The Years Behind Us 1976 to 1992

By Sue Zorichak Hagen. BB National historian

Historian's note: Thetwo previous histories of thesorority-"The Years Behind Us-A History of Alpha Sigma Alpha" (1901 to 1951) and "A History Supplement" (1952 to 1976) include the first 75 years of our history in achronological narrative of nine chapters. Therefore, this history supplement of the years 1976 to 1992 begins with Chapter X; each sorority "year" starts with the biennial summer national convention, or with the national council meeting in offconvention years. Each chapter represents the length of that historian's term in office.

l'""f1he death of Alpha Sigma Alpha President 1 Emerita Wilma Wilson Sharp July 16, 1988, will no doubt be remembered as one of the most significant events in the sorority's past 15 yea rs.

Mrs. Sharp, 88, was born in Marshall, Mo., and lived in Independence, Mo. , from 19211986. She was a charter member of Zeta Zeta Chapter at Central Missouri State Unive rsity, Warrensburg, Mo., initiated in 1919. A teacher by profession, she also had a long and illustrious career with ALA and the National Panhellenic Confere nce.

A me mber of the natio nal council fro m 1922-1957, she served as national president from 1930 to 1936 and again from 1941-1952.

She represented Alpha Sigma Alpha as NPC delegate from 1947-1957, and also was a regio nal adviser of college Panhe lle nics and chairman of a joint committee for NPC and the National Association of Deans of Women. She was ho no red with the title of Alpha Sigma Alpha president emeritus in 1959.

Mrs. Sharp was kn own thro ugho ut the soro rity and the Greek community for her skilled leadership and gentle nature. Her many accomplishments include authoring The Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha and tl1e sorority's inspirational memorial ritual se1v ice, both of which are still used .

Her death came at a time of great challenge not o nly for ALA, but for the entire fraternity world as well. Issues such as hazing- and hazing deaths- alco ho l and drug abuse, poor campus reputations, date rape, eating disorders and declining membership gripped collegiate Greeks across the count1y. On the alumnae level, women's groups struggled to attract and ma inta in me mbers w ho most like ly now worked outside the home.

A'LA expansion over the past 20 yea rs onto campuses other than those known as "teachers

colleges" produced a crop of graduates ready a nd hu ngry to jo in corpo rate boardrooms rather than school classrooms. The 1980s saw more women in America enter the workforce tl1an ever befo re.

As a result, women's social groups suddenly fo und themselves having to re-examine the va lue of what they offered their membe rs.

Alumnae programming was forced to shift from domestic-related topics to those of a business nature: networking, balancing career and fa mily, "dressing for success" and how to handle sexual harassment.

The increased numbe r of wome n in the workforce also had another effect on sororities: Who among us had time to volunteer to serve as a national officer' Fewer new graduates, it seemed, were interested in--or rather, had the time- to help shape their sorority's future.

Their energies were directed toward new jobs, new husbands, new children. At the same time, the women who had dedicated yea rs to national service were anxious to pass on their knowledge to "the younger generation."

Alpha Sigma Alpha reacted as most other NPC groups did: along witl1 the values and ideals insti.lled by each group in its collegians, came the leadership training, stronger messages of lifetime commitment and increased inte raction with alumnae chapters.

The ultimate message: each sororities' life lay in tl1e hands of its collegiate members. Lack of volunteers has proved to be o ne of the sorority's biggest challenges as it heads into its second centwy .

Chapter X 1976 to 1980 Betty Urban Wallick, National president 1976-1980

ear Sisters in Alpha Sigma Alpha: One of the high points in my life was during the 75th anniversa ry conve ntion , June 1976, when I was installed as natio nal pres ident of Alpha Sigma Alpha by our beloved President Emerita Wilma Wilson Sharp. One of her Zeta Zeta Chapter sisters was being given d1e awesome responsibility of leading the entire sorority. What a challenge it was!

DUling d1e late 1970s sororities were still uy ing to make a comeback on college campu es. The media emphasis was on many of the wrong aspects of Greek life, and if sororities did not change to meet the needs of the modern woman, they would cease to exist.

