WHY CONVENTION?

BY H E LEN

L.

CoREY

National Convention Chairman The National Convention is the governing body of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and this twenty-third national convention will m eet to carry on the important business of running our organization.

The Convention, to be held in the beautiful Grand Hotel on the "Wonderland" of Mackinac Island in Michigan, h as been carefully planned by your national officers.

It is during Convention that your officers will be given opportunities to report, to inform, and to recommend. Opportunities, too, will be theirs for sharing the experiences of years of work in A~A.

Your letters to national officers indicate that you would like to know them personally. The convention will give you this opportunity to meet them and to know they are " just people," too. Our national family is made up of A~As of all ages, and we have a good time togeth er because of our common interes t-A~A. We might think of our Convention as a huge workshop where round table and panel discussions provide an opportunity for an informal exchange of ideas of benefit to every college and alumnae chapter.

The Convention is A~A's m eans of giving the delegates the opportunity to elect new officers, plan the program for the next three years, and to take back to their chapters, college and alumnae, some of th.e ideas, knowledge, and inspiration experienced.

Convention is a time to learn to develop good cam pus leaders to be good community leaders of the future.

Although at Convention Alpha Sigmas find working together a privilege, there will also be many hours set aside for fun and fellowship , for sports and sight-seeing.

Convention is a time of fun and hard work, late nights and early rising, of inspiration and song, of reunion with old friends and the making of new ones.

OUR HERITAGE IN ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA BY

ANNE RHODES HAMILTON

1\'ational Historian

' 'FROM THE HEART OF OLD VIRGINNY . . . . "

On the campus of Farmville State Female 1 orma l School in the fall of 1901 , there were five girls who had become very good friends. They were attractive, vivacious, intelligent, and they had been rushed and bid by the three existent campus sororities-Kappa Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha. However, if they accepted these bids they would not be together, so they decided to organize a fourth sorority envisioning it to develop into national scope.

Therefore, on ovember 15, 1901. th ese five girl s, Virginia Lee Boyd (Mrs. John Walton oell ), Louise Burk Cox (Mrs. W. B. Carper, Sr. ) , Juliette J efferson Hundley (Mrs. H. E . Gilliam ) , Mary Williamson Hundley, and Calva Hamlet Watson (Mr . P. W. Wooten ), oraanized a .orority wh ich they named Alpha Sigma Alpha.

This became the first national sorority found ed in th e twentieth century. Lega lizing its existence the Alpha Sioma Alpha Charter was granted by th e Circuit Court for the County of Prince Edward, \ irginia on February 13, I 903.

From this b ainnina and durina the fir t decade of its exi tence, A~A chartered thirteen chapters, held six nationa l com路entions, elected national officers, began publication of a sorority magazine. inihapter in pection , oraanized alumnae tiat d 4

chapters, and became known and accepted by tlw sorority and fraternity world. Like other national sororities in southern schools, Alpha Sigma Alpha found chapters were often killed by anti-sorority legislation or from lack of returning members. Because of the education field's need for sororities, A~A decided to limit its chapters to teachers colleges and colleges of education in universities.

At its 1914 convention at Miami University (Ohio ) , four chapters participated in Alpha Sigma Alpha's reorganization: Alpha at Farmville, Alpha Alpha at Miami University, Alpha Beta at Kirk. "ille, Missouri, and Alpha Gamma at Indiana, Pennsylvania. The chapter roll lengthened with the addition of many accredited enior colleaes.

Services increased, and its members brought distinction to the sorority.

Howe,路er after many years, significant changes in college c lassifications and in accrediting agencie serving these colleges prohibited sorority expansion within form er boundaries. Therefore, Alpha Sigma Alpha , with its distinguished record of accomplishments, became affiliated with lational Panhellenic Conference in 194 7 and became a fullfledged member on ovember 27. 1951. Since that time A~A ha areatly en larged it . cope. Our college chapter number forty, and our alumna路 chapter are over a hundred . Alpha Sigma Alpha

representatives to NPC have held varied and important assignments and chairmanships, which have given A:IA a significant place in th e interfraternity world.

Our sorority growth has been made possible only through the guidance and leadership and unselfish devotion of many beloved members. All of them would be too numerous to mention, but special recognition is given to our five founders, all of whom are living but one- Virginia Lee Boyd Noell, who died on November 19, 1954- and to Wilma Wilson Sharp and Evelyn G. Bell, who have both served the sorority as past national presidents and in other valuable capacities.

