Women learn leadership skills at four regional institutes

Alpha Sigma Alpha held its fourth biennial Emma Coleman Frost Leadership Development Institute during this past summer.

The theme and activities were based on Sisterhood - Heritage Leadership.

The purpose of the institute this year was for each woman attending to realize her full leadership potential within herself, her chapter and her community.

The women were able to learn about themselves and their leadership skills through personal development challenges, problem solving and team building activities within designated groups. At each

LDI, there were approximately 10 groups with eight to 10 women each. The programming was under the coordination of Vice President of Programs Cindy Fundis Smith, EE. The four regional sites for the LDI this past summer were at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, June 16-18; Southwest Missouri State University, June 23-25; Ball State University, IN, July 28-30; and James Madison University, VA, Aug. 4-6.

All four sites had general sessions facilitated by national officers on such topics as self-esteem, ritual , values and ethics, advisor communication and Greek system public relations. All of the materials for these sessions are available through national headquarters.

Also, all four sites included a special workshop for advisors.

They had training and review of "Stars in My Crown: A Handbook for CoUegiate Advisory Boards. " 1\vo of the regional LDis also had the opportunity to experience special trust activities, respect, delegation, problem solving and team building through a ropes course.

The East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania LDI attended the Stony Acres Ropes Course and the James Madison University LDI attended the Camp Horizons Rope Course.

The two other LDis had the ropes course replaced with special trust and support activities (human knot, butter-chum etc.) and additional workshops on conflict resolution, creative ways to look at challenges, risk management and financial goal setting.

The traditional "Great T-Shirt Exchange" and songfest were part of each LDI, as well as other motivational sisterhood activities.

And each LDI concluded with the presentation of national awards.

Winners will be featured in the winter issue of The Phoenix.

As a woman's organization, Alpha Sigma Alpha has the responsibility to help its members become welleducated and well-rounded leaders and women as stressed in the creed, the ritual and the motto Emma Coleman Frost, fiii, lives by: "willingness, participation and activity."

rpg;eam beeome~ rea{Yy National President Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, and foundation Chairman Rosemary Carucci Goss, Bll, sign the historic papers that transferred the sorority's phi lanthropic fund , which funded scholarships , to the foundation .

BY DR. ROSEMARY CARUCCI GOSS, BII Foundation Chairman

On June 18, 1995, Alpha Sigma Alpha sorortty and foundation history was made.

Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, president of the sorortty and Rosemary Carucci Goss, BIT, chairman of the foundation, signed a letter of agreement to transfer the Alpha Sigma Alpha Philanthropic Fund to the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation as directed by a resolution passed at the 1994 national convention. From the beginning of the foundation, it has been the dream of both the sorortty and the foundation that all philanthropic monies be distrtbuted through the foundation. That dream will now be a reality.

At the time of the transfer, the sorortty endowed six named scholarships- Wilma Wilson Sharp, Martha Green Dimond, Mary 1\.rrner Gallagher, Amy M. Swisher, Mary Emerson Blackstone and Grace Fultz Hayworth Music Scholarship.

Interest from each endowed scholarship will be used to grant these scholarships annually. All remaining

assets in the philanthropic fund were deposited into a newly created foundation fund titled the National Scholarship Fund. Interest earned on this fund will be used to grant other scholarships previously given by the sorortty - two special education scholarships, the national philanthropic scholarships and the graduate resident scholarship.

The sorortty and the foundation expects each collegiate and alumnae chapter to contrtbute annually to the foundation's National Scholarship Fund or to one of the named scholarships, just as they contrtbuted to the sorortty's philanthropic fund in the past.

The transfer of the philanthropic fund to the foundation will help fulfill the purpose of the foundation to "provide the means for funding and supporting the educational, philanthropic and charttable purposes of the sorortty. " In addition, contrtbutions to this scholarship fund will now be tax deductible within IRS regulations.

