Alpha Phi Salutes This issue of the Quarterly features alumnae who have distinguished themselves in their careers because of the “firsts” they’ve accomplished. It only seemed appropriate as we introduce another first, Alpha Phi International’s Emerging Leaders Institute first held in June to train 50 distinguished collegians (read more on page 28). In highly competitive professions, the alumnae profiled share common traits that have helped them become leaders in their fields. They are passionate, ambitious and driven.
“Alpha Phi is definitely a priority for us,” says Kim. “We love our partnership, and we’re enthusiastic to keep it going.” For Kim, creating this connection with her sorority seemed only natural. “So much of what I learned in college came from Alpha Phi,” says Kim. “So now I am always brainstorming ways to keep Alpha Phi intact.” Another way Kim found to give back to Alpha Phi was by agreeing to serve as keynote speaker during the Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference in Newark, Del., in February. Kim had the opportunity to speak with several collegiate women in attendance. “They were so smart and articulate,” she says. “I am so impressed with the next generation of women.” The college years For Kim’s own college experience, she says she participated in recruitment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in order to avoid getting lost in the sea of people.

Distinguished Alumnae They have strong personal belief systems. They also exemplify the values learned during their college days in Alpha Phi, all demonstrating a strong sense of service, respect for education and loyalty to those close to them, including their Alpha Phi sisters. And important to note is that each has chosen to give back – to the people, organizations, communities that played such an important role in forming who they are today. We are proud to introduce you to these distinguished alumnae.
Alpha Phi is proud of all of our collegians and alumnae.

inducted into the American Advertising Federation’s Advertising Hall of Achievement. Since Kim became publisher of SELF, the magazine has seen an increase in advertising sales and revenue every year. While she works hard to continue this trend, Kim is equally focused on philanthropy. One hundred percent of the proceeds from SELF’s annual Workout in the Park and fall Breast Cancer Fundraiser go to the magazine’s philanthropic partners. “I feel very lucky to work for an organization that allows me to do this,” says Kim.
Kim’s quick climb After graduating, Kim’s itch to experience the unknown led her to New York City, where she hoped to find adventure. “For me, it was a quest for excitement, energy and just seeing what was out there,” she says. Not knowing exactly what she wanted to do, Kim embraced every opportunity with passion and began her rapid ascent to success. Her first job was as a sales assistant at ELLE Décor. She proceeded to work her way through TEEN, Mirabella, ELLE, Sports Illustrated for Women and Mademoiselle magazines. In 2001 at the age of 29, Kim was named vice president, publisher of Golf for Women, making her one of the youngest people in the history of the Condé Nast family to earn this title. Kim believes she was able to achieve success quickly because she always took advantage of opportunity. “Too often, people have opportunity right in front of them, and they just don’t grab it,” she says. “I have always been a grabber.” In 2004, she grabbed another opportunity when she became vice president, publisher of SELF magazine, another publication in the Condé Nast family. In this position, Kim has already set herself above the rest. In her short career, she has received several honors, including Advertising Age’s “40 Under 40” in 2007 and Media Industry Newsletter “Sales Team Leader of the Year Award” in 2006. In November, Kim will be FALL 2007
Small town girl at heart In less than a decade, Kim has gone from resident of a 700-person town to publisher of a magazine that reaches millions of people. Her achievements came about “the old-fashioned way, through hard work and tenacity,” she says. Throughout her adventures, Kim says she has never forgotten her roots. “The truth is I’m still the same person I was 20 years ago. I can still look in the mirror at night, knowing I have retained my sense of self,” says Kim. “That’s the most important thing you can do.” While she has earned her place in a top position at a flourishing company, she continues to exemplify the values she learned from Alpha Phi. Furthermore, she chooses to use her success to give back to the sorority that means so much to her. As Alpha Phis across the nation pursue their own dreams and follow their ambitions, this inspiring woman bestows her advice: “Embrace what you’re doing. It may be entry-level, but take the job, give it your all, and do it with a smile,” she suggests. “You’ll make it!”
Alpha Phi Teams with SELF Magazine SELF Challenge: The Results Are In! The SELF Challenge is a three-month exercise and eating plan that has helped one million readers slim down and shape up for summer. Alpha Phi was invited to participate in this year’s SELF Challenge. The collegiate chapter with the most women signing up for the program at www.Self.com won a catered event for 100 of their closest friends to kick off the fall semester. Alpha Phi chapters from nearly 150 schools competed and registered 4,940 Challengers. Congratulations to the winning Alpha Phi chapter with a total of 168 SELF Challengers: West Virginia (Beta Iota)!
Continued Partnership In light of the success of the SELF Challenge, Alpha Phi looks forward to continuing its partnership with SELF through the following programs: • Bid Day Gift Baskets: In September 2007, SELF magazine distributed more than 12,000 Bid Day baskets to Alpha Phi collegians. The baskets included gifts from SELF and SELF sponsors, including Paul Mitchell® hair care products and Curve® fragrance. Each chapter will also receive various Paul Mitchell® and Redken® products to welcome members back to campus. • National Go Green Challenge: From September through December 2007, SELF will team with Paul Mitchell® and American Forest® to challenge Alpha Phi chapters to go green and take small steps toward leading a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Each chapter will provide information about the ways they change their lifestyles using a custom Web page at www.SELFConnected.com. The five chapters that make the biggest impact will win a Paul Mitchell® day of beauty. • Every collegiate dues-paying member of Alpha Phi will be provided with a one-year subscription to SELF magazine.

