Historical Virginia

Natural Bridge

Virginia is majestic mountains, freshwater fishing, a land of battlefield parks, beautiful beaches, and many historical sites such as the Capitol at Richmond, Colonial Williamsburg, Arlington, Mount Vernon, Jamestown, and Shenandoah.

Virginia is whatever you love.

It is a land of Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley. Near both, you'll find one of the valley's most majestic wonders, Natural Bridge, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

The Indians called the 215-foot-high arch the "Bridge of God." George Washington surveyed it, and Thomas J ff rson, who consider d it the "most 2

sublime of Nature's works," bought it from King George III for 30 shillings.

Only a few miles from Natural Bridge, in Lexington, Robert E. Lee's Washington and Lee University Office is exactly the way he left it the day he died. The only home Stonewall Jackson ever owned is in Lexington. Facing VMI is the George C. Marshall Library and Museum.

Shenandoah is indeed a land of giants.

Make plans now to attend the 22nd National Convention of Alpha Sigma Tau in Natural Bridg Virginia. Bring our families and see th ight that m k Virginia a very unique tat .

Convention Honor Roll Convention is a wonderful time to honor personal and chapter achievement. It is always a tradition to recognize those alumnae and collegiate chapters, advisors, and individuals who have done an extra fine job in making Alpha Sigma Tau a great sorority.

Natural Bridge Hotel

SCHOLARSHIP CUPS are awarded to the chapter who has maintained the highest grade point average. If a chapter should have the highest grades for three consecutive years, the cup becomes the permanent property for that chapter to proudly display.

INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT is recognized for those collegiates who have maintained a four-point average (on a fourpoint scale).

SCRAPBOOKS are displayed at each convention and an award is presented to the chapters having the best scrapbooks.

SONGS bring joy and memory to all, and to those composers and lyricists, there is an award. The award is presented to the collegiate chapters and alumnae chapters presenting the best original song.

The ADA A. NORTON ALUMNAE AWARD recognizes alumnae who have been of loyal service to Alpha Sigma Tau. The CARRIE W. STAEHLE ALUMNAE AWARD is presented to alumnae advisors for exceptional service to a collegiate chapter and the sorority.

N ation.al Pan.hellen.ic Con.feren.ce 45th Session-Tulsa, Oklahoma Alpha Sigma Tau was represented by Sybil King, national president; Anna Margaret Rhodes, NPC delegate; Cynthia McCrory and Sue Brown, NPC alternate delegates; and Dana Haggard, director of fraternity programs.

AST was represented at pre-session meetings which included the college panhellenics, alumnae panhellenics, and resolutions committee. Mrs. King attended the presidents' meeting while other members attended editors' and central office executive meeting.

Alpha Taus were busy attending housing and campus meetings which involved colleges which have collegiate chapters.

The sessions dealt with such things as standing committees, NPC and the IRS, campus concerns of today, and resolutions.

Many of the NPC groups entertained with receptions at various times during the session. We also attended a breakfast given

by Alpha Phi to celebrate NPC's first seventy-five years. Pollacks Restaurant entertained the delegation with a picnic followed by a special showing of the movie "Fraternity Row." We also attended a luncheon sponsored by the Tulsa Alumnae Panhellenic. This included a fashion show with Indian design theme.

By attending NPC we are able to solve common problems while at the same time, we are receiving ideas which help us in our internal organization procedures. When we have sufficient representation at these meetings, we will become a stronger, more efficient national organization.

-Anna Margaret Rhodes

The Greek System Flourishes The biennial meeting of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) in October reflected a spirit of confidence and a feeling of well-being that comes from knowing that the Greek system is again flourishing and returning to a position of importance on the American college campus.

The indicators of this success are like stock market statistics. For the fourth consecutive year, women's fraternities show a continued upward trend in membership.

Whereas the 1973-75 biennium shows a 9.6 percent gain over the two previous years, the 1977 report indicates approximately a 9.5 percent increase over the last biennium. New members during the 197577 biennium total 100,228, an increase of 5.2 new members over the last accounting period.

It should be noted that the new colony group is 42, compared to 37 two years ago which brings NPC closer to the all-time

10

high of 1967-69. Lost chapters are being replaced and the gain now outweighs the loss with 95 new chapters reported this biennium, compared to seven, two years ago.

As encourging as the statistics are, NPC is not a group to become complacent with success. Mrs. McKeenman expressed a concern that area advisors are acutely aware of, the problem of too many women dropping out of rush. Rush registration has indeed increased. The number of girls pledged is everclimbing, but the size of the group that registers for rush and then drops out before pledging is a statistic which calls for a plan of action. Thorough orientation of rushees, a realistic rush schedule, and a sound system of counseling rushees are the key factors in reducing the dropout rate. A new booklet, "Rush Counseling . . . a Positive Program " ha joined the NPC line of publications and is available to all coil g Panh 11 ni .

Amendments to College Panhellenic Agreement An amendment was made to the College Panhallenic Agreement which clarified disciplinary procedures for infraction of major and minor violation of rush rules. Suggestions for constructive penalties were outlined and guidelines set to delineate specifically what constitutes major and minor infractions in rush. 0 The amendment also reaffirms a chapter's right to continuous open bidding during the school year if the chapter has not reached its total allowable size.

New wording in the College Panhellenic Agreement reemphasizes the signing of a preference card is binding to the extent that a rushee shall be considered ineligible for one calendar year to accept a bid from any fraternity on the same campus (other than the one from which she received the bid).

Other resolutions dealt with the rights of chapters in other areas which needed clarification: THE TRANSFER MEMBER -if a chapter is at total and wishes to affiliate a transfer member, it may do so even though the addition of that member will put it over total. THE REPLEDGEa girl who is repledged to a chapter is not

included in the year's new quota, but is counted in the chapter's total.

A strong stand was taken on alcohol abuse with NPC encouraging the sponsorship of education programs to emphasize the dangers involved in alcohol abuse.

