1980 Spring ANCHOR

OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU

SPRING 1980

Each Sister a Treasure .. . superbly depicts the depth and meaning of Alpha Sigma Tau sisterhood. As we think on this phrase in our everyday activities and implement it as the theme for the Twenty-third Alpha Sigma Tau National Convention, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, let each of us truly access the meaning of the value of being an AST The Convention is where we can all meet to share the "treasures" our membership has given to our lives. The Convention is the opportunity to learn and work together; to plan for the future of the sorority to assure it will be bright, secure and growing, not only for us to enjoy this special association but to assure young women will continue to have the opportunity we have had-to be an Alpha Sigma Tau. For years it has been my privilege to share with you the special moments and activities that bind us as sisters. Each opportunity to serve has brought happy memories. As I have, during the last eight years, traveled far and wide in beautiful America to visit each chapter, installing new chapters, seeing the bright and happy faces of collegiate members and pledges, experienced warm companionship with alumnae, it has been being with you that I treasure most.

Together we have strengthened our sorority by resolving problems, meeting and overcoming obstacles and obligating ourselves to face the future with confidence. The future belongs to AST because we treasure the values set forth for us and have determined we can meet the challenge.

You have given me a special opportunity to represent Alpha Sigma Tau. I shall always be grateful to you for allowing me the privilege, for it has enriched my life. Together we have shared hopes, dreams, opportunities, ambitions, ideas and ideals that have enhanced the value of the meaning of being an Alpha Sigma Tau. The trust passed to you and me as sisters is the "treasure" held dear that we will pass on the love, pride and confidence that Alpha Sigma Tau will always have the kind of women to perpetuate the dreams of our Founders and Builders.

My heart is filled with gratitude for what we have accomplished working together in eight years. Hold tight to our "treasures" for they are the confidence that Alpha Sigma Tau will be for all time to come as each sister carries the light passed to her.

In love and sisterhood , Sybil King

Meet Mona Zelek, New Local Convention Chairman "I would like to welcome all sisters to Pittsburgh ," says Mona.

"We' ll show you as much of our friendly city as we can squeeze into the schedule."

Mona was an Alpha Omicron at Clarion State and graduated with a B.S. in elementary education. She is presently working at Jones and Laughlin Steel Company and spends her spare time jogging, swimming, and working with the Pittsburgh Alumnae.

This was the third year Mona walked in the annual March of Dimes 30-Kilometer Walk. She has raised money for each kilometer she walked, or $550 so far, and intends to walk again for those who can't.

"I don't suggest you walk to Pittsburgh , but do make plans to meet with us this summer at Convention 1980," Mona urges.

The State University College at Buffalo was founded in 1871 as a small, teachers' school and has since expanded to a liberal arts college offering programs in 72 different fields. The campus is located on the West Side of Buffalo and is adjacent to beautiful Delaware Park. Current enrollment figures indicate that 10,500 students attend "Buff State," with 8,900 of them in undergraduate programs.

Buffalo State is largely a commuter school, 72 percent of the student population commutes and 28 percent are residents in the ten dormitories. For the first 90 years of its existe nce, the College concentrated on teacher education with specializations in art education, exceptional children education and industrial arts education. The programs offered hav e s in ce expanded to incl u de the arts , humanities, natural sciences, technologies and social sciences. Several career-oriented programs are now offered. The Art Education Department is one of the largest in the State of New York.

The Buffalo State campus is composed of 33 buildings, more than half of which have been constructed since 1960. The Burc hfield Center, located in Rockwell Hall at the main entrance of the campus, houses a renowned regional art center.

One of the greatest resources of the College is its

location in an urban area. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery is located across the street from the campus and is known nationally for its outstanding art collection of contemporary work. One short block from the school is the Buffalo Historical Society Museum , and the Buffalo Zoo is located on the other side of Delaware Park. The recently renovated Buffalo Science Museum is just a short drive away.

Due to the fact that sororities and fraternities were banned from all State University campuses in the 1960's the Greek Movement at Buffalo State is still rather weak. The ban was just lifted in 1975, and since that time five Greek organizations have sprung up at Buffalo State, all on the national level with one still waiting to be chartered. There are currently two sororities, Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha Sigma Ta u; and three fraternities , Sigma Phi Epsilon , Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

The activities of Greeks on this campus are coordinated thro ugh the efforts of the Inter-Greek Association. Each group has three representatives to this meeting group. The Fall Semester of 1979 has brought about remarkable unity and development in the Greek world at Buffalo State. More peopl ar getting involved and interested, and thing ar looking up for the future .

Growing Through Sisterhood A personal viewpoint on being installed in Alpha Sigma Tau.-by Ann Marie Carroll

When I first arrived on the Buffalo State campus in the Fall of 1978, I did not know one single soul. I noticed in October of that year that sorority rush parties were being held. I did not think I was the "sorority type," and neither did my roommate! But we thought it might be fun-so we went.

Those first few weeks as a rushee and pledge were hectic, but worth every moment of it. Right from the start, I had a feeling of belonging and held a special relationship with the other girls. We worked long and hard on things because we were so small.

One of the biggest goals of Sigma Chapter was to increase the membership to become rechartered.

Members wanted to do this before three of our founding sisters, Veronica Broere, Susan Macnamara and Donna Sorady, graduated last May. Finally,

news came that we would be installed on April 7. All of a sudden, we had to get everything prepared; take our test, plan a banquet; get rooms signed out; white dresses; dates ... We made it through all the preparation and the greatly anticipated initiation.

Being a member of Alpha Sigma Tau has helped me to grow in many ways. I have developed a better ear for listening and better skills for time and business management. I have established friendly relationships with other Greeks to the point where I feel I can count on them in a jam-they feel the same way about me. But the special, close relationships with all of my sisters cannot even be described or replaced by any other.

I have a great respect and love for the Buffalo Alumnae who were instrumental in getting Sigma back on the Buffalo State Campus. I also look forward to the day when I can join the Alumnae group.

I am proud to be an Alpha Sigma Tau i,m d display this wherever I go. I realize that I represent the Sorority, and try to reflect this in all of my actions.

A. Alpha enjoyed a dinner given by Beta Chapter members the night before installation. Cele brating the occasion were (top row, from left) Christy Cutbill , Renee Lovette and Anne Santini; (middle row, from left) Ann Marie Carroll , Michele Luppino, Pam Pryzibilski, and Geralyn Barker; and (bottom row, from left) Donna Sorady, Mary Jane Pendly, Beth \.borhees, Cathy Bigy, Veronica Brocre, and Karen Goldstein.

Newly installed Beta New Chapter and national officers attending the ceremonies were: (front row, from left) Debra Northrup, Diana Benasutti, Theresa Aannelly, Laureen Leitzel, and Susan Hodge; (second row, from left) Mrs. Kruppa, Miss Nichols, Mrs. Bomberger, Marianne Bredbenne~ Mrs. King, Ellen Ramsay, Diane Bukoski, JoAnn Redingto n, Miss Willmitch , and Charlotte Brady; and (back row, from left) Georgia Cuthbert, Patricia Fullerton , Joanne Dunstan, Leslie Ritter, and Mrs. Scott. (Not pictured is Cynthia Lee .)

Although a cold North wind puffed outside, it was warm inside the Alpha Sigma Tau house on December 7, 1979, as the sisters of Beta Nu Colony at Bloomsburg State College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania , awaited the arrival of the installing officers.

The first three to arrive were Mrs. Thomas J. King, Jr., National President; Miss Mary Ellen Willmitch , Director of Fraternity Programs; and Miss Bobbie Nichols, Director of Expansion. Arriving a bit later were Mrs. John Krupa , Gamma District President, and Mrs. Harold Scott, Director of Collegiate Chapters.

While completing last minute tasks, the sisters were able to get to know these "special sisters" who, except for Miss Nichols, had merely been names to memorize for the National Pledge Examination.