One goal of the foundation is to increase the number of scholarships given. To this end, the foundation also will award two Founders' Memortal Scholarships in 1996.

These scholarships, established by the foundation board in 1993 in honor of the founders, will increase in number each year so that. by the Centennial Convention, five Founders' Memortal Scholarships will be awarded each year.

Other foundation meeting highlights The annual foundation meeting, held in June in Sprtngfield, MO. was a busy one. Financially. your contrtbutions from June 1, 1994,

through May 31, 1995, made the year the best ever for the foundation.

Not only did the fund balance for the foundation increase 33 percent, but these contributions enabled the foundation to send two collegians to the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute, grant one Founders' Memorial Scholarship, make a sizeable contribution to the S. June Smith Center and assist with the Emma Coleman Frost Leadership Development Institutes. And this is just the beginning.

During the past year the national council of Alpha Sigma Alpha has been busy developing a strategic plan for the sorority. As a result of requests from the national council, over the next year, the foundation will support three collegians and one Greek advisor to attend the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute. The foundation also will fund the printing of the personal development and leadership sections of The Encounter: A Lifetime Membership Program for both collegians and alumnae.

The foundation will continue to support the Emma Coleman Frost

Leadership Development Institutes and to give contributions to libraries on campuses where chapters have 25-, 50- and 75-year anniversaries.

New trustee elected Other highlights of the June meeting included the election of a new foundation trustee, Suzanne Hebert, BZ, of Mandeville, LA. An article about Suzanne's endowment of a Founders' Memorial Scholarship appeared in the spring issue of The Phoenix.

Invitation to participate On behalf of the foundation, I thank each of you who contributed so generously to the foundation this past year. Your gifts have made possible new programming efforts and a much needed increase in the foundation fund balance. I invite all Alpha Sigma Alphas to join in building the foundation.

Through the foundation, Alpha Sigma Alpha's dream of increased fmancial support for scholarships, philanthropic endeavors and leadership development will become a reality.

cffrtioÂŁinto the.fowe q/6ororitie6 anr(fatemitie6

BY KIM RAMSEY MEYER, BB National President

While we remember our founders and celebrate our history. it is wise for both collegians and alumnae to take a few moments to contemplate our future ... and not just the future of Alpha Sigma Alpha, but the entire Greek system. Why join a sorority today? Do the benefits outweigh the disadvantages?

We don't have to look far to know that alcohol abuse is still a major problem for young people and for our whole society. To quote from a fraternity magazine, "Alcohol remains the most widely used drug on campus. The incidents related to its abuse- from date rape to death continue to plague us." The late-night phone call that every national president dreads is most often related in some way to alcohol that has resulted in the death or serious injury of a member. Until we, as Greeks and as individuals, can come to grips with our use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. we will continue to be our own worst enemy.

Hazing is still prevalent on many campuses. Sometimes I wonder if it is just human nature to want to make someone "earn" their membership in an organization. But it is wrong to hurt or humiliate other people: it is wrong to make someone drink most of a bottle of Southern Comfort when she cannot recite the Greek alphabet correctly; and it is wrong for women to help haze fraternity pledges.

Women houldn't treat other women this way. especially women who are in the process of becoming our friend and lifelong sisters.

I almo t depled ed after I was hazed in the earl 70 . Althou h it's not an excu e. we didn't know any better.

FALL 1995

'If we want the Greek system and Alpha Sigma Alpha to be here for the young women of tomorrow, our daughters and granddaughters, we must learn to live up to our own standards and regulate ourselves.'

In today's age of enlightenment, we can and we must find better ways to assimilate our new members.

You might say, "Yes, but the fraternities are the ones with severe problems with hazing and alcohol."

Some fraternities are taking actions to ensure the safety of their members. with substance free housing and stricter alcohol policies.

But, I am here to tell you, that if the fraternity system self-destructs, we will go down with them.

What other issues affect Greeks today? The same ones that are affecting us all to some degree ...

