The symbols of the fraternity - including its colors, jewels, flower, and mascot - showcase the unique personality of Theta Phi Alpha. Our mascot, the penguin, was chosen in the 1980s because it is the symbol of friendship.
In the United States, Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65. However, other countries do not recommend pap testing in non-sexually active women. Guidelines on frequency vary from every three to five years.
How often you have a Pap smear depends on your age and previous Pap smear results. The latest guidelines from ACOG suggest that: Women in their 20's should have a Pap smear every 3 years. Women in their 30's to 65 years of age should undergo screening every 3-5 years.
