Message from the International President Dear Sisters, Fall is here! For me and so many other sisters, fall is the most exciting season in Alpha Phi. The start of the academic year represents new beginnings. Friendships are renewed, new members are welcomed, new leaders are born, and sisterhood flourishes in chapters across North America.

Our fall issue of the Quarterly is our most significant because of our outreach to our entire membership. All sisters for whom we have a Laura Malley-Schmitt valid mailing address receive this issue.* We hope this outreach energizes members who we don’t hear from as much to rediscover Alpha Phi. In this issue, we’re introducing a new Distinguished Sister Series to recognize alumnae and collegians who have achieved significant success in their careers, on campus and/or in their communities. You will also find interesting and helpful information from our alumnae department. All of this is a reminder that Alpha Phi remains a relevant part of our experience beyond college. Our alumnae continue to benefit from the life lessons learned as collegiate members. Our alumnae continue to bring honor to our sisterhood in so many different ways.

I continue to draw so much inspiration from our alumnae who support Alpha Phi in whatever way they can. So many choose to give back through volunteer or financial support. Many others choose to pay it forward as mentors and friends to other sisters.

As long as memory remains to us, may we remember Alpha Phi!

2009 Emerging Leaders Institute Scrapbook

The 2008 U.S. federal, state and local elections are just around the corner. The goal of this article is not to tell you about the candidates, nor for whom to vote; we simply hope to remind you that as women, we have the right to make our voices heard – a right our Founders did not have when they were in college or for most of their lives.

Since deadlines to register to vote begin as early as Oct. 4, Alpha Phi has been encouraging sisters to register since June, at Convention and on our Web site. For specific registration deadlines in your state, to learn how to register and vote, to research candidates and find other voting resources, visit www.alphaphi.org.

Next step: vote! If you are a U.S. citizen and 18 years of age or older, it is your right to vote. (See page 7.)

It hasn’t always been this When our Founders established Alpha Phi in 1872, the world was much different. Men dominated America's culture and power structure. Society viewed women only as daughters, wives and mothers.

Alpha Phi Implements New Measures to Protect Members

1776

Declaration of Independence signed.

Right to vote restricted to property owners – most of whom are white male Protestants over the age of 21.

1787

U.S. Constitution signed. Right to vote decision was up to the states, which restricted voting to white males based on religious, property and taxpaying qualifications.

Women were beginning to have more educational opportunities than ever before. However, the majority of colleges and universities were for men only (59 percent), and coeducation was a new endeavor that often met with resistance. In 1870, only 0.7 percent of the female population went to college. When our 10 Founders attended Syracuse University, they represented half of the school’s female student population.

The 1870 U.S. Census reported that females made up 15 percent of the total U.S. workforce, but the majority worked in occupations considered more “gentle” such as teaching, dressmaking, millinery and tailoring.

Women were not allowed equal opportunities in education or the workplace. If married, they could not divorce an abusive husband or gain custody of their children. Women were not allowed to vote or hold public office. Women were struggling to secure these basic rights during this time, and their fight often met much resistance.

1920

Women gain the right to vote. The 19th Amendment declares that the right to vote cannot be denied “on account of sex.”

vote

Historical perspective of women’s right to The U.S. women’s suffrage movement, or the right of women to vote, evolved from the first organized women’s rights convention, held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, N.Y. More than 300 women and men discussed the subjugation of women in the U.S. and the rights they were entitled to as American citizens. The 68 female and 32 male delegates signed a Declaration of Sentiments, patterned after the U.S. Declaration of Independence, that stated “all men and women are created equal.”

More conventions followed, organized by the prominent women leaders of the time.

The National Woman Suffrage Association and American Woman Suffrage Association were formed in 1869, merging in 1890 to become the National American Woman Suffrage Association. It was the most well-known pro-suffrage organization of the time. Its members lobbied for women’s right to vote on a state-by-state basis in an effort to influence the federal government.

In 1869, Wyoming became the first state to allow women to vote

1924

The Indian Citizenship Act grants Native Americans U.S. citizenship, and thus the right to vote. However, the right to vote is still governed by state law, and Native Americans are not allowed to vote in Arizona and New Mexico until 1948.

