred from the Fraternity to the Foundation Th15 allowed the foundation to grow and better serve Pi Beta Phi members as well as the

ation lOin 2000

world around them Scholarship awards have doubled over the last 10 years to a minimum amount of $1,000, and there is a continuing efforr to increase that amount .

The Marianne Reid Wild Society was established in 1992 to give current recognition to donors of deferred gifts-gifts that often are not realized during a donor's lifetime. This society was named in honor of Kansas Alpha Marianne Reid Wild who made a generous unresrricted bequest to the Foundation to support its educational and leadership programming. The intent of the society is to give recognition to donors who name the Foundation as a beneficiary through one of the many deferred giving vehicles available for estate planning.

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation has had an impact!

Present

Today the Pi Beta Phi Foundation is among the leaders of the National Panhellenic Council foundations. This is the result of the commitment of our members to make a difference and the wisdom of our board to guide the Foundation.

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation Board of Trustees continues to uphold the Foundation' s mission. For the 1999-2000 academic year, more than 17 scholarships and fellowships were awarded through endowments that were established by individuals or groups of people At least twO new endowed scholarships will be awarded for the 2000-2001 academic year In addition to these scholarships and fellowships, the Friendship Fund provides monies to award more than half of the scholarships and fellowships In the 1998-99 fiscal year, the Foundation awarded close to $270 ,000 in scholarships , fellowships , Emma Harper Turner stipends , chapter leadership grants and grants to the Fraternity and Arrowmont The Foundation sponsored a convention speaker through the Peg Houston Memorial Speakers Fund and granted funds to Holt House

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation will work to enhance its programs While all programs are of utmost importance, a few areas of concentration will include enhanCing the scholarship and fellowship programs and secunng additional Chapter Leadership Education Endowments for collegiate chapters to provide the funding for Pi Beta Phi leadership education and training.

Special Thanks

As a collegian I had only heard bits and pieces about Arrowmont . Recently , I had the opponunity to visit Arrowmont with the 1999-2000 Graduate Consultants . I can't begin to describe how much fun we had touring the facilities and me eting different people at the school.

During our stay an Elderhostel group had just completed a week lo ng course. Once the group knew we were Pi Phis they co uldn ' t stop thanking us for be ing a p art of such a wonderful program. [didn't realize the programs at Arrowmont reached so man y pe op le .

The highlight of our trip was spending time with Helen Anderson Lewis, a former member of Grand Counci l. We had a wonderful time hearing stories of her days as a co ll egian. Mrs. Lewis wowed us with her memories of b e ing initiated by Amy Burnham Onken.

I wish every Pi Phi would have the opportunity to visit Arrowmont- and really see what kind of an in!luence the school has on the community.

It's an experience [ won ' t forget.

Recently, all eight Graduate Cons ultants, Sis Mull is , an d Jessica Manning had the great opportunity to experience Arrowmont toget h er. I t was wonderful! The Smokey Mountains are beautiful in the fall.

Our first adventure was horseback riding through the Smokey Mountains! Dena Long got the stubborn horse out of the bunch-all he wanted to do was eat. It was a sight to see. Other adventures included a wonderful car tour of the Smokey Mountain National Park. We a lso got the chance to meet Helen Anderson Lewis. She is such a wonderful Pi Beta Phi , and we lo ve d hearing her stories over lunch.

The best part of the weekend was just being together. [ had never been to Arrowmont before , but what an experience it is. I definitely plan to go back for a Pi Phi Arts Weekend so metime The Consul tants talked of having a reunion at Arrowmont in the years to come.

I wish every Pi Phi could visit Arrowmont at sometime in their life!

National Pan hellenic Conference Resolution

At the 1998 Annual Meeting of the ational Pan hellenic Conference, Pi Beta Phi became one of nine major sponsors of a resolution in support of efforts toward alcohol-free facilities for men All 26-member groups were in favor, and the resolution was adopted unanimously.

The wording of the second-to-Iast resolve is important.