Amid smiles, tears, and much excitement the sisters of Beta Nu Colony became the charter members of Beta Nu Chapter on Saturday morning, December 8 , 1979. The ceremony was held in the President's Lounge in the Student Union on the Bloomsburg State College campus. Assisting the National o fficers in the ceremony were Mrs. Carl Bomberger, Chapter Adviser, and two area alumnae Mrs. Sandra Slavik and Mrs. Joan Straub.

The charter members are: Diana Benasutti, Charlotte Brady, Marianne Bredbenner, Diane Bukoski, Georgia Cuthbert, Joanne Dunstan , Theresa Flan12

nelly, Patricia Fullerton, Susan Hodge , Cynthia Lee, Laureen Leitzel, Debra Northrup, Ellen Ramsay, JoAnn Redington, Leslie Ritter, and Rosemarie Sabatini.

Later that evening in the Faculty Dining Room of Scranton Commons, the traditional installation banquet was held . The invocation was given by Diana Benasutti. Following a welcome by Chapter President Susan Hodge, Dr. Jerrold A. Griffis, Vice President for Student Life and Dean for Student Life Dr. and Mrs. John S. Mulka were honored guests.

Mrs. King quoted some early thoughts of Alpha Chapter members in her Presidential Address.

"Beta Nu-Ever Onward" was the theme of Miss Nichols' keynote address.

The chapter charter was presented to Debra Northrup, Custodian, by Mrs. King. Other presentations included the gavel from Mrs. Krupa to Susan Hodge and the plaque from Mrs. Scott to Patricia Fullerton, Secretary. Special recognition gifts went to Susan Hodge and Mrs. Bomberger for their service as Chapter President and Chapter Adviser, respectively.

The gifts from the National Council to Beta u were a matched pair of candlelabra, a replica of the national banner, and ceremonial supplie w r prei d sented by Mrs. Bomberger. Other gift i h I. were a silver tray from Mrs. King and Mi THE AN HOR

pair of candlelabra from Mrs. Scott and Miss Wilmitch , a large set of glassware from Youngstown Alumnae , a handmade lace tablecloth from the Northern Virginia Alumnae, a permanent floral arrangement from the chapter advisers, and fresh flowers from Alpha Xi Chapter, Beta Epsilon Chapter, and the Bloomsburg State College Inter-Sorority Council. The many messages of greeting and welcome from collegiate and alumnae chapters, as well as from the National Staff and Council, added a special feeling of the importance of national sisterhood.

At the conclusion of the banquet, Miss Willmitch conducted the Alpha Sigma Tau Candlelighting Ceremony. Spontaneous singing of special Chapter songs followed.

At 11:00 A.M. Sunday the Chapter hosted a tea in the President's Lounge in the Student Union to introduce the National Officers to members of the administration and staff. Various organizations on campus sent representatives to the tea.

The installation of Beta Nu Chapter was the culmination of work begun more than a year ago. In September 1978, Alpha Sigma Tau was notified by Ms. Linda Zyla, Inter-Sorority Council Adviser, that Tau Sigma Pi, an established local sorority was in terested in national affiliation. In early October Ms. Susan W McCarley, Expansion Coordinator, visited

the campus to meet the members and to answer questions. Shortly after her visit, Tau Sigma Pi petitioned for membership in Alpha Sigma Tau. Susan McCarley returned to the campus and assisted in rush activities enlarging the colony by adding some undergraduate members.

Beta Nu joins Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Sigma Sigma as the third National Pan hellenic Conference sorority. Five local sororities round out the Inter-Sorority Council.

Bloomsburg State College, as one of the fourteen state-owned institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania, has been charged by the Commonwealth to serve as "... a center of learning for the best possible education of the youth of Pennsylvania in the arts and sciences and to provide able and dedicated teachers . . ."

The arts and sciences are regarded as fundamen tal to all the activities implied by this charge. During the past several years, the college has moved to strengthen the academic departments and to expand the range of services through the addition of pre-professional programs, continuing education programs in the health-related sciences and business administration . Although dedicated primarily to undergraduate work, the College offers masters degrees in teacher education and certain academic disciplines.

NPC Meets in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia Forty-sixth Session By the opening session of the forty-sixth session of the National Panhellenic Conference, it was evident that the sorority delegates had come to exchange ideas and discuss common problems which face each member group. These problems-rush regulations, housing, inflation, and the changing sorority-were discussed in small groups bringing member groups closer together, as well as discussed on the floor of the sessions.

The elegant colonial setting of the Greenbrier in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia, offered a cordial atmosphere to the serious business conducted throughout the day (and night).

More apparent than the elegance of the grounds was the spirit of cooperation among delegates, national presidents, directors of central office, and editors. Any mention of competition was that used in constructive, well-defined form of rush.

Outgoing NPC Chairman, Mrs. Floyd Williamson, Jr., Phi Mu, called for the "thrust in the area of internal education to be turned outward. Mrs. Williamson included in these forces increased cost of higher education and lack of public support; fewer "traditional" freshmen students; housing; and national awareness.

"We, as the leaders of the women 's fraternities, have many options," said Adele. "Decisions must be made. The look ahead to the eighties is exciting. It is the time of opportunity. We must be innovative; we must be flexible. We must be supportive of educational goals. Coupled with these , we must have a real understanding of the needs of our members, and we must have a deep commitment to the purpose of the National Pan hellenic Conference and to our individual fraternity."

The ad hoc committee on ethics, chaired by Mrs. Karl B. Miller, Sigma Kappa, reported on the spirit of cooperation that has weathered adverse reactions to the Greek system. The report further indicated that the strength of the conference rests with the unanimous agreement.

"It calls for working together to realize that ideal. It calls for a faith in the integrity of each national," the report said.

The ad hoc committee recommended that; "Where it appears there is sufficient cause for con 14

cern regarding the adherence to the spirit and intent in complying with the provisions of the unanimous agreements, it is recommended that the Executive Committee shall consult those member groups concerning their alleged action in order to resolve the problem."

A one-day Fraternity Advisor's Symposium was introduced to the conference this year. Values, legal issues, educating the academic community, professionalism of the advisor, How To's for College Panhellenics, and campus needs were studied.

In the keynote address for the symposiums, Dr. Margaret Berry, advisor, University of Texas at Austin , gave the keynote speech at the symposium.

She pointed out the power and influence of the Greeks and stressed the need for Greeks to lay the groundwork to achieve positive reform of goals and a better quality of campus life.

"The age group with which you are working, roughly 17 through 22 , are highly motivated to meet members of the opposite sex, to get married, to better their social conditions, to experiment," Dr. Berry said. "The peer group is a greater influence than you or I, except in a few isolated instances."

At the Wednesday night awards banquet, Dr. J .

Woodrow Hearn gave a very inspirational address which gave an insight into the fraternity system and the values of our changing society.

In his address, "Holy Waste-A Look at Values," Dr. Hearn (a minister) spoke of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Sister Teresa. "There are those," Dr. Hearn said , "who probably looked at the teen-age Teresa as she was about to take her vows and thought her life to be a waste. If that's a waste, then it's a holy waste."

Dr. Hearn talked of the dedication of the thousands of women who have given their time and talent to the Greek system. "There are those," he said, "who might consider your volunteer efforts a waste, but if it's a waste, it's a holy waste."

The presentation of awards ended the fe tivities.

THEAN HOR

Cc/ilor's Corner Maybe I should change the name of this column to Dudley's Disasters.

That title might be more appropriate for the corrections to the errors which appeared in the Fall '80 issue of The Anchor. To begin, on the inside front cover in the "Editor's Corner, " I said the National Staff asked you for your suggestions as to a national mascot. Well, actually the Staff has not yet reached a definite decision as to whether or not this would be feasible at the present time. So, hold off on your selection until further notice. But, do send your sketches for a National Flag to me so they can be voted on at Convention.

Now for the big blooper. Every inch of me blushed when I discovered that the photograph on page 14 was not Alpha Nu Chapter at all but that of recently installed Sigma Chapter. Being an obviously intelligent editor, I thought things through and decided that this might go unnoticed until Convention when some poor sister might be confused that Alpha Nu was located in Buffalo, New York. My sincerest apologies to all involved. I'm not trying to save face , but I do urge all of you sending in photographs to identify your subjects on the back of the picture or at least key the cutlines to a separate sheet of paper, i.e. , Sigma cutline # 1 written on the photo and piece of paper. Something so simple could prevent this from happening again.