Alpha Phi Salutes Distinguished Alumnae Mary Murguia (Gamma Delta-Kansas) is a federal judge, the first Latina to sit on the U.S. District Court in Arizona.
From Humble Roots: Twin Sisters Follow Paths of Service By Meredith Laitos (Beta-Northwestern)
Janet and Mary Murguia (both Gamma Delta-Kansas) were born just six minutes apart. They attended the University of Kansas, joined Alpha Phi, earned double majors in journalism and Spanish and attended law school together. Today, their high power careers have taken them to separate ends of the U.S. – Mary is a federal judge in Phoenix, Ariz., and Janet is president and CEO of the National Council for La Raza (NCLR) in Washington, D.C. But both women hold true to the values and beliefs learned from an early age – family, faith, education, community and service – and incorporate them in their careers. The importance of family “Janet likes to remind everyone she’s the big sister,” jokes Mary. The identical twins were raised in Kansas City by hardworking parents who immigrated from Mexico. They are the youngest in a family of nine and grew up in a small house with no washer or dryer, only one bathroom and no phone until the twins were in seventh grade. “We didn’t realize what we didn’t have,” says Mary, “because there was so much my parents provided in terms of love and support.”
PA G E F O U R
Though the twins came from humble roots, their community and parents provided them the tools they needed to succeed. Mary expresses her gratitude to the scholarships (including one from Alpha Phi Foundation), neighborhood support, public schools and public libraries that assisted her through college and beyond. “It would have been impossible to do what we did in any other country,” says Mary, “and we don’t take that lightly.” Janet agrees and further credits their parents. “I feel blessed by the example they set of hard work and a solid living environment. Our values have endured as we’ve gone on into our careers.” Both sisters feel their parents’ faith in God, hard work ethic and value of family and neighborhood were the elements that enabled their children to succeed. When the twins left for college in 1978 they remained close. After graduating from law school, they found themselves with careers that sent them in separate directions for the first time in their lives. Janet’s career sent her from Washington, D.C., to the University of Kansas and back again. Mary went west to Arizona. But the two stayed in close touch. Today, they often meet halfway, at their childhood home in
Kansas City. “J and I talk almost every day,” says Mary, using her nickname for Janet. “We have a really good relationship.” A career in giving back Navigating a career path came relatively easy to Mary Murguia. All her life she received support from her community, and she embraced an opportunity to give back. “Growing up, I saw law as a noble way to serve the community,” says Mary. After law school, Mary became assistant district attorney in Wyandotte County, Kan. She worked there five years before moving to Phoenix, Ariz., to serve as assistant U.S. attorney and criminal deputy chief in charge of the Violent Crime Section. In 1999, Attorney General Janet Reno requested that Mary join her in Washington, D.C., to serve as director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys in the Department of Justice. In this position, Mary was in charge of 270 employees and a billion dollar budget. She acted as a liaison between 5,000 assistant U.S. attorneys and the attorney general. “It was quite an amazing position,” she recalls. “I felt a lot of responsibility, and I wanted to represent myself well.”

