The President's Message Founders' Day

1972 What are the subjects under greatest discussion today among Alpha Sigs-their contemporaries, their alumnae, their professors, their parents? What exactly are the subjects of discussion in 1972-1973? A focus on Nature is certainly one, with new fields of pollution, ecology, and nutrition (health foods) developing, not to mention a return to simple living, preserving wild life species, the serene joy of Nature's unspoiled beauty. Another subject for discussion concerns work modes-new management-union relations, materialism, creativity, doing your "own thing," and achieving power and status. Consumer policies now demand posted "base prices" and "consumer averaging," closer controls on false packaging, advertising, and product ingredients. Politicians promise more rights, freedoms, added respect for individuals and desires for national introspects. Youth crave love, truth, peace, a return to traditions, ideals, and symbolism.

Religion runs the gamut of Jesus Freaks to a return to the practices and beliefs of early Christianity.

It seems as though , when applied, these subjects lead us to new patterns for education and living. New in that they are new to those now advocating them, but not so new when carefully 路 studied. Challenges to life and living are the stimulus for finding oneself. The young today take up this challenge in order to protect the history and customs handed down to them from the past. The retention of rituals, traditions and symbolism is one of the treasures of our sisterhood. Our sisterhood, like that of all the Greeks, has been questioned, criticized, changed, broadened, and loved by many. To quote a statement in Fraternity Month, "Knocking sorority is fashionable these days, but that only puts us with some of the best company- God and the churches, the university and even the so-called system . It is much more difficult to commit oneself to a group of people of one's own choosing in order to create and mold a single piece of that new and better world we hope to have. The key, of course is commitment and work, not isolation and destruction. To be effective, the commitment must be genuine and sincere, the work long and arduous. The fruits of such a commitment can be very sweet."

Alpha Sigma Alpha thinks it has not only something physical to offer, that of a highly sophisticated, nationally respected organization, but something mental to offer, seventy-one years of ideals, ambitions, love, tradition, outstanding service and those beautiful years of heritage .

All these have been offered to you for the taking, when you chose to become a member of the sorority. In turn, you as a fully initiated member, either protected them to see that they grew and became more meaningful, sat back and just accepted them, or in some cases became apathetic and renounced your pride in membership.

I would hope that most of you nurtured your sorority ideals: "To fill my days with satisfying activity, To find dominant beauty in art, literature, nature and friendships, To know the peace and serenity of a Divine faith, To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good-."

So at this time of year, when we celebrate our founding, November 15, 1901 , let us all fill ourselves with a sense of respect of the past, an inspiration for the future , and an awareness of the times, and our role as a contemporary of the times.

A Story Jane Shaffer Peters A r , Central Pennsylvania Alumnae Chapter's delegate, found the sunshine and warm temperatures of Springfield, Missouri, during Convention a delightful change from the two months of rain that plagued the east coast only to culminate in the "Great Flood."

So it was with some reluctance that Jane packed her bags the day after Convention to return to her home in flood-stricken Harrisburg. But fate was determined to make it as difficult for her as possible!

Tornado warnings, high winds and torrential rain caused an electrical fa ilure at Woods House, where Convention delegates had been housed, on the morning Jane was t.o leave Springfield. Everyone was accounted for during the power blackoutexcept Jane, who was stuck in the elevator between the second and third floors. Not one to panic, she managed to pry open the elevator doors and jump down to safety.

By noon the storm had subsided, flights from the Springfield airport resumed, and Jane was on her way back to Pennsylvania.

But, because the Harrisburg airport is in the then-flooded Susquehanna River Basin, FALL 1972

her flight had to be re-routed to Philadelphia. Renting a car from Hertz or Avis for the two-hour drive to Harrisburg proved to be impossible. One company said that they had a number of cars not yet returned because of the flood and the other stated that their company would not risk sending cars into the badly flooded Harrisburg area. Dejectedly, Jane wondered if she would ever get home from Convention.

Two Red Cross workers, however, happened to overhear Jane's conversation with the car rental companies and offered her a ride to Harrisburg, their destination, also.

Once again, Jane was on her way home.

Skimming along the Schuylkill Expressway, one of Jane's new companions asked where her flight had originated. Upon explaining that she was returning from a convention in Missouri, one of the women exclaimed, "Oh, that must have been the Alpha Sig Convention!" Jane was amazed to discover that this Red Cross social worker was Alpha Sig Leona Fredericks, a member of the Boston Alumnae Chapter.

Leona and her co-worker, Mona Berch, had been sent from Boston to Harrisburg to aid the flood victims.