"Resolved, That the NPC member fraternities wi ll continue to support the efforts toward alcoholfree hOUSing in men's fraternity facilities with the goal being that the individual NPC member fraternities will work toward cosponsoring onlY alcoholfre e function s in men 'sfraternity facilities by the fall term of 2000."

All 26 NPC groups are expected to have po li Cies that s u pport t he intent of the NPC Resolution by fall of 2000. It would be a mixed message for anyone of the 26 NPC groups not to support alcohol-free facilities for the men ... all 26 NPC groups have alcohol-free policies in place for their facilities.

Pi Beta Phi Resolution

Yes, Pi Beta Phi is one of those already on board with its own policy.

"Resolved , That beginning with the fall term of the year 2000, Pi Beta Phi collegiate chapters will cosponsor functions at men 's fraternity houses , dorms or lodges onlY if those facilities are alco h ol free ."

What ao the NPC ana Pi Beta Phi Resolutions aO?

The Resolutions:

o do not declare a ban on alcohol

o do not decree abstinence

o do not mandate that all parties with fraternities must be dry

o do not violate the rights of th ose who are of age to drink

Alcohol may be consumed parties with fraternities may involve alcohoi . . . those of legal age to drink may do so. However , parties with alcohol may not be in fraternity facilities. NPC and Pi Beta Phi chapters ma y not cosponsor a function on fraternity property u n less it is alcohol free.

Why?

At a time when colleges, universities, comm u nity leaders, government officials, parents and peers are looking fo r lea d ers to ad d ress alcohol mis u se and abu se o n ca m pus, we must rise to t h e occasio n to in itiate positive change. The men have asked for our h e lp. We

expect all 26 PC women ' s groups to respond. On the 133 campuses where there is a chapter of Pi Beta Phi , we expect that Pi Phi chapter to playa leadership ro le. They won't be alone

As we ponder our role in support of alcohol-free facilities for men, let's imagine a school year

o where no media headlines report tragedy related to Greek alcohol use.

o where university administrators praise their Greek communities for leading t h e way in s tu dent scholars h ip.

o where no sister succumbs to u nsafe or u nwa nt ed sex beca use of alcoho l use.

Pi Beta Phi Resolution in support of Alcohol-Free Fraternity Housing

Whereas,

An alcoho l-free living environment provides clean er, safer fac iliti es w h ich a re conducive to our mission of scholastic excellence and where beh avior consistent with Fraternity prinCip les can flourish; and

Whereas,

The misuse of alcohol by college and university students is contrary to the fou n ding values and the standards of Greek organ izations , detracts from the mission of higher education of our host institu tions and endangers student health and welfare; and

Whereas,

All Pi Beta Phi Fraternity chapter facilities are and have always been alcohol free ; and

Wh ereas,

Texas Gamma Pledge Sisters Honor a Friend

When Texas Gamma J ohnanna Zournas passed away in the early part of 1998 , pledge sisters Nancy Carlock Rogers and Jan e Wight Sch arlach were determined thatJohnanna would be remembered in a special way . This determination led ancy and Jane to coordinate an effort which would, in the end, raise the funds necessary to establish an endowed scholarship within the Pi Beta Phi Foundation.

An endowment for a Pi Beta Phi Foundation undergraduate scho larship requires a minimum principal of $25,000. With tenacity and steadfast commitment, . ancy Rogers and Jane Scharlach set o ut to contact other Texas Gammas, friends and members of the Zournas family to encourage their support of a scholarship in Johnanna 's name.

In three and a half months the dream became a reality. Upon the first anniversary of her death, Johnanna 's friends gathered at the Texas Gamma chapter house to celebrate the announcement that the scholarship had been fully funded and the first

New Links to Literacy Committee Convenes

In October, the Links to Literacy Committee met to re-evaluate and brainstorm about Links to Literacy Through this meeting, it developed five goals to help guide members as they embark on literacy adventures.

