No Vote - No Voice
It's 4 a.m. and as my 8-week old begs for that precious early morningfeeding 1 sit riveted to the latest report on the presidential election Whether you favor MSNBC, Fox News, CNN or one of the three major networks, the coverage is continuous. In an effort to maintain journalistic integrity (An oxymoron? Perhaps.) I'll try to keep my political bias anonymous It 's Tuesday, November 28 and we were supposed to have a new president-elect three weeks ago! Instead , the election mess continues. Will they hand count the Florida votes or won ' t they? Will the Supreme Court decide our next president? Isn't it amazing to think that if you live in Florida fewer than 550 voters may determine the outcome of this election?
Did you vote? Whether you're an Al Gore or George W Bush fan , 50 percent of those who voted are going to be upset by the outcome of this election because their man wasn't elected. If you are one of those who didn ' t vote, I hope you'll remain silent. No vote - no voice.
What does all of this have to do with Pi Beta Phi? The no vote - no voice concept is applicable to the Greek system, as well. How many times have you seen , heard or read about the latest "incident " involving a Greek organization? XYZ Fraternity was caught hazing again. Another Greek student rushed to the hospital with a blood alcohol level high enough to kill a horse. Fraternity members nan-owly escape a hous e fire.
As a Greek , what are you doing about it? Are you remaining silent while there are those who want to see the Greek system disbanded? Are you dismissing the incidents as "Greeks will be Greeks?" Or are you in the trenches with our chapters helping them with the challenges of being an undergraduate today?
If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. How can yo u help? Get involved. If there's a chapter near yo u , contact the Chapter Pres ident and offer your assistance. Let your voice be heard
Just as your individual involvement in th e most recent election can help set the course for the future of our country, so too can your individual involvement with our collegiate chapters help ensure a future for our Fraternity.
It would be a shame if the Greek system, in which each of us has had th e opportunity to participate , were no lon ger around when my daughters are old enou gh to attend co ll ege. I'd hat e to think that I wasn't part of the solution, but part of the problem.
No vote - no voice.

Texas Delta Carolyn Pavletich Lesh, Kentucky Beta Cynthia Arnold and Texas Alpha Ann Dudgeon Phy. Carolyn and Ann are longtime friends of Cynthia's and Joanne's .
I once read " Friends are a ngels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble re membering how to fl y " Fortunately , most of us do not have to go through very man y troubling times , but when we do , Pi Phis are there to lift our wings Eviden ce of this occurred when my dear friend Ke ntucky Beta Cynthia Arnold lo st her mother, Texas BetaJoanne MaGirl Arnold, in a tragic ca r accident. While with Cyn thi a at her hom e in Dallas after th e accident , it was incredible to see the outpourin g of love and support she received from her friends and her mother's friends from around the cou ntry. I know this support was appreciated sinc e Cynthia 's family lives in Ohio , and I hope she never felt alone at this difficult time.
I knew Mrs Arnold from Christmas here in Dallas, the convention in Houston, the Dallas Sty le Show and other personal visits I respected her love and devotion to Pi Phi locally , nationally and at the collegiate level. This devotion was passed on from her own Pi Phi mom and she in tum did an incredible job of passing it on to her daughter Cynthia. Cynthia is very involved with the Dallas, Texas Alumnae Club and is currently serving as Moonlight Angel's ight Group president.
Mrs. Arnold and Cynthia had the bond of moth e r and daughter , but th ey also had the Pi Phi organization bringing them closer together through the eight conventions th ey attended. In Houston they held hands as th ey attended a memorial service for Mrs Arnold ' s own mother who passed away in January 1999 I now hope to b e there to hold Cynthia's hand when we sit together through this same service in Denve r 2001.
I wirnessed how Mrs . Arnold touched the lives of women of all ages from her own pledge class to the collegiate members at Texas Beta Since I am o n the Alumnae AdvisOry Committee at SMU I get to see first hand h e r influence on Pi Beta Phi and how she touched the se young women's lives.
In closing , we s hould as Pi Phis, s trive to be the kind of angeljoanne Arnold was and sti ll is , and remember my friend Cynthia in a ll of our prayers.

