NEWS TO Gamma Beta recolonized The recolonization of Gamma Beta at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point took place Oct. 30, 1993.

Twenty-eight women from the Zeta Epsilon Nu local sorority were pledged by Julie Wiley, A, chapter consultant, and Sandy Phillips Brzezinski, fE, constitution chairman.

The original Gamma Beta Chapter was founded in 1957 and closed in the 1970s. The university enrolls 8,600 students on a 335acre campus in central Wisconsin.

Zeta Epsilon Nu was founded in 1990. Installation is planned for spring 1994.

Colony pledged at Averett The Averett College Colony was pledged Nov. 29, 1993, at Averett College in Danville, VA. The women were pledged by Julie Wiley, A, chapter consultant, and Cherie Fink Shallock, D.Z. Averett College is in southern Virginia. Installation is planned for spring 1994.

Colony pledged at Wagner The Wagner College Colony was pledged Dec. 11 , 1993, at Wagner College in Stanton Island, NY. The women were pledged by Mary McGuire, NN , Province I director.

The group was founded as a sorority interest group in April 1992. Installation is planned for spring 1994.

Two chapters closed It is with sincere regret that the National Council of Alpha Sigma Alpha announces the closing of Epsilon Phi Chapter at Indiana University in Bloomington and Epsilon Delta Chapter at St. Mary's College in Winona, MN. The closing of Epsilon Phi will be effective at the end of the school year on May 6, 1994. The closing

NOTE

of Epsilon Delta took place Oct. 15, 1993. All members of both chapters will become A'iA alumnae upon the official closings.

Andrea Tunia hired at headquarters Andrea Tunia, EI, former chapter consultant, has joined the staff at National Headquarters as director of chapter services.

Andrea, who most recently worked for the Social Security Administrion in Memphis, will be responsible for providing chapter consultant, national officer and collegiate and alumnae chapter support services. She also will be involved in the computerization of membership records.

Hazing update: Two more chapters on probation .

The Alpha Sigma Alpha National Council has placed two more chapters on probation for hazing, one for the rest of the school year and another for two years.

This brings to four the number of A'iA chapters on probation for hazing, which is contradictory to the ideals and values of the sorority and poses a severe risk for individual and sorority liability.

With these actions, the national organization has indicated it will not tolerate hazing in any of its chapters. Anyone aware of problems at A'iA chapters should contact National Headquarters. Your name will be kept confidendial.

Keeping the Alpha Spirit As the result of a study by a committee appointed by the National Council in 1992, Alpha Sigma Alpha has renewed its commitment to the four-fold, lifetime development and education of its members.

New programs have been developed as a result of the study and will be unveiled at the 1994 National Convention in Milwaukee. It should be great!

CORRECTIONS * In the summer 1993 Alumane Action, the Kansas City Alumnae Chapter was incorrectly located in Kansas. The correct location is Missouri.

In the summer 1993 issue, an article on the installation of Zeta Delta at North Adams State College, MA, omitted several names of charter initiates. They are Jacqueline h Rosner, Dena Scott, Kerry Stocks, Tanya Volff, Annette Wall and Michelle Weston.

The Phoenix regrets the errors.

*

LETTERS Kudos for summer issue The summer 1993 issue ofThe Phoenix was without a doubt one of my favorites to date.

I truly enjoyed reading about the history of the crest and national headquarters and hope to see more articles dedicated to history in future issues.

EUen Orzo, Epsilon Mu Editor's note: With the approach of the sorority's 100th anniversary, there will be many more history articles. Anyone with articles ideas or interest in writing articles should contact the editor.

Editor thanks sorority It is with a great deal of gratitude that I thank all of my Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters for their support during my year as president of the College Fraternity Editors Association.

The support of the staff at National Headquarters and the extra financial assistance provided by the national organization as well as the good wishes of you all made my very busy, demanding year more bearable.

Thank you again. I could not have done it without you.

mately $70,000. The housing corporation had an attorney on retainer and a local real estate agent was investigating property values near the university campus.

In August of that year, the housing corporation proposed and received approval from the national council to buy a parcel of farm land bordering Greek row at Northern Illinois in November 1988.

Ready to build Seven years into the project, in August 1992, the housing corporation convened to consider a building project in the spring of 1993. While cash balances were more favorable , it still was clear there would have to be additional financing. A committee was formed to prepare a building proposal to secure the national organization's commitment to join the housing corporation in providing a permanent dwelling place for the Beta Rho Chapter.

At that same time, the housing corporation began preliminary negotiations with three local lending institutions for a long-term loan. In March 1993, the First National Bank in DeKalb was selected as the primary lender. Two short-term loans also were procured, one from the national organization.

In February 1993, three architectural firms were interviewed, and based on references, personality and overall fee, the architectural firm of Williams & Elliott was chosen by the housing corporation. The firm drafted blueprints, based on a design predetermined by the housing corporation many months earlier.

Six separate construction companies were asked to bid on the project in March (Photo by Rod Karmenzind) 1993. Willowcreek Construction Co. was selected as the general contractor because of its recent successful completion of another Greek house as well its most competitive bid.

The new house was finished in August 1993, and the chapter was able to move in at the beginning of the fall semester. This three-story, 13,000-square-foot brick home has 21 bedrooms, six showers, six toilets, two guest bathrooms, a commercial kitchen, dining room, great room, den, computer room, laundry facilities and a two-bedroom manager's apartment.