Janet Murguia (Gamma Delta-Kansas) is the first female president and CEO of the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.
Mary was then called to be a federal judge on the U.S. District Court in Phoenix, Ariz., a lifetime appointment. “I was chosen by President Clinton and approved by the United States Senate,” she says. “That was one of the most significant moments in my career.” This appointment was especially unique because Mary was the first Latina to become a federal judge in the district of Arizona. The implications of the nomination meant big shifts for the nation, and Mary was glad to see it happen. “I think it’s important that the bench reflects the people it serves,” she says. “There is a diverse population, so we should have a diverse bench.” Though she entered the position during a time when it was a predominately maledominated profession, Mary does not feel her gender has been an obstacle for her. “It’s a challenging position regardless of your gender,” she says. Mary has been a trailblazer for women and Latinas, illustrating how simple roots and hard work can produce an extraordinary person. Yet, when asked to pinpoint the most memorable part of her career, Mary credits, “the relationships and friendships I have made along the way. I have been very fortunate in my life.” FALL 2007
Passion for public service Janet Murguia shares Mary’s humble nature and passion for public service. “I am passionate about helping others,” says Janet, “and that’s been a common theme in all my work.” After law school, Janet received her first taste of public service as a legislative counsel to Kansas Congressman Jim Slattery. In 1994, Janet became deputy assistant to President Clinton, acting as an advisor to the president and liaison between the White House and Congress. When Clinton left office, Janet became the deputy campaign manager for the GoreLieberman 2000 presidential campaign. In 2001, Janet’s career path led her back home to Kansas. She became the executive vice chancellor for university relations at the University of Kansas, a position that allowed her to share her passion for higher education. “I have loved every job I’ve had,” says Janet. “Between Capitol Hill, the White House and the Gore campaign, I learned a lot that I was able to take back to my alma mater.” Her initiatives at KU included supporting the university’s diversity recruitment and retention rates and managing governmental interactions to
best increase funding. After four years, another opportunity arose for Janet in Washington, D.C. On Jan. 1, 2005, she was sworn in as the first female president and CEO of the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., the National Council for La Raza. According to Janet, “NCLR exists to increase opportunities for Hispanics in the U.S. and give everyone a chance at realizing the American dream.” This is a point of passion for Janet because her family was able to realize that same dream. NCLR has more than 307 affiliates in 40 states. The organization advocates home ownership, health care accessibility and education for Hispanics who make up 15 percent of the American population. Janet says, “It’s an honor to be at the helm of an organization that has a record of service on behalf of Hispanic families.” As a woman and as a Latina, it would seem inevitable that Janet met adversity during her climb. But like Mary, Janet feels neither her gender nor ethnicity have gotten in the way of her persistent determination. “I have been fortunate to work with respectful, strong men who wanted to be around strong women,” Janet says. “Former Congressman Jim Slattery, PA G E F I V E

Janet and Mary were reminded of the quality of these bonds during the summer when their mother fell ill while visiting Dallas and was in the intensive care unit for several days. An Alpha Phi sister living in Dallas, Debi Denninton (Gamma Delta-Kansas), learned of the situation and invited them and their family into her home until their mother was well again. “To know these friendships remain after so many years is something very special,” says Janet. “I hope everyone who is an Alpha Phi can relate.” Career advice
President Clinton, Vice President Gore and KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway all gave me great opportunities.” Roots in Alpha Phi The Murguias have a lot to be proud of in their careers. Still, both insist it has been the people who have made their journeys worthwhile. They say some of their fondest memories of their time at the University of Kansas are the friendships they made in Alpha Phi. “The relationships established with sisters in the sorority are still very rewarding even though distance and years have gone by,” says Janet.
PA G E S I X
Mary agrees, adding being in Alpha Phi was an opportunity to experience diversity. She appreciated that, “women came with different life experiences and were able to share and learn from each other’s commonalities and differences.” In addition, the Greek community provided opportunities for the sisters to serve in leadership roles in the chapter, on Panhellenic, student senate, student government and on various university task forces. To this day, the twins stay in close touch with several of their Alpha Phi sisters. Recently, they hosted a reunion in Arizona of old friends, many of whom are Alpha Phis.
Mary offers her advice to Alpha Phis, saying, “whatever profession you enter, you should do it because you think you might have fun with it – not because it’s going to be a way to make money.” She elaborates, “After that, whatever you do, do it with integrity. That’s going to be the key to your happiness.” Janet advocates education as the secret to success, agreeing with Mary, “The key is to get as much education as you can, then dream big dreams and go after them. Find work that is your passion, and pursue it.” With inspiring stories, exceptional careers, an abundance of close friends and family, and an appreciation for it all, Mary and Janet Murguia are two women we are proud to call sisters.