Arriving in Harrisburg, Leona and Mona discovered that lodging provisions had not yet been made for them, so Jane welcomed them into the Peters' home (although they all had to manage with a limited water supply borrowed from a neighboring community).

Jane says, "To the end of that wonderful Convention experience, it h ad b een A"2.A all the way!"

Elizabeth Bird Small Award

Alpha Sigma Alpha's highest collegiate honor, the Elizabeth Bird Small Award, is presented this year to Silvana F. R ichardson, Gamma Lambda Chapter, Loyola University.

A Dean's List student, Silvana received her degree in nursing this past spring. She is a member of Circumference, Loyola's Women's Honor Society, and Sigma Theta Tau, a national nursing honorary. She received several scholarships for undergraduate study.

Silvana has been active on campus as Judiciary Board representative for her dorm, co-chairman of Loyola's Biafra Relief Fund Drive, a member of the Dean's Advisory Council, student representative to the Nursing Curriculum Revision Committee, and a member of the Loyola Recycling Program. She won recognition as a campus leader by receiving an invitation to Loyola's President's Ball and Blue Key Fraternity Formal.

Sil vana F. R ichardson

The community has benefited from Silvana's volunteer work at a local orphanage and at the Chicago Board of Health. She organized a Drug Abuse Education Seminar for a local grammar school, organized publicity for the community education program on Cancer Prevention in Women, presented a workshop on First Aid during a student strike, served on a committee which presented a community Health Care Seminar, and participated in the research and survey of Uptown area health care facilities.

Despite her many other activities, Silvana has always been an active member of Gamma Lambda Chapter, serving as recording secretary, vice president and president. As vice president, Silvana wotked to reestablish long neglected relations with Chicago alumnae. By means of regular correspondence and personal meetings with the various alum chapters, communication lines were again opened, paving the way for joint activities. Through her enthusiasm Gamma Lambda has come to realize that sorority membership is a life-long commitment. Of her, her chapter wrote, "In May, 1971 , Gamma Lambda Chapter was disintegrating from lack of spirit and dedicated cooperation among its members.

At that time our chief executive resigned and, as vice president, Silvana assumed the responsibilities of the presidency. Through her optimism FALL 1972

and encouragement, Gamma Lambda recognized its potential for change and began its work.

We became more involved in campus activities such as organizing and running Orientation Week for the university. Under her direction our chapter discussed and voted to readopt use of the national rating and voting procedure for rushees, of the Housing Fund and of a nominating committee for chapter officer election. Such changes can only occur where free and honest discussion exists and Silvana's open and unbiased attitude as presiding officer at a meeting created an atmosphere which encouraged each member to express freely her ideas and opinions and to receive honest feedback. " The Elizabeth Bird Small Award nomination form asks each chapter how their candidate reflects "graciousness in daily living." Gamma Lambda wrote, "Graciousness should encompass all facets of one's person: one must be warm, friendly, confident, able to speak intelligently and act with integrity, and above all, be concerned and interested in others. In our estimation, Silvana is such a person who loves life and people, believing that each new experience or person she encounters can add new dimensions and growth potential both to her inner self and to life in general."

Bernie was appointed Chaplain of her pledge class and each week searched for inspirational and morale boosting messages to deliver to her pledge sisters. She demonstrated her ability to work with the pledge group by devoting much of her time to work on the pledge project, a very large and beautiful plaque depicting respective chapter "families." A traditional Easter-time activity at Gamma Omicron is for the active members to fill baskets with warm wishes of welcome for the pledges. This year the actives were all very suprised to find thank you notes at their doors two days later. Bernie had personally written a reply to each sister.

When the meeting reconvened after a short recess, Joan Maresca, Houston Alumnae Chapter, gave the "Five Minute Chat" which was presented to the Houston City Panhellenic by the Associate Dean of Women at the University of Houston. The assembly then broke into four discussion groups.

After the discussion ended, a representative from each group gave a synopsis of the discussion. Those attending decided to write a resolution to be presented to National Council and the National Panhellenic Conference in regard to deferred rushing since it was felt that preschool rushing hurts the sorority as well as the rushee.

A delightful luncheon featured centerpieces made by the Dallas alumnae. Guest speaker for the Day was Elsa Roseborough, well known local actress and model and an instructor for 25 years at the University of Houston. Her topic was "Building A New You" and everyone felt rejuvenated in attitudes and outlook after her talk.