As a conscientious editor I felt it my duty to provide something for every reader. So for all you eagle-eyed readers who scanned the past issue looking for mistakes, at least, you can say "she aims to please.n Maybe I'm not perfect but I try. At least I feel that the vows I took in college and renewed after graduation were not thrown to the wind. I took them seriously. I promised to help my Sorority upon graduation.

Yes Virginia, there really are alumnae of

THE ANCHOR

c

)

Alpha Sigma Tau. They work and play.

They aide the community in social service projects. They enjoy close friendships and continue to develop leadership abilities and cultural dimensions through active participation.

Being an active alum is a way of keeping up with your collegiate chapter or the chapters at the colleges in your area. Maybe you think you've outgrown Sorority-perhaps you were "burned out" your senior year. But I find it refreshing to see all my old friends , to help my collegiate chapter, and communicate with Sisters from New York to California.

We can't all be Sybil Kings and devote 30 hours a day to Sorority. But why have your name appear on the inactive alumnae list-it's like being mentioned in who's who of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Believe me, every little bit of time you can contribute as an alumna to your Sorority is greatly appreciated. We want more than your money. We need alumnae to hold staff positions, work with collegiate chapters, and help establish new collegiate and alumnae chapters.

Remember how good you felt when you were finally initiated and you became a part of Alpha Sigma Tau? You said you believed in the "permanence and loveliness of its ideals,n not that you would have a good time 'til you left school and forget your vows.

Sorority is for life.

-Terry Dudley National Editor

Never underestimate the value of a key in providing protection for you and your possessions. It's up to you to use it.

A key will lock your car, lock your bike to a rack, lock your room, lock your house, and lock your valuables in a strong box.

But, never leave your keys lying around in your room , and never lend a key to anyone. Keep your keys handy when entering or leaving your car. Have your keys ready before you get to the door of yo ur house. Don't endanger your safety by wasting time in searching through your purse.

Furthermore, a ring of keys clenched in your fist with the keys protruding between your fingers can be an effective weapon should yo u e nco unter a would-be assailant.

These admonitions come from chiefs and directors of campus security from Albe rta to Alabama and Washington to New Jersey. With campus crimes increasing each year, there is a deep concern for your safety. The experiences of these security officials have led them to the conclusion that no woman on campus can take her safety for granted-she must learn to protect herself. They have recommended some guidelines for women to follow in specific areas of campus life.

What can sororities do to assure the per路 sonal safety of their members? Have o ffi cers trained in crime prevention from the local or campus police department make a security survey of the sorority house or residence hall. Follow their recommendations.

Request members of the police department to give talks on self-protection, rape prevention , and safety procedures to ensure that all members are aware of the potential threat of theft and harm . It is imperative to maintain a continuing education program relative to personal security.

Set up a "buddy system" for sisters attending events or working late in campus buildings. If there is a campus escort service , encourage members to use it. Remind members repeatedly o f the need for personal security by keeping doors and windows locked . Provide a screening mechanism for visitors to the sorority, and challenge all strangers a nd ask their business.

What should a woman do to protect her personal property? Keep the door locked at all times when not in your room. Maintain a detailed inventory of your possessions and a record of the number of

24

your credit cards. Engrave major items with an identifiable mark; i.e. , driver's license number and state.

Do not leave your purse or billfold lying around, even if yo u are in the roo m. When walking, keep a firm grip on your purse. Take your valuables home with you d uring term breaks. Avoid displaying jewelry or other valuables in circumstances that could lead to others removing them.

Is it wise to carry protective devices? Your No. 1 defense is a good healthy scream. Opinion is divided among security chiefs on carrying such devices as whistles and hatpins. All are against devices which can be classified as weapons, many of which are unlawful. All emphasize that firearms should never be carried.

Mack D. Stanhope, University of Washington crime prevention officer, states, " Fingers are stronger than eyes, knees stronger than groins, shoe soles stronger than shins ... Protective devices and weapons can be taken away and used against you."

Claude W Spencer, director of safety and security at Miami University, also points out that statistics have shown that the would-be criminal tends to use hat pins, tear gas and similar weapons against his victim. He recommends that women carry a loud noise-producing instrument which can be squeezed "as the individual female through fright or other reasons" could become mute when confronted by an assailant.

Police Commander Adam J. Zutaut of Michigan State University cautions against wearing a whistle on a chain or string around the neck as the string can be used against the victim. He recommends leaving one hand free of books or packages to carry a whistle or sonic horn. A ball point pen or keys on a ring, or even a textbook offer protection , according to Zutaut. "A woman's natural protective devicesfingernails , teeth , knees, elbows-are excellent weapons, but must be used with full intent to injure."

When and how should law enforcement personnel be contacted? any time a woman is a victim of a crime; any time a women is suspicious of persons, places, or events; any time a woman has cause to be afraid-the policy should be contacted immediately by telephone or whatever else might be the most expeditious means of contact.

Though a potential threat may be real or imaginary, contact the local law enforcement agency. It is better to be wrong and make a fool of yourself for a

THE AN H R

moment than be the victim of an attack and suffer a lifetime of regret.

In what area are young women most careless or negligent regarding their personal safety?

"Two girls walk a well-lighted path at night. A male stops them to ask questions. They stop-become good Samaritans. Result-they are mugged (assaulted) and robbed ."

Robert T Coke , assistant vice president of public safety at Rutgers University, cites this example to support his belief that young women "do not accept the potential threat in what appears to be a normal campus incident. " Claude Spencer deplores the tendency of young women "to believe the best in all males; this will include accepting rides, walks, and so forth with total strangers."

Walking alone at night and hitchhiking lead the list of unsafe practices of yo ung women compiled by the security officers. Others include failing to lock doors at night, admitting strangers to their rooms, driving alone in areas that are either not familiar or are remote , wearing provocative clothing, not being alert at all times to potential dangers and problems, and failing to learn how to protect themselves through organized programs of law enforcement agencies.

WHAT SHOULD A COLLEGIAN DO TO PROTECT HERSELF IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS? As a pedestrian on campus- Do not walk alone, especially at night. Use public walks on welllighted streets. Avoid shortcuts, isolated or seldom travelled areas. Walk on the curb side of the walk, not next to buildings or shrubbery. If someone approaches you in a car, walk in the opposite direction the car is facing. If you feel you are being followed , head toward the nearest busy place where there are other people. Dress for safety: avoid tight clothing and wear shoes in which you can run, if necessary.

As a driver or passenger in an automobile-Keep your gas tank filled and your car in good running order. Keep your doors locked and windows up while driving. Keep your purse out of sight. Park in a lighted area. If you think someone is watching or waiting for you, lean on the horn.

Lock your car when leaving it, and look in the back seat before re-entering it. Do not pick up hitchhikers. Use pre-designated routes when travelling and, if possible, telephone ahead so someone will know

THE ANCHOR

when to expect you and to alert authorities if you do not arrive.

As a bike rider on campus-Use the same precautions as for a pedestrian. Ride on welllighted , frequently travelled paths and streets.

As a spectator at campus events--Do not go alone. Sit with friends. Do not become involved with strangers or unruly crowds. Stay away from secluded areas of a stadium or athletic facility. Do not go alone to restroom facilities. Avoid anyone drinking or distributing narcotics. Do not leave with people you do not know. Arrane ahead of time for return transportation if the event is not within walking distance.

As a student using a campus buildingAbide by the rules and regulations of the building.

Know the location of all exits and public telephones.

At night, utilize only those buildings designated for student use during the hours of darkness. Travel to and from such buildings with friends or an escort.

Do not stay in a building alone after hours. If you must work in an office after hours, notify campus security. Tell a friend where you are going to be and when you will be leaving. Lock the office door and do not open the door or admit anyone without first securing proper identification-this also applies to service and custodial personnel. Do not prop doors open for friends who may be joining you later.