After years of wear and tear , the Virginia Gamma Chapter's house was in dire need of a makeover. The furniture was worn, the walls were bare and the decor was plain Thanks to Pi Phi alumnae Co lorado Alpha Marla Martin Wheat and her daughter Virginia Gamma Brittney Hewitt , and former President Amanda Engstrom, the house was redecorated. Working hard over winter break, the trio completed its difficult task. Sisters arrived back at school for the spring semester at a beautiful, elegant house. Thank you Marla, Britrney and Amanda. You all did an amazing job!

She says she has it proudly displayed in h er room. At 94 , Aunt Grace is alert mentally, but can no longer see well enough to write and was eager to let you know how much Pi Phi meant to her at Stetson, as well as through the years. She was, of course, pleased when I became a Pi Phi at Stetson! I now have her badge, as well as my own.
We both send our appreciation for all that Pi Phi stands for and her recognition.

JOSEPHINE CROOK RICH spoke about her experiences as a volunteer in the U.S. Navy's Women Appointed for Voluntary Emergency Services (WAVES) during World War II. At that time, 83,000 women were employed as WAVES,
replacing navy men in the United States who left for overseas duty. After being recommended for the program, josephine quit her job as an accountant at General Electric and passed the rigorous mental and physical testing needed to enter into duty. josephine became a Communication Officer, worl<ing with the codes for all shipping in and out of New Yorl< harbor, which at the time handled 60 percent of the world's shipping, including troop and supply ships for the war. She also relayed information, always in code, about convoys, evasion routes and enemy ship sightings. josephine finished her tour as a lieutenant and underweight.
While at Smith College for her initial training, josephine discovered that there were several Pi Phis in her class, and knowing that Grace Coolidge resided near the school, josephine and a group of Pi Phis decided to invite her to tea. Much to their surprise, Grace accepted and josephine still possesses the picture taken with Grace (above) and the thank you note she wrote to the young women. Currently , dressed in her original uniform , josephine speaks about her WAVES experience at different gatherings such as at a recent meeting of the Cleveland East, Ohio Alumnae Club

Taking Time to Make the Grade
o Make sure you have a daily planner and use it! Have a day-by-day , as well as a weekly overview. Put every assignment and exam in your date book along with work, chapter and campus obligations
• When you feel overwhelmed, break things down into small parts and do them one at a time
• Be a first timer - get it done , and get it done right the first time, but beware of perfectionism. Don ' t waste time regretting things that did not go as planned Set realistic goals.
o Recognize that inevitably some of your time will be spent on activities outside your control and do not get worked up over it

:z: International Badge Day
,
Enduring Values, Eternal Friendships
As a sorority woman, there is much to be proud of on International Badge Day. The member organizations of the Na tional Panhellenic Conference encourage women to become confident leaders on their campuses and in their co m muni ties. Membership in a Greek organization fosters commu n ity responsibility and philanthrupic efforts. Moreover, Greeks know the priceless gift of lifetime friendship. All of these attributes shape college women into responsible citizens and civic leaders of the world community.
"As Greek women around the continent display their badges on International Badge Day , they can take pride in knowing that to be Greek is to embody the enduring values that we all believe in: community involvement and pride , academic achievement , leadership, integrity and lifetime friendships ," PC Chairman and Kappa Kappa Gamma Marian K. Williams says
The theme for this year ' s Badge Day is "Enduring Values, Eternal Friendships ." As part of this day , join women world wide as they reflect on the lasting skills learned while in college and the enduring opportunities that their member groups have offered them .
Last year for Badge D ay, Tennessee D elta Mary Lu Pendergrast Meixell and California Delta Karen Shelton Chevalier wore their badges and posed in front of U S News and World Report, where they work.