Sixth Illinois Chapter Installed Delta Theta Chapter Southern Illinois University A steady drizzle greeted the members of the Installation Team as they arrived in Carbondale on May 13 to install Delta Theta Chapter at Southern Illinois University.

The weekend of festivities climaxed a year of preparation which began in the spring of 1971 when Mrs. George G. Gatseos, National Vice President of Development, established a colony on the campus.

Installation weekend began after much preliminary planning, carried out under the direction of Miss Barbara Johnston, Field Representative. At the Get Acquainted Party held Friday evening, the Delta Thetas greeted collegiate members from Beta Nu, Murray State University, Gamma Omega, Eastern Illinois University, and Gamma Lambda, Loyol a University. The Installing Team, which included Mrs. Gatseos, Mrs. Stewart W. Koenemann, National Treasurer, Mrs. Dennis P. White, National Chairman of Colonies, Miss Mary Jedrzejewski and Miss Johnston, Field Representatives, received a warm, enthusiastic welcome. Four members of Delta Eta Chap ter, DePaul University, arrived early the next morning after driving all night.

Mrs. Nancy Harris, Panhellenic Adviser, gave a brief word of welcome and then gifts from the National Council, collegiate and alumnae chapters were presented. Retiring president Sue Schwartz and president-elect Lucinda Harms had the pleasure of opening the gifts.

That afternoon a reception honoring the new chapter was held at 101 Small Group Housing, Delta Theta's chapter house. Welcoming the chapter were representatives from other sororities and fraternities, campus organizations, faculty members, parents, and visiting Alpha Sigma Alpha collegians and alumnae. Miss Julie lllner and Mrs. Barbara Brown, Delta Theta advisers, assisted in greeting the guests. The house was filled with beautiful flowers from well-wishers and numerous cards and letters from Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters were displayed on red ribbons.

Alpha Sigma Alpha was most honored to have Dean William Travelstead of Southern Illinois University speak to the new members, their parents, honored faculty guests, and visiting collegians and alumnae. Dean Travelstead stressed the importance of individuals and their affiliation with groups and communities of other individuals. Today's complex university student must be a mentally healthy individual that needs to affiliate with groups to enhance his positive personality. He felt that Greek organizations could offer this opportunity if they focus on important and pertinent issues and not just shallow social activities.

Following Dean Travelstead's thought-provoking address, the members of Delta Theta Chapter were individually introduced and presented with memento gifts by Mrs. Dennis White, Installing Officer. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Delta Theta Charter to Miss Sue Schwartz by Mrs. Gatseos.

Installation weekend ended Sunday morning with a worship service and brunch which the initiates attended with their parents and the Carbondale alums. The National Officers and Field Representatives were unable to remain due to travel arrangements.

Delaware Welcomes Alpha Sigma Alpha Delta Iota Chapter Installed University of Delaware Delta Iota Chapter began as Sigma Rho, a local sorority founded in February, 1969 by 18 young women who were dedicated to promoting friendship within their own sorority as well as with other sororities and to attaining strong bonds of sisterhood. The group recognized that the goals of the sorority should be in harmony with the goals of the University concerning academic, social and service pursuits.

In the fall of 1970, the women of Sigma Rho began seeking national affiliation. After a visit from Mrs. George D. Linton, Alpha Sigma Alpha National President, Sigma Rho petitioned Alpha Sigma Alpha for membership in May, 1971.

Through mutual interest and respect, the petition was accepted by the National Council and Mi s Sally Ward, Field Representative, officially pledged the colony on October 26, 1971.

Weeks of planning, work and anticipation culminated with the arrival of Miss Ward in April, 1972, to assist the members in making final preparations for their Installation Weekend.

The festivities began Friday, April 21, with an informal party at the Kirkwood Room of the Student Center. The excitement mounted as the chapter members prepared to greet Mrs. George D. Linton, National President, Mrs. George G. Gatseos, National Vice Pre ident of Development, and Mrs. \IV. Stanton May, Province III Director, who arrived to join Miss Ward as members of the Installing Team. Dean Kitty Bieber, Faculty Advisor, and members of the Wilmington, Delaware, Alumnae Chapter were on hand to join the fun and to meet the representatives of the National Council.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor Rain, nor More Rain could dampen the spirits of the Delta Iotas and Installation Team as the Delaware skies opened on Saturday morning and torrents of rain fell! Umbrellas, raincoats and boots were put to good use as members hurried into the Student Center for formal Initiation and Installation services which were held in the Faculty Lounge.

The Field Reps Are Coming Gamma Lambda sent one traveler most dear, While Beta Lambda sent the other one here.

