Since this is my final message for the Quarterly, it seems appropriate to reflect upon the time I’ve served as your International Executive Board (IEB) president and the changes and improvements our Fraternity has experienced since my 1998 installation.* Alpha Phi has certainly come a long way in four years. Change is never easy, but it is an inevitable part of life – one that proves extremely rewarding if you are able to bear its labor long enough to enjoy the fruition of your efforts. Jean Cameron Tindall During my presidential acceptance speech in 1998, I stated that for Alpha Phi to achieve the goals originally set in the Strategic Plan and reach our goals as a Board and Fraternity, the process would take three to five years of hard work and transition. I’m happy to report that we are finally realizing the benefits of our patience and perseverance and reaching our goals. We successfully implemented board governance and are using it to guide our actions today. How rewarding it is to take a written document and make the concept work in real life. Under board governance, the board no longer manages; it governs, and staff manages. With the Board in a governing role, it allows IEB members to reach out to our sisters in a way never before possible. We are concentrating on connecting with members who were not previously heard and representing a broader sampling of Alpha Phis’ needs. In short, we as a Board are now more accessible to you. Since the Board is now busy determining members’ needs and which segments of the membership to serve, staff and volunteers can keep their focus on designing and delivering relevant solutions in an efficient and timely manner. With such welldefined roles, overall progress is quickened and the end product is more effective. We’ve grown closer to members through our most recent IEB effort – the establishment of the Coffee Connections outreach series (see article p. 7) – and continue to reach out to the members to identify individual needs and current trends and keep our Fraternity goals relevant. We’ve grown in number, too. During this biennium, we installed four new chapters: Kettering (IE), Colorado School of Mines (IF); DePaul (IG) and Wilfrid Laurier (I ) and closed only two: Franklin and Marshall (F ) and NC State (E ). I am certain the 2002-04 Board will continue moving ahead with the positive momentum that has been established. If I were asked to offer advice to the newly installed Board, I would lead them to the ivy – one of our beloved Fraternity symbols – for guidance. Ivy is elegant and grows with grace, however when closely examined, its great strength and endurance is discovered. As a Board member, I found this combination was ideal. The right mix of strength, endurance and elegance allows Alpha Phi to accomplish goals with a great sense of pride. It’s been both a pleasure and an honor to serve as your president. Thank you all for your support throughout these four challenging years.

Serving and Supporting:
Alpha Phis Dedicate Themselves to
Country & Community
Service and support are at the heart of Alpha Phi. We learn the importance of serving others through philanthropy and support each other through bonds of sisterhood. With these same values evident in the armed forces and local police, fire and emergency medical services, it is not surprising that a number of Alpha Phis work and volunteer in these careers. The Quarterly profiles five Alpha Phis, one from each U.S. military branch* and one representing the emergency services industry. Each reflects on how she has been influenced by Alpha Phi and how her life has changed since Sept. 11.
Commanding the Navy Grace Sheehan (B -USC) is a decorated U.S. Navy captain and commanding officer of the Enlisted Placement Management Center, New Orleans. Serving for more than 20 years, Grace’s specialty is personnel and training. However, her assignments have ranged from tracking Russian ships, submarines and aircraft for Naval Intelligence during the Cold War to notifying families of those killed during the terrorist bombing of the USS Cole to training people to control ships at the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (Dahlgren, Va.).

Grace’s father, a retired Navy jet pilot, influenced her to join the Navy when it began to accept women in the pilot program during the mid-1970s. She describes the irony, “I joined the Navy just because I wanted to fly, but I was not accepted [into the pilot program]. Only 15 women were accepted the year I graduated.” Grace says being passed up for a pilot position led her in an unexpected direction, which proved to be a very fulfilling Naval career. Her most recent accomplishment is receiving her master’s degree in strategic studies from the Naval War College (Newport, R.I.).