As a resident of a sorority house or dormitory-Know the emergency number of the fire and police departments. Lock your door when sleeping or absent from your room. Be sure to use your shades and blinds--do not walk around partially clothed or nude if there is any way someone can see you. Don't stay in the laundry room alone if the house or dorm is open to outsiders.

If residing on the ground floor or in below ground level rooms, be sure that security locks are installed on all windows and security screens installed with non-removable screws. Make it a habit to identify yourself when entering another's room and to expect anyone entering your room to do the same.

Cooperate in maintaining visitation rules and hours.

This information was compiled in answer to a request to the National Panhellenic Editors Conference from Barbara Elsbury, assistant dean of students at Purdue Un iversity and co-chairperson of the NPC/NAWDAC Liaison Committee.

An 's show their AST spirit during Suppery Rock State homecoming.

Alpha District Betas Have Active Semester This past fall Beta chapter has been keeping pretty busy. Our semester started off with rush , which gave us nine super pledges thanks to Jody Miron, our rush chairman. Our pledges have been doing a great job and will be active very soon. Our pledge trainer Laurie Clam has done a fine job.

In October we had our homecoming with many alumnae coming to visit with all the ASTs and also the new pledges.

November brought many activities to the AST house. On November 11th the Beta parents came to visit for Parents Day. They visited our house and we then took them to dinner, gave them a slide presentation showing the activities we do and we then had a special candlelighting ceremony dedicated to the parents. Our Chaplain, Diana Mitcham made up the ceremony and is planning on sending it to national. The Beta Winter Formal was held recently in Clare, Michigan . Awards were given out to members of the chapter and a slide presentation was given. One of the awards given out was the Beta Cliapter Top Tau award which went to Carolyn Herkelrath our social chairman. She will now represent Beta Chapter for a possible national Top Tau award.

The weekend of our winter formal was made exciting not only because of the dance but also because of the visit we had from National. Mary Ellen Willmitch came to Central and visited with the Beta sisters. She talked to each sister and came to one of our business meetings. Beta Chapter would 28

like to thank her for the visit, the helpful information she gave us and we hope that her stay in Mt. Pleasant was enjoyable.

Beta's are not only socially active, but also actively involved in sports. Our football team won the sorority championship and went on to win in the campus semi-finals. We couldn't have done it without the great girls, our intramural chairman Carol Billington and the coaches, EX's, Scott McCleod and Ed Dygert.

This semester will end up with senior farewell , we only have three girls leaving but we will be sorry to see them go .

Sigmas Enjoy Potluck The newly reactivated Sigma Chapter of the State University College at Buffalo set the fall semester off with a bang. The traditional Welcome Back Party was hosted on September 15. Representatives from four Greek organizations were present as was Buffalo State's new President, Dr. D. Bruce Johnstone.

The weekend of September 21 -23 was spent at the College Camp in Franklinville, New York with rushees. Rush gave Sigma four hearty girls to carry the AST torch- Theresa McSweeney, Julie Mui , Michelle Aguillar and Tricia Toomey. W lcom t Sigma.

ters. Unfortunately she chose to fly Alleghany (Agony???) Airlines and never arrived in Buffalo.

For the Homecoming Parade we made a big anchor. On October 19 we held a delicious Potluck Dinner at the home of Mary Beth Sodus. After dinner we made candy apples we planned on selling, but they melted due to the unusually warm weather. Greek Games were held on October 26, and Alpha Sigma Tau placed fourth , right behind the three fraternities.

Gail Scott finally arrived for the first weekend in November, and we were fortunate enough to have her with us for Founder's Day which was celebrated at the Hearthstone Manor with the Buffalo Alumnae. They presented us with a tape recorder and pre-recorded music so that we could learn some more of those old AST songs. Beverly Bollard, one of the Buffalo Alumnae, was kind enough to present us with a bound copy of the Alpha Sigma Tau History.

On November 10, some of us served breakfast to participants in the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon. The other activities included a successful doughnut sale and another Potluck dinner.

We contributed more money to the United Way Campaign than any other Greek organization and are currently working on the Seventeenth Annual Variety Telethon for Children 's Hospital.

Fall rush brought eight pledges toAST Things got quickly underway as the Taus again helped the community. This year they collected money in downtown Indiana for the town's Free Library Fund.

Homecoming ' 79 will be remembered by the Deltas as a wonderful time. Working with Sigma Nu and keeping with the "Circus" theme, their babyblue seal float placed in the judging. A tea was held for parents and alumnae in their chapter room prior to the parade followed later by the traditional football game.

Founder 's Day was celebrated again this year in style at an Indiana steak house. A candlelight ceremony marked the event as the light passed from the oldest sister to the newest.

Two sisters, president Dee Eshelman and vicepresident Sue Lake finished first along with another contestant in !UP's Outstanding Coed Contest.

Their essays will be sent to New York for judging and if chosen , they too will visit the "Big Apple" to be featured in Glamour Magazine.

Other Delta events included: the Fall Pledge class formal at the Indiana Holiday Inn ; homemade doughnuts at the Activities Fair held in the Student Union; and an all-sorority alumnae tea; took place.

Delta welcomes Mrs. Janna Mundis as its new advisor. The Delta Chapter sends its best wishes to all other chapters!

All Gambles for Pledges The fall semester of 1979 began with a successful theme rush party, Tau Vegas. The sisters were gamblers , playboy bunnies , and entertainers .

Seven new pledges were acquired through the hard work: Susan Zilka , Susan Dean , Debbie Field, Kathy McNerney, Scarl et Cervone , Dianne Bachman, and Chris Welbert.

For Homecoming AP built a float with Alpha Xi Delta sorority and Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, which won fourth place.

At the end of September, members traveled to Michigan for a football game. They had a wonderful stay with Marty Belnap an alumna from Alpha Chapter. Halloween brought out goblins and ghouls-and the Mixer with the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity.

November came with the election of our new executive board. They are as follows: President, Geralyn Berkey; Vice President, Natalie Parisi; Treasurer, Linnea Sommer; Recording Secretary; Cilia Patellos; and Corresponding Secretary, Lisa Coluzzi.

In December sisters and their dates attended the Christmas Formal at the Howard Johnson in Youngstown , Ohio. There was a secret rose cere29

mony to announce the engagement of Carol May and Sue Lehman was named Top Tau. -Janet Hosick

Surprises for Clarion State Taus When the sisters of the Alpha Omicron chapter returned to Clarion State College in Clarion, Pennsylvania, they could not have guessed what rewards the fall semester had in store for them.

Working within a new campus format for rush, the sisters planned a successful tea, a zany "Taus in the Twenties" theme party, and a third, more serious get-together to introduce the girls to the responsibilities and ceremonials of the sorority. All the worrying paid off for rush chairman Heidi Bliss the day bids were matched and advisor Suzanne P-Jobb announced a pledge class of fourteen wonderful girls.

A brand-new pledge program included weekly activities for sisters and pledges, such as a family scavenger hunt, a rose-buddy exchange to secretly deliver notes and gifts for a week, and a "celebrity game show" to prepare the girls for the national test.

Six weeks of pledging under the wacky guidance of pledge mistress Donna Best ended on November 11th when the sorority warmly welcomed their new sisters: Kathy Anderson , Patti Best, Lisa Cain, Annemarie Hackett , Mary Beth Hess , Natalie Johnson , Joanne Matotek, Maggie Mitchell, Wendy Putnam, Patty Tysarczyk, Debbie Waterloo, Trish Wojcik, Andrea Vozel, and Angi Zottola. Also, Terri McCoy has accepted an open bid to pledge during the spring semester.

In keeping with the festive homecoming theme of "A Child's Fantasy," the Sorority built an awardwinning candy castle float with the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon. They were especially proud to see their sister, sophomore Val Trivelpiece, on the Homecoming Court. Afterwards, an Alumnae Tea was held in the chapter room to catch up on the news with sisters who had graduated but hadn't been forgotten .

