Founders' Day Message

90 years of courage and commitment

by Diane James National President

Courage, fores ight, de termination and commitment are some of the words that come to mind as I think about our fi ve found e rs .

These are also the same words that come to mind when I think of sorority women today, whether they -be collegiate or alumnae members.

It is time for Alpha Sigma Alpha to celebrate the 90th anniversary of its founding Nov. 15, 1991 , and I believe that the sorority woman today must possess the same courage, foresight, determination and commitment that Virginia Boyd Noell, Louise Cox Carper, Juliette Hundl ey Gilliam , Mary Williamson Hundley and Calva Watson Wootton had at the beginning of our sorority, 90 years ago.

Our found ers had courage to believe in their ideals and to form a sisterhood that has brought us all together. We must have courage to believe in our ideals and the ideals of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Courage to stand up for that in which we be-

lieve and to let others know we are part of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Th e for es ight our found e rs showed was that just as the sorority had a place in their lives in 1901 , it has become as important to us and our li ves in 1991. Now we must show foresight in planning for the sorority's future by making Alpha Si gma Alph a as r elevant to th e woman of 2001 or 2091 as it is for us today.

Our founders had determination to make Alpha Sigma Alpha a national sorority and a vital part of campu ses across th e country. We too must have determination to see Alpha Sigma Alpha grow as a vital part of the campuses where we now have chapters and determination to continue to grow as we go on new campuses across the country.

Our fo unders' commitme nt is Alpha Sigma Alpha today. We must also have commitment for Alpha Si gma Alph a. Commitme nt th at makes Alpha Sigma Alph a an important part of our li ves, now and always. Commitment that our membership is lifetime membership, not just during our years in college.

It is time for all Alpha Sigma Alphas to renew their vows to the sorority. As we do , let us think of the courage, foresight, dete rmin ation and commitment our founders had that brings us our sorority membership today and what our courage, foresight, determination and commitment will bring to the me mbership of Alpha Sigma Alphas in the future. -<:r -<:r

'Charting the Course' to 37th Convention stellation is the first commissioned ship in the U.S. Navy (1797) and is the oldest American warship continuously afloat.

The Inner Harbor also offers the Top of the World, which is actually the 27th floor of the World Trade Center, with an observation level for a panoramic view of the harbor and city and a museum with exhibits on the history of Baltimore. The Top of the World sits on top of the tallest pentagonal building in the world.

Harborplace and the Gallery offer a myriad of shops and restaurants sure to lure any shopper and satisfy any palate.

Though the Inner Harbor is nearly a community in itsel( venture out to explore the many ethnic neighborhoods, historic homes and internationally acclaimed museums in and around Baltimore. Sports enthusiasts will want to plan a trip to the Orioles' new state-of-the-art stadium, scheduled for completion by opening day, 1992, or a tour of Pimlico Race Course.

Baltimore, also known as the Charm City, offers some unique hometown transportation facilities for tourists. For example, for less

than $5, an aU-day, unlimited-use water taxi ticket is available to see more than four miles of shoreline with a total of 11 landings. Or try the historic Baltimore Trolley Works for 25¢, a fun and inexpensive way to see the heart of Baltimore. And, for the exercise enthusiasts, take a walking tour of historic Baltimore. See such areas as Antique Row; Bolton Hill, which is Baltimore's version of Boston's Beacon Hill; Fell's Point, Baltimore's original shipbuilding and maritime center; Federal Hill, with a great view of the harbor; Little Italy; and Mount Vernon, marked by the original Washington Monument.

Located on the mid-Atlantic coast, Baltimore is in close proximity of other historical and cultural attractions, as well. Within a day of the city: • Washington, DC, a tourist mecca itsel( is only 35 miles away and has many "must-sees," including the Smithsonian Castle, the U.S. Capitol, the White House and many monuments and museums; • Pennsylvania, with the Pennsylvania Dutch country and Gettysburg, is 90 minutes away; • Annapolis, a harbor town and

state capital ofMaryland, is home to the U.S. Naval Academy and is a 45minute drive.

Located 20 minutes from downtown, and somewhat isolated from Baltimore's center of activity, is Marriott's Hunt Valley Inn, the site of the convention. Staying at the Hunt Valley Executive Park, convention goers will be "far from city frenzy-yet close enough for city fun ." Marriott promises a theme of country charm, comfort and elegance in the resort-like environment.

Named for Maryland 's Hunt Country, country club amenities are available such as a pool, whirlpool, tennis courts, weight room and a 27 -hole golf course. For those who find shopping a relaxing experience, the Hunt Valley Mall is located across the street from the hotel.