One is Deb Bukas, the other is Pyle, They both came to Springfield wearing a smile.

Pyle's realm was lofty and noble mathematics, And Deb held herself among the English fanatics.

It' was early in August when we both arrived, Neither of us knowing if we'd ever survive.

Ready and waiting to find out what's next, And soon we discovered .. . another text!

A knowledge of members and letters and forms, Was added to knowledge of houses and dorms.

We audited books and learned about chapters, But nothing prevented our cooking disasters.

by Diana Pyle and Debbie Bukas

Exciting adventures for us await, And eagerly we will participate.

Read on all Alphas and you shall hear The story of your Field Reps for this year.

New Orleans, Denver, and New York, too, And soon we will be meeting you .

One came from the north, Chicago her space, And once from the south, Arkansas her place.

At last we are ready to go on our way, To meet Alpha Sigs each and every day.

collegiate news Alpha Longwood College Farmville, Virginia Alphas returned to Longwood on the first of February to begin a new and exciting semester. Open bidding was the most important concern for us. After a doughnut and hot chocolate informal rush party, we were proud to bid and receive our new pledges. These spring pledges and the fall pledge class combined to present the annual p ledge party. This year "Alpha Scouts" was the theme of the party. After favors were given and supper served, the members watched the pledges grow from Alpha brownies to Alpha scouts!

In March Barbara Johnston, Field R epresentative, returned to share a week of learni ng and working together.

Then with spring break upon us, many of the members prepared for their Florida trip. It proved to be a successfu l ventue of a week of sun and fun.

After returning from vacation, the R oyal Kings were on our minds as we got ready for the annual formal dance. The formal was a grand affair for all as we danced and enjoyed the food and bar catered by Slater.

T o make the weekend complete, there was a picnic held on Sunday afternoon in the state park. It was a joy to welcome back so many a lumnae for the occasion. T o close out the month, Alphas held the Mother Patroness ceremony; we were excited to welcome our families and see twelve mothers receive pins. The event terminated with a Fifties skit and the serving of refreshments.

Second semester would not be complete without State Day. This year the Beta Epsilons hosted the gathering

Excitement was the Alpha feeling after initiation

and again we enjoyed meeting with A'LAs across the state. The culminating activity of the year was our Senior Send-off. The juniors really hammed it up in their imitation of the senior members. The seniors, a long with those girls who will not be returning next year, were then presented with monogrammed pewter mugs.

During the semester, Alphas had a bake sale at Hampden-Sydney and a car wash where the cars were not the only things to get wet! We also redecorated the k~tchen, and made redecoration plans for the chapter room. For the first time, we presented an outstanding member award. This year congratulations go to Bruce Daugherty as recipient of the newly established award.JANELLE JUDY

Alpha Alpha Miami University Oxford, Ohio Winter quarter began for the Alpha Alphas with a Diet Workshop to take off those extra pounds gained over the long Christmas break. Nightly exercise sessions were begun, and the suite was well-stocked with low calorie snacks.

But diets were momentarily forgotten as members treated winter rushees to a dinner uptown. Initiation ceremonies were held for the fall pledge class. A scholarship banquet followed, at which Tobi Kipp and Linda Speir received the scholarship trophy for having the highest quarter averages. J oyce Diller received the D og Award for unsung sorority service, and Peggy Seiler was honored with the Circle Pin for campus and sorority service.

One of the big events of the quarter was a "western" theme party held with another sorority and two fraternities. Good music and refreshments helped warm up a cold night, and many new friendships were made. Social activities continued as the Alpha Alphas enjoyed gettogether with both the Delta Tau Delta and Chi Phi fraternities.

Once again spring began with State Day, held this year in Columbus. Alpha Alphas had an enjoyable time sharing ideas and plans with alumnae members and listening to an interesting speaker from Ohio State University. Two Alpha Alphas very active in campus activities, Maureen Kemper and Peggy Seiler, received the Outstanding Juni or Award from the Dayton alumnae.

After a delicious luncheon, all joined together to sing some favorite sorority songs .

Diets were again forgotten as Alpha Alphas joined with the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity in preparing a delicious spaghetti dinner. This was followed by an enjoyable dance and party.

THE PHOENIX

Alpha Alphas then participated in informal spring rush with such events as a bowling party and a charades party. Initiation was held, and at the scholarship banquest following the initiation ceremonies, Peggy Seiler was honored for having attained the highest average for the winter quarter.

