Founders' Day Message
'An attitude of excellence' by Diane James National President
Fall is a time for all members of Alpha Sigma Alpha to reflect upon its beginning. It was 88 years ago, Nov. 15, 1901, that our five founders, Virginia Boyd Noel, Louise Cox Carper, Juliette Hundly Gilliam and Calva Hamlet Watson came together at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia, to form what we now call our sorority. It is difficult to imagine how, out of the ideas and aspirations these five women had, Alpha Sigma Alpha has emerged. Alpha Sigma Alpha has evolved over the past 88 years as a strong organization. This is true, not only because of the groundwork our five founders laid, but also due to the work through the years by all who hold Alpha Sigma Alpha dear. I am sure onr founders could not have envisioned the impact of their actions on that day 88 years ago. Likewise, it is hard for us to envision what the future will hold from the decisions we make today. The National Council feels strongly that Alpha Sigma Alpha is on the right track to bring it through the next 12 years, stronger than ever, into its 100th anniversary. One area that we are developing to help us do this very thing is leadership programming in the form of the Em Frost Leadership Development Institutes. This fall, Alpha Sigma Alpha will present two pilot programs. These programs will be geographically located to enable our chapter officers to attend one or the other program. The programming is being coordinated by Elaine Rahaim Fuerst, vice president of programs, and will use many national officers, advisors and other leaders as workshop presentors. Anyone interested in working with the Em Frost Institutes in the future, please contact Elaine for more information. We hope that the institutes will be an ongoing program, but this

will only happen through support, both financially and physically, of Alpha Sigma Alpha members. We hope to give our chapter officers leadership skills that they can use in their work with their chapters and in their work toward their life goals , We envision the Em Frost Leadership Development Institutes as a way to strengthen our members and our organization. A second area to which Alpha Sigma Alpha National Council has put much time and effort is the development of new promotional material for the sorority. Much thanks to the efforts of Rosemary Goss, vice president of development, who has been instrumental in getting these items developed. "Catch the Alpha Spirit" and "Alpha Sigma Alpha . . . An Attitude of Excellence" are the phrases you will see on the new bumper stickers and buttons. Excellence may begin with an attitude but it is much more. I am sure 88 years ago our founders began with an attitude of excellence. However, it has not only been this attitude, but a lot of hard work by all those who have
served Alpha Sigma Alpha in the past that has brought us where we are today. In addition to the bumper stickers and buttons, Alpha Sigma Alpha balloons and banners are now available through National Headquarters. As we reflect on the past programming and attitudes that have brought us where we are today, let us realize that we must implement change as it is needed and in the best interest of our sorority. We must look to the future with a progressive outlook and set our priorities. We must evaluate progress and policies and implement those that are of greatest benefit to the sorority. Let us remember that Alpha Sigma Alpha is each and every one of us. As we cherish the memory of our founders, let us take time to recall the vows that were taken on initiation day. Each of us has a commitment to Alpha Sigma Alpha and the bonds of sisterhood we share. We can be proud of our past, live the present to the best of our ability and strive to create an ever brighter future for Alpha Sigma Alpha. {;(

