50,000 women can't be wrong 'We can always add to our sisterhood quilt; there is always room for more pieces, there is always roomjor more love'

BY KIM RAMSEY MEYER, BB National President

"Back to Basics" was the theme adopted by the Alpha Sigma Alpha National Council for the past two years.

With the help of many national officers and our headquarters staff. we have examined every program, policy and procedure, all our publications and materials and all our services to members. We have updated, revised. rewritten and simplified as much as possible.

Foremost in our minds during the process was a commitment to the basic tenets and traditions of 2 - while making sure our sorority is relevant to the Kim R.

Finally, the tiny pieces become bigger pieces, and the bigger pieces become a unified pattern. A solid backing covers all the seams, some of which are not quite straigh t. Some batting is added for depth , warmth and comfort. The quilting design , like the bonds of sisterhood, is stitched in to add texture, beau ty and interest. The last step is the binding, which is added around the edges to hold everything firmly together.

Every handmade quilt has some imperfections and flaws. They are small enough so that the eye overlooks them to see the more beautiful overall picture. Quilts, like sisterhood, will last for years and years and years, if given a little tender loving care and respect.

Our Alpha Sigma Alpha quilt is unfinished. But that is because we can always add to our sisterhood quilt; there is always room for more pieces. there is always room for more love.

I thank you for your support and the privilege of serving Ai as you r national pre ident.

It was a great convention on a great lake as more than 300 women gathered in Milwaukee for the 38th

Alpha Sigma Alpha national convention.

BY LORI MUEHLBAUER ROBINSON, IlK Feature Editor

Over 300 women gathered by Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, WI , to celebrate the 38th Alpha Sigma Alpha National Convention.

It was truly a great convention on a great lake.

The convention got off to its official start Wednesday, June 22, 1994, with the opening session. Greetings were extended from a representative of the Milwaukee Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist spoke on his favorite spots to visit in the city.

For dinner, convention goers were able to visit some of the mayor's favorite spots.

Many chose to walk to several local restaurants in outings coordinated by

Milwaukee Area Alumnae Chapter.

After dinner, National President Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, called the first business meeting to order.

She gave her "State of the Sorority" address, explaining the highlights of the biennium.

That evening, the ice-breaker activity was "Star Search." Everyone received a paper with a word or phrase that placed them in a group.

Each participant had to search through the crowd for her fellow group Continued on page 7

Two women initiated during national convention Two alumnae were initiated in ceremonies during the 1994 national convention.

They were Delta Rho advisor Rhonda Bellon and Margaret Ten Broeck.

Rhonda's sponsor during the initiation was Chairman of Rush Eleanor Borbas Williams, A; Margaret's sponsor was her daughter, Nora Ten Broeck, BK, past chapter consultant and amember of the national headquarters staff.

New membership program introduced at convention From the opening night ice-breaker through changes to the Bylaws of Alpha Sigma Alpha to the newly named Outstanding New Member Award, it was on everyone's mind.

The Encounter: ALifetime Membership Program was introduced at the 1994 national convention with agreat deal of fanfare during numerous workshops and ageneral session, presented by National Vice President of Collegians Suzanne Kilgannon Preston, BI. In the program, pledging and pledge classes are eliminated in favor of a six-week education program for new members, followed by alifetime of educational programming for all members.

Several A"i.A chapters conducted pilot sessions of the program during 1993-94. All71 chapters and colonies nationwide

Whistling to gainattention, Maureen Syring, National Panhellenic Conference alternate delegate for Della Gamma Sorority and its past national president, spoke on her early experiences as asorority woman.

She confessed that she didn't know the names of all 26 national sororities, and she didn't even know there were 26 NPC sororities. For all she knew, NPC was the National Political Convention, and panhel was some "Greek God." Maureen admitted that after graduation, she wasn1 involved with her sorority for 17 years while she moved around the world with her husband who was in the Navy. She finally attended Maureen Syring her first alumnae meeting and realized then all the friendships she had missed.

Maureen went on to discuss how all sororities stand for the same things, and that we couldn't have "one sorority without the others." She explained that colleges are changing with the average age of college students at27, and college students spending $5.5billion dollars on alcohol ayear.

Being caring and showing compassion through the values and ethics of Greek organizations is our way to contribute toward positive change, Maureen said. When it comes to values and ethics for the college student, "we are the only game in town."

She urged the audience to be passionate and have enthusiasm about their sorority experience, speak up against abuses and work toward positive change.

Creativity Donning an apron stating "Genius at Work" and various headresses, Barbie Tootle, director of special projects and special assistant to the president at The Ohio State University, quizzed those in attendance to test their openness to creativity.

Barbie explained the creative process as having five parts. First, insight was described as seeing the big picture and being open to creativity. Preparation involves doing your homework. Incubation is the processing of information, which may invoke a"surprise" response. Illumination is the result. which must not be stifled. The final step is verification and Barbie Tootle involves reality checks.

Barbie ended with aquote from Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important that knowledge." were then initiated into Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Cabs were kept busy, and umbrella sales were up for those attending the luncheon cruise on the Edelweiss II. It was a great opportunity for convention goers to socialize while viewing historic monuments and new city developments.

After lunch, workshops explored The Encounter: A Lifetime Membership Program A general session,

presented by National Vice President of Collegians Suzanne Kilgannon Preston, BI, highlighted

this new program (see sidebar) .