As a social service project, the AO's again donated their time and steadying arms to the semiannual Red Cross Bloodmobile. And in December, the Taus were selected to sing in the "Christmas Is for Children" Show, sponsored by a fraternity for the campus and the town. Of course, social events were another important part of the calendar. The sisters sold hoagies and cookies in the dorms to raise money for their activities. Besides a schedule of fraternity-sorority mixers (including an Alpha Sigma Tau-Sigma Chi football game and mixer and a costumed Halloween mixer) , the girls enjoyed an October date party at the Knights Inn in Clarion, planned for them by Gina Vtllella. On November 4th , they marked the founding of Alpha Sigma Tau with a banquet at the Wolf's Den Restaurant in Knox, Pennsylvania. After a delicious dinner, family and friends relaxed while watching a slide show created by Kim Beisner.

Looking forward to the holidays, the Taus drew names for secret Santas, to be revealed at the annual bash on December 8th. The Pine Crest Country Club in Brookville, Pennsylvania supplied the Christmas tree, the formal fireplace , and the food, and the sisters supplied the bubbly excitement.

Favors were Christmas ornaments hand-decorated with each couple's names.

A tearful farewell ceremony for the graduating seniors marked the end of a happy, full semester.

Gamma District Alpha Xi's Give Blood 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, which was informal. We gained two hard working pledges: Polly Bieber and Holly Snyder.

The sisters have also been active in many social service projects. First we got involved in the Hospitality House for the elderly. Next we collected for UNICEF on Halloween. Also, a few sisters gave blood (that is always needed) . The great participation on this blood donation entitled first floor to win first place prize money. Our most special social service was a successful Rock-A-Thon Marathon. We rocked for 60 hours to benefit Jerry Miller who has been in a coma for several months due to a motorcycle accident.

AlT homecoming queen candidate was president, Judy Kromko. Not only was our candidate great but so was our float. The theme of the parade was "Comic Book Capers" and the title of our float was "AlT Salutes Walt Disney." The float consisted of a castle and animated characters on and dancing beside the float.

We also participated in Mansfield State's Christmas Panorama where all the campus organizations performed in skit competitions. Our skit was entitled "Santa's New Look " 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.

Fall Fun For The Beta E's Now 48 sisters strong, we held a first annual summer picnic at Diane Schmidt's home in Horsham, Pa. Some 42 sisters, new and old, made the trip to share in some summer fun . It set precedent for more of the same in summers to come.

Back on the home front, BE started off th Fall semester with yet another succ sful ru h program led by Janet Han on . Many Frid aft rn n nd ru h _ rushers were h ld. 1 tting th i t THE AN H R

exchange ideas about what AlT is all about. "Blossom with AlT" and "Circus AlT" were the themes of our formal and informal rushes, which tied up our rush program. Jan's efforts led to the ribbon and pin pledging of nine pledges; Judy Clayton, Connie Cuffaro, Denise Deon, Jill Henry, Mary Anne King, Mary McCormick, Karen Merkel, Andi Neff and Helen Petillo.

On November 28, these nine girls entered the world of sisterhood to the tune of the song "Memories." As the pledges sang the words, ". . . do you remember when we became sisters-a yellow rose you gave to me," they were handed yellow roses by their big sisters.

Social service projects have been an increasing facet in our chapter. Under the direction of Candy Carlson , the Taus rounded up donors of blood, actresses to entertain the children at Scotland School, and ushers at the Catholic Church. Coming up is the Afro-Am Feed A Friend Program, and Christmas caroling at the Nursing Home.

Our ways and means encounters have been the best in Tau history. Sharon Dean, Chairman, has gone to great pains to meet and exceed our financial goals (and how welcome they are when it's local dues time).

Future plans include the ninth annual Christmas Formal and intramural sports event.

We'll be saying goodbye to some very special people come December. Beth McHenry will be graduating; and Cindy Bickel and Sharon Dean will be student teaching in their own home towns.

Chapter Advisor Dr. Mary Jane Urbanowicz, was honored as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America. " Finally, Beta Epsilon nominated girls for Top Tau honors. They are Lois Bixler, Kim Golden, Katie Gray, Eileen McGough , Beth McHenry, Maureen Reilly and Maggie Rogers. The winner will be announced at the Spring 1980 formal.

Delta District A2T-Way 2 8 As the semester began, Beta Tau members were happy to learn they had been placed in Delta District. They look forward to the benefits of shared sisterhood with other chapters in the District.

A summer retreat in Seabrook, N.H. set the direction of sisterhood for the year. The girls met to set forth policies, goals and directives.

The new DP, Mrs. Loucks, arrived in Boston in early October to meet the chapter and share Parent's Day. Attended by sisters, alumnae, parents, advisors and members of the University administration , the day's events were oriented towards the understanding of our sisterhood and chapter goals.

The BT calendar has been packed the entire . semester. Fund raising took a new trend this year. In THE ANCHOR

conjunction with the Student Government's Activities Commission, AlT sponsored Las Vegas Night. The professional gambling night was a great deal of work but worth the effort.

We couldn't be happier with the number of sisters chosen for "Who's Who": Alison Molloy, Devorah Long, Denise Nadeau , and Pat Foner.

Beta Iotas See Ghosts!

September means going back to school , seeing old friends and getting back into the swing of sorority life. The Beta Iota Chapter of Millersville State College fell quickly and enthusiastically into the good life. Work was started right away planning teas and other activities that would take place during the upcoming semester.

The teas for the fall semester consisted of a get acquainted game, make your own sundaes, crackers and cheese and our formal yellow rose tea.

Beta Iota gained six great pledges-Phyllis Anastasio, Meg Cullinan, Laura Mariani, Joanna Natale, Nancie Sullivan and Lori Wallace.

October was a very busy month for the Beta Iota Chapter. Pin pledging and rededication were on the same night, this created a very meaningful atmosphere. For homecoming the chapter hosted a welcome-back cocktail party for the alumnae. At the end of October, AIT assisted with the Annual Bridge Tournament at the Host Farms.

During November the sisters kidnapped the pledges and took them to a party with TKE. Later that evening we had a slumber party at the Greek House.

Our athletic sisters participated in intramural volleyball. Congratulations to Laurie Mann , Sue Pihoker, Judy Smith, Cathy Shaffer and guys for their great effort.

The annual semi-formal was held December 1 at the Show Palace-a disco atmosphere with a live band put the final touches on a great evening.

Beta Iotas participated in many service projects this semester. These included working at Ghost Manor to raise money for M.S. Some sisters helped the March of Dimes make phone calls for their annual Mothers March . At Christmas members visited 31

the Hilltop Nursing Home and played bingo and sang Christmas carols with the senior citizens.

Plans are in the making for Regional Day to be held at Millersville in the Spring.

Congratulations to two sisters, Vicki Wilson and Cindy Stump who both became engaged.

Epsilon District Hooray for Chi Summer meant business for those busy Chi sisters. They held three summer meetings to coordinate this semester's activities. Then came August and everything got underway. After a well-planned rush season the sisters proudly gained Sherri 4Jtle as their new pledge. The sisters were visited by district president, Leslie Danner. She had many new ideas in the areas of rush , fundraisers and organization.

Homecoming came in a big way. Members entered a float in the feature parade. The theme was "Hooray for Hollywood," and the A~T float was a scene from the movie "Cleopatra," with Angela Propst in the starring role. She was carried on a handmade barge, by six handsome men. They won first prize in their category. Chris won first-prize for two cheers submitted in the Pep Rally competition.

The weekend was topped off by the annual Alumnae Tea. Parents' Day was the next big event on the Chi calendar. The sisters held a luncheon in honor of their parents. October was topped off with a Halloween party at the home of a sister, Marie Busch.

November turned out to be just as busy. Members helped out at the local Veteran's Center, at a Casino night set up by a worker there. It was one of the most fulfilling things they have done. The sisters plan to go back there to Christmas carol.

Congratulations to Chi Alum Becky Mills, who was married on the first of December.

Zeta District Iota Pledges 20 The Iota Chapter at Emporia State University started 'off a successful school year by pledging 20 girls during formal rush . Iota is very proud of these pledges , who were initiated on November 11.