Another resolution supporting the previous recommendation by NPC to college panhellenics that the use of alcoholic beverages during rush be prohibited, was supported by a decision to again mail to all college panhellenics a reprint of the 1975 resolution.

New NPC officers installed for the next biennium were: Chairman, Mrs. W. F. Williamson (Phi Mu), Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Secretary, Miss Minnie Mae Prescott (Kappa Delta), Springfield, Missouri; and Treasurer, Mrs. David Barbee, (Sigma Sigma Sigma), Aspen, Colorado.

The Birmingham Alumnae Panhellenic (BAP) began its new year in May 1977 with installation of officers. BAP was honored to have AST's own Sybil King perform the installation as Betti Shores, Birmingham alumnae past president was installed as 1977-78 president.

Projects of BAP include a scholarship award, luncheon, and open house in May for graduating high school seniors.

The scholarship goes to an upper-classman who is a resident of Jefferson County and attends a college in Birmingham. The money is used to help pay dues and other mandatory chapter expenses for a college girl having financial needs. This year's luncheon will be held in May at the Hyatt House. There will be a guest speaker and each group will have a display telling about their national philanthropies. High school seniors and their mothers will be able to talk with representatives. Last year was the first year for this luncheon and it was a big success and AST was the best represented with the most members attending.

Tara Mahoney is AST's Panhellenic representative for the Zeta Chapter at Lockhaven State College (LSC). Through her involvement with Panhellenic, Tara became a member of the All-Campus Judicial Board which is concerned with enforcing the laws on campus.

Kenda Whitner is also a member of LSC Panhellenic and is treasurer. Kenda is also chairman of Greek Weekend held in the spring of each year.

Alpha Epsilon's Peggy Maher was Panhellenic publicity chairman at Western Illinois University. Peggy planned a mass advertising campaign to recruit new girls on campus for rush. She also constructed a rush booklet for incoming rushees which advertises "The Greek Way of Life."

Viki Smith was special events chairman for fall and winter quarters. Viki helped coordinate Greek Week which included Greek olympics, variety night, faculty appreciation day, sorority-fraternity dinner exchange, Greek night at the bars, Greek day football game, and trick-or-treat for multiple sclerosis. Other members involved in Greek Week were Amy DePalma, Lisa Wildman, and Barb Siedler who was just elected as new AST Panhellenic representative.

Panhellenic just elected officers, and Trudy Bolin was elected vice president Kristin Frakes was elected treasurer, and Viki Smith was elected treasurer.

This year, Alpha Epsilons won several Panhellenic awards including the scholarship award and two homecoming awards.

Kathi Jo Burker, a sophomore at Clarion State College has been on the Panhellenic for a year. This year, Clarion Panhellenic had its annual dance marathon to benefit Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Kathi is chairman for the marathon and fund-raising committee of Panhellenic. CSC Panhellenic is also getting ready for rush and committees are being set up for Greek Week. Taus hope to take overall first-place again as in the last two years.

Tracy Massack is senior Panhellenic representative and chairman of the publicity and public relations of the Slippery Rock Panhellenic (SRP). Tracy is a junior at SR majoring in recreation and is active in many other organizations besides the sorority.

Patty Barich is junior Panhellenic representative and active with the social committee. Patty is a sophomore majoring in math.

Mter returning from the Christmas holidays, the SRP began the semester with rush-a first, since rush is usually later in the semester. In trying to promote the Greek system, members plan to make and hang banners and signs with their Greek letters at the basketball games and wrestling matches. Sororities also plan to wear their letters and eat together in the cafeteria on an assigned day.

Last semester, SRP held a "Carnival of Information." Its purpose was to support the whole Greek system. Panhellenic set up booths, had refreshments, entertainment and was there to provide information for those inquiring about sororities.

Denise Panyik, a sophomore, is Beta Eta's representative to the Fraternity-Sorority Conference (FSC). Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville does not have a Panhellenic on campus. The FSC is composed of eighteen fraternities and sororities.

Seeking neither to govern nor regulate its members, FSC coordinates cohesiveness between Greek organizations as well as as-

sists in planning functions - representing male and female, black and white.

As a representative, Denise voices Beta Eta's opinions at the meeting which are held every first Tuesday.

Jerrie Smith, Rho Chapter president; Donell Williamson, senior Panhellenic representative (and secretary and treasurer); Darlene Webb, chapter representative and Sue Brown, alum chapter representative help draw up the schedule for formal and informal rush. Southeastern State College (SSC) has a Panhellenic banquet each spring when awards are given out for each sorority, plus awards for the best overall sorority, and the group with the highest grade point average, and the sorority girl of the year.

During formal rush, Rho has helped put together a rush booklet which helps rushees.

It contains information about sororities and what they offer, explains the purpose of Panhellenic and what rush means, and gives information on each sorority and their dues.

The booklet also lists Panhellenic rules for formal rush, definitions of words commonly used by the sororities, how to dress during rush, rush etiquette, examples of invitation

and a calendar. The booklet is only given to each rushee during formal rush.

During the fall semester, Panhellenic serves refreshments to parents at Parents' Day. Fall semester, AST's Chi chapter joined with Panhellenic at Shepherd College (SC) to have a dinner in the basement of the cafeteria. All three NPC sororities were there. Members sang the new song written for Panhellenic. SC Greeks had T-shirts made with the slogan "It's Great to be Greek."

This spring, SC Panhellenic is having a dessert party at the president's home. Certificates will be given to the "All around Sister," "Scholastic Sister," and "Most Active Sister" of each sorority.

In December, the Panhellenic at Henderson State College held a Christmas party for fifty Clark County foster children.

Alpha Gamma AST's helped buy the presents and serve punch and cookies. Santa was there and one girl played her guitar while members sang Christmas carols.

A senior at Marietta College (MC), Wendy Binder has been involved with Panhellenic for three years. She served as president, vice president, and assistant treasurer. The objectives of the Marietta Panhellenic are to maintain a harmonious relationship between sororities on campus.