Following the Civil War and the end of slavery, the 15th Amendment states the right to vote cannot be denied “on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude”; although African American men won the right to vote, some states implemented property requirements, poll taxes or literacy tests that prevented them from doing so. This persisted into the 1960s.

in state and local elections. By 1912, nine states had granted women voting rights in state and local elections.

Suffragists used visible tactics to make their voices heard, including writing newspaper editorials and creating their own publications, participating in suffrage parades, signing petitions and demonstrating.

Susan B. Anthony, a prominent civil rights, women’s rights and women’s suffrage leader of the time who encouraged women to register and vote in 1872, was arrested with other women who attempted to vote in that year’s presidential election.

The “Anthony Amendment,” which would allow women to vote in federal elections, was introduced to U.S. Congress in 1878, and the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate voted on the amendment in 1887, 1918 and 1919 to no avail.

The women’s suffrage movement received national attention by the 1900s as suffragists employed more high-profile and radical measures: storming state legislatures, protests, arrests and hunger strikes.

The Voting Rights Act bans literacy tests as a voting requirement and bars all racist voting practices in all states.

The 24th Amendment declares that the states cannot require citizens to pay a poll tax in order to vote in federal elections.

1971

1975

Additions to the Voting Rights Act require translations of all election materials to be made available for non-English speaking citizens.

In response to the Vietnam War and the outcry, “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote,” the 26th Amendment lowers the voting age from 21 to 18.

Leads Top Women’s Networks

"Part of being in entertainment is living life like your audience and experiencing different things."

PA G E T W O

As you look through the television lineup any given week, you're likely to run across a program that Andrea Wong (Zeta Phi-MIT) has had a hand in creating.

As chief executive officer and president of Lifetime Entertainment Services, Inc., Andrea has been instrumental in the success of "Army Wives," the launch of new drama "Drop Dead Diva," and in a rare move - bringing "Project Runway" to Lifetime from another network.

Andrea came to Lifetime in April 2007 from ABC where she was executive vice president of alternative programming, specials and late night. In her tenure at ABC, she oversaw the development of "The Bachelor" as well as the U.S. versions of "Dancing With the Stars" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

Andrea first came to ABC in 1993 as a researcher for "ABC News PrimeTime Live." Within a year, she became an executive assistant at the network. In 1997, Andrea was named vice president and executive assistant to the president of ABC. The following year, she was promoted to vice president, alternative series and specials.

Why did you join Alpha Phi? I joined because it offered the opportunity to meet women and make friends at a university that was only 25-30 percent female.

What was the best lesson you learned as a collegian?

The ability to remain undaunted and attack each problem with discipline and lack of fear is an important skill I had gained at MIT. I always tell people there are no harder problems than the ones we were challenged to solve at MIT. I have never worked harder in my life. I truly developed the belief that I could solve any problem. I face difficult business problems every day. It is always about breaking down a problem and attacking one part at a time.

What are some of your favorite Alpha Phi memories?

I loved playing hockey for Alpha Phi. My other favorite memories include all the formals and social activities.

You graduated in 1988 with a degree in electrical engineering and received an MBA from Stanford University. What was your career path?

"Have the courage to do what you're passionate about."

During my junior year, I got a summer job doing options trading at O’Connor Associates. This was the first time I realized someone would hire me to do things other than engineering, which was quite liberating. I realized I didn't have to be an electrical engineer. People valued my skills outside of that.

So after graduation, I went into investment banking in New York at CS First Boston, followed by strategic planning at PepsiCo and then business school. After exploring and talking to people, I figured out what I was passionate about, which included television and news. I started after business school at ABC News as a production assistant and worked my way up.

What is your advice for sisters interested in your field?

Have the courage to do what you're passionate about. You have the tools to be successful. Don’t be afraid of starting over again.

When did you know you wanted to be part of the entertainment industry?

