BY NORA M. TEN BROECK, BK Feature Editor Can Founders' Day be celebra ted without th e fo un d rs? Fo r th e past 100 years, Alpha igma Al pha has celebrated Founders' Day in a variety of wa s.

Luncheons, devoti onal ervices and remini cing over time past ar hallmarks of this an nual event. Fo r man years this was a celebra ti on without a center. The orOJ;ty did no t po e kn owledge of its memb rs initiated before 1914, including th e fi ve found rs.

THE PHOOIIX Of AlPHA SIGMA AlPHA

The proclamation of Founders' Day Sept. 23, 1933, Mrs. Sharp officially proclaimed Nov. 15 as Founders' Day. After a long hiatus, the sorority had knowledge of its historical founding, th e individual fotmders and early history.

This indeed was a time to celebrate Alpha Sigma Alp ha's past as well as its future . The significant compone nts of Founders' Day are the contributions of the five founders and a celebration of the organization's history. Founders' Day 1933 marked the reclaiming of Alpha Sigma Alpha's lost history and th e inclusion of all members, "old" or "new."

Celebrate the founders on this special day or celebrate the history of the sorority.

Whichever you choose, "old and new girls" alike will continue to celebrate the bonds of sisterhood that have endured a century.

Founders' Day events timeline 1901: The origins of the very first Founders' Day in 1901 are unclear.

Previous sorority histories state th e founders met secretly for their first year.

Perhaps Nov. 15 was the first meeting?

1902: After a year of planning, the founders emerged on their campus wearing tl1eir Alpha Sigma Alpha membership badges. They proudly proclaimed the formation of Alpha Sigma Alpha as a new sorority at State Female Normal School, Farmville, VA. 1914: After several years of financial and membership decline, Alpha Sigma Alpha was reorganized with the assistance of Ida Shaw Martin. Any member not initiated under Alpha Sigma Alpha's new ritual was not considered a member of the new organization, beginning the distinction between "old" and "new" girls. A discussion was posed regarding the date of the organization's found ing. Should it be kept as Nov. 15, 1901, or should it be considered Thanksgiving Weekend 1914?

Keeping the original founding date was the prevailing decision. Founders' Day was decreed an official celebration day by the 1914 convention body.

1933: National President Wilma Wilson Sh arp, ZZ, issued a proclamation Sept. 23 declaring Nov. 15 as Founders' Day. The 32nd birthday of the sorority marked the first time in many years that the story of the sorority's founding was told.

THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

1936: On Nov. 14, 1936, Alpha Sigma Alphas from coast to coast joined in spirit to pay living tribute to the five founders of the sorority. Commemorating tl1e 35th annive rsary of the sorority's founding, a lovely, marble bench and birdbath were unveiled on the Farmville, VA, campus. In attendance were two of the founders, Louise Cox Carper and Juliette Hundley Gilliam, and other distinguished guests such as Dr. Joseph Jarman, president of the college, Miss Evelyn G. Bell, IUI, national president, and Susan Lane, president of Alpha Chapter.

1945: In "Thoughts for Founders' Day" 1945, Mrs. Sharp, ZZ, wrote: "Our fortyfourth Founders' Day is dearly significant because it can be observed in peace and attended by plans to do our share in building a better world ... During all the days of our war, our members in the armed services a nd at home were worthy of our pronouncement: 'Alpha Sigma Alphas work for Ultimate Victory.' Now when peace has come, we must continue to work with constancy and courage that victory will be indeed ultimate and lasting."

1948: Harriett Brown Johnson Naylor, BE, is appointed to seJVe as the first Founde rs' Day Chairman. This sorori ty volunteer prepared a cere mony for Founders' Day each year and sent it to the chapte1路s.

1951: The golden cover of the November 1951 Phoenix proclaimed to the world tl1at Alpha Sigma Alpha was now 50 years old. Included in tl1is anniversary issue were pictures of the five founders, all of them

still living. Ri chmond alumnae were fortunate in havi ng both Juliette Hundley Gilliam a nd Mary Willamson Hundley as guests in their celebration. Founders' Day events all over the cou ntry began the year-long celebration of this very important birthday.

1957: Nov. 16, 1957, Helen Corey, KK, went to Farmville to present a bronze plaque for placement in tl1 e Rotunda of Longwood College, Farmville, VA. Similar plaq ues had been placed by the other members of the Farmville Four: Zeta Tau Alp ha, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Kappa Delta.

1958: The November 1958 Founders' Day celebration was a very special o ne for Alpha Chapte r, as the place of th e sorority's founding was h ono red once again . National PresidentJean Raup Grady, BE, presented a Memorial Garden to Longwood College, Farmville, VA. 1976: The Founders' Day ceremony, written by Silvana Filippello Richardson, fA, was conducted for the first time. This document became the official national ceremony for celebrating Founders' Day and is conducted to this day.

2001: National President Marianne Busch Bullock, B0,joins the Alpha Chapter for a Founders' Day celebration Nov. 15 at Longwood College, Farmville, VA. Nov. 17 Regional Founders' Day celebrations in 10 cities cele brate Alpha Sigma Alpha's 100th Anniversary.