A theme party was held with the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and plans were finalized for our biggest social event of the year-the spring formal. The dinner and dance were held at the beautiful Hueston Woods Lodge with the theme "Cabaret," and all the Alpha Alphas and their dates had a wonderful time.

Many of the members participated in the 25-mile hike for the March of Dimes held in Cincinnati in late spring.

All agreed that the money they raised for this worthy cause more than made up for their sore feet and aching muscles.

Our final fire-up-for-finals party and farewell to the seven graduating seniors was held to end a wonderful year.-CAROL VoNDERHAAR

Alpha Beta Northeast Missouri State University Kirksville, Missouri In early spring Alpha Betas held the annual Study Buddy banquet. This banquet honors those girls who received a higher grade point than their "buddy." Congratulations go to Coni Lewis for the most improved grade point.

Members of Alpha Beta shared an enjoyable evening with the other sororities on campus at a Panhellenic banquet. New Panhellenic officers were installed, and Anne Wilson was presented the Miss Congeniality award for Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Alpha Beta was well represented in beauty pageants this spring. Sharon Norris was a finalist in the Miss Kansas pageant and second runner-up in the Miss Kirksville pageant. Brenda Brosi was also a contestant in the Miss Kirksville pageant. The crowning of a new Miss Kirksville brought to an end the reign of Carolyn Smith, an Alpha Beta.

We are especially proud of J ean Abernathy, who was chosen to reign as the 1972 Drake R elays Queen at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. J ean was selected from twenty girls, each representing a different school.

Early April brought Greek Week and with it came fun and honor. The first event was Greek Sing, where we took second place honors with a spirited song. That same night, Jill Riney was named Greek Queen. In Greek Oly~pics the effort and enthusiasm of the Alpha Betas put us in first place in the tug-of-war, egg and spoon relay, and penny in the flour.

Greek Week activities were further enhanced by our Sweetheart Formal. Red-checked table cloths, black street lamps and paper mache masks created the Mardi Gras-Bourbon Street setting. The highlight of the dance was the naming of Gay Anderson as sweetheart, with Jackie Gill and Pat Goeke as attendants.

Fraternity formals also put Alpha Beta members in positions of honor. Sharon McCollum was chosen Phi Kappa Theta sweetheart. Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Tau Gamma chose Brenda Brosi and Mickey Cook respectively as sweetheart attendants.

Nine of our members were able to attend the 1972 State Day activities of the Gamma Omega Chapter at Eastern Illinois University. Everyone enjoyed the trip.

The spring pledges presented a skit involving twelve members that proved amusing to everyone.

Other activities included participation in two philanthropic projects, the Campus Bowl and a college recruitment program. Elections for student government positions put Jane Gevecker in the treasurer's seat and Jill Riney as a class councilwoman. Jane Gevecker will also be serving as assistant editor of the college yearbook.

Three members were selected for Alpha Phi Sigma, a scholastic and honorary coed organization, as well as three members selected for Cardinal Key, a scholastic and honorary women's organization.

As the year came to a close the Alpha Betas held their annual end-of-the-year picnic. The pledges announced the Best Active Award as going to JoEIIen Boecklemann, and the advisers presented each senior with a gift.

Beta Psi Western Michigan University Kalamazoo , Michigan Rush went well for Beta Psi . We all will remember that fun-filled trip to the Cask Winery in Paw Paw, where we learned about how wine is made and then sampled many different kinds. Then th ere were social, bingo, and bowling parties. Our scavenger hunt touched off a fad for Greeks at Western. What a night that was!

We also remember our very successful alumnae dance in February, when we had a steak dinner that couldn't be bea t! And who could forget Mom's Weekend? H ow exciting to have our great mothers up for a weekend.

The activities for that weekend included a luncheon given by th e Associated Women Students organization, reservations for Alpha Sigs and their moms for dinner, a coffee ge t-together and awards presentation and of course, shopping. That weekend, our mothers realized that A"'i:.A not only mea ns sisterh ood and new friendships for their daughters, but for th em as well.

Our project for the semester, the sponsoring of trips to Nassau and Europe, proved to be a real success, and we now have a very good start on our h ousing fund .

We plan to get that house very soon now !

One of the things we look on with the mos t pride is our bowling team, the Turtles, tha t was newly formed this pas t semester. Organized as a joke, the Turtles ended the semester a very close second in the a ll campus women's competition.

The memory of ca ndl elights always brings tears to our eyes, and those held for M elody Pitt and Cindy Stude were no exception. W e wish th em all the ha ppiness in the world .

