WOMEN'S HEALTH AND PI RHIS IN MEDICINE o me n 's

Women's health is of interest to aU members, of all ages. Covering such a broad-based issue has its challenges. We know we cannot begin to hit all the bases ... we cannot pretend to be the end-all for women's health, nor is that our goal. We decided to approach the subject from a Pi Phi angle and asked our members for their input and expertise. en page 4 begins the first of a two-part sm.es on women's health. Find out more about studies being conducted, pro­ gramming Pi Phi is providing our undergrad- uates, and recommenda----- tions on more healthful living. In addition, some members, in their own words, share stories of their careers in the ever­ changing field of medi­ cine, and others confide how medical situations have changed their lives.

Panhellenic Woman of the Year Named

Several years ago, Pi Beta Phi designated a Panhellenic Woman of the Year Award to be awarded during conventions­ not on a regular basis, but reseJVed for a time when someone exhibited true leadership in the Panhellenic community. The only recipient to date is Barbara Oliver Tootle, Ohio Beta,-recognized by many as having an on-going and incredible influ­ ence on the fraternity world. Pi Beta Phi chose to award its Panhellenic Woman of the Year Award for the second time in the panhellenic setting of the 54th biennial meeting. The recipient is not a Pi Phi. She has been recognized over and over again by her own fraternity. She has seJVed in numerous capacities, among those as National President and as a member of the NPC delegation. She has been recognized for her leadership in arenas beyond her own fraternity. Jean Hess Wells, Kappa Kappa Gamma, was named Panhellenic Woman of the Year. Jean seJVed as Chairman of the NPC Long-Range Planning Committee. In the words of Pi Phi's Jean Scott, PC Chairman, "Tonight we honor her for being the guidmg hand. the guiding light. the creative designer, the behind­ the-scenes architect of all that has taken place in the past two years to set direction for the future of this Conference. The bene­ fits of her leadership. too. will have an incredible influence on the fraternity world. "