DAY MESSAGE

Fonnders' vision leads to enduring sisterhood

BY MARIANNE BUSCH BULLOCK, B® National President appy Birthday Alpha igma Alpha! Today we reflect on the past and we look to what lie ahead. We stand on the threshold of our future as we celebrate 100 years of si terhood.

The celebration of Founders' Day honors the women who had the wisdom and steaclfastne to create Alpha Sigma Alpha. Their vision, a sisterhood that believed in the be tall-round development of women, has tood the test of time. I am quite sure thi group of young women, Virginia Lee Boyd, Juliette Jefferson Hundley, Calva Hamlet Watson, Loui e Burks Cox and Mary Williamson Hundley, never imagined how thei1· dream would grow and endure. Thi was a group of women who enjoyed life, treasured their friends hips and believed in th emselves and the ennoblement of woman hood.

Our founder \vatched Alpha Sigma Alpha grow and b come a strong, vital organization that changed the lives of thousands of members. I think they would be proud of our organization today.

They would understand the challenges we face-the faced imilar challenges. I think they would tell us that living according to our ritual, giving fully of ou1 elves and caring about one another would ee us through mo t challenges.

In the early 1900 wome n we r just beginning to enjo the privilege of highe1· edu arion oppornm ities. These women faced incredible pre ure to succeed.

Women t da have many advantage that our earl isters did not have, but we till fac incredible pre ure to succeed. It i 1·itical for us ea h to get a good education so that we can up port our familie and ontribut to ociety. And we mu t be lifelong learn 1 . o iety change o rapidl ', om jobs and careers rna b ome ob o l te and we wi ll need to

beginning to replace the horse and buggy as the preferred method of tran portation.

Electric lights were becoming more commonplace, alJo,ving people to change their life tyle . Communication methods were improving as telephones found their way to more h omes. ociety moved at a faster pace as we moved from a rtLral, agricultural economy to an urban, manufacturing economy. I imagine members had challenge in finding balance as new technology created different demand and tresse in th eir lives.

The pace of change early in the last century \vas nothing compared to the rate of change today! Just twenty-five years ago, the first serious home computet·, the Apple ll, was introduced. Today we h ave \vireless technology that allows p eople to communicate in an instant anywhere in the world, facilitating relationship among people of diverse cultures. What does this mean for Alpha Sigma Alpha? Perhaps it will lead to m embers staying involved and connected by advising collegiate chapters from a distance. Perhaps it will allow us to recruit members who, while they may be far removed from th e typical college campu , hare our values and are looking for the benefits we offer.

The down side of rapid change is that we have increased diffi culty leading balanced lives. All this new technology has led to a culture of immediate gratification. It has become expected that we are accessible at all time to our family, friends and employers. Many of u are working longer hours than b foreall th e time-saving device have pushed us to be ever more productive 1-ather than taking more time for lei ·ure activities.

We have no problem filllng our live with activity, but man time we find tho e acti ,~tie are not atisfyi ng! Man women are searching for peace and serenit but it becomes ju tone more thing on their "to do" list. Alpha igma Alpha women , however, remember that balance in our live i e ential. We take time to enjo our i terhood, and make that a priority in our live , because it renews our pirits.Just as our arlie t isters did, Alpha igma Alpha women treasure their friend hip and make time fi reach oth r.

Marianne Busch Bullock,

Who can say what our membership \viii look like 100 year from now? Will we still have a sisterhood whose values have tood the test of time? I believe Alpha igma Alpha will sti ll be a vital force in member ' lives. Certainly women will sti ll treasur their friendships. They \vill tiU ee a need for personal growth and developm nL. Members wi ll up port each other and ontinue to work together to make the world a better place. Alpha igma Alpha will be there to help women through li~ ' journe •-offering isterho d, leadership opportunitie and a chance to enjoy life \vith women of like-minded value .

It i up to each of us to en ure that the dreams our founders had for Alpha igma Alpha and its member conl.inu to b fulfiUed. We must each take action to further their vi ion and advance the be tall-round

Alpha Signw AlphaS First Charter "In all college work and play, Alpha holds her own"

BY MARGARET BARGE RIMEL, Contributing writer

AI; women committed to the ideals and the legacy of Alpha Sigma Alpha, most of us can cite the basic facts leading to our sorority's founding. Five women, Virginia Lee Boyd (the first Alpha Sigma Alpha president) ,Juliette Jefferson Hundley, Calva Hamlet Watson, Louise Burks Cox and Mary Williamson Hundley-excited at the prospect of a sorority life but determined not to be separated- formed the fourth sorority at State Female Normal School in Farmville, VA. The three previously established Greek-letter local sororities were Kappa Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha. They were founded October 1897, April 1898 and October 1898, respectively. On Nov. 15, 1901, Alpha Sigma Alpha was born.

This year, as the national organization celebrates its centennial anniversary, we take a look at the first charter, the Alpha Chapter, which is also celebrating its 100-year birthday. Like any longTHE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

standing organizations led by individuals, the Alpha Chapter celebrates a colorful history, interesting leaders and a vibrant look toward the future.

