SOUTHWEST DALLAS, TEXAS Southwest Dallas alumnae chapter’s year began with Betty Jo Ferraro Fuller (AΛ) being named South Central Region alumnae membership coordinator. The women enjoyed a special Founders’ Day 2001 celebration with other alumnae and collegiate chapters from North Central Texas. Meetings featured Alpha Phi memorabilia sharing, scrapbooking, craft making, a Valentine gift exchange and the annual holiday Bizarre Bazaar with proceeds benefiting collegiate support. Spring found the chapter’s annual garage sale netting its largest dollar amount ever, which funded a Convention delegate and allowed the chapter to make its largest donation to date to the Alpha Phi Foundation. New officers were elected: President Elaine Birtchet Holley (AΛ), Vice President of Membership Kathryn Krall Slack (Ω-Texas), Vice President of Programs Wendy Winn Carrington (∆B-Texas A&M/Commerce), MAP Coordinator Beverly Winn Harkness (∆B-Texas A&M/Commerce), Treasurer Jayne Korbs (AΛ), Panhellenic Delegate Sally Yocum Krall (∆I-Roanoke), Collegiate Liaison Karla Hardy Allford (ΓΩ-Midwestern State), Reference Coordinator Angela Farley (EΣ-Dallas Baptist State) and Secretary Pamela Farley (EΣ-Dallas Baptist State). Members welcomed new alumna initiate Donna White. July found the women preparing their fifth entry in the annual Fourth of July parade in Duncanville, Texas. The float was decorated in red, white and blue with representation from a three-year-old legacy to an 87-year-old waving flags, pompoms and pinwheels while Sousa marches played on a boom box. Of course, the chapter remembered to market Alpha Phi, as a large map of Texas marked with collegiate chapter locations was prominently displayed on the float. –Pamela Farley (EΣ-Dallas Baptist State)