"A weekly publication, The Phoenix, appeared in the fall of 1914 . . . Volume 1, Number 1, dated Nov. 1, 1914 consisted of four, eight by eleven sheets, duplicated in a bluish-purple ink with single-spaced pica type . . . The first paragraph of the new publica~ion d~~ls wi~,h the meaning of Phoemx . . . Such were the humble beginnings of a publication that this fall celebrates its 75th anniversary. The debut of The Phoenix preceded by only several weeks another important event for Alpha Sigma Alpha: the convention of Thanksgiving weekend, 1914, which brought together the four Alpha chapters that were to form the nucleus of the reorganized sorority. The Phoenix was not Alpha Sigma Alpha's first publication. The Alpha Sigma Alpha Magazine, later called The Aegis of Alpha Sigma Alpha, had its beginnings in May 1906, just five years after the founding of the sorority. The Aegis floundered as the fledgling sorority floundered just a few short years later. But like the mythical Phoenix bird, Alpha Sigma Alpha rose again, fully renewed and more beautiful than before. The publication of the newly reorganized sorority was aptly named. According to "The Years Behind Us," "The infant Phoenix was the central medium by which the various parts of Alpha Sigma Alpha were linked together . . . It consisted entirely of instructions and discussions of sorority rulings and policies, chapter newsletters and excerpts from articles on morals and Greek organizations . . . It reminds one greatly of the family mail pouch sent periodically to the far-away children by a strongminded mother . . . " That strong-minded mother, Ida Shaw Martin, also national president, issued The Phoenix from her office (probably located in her home) in Boston. It was first printed on a Rotospeed and later a mimeograph . Members attending the 1918 Convention voted to make The Phoenix a printed and bound magazine, issued monthly, in charge of an editor-in-chief and staff. An edi-
tor was elected but apparently never served. The Phoenix continued to be issued by Mrs . Martin, but the long-awaited printed Phoenix made its bow in October 1918 as an approximately 6-by-9-inch bound magazine (the size of National Geographic). The Phoenix was not untouched by world events as the government restriction on the use of paper during World War I made it necessary for the magazine to be considered esoteric in order to be published. Editions were published in eight months during 1918-19. The following year, the number of issues were cut and in subsequent years ranged from three to five per year. As the sorority grew following World War I, so did The Phoenix as issues frequently ran as large as 150 pages.
Even though 1930 marked the first change of sorority administration since the reorganization in 1914, The Phoenix continued to be a means of communication between the chapters and a medium for informing the membership of organization events and policies. Julia Lancaster, editor from 1930-34, recalled" . . . we were a much smaller sorority. We were concerned with the creation of standards and traditions . The Phoenix needed to flap its wings vigorously." In November 1933, the first of several Aegis editions of The Phoenix were published. The edition~ contained material of an esoteric nature and were named for the second Alpha Sigma Alpha 路Magazine.
THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA
Subsequent editors and Phoenix staff members have Julia Lancaster to thank for founding the first convention newsletter at the 1934 convention in Old Point Comfort, VA. " . . . it recorded the famous before and behind curtain proceedings." While it has become a welcome tradition for convention goers, the staff often works "into the wee hours for each issue. In fact, on returning (home), when one of its staff was asked why she looked as if she needed two vacations, she had only to reply, 'I worked on the paper. ' " The Phoenix of November 1938, under the editorship of Genevieve Leib, marked a notable change in the format of a magazine as it went from its previous size to an approximately 8-by-10-1/2-inch "saddle stitched" magazine, the basic size it
has remained until the present. It was in that same issue that an alumnae editor was added to The Phoenix staff. In subsequent years, various staff members were added, including a collegiate editor in November 1947. The present staff includes alumnae, collegiate and feature editors. These editors have frequently made significant contributions to The Phoenix. It was in 1939 that The Phoenix became a quarterly , appearing four times a year. It changed from being issued by month of publication to seasons in the fall of 1958. The first Alumnae Bulletin of The Phoenix appeared in January 1949. It was a four- to six-page newsletter that appeared at various times of the year in place of a
THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA
regular issue of the magazine. It appeared annually until 1970, primarily in the summer, when it was again replaced by a regular issue of the magazine. The summer issue continues, traditionally, to be the smallest issue of the year. The size of The Phoenix has varied over the years since it became a full-size magazine in 1938. Some issues were as large as 100 pages and the Alumnae Bulletin editions were only several sheets. Since the midseventies, the magazine has averaged 24 pages an issue. In the late seventies, the practicing of carrying alumnae and collegiate chapter reports in the same issue was dropped in favor of devoting two issues to alumnae reports , now appearing winter and summer, and two to collegiate reports , fall and spring. Plain covers, with a border and the name of the magazine, predominated in the early years of the magazine. As early as 1938, however, a drawing was used for the Yellowstone Convention issue. Photos began to appear periodically on the cover in the late 1940s and were first done in duotone (one color and black). Later, black and white photos were surrounded by a single color. The photos used were often prominent buildings on the campuses of Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters. Plain covers returned in 1958 and were used throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. The Alumnae Bulletin edition of The Phoenix of Spring 1961 boasted the first four-color cover of The Phoenix. It was a photo of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, site of the 1961 convention. The next full color cover did not appear until Winter 1980 when the picture of a Special Olympic athlete was featured. Now four-color covers regularly appear several times a year. While the content of various issues has varied over the years and the topics and format have changed to keep up with the times , the mission of The Phoenix has not changed. The magazine still carries the same mix of "instructions and discussions of sorority rulings and policies, chapter newsletters and excerpts from articles on morals and Greek organizations," sprinkled with news of outstanding Alphas, that graced the first Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha. f< f<