The beginning of school was also the beginning of many activities here at Emporia. Two actives, Sandy Stegeman and Cathy Castleberry danced for 24 hours in the Jerry Lewis Telethon Dance held here at Emporia. Cathy and Sandy received top honors and brought home a plaque for most time danced

and most time put in by the rest of the Iotas.

The last weekend in September, the 29th and 30th was filled with fun and excitement. The Iotas took' a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, to World's of Fun. Sisters went there for a money-making project, but in having so much fun decided to make it an annual event.

The month of October was just as busy as the month of September. October 20 was the weekend devoted to A~T dads-it was Dad's Weekend .

Members took their fathers to a football game, made lunch for them and took them out for a night on the town.

Alums presented us with a Wine and Cheese Party on October 22. This was a great way to get acquainted with our alums.

The night of October 26 was one no one will forget. It was the night of our informal entitled "Jock and Jockette." Everyone came dressed in the outfit of their favorite sport.

On the closing day of October Iotas dressed up in Halloween costum es and went to the Emporia Community Day Care Center as a social service project. The girls took Halloween treats to the children and played games with them. The sisters even learned some new games that the children taught them.

November dawned another busy month beginning with a Founder's Day dinner on November 6.

The ceremony held after dinner reminded each sister how much Alpha Sigma Tau meant to her.

November 8th headed the way for Homecoming festivities with a Campus Clean-up in which several Alpha Taus joined in. It sure made the campus lovely for Homecoming. But, for the Alpha Sigma Taus, the preparation for Homecoming began even sooner. Iotas began working on a float with Kappa Sigma Fraternity. All the hard work paid off because the float won first place among the Greek organizations. A special thanks to all the people who worked all night to make the A~T float a huge success.

"Reflections of Yesteryear" was the theme of the fall formal held November 16. The dinner and dance was held at the Holiday Inn here in Emporia.

Kent Carpenter was named Alpha Sigma Tau's Sweetheart of 1979 at the event.

On the 18th of November, Joy Oliver, Pam Richards , Terri Kidwell, and Kelly Laughlin all skated for 8 hours in a Skate-a-Thon of S .O.S ., a rape prevention organization in Emporia.

Members ended out the month of November by participating in the Emporia Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade. Iota began the Christmas season by singing Christmas carols to watchers of the parade.

A visit from Zeta District President, Miss Chris Nugent, was very beneficial to Iota. She gave very good ideas and suggestions to better chapter operations.

AE Takes Honors During Greek Week During a warm and hectic fall , the Alpha Tau sisters of the Alpha Epsilon chapter at Western Illinois University had a rewarding rush as the chapter took in nineteen pledges. They are fantastic girls and their enthusiasm will be an asset to our chapter.

They surprised the leaving seniors when they took them on a steal to the University of Illinois for a wild weekend.

Homecoming weekend was full of excitement when many alumnae returned for the weekend.

Sisters had a fun time working on a float with Sigma Pi fraternity and attended the Yell Like Hell pep rally.

After Homecoming, work began on Greek Week activities. Each fall , all Greeks on campus compete in "Greek Week," ending with the annual Sigma Sing contest. The highlight was when the Alpha Taus won first place over all sororities for both Sigma Sing and Greek Week. Greek Olympics and collecting for multiple sclerosis are among some of the events Alpha Epsilons participated in.

Next came our Fall Party which was based on a tropical theme. It was held at the house and many hours went into transforming our basement into a tropical isle. Pina coladas, fruit punch , and other tropical beverages were served and fresh fruits and vegetables were among the many hors d'oeuvres.

Sisters wore Hawaiian and floral dresses with flowers in their hair and leis around their necks. It was an enjoyable evening for all.

Chris Nugent, Zeta District President, made a visit to our chapter this fall. Alpha Epsilons had a chance to chat with her about their offices and to get new insights.

Founder's Day was celebrated November 4th with the annual all sorority dinner. President, Sue Goding was elected Top Tau for the semester. Barb Siedler was AE candidate for the Foxy Lady Con test.

For fun and excitement, Alpha Epsilons attended many exchanges. A "Wild , Wild West" exchange and a "Pearl Harbor" exchange were a few of the themes.

As the fall semester came to an end, Alpha Epsilons are anticipating semester break and Winter Party.

Chapter Honors this semester include: 1st Place, Greek Week-Sorority Division; 1st Place, Sigma Sing; 1st Place, Greek Olympics, 1st Place, Banner Contest; 1st Place , Big Brothers Big Wheels Race; 2nd Place, Greek Week, 2nd Place, Yell-Like-Hell; and AE is the largest sorority on campus!

Alpha Sigmas Redecorate The sorority chapter room , located on our wing in Brewer Hall, the Panhellenic residence hall, was redecorated over the summer by sisters living in the area. The room was painted oriental ivory, the carpet, a verigated orange, beige and brown, was laid and new furniture, a couch and love seat, was moved in. New drapes of brown, beige and orange were installed and a new color television adds much for entertainment. Macrame wall hangings and light fixtures were made by two sisters, Sue Raney and Carolyn Glascock.

Even before rush began in the fall , Alpha Sigma was active. Spring pledge Denise Oloteo was initiated and Toni Johnson was installed as the new vice president. For money-making projects, sisters put their efforts together with a car wash and garage sale.

Rush began two weeks after the beginning of the semester. The week began with a new event, "Brewer Hall Open House" where all rushees were shown the Panhellenic residence hall. Just what we had asked for, a chance to show off our chapter room!

Formal rush parties started with five informal parties. Our theme was "Marti Tau" with sisters dressing up in Marti Gras costumes. Displays of members' interests and activities were set up and a short skit presented. Three formal parties followed with the theme "Hollywood Premiere. " Home movies of sorority activities were taken and made into a presentation for the rushees to see us in action.

On Sunday, two preferential parties were held.

"Yellow Roses Become You" was the theme. Short speeches and a candlelighting ceremony entertained the rushees. Yell-in finished rush and Alpha Sigma had three pledges. Open rush began and soon we welcomed nine more pledges.

October started with pin pledging and Big Sis, Little Sis ceremonies. Our pledges, Jackie Saner, Debbie Barnes, Melody Boessen, Charmel Hux, Kathy Lewis, Sandy McKinney, Teresa O'Brien, Candy Pettinger, Susan Smith, Sandy Streb, and Sue Streb were all anxious to start their pledge seasons.

October 25 was the NMSU pep rally at Stokes Stadium for Homecoming. After the victorious football game over Warrensburg, we entertained visiting alums and guests in the chapter room with punch and cake.

In November we were honored with a visit by Chris Nuguent, our District President. Chris met with each of us and provided many good ideas and supportive materials.

On November 17, everyone put on their shorts and t-shirts for the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority volleyball tournament. With team spirit and total group effort Alpha Sigma won first place.

The end of the month was filled with many activities. The Sorority Growth and Development committee took advantage of Alpha Sigma sister Ginger Daniel, whose travel experiences in England 34

provided interesting entertainment. Ginger presented a slide show and small informative speech about her trip.

Social chairman Toni Johnson arranged mixers with Alpha Gamma Rho , Phi Lambda Chi, and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities.

December started well with activation on the seventh. The new actives celebrated the well deserved and awaited event with a party at the Atlas House afterwards.

Eta District Rho Receives Campus Award Rho Chapter plunged into rush this Fall semester with a Back-to-School Party. The open house, which followed was a smashing success and afterwards, coke dates were planned. The Chapter held Bid House. For Fall1979, the Rho Chapter proudly picked up five pledges. They included: Donna Marlin , Stacy Warthen , Pam Williamson , Tammy Stillwell and Kelley Mackey.

Later in September we were honored with a visit from our District President, Susan Temple. Ms. Temple stayed with us for a few days, and the girls were delighted to get to know her. We ended September with an Alpha Sigma Tau display table at Southeastern's Parent's Day and were proud to have two Alpha Tau's serving punch to the visiting parents and families.