The Senior Farewell a nd its ceremonies is a nother memory, only this one leaves us a bit sad. We also will neve r forget our a dviser J oe Parks. Unfortunately, he wi ll be leaving K a lamazoo, but we wi ll a lways remember all the wonderfu l things he did for us and how he was a lways there to talk to, no matter what the problem.BARB BENNETT

Gamma Zeta University of Arkansas College Heig hts , Arkansas Many outstanding activities closed the year for Gamma Zeta Chapter. Leading these activities was the Miss UAM Pageant. T wo of our members who received honors in the contest were Gale Grice, who was chosen

42

second runner-up, and Pam Martindale, who was selected as Miss Congeniality.

Keeping with tradition, the Gamma Zeta pledges, along with the Phi Lamb pledges sponsored a wiener roast for their members. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment that was planned and some that wasn't planned, too!

With the spring formal approaching, it was necessary to launch a fund raising project. We decided to designate a weekend for th is purpose when we would do odd jobs to raise money.

Another yearly event in wh ich we participated was Sadie Hawkins D ay. The Gamma Zetas placed second in the ove rall women's events. The water balloon sale added to the excitement of the other activities.

T he final event of the year was the annual spring formal. Many hours were spent worki ng on decorations which were based on the theme "Evening in Paris." The band, Naked Wi lson, provided music for our festive occasion.-KAY HARROD

Gamma Eta Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania Gamma Eta competed in three annual spring functions. The first of these, in which we placed third, was Sigma C hi D erby D ay. In this activity, eleven sororities competed to obtain as many derbies from the heads of Sigma Chis as they could and to win as many events as possible during the day of fun and games. Another third place was earned in the Phi Psi 500, a contest in which a team of five members chugs beer as quickly as possible. Most of our energies, however, went towards Spring Week. The theme this year was " Generation of the Tube." We worked in conjunction with Sigma Chi and our theme was "Love, American Style." Our efforts won for us first place in attendance._ Gamma Eta adopted the new policy of rushing informally. F or th e most part this meant the lack of formal structured parties scheduled by the Panhellenic C ouncil, and in its place, one-to-one rushing by each member. This means that each girl is responsible for rushing one or m ore rush ees throughout the term . In general, this necessitates a great deal m ore individual responsibility. Pa nhel has also a team of rush councilors who rush for the Greek system rather than for their individual sororities. Informal rush is an effort to make rush less artificial and to enable girls to meet other girls on a less superficial basis.

Sta ndards Board members worked on revising their fun cti on. They decided that, as of fall term 197 2, Stan dards Board will concern itself with appealing to those members whose sense of responsibility and obligation to the sorority has become lax. The members feel that this will take the place of the non-corrective act of fining .

Because sororities must be an integral part of the university community iÂŁ they are to survive, Gamma Eta hopes this fa ll to interact with other sororities and independents. T oo often the social calendar is limi ted to functions with only fraterni ties. This, we feel, is not good. In addition, we hope to plan oth er social activities different from the usual "beer and band."

Sororities must be responsive to the trends if they are to be worthwhile g rou ps, and this is the goal of Gamma Eta for fall ' 72.- BARBARA FARI A

Gamma Omega Eastern Illinois University Charleston, Illinois Spring quarter was indeed the climax of the year for Gamma Omega because weeks of invol ved business dealings were completed. The chapter became the proud owner of a new home at 1616 South 9th Street. The redwood frame house is conveniently located near campus and is in excellent condition. Spring ended with packing and preparations for moving which took place at the end of the summer.

The quarter began when two new people became part of Gamma Omega. Mrs. McBride, our new House 11om, and Miss Victoria LeFevers, our new adviser, have contributed much to the chapter. Mrs. McBride hai ls from Ohio and has served as H ouse Mother for various sororities at the University of Illinois.

Miss LeFevers is from Magnolia, Alabama, and was initiated as our Mother Patroness and presented with a paddle. She disp lays her paddle in her office in E astern's Physical Education D epartment. Our adviser, who recently completed her D octorate, taught P.E. and sometimes rushed for us between classes.

Th e spring formal at the D ecatur Club in D ecatu r, Illinois, was the crowning social event of the season.

Members and dates enjoyed an evening of dinner and dancing. Paula Pawlik, president, served as mistress of ceremonies and presented the chapter awards .

Our past president, T erre Walrod, reaped double honors as she was given the Outstan ding Senior Award and the Frost Fidelity nomination . J an Peter was chosen Ideal Pledge and Chris Benignus was named the E li zabeth Bird Small nominee.

