Just curious... to whom does all this $$$ go?
Local charity or Pi Phi philanthropies? Just a little commercial here since I've been to Arrowmont and have a special love for it. It is supported ONLY by Pi PHi... no corporate sponsorships, no one else raises money for it. No other NPC group owns and operates their philanthropy without additional support from SOMEONE. It is truly unique and often misunderstood but if you've ever been there, you'd be proud too.
Last week, I was admiring the woodwork done by the roommate of one of my coworkers. I casually asked her if she'd ever taken a class at Arrowmont. She looked at me funny, as if curious how I knew about an art school in Tennessee but said "yes". I said, I'm a Pi Phi, I've been there. She gave me a hug and thanked me. Her knowledge of what a sorority was is based upon our philanthropic work building and operating a world-class art school....
OK-- I'm on a roll and promise to keep off the soapbox for a while.
