PI BETA PHI COLORS Wine and Silver Blue FLOWER Red Carnation OFFICERS Margaret Seamster - Evelyn Eason ----- Earline Campbell - - - - Agnes Soule ----- President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Pi Beta Phi was founded in 1867 at Monmouth College, Illinois, and was the first organiza¬ tion of college women organized with the aims and policies of a national fraternity. It was originally called I. C. Sororis, but in 1888 the name was changed to Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, and as such it is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. The fraternity now has seventy-eight active chapters located in the leading colleges and universities of the United States and Canada. Pi Beta Phi has 144 chartered Alumnae Clubs. The total active membership of the fraternity is approximately 19,000. The fraternity, by voluntary contributions of members and alumnae, maintains a Settlement School at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, established in 1912 as a memorial to the 12 founders of Pi Beta Phi. Situated on over one hundred acres of its own land in eight well-equipped buildings, the school offers work covering eleven grades. It has an enrollment of nearly 150 and a teaching staff of nine members. Arkansas Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi was founded at the University of Arkansas in 1909. A new $40,000 home was completed in February of 1931. The publication is “The Arrow.” Pace 180

The founders, Eleanor Dorcas Pond and Ida Shaw Martin, on that day associated with them twenty under¬ graduates and organized as a national sorority. The spirit of Delta Delta Delta has so been shared that there are now seventy-six college chapters and eighty alumnae chapters in the United States and Canada. Delta Delta Delta now numbers in its membership more than 15,000 women. The local chapter of Delta Delta Delta, Delta Iota, was granted a charter November 15, 1913. The anniversary of the chapter is celebrated annually by the return of Tri Deltas from all parts of the state to the chapter house for the Delta banquet given on that day. Delta Delta Delta sponsors three endowment funds, the National Endowment Fund, the Trident Endowment Fund, and the Visiting Endowment Fund. The sorority is now building up a Thanksgiving Endowment Fund which is to be used for altruistic purposes among college women to further higher education. The three publications of Delta Delta Delta are the Tri¬ reme, the Triglyph, and the Trident. Page 182