So m e of these goals include:

- making literacy more visible in Pi Phi ' s established communicatio n vehicles;

- moving the Links to Literacy Guide fro m a m anu a l form(lt ro a biannual newsletter;

- providing each chapter ' s and alumnae club ' s Links chairman with guidelines and simplified reporting forms;

- presenting programming ideas that encourage interaction with alumnae and collegians inclusive of Fraternity orientation and rush.

With the guidance of these goals , you can begin a literacy program for your chapter or club. Here are a few ideas to help your chapter or alumnae club begin planning its upcoming literacy schedule , a schedule which will include events that are beneficial and fun for your community

CENTRAL, MARYlAND A LU MN AE

C LU B members gathered to assemble educational kits for children and their parents who currently live in a homeless shelter.

In September , the NASHVILLE , TENNESSEE ALUMNAE CLUB donated children's books to the Faith Hill

Literacy Foundation. Throughout the year , the club will donate book bags and bookmarks to an inner-city school. All students will receive a bookmark for participating in a reading contest and winners of the contest will receive a book bag. Club members and their children will also visit local nursing homes and read to the elderly.

Dra w ing by Ka nsas Alpha Alice Cash Mills depicting the Hutchinson , Kansas Alumnae Club's Links to Literacy program

More Ideas From an Award-Winning Alumnae Club

Your chapter or club does not just need to participa t e in one literacy activity. Here are five of the projects the Hutchinson, Kansas Alum n ae Club, winner of the Houston Alumnae Club Links to Literacy Award at the 1999 Convention, uses to encourage literacy in its community.

1. After listening to a board member from the local boys' and girls' club speak about the club's needs, alumnae club members began a library at the faCility. Members donated and bought books for the new library and spent time helping the children read, listening to the children read and helping with homework.

2. Every Tuesday after school , alumnae club members meet children from the boys ' and girls ' club at the public library. The volunteers help the children complete library card applications and check out age-appropriate books Volunteers also help the children choose books at the library's semiannual used book sale. Since the children often buy these books as Christmas presents , the volunteers also help them wrap the gift while at the sale. Funds for the project, such as those needed for the gift wrap , are generated from the club's annual pecan sale. The alumn ae

club also donates extra books to this project to ensure a great selection.

3. Club members conduct a reading circle for local elementary schools and churches. Teachers reported the children ' s reading abilities and test scores have increased since the program began.

4. Club members participate in "Roots and Wings-Success for All ," a reading program at Winans Elementary School. The program stresses cooperative learning through pairing children with reading difficulties WIth community volunteers. Through this program , several volunteers

realized the children were not receiving healthy meals at night. Now, after the tutoring session is complete, club members provide a heal th y snack for the students.

5. The cl ub donated two reading nooks to the Training and Evalua tion Center of Hutchinson ' s annual auction. The nooks came complete with afghans, handmade dolls , stuffed animals, woven rugs, and new and next-to-new books .

ow are you ready to make an impact in your community, in your schools , in the next generation of readers? Then it 's time to begin your chapter ' s or club's Links to Literacy project I

When Texas Beta Lucy Harrison began to pack for a trip to France and Italy she made sure and packed her Pi Phi hat. "I knew with that many alumni association members from that many schools. there would surely be some other Pi Phis , and the cap might function as a sort of flag that we could rally 'round," she writes. In a few days, five Pi Phis had found each other on the trip--as well as one Sigma Chi . Jim Delano announced that he had served at the Pi Phi house at Northwestern in 1936. He reportedly said , " I spent more time at the Pi Phi house than I did at S igma Ch i."

Kicking off the year with the theme "A New Century of Friendship, " the M INNEAP O US , MI NNESOTA ALUMNAE C LU B increased its dues-paying members. The club also started its fund-raising year with a garage sale, which raised $925, and rena m ed its undergraduate scholarship in memory of former Director and Collegiate Province President Sara Wareham Wagonner.