The most crucial area is the recruitment oflocal alumnae to serve on the housing corporation board. The board's function is to assist and advise the chapter and the national organization, work with attorneys, real estate agents, loan companies, insurance representatives and others to assess the amount of money needed and the conditions of leases and/ or loans. A legally recognized 50l(c)7 not-for-profit housing corporation is mandatory for any chapter renting, owning, constructing or intending to do the same in the name of an Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter.

lpha Sigma Alpha is a home to every collegian and alumnae member. On several campuses, adequate ousing for the sorority is a significant consideration in attracting new members and upholding the excellence Alpha Sigma Alpha has enjoyed since its founding.

velyn G. Bell, twice past national president, died Nov. 4, 1993, in Amherst, NY, at the age of 86.

A charter member of Pi Pi Chapter, installed in 1926 at what is now State University College of Buffalo, Ev was president of her college chapter and attended her first national convention that year in Chicago, IL. In 1927, she was appointed to her fust national office as social services chairman, and in 1930, she was elected to the national council as national registrar. This began 28 years of continuous service on the national council that did not end until the completion of her second term as national president in 1958.

Those 28 years were an exciting time for Alpha Sigma Alpha. The national convention in 1930 elected the youngest national council since the sorority's reorganization in 1914 and marked a significant change in the direction of the sorority. Twenty years later, AlA became a member of the National Panhellenic Conference. And during her second term as president, Ev presided over the establishment of the fust national headquarters in Kenmore, NY. But Ev was more than a devoted national counselor. At a time when careers for most women were limited to marriage and children, she was an educator for 45 years with the Buffalo city schools system. She began as a seventh and eighth

grade social studies teacher, was an assistant principal, supervisor of elementary education and assistant coordinator of personnel before becoming director of personnel for the Buffalo Board of Education in 1965, a position she held until her retirement in 1972.

A graduate of the College of Buffalo in 1926, Ev also earned a masters degree from Teachers College of Columbia University, NY. In 1969, she was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award by the College of Buffalo for "outstanding professional services." In 1963, she received the Wilma Wilson

Sharp Alumnae Award.

Ev was a member of numerous professional and civic organizations and the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church.

Very active in the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter for many years, Ev was instrumental in re-establishing Pi Pi at the College of Buffalo in 1976. The chapter had been closed in 1953 by a ban on national sororities and fraternities by the State University of New York board of trustees.

At the suggestion of the Buffalo alumnae, the AlA National Council established the Evelyn G. Bell Award in 1979. The award is given biannually to a member who has shown outstanding leadership and loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha as a collegiate officer, alumnae officer and national officer. The fust award was presented by Ev to Hiwana Cupp Crompton, BE, at the 1980 national convention in Niagara Falls, NY. During an interview in 1991 , Ev shared some of her Alpha Sigma Alpha memories with several Buffalo alumnae sisters. They found her, even at age 84, an attractive woman with a great sense of humor.

She shared with them her great devotion, in time and determination, to the sorority. From time spent in college to make Pi Pi an AlA chapter to summers away from her career to attend national council meetings and conventions, Ev always took time for AlA. Ev is survived by a sister and two nephews.

Christy has served her chapter as house steward, house manager and vice president. She has served the university community as a dormitory representative, a student ambassador and on the yearbook staff.

Her fellow chapter members say she "seems to be part of every committee in the sorority. She is always the driving force of the committee, assuring that the work is complete and reflects well on the sorority. She single handedly completed the cooking and cleaning during parents' weekend, and she goes out of her way to help a physically handicapped sister attend sorority events."

Christy serves as the spirit of the chapter and is a motivating force to other members. "Christy is always cheerful, and she never seems down," says one member.

Ideal Pledge Award The Ideal Pledge Award is based on the ability to work within the pledge group, leadership qualities, spirit and attitude during the pledge period.

Jennifer Jerome, Delta Chi, is the recipient of the 1993 Ideal Pledge Award. A sophomore at Bloomsburg University, Jennifer served as chaplin for her pledge class.

The Zeta Gamma Chapter was pledged in December. Through a great deal of hard work, determination and teamwork by all of its members, the women of Zeta Gamma Chapter reached their goal of installation before the graduation of their senior members.

The installation team consisted of Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, national president; Leslie Maxwell Ziringer, fH , national secretary; Janice Christofano, fH, Province 11 director; Lori White Scott, EE , national

T

he Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation has established the Founders路 Memorial Scholarships to commemorate the sorority's centennial in 2001.

The Foundation will award the first scholarship at the 1994 National Convention in Milwaukee to an outstanding undergraduate member who exemplifies the vision, academic excellence and leadership skills of the founders.

Tv.ro scholarships will be awarded at the 1996 national convention, three at the 1998 convention and five at the 2000 convention.

Thereafter, five scholarships will be awarded annually.

Any collegian interested in applying for the first scholarship should contact National Headquarters immediately.

Become a charter donor To fund the Founders' Memorial Scholarships. the Foundation has

established a special giving category. Those who donate $500 between June 1993 and the close of the 1994 national convention will become Charter Centennial Donors.

Those who, during the same period, pledge to donate $500 by the 2000 national convention will become Centennial Donors.

For more information about the new scholarships or how to become a charter or centennial donor, please contact Lisa Tait at National Headquarters.

New giving level During its summer meeting, the Foundation board established the new giving level of $2,500 to $4,999. Those who have given this amount will be called Narcissus Donors. Currently five donors have reached this giving level.

The Palm level will be redesignated for donations of $1,000 to $2.499. Currently 15 women have reached this giving level.

Anniversary gifts established The Foundation board also established a chapter anniversary gift program, in honor of chapters who have attained 25-, 50- or 75-year anniversaries.

The Foundation will present gifts to university libraries to purchase books in honor of those chapters: $25 for 25th anniversaries, $50 for 50th anniversaries and $75 for 75th anniversaries.

Chapters celebrating anniversaries in 1993 were Gamma Rho, East Stroudsburg University, PA, 25 years, and Beta Kappa, Western Illinois University, 50 years. The appropriate gifts were presented to those chapter's university libraries.