At Stanford Business School, I had two years to learn and to figure out my career path. I asked myself: “What do I like doing every day?” Three things came to mind: travel, entertainment and restaurants. So I wrote letters to alumnae, and I explored and read about various industries. I asked myself,“What might somebody with my skills be able to do?”

I got a summer job at NBC. It was on the business side, which was a role I didn’t enjoy as much as I thought I would.

Fortunately, I met someone in the news division: the executive producer of “The Today Show.” I asked if I could sit in the control room of the show and I was blown away, loved it and spent the next four weeks there.

what's going on across the country, not just Los Angeles or New York. I spend a lot of time with my family. I have two sisters, two brothers and eleven nieces and nephews.

How did you come up with the ideas for “The Bachelor” and “Dancing With The Stars?”

Someone pitched me this idea: “There’s one guy and 25 women. They go on dates each week, and at the end of each week, he gives out roses to all but one woman. Eventually one person will get asked to marry him.” I helped him develop the idea further. I asked myself what are the important things in a relationship and then I put it in the show. There is the point in time when you meet their friends, meet their parents, go to their home. Then, you organically throw all these elements into the show ... I can talk about this forever.

“Dancing with the Stars” was bought from the UK. I just loved it! It was my biggest risk. Nobody believed it would work.

What are your goals as CEO of Lifetime?

Build Lifetime, build its profitability and grow the company.

When I got here, there was a tremendous amount that needed to be fixed. During the first year, it was important to put the right team in place. We also brought “Project Runway” to Lifetime from another network, which is unheard of, and would not have been possible without a relationship with Harvey Weinstein.

How excited were you for “Project Runway” to come to Lifetime this summer?

I am extremely excited about it! This is one prong out of a three-pronged programming strategy. In addition, we are focusing on a huge drama called “Army Wives” as well as making about 40 movies, which is a huge initiative for us.

In 2008, Alpha Phi International named Andrea as this biennium's recipient of the Frances E. Willard (FEW) award, the organization's highest honor. The FEW is awarded to alumnae who have achieved outstanding success in their chosen fields and who have gained recognition on a

What obstacles have you encountered in your career, and how did you overcome them?

The biggest one was because I am an engineer and have an MBA, people didn't think I was creative. They never doubted that I was smart. It was hard to move to the creative side of business. While for some people, one hit would have been enough; for me, I needed to develop three or four to prove to people that I was creative.

Led by Andrea Wong, Lifetime Networks received five 2009 Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

Winners were not available at print time.

Adapted from an interview conducted by Wendy Wen (Zeta Phi-MIT) that was printed in the Fall 2008 Zeta Phi Alumnae Newsletter.

How do you balance work and life?

You can't be good at your job if you work 24 hours a day. Part of being in entertainment is living life like your audience and experiencing different things. It is important to be in touch with FALL 2009

What Is an Alumnae Panhellenic?

An Alumnae Panhellenic Association (APH) is a community-based organization, affiliated with National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), whose membership is composed of representative alumnae from NPC member groups.

The purpose of Alumnae Panhellenics is to: • • • •

Inform fraternity women of current trends Promote the fraternity system Improve the Panhellenic image Stimulate a continuing interest in Panhellenic affairs

APHs enhance the fraternity system through scholarship awards, annual educational and informational functions for prospective college freshmen, philanthropic projects, community participation and civic leadership. Last year, more than $435,000 was raised and granted in scholarships by APHs to more than 580 women. If located in a college community, an APH can give valuable support to a College Panhellenic.

Benefits of joining an Alumnae Panhellenic: • • • • •

Expand your network and meet new people Maintain a connection with Greek life Promote and foster the Greek experience Assist collegiate chapters with recruitment Increase recognition of Alpha Phi

How to join: At this time, there are more than 200 APHs in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. Visit www.npcwomen.org for a directory of locations.

“

Representing Alpha Phi in the Greater Little Rock Panhellenic has allowed me the opportunity to introduce Alpha Phi to other NPC groups, giving a face and voice to our Fraternity. This Alumnae Panhellenic is representative of the ideals and leadership skills that are promoted through each sorority, and I am proud to be affiliated with this group.”