One Panhellenic project is a television show, "Quiz Bowl," of which Wendy is producer. The show is based upon the old "College Bowl" and pits sorority against fraternity-the purpose is to promote scholarship. The IFC with which Wendy is involved has a vote on the homecoming committee and helps plans homecoming for the school. Between rush, homecoming, "Quiz Bowl," and sorority sing, the MC Greeks are always busy.

Radford College Panhellenic (RCP) consists of seven NPC sororities. RCP is always busy planning functions for each quarter including a bowl-a-thon for the March of Dimes, and Easter egg hunt for the faculty children.

Social Functions include a Valentine gettogether with all Greeks. Greek Week plans for the spring are already underway.

Activities such as flooding the campus with a "Go Greek" balloons, a Greek feast, and game day are just a few activities on the agenda for the week.

Last year, AST was named most spirited at Greek Week and AST Mary Conniff was crowned Greek Queen.

In most of the social functions, RCP works with the IFC organizing and planning which brings the sisters and brothers of Radford closer together. AST's plan to attend the Panhellenic seminar in the spring at Virginia Tech.

Alums ... Working Together Birmingham Bakes for Fun The first meeting of the 1977-78 year for Birmingham Alumnae was in September when newly elected officers were installed. Officers installed included Ginny Becker, president; Susan Vogt, vice president; Norma Virgone, secretary; Terry Holladay, treasurer; Delores Falls, chaplain; Becky Ricks, historian, and Dianne Scucchi, social service chairman.

Founders' Day was a special day for Birmingham Alumnae and Beta Zetas at UAB. For the second year, alums provided everything from coffee to cokes, from cheesestraws to streudel for a brunch for all ASTs in the area. This year's event brought even more members together than last year. Terry Dudley was named "Outstanding Alumna", a Founders' Day tradition begun three years ago.

Susan Vogt's unique idea for a December get-together turned out to be a super one. Each alum brought six dozen cookies and enough copies of their favorite recipe to pass along. Members sipped cocoa and spiced tea, sampled cookies in front of a warming fire, and exchanged Christmas gifts at Dianne Scucchi's home. Special guest at the meeting was Susan McCarley, expansion coordinator.

Buffalo Alumnae Aid Zoo President Sally Wales welcomed everyone to the September meeting at the home of Nancy Noble. Lillian Gondree announced the exciting programs planned for the year.

On October 17th, at the home of Dolores Schmidt, the Buffalo Zoo director told of the improvements at the zoo and the master plan for the zoo that is fast becoming a reality.

Fern Phipps joined alums at the meetting when she came to Buffalo to explore

22

the possibilities of colonizing on the two state university campuses located in Buffalo. Buffalo has been without a local collegiate chapter since 1957. At that time, all national sororities and fraternities were ordered off all New York State campuses. Just this past year the state decided that national sororities and fraternities could return.

November was really a busy month.

Founders' Day chairman, Edie Eckert planned a delightful luncheon and invited the League of Women Voters to speak to us.

Lillian Gondree was hostess of the November dessert meeting when members took "a walk through the art gallery" via a slide presentation.

Ways and means chairman Helene Blackledge planned a '"bring a guest party." Members tasted tea and cheese and raised money for our treasury.

During the Christmas holidays Buffalo alums had their monthly meeting and exchanged presents. A Christmas punch party was held at the home of Janet Bartlett.

Clarion Taus Celebrate First Anniversary As the northern population prepares for another change of season, likewise, the alumnae chapter of the Clarion State College Taus prepare to celebrate their first official anniversary with the onslaught of new ideas, projects and events.

Since the day that the chapter was presented their charter at the Founders' Day dinner in 1976, members have reached a total of eight regular and eleven associate members. Meetings and activities of the past year have covered a variety of subjects ranging from flower designing to discussing the merits of entertaining with wine and cheese.

During homecoming weekend '77, alums gathered for their first meeting of the fall term and agreed that this was to be a year of emphasis on aiding the collegiate chapter during their rush and pledging activities. The collegiate members delivered a list of areas where special help was needed, and both they and the alums have developed various solutions to alleviate some of these difficulties.

Money-making schemes and social service projects for the aged are also in the planning stages. The goal of the alums for the coming year leans toward membership growth, and a stronger bond of understanding and mutual development with the collegiate chapter. .If. the initial undertakings and optimrstrc outlook are any indications of success, Clarion alumnae will achieve their goal.

-Michelle Morozek

Fundraisers And Fun Are Detroit I Aims The Detroit I Chapter is back in full swing after a short break during the summer months. September and October meetings were spent catching up on everything new and exciting that has happened to members. Taus also did some planning for the coming year.

Among plans discussed was the Founders' Day luncheon. The prospect of having the luncheon at the brand new (and very exclusive) Fairlane Manor in Dearborn, Michigan November 5 was greeted with enthusiasm by the gals from Detroit I. Other plans discussed were the annual Christmas Party and fundraising projects.

These included a stationary sale, garage sale, an A&P donation day and a candy sale as part of a project for the Detroit Panhellenic Association. Two Detroit I members, Sue Roman and Carol Harvilla, are busy members of the committee which plans the Detroit Panhellenic Association Annual Luncheon. With these and many other activities, it is easy to see that Detroit I is as busy as ever.

THE ANCHOR

Detroit Ill ... Continuing Tradition September reunion provided an update of the past few months of activities and constituted a planning session for the coming year.

Barbara Koscierzynski hosted the October meeting at which she took orders for greeting and note cards which will provide profits to be sent to Pine Mountain. Slides telling the story of the Pine Mountain Environmental Education Center were shown to stimulate sales.

Founders Day was a chance for the chapters to come together at Fairlane Cente.r in Dearborn. The gathering of Detrort I, Detroit Ill, Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor, and Theta chapters was a regional reunion for many to renew acquaintances with sisters at this traditional event. Chairperson Sue Roman made the day an interesting one for all.