Notable quotes from the past 75 years 1957:
1916:
"You are a member of a strong sorority, one that ranks with the best in the country. Live it, talk it, dream it, work for it. In no other way can you so effectively convince others of its beauty, its greatness and its power." * * *
1928: "The importance of the (alumna) member of Alpha Sigma Alpha cannot be exaggerated . She is the dependable 'older daughter' of her sorority; she is the capable 'big sister' of her chapter. Her National expects to find in her a sustaining loyalty and influence that is vital to its life. The college members of her own chapter look to her for the radiation of Alpha Sigma Alpha ideals." Wilma Wilson Sharp, National Registrar and later National President * * *
"Additions to the building (of Alpha Sigma Alpha) have served to strengthen the meaning, the purpose, and the usefulness of the building. To each person who enters this edifice comes the opportunity to add to it. . . . How long we may actually live within the structure is not the all important question-but rather what do we leave? What have we added to the building? . . . Each of us has a contribution to make-each must add a stone to the structure so firmly founded." Evelyn G. Bell, National President
1970:
"Katharine Hale, Theta Theta, and National Treasurer of Alpha Sigma Alpha, since the 1941 convention, has been commissioned an Ensign in the United States Naval Reserves (WAVES) . . . Alpha Sigma Alpha's National Treasurer has gone to war." * * *
"Today's critics of the fraternity system seem to be many in number . . . our sorority programs today must concentrate on teaching our members to cope with and overcome these forces that are challenging the Greek organizations . . . We must stress growth through our ideals, and teach our members to become women of poise and purposes who are noted for their character and charm. Mary Goeke Backsman, National President
Alpha Sigma Alpha college delegates voted (at the 1946 A!:A convention): 'to instill in our chapters the feeling of dignity and pride in our affiliation as national sorority women.' Such high standard for procedure provides no place for pointless and undignified practices during pledge training and initiation. For a long time national fraternity officers have taken an uncompromising stand on such matters. Nevertheless, it remains for college members to blot out any die-hard vestiges of outmoded chapter or campus custom and to ban the substitution of meaningless practices in their place." Genevieve Leib, National Editor
"If I had experienced frustrations with the system and the phoniness of mass rush as a rushee, the frustration felt on the other end, as a rusher, was incomparable. The bonds a sorority woman feels are very similar to the ones uniting a strong family. Throwing them open for examination by hundreds of other women, many of whom are only rushing so as to pick you apart, is not easy." Karen Dammeyer Martin, Beta Theta

Genevieve Foltz
The editors of The Phoenix Ida Shaw Martin, 1914-20 Mrs. Martin served as both president and editor of Alpha Sigma Alpha from 1914-20 and continued to serve as president until 1930. Well-known in the fraternity world as the editor of The Sorority Handbook, which first appeared in 1907, she was instrumental in 1913 in bringing together Alpha Chapter at Longwood College and the local sorority at Miami University of Ohio, which later became Alpha Alpha Chapter. She led the sorority through the early years of reorganization. Early issues of The Phoenix were filled with sorority symbolism developed by Mrs. Shaw and later published as "Symbolism of Alpha Sigma Alpha." A 1889 graduate of Boston University, she died in May 1940 in Roxbury, MA.
Dr. Ida A. Jewett, 1921-22 Dr. Jewett was a distinguished educator who also served as national vice president of the sorority from 1917-22 .

Esther Bucher, 1952-58 "Editing The Phoenix was a joint effort between myself and Mary Katherine Reiff, associate editor. Our office was Mary K's apartment, and we burned the midnight oil at times, since both of us had responsible business positions. With Mary K's expertise in the graphic arts field, we created several innovations for the magazine." Esther held six offices during her more than 25 years of service to Alpha Sigma Alpha. She began her service as fellowship chairman in 1932 and followed with national secretary (1936-38 and 1941-43), vice president (1938-41), treasurer (1943-52), editor and National Panhellenic Conference delegate (1958-59).