The ideals fostered by our founders and strengthened through the years serve as an inspiration to stimulate growth and progress. To help each college and alumnae chapter at any time are eight national council members and nineteen national chairmen. Through working together on all phases of sorority life, Alpha Sigma Alpha can continue to possess the " quality" we desire. Perhaps if we remember the " Pledging Day Song," no endeavor will be too great.

Philanthropic Fund. Therefore, each undergraduate and each alumnae m ember has a n opportunity to he lp support and mainta in our service to others.

The Fellowship and Philanthro ic Fund was esta blished by the national convention in 1926 with a beginning of only sixty-four dollars. It is built by voluntary contributions from alumn ae and college chapters. These annual contributions are usually made in connection with our Founders' Day celebration in November, but they can be accepted anytime.

In addition to its aid in furthering the National Philanthropic Project, the Fund also grants loans to members to meet college expenses and to pledges for initiation fees.

With w hat m easure you m ete will be m eted you In service and lo ve each day, And to give full m easurP your whole life through Is your pledge to A:SA.

At the 1941 national convention, th e Wilma Wilson Sharp Award was established to be presented annually to an alumna who has done outstanding work professionally or in community service and has shown continued loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha. It is given in the name of Wilma Wilson Sharp (Mrs. Fred ) Zeta Zeta, president emeritu s, who was national president for two separate terms, as we ll as serving the sorority in many other capacities.

College and alumnae chapters nomina te candidates from whom the nationa l alumnae-awards committee selects the winner. At first the award token was a U. S. Savings Bond, but it is now a lovely silYer tray, suitably engraved.

TO OTHERS

'路It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Through the years, many and varied philanthropic projects by alumnae and college chapters have been undertaken, but the current project is service to mentally retarded children. This was adopted by the 1958 national convention as one project on which the sorority could work both loca lly and nationally. The 1958 national convention also voted that all monies designated as available for philanthropy should be devoted to scholarships and/ or fellowships for study in the field of mental retardation. These scholarships are to be administered by a committee of A:SA members having professional qualifications in this field. Those who have been appointed to serve on the advisory committee are Dr. S. June Smith, Lancaster, Pennsylvania ; Dr. Emily Leatherman Stogdill, Columbus, Ohio ; and Mrs. H. L. Shibler, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Sorority philanthropy receives assistance from two national funds: ( 1) profit from the Magazine Fund and (2 ) a portion of the Fellowship and

THINK ON THESE THINGS THE NEW YEAR is now upon us, and we look forward to 1961 with hope for a peaceful world, enthusiasm for personal endeavors, and, in general, with excitement for the unknown future. M any roads that we shall travel during the year are of our own planning. If the important decisions are made with wisdom, the results can become both profitable and enjoyab le.

Alpha Sigma Alpha is a nxious for its sisters in college to h ave a happy year filled with worth-while experiences. National Panhellenic Conference, too, is concerned with the future of each and every collegiate member and adopted certain resolutions at the last meeting to act as a guide for campus living. The resolutions are printed below ; think on th ese things!

f

i j j j j

WHEREAS, Expenditure of time and large sums of money upon various campus activities such as homecoming, spring fro lics, queen contests, and so forth, has grown out of all proportion to reasonable chapter budgets and to the intrinsic value of such activities; therefore BE IT RESOLVED, That the National Panhellenic Conference discourages excessive and expensive participa tion of fratern ity chapters in this type of campus program.

WHEREAS, An over-emphasis upon campus act1v1t1es and social affairs, which have intrinsic worth in a well-rounded college experience, may nevertheless interfere with the best possible adjustment on the part of freshmen and other entering students ; and WHEREAS, There is a vital need for a fundamental knowledge and understanding of the fraternity, its organization, aims, and ideals on the part of all members ; therefore BE IT RESOLVED, That the National Panhellenic Conference member fraternities encourage their chapters to emphasize fraternity education during the period of pledgeship, with a comparable reduction of pressures toward overparticipation in campus activities and attendance at social affairs.

W HEREAS, Scholarship and the genuine love of learning are recognized as fundame ntal values and aims by a ll member fraternities of NPC ; and

1

i

i i

I i

I

WHEREAS, Setting of high standards of scho larship for all students is the prerogative and responsibility of the college or u niversity, and assisting individual members in attaining these standards is the responsibility of the fraternities; therefore BE IT RESOLVED, That the member fraternities of the N ational Panhellenic Conference encourage in their chapters an even greater emphasis upon assisting pledges in their academic adjustment and upon encouraging high scholarly achievement on the part of all members.

