Today, with an active membership of almost 240,000 women, P.E.O. offers the gift of friendship, love, service and philanthropy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Arkansas History” module_id=”about-texas-peo” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n P.E.O. arrived in Arkansas in 1892 with the organization of a chapter in Eureka Springs, and by 1933 there were 11 chapters in Arkansas and our state chapter was established.

Ask around in your community to determine if anyone you know is a P.E.O. or if she knows someone who is a member.<\/p>\n P.E.O. members are proud of the organization and are committed to helping women pursue higher education. Speaking with a P.E.O. in your community will provide an opportunity to learn about their chapter and what P.E.O. means to them.<\/p>\nWelcome<\/h2>\n