Alumna Makes History in Men’s Organization Allison Cink Rickels (Epsilon ThetaNorthern Iowa) is executive director/CEO of the FarmHouse Foundation (Kansas City, Mo.), serving as the first woman ED of a men’s fraternity educational foundation. She began the role in June 2007. In the FarmHouse Foundation’s 41-year history, Allison is only the second person to fill the position on a full-time basis. The FarmHouse Foundation is a 501(c)3 public educational foundation supporting the educational and leadership programs of the fraternity as well as providing scholarships to individual members for academic achievement. FarmHouse International Fraternity is a men’s international agriculturally-related fraternity founded in 1905 that seeks to build men intellectually, spiritually, socially, morally and physically. FarmHouse is located on 30 campuses throughout the United States and Canada, with 1,300 undergraduates and 20,000 living alumni. Allison has been part of the FarmHouse Foundation staff since July 2001, starting as the director of annual fund and communications, and more recently serving as the senior director of the annual fund and assistant secretary to the board of trustees. She also is the design editor for Pearls & Rubies, the fraternity’s quarterly FALL 2007
membership magazine. She played an integral role in the success of the foundation’s first-ever capital campaign, which raised $750,000 over their $4 million goal. “I am thrilled and honored to be chosen for this position,” says Allison. “It’s very exciting and progressive of our foundation trustees to choose me. I deeply care about and believe in FarmHouse, the foundation and its success. FarmHouse has amazing and dedicated alumni and undergraduates who I have the chance to work with, and I am extremely grateful for this unique opportunity.” “I believe in the fraternity and sorority experience,” says Allison. “Nowhere else during your college career can you have the opportunity to live, learn and lead with 30-100 of your peers and closest friends. My Alpha Phi experience shaped who I am today, and I continue to find value and relevance with it in my life on a daily basis. I continue to work for FarmHouse and volunteer with Alpha Phi because I want other students to have the same opportunities and be able to enhance not only their college experiences, but also their lives.” A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Allison graduated with honors in 2001 with a public relations major and marketing and
journalism minors. She earned the designation of Certified Fund Raising Executive in the fall of 2006 and is one of only 4,600 professionals to hold this international credential.

She is secretary of the College Fraternity Editors Association (CFEA), the professional organization for those men and women who produce and edit magazines and other media for social and professional fraternities. She recently received CFEA’s Marilyn Simpson Ford Award for outstanding service to the association. Allison has served as an adviser to the Washburn (Upsilon) collegiate chapter and is active in the Greater Kansas City, Kan., alumnae chapter. She serves on the alumnae membership strategy committee and on the Quarterly’s editorial advisory board. She and her husband Nick live in Kansas City. Their first child was born in September.