-Becky Del Rio (Delta Tau-Louisiana State)

The 50-year pin, a silver circle with four red stones, was created in recognition of the Fraternity’s 50th anniversary.

It was presented to the living Founders at the time.

In 1944 • Much of the news was focused on World War II, including the Battle of Normandy (code named D-Day) and the Battle of the Bulge.

• The United States Forest Service and the Wartime Advertising Council release posters featuring Smokey Bear for the first time.

• With his victory during the election of 1944, Franklin D. Roosevelt became the only president to be elected to a fourth term.

Dear Alpha Phi Sister...

Thank you

for making my experience at ELI so wonderful! You not only made it possible for me to experience such a vital leadership workshop, but you gave your own time as a Silver Circle Facilitator to truly see how ELI encourages young Alpha Phi women to continue as leaders. Your dedication to make sure Alpha Phi women receive qualified training has inspired and motivated me.

I want to bring back the most I possibly can...and keep the value of stewardship everlasting.

As the facilitators of the Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI), we did not know what to fully expect. Eagerly we awaited the arrival of collegiate women who would partake in a life-changing, self discovering experience over the span of five days. We completed our training, created our flip charts and organized our supplies.

We were ready. As the shuttle buses arrived, we hoped too that we would have meaningful experiences as we guided our collegiate women on their leadership journeys. These are a couple of our stories:

Alpha Phi Implements New Measures To Protect Members Chances are your own fire safety education started and ended with one message: “Stop, drop and roll” – a message geared towards young children. Unfortunately the fire safety message did not mature as you did, and now it is an antiquated and incorrect approach for adults.

Though this message did not evolve, the reasoning behind it remains a matter of life and death.

Since 2000, there have been 135 campus-related fatalities, and of this number there were eight Greek members who perished.

In a sorority or fraternity chapter house, the exposure to fire is substantial because of the residential living feature, young adults residing on the property and the amount of guest traffic.

MYTH: If one sprinkler head starts, the entire system goes, and the house is ruined.

REALITY: Each fire sprinkler head operates independently and engages when temperatures reach 155-165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Alpha Phi initiative Alpha Phi Fraternity leaders are always concerned about the safety of its members, and as a result, the Fraternity is taking a bold step to significantly reduce the risks related to fires in chapter houses.

The International Executive Board has passed a new Fraternity policy to help ensure the safety of members and their guests.

Effective Sept. 1, 2014, all chapter facilities owned by house corporations must have a fire suppression system which sprinkles 100 percent of the facility.

For those properties owned by a university or landlord, the house corporation or chapter property committee will meet with the landlord to ensure the facility is in compliance with local fire district requirement

by Sept. 1, CSU/Long Beach (Gamma Kappa) installed 2010. The a fire sprinkler system during the compliance summer. Here you can see how a items include, sprinkler head is installed.

PA G E T W E N T Y- E I G H T

but are not limited to, installation, maintenance and inspection of smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, emergency exit signs and quick release door locks throughout the facility.

Chapter house corporations are Completed project. already making The flat disc is barely visible. preparations to implement this new policy. Alpha Phi’s insurance agent, MJ Insurance, Inc. (Indianapolis, Ind.), has provided us with a tool to help the house corporations plan for this property investment called “Automatic Sprinkler Toolbox: The ways, whens and hows of installing an automatic sprinkler system.” This can be found at www.mjsorority.com/resources/library/firesafety or in the housing section of www.alphaphi.org.

The Fraternity will be proactively providing information on the Web site and will be using all training venues to offer fire safety education to all house corporations, chapter property committees, advisors and collegians. All involved will be needed to help accomplish the goal of every Alpha Phi facility being protected.

MYTH: Sprinkler systems sometimes start for no reason.

REALITY: Research shows the probability of a sprinkler discharging accidentally is one in 16,000,000.

Why? As a landlord, Alpha Phi has the obligation and duty to maintain safe properties. Statistics on sprinkler systems speak for themselves.