"Farmville was the first school in Virginia admitting women to advanced work and the first institution in the state to provide teacher training," says Eleanor Borbas Williams, Alpha, a Longwood graduate and current Alpha advisor. "It was the only opportunity for Virginia women to pursue college work, and as a result, it attracted a superior class of students. Many of these collegians were the daughters of state college professors. They grew up familiar with the idea offraternity."

According to Phoenix feature editor Nora Ten Broeck, BK, the Alpha chapter has "existed" three times. The "old" Alpha, the "new" Alpha and present Alpha that began in 1933. The "old" Alpha with its original rituals, symbols, chapter and members, reigned from its founding on Nov. 15, 1901 through Nov. 27, 1914.

During this period the sorority was chartered in the Circuit Court of Prince

Edward County, VA, Feb. 13, 1903, and 13 more chapters, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Iota, Nu, Chi Iota, Gamma Beta Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Kappa Phi and Pi Tau were added between 1903 and 1913.

The "old" Alpha era ended with the 1914 reorganization. At the helm was then-President Ida Shaw Martin, known mostly for her strong-willed leadership, the authorship of"The Sorority Handbook" and the end of her tenure as national president when the sorority voted Wilma Wilson Sharp president during the 1930 convention. Upon the sorority's 1914 reorganization, Ida Shaw Martin instituted a policy whereby only members reinitiated under the "new" ritual were considered members of the "new" Alpha Sigma Alpha. Also, the chapters Alpha, Alpha Alpha, Alpha Beta and Alpha Gamma were given special distinction by including Alpha in their name. This second phase of Alpha Chapter lasted until the chapter closed in November 1919.

ora has her own speculati on regarding th e 19 19 closing. Both the Alpha and t.h e lpha Gamma chapt.er closed aro und the ·ame Lime. "First, Mrs. Martin took th e Alpha charter, perhap due to a d ispute over th e rai ing of funds for war bonds.

Fo r Alp ha Gamma, th ere was somethin g called a 'd emocra tic wave on campus' that caus d campu organ izations to give up th i1· natio nal charter ."

"Then th ere's part two," he adds.

"M rs. Martin wanted to appl fo r memberhi p in P and A.L did no t qualify with chapters at two-year normal schools. Bo th lpha and Alp ha Gamma were at nom1al s ho Is. With out th em on the roll , th e sorority co uld apply and did o in 1921.

But the applicati on was no t received favorab l b NPC." ccordin g to Eleanor, th e Alpha h apter relinqui hed its charter and became the I al Delta Sigma hi. " t n time during 19 19 to 1933 we re th e tandards which had p reviously guided the chapter lowered," he said. pha' p re ent era began in May 1933 wh n Alpha was r in tai led as a chapter of

Alpha Sigma Alpha. The national soro ri ty welcomed eveiJ'One bac k to th e fo ld. The college went co-ed in 1976, a change that did little to chan ge th e t.rength of th e oro rities.

Alpha housing Since 1966, the Alpha Chapter- has been ho used on th e third fl oor of tubbs Hall, tl1e offi cial soro ri ty residence .

"Th ere is a chapter room and uites where up to 20 membe rs can ' live on th e hal l,"' say Elean o r. The building was nam ed in ho no r of Flo rence H. tubbs, a 37-year Longwood facul ty member v teran. At prese nt, Lo ngwood has nine NPC gro ups on campus. Before relocating to th e Stubbs Hall, Elean or a th e chapte r inhabited chapte r roo ms in th e Fre nch, Tabb and Ruffner residence halls Ulro ughout the year .

The Alpha of today When asked to describe today's Al pha wo men, Eleano r prefaced her commen ts carefully. "This i perso nal becau e 1 am an Al pha and I like to t.hink L11at the

women today are much like L11e 1·igi nal founders: vivacious, attractive and intelligent," she says. She refe1-r d to a quo te that she belie e embodi es th e hapter: "In all college wo rk and pia , Alpha holds her own ." When asked to identi ty outstanding members, she replied th at to do so would be to name L11e maj o rity of th e chapte r' me mbers. " ... for L11e are all literally into everything."

Eleano r desCJi bes her charge as ou tstanding, as w II as fri e ndly, atu-active and quite popular n cam pu . "Th are involved in campus ac livilie and quite a few philanthropic events," ·he a .

Ch an ge is as inevitable as the progression of time . Since 1958, Alpha Sigma Alpha h as experienced tremendous change in its leadersh ip and operations. The challenge for the sorority's leadership today is to sustain the past and envision the future.

Leadership make-over 1958-61 New faces dominated the sce ne wi th th e e lectio n ofjean Raup Grady, BE, at the 1958 national convention . For th e first time since 1930, Wilma Wilson Sharp, ZZ, or Evelyn G. Bell, IIII, d id n o t ho ld the office of national president an d n either woma n served on the national council.

Foun ders' Day saw Alpha Sigma Alpha p aying tribu te to its founders with a gift of a memorial gard en to Longwood College, Farmvi lle, VA. A special guest at the ceremony was Ed na Elca n J o nes, A, fi rst sorority grand presiden t. Furth er north, Buffalo alumnae gave a recep tio n in h ono r of Evelyn G.