IF Alpha Sigma Alpha has a significance to us, it surely should infer that it is a sisterhood dedicated to the growth and development of womanhood in all pha es. This idea has been upheld through over fifty years of our organization.

Perhaps in these times it may be wise to give seriou thouo-ht to the tenets of Alpha Sigma Alpha and to meditate upon them. Do we feel, as we arow from pledgeship and college membership to alumnae, that our days of service, obligation. and loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha are completed? Do we feel that Alpha Sigma Alpha is merely an organization limited only to our social well -being and training while a student in college?

Or do we feel, as our founders no doubt reflected, that ervice and loyalty for and to Alpha Sigma Alpha are not temporal but, rather, a continual obligation and opportunity?

Louise Cox Carper once wrote, "Alpha Sigma Alpha has a definite work to perform throughout the live of its members and through them a beneficent influence upon society at large." Giving of our elve freely, to others fulfills this obligation and, a a by-product, enrich es our own lives. Our way i clear ; our purpo es remain steadfast. Our principle and tenets reflect upon the wisdom of our founder to whom we are gratefu l for establishing the high ideals morals and standards of Alpha igma Alpha. It behooves us as members to be coanizant of these principles and to continue to uphold thee ideal .- VIOLA CARAWAY BREWER atinnal Ritual C ha.irman.

I was delighted with the outline for the scholar hip proaram I received from the chapter this fall. Th program component, through necessity, vary from campu to campus. However some rec nt innovation for impro\路ing scholar hip are a folio\ : Beta Beta u a eparate room, away from the tudy area for typing.

Eta Eta has all acti e and pledges turn in all te t grades each week to the cholar hip chairman.

16

Kappa Kappa is developing an old exam file to use as a ba is for study.

Phi Phi has the actives answer to roll call with the number of classes cut during the previous week. The reason for cutting must be given, and no excuse will be tolerated except those for illness, etc. The pledges also must report class cuts.

The national dues will be paid by Beta Nu for the girl with the highest over-all scholastic averaae for the school year.

Beta Sigma hands out mid-term checks which must be returned with the professor's signature to the scholarship chairman so that she may check progress or digression.

Beta Phi has in operation a plan whereby each pledge must spend one hour of study at the library with each of ten actives. The actives as well as the pledges, have found that this has aided the development of better study habits and also helped promote closeness between them. They also have a scholarship trophy which is awarded each semester to the girl who has attained the highe t average for the semester. The girl's name and her grade point are engraved on the trophy, a gift from the local alumnae chapter.

Many of our chapters are employing variou combinations of the "tried and true" methods for attaining higher scholastic achievement, such as regular study hours with enforced rules and regulations ; competition between classes, actives and pledges, or individuals ; awards and recognition; and tutoring systems.

I am looking forward to receiving the first quarter and mid-term reports, and I am anticipating the result of your excellent scholarship programs.

I know all of you are a piring to the highest intellectual development.

"A positiYe thinker he set high goal for Alpha Delta Pi and with strength of character strove to attain them," writes a chapter about one winner. " She i the type of responsible leader who

can infuse these goals in others and thus unite the chapter in common purpose. She is, herself, a very well-balanced person, combining seriousness with enthusiasm, firmness and understandinaand de oâ&#x20AC;˘ termination with tolerance."

Writes a province president about another winner: "She has definitely used every collegiate moment to develop her own potential and that of her sisters in the sorority. She has an understanding of personalities that has enabled her to guide the chapter harmoniously." The chapter president reports, "She truly has the love and respect of every pledge and active in this house."

"She has always been of good sound judgment and wholly cooperative" ... "She is always ready with a helping hand and a cheery, understanding attitude which never changes."- The Adelphean of Alpha Delta Pi.

FROM memories' storehouse come the words of an Alpha Sigma song first introduced to me as a rushee. After pledging Alpha Sigma Alpha this song was always a favorite with me, and I can remember songfests where it was sung with much gusto! That song expresses the charm of an Alpha Sigma.

For when an Alpha Sig walks down the street, . She looks 100 per from head to feet, She has that style, that smile, that winning way, And everywhere you go, you'll recognize her And you'll say, Now there's a girl I'd like to know.

She has that grand ole Alpha pep and go, And just to look at her is quite a treat, You cannot beat an Alpha Sig. Let's ponder the words, "She has that style, that smile, that winning way." To me they completely summarize the ideals of Alpha Sigma Alpha-our aims, inspirations, and obligations.

To have style, one's appearance is important because that is probably the .first impression made.

