An official publication of Pi Beta Phi Foundation for donors and special friends
A Tribute to Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg
Pi Beta Phi recently lost one of its most influential, dedicated leaders. Past Grand President Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg,
Ohio Alpha, passed away on May 25 of complications from cancer and chemotherapy. She was a visionary leader and a
loyal sister. Past Foundation President Karen Consalus Price, Missouri Alpha, remembers Carolyn in this special tribute.
I first met Carolyn in the receiving line at the Kansas City Convention in 1985 — the
convention where she was elected to the position of Grand President. But, I really got to
know her when I became her assistant in September 1988. In those days, before computers,
email, cell phones, texting and other forms of technology that we take for granted today,
there was an immense amount of daily correspondence between members of Grand
Council, legal counsel, NPC Presidents, university officials and more, and the Grand
President needed an assistant to keep up with the correspondence. It was an amazing way
for me to learn about the inner workings of our organization. I was also in awe of Carolyn
from my first day on the job.
It was not unusual for Carolyn to come into the office (her home) in her sweats, fuzzy
slippers and with rollers in her hair. But when she sat down at her desk, she was all business.

Beta. There was always a legal pad full of draft letters for me to start typing, from
chapter letters to NPC President letters to speeches and even notes to friends or
members who made contributions to the Fraternity’s Friendship Fund (now a

fund through the Foundation). Carolyn was very particular about the format and
precision in her correspondence, and I would type and retype letters until she

technology in the office. We upgraded to a word processor and a dictaphone to
replace the typewriter and legal pads. However, I found that encouraged Carolyn

to produce even more correspondence! Throughout my nearly four years as her

assistant, I was always proud to see the “CHL/kp” at the bottom of all her letters.
But our relationship was not just employer/employee. Carolyn discussed issues
with me and listened to my perspective. She shared her vision for Pi Beta Phi and
modeled servant leadership. She mentored me and helped me to see a much
bigger picture of Pi Phi than I had known previously from my chapter and
alumnae club experiences. She and her husband, Joe, made me feel like a part of
the family. Her dog, Zach, slept at my feet while I worked. We waited together
for news that her younger daughter had pledged Pi Phi at Ohio University,
Carolyn’s chapter. We shared the joy and pride when her older daughter was
elected President of the Ohio Zeta Chapter at Miami University.

124 Sisters Receive Academic Scholarships
For the 2014–2015 academic year, 124 Pi Phis received
$355,500 in scholarships and fellowships, the most
awarded in Foundation history.
If you have followed the scholarship announcements
over the years, you will notice we have been able to say
“the most awarded” for the last few years. While our
support of scholarships has grown thanks to donors,
we cannot take for granted the rising need we see year
after year. Our collegians and alumnae continue to face
tuition costs that outpace families’ earnings. More
collegians are tasked with paying for college on their
own. And, as college and university demands’ upon
students increase, it has become even more
challenging for students to hold down significant
employment. In five years alone, the number of sisters
applying for scholarships has grown 184 percent.
Missouri Gamma Megan Darnell is one of the 124
scholarship recipients this year. Like all applicants,
Megan is an exceptional student, active member of
Pi Phi and dedicated volunteer in her community.
She is also solely responsible for paying for her
education. Megan has worked hard to support herself,
so when she heard she was a scholarship recipient, she
was thrilled.
“I was at work when I received the email telling me I
had received a scholarship,” Megan said. “I jumped out
of my chair and ran and told my boss, who had helped
me apply. She clapped while I jumped up and down
like a little school girl. Then I ran into the break room
to call my mom. She got so excited I had to hold the
phone away from my ear at one point.”
Megan will be a senior this fall at Drury University.
After graduating with a degree in management and
marketing, she hopes to then work toward a master’s
in communication.
“Growing up I never imagined I would be able to
experience all the things college had to offer, but it’s
because of Foundation
donors that I’m going to
graduate and still breathe
easy at night. I come from a
very small town in Missouri.
I was never quite sure if I’d
ever get the chance to spread
my wings, but with the help
of my sisters I’m able to fly.”
See Pages 6 and 7 for a
complete list of scholarship
recipients for the 2014–2015
academic year.

A Tribute to CHL continued from Page 1
When my young sons were sick, they would watch
TV from her sofa. Carolyn was thoughtful, caring and
much softer in person than she liked to portray in public.
There were many changes to our organization in the
years under Carolyn’s leadership. I was there when
Grand Council created Links to Literacy with Illinois
Alpha Jean Egmon as chair, and I saw all the work that
went into forming Pi Beta Phi Foundation. Those were
two important projects for Carolyn. But I think
planning the Banner Parade to premiere at the St. Louis
Convention in 1991 was her proudest achievement to
date. She worked closely with Chairman Karen
Emberton, Kentucky Beta, to approve each and every
banner that was designed by the chapters, and she
agonized over the details for the actual event. I can still
remember the chills I got seeing that magical moment
in person.
Not long after Carolyn retired after eight years on
Grand Council, her husband was diagnosed with
cancer. She spent the next few months caring for him in
every way possible. After he passed away in early 1992,
Carolyn moved to Atlanta to be closer to her daughters
and friends. We didn’t get to see each other as often as
we liked, but we always caught up at convention. She
was also very proud of me as I moved up the ranks as a
Fraternity officer. The first hug I received after being
elected to Grand Council in 2001 was from Carolyn.
We actually got to work together on the Arrowmont
Board of Governors for many years — she as Vice
President and me as Ex Officio for the Fraternity. We
also attended Pi Phi Arts Weekends together for eight
straight years. That was where I got to see the artistic,
creative Carolyn at work. She loved designing and
producing stained glass, fused glass and even jewelry in
a metalwork class. She also loved to plan parties, and
the Derby Parties during Arts Weekends were always so
much fun! If you haven’t seen South Carolina Alpha Sis
Mullis wearing jockey silks, you haven’t lived!
In 2012, Pi Beta Phi presented the city of Gatlinburg
with Centennial Plaza to commemorate Pi Beta Phi’s
100 years of literacy efforts in the region. At the center