Weather conditions deteriorated fast prior to the Christmas party at Ernita Sowell's home in December. A number of determined alumnae were able to drive t~rough the snow and enjoy the pot luck drnner. The chance to have husbands dates a~d friends gather for a pre-holiday celebratron was another traditional event on the calendar. Humorous gifts were exchanged which provided additional laughs and entertainment. Plans for the future include another interest tour and lunch at the Detroit Institute of Arts and a March social service project for the emotionally impaired children.

-Rose Marie Schmidt

Edwardsville Makes Family Additions The May meeting for Edwardsville Illinois Alumnae was a busy one. Ne~ officers were elected and a calendar for coming events was planned. Gloria Durbin and Vickie Dean were also inducted at the meeting. Congratulations and welcome!

In August a large group of alumnae gathered for a night out at the Goldenrod Showboat in St. Louis, Missouri.

A special announcement was made at the September meeting-Kim Brunworth announced her engagement! Much hap-

23

piness to Kim and her new husband for the future.

November 1, Edwardsville celebrated Founders' Day with the St. Louis Alumnae.

The dinner was held at Schneithorst's Restaurant in St. Louis.

Congratulations to the following couples and their new additions. Don and Jeanne Brunworth-a boy; Dana and Marcia Tennill-a boy and a girl-twins ; and Gary and Linda Forrester-a boy.

We closed with the annual Christmas party. What better way to end a year and look forward to the next than with friends?

Miami Plans Ahead Now is the time for all good Miami sisters to come to the aid of their chapter.

And Miami alums are!

Having finished last year's meetings on a light note with a June pool party at Jan Granier's home, members have gotten down to " brass tacks" for this new year beginning with an organizational meeting at Kay Derr's. The evening was wellattended. Members selected officers for 1977-78, discussed possible social service projects, the June 1978 convention in Natural Bridge, and ways of increasing our membership.

The girls had the Founders Day meeting at Betty Snidow's new home and the Christmas meeting at the home of president Sue Bossong.

Santa also kept a scheduled Christmas Eve stop at Metairie, leaving packages of cheer to a family of three adults and six children.

In late December, Anita Gradwohl treated N. 0. girls to Christmas in her home again. Members relaxed and enjoyed the season with drinks, foods, games, songs, and a gift exchange.

As the end of '77 approached, memories of well-spent days loomed. Money-making and social service projects turned into demonstrations of an alumnae group's purpose. Once again, sisters found the true meaning of Alpha Sigma Tau. -Kathleen Seeger

Norfolk Area Alumnae June found the Norfolk Area Alums enjoying a cookout with husbands and guests at the home of Betsy Russ. But, come September, it was back to work again, as members manned a booth at the annual Panhellenic Flea Market.

Norfolk's new president, Robbie Cool, hosted the October meeting and led members in a brainstorming session to plan activities and programs for the coming year. Some new ideas included a ladies only social at a dinner theater, a family outing at the beach during the summer, as well as programs on cake decorating and other crafts. The girls decided, for the second year, to provide Christmas for a foster child in the Norfolk Welfare program.

It is a pleasure to announce that Psi Chapter at James Madison University once again received Norfolk's $25 award for having the highest scholastic average among the state chapters. Congratulations, girls!

November has traditionally meant a Founders Day luncheon and this year was no exception. A covered dish luncheon and recipe exchange was planned to be at the home of Betsy Russ. Alums look forward to continued success and fun together and invite all sisters in the Tidewater area to join.

Norristown Works With Retarded Children The 1977-78 year got off to a good start at Norristown's first meeting in September. After catching up on all the summer news, and electing new officers, plans were made for a busy and fun-filled year.

One of the first decisions was to make the meetings twofold by encouraging all members to bring a craft to work on during the meeting.

The October meeting was for planning a second annual garage sale held November 5 which yielded a nice profit.

Founders Day was celebrated at the November meeting with a candlelight ceremony, and initiation of new members.

Members also worked on a social service project-making Christmas ornaments to donate to Rivercrest Center, a local home for retarded children. They used them for decoration of their units and were sold in their shop on grounds.

Another social service project was to donate money to the Rivercrest Center to help buy a pony saddle for the children to use.

The Christmas meeting was our third annual cookie exchange. It was another Christmas of good fun, good cooking and too many extra calories, but members loved every minute of it.

-Helen Bomberger

Northern Virginia Helps Plan Charity Bazaar The Northern Virginia alums celebrated summer with an outing io August. All alumnae and their families in the area were invited to join in the fun. It was held in the rolling countryside of Virginia, not too far from the home of Mary Charles Ashby. Those who attended enjoyed a dip in the pool and food cooked on outdoor grills.

The annual pot luck supper was held in September at the home of Diane Helbing in Vienna. After sampling favorite dishes, members settled down to make final plans for a booth at the charity bazaar to be held at Tysons Corner Shopping Center, October 20-21. This year,

25

seventy-five no-profit organizations participated.

Members worked all year preparing for the two-day bazaar. After selling handmade holiday crafts, baked goods and plants, N. V. alums were pleased to report that they netted close to $600. AST social service projects, of course, will reap the benefits of the members' labor.

Sisters celebrated Founders Day with a luncheon at the Olney Inn at Olney, Maryland. This year, Northern Virginia had the pleasure of having the Prince GeorgesMontgomery alums join them and renewing old friendships.

-Debby Kahanowitz

Richmond-Petersburg Varies Programs A busy year came to an end in June with an evening out. Sisters and their mates and dates met at Carol Eubanks for hors d'oeuvres and cocktails before a delicious dinner at the Foxhead Inn. Sisters began the fall program with a planning and business meeting at Patti Bliley's. In October, everyone attended a plant party at the home of Ann Cook.

Richmond-Petersburg Alumnae are looking forward to the remainder of the year as plans have been made for many interesting programs.

Roanoke Alumnae Chapter Works With Mental Health Services Members of the Roanoke Alumnae Chapter anxiously began the new year in August with an organizational meeting.