As always, members can anticipate an action-packed, fun-filled and educational convention. After all, if Baltimore can provide the setting for Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, it can provide the setting for Alpha Sigma Alpha to host a successful national convention.***

1992 Convention

Julia Hofer leads convention team Julia Hofer, Delta Iota, is Chairman of the 1992 Convention in Baltimore.

A museum educator in the Wilmington, NJ, area, Julia is advisor of Delta Iota Chapter and national chairman of advisors.

"I like the fact that the role ties into my job as a museum educator," she says. "I like being able to show this part of the East Coast to its best advantage and the opportunity to make sure everyone sees it at its best. My ultimate goal is to have everyone say, 'I had a really great time- let's go again in '94.' " Julia didn't want to reveal any surprises, but she was able to say a

Sunday lunch cruise is planned on the Inner Harbor and that there will be a panhellenic event. " The theme , 'Charting th e Course, ' " she says, "not only ties in with the aquatic theme prevalent in the Chesapeake Bay area, which is a big area for Maryland blue crabs and great sailing, but also refers to charting the Alpha Sigma Alpha course as we approach our centennial in 2001.''

Julia's greatest challenge as chairman was finding a good hotel in a good location at a reasonable price for a few hundred women. Managing the convention long-distance is also a challenge, she adds.

"Local chapter members will be serving as chairmen, including music coordinator , decorating chairman , meal chairman, tour chairman/special events, art chairman, boutique chairman, hospitality chairman, among others. I'll be using their skills in the areas needed for chairmen. " Julia, her husband and daughter live in Newark, 70 miles from the convention site.

THE PHOE LX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

Reflections

The Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha

by Karen M. Walker

Remember taking the annual National Membership Exam as undergraduates? The chapter advisor would hand out the exam in the crowded chapter room , and everyone would begin writing furiously , racking their brains to remember the Greek alphabet and getting "Mary Williamson Hundley" mixed up with " Juliette Hundley Gilliam."

Back then, the point was to get the exam over with, to get on with the chapter meeting and to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Now that I am the chapter advisor who administers and corrects about 100 tests a year, I have had plenty of opportunity to absorb the whole exam. In particular, I have noticed that th e most wonderful and important part of the examination is the last item, which implores the test-taker to write the Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha slowly and to take the time to think about each word of the Creed as she writes it.

What wise advice! After reciting the Creed b efore every chapter meeting, it becomes as automatic as "The Pledge of Allegiance" became in grammar school or the " Lord's Prayer" in Sunday school. All three are brimming with meaning; the meaning just gets a littl e lo st through the repetition of it all.

What a shame; Wilma Wilson Sharp offered every Alpha Sigma Alpha the key to living a happy, fulfilling life when she wrote that Creed.

What follows are my thoughts on how the Creed can be interpreted to bring meaning to our li ves today.

"To fill my days with satisfYing activity ... " How many precious hours of every day do we spend "vegging" in front of the television set? Is this really "satisfying activity?"

Karen M. Walker, Gamma Eta, is a graduate of Penn State and now a Gamma Eta advisor. Newly married, she and her husband live in State College, PA.

Karen M. Walker

Sure, it is important to find time to relax and unwind. But too much relaxation can turn to laziness. Truly "satisfying activity" can mean spending tim e with family and fri ends. Or it can mean volunteering in the community, exercising, finishing necessary chores or reading a good book. The key is to be productive and to make every living moment fulfilling and worthwhile.

When I tried to relate this line of the Creed to my own life , I thought first of my job. I am in the office from 8 to 5, five days a week; I think it's fair to say that pretty much " fill s my days ." To relate this to th e Creed, I had to ask myself, "Is my job reall y sati sfyin g?" Unfortunately, the more I thought about it, I had to admit to myself that the answer was " No." So I decided that in order to keep the promise I made to myself and to my sorority every time I recited that Creed, I had to do something about it. I have since decided to continue my education and to begin developing a career that is more gratifying to me .

"To find dominant beauty in art, literatu路re , nature, and friendships . . . " This part of the Creed talks about appreciation and personal enrichment. It means that we must care enough about the world around us to learn about it. This may mean a little bit of work on our part. For those of us with little knowledge of art and mu sic, it means experimenting with new things , like at-

tending an art exhibit or a ballet or a symphony for the first time.

Whether we possess any artistic ability or not, if we learn enough to appreciate the talent of an artist or a musician , we can derive a lot of pleasure from the various art forms.

Likewise, great works of literatur e are filled with surprising pleasures. From Shakespeare to modern romance novels, all different kinds ofliterature can touch our lives, teaching about human nature and society, making us laugh and cry and most importantly, making us think.