Clara Bradley Burdette: Her Answer
From the Archives
By Jenny Thompson
Burdette age 15 (top) and age 96
PA G E T W E N T Y- T W O
When Clara Bradley Burdette (Alpha-Syracuse), the last living founder of Alpha Phi and its honorary president, entered the Silent Chapter at the age of 98 on Jan. 6, 1954, Alpha Phis wore black ribbons beneath their pins for five days. This symbolic gesture was intended to honor an original alumna of distinction: a woman whose life and work made a profound impact on generations of women. With Clara’s passing, the very living foundations of the Fraternity seemed severed from the present. But the black ribbons lying underneath the Fraternity’s symbol also suggested that the foundations from which Alpha Phi had flourished were still strong. Even now, more than 50 years since Clara’s death, her influence is undeniable. This influence was not the result of luck or coincidence; it was the result of Clara’s life choices. Clara blazed trails first in academia when she entered Syracuse University at the age of 17. Alpha Phis everywhere know what happened next: she played an integral role as a Fraternity Founder. After college she devoted her life to philanthropy, education, reform, women’s rights, conservation and a host of other issues that revealed her unshakeable dedication to living a life in service to others. “As the twig is bent the tree inclines,” Clara once said, revealing her belief that a young life needs to be shaped by positive influences. Clara’s practical views and life direction began while she was in high school. The business manager of Syracuse University asked a simple question: “Why don’t you come to college?” Her answer in the affirmative led to another question, this one posed by Frances Willard (Alpha-Syracuse) to a 19-year-old Clara: “What are you going to do with your life?” Clara remembered: “Too astonished to answer at once, I hesitatingly replied, ‘I do not know. I hadn’t thought about it.’” But she was inspired to come up with an answer. And after reading Frances’ account of her sister’s death at the age of 19, titled Nineteen Beautiful Years, Clara had her answer. She was determined “that from that hour on I could give my life to service, and I would do everything that came to me to do the very best I knew how.” The recipient of three honorary doctorate degrees, Clara served as the first female trustee of
Syracuse University and as a trustee of Mills College, Cal Tech, California College in China, the Pasadena Hospital and the Southwest Museum. She was an early organizer and first president of the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and was widely known as an inspiring civic leader, philanthropist and champion of education and child welfare. Through her efforts and generosity, scholarship funds have been made available to many Alpha Phis over the years. In 1951, Clara found time to sit down and take account of her life. Her autobiography, aptly titled The Answer, is the story of how she responded to Frances Willard’s question. “Chart your life,” Clara Burdette in 1917 instructed in a 1938 address at Alpha Phi’s Convention at Pasadena, Calif. “We cannot hope to use time to our credit unless we plan to do it and are thoughtful about it.” To Clara, life was a precious gift, each day providing a chance to make a difference. Throughout her life, she remained true to her pledge to be of service. And in doing so, she made it possible for other young Alpha Phis to chart their own lives and formulate their own answers. Many of Burdette’s papers, photographs and other memorabilia are housed in the Alpha Phi archives in Evanston, Ill. Her importance extends far beyond the thriving Fraternity she helped found and nurture. Her papers, numbering 50,000 documents, are preserved at the Huntington Library in San Marino, Calif. Editor’s Note: Jenny Thompson, PhD, is the Alpha Phi Foundation staff archivist. She has more than 10 years of experience, including work at Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s archives and museum, the University of Maryland and the Smithsonian Institution. She is currently curator of education at the Evanston Historical Society, and her work has been published in the New York Times.

The first Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) was held June 20-24, 2007. The four-day intensive training opportunity, hosted at Butler University (Indianapolis, Ind.), was facilitated by trained Alpha Phi facilitators. This interactive learning experience included large and small group discussions, trust building activities and personal reflection. Fifty emerging leaders were selected to attend the Institute and received a full scholarship funded by the Alpha Phi Foundation that included all travel, lodging and meals at the Institute. These freshman and sophomore women showed great potential as leaders! For more information and photos, visit www.alphaphi.org/Leadership_Initiative/ ELI.html.

“I was able to validate how important it is to recognize when it is appropriate to be a leader and when it’s more important to step back and be a follower.”
“I have definitely realized I am more of a leader now than I was four days ago, and I have much more confidence now.”
“I feel like I am more prepared to be a leader in my chapter, but also later in life in my community. I also liked being challenged intellectually.”
“I have become more open and like to take more risks, unlike before I came.”
“My drive to be a great chapter president has increased.”
“I have a greater awareness of Alpha Phi as a whole.” “My dedication to Alpha Phi and my belief in myself to lead has grown.”

It has been a reminder of why I am so privileged to be a member of such a phenomenal Greek organization, and why I proudly wear Alpha Phi letters day after day. When young people go to college, they search for a family away from home. I am fortunate to have more than 100 sisters in my chapter who are members of my family. Without them, and without the faith we have in each other, it would have been impossible for me to overcome the catastrophe. People ask what the Virginia Tech SGA plans to do to move forward this school year. First, the candlelight vigil and community picnic will be made annual events, to remember our friends. The shooting will be addressed at orientations. While the end of the school year was a time to reflect, this fall is about healing and rebuilding. The memorials will be preserved, the victims will never be forgotten, and Virginia Tech will only become stronger in the years to come.