“One of the most
Jumping in the Army Another Phi whose father influenced her desire to join the military is Stephenie Wilson Robertson (E -NC State), a former engineer officer and paratrooper in the U.S. Army. Now a member of the Army Inactive Ready Reserves, she is employed as a chemical engineer at a pharmaceutical plant in Raleigh, N.C. “I grew up on military bases. Serving in the military runs in my blood,” says Stephenie. “The biggest influence on my career was my father, a retired Army colonel. My grandfather is a Pearl Harbor survivor and my uncle is a Vietnam Navy veteran. It only seemed natural to me to want to serve.” “I remember watching my father jump out of planes,” Stephenie says of her influence to become a paratrooper. She adds that although many of the
Army’s more physically-demanding positions are fairly limited for women, she found being a paratrooper provided the mental and physical challenge she desired. Flying proudly Rather than jumping out of planes, Air Force Reserves Captain and American Airlines® Pilot Michelle Turner (B -Colorado) prefers to control them. When she is not piloting passenger jets for American®, you can find her flying C-130 aircraft for the Reserves in Milwaukee, Wis. “I decided as a high school junior that I wanted to be a pilot,” says Michelle. “My dad (also a pilot

for American Airlines®) took me out to the local airport for lessons. I received my private license by senior year.” After college, Michelle began serving with the Milwaukee Air Force Reserves and was sent to C130 and pilot training, officer training school and survival school. She’s been with the Reserves since 1995 and worked for a major airline since 1999. “We are on call like any other Reserve unit, for any sort of national emergency or wartime situation,” says Michelle. “When we are not deployed, we train and make sure we are prepared to deploy at a moment’s notice in defense of our country.” The few, the proud … Lisa Ann Heflin’s (E -Texas A&M) service led her to Washington, D.C. Now a U.S. Marine
Corps veteran, Lisa Ann served prior to college and was stationed at Headquarters Marine Corps working in public relations. “It was great because I was able to see parts of the Pentagon, White House and even the west wing,” says Lisa Ann. “Most of my exposure was via carrying documents back and forth, but it was exciting - especially for a 19-year-old private first class. Plus, working in the nation’s Capitol was a great learning experience.” She continues, “One of the most important lessons I learned in the Marines is that no matter your rank or position, your service supports our nation. It doesn’t matter if it is a desk job or

Serving the community Shauna Perry ( M-Maine) answered the call to serve at the community level, working in emergency

medical services (EMS) since 1999 and as a firefighter since 2000. She is currently studying to become a paramedic. During college, Shauna volunteered as an attendant for the University of Maine Volunteer Ambulance Corps. “I had such a tremendous time observing how EMS worked firsthand that I decided to take emergency medical technician (EMT) courses at a neighboring technical college,” says Shauna. “My career just took off from there!” Since, she has worked as a CPR instructor, dispatcher and for a local volunteer service, and she is a founding member of the nearby Bowdoinham (Maine) EMT Service. The firefighting began “as kind of a joke,” says Shauna. She responded to a flier on campus recruiting people to join the town fire department. It turned out to be a position she couldn’t refuse, paying for room, training and half of boarding expenses. “I was one of five students hired as a student fire marshal. I responded to all trouble alarms in dorms, was responsible for dormitory fire inspections each week and was on call at the fire department on alternating nights,” says Shauna. That “joke,” she says, became a very exciting aspect of her career.
“Occasionally, I had to attend meetings in uniform after work. Sisters always got a kick out of it,” she says. “Or I’d be rehearsing for a chapter skit, my pager would go off and I had to run out. They were really understanding.” Lisa Ann, who pledged Alpha Phi as an older student after serving in the Marines, agrees, “I think sisters were shocked at my vocation at first, but they were always very supportive. I was very lucky to find a great chapter whose members appreciate me for who I am.” When dressed in her Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) uniform during college, Grace says sorority sisters “teased me big time! Thursday was drill day and we had to go to class in uniform. I wouldn’t walk from The Row on my own - only with other ROTC guys.” However, she continues, “I would set up my sisters with ROTC guys for formal events. They got a kick out of that.” Stephenie says chapter members were proud of her involvement in ROTC, “It was something a lot of sisters bragged about to potential members during recruitment. In addition, they knew how strongly I felt about the military because my father left to serve in Operation Desert Storm about a month after I pledged Alpha Phi.”

