Delta Xi Installation Dallas Baptist College September 19-21, 1975 Delta Xi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was installed on September 20, 1975. The installation activities began on Friday evening with a get-acquainted party at the Student Union Building at Dallas Baptist College. The Delta Xis were joined by collegians from Beta Gamma and Gamma Zeta and alumnae from Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Representing National were MaryAnn Linton, National President; Esther Gatseos, National Vice President of Development; Helen Malone, PC Delegate; Marti Stratton, Province XI Director; and Rhetta Robinson, Province X Director. The evening was spent renewing old friendships and making new ones.

Saturday morning initiation was held at the First Baptist Church-Oak Cliff. The adviser, Dr. Verna Peterson, was initiated with the members and the alumnae. Another initiation service for the pledges followed immediately. The chapter was then installed by MaryAnn Linton. After the installation the members were presented corsages. The Wynne Room in the Sheraton Inn was the setting for the White Luncheon. The speaker at the luncheon was Dr. 'Veldon Thorn, Dean of Students.

With just enough time for a quick change of clothes, we went back to the college for the tea which was held in the Carr P. & Ruth Collins Learning Center. Many parents, friends, faculty members, alums and other sorority and fraternity members were there to welcome the Delta Xis into active membership in Alpha Sigma Alpha. A short tour of the campus followed, and then back to the Sheraton to get ready for the evening festivities.

The formal banquet was held Saturday night at the Sheraton Inn. Robin Robertson, President of the Delta Xi Chapter, was the Toastmistress. After dinner, guests were introduced and the toasts to the new chapter were given. Judy Fite, Gamma Zeta President, gave the toast to Aspire; LaQuita Lehmann, President of Greater Dallas Alumnae Chapter and pledge trainer for the Delta Xi Chapter, gave the toast to Seek; and Rhetta Robinson, Province X J?irector, gave the toast to Attain . The guest speaker was Dr. William E. Thorn, President of Dallas Baptist College. Esther Gatseos introduced the charter members and presented each one with a Phoenix recognition pin. The highlight of the evening came when MaryAnn Linton presented the chapter with their charter. To culminate a perfect day, the chapter was presented with gifts from National, collegians, and alumnae.

Sunday morning a continental breakfast was served at the Sheraton and the girls attended church together. Because of travel arrangements, the National Officers were unable to attend the worship service.

Nita H. Chandler Convention Chairman

Nita Ho dnett Chandler

WINTER 1975- 1976

Convention Chairman Nita Hodnett Chandler BE has her experiences at four previous Conventions to recall as she plans for Alpha Sigma Alpha's Diamond Jubilee Convention. Nita has served as National Constitution Chairman and has held most offices of the Richmond Alumnae Chapter, including that of president twice.

After graduation from Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia, Nita married Wallace Lee Chandler, now senior vice-president of Universal Leaf Tobacco Company, Inc. They are the parents of three daughters: Bettie, Brenda, and Blair. The entire family was present at the recent Dedication of Chandler Hall at Madison College in honor of Mr. Chandler.

Nita has a long list of memberships, offices, and honors in civic, volunteer, and church groups of Richmond, Virginia; and Alpha Sigma Alpha is fortunate to have her dedication to the monumental task of chairing a National Convention.

Karen Crawford and Beth Adams are dressed all in white from head to toe and looking forward to the White Luncheon and the Initiation and Memorial Services.

You will also need appropriate clothes for the Formal Awards Banquet and sports activities, such as golf, tennis, and swimming. A sweater or light jacket will also make the air-conditioning more comfortable.

Cover Picture

Their discussion and brainstorming proved beneficial in increasing awareness on particular issues and in creating a real spirit and enthusiasm for their chapter.

National Panhellenic Conference The forty-fourth session of National Panhellenic Conference was held October 26-29, 1975, at Mountain Shadows, Scottsdale, Arizona. Approximately 153 fraternity women were in attendance at the Conference, Central Office Executives Meeting, and the National Panhellenic Editors Conference.

The following Resolutions were passed: From the Executive Committee: WHEREAS, The 1972 Interim Session by amendment to the By-laws Article V-Sec. !-eliminated "Eligibility and Nationalization" as a Standing Committee, and WHEREAS, This deletion was not reflected in By-laws Article V-Sec. 2, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That Article 1-Sec. 2(a) be amended by deleting the words "Committee on Eligibility and Nationalization of Social Groups" and substituting in lieu thereof "Executive Committee."

From Alpha Phi: WHEREAS, according to the Unanimous Agreements concerning the jurisdiction of a College Panhellenic Council, no action may be taken wh ich "infringes on the sovereignty, rights, or privileges of the individual fraternities," and WHEREAS, bidding members is a right upon which our existence depends, and WHEREAS, MEMBER GROUPS OF National Panhellenic Conference have, through past resolutions, endorsed the use of continuous open bidding, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the College Panhellenics Agreement be amended by adding to the existing Section 1 "Establishment and Regulation of College Panhellenic" and to paragraph d. the following sentence: "Except during formal rush, Panhellenic rushing rules shall not deny any chapter the right to continuous open bidding during the regular school year, if the chapter has not reached its total allowable size."

