BULLETIN
Not What We Give But What We Share • IT is a commentary on Americans that we are more interested in what we are to receive than what we shall be asked to give. Selection as a sorority m ember allows you to share in an organization with a rich heritage. The word sorority is synonymou with fri endship. Close friendships are welded through a well integrated sorority program in coll ege and a lumnae chapters. Sorority life provides training no other organiz~ tion can offer. In addition to a pleasant social life, you learn to respect the viewpoint of others; to see the good of the organization rather than the wishes of one person; to work and play_with your sisters with similar interests and ideals ; and, you experience training in leadership which makes you a better citizen of a college campus, and later of the community in which you live. What more priceless gifts could you receive from your sorority?-EvELYN G. BELL, National President.

JANUARY • 1958
• A BRONZE PLAQUE commemorating the five founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha and the fiftysixth anniversary of the founding of the sorority on Longwood College campus was presented November 16, to the college by Miss Helen L. Corey, national secretary. Dr. Francis G. Lankford, president of Longwood College, accepted the plaque which hangs in the Rotunda, the main building of the school. Among the honored guests for the presentation were Mrs. H. E. Gillium (Juliette Hundley) , one of the five founders; Mrs. J. L. Jones (Edna Elcan ), the first national president; Mrs. Eugene H. Crompton, national scholarship chairman; and Miss Corey.
Recommendation Blanks Are Important • EACH of our forty college chapters throughout the country is dependent upon our alumnae for recommendations. All of us want to maintain the high standards of membership selection Alph a Sigma Alpha has had since the founding days m Virginia. With increased enrollments in all colleges, it has become more and more difficult for our college members to meet rushees outside of rushing parties. The recommendations can supply some of the necessary information about rushees before the formal rush season begins, and are extremely important to the well-being of the individual chapter and our organization as a national sorority.