Salute Sisters to
Support beyond college The women agree that Alpha Phi support really is for a lifetime. To this day, there is a close-knit group of about 20 chapter sisters who have traveled to every location Grace has been assigned. “They have trudged to bizarre rural duty stations as well as great places where they got umbrellas in their drinks. They’ve been there for promotions, changes of command and just to surprise me,” says Grace. “When I said I was thinking about retiring recently, I was hissed and booed and told it was voted down in chapter. I personally think this is because they need new places to visit every couple of years!” Alpha Phis were present during Stephenie’s commissioning ceremony and wrote letters when she was deployed to Bosnia for Operation Joint Endeavor in 1996. Stephenie’s husband, an officer with the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, was sent to Afghanistan in June. She says she continues to feel the support she did in college, “I know I will lean on sisters a lot during his time there.” Michelle finds similar support, which “helps me get through some of the tough times regarding possibly being activated and having to deploy for six months to a year.” She continues, “I know I can count on my Alpha Phi sisters to be there for me and help in any way possible. They have been wonderful friends and a great support system throughout my military career.” Sorority, military similarities The women compare sorority affiliation to military commitment, noting that both foster environments of community service and charitable giving and both serve as surrogate families. Grace says, “When times got tough I knew the Navy was there for me as an organization and that its people were supportive - very much like my Phi sisters.” She adds, “You join together with these people, establish working relationships and build life-long relationships. You have the reinforcement of family in the Navy, similar to a sorority.” Between the two, she says, “Everywhere I go, I run into someone I know!”
Serving Canada’s Armed Services In addition to attending school full-time, working as a Canadian employee of the U.S. Consulate in Vancouver, serving as vice president of public relations for the University of British Columbia’s Panhellenic and as an elected member of the Delta (B.C.) community school board, Nicole Barnett (BΘ-British Columbia) serves as a reserve officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. She was recently promoted from officer cadet to second lieutenant. As part of the Army Cadets of the Royal Westminster Regiment, she teaches cadets about leadership, citizenship, self-respect and self-discipline. She also serves as recruiting and public Nicole Barnett affairs officer. “After I finish my degree I aspire to become the first female Chief of Defense staff member in Canada before I become the Canadian Ambassador to the United States,” says Nicole. “Yes it’s ambitious, but so was running in the city school board election and applying for a job at the U.S. Consulate, and I accomplished both!”
Showing Support as a Military Spouse April Feary Schley (IA-Pepperdine) is a new Army spouse (as of one year) living in Germany. “I have been continually inspired by the level of dedication and sacrifice characteristic of many military spouses,” says April. “Many give up careers, the luxury of having children grow up in one place and seeing spouses on a regular basis. Most families move every two to three years.” Her husband, Ryan, was deployed to Saudi Arabia in September, “Alpha Phi taught me many skills that I use daily in my role as an Army spouse: leadership, support, independence. The philanthropy experience I took from Alpha Phi has been invaluable. Since jobs are very limited, I volunteer on the military base almost full-time. Military spouses serve their country every day by supporting those in uniform. I often wonder if there are other Alpha Phi military spouses ... what a wonderful support system that would be!”

“As a veteran and an American, I pray people remember that freedom is not free.”
According to Michelle, “There is no greater feeling than making a difference in someone’s life. Joining the Reserves and serving my country has allowed me to do just that … from those to whom we deliver humanitarian goods to those affected by the Sept. 11 tragedies, not to mention the impact the experience has had on my own life. There is a sense of accomplishment and pride in serving my country. I think Alpha Phi is a wonderful teacher of service before self. It also is a wonderful teacher of leadership skills. I take what I learned from Alpha Phi and use it often in service to our country and in my everyday life.” Changes since Sept. 11 Since the tragic events of Sept. 11, those who protect and defend our country and communities in the armed forces and local police, fire or emergency medical services have received support not only from peers and sisters; they’ve been revered by the country. Sadly, it took a national tragedy for this muchdeserved recognition.