New officers for the 1977-78 year are: president, Molly McKee Scanlan; vice president, Beth Daniels Fuquay; corresponding secretary, Ann Marie Griffin; treasurer, Judy Layman; recording secretary, Debra Grzanka; social service, Donna Yuhas; editor, Leslee Karen Wade; historian, Bittsy Reed Hall, and chaplain, Billie Dawn Miller Howell.

During the summer months, as a part of the social service project, several sisters volunteered their time with Roanoke Mental Health Services. Once a week,

26

members worked directly with several emotionally disturbed young people. Individual attention was given to the young people to help with recreational activities, crafts, and development of persona I habits. Plans are being made concerning the possibility of a Christmas party for the children at the mental health center or possibly adopting a child needing cultural enrichment.

In September, members gathered to welcome Ms. Karen Farris to a membership meeting. The evening was most enjoyable as sisters caught up on "old times" and got to know one another better.

During October, Roanoke had a successful fund-raising project-selling stationery. They also plan to sell kitchen knives. A portion of the funds raised were donated to the emotionally disturbed programs in Roanoke schools. Ms. Francis Humphries, teacher of the emotionally disturbed, visited our October meeting.

Founders Day was observed November 3, at the Charcoal Steak House. Alums celebrated with dinner followed by a rededication ceremony-renewing our bond of sisterhood.

Sisters in the Roanoke area are invited to join our chapter. If interested, please call 563-1781. A happy and successful year to all.

Shepherdstown AlumsWomen In Today's Society After a summer of no meetings, the Shepherdstown Chapter opened the new year with new officers and new program ideas. September's meeting found members planning a social service project, Christmas Party, Founders Day Celebration, and several other exciting events.

Most interesting was the October meeting.

Two special guests entertained the group.

Mrs. Janice Christopher of the Berkeley County Board of Education led a discussion concerning the "Role of Women in Today's Society." Following this, members were musically entertained by a local young vocalist Miss Paula Baker.

Next on the agenda, was the annual Founders Day Dinner with Chi Chapter

gals. For a change of pace this year, Taus are moving our group to a local steak house for this event.

Tri-City-Seven Come Eleven Tri-City alumnae were very lucky to add four members increasing the average attendance from seven to eleven. Some of the girls are from Alpha Eta, a former chapter from Alma College.

What a wonderful way to begin the year with new faces and ideas as well as a new president Kris Flora. Officers include Marilyn Halstead, vice president; Sandy Cappell, recording secretary; Fran Sie~s, corresponding sec ret a ry; Jean Ead1e, treasurer; Roni Bailey, historian; and Carla Young, editor.

A delightful Chinese luncheon was the highlight of the first gathering in Midland to plan a rummage sale. The sale was in the garage of Pat Close in September with much success. An assortment of toys, games, and puzzles wa~ contrib.u~ed to the Saginaw County Child Rece1v1ng Home, a facility for children separated from their families in time of crisis.

Eileen Hamilton, who recently returned from Ohio, hosted the September meeting. The year's calendar and plans were completed.

An October workshop, headed by Sandy Cappell, brought all eleven members to Fran Siems' home. Members broke green glass bottles and transformed the pieces into cut glass wreath ornaments complete with red bows and berries.

Several Beta alums attended Central Michigan University's October 29 Homecoming game.

The traditional Founders Day pot-luck dinner was celebrated November 3 at Roni Bailey's home. .

"To-gather"-Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor September in Michigan seems to signal a time "to-gather." School supplies and clothing for students need to be gathered; the fallen leaves from summer's end need to be gathered; the garden hose, patio umbrella table, and lawnmower need to be gathered and placed in storage for winter's inevitable approach. Therefore, it seems only natural that September also signals the time for the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau to gather to share their memories of summer's activities, place them in storage, and prepare to carry out fall's sorority program goals.

Consequently, September 12 was a busy evening at the home of president Marilyn Christy. As the punch cups clattered, members chattered exuberantly about the approaching national convention and plans for the next successive months ..

October's meeting was super! The g1rls sew a purse demonstration of handcrafted purses made of knit, leather, and 27

cloth fabrics. Carlotta Wilusz was hostess that evening. Talk about purses! They were everywhere. There must have been 200 scattered around from which to choose. Members must have looked a little strange leaving the meeting carrying, not one, but two, three, or more purses each. The pocketbooks might have been lighter, but the treasury was heavier.

Proceeds from the profits enabled Yysilanti-Ann Arbor to send Christmas gifts to Yorkwood Center for social service.

November 5, Area Alpha Sigma Taus celebrated Founders Day at the Fairlane Manor in Dearborn on November 5. Also, the chapter held its business meeting, Christmas card sale and small bazaar at Suzanne Slick's home. The cards were presented by Martha Belknap, national social service chairman.

Elaine Habel will host the traditional December Christmas dessert meeting. Y-A sisters wish all a happy New Year.

Mrs. Charles R. McCrory, National Chaplain

The band that joins all members of Alpha Siga Tau is the Sorority Ritual. The commitment each of us made does proclaim our belief in, loyalty to and perpetuation of our sisterhood of love and understanding for one another. Alpha Sigma Tau grows and lives depending on how seriously the vows are taken.

Our sorority does not exist outside its ritual or without an appreciation of it. It is our Sorority Ritual that makes it possible for a chapter or a member to be known as such. Our ritual is a system of high values not only to make us better sorority women, but to be more worthwhile human beings.

The dream of our eight founders and three advisors is an enduring one. Few changes have been made in the wording of our rituals written by our earliest members. It is the one we avow today and which keeps before us the essential qualities of fine womanhood and constructive activity.

We have a commitment to Alpha Sigma Tau and the bonds of love and sisterhood we share; we being the National officers and National chairwomen, the the chapter advisors, the alumnae, 30

the collegiates and pledged sisters. As National officers and National chairwomen, we should renew our alliance to the aims and purposes of Alpha Sigma Tau. As chapter advisors, we should carry our aims and ideals from one group of Sisters to the next. As alumnae, we should perpetuate our ideals through alumnae activities.

Finally, as collegiates and pledged sisters, we should accept the privileges and responsibilities which are passed on to us.