This does not infer an expensive array but rather good grooming-cleanliness and wholesomeness.

A smile is a wonderful gift to give. A smile imparts happiness. Our inspirations from within and the knowledge of a Divine love glow radiantly through a smile.

Our winning ways-the charm of being an understanding person. Aren't we always drawn to one who is a good .listener, one who thinks of others in speech and in actions? Also, aren't we drawn to Qne who has that added stimulus, a good sense of humor?

We are ambassadors of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and we must remember that our actions good or bad reflect ?n the sorority. Let's develo~ our style fo; e~ery_thmg good, have a ready smile, and keep a wmnmg t~am. May we always carry a melody of Alpha Sigma Alpha in our hearts.- HELEN HooPER MALONE, National Philanthropic Chairman.

SoMETIMES I feel that selecting the membership in a Fraternity is similar to the choosing of a husband. Ideally, the whole family is concerned . the bride. ' not Just Careful parents, very early, will teach their daughter what they consider the elements of a happy relationship. From their maturity and experience they know what is important and what is unimportant. Similarity of background, ideals, character and philosophy is basic to family unity, they know. And so they draw broad lines of d~lineation within which they hope their daughter will find the husband of her choice.

A loving daughter will respect these lines and appreciate that wide latitude still is hers. Personal appeal, congeniality, interests, affection-the final choice is hers alone. And she is happy knowing that her selection will always be welcome in family circles.

Kappa Kappa Gamma believes that its membership selection should be made with just such a broad cooperation and interdependency among its membership. The alumnae are asked to recommend- to offer their maturity, experience and judgment in the initial search for members. It is their privilege to look for those girls in their communities who most nearly measure up to their ideals of Kappa and then to bring these girls to the attention of the chapters.

But the final choice of which of these girls WILL be Kappas belongs to the active chapter.

From the large number recommended to them, they will choose those whose personalities and interests strike a kindred spark in them. The choice is theirs alone but from a large number of recommendations submitted to them. These girls will share their daily lives, their chapter home, their hopes and aspirations. Congeniality and personal appeal are vital. This final choice is made with joy, in the full knowledge that the whole Fraternity will rejoice with them in the claiming of this new member into the sisterhood of Kappa Kappa Gamma.-CATHERINE ALT ScHULTZ, The K ey of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

JEAN WENRICH EXPERIENCES LIFE IN KOREA Bv DoRIS HIPPLE WILLIAMS

ALPHA SIGMAS can be expected to be found One such alumna is J ean doing the unusual.

Smith Wenrich. After graduation from Temple University in 1952, Jean taught English at CollinIn 1956 she dale High School for four years. married Kenneth Wenrich, then acting treasurer of the United Presbyterian Mission in Korea and began three years of unusual experiences.

As honeymooners, Jean and Ken spent a week in Hawaii and a few days in Tokyo before going on Ken had to Korea to begin their work there. already served three years in Korea and was well acquainted, but it was comp letely new to J ean .

As every missionary wife is expected to work , Jean taught English in the Seoul Foreign School.

This is a school sponsored by the Mission and attended by many diplomatic children. Among her pupils Jean had the children of Chinese diplomats, an Italian attache and a Turkish ambassador. Although the classes were in English, the school was called the "Little U " because of the variety of nationalities in attendance.

During the first year Jean a lso taught at Chungsin Girl School. Here the textbooks were written

by Koreans with classes of over seventy meeting for pronunciation and spelling. What an insurmountable task for a teacher! She also tutored the Korean teachers who taught English and a few individu a l students.

The second year found the enrollment up at the Seoul Foreign School as the Army permitted families to join the servicemen, and there were no other schools availab le.

About six months after J ean and Ken arrived in Korea, the barrels with their possessions arrived, o.nly to be short all the drapes (made by J ean's 1 ter. Ruth, a lso a K appa Kappa ), vitam ins, sleepmO' bag , dre ses, a nd more. Pilferings se m common among the e shipments.

Food ~rice were. much hiO'her, and practically Imagine everytlung came m number ten cans. two p ople' eating a can of beans. All the drinkinO' wat r had to be boiled. About seventyfi\'e ar aO'o the missionarie introduced the appl ' hich i now plentiful and often u ed as a breakfa t food. The electricity was pretty standard

- there would be none every Saturday.

There were bars on all the windows of the house because robberies were common-more so in the winter when the robbers were desperate.

Tim e and N ewsweek were very dear to the missionaries as they were the main source of news.

The Christian Radio Station also supplied good muste.