Greek. With me m bership in such a state of decline, the method of "open rushing" was employed to take new members year round instead of o nly in the fall term.

Chapters were divided into regio ns and province d irectors were appoin ted to more closely communicate wi th collegiate chapters. Th is was the beginning of a communication system that still exists within the sorority today. Clear an d consistent communication with national officers was the new program's goal.

The end of an era came March 31, 1971 as the last living founder, Louise Cox Carper, A, died in Charleston , WV. Louise Neeley Stewart, YY, past historian and editor of The Years Behind Us: A History of Alpha Sigma Alpha died in 1972. T his 1952 publication was the first printed history of the sorOt;ty. Helen L. Corey, KK, was honored for 34 years of service to th e sorority in 1974. Helen served as lo ng-time advisor to Kappa Kappa Chapter at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, as convention chairman from 1938-70 and as secretary to the national council fro m 1944-64. At the 1974 convention, H elen received the Wilma Wilson Sharp Al um nae Award from Wil ma Wilso n Sharp, ZZ. Later in the year, Mary T urn er Gallaghe r, XX, died. T he Retarded Children's Daycare Center became the S.June Smi th Center in Lancaster, PA. T h e William Watson Woollen Sch ool of Indianapolis dedicated its new medi a center to Helen S. Noblitt, XX, who composed T h e Hymn to Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Th e 1976 Diamond jubilee conventio n in Richmond , VA, had th e la rgest sorori ty delegation to date. Conven tion attendees were treated wi th a trip to Farmville, VA, to visit Longwood College.

As Betty Urban Wallick, ZZ, was installed as national president in 1976, sororities were beginning to make a comeback o n college campuses. Supporting th e trend toward chapter growth, the sorority introduced the chapter developm ent program to strengthen th e soro ri ty's collegiate mem bers. Wh ile collegiate chapters were introdu ced to the chap ter developmen t plan, national officers also un derwen t some additio nal training.

T he first provin ce directo r's training was h eld to be tter assist provi n ce d irectors in serving collegiate cha pters.

Leadership legacies Past national presidents and other key sorority officials share the most notable contribution of sorority leaders from 195~1.

Lisa Tait Longo, fH, on Marianne Busch Bullock, B0, 2000-02 Marianne Busch Bullock w1derstands the responsibilities ofleadership-to know her constituencies, to remain connected to the wants and needs of the membership and to communicate so that members and supporters of our great sorority remain engaged in the vision that is Alpha Sigma Alpha. As she began her term as national president at the Centennial Convention in july 2000, the 16-month celebration of the sorority's Centennial was just underway. In addition, the previous national council had introduced an aggressive Strategic Plan 2000. Her charge was to ensure that the organization take time to celebrate this great milestone in our history while focusing on achieving the future laid out in the strategic plan, including the introduction of a new organizational structure.

Marianne has led the national council on a search fo r a structure that will allow for efficient decision-making, quality training and support, various types of involvement opportunities and empowerment of the many talented women who are willing to serve. The new structure will be piloted in the spring of 2002 and will be introduced for approval at the 2002 national convention.

Note: Lisa Tait Longo, FH, has served as executive director jm路 the sorority since 1991.

Marianne Busch Bullock on Suzanne Kilgannon, Bl, 1996-2000 Suzanne Kilgannon brought our members greater accessibility to the national council. Due to her sense of humor and great skills in working with students, both collegians and alumnae felt more comfortable asking for help, offering suggestions and communicating needs. Suzanne made sure that everyone's voice was h eard and considered all ideas. The national council asked for a lot of input from our me mbers!

Gifts and bequ ests from alumnae helped the young foundati o n with its goals.

The result was Alpha Sigma Alpha's first strategic plan. Suzanne led us at a time of great opportunity to bring Alpha Sigma Alpha into the 21st Century. Improvements were made to the business of running the sorority; leadership development programs and membership education opportunities were enhanced as well. Suzanne helped position Alpha Sigma Alpha for its second century of growth.

After several yea rs on hiatus, the concept of soroti ty leadership schools was revisited an d the Leaders hip Developmen t Institute (LDI) was born . Na tio nal President Diane YencicJ ames, HH, and her council worked to create a leadership p rogram th at made its debut in th e summer of 1989 at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA. More developm en ts were on their way for the sorority. A stand ardized pledge education program was introduced , the Foundation continued to grow and a strategic planning committee was form ed . This committee of Linda Bonine Rogers, 6I, Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, Cindy Fun dis, EE , Vicki Vaughn Dennett, HH, Marilyn Ramsey Garbee, Bl, Mary M. Neilan, fH , and Dian e YencicJ ames, HH, was charged with outlining th e soro ri ty's needs as it moved towa rd its second cen tu ry. Following a career of service to children, Dr. S.

Beginning as a mimeographed sh eet in

THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

Suzanne Kilgannon on Kim Ramsey Meyer, BB, 1992-96 It was under Kim Meyer's direction that the national council spent time developing the sorority mission statement and engaged a marketing finn to develop a clear and concise image for the sorority. We first began to explore the significance of a mission statement to give focus and purpose to our activities nationally. After several drafts, the mission statement is now used as a touchstone for publications and as a basis for programming. The marketing firm conducted several focus groups to hear from members what they thought of their AlA experience and how they viewed the sorority. From that work the every member makes a difference campaign was created.