Every member of Alpha Sigma Tau should take the time to recall and review the vows she took on her initiation day. If she does, she will be able to fulfill the words of our National President, Mrs. Thomas J. King, Jr., who recently said, "We can be proud of the past of Alpha Sigma Tau, live the present to the best of our ability and prepare by building for an ever bright future. Alpha Sigma Tau is an experience which shows us ways to enjoy life, use our talents, and enrich the meaning of our lives as we grow and develop, by incorporating our standards and ideals into daily living."

Alpha Sigma Tau Ritual IS the tie that binds. Let us remembe'r and reaffirm O'ztr ow .

THIS IS TODAY TODAY is here. I will start with a smile, and resolve to be agreeable. I will not criticize. I refuse to waste my valuable time.

TODAY has one thing in which I know I am equal with others-time.

TODAY, I will not waste my time, because the minutes I wasted yesterday are as lost as a vanished thought.

TODAY, I refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen. I am going to spend my time making things happen.

TODAY, I am determined to do things I should do. I firmly determine to stop doing the things I should not do.

TODAY, I begin by doing, and not wasting my time. In one week, I will be miles beyond .the person I am today.

TODAY, I will not imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different. I will make success with what material I have.

TODAY, I will stop saying, "If I had time" for I never will "find time" for anything.

If I want it I must take it.

TODAY, I will act toward other people as though this might be my last day on earth. I will not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

Chapter News Actives at Thetas Dinner Dance

Casino Night With The Betas The Beta Chapter of Central Michigan University returned to Mt. Pleasant anxious to start fall rush. Under direction of Hope Pearse, the rush chairman, formal rush started September 11. Three enjoyable rush parties followed-a fun fashion show, "Casino Night At The AST House," and our last party, a variety of heartwarming songs, poems, and slide show. Rush yielded 13 new pledges.

Betas introduced their new pledges to Greek men at the traditional Big Brother presentation with Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Homecoming found Betas busy with float building. Sigma Phi Epsilon sha red in the efforts to produce a fantastic float with the theme, "The Way We Were, The Way We Are." Evening activities included an informal dinner with alumnae and various fraternity dances.

October included our annual date hayride. The evening began with a pre-party at the house and then some good old fashion fun at Farmer O'Brian's. Halloween brought all of us out in costume

32

to share the eerie night dancing with the men of Sigma Phi Eps ilon.

Christmas dance was held at the Oyster Cove in Midland. Dining and dancing made the evening a romantic and memorable one.

Congratulations go to Brenda Pudney, Karen Perkins, and Kathy Peters for receiving scholarship awards. Congratulations to members who helped Beta Taus win the National Scholarsh ip Trophy.

A surprised Karen Perkins received the Top Tau Award and was also nominated for Greek woman of the month.

Parents' Day, November 5, was held at the Valleyview Country Club. A buffet dinner, solo singing by Kathy Hobson, skit by Kathy Peters, a touching poem by Karen Perkins, slide show, and a grand finale by all the Taus provided a Parents' Day to remember.

A suggestion from Jean Dichting about adopting a child overseas proved to be a most rewa rding experience f or Betas.

Thetas Have New Advisor The Thetas at Wayne State University have had a romantic and busy summer!

Nadia Sawka, Theta president, and Michael Maddens recently became engaged.

Their wedding date has not yet been decided. Also, Jean Bury, a recent alumna, and Bob Pollard were married November 12. They moved to Ohio after their wedding.

The Thetas extend a warm welcome to their new chapter advisor, Kathy Pulice.

There was lots of fun, sun, and good food at the annual Big Brother picnic to make it a big success.

One of the more memorable experiences for Alpha Taus was a dinner-dance on September 18. Not only did all active members attend, but there was one hundred percent attendance of the Big Brothers. Some alumnae members, and their husbands and dates shared the evening with the Thetas as well. The chapter presented awards to Debbie Ziegler, best pledge; Kathy Pulice, best active; and Donna Tocarchick, best alum. A special award was given to assistant advisor, Juanita Bouffard for all the help she gave the chapter throughout the years. An award (last but not least) was given to Karen Hurley for highest scholastic average.

Omicron Chapter Into Everything The Omicron Chapter returned to Concord College in Athens, West Virginia, full of ideas, liveliness, and excitement.

To start the fall semester off, we had a pre-rush party and were proud to gain three new pledges. They are Jane Graham Damron, Sandra Lee Jones, and Cela Sawyers.

We had a car wash, hot dog sale, and white elephant sale to raise money to

Homecoming added to the excitement of our activities. The candidate for Alpha Sigma Tau sorority and Pi Kappa Alph a Fraternity was Cheryl Shumate who won the 1977 Homecoming Queen election .

This year the queen won a new AMC Concord luxury compact car for one year. Also, our campaign booth took third pla ce for the best booth on campus. Before the homecoming game, we invited our alumnae to come and join us for the annual Alumnae Tea in our newly-remodeled lounge.

Our sisters and their guests celebrated Halloween with a party, October 31. All dressed in costumes and enjoyed them selves playing games, going through the "Haunted House" and getting to know one another.

The month of November was highlighted with two big events. In the first week, Omicron celebrated Founders Day with a banquet in the Stateroom of Con cord College with alumnae. Next on the agenda was the yearly Sadie Hawkins Dance which we shared with Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternity and their Little Siste r Chapter. Sadie Hawkins is Omicron 's bid dance, and the attire is very formal-bib overalls are a must!

The Alpha Taus actively participated in intramural sports-placing third in soccer, first, second, and third in badminton (try to top that!) and third in bowling.

Coming up later in the semester are water polo, volleyball, basketball and other sports.

The best for all other chapters.

Psi has been participating in voll eyball intramurals throughout the semester.

We've played several dormitories and campus organizations. Psis have been winning most of the games in flying colors of Green and Gold!!!

November 4, we will be holding our Founders Day Banquet at Lloyd 's Steak House. Psi is getting psyched for our Fall Dance to be held November 12th.