New CD
This fall, the Fraternity announced a new Fraternity Orientation tool. This year's pledges received a CD-ROM instead of a traditional paper pledge manual. Included on the CD are video clips of Arrowmont; Fraternity songs; interactive quizzes; and many additional resources previously not available in the pledge manual.
This new tool is also being offered to alumnae of Pi Beta Phi for $25 plus $2.50 shipping and handling. If you ' re interested in a personal copy of this historical piece , contact Central Office (314) 727-7338 .

hean and:mind in a theme that has carried through the year 2000 - and together in so many ways. Pi Phi has been the comwiU continue to thrive, 20 years later, in 200 1 at the 63rd mon denominator m creaong some very special Biennial Convention in Denver, Colorado. The foUowing is friendships. Before this week's end, I have every conan exc.erpt from the opening address of then Grand President, Jean Wtrths Scott, at the 1981 Convention in Dallas, Texas, found in the Summer 1981 issue of The ARROW.
Friendship Is ...
"Friendship" - that's a difficult word to define. If we were to go around the auditorium today and each one define "friendship" in her own personal way, I expect we'd find a multitude of definitions. There have been millions of words written about friendship and yet, because a part of it is love (and that is ultimately inexpressible), even the greatest authors and poets have been unable to perfectly and completely define "friendship." It means something different to each one of us - yet in our Pi Phi friendships there is a "silver link a golden tie" which "in

fidence that your personal definition of "friendship" will have expanded beyond your belief.
Pi Phi is the common denominator - if we had sought some other common denominator, we would have chosen a solely academic society, a service club , or perhaps an organization of purely social aims Bu t aren ' t we glad - we chose Pi Phi! And aren't we glad those first 12 young ladies organized to "cultivate sincere friendship. " The very first object they set forth for Pi Phi in its first constitution was "the advancement of its members in the most delicate yet strong friendship " And those friendships have carried us for 114 AI_ chat and ........ In the convention reaIItradon line, I"I. years.
Pi Phi has changed in those 114 years, but so has life since 1867 The Fraternity has survived war and peace, poverty and abundance. Our popularity, along with that of the whole Greek system , has experienced periods of waning, then of resurgence. We've learned to adjust with the times - but all the while keeping in mind our values and our standards. It's much like being a mother - after you 've spent 12 years learning how to be a mother, your child reaches the teen years - and you have to learn how to be a mother allover again. But your basic values and standards have not changed. After 114 years, I think we can safely and proudly assume that Pi Phi is here to stay And I think we can safely say that the spirit of friendship has contributed to the foundanon of our very existence. The goals, the wisdom and the friendships of our first 12 young ladies have worked to set our direction. It is remarkable that the same friendship experienced by those 12, has now been experienced by more than 129 ,000 And Pi Phi continues to grow .
We've come together this week to learn , to share , to listen , to laugh and to renew the bonds of that very special friendship that crept into our lives on initiation day Co nventi ons provide us with an
opportunity to realize that we are "National." All officers, staff, each chapter, each alumnae club, every collegian , every alumna . .. all together we are "National." Conventions are a time when names become people. It is a time when we get the whole big picture of Pi PhI . .. when friendships become the strengthened ties that bind us. It's a time to have our lives enriched by an association with 1,000 new friends of all ages.
• Friendship Is . . . being 30 , 50 or 70 years oldand understanding a collegian's point of view because you've taken time to understand her. She 's your sister.
• Fnendship Is being a collegIan - and understanding an alumna 's point of view because she has a few more years of experience and maturity She 's your sister.
• Friendship Is knowmg how your Pi Phi sister feels even though no words are spoken, you've listened.
• Friendship Is .. . respect , working together, understandmg, sharing It is a never ending and intricately entwined chain of linked together friends
Pi Phi friendship IS a circle ... no beginning, no ending it Just is.