Mrs. J erry Shiverdecker, National Rush Chairman, spoke about contemporary trends in rush and the need for a never-ending rush program. D elegates then divided into groups to discuss rush ideas and problems. Many members commented that they had not reali zed how radicall y different the Greek system is on other campuses.

Another major event of spring quarter was the traditional Greek Wee k. President Paula Pawlik represented us in the Greek Week Queen competition. Gamma Omega's first tug team made its debut at Greek Games. ( The tug event was a first and probably the last because of complain ts from most sororities.) Members slipped an d sloshed their way to a tie for third in the gruelling competition. Maggie Westhoff kept the cadence by p ounding on our steel lad ybug drum with a pipe. Her enthusiasm left a three-i nch dent in the drum.

Gamma Omega tricyclers, obstacle team, skaters, and kite flyers worked together for an exciting day and p laced in several events .

The next day mud-encrusted tee-shirts were exchanged for dresses, bows, and baseball uniforms. Dressed as Charlie Brown and Co., members performed "Happiness Is ... " for Greek Sing. The chapter received many compliments on the performance which was a selection from the musical, "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" and was direc ted by Jane Lister.

Many individua ls distinguished themselves during the year. Meg Becker was presented the Kappa D elta scholarship award for the highest grade point among sorority members. Meg was a lso the president of the English honorary and a Livingston C. Lord scholarship nominee.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Autumn brings the chilly winds And leaves are falling, too.

The season is delightful here And we say, "Hi" to you!

It certainly is beautiful to see the trees showing their new coats of red, orange, yellow, and brown. Autumn reminds us of the warm, wonderful past summer and allows us to prepare for the corning of the snowy, winter wonderland of the future months.

As we look back to our past few events we recall our Flower Arranging Party held on April 13. The arranger delighted everyone with his humor while he skillfully designed six lovely contemporary arrangements. The arrangements were raffled off and a discussion was held in which the designer answered our questions. Rosalind Kulju and Rose Buscaglia were our chairmen for this event.

Each year we look forward to our annual Spring Luncheon. On May 20 we gathered at a quaint restaurant, selected by our chairmen Mary Ellen Randall and Sue Shields, and shared our hopes for the future and our memories of the past. It was a time for saying goodbye and good luck to our past officers and chairmen and to initiate our new leaders. This ceremony is always enlightening and fills us with pride. We also proposed activities that we would like to add to our calendar for the new year. It is so good to see our newest alums sharing laughter and common interes ts with our "more seasoned" sisters.

We would like to especially say so long to Judy Kobee, our past President, and wish her luck in her new horne.

She and her family have moved to New J ersey.

June brought a j oint board meeting and a new board meeting. We planned the events and dates for the corning year. There are so many exciting occurences planned but I will not give you any hints just yet.-LINDY THOMPSON REDMOND

Some of the tidbits of news I gleaned along the way by keeping my ears open were that Mary Beth Evans rH has successfully completed her air course at the American Airlines School in Texas and will soon be "flying American" as a hostess. Kay Deisher Baver Ar recently returned from a trip to J apan. Ginny Hoffman KK and her sister are soon leaving on a twenty-two-day trip to Europe, as is Betty Wilson Rost, although Betty is doing some cruising in foreign waters also. Betty Urban Wallick ZZ and Jane Shaffer Peters Ar represented our alumnae chapter at National Convention. Last, but perhaps the happiest announcement of all is that Gail Bryant Clifford BE and her husband welcomed a brand new baby girl, Jennifer, into their horne. They will be moving into their new home in Reading, Pa. very soon- new horne, new baby, what could be fin er.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN Members of D elta Phi Alumnae Chapter motored through the greening countryside to the home of Sybil Andrews Landry for their May luncheon meeting.

Marion Landy Parker assisted Sybil with the affair which included fifteen chapter members and two guests, Madlyn Sweet McNaughton and Margaret Brown Irwin. Geraniums in an indoor garden flashed · their scarlet in contrast to the darkly framed oils and objets d'art, and a view of the rippling water of Union Lake made this a perfec t setting in which to conduct our business. We decided to continue our present philanthropic project of sending two children to the Michigan Children's Camp for summer vacation. And we decided to make a renewed effort to contact area alumnae for a tea or bridge party in h opes that they might join with us in all our activities.-ESTHER BRYANT SPRAGUE

MUNCIE, INDIANA A busy spring ended the year for the Muncie alums.

Aided by the Anderson alums, we honored eight Chi Chi seniors in February at the lovely home of Virginia Roney R eber. Also in February, we joined the Chi Chis and the Indianapolis alums in the R ogers Hall suite for observance of St. Valentine's Day. New Chi Chi pledges were presented with A'2.A pin-shaped pin cushions at the gathering.