Successful Year For Alpha Epsilons For the Alpha Taus of the Alpha Epsilon chapter at Western Illinois University, this fall quarter has been filled with good times, hard work, and successful accompl ishments. This year we have new house parents, Kristi and Dan Smith.

They are extremely warm and helpful.

The quarter started with fall rush. We worked hard and really psyched ourse lves up for rush and we are very proud and happy to have fourteen fantastic pledges.

We congratulate rush chairman Peggy

Maher and her assistant, Mary Jo Niestrom, for a job well done.

Homecoming week was a busy week for us. We were represented in the "Yell Like Hell" pep rally and brought home a first place trophy. Much thanks to song chairman Kris Frakes. Also that week we won first place for our homecoming float which we worked long hours on with the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Congratulations to Debbie Stockley, float chairman.

We had a big brother rush in September and now have 33 new and ambitious big brothers. Great job Lisa Wildman and Mary Koomar!

To add to the excitement, the Greeks organized Greek Week. It highlighted "Greek olympics" and a variety night in which we placed first in both events. Our act was a medley of Shirley Temple's old songs. Thanks once again to song chairman Kris Frakes and her assistant Chris Viviano.

Sisters celebrated Founders Day at a formal dinner with guests including advisor Moe Kielpinski, alumna Mary Moon, financial advisor Jan Frowien, faculty advisor Mrs. Christoffersen, and W.I.U. President Malpass and his wife.

We are also proud to announce that Chris Nugent was just elected as Alpha Epsilon's Top Tau. The sisters are looking forward to a Winter Party in Peoria, Illinois.

Alpha Kappas Star In "Grease" This fall, the Alpha Kappa Chapter at Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio, jumped into what always proves to be an eventful first semester. Once again, we chose to perform the broadway hit "Grease" during formal rush. Alpha Kappa was proud to welcome eight fine pledges into the chapter: freshmen Kristy Anderson, Jann Calendine, Diane Dyar, Becky Farmer, Kim Hupp, Alice Robinson, Beth Simpson, and sophomore Lynn Vroom.

Our success with "Grease" was further highlighted as we won second place during Homecoming for the skit in which we presented our queen candidate, Karol Ballantine. Homecoming weekend also

The weekend of October 15 a Iso proved to be an exciting time for Alpha Kappa as district president, Mrs. Gail Scott was able to visit us. During her stay Mrs. Scott announced the official appointment of Miss Vicki Via as our new chapter advisor.

This year we were pleased to have a large number of speakers present at a Founders Day Tea. Alpha Kappa was honored to have National Publications' Director, Mrs. Emmett Phipps speak about her AST experiences after college. Lynn Sachse, culture chairman, conducted the ceremony as Mrs. Barb Hartong, area alumnae president, senior Ann Dorfman, and newly initiated active Karol Ballantine spoke about what AST means to them.

In addition, sisters enjoyed a potluck Thanksgiving dinner sponsored by the alums. Nancy Dickens, Dean of Students, was guest of honor at the occasion. The chapter rounded out its November activities with its ann u a I pIed ge dessert.

Pledges and big sisters exchanged creative "homemade" gifts.

By the semester's end, Alpha Kappa concluded a candy sale which turned out to be a profitable fund-raising activity.

Also, a social service project aimed at collecting clothes for the needy in the community was undertaken. Before breaking for Christmas, Alpha Kappa celebrated the yuletide with a party which included refreshments and gifts for all.

Alpha Xi-Happy Days Are Here Again The Alpha Xi Chapter at Mansfield State College has just ended a busy and exciting fall semester. We started the semester off with our fall rush party called "Happy Days with AST." After six exciting weeks of pledging we gained four new sisters: Cindy Edwards, Mary Fickinger, Sue Jones, and Terry Price. They were initiated November 13 ending their six weeks of pledging with an annual banquet held in their honor.

H R

The sisters have also been active in many social service projects. First, we collected for UNICEF on Halloween. Also, a few sisters gave blood that is always needed. Alpha Xis donated clothes to a rummage sale and planned to make Christmas stockings for the emotionally disturbed class at the elementary school in downtown Mansfield.

AST's homecoming queen candidate was Angie Lally. Not only was our candidate great but so was our float. We won first prize. The theme of the parade was "Under the Big Top" and the title of our float was "Three Ring Circus." It consisted of three rings built on top of the float. The rings were occupied by a lion tamer, a lion and a trapeze artist. The sisters who weren't on the float walked alongside of the float dressed as vendors, bums, fat ladies, and other comical characters.

We also participated in Mansfield State's Christmas Panorama where all the campus organizations perform in skit competitions. Our skit was entitled "'Twas The Night Before Christmas." It was a comedy with sisters dressed as the characters in the story. There was also a traditional song at the end with a dance created by the sisters.

We recently received a first place efficiency award for the 1976-77 year. We received a plaque and a twenty-five-dollar bond.

November 4, sisters celebrated National Founders Day with re-dedication ceremony the night before.

Our thanks go to Deb Filmore, rush chairman, and her committee who worked diligently to make our rush program such a fine success.

Our next big events were our homecoming activities. Beta Epsi Ion's chapter president, Deb Wanchick, was the competent chairman of all the homecoming events. She was assisted by Leslie Shook, parade marshal, and Diane Schmidt, float committee chairman. We're proud that once more Alpha Sigma Tau took first place for our float which was a giant replica of Snoopy in his usual place-on top of his doghouse.

After the excitement of our victory, we entertained our alumnae to an informal party. Our vice president, Jane Garrow, did a fine job organizing the occasion. It was a great opportunity for all of us to get together again and share old times.

Social service chairman, Anne Gray, and nine other sisters visited the Scotland School for Veterans' Orphans as one of our community projects. We had a Halloween party for the children. We entertained them with songs, games, and plays.

The children enjoyed their party but I'm sure that we enjoyed giving it more. We also sponsored a clothing drive for the needy people of the area.

Congratulations are extended to Patti Roche who was named Theta Chi Sweetheart; and to Rick Skae who was named as our Sweetheart.