AlDS. eating disorders, sexual harassment and acquaintance rape. It is not easy to be a college student today. We need each other, we need our sororities and our sisterhood and our support, more than ever.

Even our single sex status is being challenged. At Middlebury College in Vermont, fraternities have been forced to accept women members.

One fraternity has gone underground and is using the courts to challenge their right to freedom of association and assembly.

There is a lot to "fix" within and outside our Greek system, and sometimes it seems like we aren't making any progress.

But I am a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha because I CARE ... and that's why you're a member too.

You CARE. We all CARE about our sisters. We care about high ideals and values. We care about supporting other women to be the best they can be. We care about the young women of today and tomorrow ... and we want them to have the opportunity to join a sorority.

We want other women to be able to experience that special feeling called sisterhood that lasts a lifetime.

We CARE ... and we know that by working together as sorority sisters and as panhellenic sisters we can make a difference.

Now, more than ever, membership in a sorority offers something to young women no other organization can offer. Beyond meeting the need to "belong," sororities promote and expect high standards of behavior and academic achievement from members. We provide support and guidance so each woman can develop her full leadership potential.

We provide education on life skills - such as wellness and nutrition, relationships, careers and fmancial management. And we do all this within a framework of high ideals and values common to all our sisters.

In our panhellenics - campus, city and nationally- we are working together to address our problems and promote our strengths. We are putting aside our differences and discovering that we have more in common than we thought we did.

NPC, the National Panhellenic Conference, is in the process of creating collaborative programming

THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

on many issues and soon these programs will be available to all college panhellenics.

NPC is working with the NIC, National Interfraternity Conference, to develop programming for our college men and women. Programs such as Greek Solutions have been presented on many campuses, where students are encouraged to rethink their "norms" about alcohol and drugs - and to take proactive steps in risk management as a campus community. The men's and women's groups don't always see eye-to-eye on how to address these issues, but we are talking to each other and working together to strengthen the entire Greek system.

We are certainly working on our methods of membership recruitment, that is, rush. NPC's "no frills" rush provides our members opportunities to develop their social and conversational skills, rather than perfecting an elaborate skit. We must continue to look at how we market ourselves.

Are we appealing to the top students

on campus? If all we talk about during rush is drinking and parties with fraternities, that is what our new members will expect. We must be willing and able to talk about the real benefits of sorority membership sisterhood, common ideals and lifetime support.

And what can YOU do? Plenty!

Alumnae, whether you realize it or not, you are one of our most potent rush tools. You are role models to everyone around you. How often have you known someone you admired and later found out she is a Greek or even an Alpha Sigma Alpha sister?

We never know how we might influence someone else. Talk about being Greek. Talk about what your sorority means to you and what it has meant to you as a woman.

Don't just talk about wild parties.

Talk about the outstanding members of your organization and your philanthropic projects. Be proud to be an Alpha Sigma Alpha!

Collegians, what can you do?

Remember your ritual. Live it every

day until it becomes part of you.

Remember you are not just a member of a chapter on your campus, you are part of a national organization. Your national officers and alumnae sisters are here to support and encourage you. Never hesitate to ask for help.

As a Greek on campus today, you have wonderful opportunities for leadership and growth ... and you have an awesome responsibility to live up to the ideals of your sorority.

Be proud to be an Alpha Sigma Alpha!

If we want the Greek system and Alpha Sigma Alpha to be here for the young women of tomorrow, our daughters and granddaughters, we must learn to live up to our own standards and regulate ourselves.

Each one of us has a stake in the future of our sorority. Each one of us has the same awesome responsibility to show those around us that we are proud to be an Alpha Sigma Alpha, proud to be Greek.

AlA Work has begun on a new Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae Directory.

Scheduled for release in the spring of 1996, it will be an up-to-date reference of over 32,643 Alpha Sigma Alpha members. This directory will include current name. address and phone number, as well as business information for every member who responds.