The Cookie Shine, distinctly a Pi Beta Phi tradition, had its origin at the first 1.c. party given by the Kappa Chapter, now Kansas Alpha at Lawrence , Kansas in June 1873. The party was given by the Richardson sisters to honor their sister Sara, an Illinois Beta. The chancellor of the college, John Fraser, happened to be present. Cookie Shine , was his name for any kind of an informal social, and the name so pleased

" I fI 7 I f the women that they { uue-v

immediately adopted it for their own

Kansas Alpha Frances Feist offered her opinion on why the l.c.s sat on the floor at that first Cookie Shine. "June nights in Kansas are apt to be hot, humid and filled with small annoyances like June bugs, gnats and chiggers. Eating out of doors could be uncomfortable. Even the dining room, lighted by lamps, would be hot. But the floors of those old brick houses were cool. It could be rather pleasant to sit, Turk fashion, around a linen cloth."

At early Cookie Shines , women seated themselves around a sheet on the floor and consumed cheese, gingersnaps, crackers, pickles, bananas and apples

The tradition was carried from Kansas Alpha to other chapters until the term itself and the occasion for which it stood became an inseparable part of Pi Phi chapter life

Naturally, many local versions of the Cookie Shine developed . In the earlier days, some chapters kept the Cookie Shine very secret, while others invited their gentlemen friends. Some made it purely informal , no one knowing what another person would bring to eat. In later years, when wvidv chapters maintained their own houses , committees were appointed to provide the food that would be most appropriate for the occasion.

Lucinda Smith Buchan, Grand Treasurer (1895) is quoted in the January, 1902 ARROW: "One of the beauties of the Cookie Shine is that when the party is over, the festive board is quickly cleared by gathering up the four corners of the sheet or cloth , and dispatching the fragments unceremoniously, leaving the room as if by magic , clear again .. . "

Cookie Shines are used to honor pledges or initiates, to greet visiting officers or to entertain mothers and fathers Some chapters have Cookie Shines several times a year, while others make them a special event only once or twice a year.

Sugar cookies have become the predominant treat and are often cut in the shape of an arrow or arranged on the floor cloth in the form of an

arrow The arrow theme is found everywhere , its form outlined by candy kisses , popcorn , apples or candy corn. The colors, wine and blue , are frequently used in the form of a specially designed Cookie Shine sheet, or ribbon tunners down the center.

The Collegiate Connection

It is rewarding to read and hear about the many accomplishments of our Chapter House Corporations.

Large or small, each CHe's contribution to the well-being of its chapter means so much. Chapters appreciate and enjoy the advantages of the CHe's efforts.

In Houston this past June , the Sara Shipley Bowers House Corporation Award was awarded to Iowa Beta's CHe. Honorable mention went to the Georgia Alpha CHe. Both of these CHCs are most deserving of this recognition for theIr outstanding achievements and the e r the' chapters.

New purchases and upkeep; facility updating and total reconstruction; hostessing RLRs and chapter celebrations; and serving as the employer for chapter house employees are only a part of the CHe's responsibility.

The scope of CHC activities extends well beyond the physical confines of chapter facilities. CHC

National Panhellenic Badge Day

March 2000 will mark the fourth annual National Panhellenic Badge Day, an effort that encourages sorority women to celebrate their Greek affiliations by wearing thei r badge or letters. The public awareness campaign ti tl ed, "Place it over your heart with pride," is slated fo r Marc h 6, 2000. "National Badge Day gives sorority women of all ages and in all locations a way to show their Greek pride," says Lissa Bradford, Chairman of the NPC.

In an article featured in the Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha , "A Simple Solution-Wear Your Membership Badge Today," writer Nora Ten Broeck explains, "By putting on my membership badge , 1 was able to tell at least 100 people about Alpha Sigma Alpha and Greek life. All 1 did was give people the opportunity to ask about it."

"A badge is a great conversation starter," says Lissa. "It provides the chance to share what Greek membership is-a lifetime opportunity for friendship , leadership , learning and servICe.

For more information about NPC's ational Badge Day, contact the NPC Central Office at (317) 872-3185 or \1sit its Web site at www.greekhfe orgnpc.