From Kappa Kappa Gamma: For the purpose of clarification and to stop the trend to impose excessive penalties (College Panhellenics), Kappa Kappa Gamma offers the following amendment to Section 4. Penalties, Unanimous Agreements of National Panhellenic Conference, page 30 of the Manual of Information, Ninth Edition.

To insert after 4. Penalties, the following section c.

"The duration of any penalty imposed by a College Panhellenic shall not extend beyond the school year in which it was imposed."

From the Extension Committee: WHEREAS, many campuses which have not previously favored the establishment of women's fraternities are now open for extension; and often more colonies are established on these campuses than the enrollment can support; and WHEREAS, the administrations of many schools decline to serve in a supervisory capacity for such

s

groups or to exercise any control over expansion; and the National Panhellenic Conference has no procedures for establishing a College Panhellenic until after two chapters have been installed, and WHEREAS, all National Panhellenic Conference groups desire to maintain the integrity annd dignity of National Panhellenic Conference and to uphold the Unanimous Agreements, THEREFORE, be it resolved on campuses where the College Administration shows no interest in exercising any responsibility for the establishment of national fraternities, the following procedures shall be used as a pilot program to be reviewed at the 1977 biennial meeting of National Panhellenic Conference: 1. Before any colonization a letter of intent of colonization should be sent to the university administration and a certified copy (with return card ) sent to the Chairman 'of Extension, who gives automatic permission to the first group to colonize.

2. The Chairman of Extension immediately notifies all other members of National Panhellenic Conference at their Central Offices that this campus is open. Any fraternity may then file a certified copy (with return card) of its letter of intent to colonize with the Chairman of Extension. Said letters shall be placed in the order of their certification date.

3. Upon receipt of these certified letters the Chairman of the Extension Committee will notify the next two applicants that they may colonize. Within thirty days the Chairman of the Extension Committee shall notify all groups who have filed a letter of the order in which the letters were filed .

Any notification of disinterest in colonization by a fraternity automatically promotes the next applicant.

4. After three fraternities have established colonies, an automatic moratorium shall be in effect for one year, and notification of this moratorium shall be sent to all Conference member fraternities by the Extension Comm1ttee. The moratorium is subject to review and action by the Extension Committee within the year.

5. At the expiration of the moratorium any decisions in extension shall be made by the College Panhellenic according to its Constitution and By-Laws.

From the College Panhellenics Committee: WHEREAS, the College Panhellenics Committee was created for the purpose of advising and assisting College Panhellenics; and WHEREAS, a two-year lapse between meetings limits the exchange of ideas and the consideration of the problems that arise; and WHEREAS, the membership of the committee changes frequently and new members need training; RESOLVED, That the College Panhellenics Committee be authorized to hold interim meetings of the Committee.

From the City Panhellenics Committee: WHEREAS, In current language usage the word "city" generally is understood to indicate a specific geographical entity, and WHEREAS, The name "City Panhellenic" has become

THE PHOENIX

an increasingly inappropriate designation as the membership of the large majority of City Panhellenios is not confrned to alumnae residing within specific city boundaries but includes or often is drawn from multiple suburban and/or other adjacent areas, and WHEREAS, Resultantly this designation is nondescriptive and confusing, especially in public relations, therefore be it RESOLVED, That the name "City Panhellenic" be changed to "Alumnae Panhellenic."

From the City Panhellenics Committee: WHEREAS, There have been instances where City Panhellenics have selected and invited fraternities to make extension presentations and have participated in the choosing of those to be invited to establish college chapters, therefore be it RESOLVED, That the "Procedures for Affiliated City Panhellenics," under "2. Relationship with College Panhellenic" (page 60, Manual of Information) be amended by the addition of the following paragraph on the top of page 61 : "City Panhellenics should avoid participation in the extension of new chapters on a college campus.

All questions or comments on extension should be referred to the Chairman of the National Panhellenic Conference City Panhellenics Committee."

From the College Panhellenics Committee: WHEREAS, The National Panhellenic Conference believes that membership selection is a process requiring clear and unimpaired thinking on the part of both rushees and chapters; and the selection process which jeads to a lifetime commitment should not be influenced by the serving of alcoholic beverages,

National officers attend the National Panhellenic Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. Left to right, He len H. Malon e, NPC delegate; Betty U. Wallick, delegate to Editors' Conference; MaryAnn S. Linton, NPC 1st alternate delegate; Margaret A. Neff, visitor; Esther K. Gatseos, NPC 2nd alternate delegate; and Rose Marie Fellin, Central Office Executive delegate.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that National Panhellenic Conference recommends that the College Panhellenics prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages m rush.

From the College Panhellenics Committee : WHEREAS, rush activities and membership selection should be confined only to the membership of a National Panhellenic Conference chapter, THEREFORE, be it resolved that National Panhellenic Conference recommends that the College Panhellenics prohibit the participation of men in rush functions, except as protective escorts or chapter house employees.