October found Rho Chapter selling candles and frantically preparing for Homecoming. A head start selling Christmas candles turned out to be a most profitable project. At Homecoming, Rho's Mickey Mouse float captivated the hearts of Southeastern and the town of Durant. President, Melissa Jarvis, was a finalist in the Homecoming Queen Contest.

After the game we hosted a reception for the alumnae and were delighted to see so many of the "Old Gang. " We topped off October with a grand, hot dog cookout.

Melissa Jarvis was chosen to represent the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity as their White Rose for 1979-1980. Donna Marlin (pledge) was chosen by the Fall 1979 Sigma Tau Gamma Pledge Class as their Rosebud. The Phi Sigma Epsilon Fall 1979 Pledge Class announced Kelly Thomas as their Sweetheart.

A dinner commemorating Founder's Day was the highlight of November. Both sororities on campus gathered at Kemp's Barbecue and the Rho Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was exceedingly proud to receive a personal award from Dr. Hibbs, President of Southeastern Oklahoma State University, for their active participation and enthusiasm in college affairs.

Rho sisters were also honored to assist with th renowned Wallace Silver Survey.

New pledges helped give a luncheon to raise money for the chips big brother organization and made and sold subs (sandwiches) on campus.

For this quarter's SG&D Program the Alpha Lambdas attended Atlanta Ballet's performance of Cinderella on the Radford University campus.

Homecoming brought the return of alumnae who joined Alpha Lambdas for a spaghetti dinner and sing-a-long.

To Alpha Lambda the fall just wouldn't be the same without the annual party when each senior receives an A2T mug. The party's time and place are kept secret from the seniors. The little sisters of the seniors are responsible for getting the seniors to the party, usually by kidnapping them.

It was a real Tau-rrifying Halloween on Radford's campus this year. The Alpha Lambdas sponsored the annual Halloween dance in real 2T style.

November fourth marked the annual celebration of National Founder's Day. The Alpha Lambdas went to dinner together which was followed by a ceremony remembering our founding sisters.

Before leaving on Thanksgiving break, members collected food and clothing for the needy in the area so they could enjoy their holiday too.

AT Celebrates 33rd Birthday The Alpha Gamma chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau celebrated Founder's Day on Sunday, November 4.

This is Alpha Sigma Tau's eightieth birthday, and the Alpha Gamma chapter's thirty-third birthday. It was chartered on the Henderson State University campus on May 5, 1946, and prides itself in being the oldest sorority on the Henderson campus.

They honored this occasion by attending church services at the First Methodist Church of Arkadelphia. Following the church service they had a potluck dinner in honor of the alumnae. An alumna delivered a short speech and recited a poem she had written about what the Sorority has meant to her.

They closed the ceremony with a candle lighting service for one of their new pledges.

Theta District Visions of Green and Gold, AA Early in our school term AA was visited by National President, Mrs. T J. King, Jr. Her visit inspired each girl as they began Pan hellenic Formal Rush . At the first rush party, a slide show was given to acquaint rushees with the Chapter. The second party was in AA's traditional "Sleepy l1me Tau" theme.

Rushees watched a skit about an ugly turtle , enjoyed doughnuts and hot chocolate, sang, and left with their own Tau Teddy. That evening they must have had visions of green and gold in their sleep because when preferentials were matched AA gained the Taurrific Ten pledge class.

Iota District PHI'S Are First in Spirit and Rush!

On Friday night, October 26, some 70 S .L.U. A2T's stopped their screaming, waving of flags, and throwing of confetti-just long enough to hear the judges announce that A2T was the winner of the 1979 Spirit Trophy-the most coveted award among Southeastern 's organizations. It was awarded to A2T for its display of spirit throughout the entire semester. PHis also sponsored the 2nd, annual "Wild and Crazy Pep-rally" at which all participants dressed appropriately. A2T and ~T .l fraternity tied for first place.

Spirit is not the only area in which PHI chapter has ranked first. After a series of many workshops throughout the summer and first week of school, A2T ended rush reaching quota, resulting in 29 new pledges-the highest number reached by any of Southeastern's sororities. Special thanks to Karen Hudson for her hard work as rush chairman.

As Sorority Growth and Development Projects this semester, we have held a rededication ceremony, a Tau Appreciation Week, and participated in a "Career Awareness Night" sponsored by the Southeastern Panhellenic Council.

PHis celebrated Founder's Day this year with a Banquet at S.L.U. 's Eastside Cafeteria. Alumnae members presented the chapter with monetary gifts, and many much-needed gifts for use in the Chapter Suite. On Monday, Nov. 5 , all A- Ts wore the sorority uniform and ribbons saying " - T Founders' Day: 1899-1979."

Fall Rush for the Beta Zetas The Beta Zetas in Birmingham, Alabama had a fantastic and fun-filled Fall quarter. To get the quarter off to a great start the Beta Zetas went head long into Fall Rush in September with the Traditional tea and two spectacular theme parties.

Everyone seemed to be in the Tropical Spirit of Rush with the Monday night theme party "Tau-hiti. " The adventure took place at the Ramada Inn and the convention room was immediately turned into a tropical paradise. The setting was filled with pineapples, leis, Hawaiian Punch and bundles of grass skirts.

The second Beta Zeta theme party was titled "Anchors Away." The entire chapter made their very own sailor outfits with red ties and anchor patches. There seemed to be an aroma of the salty ocean air floating around . The decor consisted of fish nets, shells, model ships, and baskets of fish crackers, lifesavers, and other things necessary for the seafaring Taus.

After a very touching preferential party, the Beta Zetas are pleased to welcome their new pledges: Debbie Brackett, Joan Calvert, Diane Dameron , Sherry Escue, Christine Foft, Pam Frith , Paula Hawkins, Chip Miles, Renee Philpot, Vicki Shots, Terry ides, Rosanne Tombrello, ecelia Watts.

After rush, the pledges and actives started preparations for the annual Founder's Day Banquet to be held on November 3. Teresa Kampis did an excellent job in the preparations. Everywhere you looked there were Tau Badges and many handsome faces.

Mrs. Sybil King, the National President, presented the Sybil King Scholarship Award to Patty Smith for highest QPA-this wa~ the second year she won the award. Terry Dudley and Diane Scucchi, alumnae, were given special recognition from the chapter for their outstanding work during Rush and the whole year.

On behalf of the Birmingham alumnae, Diane Scucchi, Chapter Advisor, presented the BZ's with an official AlT banner which she made. The chapter would like to thank Dianne for the wonderful work she did and for the long hours that were put into the making of the new official banner.

Awards were presented to Mary Yeatman and Sandy Whitney as Most Spirited and, Outstanding Pledge of 1979 was Sandy Whitney. Sandy was presented a gift from the pledges for her leadership as Pledge Trainer and each Little Sis presented their Big Sis with beautiful yellow roses.

Beta Thetas on the Go The Beta Theta chapter at St. Mary's opened this Fall semester with an overnight retreat at beautiful Camp Tecaboca. The weekend mixed fun events, such as hiking and swimming, with serious sessions devoted to strengthening the ties of sisterhood among the members. The Taus returned to campus determined to make this the best semester ever for Beta Theta.

Rush activities began with an open party and concluded with a Muppet Movie theme party on September 16. Using the Muppet characters, several of the Taus presented a skit explaining the meaning of sorority to the rushees. The high point of the afternoon was Debbie Miller's performance of her song "Friendship," which won a first place award in this year's AlT song contest. Congratulations Debbie!

Beta Theta's eight newest members began pledge period with Ribbon Pledging on September 19.

During this eight-week period they helped with all sorority activities and raised money for their dues with a raffle and a Mad Hatter Halloween Dance.

The November 4 Founder's Day celebration presented an opportunity to meet Taus attending the University of Texas in San Antonio. After a rededication ceremony, Beta Theta held a buffet luncheon with several alumnae and with the Beta Lambda chapter from UTSA. Each Tau brought her favorite dish for lunch and joined in singing sorority ong after the meal.

sponsored by a local business, pushed celebrity Vic Tayback in a bedrace to benefit cerebral palsy victims. The Beta Theta team did not win the race but it was definitely the most spirited team prese~t.