The directory also will provide alphabetical listings by maiden and married names, by profession and by geographical location. It will be bound into a classic, library-quality edition.

The sorority has hired Bernard C. Harris Publishing Company to produce the directory. This is the same firm that produced the Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae Directory in 1991.

The firm has already sent out several questionnaires to all members.

Representatives are in the process of phoning everyone who returned a survey to make sure the information is correct and taking orders from those who wish to reserve a copy of the directory.

If you have not been contacted by Jan. 15, 1996, please contact Harris Publishing directly at Customer Service Department, Harris Publishing, 16 Koger Center, Suite 103, Norfolk, VA 23502; phone 800-877-6554 The new Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae Directory will soon make finding another member as easy as opening a book!

Adopt-a-School success Adopt-a-School, Alpha Beta Chapter's new philanthropy, is well on its way to becoming a lasting tradition for the chapter.

Members volunteer weekly to tutor children at a local elementary school. The chapter has received positive feedback from teachers involved, who appreciate the program because it allows students to receive individual attention. Teachers also have noticed that the students are more excited about learning.

Members of the chapter are benefiting from Adopt-a-School involvement as well. Chapter Philanthropic Chairman Marie Speidel is excited with the initial success of the program, which concluded its first semester this past spring.

In the future, the chapter will join resources on a rotational basis with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon and the women of Delta Zeta. Involving other Greek organizations will ensure the program becomes a campus-wide tradition.

New computer system installed at A2.A headquarters

Eight chapters placed on scholastic probation

New computers and the software to run them have recently been installed at Alpha Sigma Alpha National Headquarters.

This project, approved by the national council last year, is part of the sorority's overall goal to better serve members and of the continuing effort to modernize the operations at national headquarters.

The collection of one-time alumnae dues went in large part toward fmancing the new computers.

Chief among the capabilities of the new system will be a computerized list of all Alpha Sigma Alpha members. This will allow the sorority to keep up-to-date information on names, addresses, careers, fmancial status, donor status and offices held as a collegian and alumna.

Much of the information will come from the Harris Publishing Company. which is now working on a new edition to the Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae Directory (see page 19). Other information will need to be entered by hand from the current card ftle records.

Once the system is up and running, a great number of new services will be available from national headquarters.

As with any new computer system, there is a learning curve, and it will take time to get all of the information entered into the computer. According to Executive Director Li a Tait. rH, some of the new feature will be available as early a this spring while some will take until fall 1996 or beyond to implement.

During the transition from the old to the new. Li a asks that member be patient. If you have any problem or notice any litche . plea e contact ational Headquarter . 417-869-0980.

Eight Alpha Sigma Alpha collegiate chapters were placed on scholastic probation for the fall 1995 semester.

According to national scholarship standards, established at the 1994 national convention, every chapter and colony must maintain a minimum 2.6 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) in order to remain in good academic standing. These eight chapters did not fulfill this minimum standard.

The chapters are Epsilon Rho, William Paterson College, NJ; Gamma Xi, Slippery Rock University, PA; Beta Pi, Concord College, VA, Delta Kappa, University of Southern Indiana; Epsilon Eta, Virginia Wesleyan College; Gamma Eta, Pennsylvania State University; Beta Rho, Northern Illinois University; and Epsilon Theta, Pennsylvania State University-Behrend College.

As a result of the probation, these chapters are not eligible for any national chapter awards or Four Star Chapter status during the term of the probation.

University of Colorado Greeks ban alcohol at chapter parties Sororities and fraternities at the University of Colorado, Boulder, this fall banned alcohol at all events at chapter houses.

The university's nine sorority houses have been dry for years, but the 18 fraternities were allowed to host "bring your own booze" parties as long as there were no kegs.

The new policy, voted on by all of the campus' chapters, calls for "zero-tolerance" to underage drinking and no events with alcohol in chapter houses. In addition, some Greek chapters on the campus have instituted a total ban - all chapter functions will be non-alcoholic.