The Executive Committee for the 1975-1977 biennium is Mrs. Robert L. McKeeman, DZ, Chairman; Mrs. William F. Williamson, Jr., ll>M, Secretary; and Miss Minnie Mae Prescott, KD, Treasurer.

Homecoming celebrations were among the many events in which Alpha collegians participated this fall. These celebrations included various activities. Floats were a large part of most Homecomings, and Alphas were not to be beat. ALPHA BETA, BETA BETA, EPSILON EPSILON, ETA ETA, KAPPA KAPPA, CHI CHI, BETA GAMMA, BETA EPSILON, BETA ZETA, BETA KAPPA, BETA MU, BETA RHO, BETA SIGMA, BETA PHI, GAMMA ZETA, GAMMA ETA, GAMMA RHO and DELTA XI all participated in float building activities on their campuses.

Some interesting ideas were presented by many Chapter floats. "Cartoon Characters" was the Homecoming theme at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and ALPHA GAMMAS joined the fun by entering a float entitled "Popeye and Friends." "The Star Spangled Bearcat" was the title of PHI PHI's Homecoming float under the theme "Broadway Productions." BETA ETA's float, "Stomp 'Em," displayed a giant football shoe and sock stepping on a Viking. In honor of the Bicentennial, BETA NU's entered "Philadelphia Freedom" as their float. "Ugly Duckling" was the title of GAMMA OMICRON's float, while the theme of GAMMA PI's Panhellenic float was "Thumbs Up." With "Bicentennial Celebration" the Homecoming theme, DELTA EPSILONs were proud to display a huge replica of the Declaration of Independence on their float. Riding along on the float were Betsy Ross, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Paul R evere.

Homecomings are held for alumni, and to honor Chapter alumnae, many collegiate chapters sponsored alumnae teas, open houses and brunches. Some chapters included parents and friends in the festivities, and menus ranged from coffee and cookies to dinners. Collegiate chapters recogizing alumnae in this way included ALPHA ALPHA ( they displayed past scrapbooks) , ALPHA BETA, ALPHA GAMMA, EPSILON EPSILON, PHI PHI, CHI CHI, BETA GAMMA, BETA EPSILON, BETA ETA (their Mother Patronesses sponsored the tea for collegians and alumnae), BETA THETA, BETA IOTA, BETA KAPPA, BETA MU, BETA NU, BETA PI, BETA PHI, BETA PSI, GAMMA BETA, GAMMA IOTA, GAMMA XI, GAMMA OMICRON, GAMMA PI , GAMMA RHO , GAMMA PSI and GAMMA OMEGA. The Beta Upsilons had an especially nice Homecoming, as the Terre Haute Alumnae Chapter held a dinner for the collegiate members.

Other interesting Homecoming activities included ALPHA ALPHAS decorating a fraternity house while ALPHA BETAS presented a skit in the Bulldog Spirit Contest. During Homecoming weekend, ALPHA GAMMAS joined in a campus wide effort to save John Sutton Hall, a major landmark on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus. At BETA BETA, Homecoming included house decorations and an all Greek pep rally with bonfire, band and songfest. During the weekend, they also sponsored a pancake breakfast with proceeds going to their house fund . EPSILON EPSILONS participated in an all school powder puff football game

(Freshmen/Seniors vs. Sophomores/Juniors) . A house decoration entry, "Alpha Sigma Alpha's Greatest Show ~n Earth," kept the ETA ETAS busy. As a novel entry m the parade, they carried an "Everybody Loves a Clown" banner behind a Model T car filled with clowns. KAPPA KAPPAS led a cheering section at the game and PHI PHI's variety skit was patterned after "Oliver." CHI CHIS celebrated Homecoming with a snake dance and a bonfire. The Chi Chi Washboard Band performed in the Homecoming Variety Show, and at the annual Theta Xi Tug-of-War Games, they cheered on to win the Spirit Trophy.

BET A ZETAS worked on a campus display and skit while BETA ETAS held an informal float-building rush party ; BET A THETAS led a cheering section at the game while decorated cars and the Alma Mater Competition highlighted Homecoming for BET A LAMBDAS. BETA MU's Homecoming included a song festival and intramural games. Decathalon games and volley ball and softball tournaments were included in BETA RHO' s activities. Participating in the Trike Race and banner competition highlighted BET A UPSILON's Homecoming.

BET A PSIS participated in a Soap Box Derby while GAMMA ETAS entered a window and couple decorating contest.

Instead of traditional H omecoming floats, Adrian College held a fun booth display in the college mall.

GAMMA MUS sponsored a raffle in which contestants guessed the number of M & M's in a jar. To inspire spirit, a snake dance preceded by a bonfire-pep rally was held. An old fashioned chicken bar-b-que luncheon was served before the game, and a car caravan cheered Adrian on to victory. Putting a philanthropic touch to Homecoming, GAMMA XIS helped children in special education build a float . "Valley Will R oll" was the house decoration theme for GAMMA PIS while GAMMA OMEGAS sold candy at Homecoming events and sponsored an officers' car for the parade.

H omecoming would not be complete without a Homecoming Queen and her court. Alpha chapters were well represented with candidates this year.
