The P.E.O. Sisterhood now includes hundreds of thousands of women. It operates Cottey College, a private women's college in Missouri. Roads' quotation "We P.E.O. women would join hands in any movement looking toward the abolishment of war" is used as the slogan of a Sisterhood-funded scholarship intended to promote international peace through access to education for girls. Sisterhood members celebrate Founders' Day on January 21 to honor Roads and her co-founders. Art classes that Roads began in Lincoln are an ancestor of today's Hixson–Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.
