A Messa e from Grand Council
A Salute to the Pi Phi Volunteer
o Questions- Who works for a multi-national, non-profit corpo ration with subsidiaries in 398 cities, that has an annual national TIbudget approximating two million dollars with subsidiaries (chap- ters) whose average budgets approach one half million dollars per year? ... What organization is best known for its quality control, its leadership role in developing program and policy initiatives, its outstanding opportunity for member development and association, and for its putting together of com munity partnerships, collaborations, and national philanthropic projects? Answers- YOU- the Pi Phi volunteer, and Pi Beta Phi Fraternity! In our work as Grand Council members, we are constantly made aware of Pi Beta Phi's evolution into a preeminent international organization rec ognized as an important and influential association. We have a business built on parmership and friendship. We are the original "Old Girl" network, and we've been in the business of Pi Beta Phi for almost a century and a quarter. The opportunities and challenges presented by nearly 170,000 initiated Pi Phi members, 129 chapters and 376 alumnae organizations are met by approximately 130 volunteer national and province officers, committee and resource people. Add to that the 1,300 active Alumnae Advisory Committee and House Corporation members and thousands of alumnae club officers and members, and you will realize that our Fraternity's success is no accident. You, the Pi Phi volunteer, are the real captain of our fraternal industry. You, who serve on AACs, the House Corporations, and Alumnae Club Boards are Pi Beta Phi's unsung, but certainly not unappreciated heroines. You are the union chiefs, the advisors, the planners, mentors, teachers, land lords, creditors, counselors, cheerleaders, and substitute mothers. You pro vide the continuity, the stability for the chapters, the clubs, and the Fraternity. (continued on pg. 23)