Bev Knox, our ways and means chairman organized a plant sale and a clean-up project which is keeping us "in the money" for the remainder of the semester.

New Advisors For Beta Zetas Beta Zeta sisters returned to the University of Alabama in Birmingham full of excitement and new ideas, and ready to begin working for the fall quarter.

Fall quarter found us a very busy chapter. Mrs. Dianne Scucchi and Mrs. Margaret Roseberry are our new chapter advisors. Mrs. Scucchi was a member of the Alpha Mu Chapter at the University of Arkansas in Monticello. Mrs. Roseberry was a member of the Beta Zeta Chapter at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. We also elected new officers.

Fall rush produced three great new girls and we wish these girls best wishes and congratulations.

The Beta Zeta Chapter participated in a fierce competition for the footba II trophy in intramurals. The team, led by Lynn Perrine and Jenny Brown, played marvelously, with enthusiasm, and with a good time in mind.

The sorority growth and development committee put on a program entitled "Fulfillment of Self" and did a good job. (The chapter met at the president's apartment after a rousing game of football), speeches were given by different sisters on the aspects of citizenship, leadership, scholarships, and sisterhood and how they affected the sorority and the girls. After the speeches everyone cut pictures out of magazines expressing how sorority had helped them and what it meant to them .

These were all pasted on a piece of poster board and will be kept in the chapter file.

The meeting was topped off by the delivery of an eight-foot sandwich, planned by the social committee and furnished by Tony's Pizza. We had a great time eating and being able to visit with each other.

It was an enriching program and all the sisters enjoyed it immensely.

November 5, the Birmingham Alumns gave the chapter a brunch for Founders Day. It was a good chance for the newer members to meet the alumns. Awards and gifts were presented including the Scholastic Award given to the girl with the

A disco party was given that night by the sisters themselves. The fraternities, alumnae, and advisors were invited. It was a fantastic evening with plenty of good food and music. Awards were presented to Jenny Brown for Outstanding Pledge; to Lynn Perrine for Outstanding Active; and to Lynn Perrine for Most AST Spirit.

Congratulations are extended to these girls.

A meeting with our district president, Ms. Marsh, is planned for November 12.

The sorority is looking forward to Ms. Marsh's visit and her suggestions.

Plans are now being made for winter rush. Our new rush chairman has had some great ideas and we are looking forward to a successful rush.

Congratulations to our sisters, Margaret Breland and Cheryl Shugarts who were both married during the summer.

A Time For Beta Taus To everything there is a reason and a time for every purpose under heaven.

Good times, busy times, solemn times, 40

together times, and friendship times-the Beta Tau Chapter at the University of Lowell had them all. We started the semester off with a Mug Party. Sisters and their guests brought their own mug, and we filled it with a bright and bubbly beverage from Azuza, California. Sisters kept in the best of spirits until our Wine and Cheese Party at the end of the semester.

Help Week brought in one pledge, Linda Larson. Two sisters offered to go through the Help Week with her, but after 20 minutes, they were asked to act like sisters again. The Beta Tau Chapter also has its first patroness, Wendy Cogswell. The girls are a welcome addition and their enthusiasm is highly contagious.

An enthusiastic group of sisters and friends went to a Halloween party. We dressed up as cards and shuffled in. It was also our good fortune to go out for Chinese foods with our advisors and alumnae.

The IFSC of the University sponsored a Dance-A-Thon to benefit Muscular Dystrophy. The Beta Tau Chapter took an active part with three sisters and their partners dancing under the AST name.

The twelve-hour marathon raised over 600 dollars for the charity. We could have danced all night (and we did).

We also danced at our Christmas Ban-

THE

quet, which was held at the Branding Iron.

It was a pleasure to see all the AST ladies, and their dates, dressed in splendor.

We shared our Christmas spirit with th.ose who are less fortunate. Together w1th the TKE fraternity, we held a Christmas Party for the Headstart children.

Santa paid a short visit and we played games, and sang songs. The children received sma II presents.

Yes, there is a time for every purpose under heaven. Beta Tau has them all.

-Fran Caruso

Rolling With Seta Thetas Things are rolling here at St. Mary's University. The fall semester for the Beta Theta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau got off to a good start.

To raise money this semester we sponsored a "Quarter Dance." This event went over really well, we had a large crowd and people seemed to enjoy themselves.

Our chapter is also helping some girls at the University of Texas in San Antonio to start an Alpha Sigma Tau on their campus. We sponsored two organizational informational socials. Sharon Clark at~ tended these functions at which she showed films and talked on the history of the sorority, while members shared their experiences about sorority life. They seem to be getting off to a good start.

Our fall pledge class has five girls. We are extremely pleased with them and are confident they will be good members.

We plan to have a Founders Day mass with a rededication ceremony and a brunch following on November 6.

We wish our sisters prosperity and luck on all their activities.

-Lillian Salazar

Seta Iotas Aid Mentally Retarded Children The Beta Iota Chapter at Millersville State College began the fall semester with high spirits and a great deal of enthusiasm.

The semester began with rush parties during which Beta Iota enthusiastically accepted two pledges-Gretchen Bruder and Teri Connor. October 25 the girls participated in pledge skits, the theme being "Commercials" and won third place.

Homecoming festivities were October 15 and 16. The chapter took part in the parade by designing and building a float.

Later, a cocktail party was held at the residence of a sister.

The Beta Iota's service project was held December 3 and involved as they participated with emotionally disturbed and mentally retarded children. The sisters will be acting as aids at the pool located on campus.

December 3, 1977 is the annual semiformal, an event when all alumnae and collegiates are invited to participate. The evening included a sorority growth and development program with a special ceremony honoring alumnae by presenting them special corsages which some of the sisters made.

Beta Iotas are participating in intramural volleyball. So far, the girls have ~ot done a terrific job, but enjoyed playmg.

The semester has proved meaningful and the Beta Iotas have learned much through working together during the good, and the more discouraging times.
