CAR Program
The Champions Are Readers (CAR) Literacy Program was adapted by the Links to Literacy Committee in 2003 using the creative concept originated by the Houston, Texas, Alumnae Club. The program is designed to serve as a national/international literacy program that all Pi Beta Phi Alumnae clubs and collegiate chapters can conduct easily. Targeting children in the 3rd grade who are at a critical juncture in developing both good reading skills and a life-long love of reading, CAR supplements reading activities already being provided in the schools and provides an easy program for teachers. Please visit www.pibetaphi.org for more information on CAR.

Arrowmont
Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts began in 1912 as Settlement School and brought education, economic development and health care to rural Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Pi Phis were instrumental in promoting the academic and industrial enrichment of area children, and the Jennie Nicol Health Center was a model for other mountain health facilities until 1965. In conjunction with the University of Tennessee, Settlement School began giving summer craft workshops that were highly successful. These workshops developed into a year-round program of arts education. Today Arrowmont is an internationally known visual arts complex, boasting a renowned faculty and international student body. Please visit www.arrowmont.org and www.pibetaphi.org for more information on Arrowmont.

Arrow in the Artic
Arrow in the Arctic is the Canadian Philanthropy of Pi Beta Phi International Women’s Fraternity. To celebrate the simultaneous Centennials of Canada and of Pi Beta Phi, our 1967 convention in Chicago adopted the Northern Libraries Project as our Fraternity’s Canadian Philanthropy. We are the only Greek organization to have our own Canadian philanthropy. Thanks to the generosity of Pi Phi collegians and alumnae, Arrow in the Arctic continues to make a vital difference to libraries across the vast northern regions of Canada.