It was under Kim's leadership that ~A began to get noticed as a leader in the Greek community.

During her terms as national president, Diane's strong leadership provided direction for the sorority far beyond her time in office. Several key accomplishments: in 1989, the first Emma Coleman Frost Leadership Development Institute was held at Pennsylvania State University; in 1990, the S.June Smith Center was adopted as part of our national philanthropy; the sorority's first comprehensive alumnae directory was published in 1991 ; national headquarters staff began taking on a new role as our first-full time executive director was hired. Diane's calm and efficient leadership style opened a new era for Alpha Sigma Alpha, increasing educational opportunities for members and service to others.

Diane YencicJames on Rosemary Carucci Goss, BIT, 1984-88 Rosemary brought a wonderful presence to Alpha Sigma Alpha that was noted within tl1e sorority and in the Greek community. Her contributions as a leader to Alpha Sigma Alpha are many; tl1ey include presiding over the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Presidents' group, while Sidney G. Allen represented Alpha Sigma Alpha as NPC Chairman and presenting the first Crown of Excellence award to a chapter. However, the most notable contribution to Alpha Sigma Alpha Rosemary made was the legal formation of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation. Rosemary realized the importance of establishing a foundation that members could support tl1rough financial contributions, and in tum the foundation could financially support sorority endeavors.

Rosemary Carucci Goss on Rhetta Nesbitt Robinson, Bf, 1980-84 Reading the Founders' Day messages Rhetta Robinson wrote during her tenure as president, I found a strong tie to the past and recognition of our rich heritage. Rhetta was able to appreciate the past and incorporate it into future thinking about the sorority and what it needed to accomplish. Under her leadership the development fund, a first step toward th e later creation of the foundation, was implemented. But, perhaps, a more significant accomplishment during her tenure was the reorganization of tl1e national council strucntre. The size of the national coun cil was reduced from 10 to seven members with the removal of the non-voting members (headquarters executive, editor and NPGdelegate). This smaller working group could be more effective in dealing with sorority business.

In addition, field representatives (now called leadership consultants) began reporting to the vice president of collegians, not the president, as had been the practice. This move significantly impacted tl1e national president's ability to serve as a leader to help develop a vision for the sorority rather tl1an simply acting as a manager.

Also a member of natio nal coun cil from 1944-64, H elen lived a long life in service to th e sorotity. Th e namesake of th e sorority's leaders hip institutes and th e Frost Fideli ty Award , Emma Coleman Frost, IUI, di ed in February 1999.

Followi ng her generous fin ancial support of th e Foundation th roughout th e 1980s, th e schools were n amed in her honor in 1989.

T he Farmville Four, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta and Alpha Sigma Alpha sponsored a clock in honor of th e founding of th e four organizati ons at Longwood College, Farmville, VA. Th e four-sided clock was erected in 1997, and each sorority took turns dedicating its side of th e clock face. Alpha Sigma Alpha's d edicati on was conducted during its Cente nnial convention in 2000.

T he Alpha Sigma Alph a Office r Academy made its debut in 1999. Partly fund ed by th e Al pha Sigma Alpha Foundation , this annual program provides leadership development for a specific chapter offi ce .

The sorori ty's Centennial celebration began at the 2000 national conve ntion in Ri chmond, VA. Me mbers traveled back to Vi rginia, the bi rthplace of Al pha Sigma Alpha, and celebrated th e past while dreaming of th e fu n u路e. Video vignettes, live d ramas and an archives display all emphasized th e sorori ty's first 100 years.

All past livin g nati onal p residen ts attended the convention.

A visit to Longwood College, Farmville, VA, was a highlight of th e convention.

Visitors toured the Longwood campus and gazed at the Rotunda, sat on th e founders' bench and '~ewe d tl1 e Farmville Four Clock. Nancy I. Z. Reese, BY, concluded 16 years as volun tee r editor of The Phoenix and for th e first time passed th e rol e to a paid staff member, Teresa Boyer Fishback, IlK, di rector of communicati ons/ editor for the sorori ty.

The second century 2000-01 Transform ation was the definin g term for Alpha Sigma Alpha as it began its Centennial biennium . National President Mari anne Busch Bullock, BE>, began th e sorori ty's second centu ry with a su路ategy in mind. With a focus on developing women of poise and purpose, th e national council challenged itself, staff and volunteers to THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

Rhetta Nesbitt Robinson on Betty Urban Wallick, ZZ, 1976-80 Betty Wallick gave much to the sorOtity. She possessed exceptional organizational skills and used this talent in her leadership role. Encouraging tl1e use of procedm路e notebooks, revising officer handbooks, strengthening the province program and developing minimum standards for chapters are a few of the accomplishments which demonstrate how she led the sorority in a professional, organized manner. To me, the name Betty and the word, organization, are synonymous.

