Aspire, Seek, Attain . This familiar motto encompasses every endeavor we undertake as Alpha Sigma Alphas, and the rush endeavor is no exception . It provides the incen tive, motivation and the desire to do a top notch job. So let's aspire to be, seek and attain the rank of first rate rushers and contribute to the growth of ALA.

Aspire

To have a great ambition. Rush itself is a great ambition . It is the crucial part of member ship selection and is essen~ial for growth of the organi zation. It is meeting the objective of pledging young women who offer the attributes and talents that contribute to the integrity of each chapter. There are several ways to meet this objective, which include educating your rushees and revealing your accomplishments.

SPRING 1991

To endeavor to obtain or reach . For each rush season, your chapter should seek to obtain the Alpha Sigma Alpha goal of Q-T, otherwise known as Quota-Total. Here's a memory refresher on the meaning of each .

Quota is the total number of rushees accepting the first invitational parties divided by the number of participating sororities. This is the number each sorority is allowed to pledge during a form al rush period.

Once established, quota should remain unchanged for that entire formal rush period.

Total is the total number of pledges and initi ated members comprising chapters on a particular campus.

While seeking to obtain quota-total, a successful rush won't just happe n wi thout diligent planning. i:r

**

To accomplish, achieve. The most rewarding achievement of rush is introducing a new group of sisters, with a variety of personalities and characteristics, yet all sharing common ideals and goals. Those common ideals and goals make the basis for a lifetime membership in Alpha Sigma.Alpha, comprise? of women willing to give o~ tbem.selv:e~.

Explain the sorority

In order for a rushee to want to pledge ALA, she' ll need to know about ALA, what it represents, what the plans, projects and visions are for its future. Offer the rushee information she may not think to ask: Explain the importance of national conventions, review the four aims and what honors th e chapter has received. Perhaps several chapter officers can give brief presentations that support each area. For instance, you may want to describe the pledge program and the emphasis of integrating pledges into the whole organization, philanthropic activities, promoting leadership development and the like.

* **

How well do you know your rushees? How many legacies are participating in rush? Do your homework and take the time to review their membership information sheets-you can be t they'll be checking your credentials. After all, this is a lifetime commitment. Rush is an interactive process, that is, you are trying to discover information about the rushees at the same time they are discovering things about you.

Gen rate new 路das

Each chapter is endowed with an excellent resource pool, your new initiates. They are the group that most recently experie nced rush from the rushee's perspective . Have a brainstorming session and generate some new ideas. Ask them what the chapte r could have done differently, what did they like, what didn't they like. This will help )'OU identifY areas of imp rovement and will verifY you are conveying the 'right message' to rushees. Perhaps establish a survey with a rating scale.

Special Olympics becomes truly international

by David Phelps Communications Director It started with the rays of the sun breaking through the clouds and warming the Acropolis on an overcast May day in Athens, Greece .

It concluded with an emotional welcome by over 35,000 people in a sun-drenched football stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, and the lighting of a flam e. " It" was the lighting and carrying of the Special Olympics torch from Athens to Glasgow over a distance of 3,700 miles and 52 days for the openin g ceremon ies of the third European Summer Special Olymp ics Gam e s- ce r e moni e s that marked the beginning of a weeklong sports competition for 2,200 athletes and 800 coaches from 31 European countries.

And the torch and flam e of those games was representative of one of the most significant years in the 22year history of the Special Olympic movement.

In February 1990, th e Sovie t Union joined Special Olympics Intern ational, bringing an estimated 100,000 athletes into the world 's largest organization of year-round training and competition for people with mental retardation .

And, for the first time, th e Soviet Union participated in the European Summer Special Olympi cs Games with a team of athletes, coaches and volunteers.

The past 12 months have seen the total number of nations with Special O lympi cs program s grow to 9 8, with developing programs in an additi onal 15 countries .

Currently, Special Olympi cs Int e rn a ti o na l h as a n es tim at e d 750,000 athl etes and 500,000 voluntee rs in vol ved in its programs around the world-a significant increase from 1968 and th e first na-

Now , throughout the world of Special Olympics, the focus is turning towards Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the VIII Internation al Summer Special Olympics Games which will be held th ere from Jul y 19-2 7, 1991.

