Pi Beta Phi opened the '''[[Pi beta phi settlement school|Pi Beta Phi Settlement School]]''' in [[Gatlinburg, Tennessee]], in 1912 to provide education, economic opportunity, and health care to the rural area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pi Beta Phi Fraternity For Women |url=https://www.pibetaphi.org/philanthropies/arrowmont.html |access-date=2023-04-30 |website=www.pibetaphi.org}}</ref> Over the years, as the community took over childhood education, Settlement School began to adapt by offering arts and crafts classes to preserve and promote the region's crafts tradition. An extension of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School called the Craft Work Shop was begun in 1945 in cooperation with the [[University of Tennessee]].<ref name=knoxnews>Josh Flory, [http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/aug/16/pi-beta-phi-fraternity-sell-arrowmont-land/ Pi Beta Phi fraternity to sell Arrowmont land], Knoxville News Sentinel, August 16, 2008</ref>  Now an independent [[nonprofit organization]] known as the [[Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts]], it is one of the oldest arts and crafts centers in the [[Southern United States|South]].<ref name=knoxnews/>