Times may change but our values and ain1 in the orority do not, so the national council over which I presided from 1976-1980 began to implement some of the program that led to the growth of Alpha Sigma Alpha during the 1980s.

Since a good pubLic inlage is vital, members were encouraged to wea r their ALA pins wid1 any appropriate apparel, and alumnae we re advised that they could now have charm or rings made from their badges.

Officer hand! ook were revised and in some instances written, and all officer were encouraged to use procedure notebooks. The Chapter Enrichment Program, designed by Elaine Rahain1 Fuer t, 86, wa implemented in the fall of 19 . pec ial Olympic ' a adopted at the 19 6 convention as the national philanthrop ic program , and emphasi was placed upon per onal invol ement by collegia ns and alumnae.

The pr vince program wa trengthened

and expanded with collegians and alumnae being separated. Programs were designed for use at province days, and the first province directors' workshop was held at national headquarters in Springfield, Mo., in October 1977.

The 1978 convention was geared to sorority education. Chapter goals for the fall of 1978 were pledging total, using a chapter enrichment program and using an approved pledge program. Later, minimum standards were adopted as a guide for each chapter. Much emphasis was placed upon the importance of advisors.

Changes were made in The Phoenix format to make the magazine more functional. Editor Dr. Helenrnarie Hofman, Ar, was the first ALA elected to serve on the executive board of the CoiJege Fraternity Editors Association.

I mention these few changes because they helped pave the way into the 1980s, during which d1ere wa a revitalization not only of Alpha Sigma Alpha, but also of the other 25 national sororities.

I tried to Live the Alpha igma Alpha Creed during my te nure as president, and during these past years as I have served in other positions. I shall always treasure the love, support and yes, guidance from those women with whom I served . It wa my privilege, and I thank you for the opportunity.

1976 to 1977 Diamond Jubilee The United States was in the midst of its bicentennial celebration when ALA had concluded its Diamond Jubilee convention in Williamsburg, Va. , June 27July 1, 1976.

That summer found our sorotity moving forward with gratitude for our heritage, enthusiasm for our future and a renewed conviction in the meaning of our sisterhood.

Special Olympics "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt. " As the result of efforts by Sydney Gremillion Allen , o/o/, when she was philanthropic chainnan (1974-1976), the conven ti o n body accepted Specia l Olympics as the national philanthropic project in 1976. Collegiate and alumnae chapters nationwide became involved in a vatiety of ways.

That first year, for example, the Central Pennsylvania Alumnae Chapter donated a ch eck to the state 's Special Olympic program, w hile the Murray, Ky. , Alumnae co-sponsored a read-athan with a local associa tio n to raise money.

Delta Eta Chapter and the DePau l University Program Council combined forces to sponsor a dance marathon, the proceeds of whid1 went to handicapped children.

Early fall saw the formatio n of two alumnae d1apters: Roanoke Valley, Va., and Ptinceton, W. Va. While members celebrated those chapters' beginnings, Chi Chi Chapter celebrated the 40rh anniversary of its d1arter at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., Oct. 16, 1976. A total of 132 collegians and alumnae joined for the reunion.

In fall 1928, the charter for Chi Chi Chapte r originally was granted to Phi Delta Psi local at Teachers College of Indianapolis. Mary Turner Gallagher, XX, and Helen Selvage Noblitt, XX, went to Denison University, Granville, Ohio, to be initiated into A:EA by Upsilo n Upsilon Chapte r.

Mrs. Gallagher was to serve as the advisor for the new sorority in Indianapolis . When Teache rs College of Indianapolis became th e Co ll ege of Ed ucation of Butler University, the charter temporarily was withdrawn and later placed at Ball State Dec. 12, 1936.

75th

"Following a busy Saturday of workshops and meetings, He le n L. Corey, KK, installed the national council for the 1978 to 1980 biennium.

Marlys White presided over the awa rds presentations.

"A huge friendship circle brought to a close the 1978 convention. On Sunday collegia ns and alumnae de parted for home to share the LOVE of Alpha Sigma Alpha with those who were unable to attend. As eve1yone depaned, it was obvious convention 1978 had been a huge success. Delegates and visitors, who had had very little sleep since Wednesday, were still shaling ideas and saying goodbye to o ld and new-fo und frie nds."