These games will be the largest sporting event in the world during 1991 , and the largest ever in the history of th e Spec ial O lympi cs move ment. More th an 6,000 athle t es from nearly 90 countri es, 2,000 coaches, 10,000 family and fri ends, .50 ,000 volunteers and an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 spectators each day will be a part of these games.

Competition will take place at 10 world-class venues in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area- including six on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Athletes will compete in a total of 10 official and fi ve d emonstration sports including, for the first time, powerlifting and table tennis .

The International Summer Special Olympics Games represent an outstanding opportunity for members of the community to become involved as volunteers, coaches and sponsors. In Minn eapolis and St. Paul , hundreds of people are preparing to open their hearts- and their homes-to th e thousands of athletes who will join them in July.

Throughout Minnesota, communities are " adopting" a country and learnin g more about th e cultural and regional characteristics of their adopted country, again in preparation for welcomin g and hosting the visiting athletes.

You , too , can become actively involve d in th e VIII International Summer Special Olympics Games -and in the year-round efforts of Special Olympics International . As e ach state chapte r and country prepares to choose its representative team for Minn eapolis, there will be a need for people who can become involved in assisting the athletes and the team in a multitude of ways, through coaching, volunteering, marke ting, financial support and so on .

To become an active participant, simply make contact with the Special Olympi cs office in your area or state. If the local Special Olympics contact is not listed in your phone book, the n call Special Olympics International at (202) 628-3630 for volunteer information . Hundreds and thousands of athletes and their fami lies around the world will welcome your involve ment and participation . -tr -tr

AIA adds Smith Center to philanthropic program With the action taken at the 1990 National Convention Alpha Sigma Alpha now has two specific philanthropic ' programs. The S. June Smith Center joins Special Olympics, which was adopted at the National Convention in 1976, as an AI:A philanthropic commitment. These programs compliment the more general aim of aid to special education that is carried out by chapters and the AI:A scholarship fund.

S. JUNE SMITH CENTER

Center aids early development of special children

by Gretchen Erb Chairman of Philanthropies

At the 1990 Alpha Sigma Alpha Convention in Scottsdale. AZ , the convention body voted to add the S. June Smith Center to the national philanthropic program.

The center is named after Dr. S. June Smith, an ALA alumna from Kappa Kappa Chapter at Temple Uni ve rsity, b ecaus e of he r r espected leadership in the field of special education . Her dream-to provide children with developmental delays with stimulation early in life-has been realized . The S. June Smith Center's slogan illustrates its mission simply, "To find the gift in every child."

The center, with four locations in the Lancaster, PA, area, provides services free of charge to help children with developmental delays to grow to their full est potential.

The " First Ste p" program provides early ide ntification , evalua-

tion , referral and placement for the children. Infant stimulation classes for children and parents encourage parents to be active partners in the development and growth of their children by teaching therape utic and play techniques . Th e center offers a hom ebound program for infants who are t ec hnologydependent.

The toddler program facilitates the transition from infant stimulation to preschool. The preschool program is designed for children ages 3 to 5 and meets each child's language, physical , cognitive and social development needs.

Early stimulation program for premature infants and therapy for infants who are HIV-positive or who have AIDS also are provided by the center.

The center serves as a source of support for the parents of all these special children. The center and its professional staff have been the recip ie nts of several awards for excell ence.

Services of the center are partially funded by federal , state and community agencies but depend largely on private donations. It is hoped that the adoption of the S. June Smith Center by Alpha Sigma Alpha will make a difference in the li ves of th e childr e n and th e ir families.

This year, collegiate and alumnae chapters are asked to do a fund-raising project for the center. Several chapters have already reported successful projects.

If you would like to support the S. June Smith Center, you may contact: Alph a Sigma Alpha National H eadqu art ers , 1201 E. Walnut , Springfield, MO 65802, or S. June Smith Center, 25 N. West End Ave., Lancaster, PA 17603.

Much of the information to be verified on each individual's listing will be going into the directory. Specifically, current name, academic data, residence address and phone number (if applicable) will be included.

The scope of this information is an indication of the thorough and complete quality of the entire volume. The directory will sort this data b y name in the alphabeti cal division and by class year and geographical location in separate sections of the book. Also included will be photos and information on the sorority.