“People now stop me in the street when I’m in uniform and thank me for serving,” says Grace. “In 24 years, I’ve never had strangers do that. It’s a great feeling to be assured your country appreciates what you’re doing.” Obviously, she adds, the military environment has changed too. There is increased security every-

where, including stricter rules on military bases, ports, etc.: “My husband is on a ship. I used to be able to park on the pier when I’d go see him. Now I’m not allowed on the pier at all … A lot more people are going to sea.” She continues, “Everyone hears that we’re at war, but we know the reality of it.” Shauna confirms that the emergency services industry also has changed, “We used to be able to drive up to a hospital and leave the ambulance engine running. Now the vehicle must be in sight and turned off.” “Security issues are brought to light every day,” says Michelle about her Reserves duty. “We are much more careful regarding all aspects of security.” But she also mentions something that is in the back of everyone’s minds, especially those in the military: “As a pilot, there is a chance I could be activated to fly missions similar to those we hear about in the news. The time period could vary from 30 days to a year away from my family and friends. That is just a reality of the job.” Lisa Ann concludes, “As a veteran and an American, I pray people remember that freedom is not free. Every day we pay for it in some way, somewhere around the world, with the lives of our men and women.”

IEB Introduces Coffee Connections The Alpha Phi International Executive Board (IEB) introduced in April, Coffee Connections, a new outreach series to encourage communication between members and the IEB. The first Coffee Connection brought together Chicago-area alumnae and collegians and was held at the Alpha Phi Executive Office, Evanston, Ill. The event provided sisters the opportunity to discuss the Fraternity’s future with the IEB over coffee and sweets. Those in attendance talked about the need to stay connected to Alpha Phi throughout their lives, the importance of Fraternity values, the need to further extend Alpha Phi’s image and the necessity of providing relevant programming at all stages of life. The IEB plans to take Coffee Connections to several cities across North America to gain face-to-face feedback from members. Through these programs, the Board gains valuable ideas and insight and updates members on the latest Fraternity news. Input from each session is documented and used to set and refine the Strategic Direction of the Fraternity. Look in your mail for more information about a Coffee Connection coming to your area.

Each year, alumnae of Alpha Phi are asked to support the Fraternity by paying their International alumnae dues ($20.00) and Founders’ Day pennies ($1.30). This money directly supports the Fraternity’s programs and initiatives and allows Alpha Phi to deliver the support systems and services our members desire. Some of these services include sending educational leadership consultants to the collegiate chapters, developing the Fraternity’s Web site to allow greater alumnae communication and improving services to the leadership of the local alumnae chapters. This is just a small sampling of how you can directly help Alpha Phi! There are three ways you can pay your alumnae dues and Founders’ Day pennies: • Send a check for $21.30 U.S. ($20.00 dues plus $1.30 for Founders’ Day pennies) or $32.38 Canadian payable to Alpha Phi International to: Alumnae Membership, Alpha Phi International, 1930 Sherman Ave., Evanston, IL 60201. • Call 847.316.8940 and we will process your dues payment over the telephone. • Pay online at www.alphaphi.org/alumnae_info/dues.html. What if you just paid your dues a month or two ago? The dues cycle is similar to the academic year and runs from July 1-June 30, which means you paid your 2002 dues with that payment. Alpha Phi needs your support for all the projects in the upcoming year! Don’t delay. Pay your 2003 dues today and support Alpha Phi. For more information visit our Web site at www.alphaphi.org
Northeast Region FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONN.

BUFFALO AREA, N.Y. Under Tracey Rosenthal Drury’s (ΘE-SUNY/Buffalo) charge, Buffalo alumnae have been energizing the chapter since January 2001. Taking advantage of Buffalo’s most famous asset, the frigid weather, alumnae held a well-attended ice skating event. Hot chocolate, ice skates, great conversations and an opportunity to meet new friends and reunite with familiar Buffalo area alumnae were highlights. Other events included a March “happy hour,” a May mimosa brunch to honor “silver sisters” and new alumnae and a Progressive Desserts and Drinks event in early summer. In keeping with the tradition of philanthropy, several sisters were involved in fundraisers during spring. Karen Conrad (∆P-Ball State) is the philanthropy chair of the Greater Buffalo Alumnae Panhellenic. She coordinated a wonderful event in April, Dying in the Chapel. Many Buffalo area alumnae attended this murder mystery dinner theater to support Karen and the Panhellenic Association. Shelly Emens DiGiulio (∆-Cornell) volunteers for March of Dimes® WalkAmerica® and Tracey Drury is involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters® Bowl-athon.

She will move back to Arizona and has already started forming a new [alumnae chapter] there. “‘When I was 18 and took the oath to be a lifelong member, I committed a part of my life to Alpha Phi,’ she said. ‘If I can give a little time to an organization that has given me an amazing collegiate and graduate experience, then I will do what I can.’” For information on establishing or revitalizing an alumnae chapter near you, contact the Executive Office at alumnae@alphaphi.org or 847.475.0663.