From the Editor
The editor's plea by Nancy I.Z. Reese
As I looked through the many past issues of The Phoenix, it was interesting to note how several themes kept repeating themselves throughout the 75 years of the magazine. Among them is the editor's plea for material for the articles and photographs. You've probably read them; I know I've written them, just as have most if not all of my predecessors. As early as 1922, then editor Dr. Ida A. Jewett wrote, "The Phoenix is your magazine. What are you doing to make it the best magazine in the Greek world? What do you do for it besides pay your subscription and read its pages-and probably grumble that it hasn't more news of the girls you know? Have you sent in the news you know? The items you know others would like to learn? Will you not do your part to make The Phoenix tell the news of every member by sending in promptly the items you have? Think what the magazine would be if every reader would follow that practice! Do it now, and help make
the next issue the best of the year . The Sorority demands it; the readers request it; the Editor simply begs for it . Please. " Then again in 1940, alumnae editor Sally Horter wrote: "It is your privilege to send your editors what you write. . . . In the spirit of generosity, share your experiences with others by setting them down in words and sending them off to your editors . The Phoenix is a magazine compiled by the sorority for the sorority and (is a publication) in which we all should share. Don't be a Silent Sister! " More recently , editor Judith Holman wrote in 1970, "That is where you, the members of Alpha Sigma Alpha, play an important part in the publishing of the magazine. We need your editorial contributions. . . . The Phoenix can be an interesting and informative magazine, but we do need your support through editorial contributions, your suggestions, and your comments." And as recently as 1983, editor Rosemary Goss wrote, "Again we ask for your help. All of our new graphic assistance will not improve the magazine if we do not have
Letters to the Editor Dear editor, Congratulations on a super job on the spring issue of The Phoenix. Everyone I've talked with who has seen it thinks the issue was outstanding. The topics are so timely. There is still such a need to educate our chapters about hazing, and we just have to keep saying it. Elimination of hazing must continue to be a topic at conventions, state/ province days and leadership schools. Rosemary Carucci Goss, BIT National Vice President of Development Dear editor, Hazing is against the law! The person who inflicts hazing can be

prosecuted. The person or persons in charge at any level who do not immediately stop the hazing can be prosecuted. I find it embarrassing that national representatives admit witnessing lawbreaking without listing on-the-spot corrective action taken in a widely distributed magazine (spring 1989 Phoenix). I do not want to be known as the nonhazing sorority, which indicates that hazing wa~ in the past condoned . . . "The highest standards of personal development" far surpasses "non-hazing" if we have to find buzz words to associate with this sorority. Beverly Ayles Alpha Alpha
good stories and photos. Thus, the success of The Phoenix rests in the hands of the collegians and alumnae of Alpha Sigma Alpha. . . . The Phoenix staff encourages you to submit articles and photos." I never noticed that any issues in the 75 years of The Phoenix went without news, but I share with those editors of the past the frustration of tracking down even small items of news, requesting articles and photographs that never arrive, receiving late and out-of-date material and figuring out what to do with unsuitable photographs. Sally Horter said it most aptly when she wro~e almost 50 years ago , "One thing that would bring gladness to your editors' hearts and second sight to their weary eyes would be the receipt of a manuscript posted to them-unsolicited." Perhaps editors are just greedy. If every member of Alpha Sigma Alpha wrote tomorrow, there would not be enough room in my mailbox, let alone enough space to print it all in The Phoenix. Yet, there are those among you who have earned achievements and honors that we could take pride in, if we knew what they were. Others of you are experts in your fields or have opinions on the many issues facing college women, working women, mothers, our sorority and the fraternity system that we could learn about, if you wrote about them. To repeat the words of Ida Jewett more than 65 years ago, " The Sorority demands it; the readers request it; the Editor simply begs for it. Please."

I want to express a special thank you to Betty Wallick for assisting me on this project. During a frantic 3-1/2 days , we looked through every Phoenix from the past 75 years, made numerous notes and wrote the articles you'll find in this issue. I couldn't have done it without her. -tf -tf

Epsilon Nu State University of New York at Brockport by Sharon Sterner
The members of Epsilon Nu fulfilled their dream as they became the 57th chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha on March 4, 1989. The installation culminated 2 1/2 years of hard work. In fall 1986, seven members of a women's auxiliary group decided they wanted to form a local chapter of a national sorority . These women selected Alpha Sigma Alpha as their choice for the third NPC sorority on the Brockport campus. In order to fulfill the standards necessary to colonize, Pi Theta Psi local sorority was created . Two years later, 28 women were pledged as a colony by Kathleen Pilecki, province director. State University of New York at Brockport is a public, coeducational, residential, liberal arts college located in Brockport, NY. The installation weekend began with a get-acquainted party in Thompson Hall Convention Center Friday evening. Here the prospec-