Twenty-one women answered the call to become Charter Centennlal Donors by the 1994 convention.

Due to the campaign's success, the Centennial Circle campaign has been initiated. Donors who give $500 annually will qualify for the Centennial Circle each year of their donation. The Centennial Circle campaign will continue until the Centennial National Convention.

During the 1994 National Convention, the first Founders' Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Amy Michele Smith, Beta Gamma, Northeastern State University, OK. These scholarships will increase in number so that by the Centennial Convention, five Founders' Memorial Scholarships will be given annually.

Philanthropic Fund moves A resolution passed by the 1994 convention body transferd the Philanthropic Fund of the sorority to the foundation. This will enable the foundation to carry on its mission as the philanthropic fund-raising arm of the sorority.

All monies contributed to the Philanthropic Fund will now be tax deductible.

The general consensus in the Greek world is that fraternity and sorority foundations hold the key to the success of our organizations in the future. The programming needs of our chapters are so great, dues alone will not enable us to meet these demands.

Alpha Sigma Alpha began its foundation only recently-1986.

Now that we have built a reserve and, even more importantly, have developed a committed group of annual donors, the foundation will be able to provide more money annually for scholarships, philanthropic work and educational

THE

EDITOR

Challenges and rewards of 10 years as editor

BY NANCY I.Z. REESE, BY

with stunning special effects for a fraction of what it used to cost.

Producing the magazine on computer also takes less time. New deadlines that go into effect with the next issue will take advantage of this time savings and should result in a magazine with more timely news.

National Editor

I celebrated an anniversary of sorts when I attended a conference this fall at the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City.

This is the hotel where I was first appointed editor of The Phoerux some 10 years ago. The hotel's indoor waterfall was a prominent feature on the cover of my first issue. I was glad it was still there.

Those of you who have followed the magazine over the last 10 years will know that I don't often wrtte "From the Editor" columns. Most of my handful of columns have dealt with hazing, something to which I am strongly opposed.

One of the few other times I have wrttten a column was on the occasion of the 75th anniversary issue of The Phoerux. Of all the 40 issues over the past 10 years, this one stands out as my favorite -but not the best. The best issue is always the current issue in production or the one just published.

The challenge And that is the challenge that keeps me going - how to make this issue better than the last and how to make this year or biennium better than the one before.

Not only does Alpha Sigma Alpha need a magazine that competes with those of other Greek organizations, but it is also vital for it to have a magazine that will compete with other media for the attention of busy students and administrators and women with busy professional, volunteer and family lives.

The national council of Alpha Sigma Alpha has been very gener-

The rewards

ous in awarding budget increases to The Phoerux. The Phoerux is a better magazine and will continue to get better in great part because the council has been willing to pay for more color, more pages and better design.

The council does this because it recognizes the magazine is the sorority's best public relations tool.

More people, from members, to parents, to campus administators, see and associate the magazine with the sorority more than any other item.

The latest challenge for The Phoerux staff, but one that has resulted in dramatic improvement in how the magazine is produced and how it looks, took place over this last year when the magazine went to being totally produced on computer.

Now, copy for the entire magazine is typed directly onto computers by The Phoerux staff or staff at national headquarters. The copy is edited and sent directly on computer disk to a designer, who produces, on computer, layouts

Less tangible than the challenge but no less important to keeping me at the computer on a beautiful fall day is the rewards of being editor.

There are the readers - both my special fans and all those other readers, from 18-year-old new members to 90-year-old alumnae, that are out there. I am thinking of at least one of you each time I wrtte a headline or edit an article.

There is The Phoerux staff- I could not have been editor all these years without them. Their performance has been exemplary and the magazine has been better because of their contribution.

There is the national organization - from national headquarters and the national council to the other national officers, all of whom have been very supportive of my efforts and willing to provide the articles and other materials I need.

And then there are all the women and men I have had the opportunity to meet and work with over the years - in my collegiate chapter, in my alumnae chapter, at regional meetings, during collegiate visits and during interfratemal meetings. It was especially an honor to serve recently as the president of the College Fraternity Editors Association.

It's also been an honor- and a privilege - to serve as your editor for the last 10 years.

While saying some of these kinds of events are being handled appropriately on some campuses, the presidents went on to say that others did not fulfill their stated purpose as philanthropic and social events and included activities that put women and men at risk and/or were demeaning to women and men.

The presidents went on to urge chapters to carefully consider the value and appropriateness of various events before agreeing to participate and to support any groups that choose not to participate because of risk management or human dignity concerns.

As a faculty member at SUNYBrockport, I conduct on-going research on various aspects of college student health. One area in which I publish extensively is college student dieting behavior.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter graciously volunteered to serve as subjects for one of my research projects. I am most appreciate of their efforts.

Thanks again to the women of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Dennis L. Thombs, PhD Assistant professor SUNY-Brockport

Chapter mourns member Kathleen M. Callahan, a member of the Beta Rho Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha at Northern Illinois University, passed away on April23, 1994. While on a camping trip with some of her AlA friends , Kathy fell asleep in a tent with a propane heater on, the poisonous fumes caused her death.

Kathy is remembered by her family, friends and people she touched everywhere. She has left everyone with an abundance of memories, all of which contain her beautiful, happy smile. Her love has added its own meaning to our chapter, one we will never forget.

I want to take this time to thank all the chapters who sent their regards during this difficult time and remember the Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha - "to love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good" - Kathy definitely did.