More than 50 celebrities participated in the game or enjoyed the festivities. According to Jennifer, “It was featured in People Magazine and InStyle and picked up by 90 media feeds that night. The event raised almost $90,000 for EGPAF!” One of the celebrities in attendance was Alpha Phi’s own Kimberly Williams (BNorthwestern). “We exchanged stories about Alpha Phi (including the handshake!),” says Jennifer. Jennifer helped organize the event in her spare time, involving her law firm and several other Los Angeles Community businesses as well.

Outstanding Adviser: Providing Support to Collegians Sticky Situations Are Part of Advising Sometimes an adviser and her board have to help a chapter work through situations that do not reflect Alpha Phi ideals. This was the case for Dayton (F ) Chapter Adviser (CA) Gina Bradley Feller (EAAshland). Last April, the advisory board learned of possible risky behavior affecting new members. The board discussed it with Executive Office staff and put probationary terms into play immediately. “As a result of the probation, the chapter refocused on the values and principles of Alpha Phi,” says Gina. “It was a difficult time for both the chapter and the advisory board. I told the women as much as I love them, I hate that this happened. The board worked with the women to make sure they understand the implications and ensure this type of activity doesn’t happen again.” “We’re special,” she continues. “We’re not just any other sorority or fraternity. We’re not like everybody else. We hold ourselves to a higher standard.” The chapter’s behavior returned to what the advisory board considers an accurate representation of Alpha Phi, and probation was lifted in February 2002. According to Director of Collegiate Membership Linda Long Boland ( J-CSU/Long Beach), “Gina and the members of her board have taken responsibility to educate the members, and they’ve helped the chapter refocus on Alpha Phi values.” Part of the success of overcoming this challenge comes from the trust established between chapter members and the advisory board, says Gina. In addition to the excellent relationships she and her four advisory board members formed with the chapter, “We maintain a good rapport and practice good communication with the women.” Continued education Gina says although she’s been CA since 1998 and on the board since 1995, “I continue to learn every day. Advisers are great resources for each other, not only within an advisory board, but especially within
SUMMER 2002
regions. It’s important to take advantage of networking opportunities such as e-mail, conferences and conventions. It also is nice that we can go to the Executive Office with questions or concerns.” Advisers take on a variety of roles depending on a given situation, says Gina. “I tell collegians that first I am their sister (sometimes collegians forget that), I am their friend but I also have to uphold the rules.” Gina, a member of the Dayton alumnae chapter since 1998, says she likes working with collegians because it differs from participating as an alumnae group member: “It’s important to me that I’m helping guide these women and hopefully making a difference in their lives. That is what happened to me; I still keep in touch with the advisers who influenced me when I was an undergraduate.” “Having a collegian say thank you or ask me to be a reference for a scholarship or another application indicates that I’m doing a good job,” continues Gina. “I try to be a role model. I try to instill my experiences and Alpha Phi’s importance to me. If I can help collegians decide to continue involvement as an alumna, then I’ve done what I’m supposed to do.” She admits her active involvement with the chapter does take time: “You have to dedicate yourself and be able to do so without interfering with other aspects of your life. You need a strong personal support system as well as a strong advisory board.” In addition, she says she receives support from her employer. The assistant prosecuting attorney says, “I have a boss who is really understanding and lets me take time off when it does not interfere with work. There are times when Alpha Phi is really hectic, but somehow, I’ve managed to work everything around it.” Gina, her advisory board and her support system are obviously working well together. Zeta Psi matched quota of 28 during a successful winter recruitment and maintained its standing as a top chapter on campus. And thanks to Gina and her advisory board, the chapter has taken responsibility to ensure its future behavior will be a positive reflection on Alpha Phi.

We were able to stay involved in the Greek community by showing that we are a united sisterhood and that we wished all the women going through spring recruitment the best of luck. We were able to recruit two new members due to some sisters leaving the chapter. With a recruitment team like ours, we knew we were getting the best of the best.