J ean found the weather similar to the Philadelphia area except for more extremes in the seasons.

June is rainy, and July and August are very hot.

In the winter there is more snow, and it is important for cars to have four-wheel drive. Outside the cities, roads are unpaved, and trips were either dusty or muddy.

Even with their many duties Jean and Ken found time to do some traveling. Short trips were made around Seoul. They also managed to vacation on the Yellow Sea, renting a two-bedroom cottage, without electricity, on the beach front for $25 a month. A visit was also made to Japan, and on the trip home Jean and Ken stopped at Hong Kong and Yokohama.

PHI PHI PLEDGE STUDIES ON IMMIGRANT VISA

BY C IC ILY ANN SPICER <}><}>

"To be an Am erican citizen and to live here forever is m y greate t desire" are the thoughts of C hrista ewerla, a Phi Phi pledge.

C HRI S TA NEWERLA

C hrista, who is twenty years old, is from Wilhelm haven, Germany. She is in the United States on an immigrant visa. She is a second-semester fre hman at Northwest Missouri State College in M aryville. She is majoring in French and Spanish.

C hrista became interested in different languages when he erved as an interpreter for her present foster parents who were on tour in Brussels during the World Fair in 1958. At that time she was employed a t a typewriter factory working in the patent office but wasn't satisfied.

U pon the invitation to return with Mr. and Mrs. Clair Becker to Iowa she began the necessary arrangements to obtain a visa. Within eight weeks she left her parents, a n older brother, and two younger isters to come to America and live with the Becker .

C hri ta' preparation for college was quite different from our chooling because a ttending high chool in Germany is quite an honor. At the age of ten the children must enroll in either a middle chool wh ich i for person pl anning to enter

business and is free, or in high school, which is for those planning to attend the university.

To attend high school, the children must be a bove average in intelligence, and their parents must be able to pay their tuition. For the first few weeks of school, entrance tests are given, and for the remainder of the year they are on probation. If a student fails one course throughout the year, he must take every one of the courses over again the next year. If he fails again, he cannot continue but must go back to grade school.

The class which Christa attended was made up of thirty-five or forty girls, all of which were together during their entire high school years.

Classes were held in a single room where the teacher came to lecture. Students were given five minutes between classes to relax. Intelligence tests were given to each class, and from the top ten, five were given scholarships. Christa was one of the recipients of a scholarship which paid for her high school education.

Extra-curricular activities are few in the German schools. There are a few departmental clubs such as drama, fencing, and choir.

From high school the student wishing to become a teacher enrolls at a unive.rsity. For three years he goes through teacher training and observation on the elementary level. He is then free to teach in any elementary school in Germany. After three or four years of teaching experience, he may go back to college for two more years and take up the secondary curriculum, majoring in one field but An average high school having several minors. teacher will receive one thousand marks a month or $250.

Clubs at the universities are far from the Greek life as we know it. Within the clubs they n ever elect a leader or president of the group but merely get together and have informal discussions among themselves. This is one of the many reasons Christa likes being a pledge of Alpha Sigma Alpha. She was used to being around big families in rather small living quarters, and she regards the sorority as one big happy family with everyone's having something in common.

R ecently Christa was awarded a Rotary Schola rSince ship given to foreign exchange students. receiving the scholarship she has spoken to Rotary groups in different communities about her experiences during the war and present life.

ON November 11 a group of Alpha girls gave a party for Bobbi Koons and Dottie Gills, who were starting their nine-week teaching session. Bobbi graduates in February, so the party was also a farewell dinner for her.

Founders' Day was celebrated with a banquet on November 15. The banquet was held in the College Tea Room. Members of the administration of Longwood College and our alumnae were guests.

To bolster our treasury, we held a rummage sale on November 19. During the summer the members had collected clothing and jewelry for the sale.

Alpha Chapter is entering the Phillip Morris Cigarette Contest. We are busy collecting and tearing empty Alpine, Marlboro, and Parliament packs and placing them in groups of fifty. Should we win, our sorority room will have a new Hi-Fi set.

Ann Howell, our treasurer, was tapped by Alpha Kappa Gamma, national leadership honorary. Cherry Gorham, Bobbi Koons, and Page Davis are new members of Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges. -MARY BETH OLsON .

WrTH the opening of school Alpha Beta Chapter once again assumed its roll as a leader in campus activity.

Sharon Simmons and Mary Ellen Graves were selected as cheerleaders. The K-Dettes, a drill team which performs at all home athletic activities, is composed largely of Alpha Betas. Three of its four officers are Alpha Sigmas. Karen Klingensmith, council-woman-at-large, represents the entire school on the student government.