Betty Urban Wallick on MaryAnn Sidehammer Linton, fH, 1970-76 MaryAnn Linton guided the sorority through some perilous times. The Seventies were an era of apathy and anti-establishment views. Her youth invigorated alumnae and collegians and challenged the individualists. Province Days were established, rush techniques improved and members looked forward to their funtre. An aims and objectives committee was appointed that produced a report including goals and dreams for the sorority. In her 1975 Founders' Day message, MaryAnn shared the following words: "The following areas comprise the threshold of our dreams to take us from our 75th year to our lOOth year in Alpha Sigma Alpha ... better communication from the national council to national officers, collegians and alumnae; constructive education through The Phoenix, continued sound money management and investment; more and better training for officers at all levels; pledge education; a wellorganized national public relations program; strong colonization of chapters; a total evaluation of our national strucntre." Through the work of MaryAnn and other talented leaders, many of these sorority wishes have come true.

Note: The 1970 convention began the custom of conventions roery two years instead of troery three years. Therefore, the number ofyears for a term of office changed. MaryAnn is now MmyAnn S. Wenzel.

MaryAnn Sidehammer Wenzel on Mary Goeke Backsman, AA, 1964-70 Mary Goeke Backsman and her council created tl1 e province program that was adopted by tl1e 1970 convention body. This program defined geographic areas for leadership and assistance to be implemented at the local level rather than only from the national council. Due to her extensive legal knowledge, Mary was also notable for her contributions in committee chairmanships for the National Panhellenic Conference.

Mary Goeke Backsman on Mary Emerson Blackstone, AA, 1961-64 Mary Blackstone was one of the most hospitable women that I've ever had the opportunity to meet. She hosted a national council meeting in her home and took care of every need the council had during our stay. She was a warm and generous individual.

Mary's most notable contribution to the sorority was the creation of the traveling secretary position in 1963. Nearly 40 years later, this program is thriving and giving chapter leaders the opportunity to meet with a national officer whose age is close to their peer group.

Note: Mary Emerson Blackstone died in 1983.

Marie Scanlon Brown-Hagberg, BLl, on Jean Raup Grady, BE, 1958-61 Jean Raup Grady graciously served the sorority. H er enthusiastic leadership encouraged the collegiate and alumnae members to achieve the aim of Alpha Sigma Alpha by developing a strong esprit de corps. Jean's rapport with the members and pledges inspired them to experience true meaning and joy oflifelong ftiendships, to develop strong and lasting bonds of sisterhood and to establish a continuing loyalty to our sorority.

Note: Marie Scanlon Brown-Hagberg served as vice president .from 1961-64. j ean Raup Grady was the first to serve as president following the 28 years of leadership by Wilma Wilson Sharp, ZZ, and Evelyn G. Bell, IIII.

Editors Note: We have spent most of this issue talking about our jJast. Now it is time to look to the future. '11'hat could the sorority be in the next 100 years?" was the question posed to participants at the 2001 Officer Academy.

They were asked to write a short essay on what the future holds for Alpha Sigma Alpha. Ten of the best essays were selected to be published in the Phoenix. Below m-e five of those essays. The remaining five will be published in the next issue.

In the next 100 years, Alpha Sigma Alpha will have spread her influence throughout the entire world . Chapters will exist in England, the Netherlands and wherever women of poise and purpose exist. Since AlA has such a worldly influence h er philanthropies have changed and adapted to a more complex volunteer program for Special Olympics.

A::2:A will have sponsored 15 world competition Special Olympics. The first ceremony was hosted at Longwood College in Farmville, VA, and the DJ was none other than the first female President of the U.S. , who was also an A::2:A. The S. June Smith Center will have changed its name to the S.June Smith World Organization and continues its help with children and parents of young children with special needs all over the world.

Alpha Sigma Alpha will receive the Nobel Peace Prize as an organization for its work in btinging the world together in these ways.

-Megan Smith Beta Sigma In one hundred years, Alpha Sigma Alpha will be one of the largest international sororities in the world with chapters in over 50 countries. Most chapters will have education over the internet which leaves more time for community service projects. Sisters from all over the world will be able to travel from one place to another in seconds so we could help volunteer in Africa one day and the U.S. the next.

THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

The mission statement will be written in 36 different languages and will be more open to other cultures' ideas.

There will be songs from each country and computers will be able to translate each language. Conventions will be held over the internet with thousands of people in attendance all over the world.

All these people having the same dreams and believing in the same ideals. All loving one another with the same bonds, and all calling each other, sisters.

-Vanessa Clark Zeta Lambda I think that the sorority will be different in many ways, changing with the different goals of time. I believe our purpose will be the same, as well as sisterhood. Opportunities I'm sure will be different, for example each decade there are more and more opportunities for each member, especially those in positions. I believe that Alpha Sigma Alpha will be one of the oldest, still existing sororities.

New sororities will look up to the ideals and goals we have set for ourselves.

I believe that we may have larger chapters since more students are attending college. Also, there will be more interactions between chapters when they are close to each other. It is important to si}are ideas nationally with one another. It adds to the diversity of incredible women who are members of our beloved sorority.