The March meeting at the home of Pat Williams was a work meeting. The evening was spent cutting, pasting, and gluing for State Day. Then April came-and " A'2.A is Tree-mendous," the 197 2 Indiana State D ay at Muncie, came true. Great team effort was responsible for making this a successful and enjoyable day.

May found us making more A'2.A pin-shaped pin cushions- this time for the Convention Boutique. In June Marlene Lipman Colvin hosted the annual picnic for th e Chi Chis in summer school. Our president, Lynn Satterthwaite McCormick, represented us at the A'2.A National Convention.

PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS As the last school days came to an end and the prospects of a warm, relaxing summer drew nearer, the Pine Bluff alums celebrated with a family outing at Peggy and Tommy Heird's summer house on the Arkansas River.

It was great having our husbands and families together with us for a day of swimming, skiing, fishing, and eating!

An other sorority activity which we all enjoyed was a trip to Little Rock with our husbands to attend the Olde West Dinner Theatre. This was really an exciting time for all as we enjoyed a wonderful meal, as well as seeing "The Odd Couple."

Our major money-making project again this year was a rummage sale which was very successful , thanks to the efforts of our president, Beverly Bulloch Farrell, and other members. Our sale was held in May and the proceeds were used to benefit our chapter's philanthropic projects.

Throughout the spring months we were d elighted to welcome several new members-Tonia Brunetti, Melinda Frew, Carol Holland R owe, and Linda H opper W ork.

These girls are all Gamma Zeta alumnae from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. We hope these girls will enjoy our Pine Bluff group as much as we enjoy having 路 them.

For our summer meetings, we p lanned just to have a good time and that is just what we did! Some of the after-meeting activities we enjoyed were bridge games, bingo games, pot-luck dinners and cook-outs.

We hope everyone has had a restful summer and is all " fired up" for Alpha Sigma Alpha now that fall is here.

Some of our members have been busy taking some exciting trips. They have shared their memorable experiences with us at the meetings. Helen Osmun has returned from an African Safari. She encountered many unique and breathtkaing sights. Another member, Helen Cook, has just returned from a three month tour around the world. Her suitcases were fill ed with priceless souveniors and memories. Both Helens relived their trips with pictures and descriptions of their once-in-a-lifetime excursions.

During the year we enjoyed collecting and making items for Lark Lane School for R etarded Child ren. It was a lso a monthly ritual to clip all the store coupons from our newspapers and magazines and present them to the school for their use.

Our next meeting was a salad luncheon. It was held on a Saturday so that the people who work, and live outof-town, could join us. Since there is a new group of graduates, we are looking forward to making a larger circle of alumnae friends. - jANIE UNGER

For example, we visited the home of Diana Ashbaugh, a sister from Bowling Green, who has a very unusual hobby of making gloom chasers (colorful figures made from glass and lead that are usually hung in windows). It was fantastic to see these simple shapes turn into such beautiful figures.

One of our civic minded members, Mary H elen Masters, was the chairman of her church's bazaar which is one of T oledo's largest. She spends many hours throughout the entire year in preparation. Diana set up a dem onstration booth of her gloom chasers. The bazaar was a hit.

In Tribute Louise Neeley Stewart, a much loved and respected past National O fficer, di e d last spring after a long ill ness. The following tribute to Miss Stewart was written by Hilda Baker, Newark-Za nesville Al umnae Chapter.

Louise Stewart was initiated into Upsilon Chapter at Denison University and soon after graduation became interested in working for t he sorority on the Nation a l level. She was a part of the organization in those early days when it was trying to establish its identity in the fraternity world.

Watching the sorority 's growth through the years gave Louise a feeling of deep satisfaction . She often said she knew she had chosen the right sorority. Louise, wherever she might have been , never

54

missed an opportuni t y to promote Alpha Sigma Alpha .

Louise served in several capacities on t he Nationa l level. For many years she was National Historian and, during her years in office, broug ht the history of the sorority up-to-date, a project which resulted in publication of The Years Behind Us, A History of Alpha Sigma Alpha. She also served on the National Ritual committee and helpe d to formulate the ritual now used. Miss Stewart was nominated by the Newark-Zanesville A lumnae Chapter for the Wilma Wilson Sharp Alumna Award.

Enthusiasm, loyalty, and devotion were Louise 's contributions to Alpha Sigma Alpha. In every way she lived up to the creed of her beloved sorority.