Three finish AEA travels the memories and the love. These were the commissions that made traveling for Alpha Sigma Alpha the deal of a lifetime! Lisa A. Tait
A rewarding year on the road The most rewarding year of my life began in July 1988. With my overstuffed new luggage, my briefcase and my enthusiasm for Alpha Sigma Alpha, I boarded my first of 41 flights. As I look back on my year of traveling, I remember the many talents, accomplishments, personalities and goals of our chapters. This year I have had the opportunity to celebrate accomplishments with many Alphas across the land. The feeling of watching sisters work together to win Greek Week on their campus, or witnessing a Special Olympian cross the finish line and smile with an AI:A, or see a chapter support their sister on the night she is crowned as university queen will remain in my heart for a lifetime. This year I have worked with chapters in areas of rush , ritual, sisterhood, scholarship and membership education . I've advised chapters to set measurable and attainable goals and to strive for excellence in each of our aims. My work with these chapters has taught me much about AI:A, and the love and dedication that our members have to make their chapter the best it can be. Well, it's my last week at headquarters, and I'm packing my battered luggage for that last flight home. I am also reflecting on the goals that I set for myself. I wanted to "give back to AI:A some of what I received as an undergraduate. " I feel that I have given just that in my caring and concern for each of our chapters. But, once again, I know I am even more in debt to the sorority because of the rewards that I have received in return. MariK. Hunter
Selling AEA door-to-door "So, you're going to be a traveling saleswoman for AI:A!" my friends kidded as we prepared to graduate. What a unique way to look at 14

Chapter Consultants Lisa Tait, Mari Hunter and Karen Parsons have finished .their year on the road for Alpha Sigma Alpha.
the job of a chapter consultant. Every week knocking on a new chapter door, met by friendly AI:A faces and having no difficulty selling the product: friendship , love, sisterhood, leadership, community service, ritual, responsibility, commitment, scholarship, dedication, values, standards, development, loyalty, participation, enthusiasm, initiative, patience, unselfishness, generosity, humility, self-confidence and much , much more. All of this in one incredible package dealAlpha Sigma Alpha. I began my sales expedition in the Midwest, armed with one closet on wheels, a carry-on that no travel agent in her right mind would allow me to take on the plane, a briefcase holding all the answers and AI:A enthusiasm. Ringing the first doorbell was horrifying! Would they invite me in? Yes, I was welcome everywhere, and during my visits we shared demonstrations of how the product , Alpha Sigma Alpha, really worked. It has been a successful "sales" season for me. I've come out of this experience having seen AI:A from a unique angle. And though we are a diverse national organization, we all have taken the same vows and live by the same words of the creed. This year, AI:As across the country have "filled my days with satisfying activity." Thanks for all
"It's just like working for a business," my parents said when I told them I was going to be a chapter consultant for Alpha Sigma Alpha. "You'll be managing human resources and physical resources, assessing situations, devising problem solving techniques and giving members the tools to resolve problems themselves." A business, huh? Well, I suppose so; the national organization is like a corporation, the national officers are the corporate board, National Headquarters is the central office and our chapters and colonies are the branch "offices." It seemed simple enough: The consultants act as public relations representatives and liaisons between all these components. Over the year, I realized that just as each component is crucial to the development and success of a business, so it is with each aspect of AI:A. In order for us to be a prosperous organization, each and everyone of us must be a contributing factor in Alpha Sigma Alpha's future. Well, no more 9-5 days, or " overtime" for that matter, no more paperwork, no more portable apartment on wheels, no more financial reports, even my business cards have run out. As a consultant, my business is complete but, the sisterhood remains with me, as do memories of one of the most exciting, rewarding and meaningful years of my life. One thing is for sure, I remain committed to the excellence of Alpha Sigma Alpha and its profitable future. During my last visit-as I stood knee deep in paperwork, clothes and luggage-one of the sisters said, "You sure must love AI:A to put up with this everyday." I said, "I do." Karen Parsons

One huge slumber party Members of Phi Phi Chapter gathered together for a weekend organized by Annette Zampese, standards chairman. The retreat started when the Al:As attended a university basketball game. Later in the chapter room during a candle passing, each member announced how she felt she had recently contributed to the sorority. All members were encouraged to spend the night in Roberta Hall so everyone could get to know each other better. Sunday morning, the members were divided into groups. Through questions like "What's your favorite movie?" and "What would you do in the last 10 minutes of your life if the world was about to be destroyed by nuclear war?" a special bond formed among group members. Exercises in group decision-making and an afternoon scavenger hunt helped the chapter with communication skills . After members reflected on why they joined the sorority, days of being a pledge, their expectations of being a member and what they were obtaining from Alpha Sigma Alpha, they were then matched w ith others they did not know and familiarized themselves with each other's interests and values. The final round concluded with another group discussion on maintaining friendships and starting new ones.