Meet the 2002 – 03
Educational Leadership Consultants
July marks the start of a 10-month journey for the Fraternity’s 2002-03 Educational Leadership Consultant (ELC) team. During this time, these young women will participate in an in-depth training program, travel tens of thousands of miles, meet Alpha Phi women from all across North America, spend time in multiple cafeterias, dorm rooms and chapter houses, live out of a suitcase and see places they’ve never before seen. ELCs work with Alpha Phi’s collegiate leadership to increase rushing strength, improve chapter programming, create marketing plans and provide our members with the foundation for a well-rounded Alpha Phi experience. They challenge our chapters to think creatively and actively plan for the future. Consultants represent the knowledge and key messages found within our entire Fraternity, which allows them to work with all chapters effectively. Following a three-week training program at the Executive Office, the 2002-03 consultant team begins chapter visits in August. Whether a consultant visits one chapter or 30, the experience is one that will last a lifetime – and one that these young women will utilize throughout their lives. If you are interested in the educational leadership consultant program, contact Keri Miller (∆P-Ball State) at 847.316.8927 or kmiller@alphaphi.org. Application deadline is January 10, 2003.

Coming Full Circle After Seven Years of Service, Nancy Craig Returns to her College Town Editor’s Note: Foundation Manager of Public Relations Emily Ellison (ΓI-Texas Tech) sat down with outgoing Foundation Executive Director Nancy Owen Craig (BX-Bucknell) prior to her departure. The interview follows.
The Florida sun beats down as she walks across the golf course in 3-inch heels. Beads of sweat form. She wonders for the 100th time why she didn’t bring just one pair of sneakers.
The 2000-02 Foundation Board of Directors honored Nancy Owen Craig (BXBucknell), back right, and Michelle Marchant (ΛUC/Berkeley), front right, during the spring Board meeting at the Executive Office. Nancy retired as Foundation executive director in May. Michelle completed her term as Foundation Board secretary in June.
“It was 1996 – my first Convention as Foundation executive director. I didn’t want to dress wrong and embarrass the Board, so I took 18 pairs of high heels and three suitcases filled with every possible outfit,” says Nancy Owen Craig (BV-Bucknell). Seven years, three Conventions and 100-plus shoes later, Nancy retired from the Alpha Phi Foundation executive director position at the end of May.
Why to Pennsylvania? My husband is a visiting professor at Bucknell, my alma mater. I’ve heard that alumni often retire to their old school town, but I “During never thought I’d be one of them. the 1996 Convention I’ll miss Chicago – the fantastic we celebrated the Foundation’s restaurants and art galleries. birthday with a 1950s theme party. Lewisburg has one main street. But I love the Pennsylvania I wrote special songs, but I couldn’t hills. And I’ll be closer find anyone to play the piano. Nancy (but not TOO close) to our stepped up to play beautifully. She is children. talented in many areas! And she has
a lot of shoes.”
So what will you do? Not play golf or travel. Some consulting work for the Foundation. Maybe a new career? I’ve never run a restaurant or been in retail …
–Sheila George Bright (ΓI-Texas Tech), former South Central Region Foundation Liaison and former Foundation Director
I thought you were retiring? But my life’s been so interesting because I’ve been able to try all sorts of things. Why not more?
Is that how you came to the Foundation – trying something different? I was a development professional at a private school in Syracuse, N.Y. My husband’s job took him to Chicago, and I went along happily, giving up my career. I’d never visited Chicago and thought it a little Western town, with cows from the stockyards running down the streets. Surprise! It’s a sophisticated and yet friendly city. The only cows I’ve seen are the art pieces on the sidewalks two years ago. And the Foundation? Another surprise. I never thought that an Alpha Phi life might exist for me at my age. I answered a blind ad in a professional journal for this job. It said, ‘WANTED: Fund Raiser for Evanston Women’s Group.’ I remember thinking, ‘Must be Alpha Phi. I’d better put my membership on my resume.’ The rest is history? When I came here, a wonderful program was already in place. Volunteers and staff worked for years to put the right foundation in place for the Foundation!
“The Foundation has done much more than ‘keep up with the times.’ We are a leader in the Greek world and in philanthropy – much to the credit of Nancy’s leadership and ability to take risks.” –Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (∆ΘWestern Michigan), Foundation Vice Chairman