We are happy to have with us this year Sharon Randall, who was a member of Beta Kappa and has transferred to Northeas tern Missouri State T eachers.

Rush be?an on O ctober I with our first party, "An Afternoon m Alpha Traz." Forty-five guests enjoyed the decorations, favors, refreshments, and entertainment based on a satire of prison life. An Oriental atmosphere, "Teahouse of the Alpha Moon," was th e th eme of our final rush party. Wh en "Silent Sunday" was over and the rushees indicated ,their sorority choices on Monday, Alpha Beta had ,filled its quota with twenty wond erful girls.

Alpha Beta sponsored Karen Klingensmith as its candidate for homecoming queen. Our float was entered in the surprise category of the contest and illustrated the slogan, "We've Got the Coach, We've Got the Team," with a team of Shetland ponies and a stagecoach constructed of papier-m ache on a wagon bed. Following the afternoon football game, ·the Kirksvill e Alumnae Chapter gave its annual Coke-tail party a,t the home of Mrs. Morris Thompson.- MARTHA THOMPSO N.

Alpha Alpha Miami University THROUGH the rainy streets of Oxford chugged "The Little Engine That Could," the homecoming flo a t which we made with tthe help of members of Pi Beta Phi. Although we didn't receive the winning trophy, all of us who helped create the float agreed that it was a firstrate masterpiece.

In October the pledges entertained the members with a Hallowe'en party in the suite. The theme, "Casper's Copa Cabana," was carried to its full effect by th e unusual costumes everyone wore. Games, entertainment, and refreshments of cider a nd dou ghnuts were the features of the evening.

Before our annual P anhellenic Dance on November 5, we enjoyed a pleasant social hour in the sujte with our dates. Dainty hors d'oeuvres and colorful punch, served by the Open House committee chairmen, Donna Mounts and M ary Macklin, from 'a beautifully arranged table, added to ,the formal atmosphere.

As Sat urd ay, Novemb er 12, marked th e last hom e football game of the year, it was celebrated, in keeping with tra dition, with Dad's D ay on cam pus. Many A~A dads joined th e hundreds of fath ers who flood ed the campus. In order to entertain our fathers an d to show them we really love them and appreciate all they do for us, we gave a luncheo n-banqu et for them in a nearby hotel. After eating a delicious meal, we gave a serenade of our favorite sorority songs. This proved so successful that we are hoping to m ake the affair an annual event.

On November 15 we held our Founders' Day Banquet in the banquet rooms of the University Center. At the banquet we announced who our little sisters were.

Cheryl Harless was recently initiated into Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary.-}EAN REAM.

Alpha Gamma Indiana (Pennsylvania) State Teachers College ALPHA GAMMA chose "First Thanksgiving" as its theme for this year's homecoming float. We used gold and brown crepe paper on the cornucopia and had various colors of crepe paper on the fruit Rowing from the mouth. In front of ,the cornucopia stood a Pilgrim man, wom a n, child, a nd an Indian, and a thatched hut whi ch led to th e authenticity of th e theme. We rode in fiv e red and white convertibl es in the parade. Diane Elefante was chosen as second-runner-up in the Queen's Court. K ath D ay was chairman of the float committee.

In the afternoon we had a Homecoming T ea in the sorority room. Our guests were our parents, a lumnae, and friends . R achel Foster was chairman for the tea.

Soon after Homecom ing we started working on our songs for Greek Sing. We sang "Alpha Sigma Sweetheart" an d "C lap Yo' Hands" und er the direct ion of J a ne Affalter. For this number we used white gloves with red palms for tricky hand motions. It proved very effective.

Our Fall Pledge Dance was h eld at the Elks on November 12. The th eme of the dance was "Alpha Sigma Schoolhouse" with the pledges in charge. The ·th eme centered a round the cherry-stai ned paddles we gave our da tes as favors. The pledges made th e programs from red paper in the form of a schoolhouse. For table d ecorations they used little pipe-cleaner teachers and students. They presented a " lesson" for entertainment.

On Sunday, November 13. we had a tea in the sorority room in celebration of Founders' Day. Joy Doverskike, our president and Mary Kay Collier, our past president, presented th~ Founders' Day program.