Denver, Colorado.
of the plaza is a statue of a teacher and a child. Carolyn,
as chairman of the project, researched and found the
artist who would be commissioned to create the statue.
She worked with the artist to make sure the statue was
perfect, from the detailed image of Miss Dell to naming
the student, Max, in honor of her grandson. The plaza is
a wonderful tribute to the Fraternity, but also to
Carolyn’s dedication to our organization.
For the last year I have served as President of Pi Beta Phi
Foundation’s Board of Trustees. My first thought when
I assumed this position was that I had to take good care
of Carolyn’s baby. I knew the work that went into the
formation of the Foundation, and I knew how
important it was to her and how proud she was of all
that has been accomplished in the last twenty four
years. The Foundation’s theme for this last year has been
“Behind every great Pi Phi ... is another great Pi Phi.”
Carolyn was that great Pi Phi behind me — always
mentoring and encouraging me. My term as President
ended in June, and I know that she was pleased with
the good work we have done this last year. Pi Beta Phi
has lost a visionary leader, and I have lost a dear friend.
However, I have not lost the cherished memories of our
times together and all that she taught me.

Young Alumna Plans for Her and Pi Phi’s Future
When Indiana Theta Amanda Rychtanek graduated from Valparaiso University in 2013 and started her career, she
designated a planned gift to Pi Beta Phi Foundation. What prompted her to make such a forward-thinking decision so
young in her career? Read below to find out.
If you chatted on the phone with Amanda or met her in person, you would likely be
blown away by her maturity and her passion for Pi Phi. During formal recruitment
at Valparaiso University in 2009, she kept a journal and asked herself (among other
things) “Where do I want to be in four years?”
Indiana Theta Amanda
Rychtanek, top, joined the
Marianne Reid Wild Society for
planned giving after college
graduation.
Amanda not only asked herself that question,
she started making decisions and setting goals
that led her to becoming the woman she is
today. Amanda joined Pi Phi and embraced the
membership experience. She became a leader in
her chapter and excelled at school. Her sisters
were also her support system. While in college,
two of Amanda’s grandparents passed away. “My
Pi Phi family was my family during those tough
times,” Amanda said. “I really depended on my
sisters, and they were there for me.”
In college, Amanda started thinking about her
financial future. At the ripe old age of 18, she
opened a Roth IRA. When she graduated and became a Fixed Income
Associate at Morgan Stanley, she decided to designate a portion of her life
insurance policy to Pi Beta Phi Foundation. “As a collegian, I saw how the
leadership development opportunities Pi Phi provided really changed lives.
My sisters grew and became better women because of Pi Phi. I benefited (and
still do) from my membership. I want sisters, those I’ll never even meet, to
benefit as well.”

Amanda acknowledges long-term planning isn’t always top of mind for young
alumnae. It can also be confusing and overwhelming to think about the future
as women navigate their careers, families and volunteer roles. For Amanda,
setting up a plan for Pi Phi’s future was a decision she knew she wouldn’t
regret. “Knowing that other sisters will be supported because of my planned
gift was motivation enough for me.”

Sisters Support Reading and Education in Chicago
This spring, the Lake Shore, Illinois, Alumnae Club put its literacy dollars to work for Chicago public schools. The club
designated a Local Impact Grant for City Year Chicago, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students succeed in
under-served schools.
City Year is a national organization with 25 locations across the United
States. Established 20 years ago, City Year Chicago currently employs 206
highly-skilled AmeriCorps members to serve as peer mentors, helping
students stay on track and in school. Corps members log roughly 1,700 hours
each year. The work is challenging, but for corps members like Jane Carper,
it’s also extremely rewarding.
Jane serves full-time at Tilden
Community Career Academy High
School in South Side Chicago. At
Jane Carper is one of 206 AmeriCorps
members who works one-on-one with
Tilden, Jane works side by side with
students in Chicago’s public schools.
an English teacher for three hours per
day, assisting 40 freshmen
during class and providing individual tutoring to 11 students. She also helps
ten students track their attendance and mentors six freshmen during lunch.
At the beginning of the school year, most of the freshmen students Jane
tutored were reading at 4th–8th grade levels and were too intimidated to
read aloud in class. During one-on-one sessions, Jane created a safe space for
students to build confidence reading out loud and spent time modeling
fluency by reading to the students. Her biggest joy has been seeing her
students find their voice — students asking for large roles when the class read
through “Romeo and Juliet” or speaking passionately with their peers when
connecting to the theme of books like “Our America.”
“Literacy is one of my passions, and it’s so wonderful to see my students
improve throughout the year,” Jane said. “So many of these students just
need someone to say ‘you can do it’ or ‘let’s try together,’ and it makes all of
the difference in the world.”
Thanks to alumnae organizations like the Lake Shore, Illinois, Alumnae
Club, AmeriCorps members like Jane will continue to have a powerful
influence on the lives of struggling students.