“I believe the Foundation will continue to grow and change for the better because Nancy has established an effective and talented staff. The Board of Directors and staff are ready and able to continue the good works of the Foundation.”
Best idea? Our Young Alumnae newsletter. It’s helped our youngest members become Foundation supporters.
–Barbara Thomas (ΓI-Texas Tech), former Foundation Director and former IEB Vice President
It was time to soar. And we did. Board members led the way with extremely generous gifts. Their enthusiasm rubbed off onto other Alpha Phis. Collegiate and alumnae chapter gifts now total almost $300,000 – an amount that makes any Greek group proud.
How do you deal with the ups and downs of fundraising and management? I’m a very positive person. But I’m a realist, too … know the problem and deal with it. Accept and move on without rancor. Make things better. Try new ideas. Never say never. Laugh a lot.

“With her direction revenues tripled, scholarships grew, new programs were added, publications updated. I would not have missed the ride with Nancy … we’ve become such good friends,”

In Memory of a Sept. 11 Victim I wanted to bring to your attention another victim of the Sept. 11 attacks. Cora Hidalgo Holland, mother of Stephanie Holland-Brodney ( J-Rochester), was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 11. Stephanie and her brother were on CNN for “Larry King Live” to talk about Cora and that September day. Many of Stephanie’s Alpha Phi friends remember Cora fondly. I’d like to share something that Louise Aibel Litt ( J-Rochester) wrote for a newsletter we produce for Theta Kappa members: “I had the privilege and pleasure of being a bridesmaid in Stephanie and Vic’s wedding in July 1994. It was so exciting to be a part of the event, and we all arrived days before the wedding to fit in all of the important pre-nuptial activities. The Hollands were incredibly hospitable to the funloving bridesmaid group throughout the extended weekend; I know we were quite a handful. From the moment I entered her home, Stephanie’s mother was lovingly relentless in the way she continually offered a changing array and neverending stream of food and beverages. This began when I set foot in the house and really did not let up. Despite all of the demands on the mother of the bride the weekend of her daughter’s wedding, Cora Holland made the other bridesmaids and me feel like one of her daughters.” “Cora Holland had a gift – a gift of warmth – that was apparent to me instantly and made quite an impression. It was a long time before I saw that kind of warmth again, but I know exactly when I saw it. If any of you had the chance to see Stephanie with her beautiful children, Drew and Amelia, then you too have seen the sparkle of Cora Holland.” The weekend before [her death], a group of us got together in Massachusetts to celebrate 10 years of being Alpha Phis. Who would have known how events would change so quickly? Ironically, that reunion gave Cora Holland a chance to spend quality time watching her two grandchildren. You will be proud to know how much support our group of Alpha Phis have shown.”

I did not know Cora Holland personally and I wish I had the opportunity. But from what I have read and learned from her friends (and knowing how Stephanie is), I know she was a remarkable woman. Survivors are Cora’s husband, Stephen, her three children (Stephanie Holland-Brodney, Jessica Holland and Nate Holland), and two grandchildren (Drew and Amelia). I traditionally send whatever is left [from local newsletter funds] to Alpha Phi on behalf of the chapter’s newsletter subscribers. This year, I chose to produce the last issue for free, match the remaining funds and send a check to the Alpha Phi Foundation on behalf of 2001 subscribers in memory of Cora Hidalgo Holland. Yours in Alpha Phi, –Zita J. Sidas (hJ-Rochester)
More for Phis Interested in Travel It is always a pleasure to read the Alpha Phi Quarterly issues my daughter, Caryn Schultz (FAEastern Illnois), shares with me. Because of my background as a travel instructor, I was especially interested in the Spring 2002 article entitled, “Interested in a Travel Career?” This article included good advice about the possibilities of a travel career. I thought I would share a couple of other Web sites that might be of benefit to the Fraternity: www.ISTTE.org The International Society of Travel & Tourism Educators site not only has good information, but also a list of reputable travel schools. www.ICTA.com The Institute of Certified Travel Agents site has a lot of good tips and a list of travel schools as well. If I can help anyone who is thinking about a career change, please have them contact me at: pschultz@northwesternbc.edu. Thanks again for sharing, and I hope these sites can help people who are making some major decisions. Sincerely, Patricia Schultz, CTC Assistant Professor, Travel & Hospitality Department Northwestern Business College