Salute to Volunteers, Our Alumnae of Distinction Volunteer: (noun) A person who performs a service willingly and without pay. In addition to our dedicated salaried staff headquartered in Evanston, Ill., Alpha Phi is guided and supported by a devoted team of volunteers who live throughout the United States and Canada. These women, who give freely of their time and talents to Alpha Phi, certainly qualify as alumnae of distinction! Without them, our chapters would be on their own, there would be no mentors for collegiate or alumnae members, chapter houses would suffer from disrepair, there would be no organized alumnae chapters … you get the picture. Without these women, Alpha Phi as we know it would cease to exist. These women (and a few men!) work to ensure that Alpha Phis – both collegiate and alumnae members – have a positive experience that lasts a lifetime. These volunteers range in age from recent college graduates to women who would rather not state their ages! Some alumnae volunteer for a year or two, while others have served for nearly 30 years. Some stay in the same role, and others take on new roles. Some work at the local level, others work at the regional level, and still others work at the international level. But, regardless of where or how they serve, these volunteers are invaluable to the success of our organization. Their contributions make a difference in the lives of countless collegians and alumnae, and Alpha Phi is very grateful to them.
FALL 2007
An advisory board supports each of Alpha Phi’s 145 collegiate chapters. The local volunteers work with our collegiate chapters on a daily basis. Within those advisory boards are: • 145 chapter advisers (CA) • 600 advisory board members (including advisers for recruitment, finance, programming and operations) The alumnae who oversee and maintain the physical structures of our collegiate chapters, whether they are houses, lodges, dorm rooms or suites, are the house corporation boards (HCB) or chapter property committees (CPC). There are 275 volunteers serving on HCBs or CPCs. Also working on the local level are the 151 alumnae chapter presidents (ACP) who serve our alumnae chapters. There are eight regional teams to support our local collegiate and alumnae chapters and volunteers made up of: • 8 regional managers (RM) • 9 alumnae membership coordinators (AMC) • 11 operational and programming coordinators (OPC) • 8 collegiate membership coordinators (CMC) • 2 Canadian resource coordinators (CRC) • 8 human resource coordinators (HRC)
These numbers don’t include Alpha Phis who serve on other Fraternity committees. From extension to recruitment and leadership to finance, an additional 200 alumnae serve on committees and workgroups. These women form a strong network of specialists who lend their personal and professional expertise for the benefit of our members. We offer our heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that Alpha Phi continues to be a premier, relevant and strategic women’s organization. For more information about Alpha Phi International’s organizational structure, or to learn about opportunities to volunteer, visit www.alphaphi.org/about_us/about.html.

At the International level, there are: • 10 committee on leadership members (COL) • 4 National Panhellenic Conference delegates (NPC) • 10 Foundation directors, including the International President • 10 International Executive Board (IEB) directors, including the NPC delegate • 6 Finance and Audit Committee members (FSC) • 7 Housing Strategy Committee members (HSC) • 11 Collegiate Membership Strategy Committee members (CMSC) • 9 Alumnae Membership Strategy Committee members (AMSC) PA G E F O R T Y- O N E

B U L L E T I N NEW HAZING HOTLINE IS CREATED Alpha Phi has joined more than 20 other National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) and North-American Interfraternity Conference (IFC) inter/national organizations to create a Hazing Hotline. We encourage anyone with information about hazing activities in an Alpha Phi chapter to call the tollfree number at 1.888.NOT.HAZE (1.888.668.4293). Callers can remain anonymous, and all allegations will be investigated to the fullest extent. We hope our new and initiated members, parents and Greek Life professionals find this to be a helpful tool to eliminate hazing on our campuses. If you have any questions about the Hazing Hotline, please contact Lindsay Martin (Beta Psi-San Jose State) at lmartin@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8943. WANTED: ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, GRAPHIC DESIGNERS Artists, photographers and graphic artists are sought to design our February Heart Health Month public relations piece. This artwork will be used in a Foundation postcard sent to hundreds of Alpha Phis, as computer wallpaper that all Alpha Phis can display on their computers and as the cover of the Winter 2008 Quarterly. Please send artwork to the Alpha Phi Foundation, Attn: Art Contest, 1930 Sherman Ave., Evanston, IL 60201 no later than Oct. 30, 2007. This year’s theme: GET YOUR RED ON! Accompanying text: Mark your calendars for National Wear Red Day on Feb. 2, 2008, and GET YOUR RED ON! Everyone can support the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. Wear your favorite red clothes and/or your Red Dress pin and GET YOUR RED ON to show your support for women and the fight against heart disease.