A sprinkler system reduces the ultimate property damage of a fire by 85 percent. But most profoundly, there has never been a multiple loss of life (three or more people) in a fully sprinklered building due to fire or smoke.

ALPHA PHI

Quarterly

Alpha Phi leaders reviewed all the options available to dramatically decrease the risks of fire. Mandating sprinkler systems in chapter houses was the most cost-effective and conclusive choice.

MYTH: All you need are smoke detectors.

REALITY: Smoke detectors alert you, but they do not control, slow or stop flames, lethal smoke or toxic gases.

Why now?

During the past 17 years (at the insistence of the nation’s fire service community), technology has helped develop an affordable residential sprinkler system. This development finally allows Greek housing leaders to consider this vital risk management tool.

Meanwhile colleges, A newly installed fire alarm is municipalities and even now protecting the chapter house. some states have stepped up their efforts to significantly increase the number of residential facilities with sprinkler systems. The Princeton Review now includes sprinkler systems presence in their evaluation of campuses.

Alpha Phi leaders, as landlords, have a responsibility to provide safe properties for their members. No one takes this responsibility lightly.

The entire organization is committed to this effort.

MYTH: Sprinklers are too expensive.

Delta Alpha HCB Takes Action This past spring, East Carolina University experienced the loss of one of its fraternity houses to fire. Fortunately, only one injury occurred, but it could have been much worse. North Carolina has had the misfortune of a number of deaths due to Greek houses burning. We don't want any Alpha Phi to be on that list.

Several weeks prior to the fraternity fire, we had a small fire in our kitchen. The women acted appropriately, and the fire was out in minutes. This experience and then the fraternity house burning have made the danger very real to our members.

North Carolina has required fire sprinkler system installation be completed by 2012. In spite of the deadline being several years off, the East Carolina (Delta Alpha) house corporation board installed a fire sprinkler system this summer.

I am more comfortable knowing the women in our house will be given time to escape, should we experience a fire. We hope parents will be more confident of their daughters’ safety with this installation, the fire alarm system and security system. Each sister is a valued member of our family, and we want to protect them. We gladly complied with this North Carolina law in hopes of giving our members the extra time needed to reach safety if ever necessary.

–Susan Wilson Ellis (Delta Alpha-East Carolina), Delta Alpha house corporation board president

REALITY: Sprinklers are much more affordable now thanks to technological advancements and building code changes.

On average, property owners can expect to pay $2.50-3.60 per square foot for a complete sprinkler system installation.

THANK YOU

A special thanks goes to MJ Insurance for providing resources and ongoing support for the Alpha Phi sprinkler systems. Thank you also to Lori Hirsch Stokoe (Beta Alpha-Illinois) for providing photos of the new sprinkler system at the CSU/Long Beach (Gamma Kappa) collegiate chapter.

Alpha Phi Welcomes New Fraternity Executive Director Linda Wells Kahangi (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) joined the Fraternity as its new executive director in June.

She brings to her new role more than 20 years of professional management experience, most recently as division president and executive vice president of operations for EarthLink.

She also has more than 10 years of experience as an Alpha Phi volunteer, supporting four collegiate chapters on the East and West coasts.

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and psychology from Iowa State University and earned a master’s in business administration from St. Mary’s

L I N DA K A H A N G I

College of California.

Q

What made you decide to transition from EarthLink to Alpha Phi International Fraternity?

My career plan was always to move from a full-time high-tech management position to a number of board of director roles as I got nearer to retirement. I hoped that would allow me the opportunity to spend more time on things I loved, including Alpha Phi. When I saw the executive director job posted, to me it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it allowed me to jump earlier to work on something I love. And, coincidentally, the board of directors position I hold is with a company in the Chicago area (Tellabs, Inc., Naperville, Ill.).

Q

What are you most looking forward to about taking on the ED position?

Everything! The position is a great combination of the things I have enjoyed the most in the working world and the things I have found to be most fun and rewarding about my collegiate and alumnae experiences in Alpha Phi. The best part is there is so much opportunity for innovation and creativity; I get to spend my day thinking about how to make Alpha Phi an even better and more meaningful collegiate and alumnae experience.

