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.
Recommendations about how many normal Pap smears are sufficient prior to decreasing the frequency vary from region to region and from smear taker to smear taker. In Manitoba, Pap smears are recommended every two years, following three normal tests, one year apart.