FALL QUARTER was a flurry of act1v1ty, fun , and hard work for the Beta Betas. The week of October 3 was the annual Interfraternity Counci l-Panhelleni c Greek week ending with the Greek Ball on Friday night where our own Karen Hein was crowned "Miss Sorority" by another Alpha Sigma, Dottie Haug. The next day was Greek Fun Day with a barbecue and "just for fun" contests. The Alpha Sigma turtle, Boogie Bear, won the turtle race. J an Ruf was the co-chairman of this year's \·ery successfu l Greek Week activities.

Open House the following week began Fall Rush and was the first party of rush . Our other parties were both new themes: " South of the Border" for the second and '·Hawaiian" for the last one. The Beta Betas received six pledges.

O ctober 21-22 was homecoming week end, and it was a busy one and C.E.A. vacation time for the Alpha Sigmas. "Happy Holidays" was the theme, and Beta Beta chose Hallowe'en fo1· its holiday ; a \·ery large pwmpkin which covered the front of our two-story house carried out the Beta Beta holiday. Sue Megill was a very happy Alpha Sigma Homecoming-Queen Candidate.

The I. K. Carnival on O otober 29 found the Beta Betas busily setting up a gambling booth where all sorts of coolie ha ts were won. The theme of the Carnival was " Stop-Over Hong Kong." This is an annual event for the Intercollegiate Knights, and everyone has a lot of fun after working to set up the booths .

One highlight in fa ll quarter for the Beta Beta Alpha Sigmas may well be their own Sadie Hawkins Dance, whi ch was given on November 5. All proceeds from the sale of dance bids go to the United Campus Chest Fund.

This is a big chan ce for the women of the campus because this dance is a "girls-ask-boys" affair, and every-

THERE were many sighs of disappointment this year as another rainy Homecoming at Emporia on October 29 came and went. Three weeks before "the day" all Alpha Sigmas gave all their free time and ceaseless energy to work on the traditional house decorations. The theme was based on superstitions in conj unction with Curli-Q, •the annual scholarship variety show whose theme was "Lucky 13" designating its thirteenth year. Our theme was "Overtower the Voodoo Power." Kaye Johnson was an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. Epsilon Epsilons were hostesses at a buffet supper honoring their alumnae.

Several Epsilon Epsilons busily stuff the tiger for Homecoming.

The annual mum sale was a tremendous success. A g rand •total of 1,080 mums sold topped any sales in previous years. It appears that the early-morning rise at five o'clock in order to get the Rowers decorated with black and go ld bows, sacked, and delivered was very much worthwhile.

Th e pledge class gave the members an informal party entitled "Blackboard Jungle" on October 15. The members and their dates dressed in black leather jackets and blue jeans to carry out the hoodlum theme. The entertainment was given in a classroom setting with the pledges acting as students.

The sorority took part in a leadership clinic sponsored

by Xi Phi, leadership honorary, ovember 11 by sending the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and social chairman to the meetings.

The Emporia Alumnae Chapter gave a banquet for the members and pledges on ovember 14 to celebrate Founders' Day. The dinner was a day early so there would be no conflict with the regular Tuesday night

meeting.

The Alpha Sigmas continue to capture honors on ESta te campus as times goes on .

Kaye Johnson was initiated into Xi Phi, leadership honorary. Jean Billing was elected vice-president of Alpha Beta, women's physical education honorary.

Doris Drehle is a new initia te of Pi Omega Pi, business honorary, and Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary.

Janice Bonewitz was e lected to be one of the two presidents of the Social Loretta Ehlers was also initiated into Science Club.

Zeta Zeta Central Missouri State College AGAIN Zeta Zeta is busy as ever, yet relieved tha t Homecoming is over. We presented Linda Silver, our ca ndidate for queen, in a convo theme based on the then forthcoming election and were proud to have her represent us as princess in the homecoming festivities.

Our float, based on the theme of "Can Can" with real cancan girls, received honorable mention. We were the only sorority to place in the top five, so we are still congratulating one another on our carpentry skill. FoJ.lowing the parade, our annual Alumnae Brunch was a success as we greeted many old friends.

Soon after Homecoming we found ourselves selling Cemosts, a publication of the English department, as a school-service project. Now we are in ;the midst of planning our Founders' Day Banquet, the coming rush (ten ta<tive theme-oriental ) , our Sweetheart Formal , and selling date books as one of our annual money-making projects. One Sunday night we also had a sandwich sale in the dorms, selling sandwiches, cookies, and fruit, and it was a big success. This practice of sales is now being used by other sororities a lso a nd was initia ted by our last year's pledge class.- VICKI ADAMS .

an enjoyable evening. We were very happy to fi~d th~t we had five new pledges. This makes a total of thuty-slX pledges which we have received this semester.