In th ese environmentally-conscious tim es, finding dominant beauty in nature is especially important. To truly appreciate nature means we must protect its beauty.

We must do whatever we can now to recycle, to stop the destruction of rain for es ts , to save endangered species and to make the world a safe place for our children to live.

The dominant beauty in friendships comes from true understanding and acceptance of one another.

We should strive to find that beauty in all of our relationships. However, sisterhood friendships are uniquely beautiful. Sharing in chapter ceremonies, working with one another for a common cause like rush or a philanthropy, partying together at formals , even arguing with one another during discussions in chapter meetings-all bring us closer to understanding each other and knowing what each individual is really about.

"To know the peace and serenity of a divine faith . . . " Life is about faith, about " belief" We must believe in something.

Whether we are Catholic, or Protestant, or Jewish, or atheist, if we learn to live our life according to our faith , putting our heart and soul into it, we will find peace.

My father-in-law does not appear to be a man of faith in the traditional sense. He does not believe in God or life after death or any particular religion, but he does believe in life.

Alumnae directory released Copies of Alpha Sigma Alph a Alumnae Directory we re mail ed during the summer to alumnae who ordered the book.

The directory has already proved to be an invaluable resource for members of the Phoenix staff who used it to research information for several articles in this fall issue.

Some confusion has arisen, however, over the organization of chapte r li s ting s, whi ch follow th e English alphabet rath er than th e Greek alphabet or the Alpha Sigma Alph a chapter orde r . Th erefore, Early Early Alpha and Early Alpha Alph a chapters are found among the " E" listings. Likewise, many double letter chapters, which normally appear after the Alpha chapters and before the Beta chapters , are listed ne ar th e e nd . And of course, since it follows an English alphabe t, th e D elta and Epsilon ch apt e rs ar e liste d b e for e th e Gammas.

Alpha Sigma Alpha and H arris

Creed Continued f rom page 7 This wonderful man puts everything he has into his belief in life. At age 65 he has accompli shed so much. He has become the world's authority in hi s field; he is a great hu sband , fath er and grandfather; and he e njoys every sin gle day, swimming, golfing, dancing, socializing, living like there's no tomorrow. H e is one of th e h appiest people I know, and he makes everyone around hi m happ y. H e h as found peace and serenity from his belief in life and the knowledge that if he had his life to live over he wouldn't do a thing differen tly.'

And that seems to be precisely the point of th e next line of the Creed: "To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good."

As the saying goes, " You onl y live once." We shoul d therefore learn to

love this gift oflife we all have been given . By following all the other parts of the Creed, we should be able to do so. Making sure each day of our life is fill ed with satisfying activity; taking the time to find the true beauty in art and literature and nature and our friendships; believing in something strongly enough to find p e ac e and sere nity; th e se things seem to be the key to loving life and to making each day joyous and ultimately fulfillin g! " . . . This is my Creed in Alpha Sigma Alpha. " Although we promise our sorority to try to fulfill the points in the Creed, it should really be a pledge we make to ourselves. These five simple lines hold the key to happiness. Remember them always, and try to live th e m. You promise d .

The Foundation's r es tricted funds policy was revised during the 1990 Convention in order to lower the amount needed to establish a chapter scholarship.

The minimum principal amount of a named scholarship for an individual will remain at $10,000, but a scholarship named for a chapter will need only $5,000. The Foundation will accept lesser amounts with the understanding that it will hold amounts up to 10 years pending receipt of the full amount.

Beta Sigma Chapter at Springfield, MO, established their scholarship fund at their 40th anniversary, soon after the Foundation was established, and they were able to present their first scholarship in

It's not just a 9-to-5 job "What do you do-travel and go to parties?"

As chapter consultants, we are asked this question at many of the chapters we visit. Few ALAs understand what our position entails, and the general public has no concept that such positions exists.

A chapter consultant's responsibilities include working with undergraduate groups at colleges and universities, dealing in such areas as leadership development, communication skills, membership recruitment, program d eve lopment , financial planning and membership education. The consultant's job is unpredictable, for every chapter's personality is slightly different.

The role of a chapter consultant is not a 9-to-5 job. We couldn't clean off our desks (or stuff it into our suitcases) at 5 p .m. and leave it for the next day. Though the hours can be many, so can the rewards; we have experienced many memorable moments. We will always remember triggering the alarm at National THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

A chapter consultant is a person who is very dedicated to the aims of

Alpha Sigma Alpha. She must always represent the sorority to the best of her ability, establish rapport with the chapters she visits and meet th e objective of building a stronger sorority for the future . To accomplish all this, a consultant basically eats , breathes and sleeps A:LA for a year!