I also believe we will continue to recruit the same type of creative individuals, which makes us a unique organization. I have a feeling we will enrich our history through the many accomplishments of each chapter. I also believe we will continue to contradict stereotypes placed on Greeks by sharing to others what we are all about. We're not just a bunch of pretty faces, but a bunch of incredible women whose beauty is much more than skin deep!

- Amber Heintz Delta Iota

Alpha Sigma Alpha will still be thriving 100 years from now. Just as the women have changed the past 100 years, the young women of AlA in 2101 will be pioneers of their own generation. The times change but I believe that AlA's meaning will remain the same. We are so different from the founders but we all believe in the same ideas and principles.

Those ideas and principles will carry through the next 100 years just as they have the first 100 years.

The sorority is a working piece of art, each year something is added to make it more beautiful. This beauty flourishes every year. In 100 years it will be much more beautiful than it is today.

-Jessica Godwinz Zeta Rho Looking at our past and how we've evolved, I believe our mission, vision and values will stay the same as it has for the past 100 years. The words may change, but the meaning will remain the same.

I believe the type of women we recruit will change. In an age where a technology is continually increasing, technology will play a role in recruitment. Recruitment of those who receive their education via the internet will be challenging. The direction women are headed is constantly changing, therefore what they're looking for in a sorority will also.

Our location of chapters will change also. I believe AlA will continue its growth south and west. By 2101 A::2:A may even be an international sorority, branching out over the ocean and across the borders.

I see women being more involved as alumnae and as national volunteers. I see more alumnae chapters being chartered and more volunteers-nationwide, maybe even worldwide.

I see our diversity among members continuing to grow. Women of different backgrounds, ethnicity, etc. With the diversity, I see new philanthropic projects being organized and new programming initiatives.

CENTENNIAL WRAP UP

National narcissus planting project

BY FRANCES JOBSON FRANCIS, BE Centennial Celebration Committee Member Th e cooperati on , in terest, enthusiasm and efforts of Alpha Sigma Alpha collegians and alumnae was ou tstanding for th e first in the series of even ts to celebrate th e fo unding of the sorori ty 100 years ago. Over 10,000 Virginia narcissus bulbs were planted in the fall of 1999 an d bloomed in th e spring of 2000, providing a delicate blanket of white, yellow and gold all across th e Uni ted States. Th e lovely fl owers bloomed on college cam puses, sch ools, librari es, n ursing homes, th e Women 's Bean Proj ect h eadquarters in Denver and in the yards and garde ns of hu nd reds of individuals and sorori ty houses.

Not o nly does the Narcissus Planting Proj ect mark th e Centenn ial, it has a d eeper meaning for all Alpha Sigma Alpha mem bers. As Ki m Ramsey Meye r, BB, centennial celebration committee chairman wrote, "The narcissus re presen ts th e discovery and growth that is possible th rough life time me mbership. T he narcissus rem inds us th at self-co nfidence comes fro m self-k nowledge and that the abil ity to reach a high er poten tial is possible th rough personal transformati on." It is the hope of th e Centen nial Celebration Commi ttee that each member wh o d evoted time to th e planting and care of th e bu lbs will enjoy the lovely flowers and find th e satisfacti on of pride of participation for several years to come, especially d urin g th e Cen tennial year. Each blossom is a reminder of a special member and th e th ousands of lives touched by th e love and power of membership.

Spring 2001 was even more colorful as th e narcissus bulbs began their second growing season . As a reminder for the care of the narcissus, bulb grower and supplier, Granvi lle H all of Glo ucester, VA, has these tips to pass along: A top mulch of two to three inches of p ine straw will be helpful in controlling weeds and conserving moisture. From first emergence until blooming time, watering to th e equivalent of one inch of weekly rainfall will improve the quality of the blossoms. A ground cover such as small leaf periwinkle (Vinca min or) will provide green ery throughout th e growing season .

Day lilies are also good companions for the narcissus. They wi ll not only provide THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

an extended season of colorful blooms in a narcissus garden, they will suck up extra m oisture during the summer- an enemy of bulbs.

The Centennial Celebration Committee thanks each member for participating in th e National Narcissus Planting Project, a wonderful visual reminder of our sisterhood- lOG years of making a difference.

Centennial newsletters Over 5,000 centennial newsletters were mailed to 15 ch apters and their alumnae this past spring. The Centennial Communique was the brainchild of th e Centennial celebrati on committee. The committee had several goals in mind for this proj ect. Two important goals we re ge tting members excited about Centennial even ts and ge tting alumnae involved in th e celebration .

Last fall all collegiate chapters, both closed and open , were given the opportun ity to take advan tage of this free newsletter. Fifteen chapters participated in th e program , three of which we re closed chapters. Each chapter 's centennial chairman wrote th e text for th e insert. They we re to write about things th at were specific to their chapters. The outside text was written by National President Marianne Busch Bullock, B0, who also served on th e Centennial celebration committee. T he outside text talked about th e cruise, national narcissus planting project, Founders' Day lun cheons, merchandise

and oth er centennial related proj ects.

Alumnae volunteer Nina Barber, AA, was the editor for the newsletter.