Following the pledge service on ovember 15, we had our Founders' Day program. The members of the Pittsburg Alumnae Chapter were with us to celebmte this occasion, and th e fall pledges presented the program.

Susan Austin was the only Greek candidate to be elected â&#x20AC;˘to an office in the freshman dorm. Susan's office is president.

The All-Greek Ball was September 30. The theme was " The Roaring Twenties," and everyone wore a twenties' costume. Everyone had lots of laughs and fun. Susan Austin's clever costume won first prize.-KARIN SHEARBURN .

Kappa Kappa Temple University A COLD RAIN m et the floats in the annual Homecoming Parade this year. Although Kappa Kappa has won first place for the past two years, the competition was extra close this year, and we relinquished the honor to another group. Our float, "Drexel's Midnight Retreat," was a large fram e pumpkin covered with fluffy paper napkins that were sprayed a bright orange. Th e whole float was pulled by six cute Kappa Kappa mice.

Rushing season ended with a real victory for Kappa Kappa Chapter.

We now have thirteen enthusiastic pledges sporting red suspenders and sneakers.

Founders' Day was an extra-special occasion this year, too. We had a meeting with our mother-patronesses who were inducted last year, and we held another ceremony to add new mothers to our group. Refreshments were served afterwards, and we are all looking forward to more meetings with our interested mothers.

The hockey team, which is composed of quite a few of our K a ppa Kappa girls, came through wi.th another undefeat ed season. Bringing specific honor to our sorority were Mary Ann Leight and Tiz Martin who placed on th e All-College first team and Joan McConaghie who placed on th e second team.

We decorated using a night-club theme, and everyone sipped coke-tails as they watched a floor show presented by the Raggedy A~As, Rosie 'Morris, Brenda Meador, and Emma Turner, who entertained us with their version of several songs.

We planned our last rush party on the serious side.

We presented a moving program emphasizing our symbols, the Star and Crown of A~A. We entered with the other Greek organizations into the competition of house decorations with the theme.

"We're Expeoting Victory. " We had a paper napkin stork holding a diaper and a football in his beak. The week before the homecoming game found Rho Rhos frantically stuffing paper napkins into chicken wire. After many setbacks and heartbreaks, we finally managed to set our bird up in our front yard gaily toting his "bundle of joy."

Our first informal, "Spook's Bar-B-Q," was held at Lenore Crabtree's home. We danced on the patio amid smiling jack-o-lanterns, black cats, and witches. After the party we all piled into a haywagon and had a merry ride to the nearby 4-H camp.

Two girls were dressed in large billowing skirts mad e of leaves. Two small elves dressed in green and brown were painting the skirts of th e g irls.

A rotating flash camera rtaking pictures of football players and cheerleaders topped off with a press hat covering the cab of our float carried the theme, "Flash Down the Field and Press for Victory." Following the parade and football game, members, alumnae, friends, and families gathered in the suite for icy punch, frosted cookies, and homemade reminiscing.

"Suite Surprise" was the name the spring pledges picked for th e party they gave the actives just before they were initiated October 23. The surprise was a Merle Norman demonstration, and the reward to all those who could not guess was cokes and potato chips.

We have tried this idea twice and have discussed "The Place of Educated Women in Society" and "The Political Platforms on Education."

This activity has been intellectually stimula ting and socially rewarding.

Ball State observed Greek Week from November 7 to 12. Many Chi Chis participated in activities such as park clean-up campaigns, workshops discussing fraterni.ty problems, the Greek Banquet, a nd the Greek Night Dance.

Founders' D ay was celebrated with the Muncie Alumnae Chapter which furnish ed refreshments for everyone after the ceremony.

A record hop is being planned for our first moneymaking project this year. Later we plan to have a rummage sale and another record hop.

Rush teas are coming up very soon. Roberta Paul, rush chairman, and Luanne Schooley, membership director, have been planning for this event wi·th a rush workshop and many committee meetings. For the first teas, we shall wear red skirts, matching collarless blazers, and white blouses with small shawl collars.

surprises and then watching them try to find out who sent it.

November 12 was Northwestern's Homecoming. Alpha Sigma and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity built a float together which placed second in the parade. After the game we had a reception for our alumnae at the sorority house.

Beta Gamma Northeastern State College ALL the hard work on the float for Homecoming ended in .success, as the Alpha Sigmas took second place in the beauty division. The theme of the parade was TV shows, and we chose "The Alaskans." Three huskies, made of wire and stuffed with paper napkins, sat on the float.