It 路has done away with many of the problems the chapter has had in the past and has forced the members to take a new look at their values. The chapter's campaign also has encouraged other Greek organizations on campus not to haze as well.

The members of Delta Iota Chapter have been busy with local Special Olympic events. A bowling tournament, held in a nearby Wilmington bowling alley, gave the members who attended a chance to help and cheer on the athletes as they bowled. The Special Olympics basketball tournament held on campus had volunteers run skill stations for the athletes and help coach the more advanced participants as they played in actual games. In preparation for the occasion, a local executive for Special Olympics planning attended a chapter meeting and briefed the members on expectations and duties of the volunteers. A tennis marathon was scheduled to help raise money for the philanthropy. Members took turns playing tennis for 24 straight hours to benefit Special Olympics. Gina Barreca

'Phone-a-Friend' A successful public relations activity that the Delta Nu-A Chapter was . involved in this past winter was an event called PHONE-A-FRIEND. PHONE-A-FRIEND was a recruiting tool set up by the college to call as many prospective studentsFRIENDS-as possible. The majority of the people called were high school seniors who had attended a GMI information session or who had shown an interest in the GMI curriculum. The phone calls were meant to answer any questions that the FRIEND might have and to inform him/her about GMI. All of the sororities and fraternities at GMI were invited to participate. Ten Alpha Sigs showed their friendliness by calling a total of 300 FRIENDS! Stephanie Usher

Balloons released for charity Epsilon Alpha Chapter has held a year full of philanthropic activities. One of the activities sponsored by the chapter was a 路 balloon release and a road block, both of which aided the Arthritis Foundation.

Other spring events included the 5th Annual Air Band Contest sponsored by the AEAs. The bands ranged from the dance music of Samantha Fox to the hardcore sound of the Ramones.

'A day on the farm' Epsilon Beta Chapter recently spent "A Day on the Farm" with the men of Zeta Psi fraternity during an exchange at the Zeta Psi house. Chapter members and Zeta Psis donned flannel and denim , in honor of farm comfort. A few individuals dug out their cowboy hats and boots. Early in the morning, AEA member Dagny Fritsche was the first to bob for apples out of an authentic, large metal tub. It did not take her long to latch onto a big, juicy apple . . . and she didn't even get her braids wet. "A Day on the Farm" would not be complete without a hog calling contest. Brenda Weber, April Sanders and Lisa Hummel proved that "Suuueeeyyy" could be heard over stereo dance music. And what better way to end a country evening than with a good, old-fashioned square dance. Many AEAs and Zeta Psis demonstrated their "boot-scootin" skills before calling it an evening. April Sanders Virginia Commonwealth University

That evening, the chapter competed in the volleyball tournament and made it to the finals. The traditional Greek week talent show was held Thursday evening. The theme "MTV's Club AEA" won second place for the chapter. On Friday, the chapter members met for fun and fellowship as they readied themselves for the Greek Olympics. A " Breakfast of Champions" was held at the house on Saturday morning before the games began.

"Welcome to star search 1989 Alpha Sigma Alpha style" were the first words spoken by the mistress of ceremonies during Epsilon Theta's spring rush party. The evening included a first-time performance by the newly formed group "The Clash." In their clashy outfits, they sang and danced, welcoming rushees with the song "Hello Rushees." The AEA Indians followed as they sneaked onto the stage and began chanting "Alpha Sigs Got the Spirit." A commercial break informed the audience on the facts about Greek life at Behrend College. The mistress of ceremonies then introduced the AEA cheerleaders who led Alpha Sig cheers. A new AEA song and dance based on the music of ''I'm So Excited" was then performed, and star search 1989 concluded with a grand finale of all performers and members singing "I'd Like to Linger."

Admissions office helps Panhellenic Several Panhellenic activities took place on campus that provided assistance to the Epsilon Iota Chapter. This past summer, Panhellenic worked with the admission's office to send out sorority information sheets and applications to every freshman woman who had enrolled at CBC. The interested individuals were asked to send in two photographs along with their application. These plans helped Panhellenic know how many women would be interested in participating in fall rush week. Barbara Calhoun

Membership director, Lisa Worrell, organized many activities in which the pledges and members participated. One activity was a night out rollerskating. The chapter rented an entire rollerskating rink for about three hours. Members shared memories of when they used to skate injunior high school. Another activity was a family feud night. One family within the chapter would play against another, similar to the television game show. Other activities included a sleep-over, an ice cream night and a song night.