Director of Programming j ennifer Griggs said a huge "thank you" goes out to th e chapter's cen tennial chairmen who wrote these articles. "I am thankful that they took advantage of this opportun ity to reach out to th eir alumnae."

FOUNDATION ANNUAL SISTERHOOD APPEAL

An investment in sisterhood

BY&.Ea:~I&Aa:.

MAXWElL ZIRINGER, fH Foundation Chainnan Why did I join a sororir•? To tell the truth, I really can't remember. Thinking back, maybe I joined a orority for that "home awav from home" feeling we all hear about.

Maybe I joined a ororil)• because I thought I would meet orne new people.

If that was trul • m · motivation in joining a Greek organization, then my expectation were definitely met. I did find a place to call my O\ n at the Penn •lvania tate niversil)' and my Gamma Eta i ters have prove n to be some of the be t friend a woman could ask for.

What is the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation?

Our Purpose: To enhance Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority's efforts to develop women of poise and purpose.

Our Mission: To invest in the potential of women by promoting service, leadership and scholarship.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation was founded in 1986, 85 years after the sorority. The Foundation is a separate organization from the sorority and has its own board of trustees and its own staff. Though the Foundation and the sorority are separate entities, the Foundation is essential to the success and the future of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Together they work hand in hand to develop women of poise and purpose.

In an effort to fulfill its mission, the Foundation supports educational and leadership programs, offers academic scholarships, assists children with developmental delays at the S. June Smith Center and supports Special Olympics. The Foundation is able to continue its programs through the voluntary contribution from Alpha Sigma Alpha members and chapters, friends of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and matching gifts from donors' employers.

Leadership has its advantages

BY JANE COX LIND, BY Programming Assistant The 2001 Leadership Development Institutes were held in St. Louis, MO, and Baltimore, MD, June 15-17. Women from across the United States benefited from Emma Coleman Frost's dream of enriching the lives of collegiate women through personal leadership development.

The program curriculum, which was developed for emerging leaders, divided the participants into small groups ofl0-12 women to engage in discussions focused on diversity, service learning and social change.

The institutes started with a presentation from the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation. Sidney Allen, in St. Louis, and Joanne Zabaldo, in Baltimore, who spoke about d1eir memories of Emma Coleman Frost and the importance of being a good historian. Later that evening, the women participated in an activity that allowed them to discuss issues affecting their chapter and share ideas and concerns. Topics ranged from minority recruitment to motivation for total chapter involvement.

Throughout the weekend, the AIA Foundation sponsored a "Sky oflnspiration." Participants could purchase a star to honor someone who has been an inspiration to them. An "unofficial" contest was held as each site challenged the other to contribute more funds. Two $1,000 site match donations and a generous $5,000 donation by Lois V. Beers, Bf, were added

to the final total to help the Foundation raise over $10,000.

Saturday morning the curriculum focused on diversity, inclusion and privileges. Participants were given seven inclusion action strategies: 1. Get in touch with stereotypes and prejudices 2. Open your mind to other view points and listen 3. Learn about other groups 4. Express respect and appreciation 5. Open up to intuition and empathy 6. Build trust 7. Work with diverse people toward common goals Later, the discussions defined service learning as "a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development." Through a partnership with Project An1erica, the participants engaged in a variety of service projects.

In Baltimore, the entire delegation was transported to Garden Harvest, an organic collective garden that produces fresh fruits and vegetables for Baltimore area homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Through the rain, the women prepared two quarteracre fields for planting. Since the garden is organic, no pesticides are used to prevent weeds or insect infestation and fields are prepared by placing large pieces of card-

board on the ground and covering it with wood chips and manure. Some women were able to plant eggplant, tomato and pepper plants.

In St. Louis, the participants were divided into 11 service projects that included visiting seriously ill and abused children and playing bingo with the elderly. One group helped with a large mailing for Multiple Sclerosis, while another group visited a small block community where they helped a local food pantry, did office work and visited with residents at their street fair. A majority of the groups helped pick up trash, cleared brush and tree limbs or helped clean out abandoned apartments.

Project An1erica calculated the joint value of these services projects was 1,000 hours oflabor or $6,000.

On Saturday night, the women shared their experiences from the service projects, participated in a social change inventory and continued leadership discussions. The social change inventory helped the participants assess their understanding of social change leadership theory, civic leadership, change and collaboration.

On Sunday morning, the women were able to meet with their chapter members to discuss what they had learned throughout the weekend. These conversations gave the women a chance to relate their experiences and lessons, to identify changes that could be initiated in their own chapter and to determine how each of their members could make a difference.

Garden Harvest Inc. is a non-for-profit organic farm located northwest of Baltimore, MD. Their mission is to alleviate hunger and improve nutrition for d1e disadvantaged citizens of Maryland.

The organization has two main objectives: 1. To feed the hungry by distributing top quality fresh organic vegetables to the soup kitchens, shelters and emergency food pantries that feed needy individuals.

2. To educate and train people in the methods of organic farming, sustainable agriculture and nutritional eating.

As a pilot program in 1994, they grew and donated 35,000 pounds of produce with the help of 330 volunteers. Each year the operation has grown and currently is serving 48 emergency food agencies throughout the state.