PA G E F O RT Y

Q

You've been in the ED position just over three months. Is there anything that stands out?

I knew Alpha Phi was an organization of strong, smart women, but the people I meet every day in this position – on the International Executive Board, in the Executive Office, on the Foundation Board and staff, on the regional teams and committees and in our member base – continually impress me with their talent, intellect and sincere desire to make Alpha Phi the best it can be.

Everyone’s hearts and motivations are in the right place, which is a refreshing change from the business world’s focus on creating shareholder wealth.

“

The position is a great combination of the things I have enjoyed the most in the working world and the things I have found to be most fun and rewarding about my collegiate and alumnae experiences in Alpha Phi." ALPHA PHI

Quarterly

Q

What are some goals you have for the Fraternity?

My primary goals are to keep the Fraternity healthy, strong, growing and adaptable to change. This will provide a foundation upon which our International Executive Board, together with the strong volunteer leadership structure across the U.S. and Canada, can continue to evolve Alpha Phi to be more and more meaningful for our collegians and alumnae. That being said, I do have areas of special interest I hope to contribute to personally.

The first is using technology to strengthen our relationships and communication with each other. Alpha Phi is a leader in this space already, and I intend to ensure we stay a leader and innovate in this area in ways that delight our members.

The second area is housing. I want to strengthen the support we give our house corporation board (HCB) volunteers and find ways to make the HCB volunteer roles less daunting and more rewarding and fun.

Finally, the third area is mentorship of women in business – and especially in technology careers. I would like to help grow Alpha Phi’s network and support structure in the business world for the benefit of our members.

Q

What does being an Alpha Phi mean to you?

Being an Alpha Phi is something I am very proud of. I think the leadership of Alpha Phi over time has done a great job balancing its high integrity foundation and timeless traditions with a sense of flexibility and desire to keep the Fraternity relevant and meaningful in today’s world. At the core, it will always be a group of smart, talented women who I really enjoy knowing and counting as my friends. Being associated with such a high caliber of women also raises my expectations of myself.

Q

How did Alpha Phi influence your college years? Your life today?

During college, Alpha Phi was really a home away from home to me, and its membership and programs provided a wonderful support system and group of close friends. It also provided many opportunities to develop future business and leadership skills that were invaluable as I began my career. Leading recruitment at a large university definitely teaches you good project management skills! Today, Alpha Phi serves both as a network of dear friends and also an opportunity to make a difference by helping make the Alpha Phi experience the best it can be for young women.

It was called “I Will Remember You,” and it was written by a good friend of a woman in our chapter. I have a tattered copy of the song, which was later sung at my wedding and my son’s graduation, and I will always love it.

Some of my favorite memories as an alumna are of my son essentially growing up in the Beta Psi chapter house at San Jose State. I was chapter operations advisor and then house corporation board president and spent quite a bit of time at the house. He often accompanied me to meetings and got lots of attention from the collegians. I never had any trouble finding babysitters, and our wonderful after school nanny was - of course - also a San Jose State collegian.

Q

You have been active as an Alpha Phi volunteer for more than 10 years. Why do you recommend being involved as an alumna? What did you like most about working with collegiate Alpha Phis?

As a young alumna new to the working world, Alpha Phi is a wonderful support network. I moved from Iowa to Maryland when I graduated from college and immediately found a wonderful group of friends and mentors in the D.C. area alumnae group. This was the case later when I moved to California as well.

Alpha Phi also provides great opportunities for young alumnae to broaden their business skills. A great example is San Jose State’s house corporation board; they have created roles specifically for new graduates on their board where the young alumnae can learn how a board operates and then grow into more significant roles either on the board or the advisory board. Later, I think the benefits to being involved as an alumna change, and it becomes more about how very rewarding it is to help grow and mentor the collegians and young alumnae.

The best thing about having the opportunity to work with our Alpha Phi collegians is watching them grow and develop into confident leaders. You feel an immense sense of pride knowing they are on a path to success in the adult world and with their future careers, and that you played a small role in it.