For its second project the sorority took twenty underpriviledged children to the zoo for the afternoon on October 28. Special treats for the children included a ride on a real elephant, Halloween bags from the costumed pledges, and all the popcorn they could eat. Beta Theta's most recent project was a successful Thanksgiving Food Drive, which collected money and canned goods to make food baskets for needy families.

Other fun activities this semester have included the annual fall dance, which this year was named the AIT Fall Affair, and intramural sporting events.

The Tau softball team took third place in the women's division, and the basketball team is now working hard to become the campus champs.

Plans for the last month of this semester include a Coffeehouse on December 4 to present campus talent, and a formal Christmas party and dance on December 7.

Before departing for Christmas break, members shared the Christmas spirit at a gift exchange party.

In addition to group activities several members were nominated to Who 's Who in American Colleges and Universities . They are Patricia Tompkins, Elizabeth Morris, Angela Jerome, Donna Johann, Sue Leibert, and Sue Dawson. Once again four of our sisters participated in College Bowl competition, making it to the semi-finals. They are Angela Jerome, Denise Panyik-Dale, Elizabeth Morris, and Donna Johann. Angela Jerome, is a certified instructor of cardio pulmonary resusitation (CPR) and instructed the Beta Eta chapter in CPR procedures as a SG&D program.

The chapter is planning for Winter and Spring rush , in addition to the annual Valentine Day Carnation Sale and Spring Formal.

Lambda District AK's Entertain District President

Kappa District Beta Eta Celebrates Founder's Day On September 8 , BE joined together to share in the joy of sister Denise Panyik as she became Mrs. Dale.

Social events were not the only activities to keep the Beta Eta's busy. While it may have seemed like a quiet summer to other Greeks on campus, the Alpha Taus were secretly working to make Fall rush unforgettable. And it certainly was. At 6:30a.m. on the first day of rush we stretched a 33'x4' material banner across a building. During the summer, letters were mailed to girls entering the university and soon replies began to pour in.

During rush week we had two parties. On October 5 we had a hayride, and on October 7 we held a formal tea. Our Edwardsville Alumnae attended, helping us tremendously with rush. The work resulted in four excellent pledges; Kathy Pritchett (president), Sue Dawson (treasurer), Linda Partney (secretary), and Donna Littlefield (fund raising) . On November 25 they treated the actives to a wine and cheese party. The actives are not the only ones who have been busy, the pledges have had bakesales, a turkey raffle, and service projects.

On October 28, BH was privileged to host District President, Mrs. Larry Sparks. After a productive and informative meeting with Mrs. Sparks, a progressive dinner was held in her honor.

A slide show on the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair highlighted this year's Founder's Day hosted by the St. Louis Alumnae. After the presentation , together with the St. Louis and Edwardsville Alumnae, we renewed our faith and loyality in Alpha Sigma Tau during a candlelight ceremony.

After a very restful summer break, the Alpha Kappas of Marietta College began two weeks of formal rush from which they gained six pledge sisters; Kim Brown, Nancy Brucken , Tammie Caprara, Marti Glaser, Lisa Schockling and Julie Zmij. During the months of October and November, the sisters held informal rush parties, setting a goal for themselves of picking up at least four new pledges by December.

The Alpha Kappas participated in Marietta's homecoming by putting on the Broadway play "Annie" for serenades. After the homecoming football game, the chapter held an informal tea for all visiting and local alumnae.

The sisters were pleased to have Lambda District President Carol Marsico for a visit November 9 through 10. During that time Mrs. Marsico met with all the sisters individually to discuss any problems or questions they might have. She also attended a business meeting and luncheon held in her honor at the sorority house.

The Alpha Kappas have been involved in many activities on and off campus. Among them was the collection of aluminum cans for a $700 prize offered by the Miller Beer company. The chapter also helped with a local cross-country race in Marietta handing out drinks for the runners and donated canned goods for a Thanksgiving basket. The sisters held their traditional gift exchange between the big sisters and little sisters.

This year's pledge class presented the big sisters with pillows and, in return , the big sisters gave the little sisters decorated boxes.

In November the chapter held its annual Thanksgiving dinner with the alumnae and invited guests.

The chapter's plans for the remainder of the fall 37

semester include a Christmas party with the alumnae and making plans for the Regional Day to be held at Marietta College in the spring.

Alpha Tau "Is Going Places" Beta Delta's "Cup Runneth Over" The Alpha Tau Chapter at Edinboro State College began this semester in full swing. Working hard , the Sisters have lived up to the slogan "AlT is Going Places." &ginning with summer and early fall rush, the Sisters were determined to build the membership of our chapter. On September 21 , seven energetic, enthusiastic women became pledges of Alpha Sigma Tau. Their kidnaps, scavenger hunts and pranks kept the Sisters on their toes and uncertain of what would occur from one minute to the next. Pledging proved to be a memorable and eventful time for both the pledges and Sisters. The events continued when on November 11 , we proudly initiated Dawn Boer! , Carol Lloyd , Pauline Penrod, Chrissy Hawes, Ellyn Hill, Mary Kay Macik and Cindi Proctor.

A few of our Sisters in the Alpha Tau Chapter should be recognized and congratulated for the honors they have received. ~nn Marie Pavlik was elected president of Kappa Delta Pi (Education Honorary). Janis Mary Thoma was initiated into Kappa Delta Pi and received the honor of Top Tau in the Spring of 1979.

After having our seven pledges initiated, Alpha Tau didn't stop there but picked up a pledge class of two in November. Vici Mroch and Eileen Kinner were pinned and ribboned just in time for the pledge dance. This year 's dance was held at the Holiday Inn at Edinboro and turned out to be a success.

Alpha Tau was invited to celebrate our National Founder's Day in Canfield, Ohio with Alumnae of

The Beta Deltas of Duquesne University have reaped a fruitful harvest this fall. Together with the brothers of Alpha Tau Omega, the girls wrote and produced a winning play for September's all-Greek Carnival. "My Cup Runneth Over," which took second place, won the sorority three additional awards.

Jeannie Furgieule won both the best actress and best female vocalist awards, while Ria Duffy won the best supporting actress competition.

Rush began soon after, and Bid Day saw the girls with five additional pledges. They are Mary Monteverde , Claudia Evers, Julie Ritchey, Betty Guerrini, Judy Ruggeiro and Janet Fraine. The girls recently ended their pledge period with "Sorority Feud" (a take-off on "Family Feud" ). In this game, the pledges had to answer trivia questions about the girls and the chapter in general.

November's Dance Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy brought sister Denise Flynn and Zeta Beta Tau brother Tommy McGovern many warm memories. Denise and Tommy danced for 52 hours for "Jerry's kids." The Beta Deltas collected for the couple and sponsored a guess-the-number-ofcandy-in-the-jar booth.

Sadly enough, the Beta Deltas are suffering a loss in December. Ria Duffy, who is presently our Rush Chairman and Housing Chairman, is leaving Duquesne to pursue an advertising internship in Philadelphia. Her dedication, wit and creativity will be sorely missed by her fellow sisters.

Beta Deltas rest during Greek Carnival Activities.

Beckley Alumnae Love Selling Doughnuts

Buffalo Gives Ritual Assistance to Sigma

The Beckley Alumnae have taken their fund raising seriously. They have had three very successful doughnut sales. And what they have done with the money has been put to good use.

They sent money to the Omicron chapter at Concord College for the Yellow Rose in May 1979. The collegiate chapter deeply appreciated the donation.

The Beckley Alumnae were also able to present a check to the collegiates at the Founder's Day dinner.

This money will go towards building an Alpha Sigma Tau lodge at Concord College.

The Beckley Alumnae try to keep up with Sisters that now have little ones and those that have gotten married. They send some token of Tau love to these sisters. The token may be as simple as a yellow rose or an ornament for a Christmas tree .

A number of alumnae sisters were able to attend Concord College's homecoming in October 1979.

The collegiate chapter held a wine and cheese party.

The alumnae met all the actives and the pledges.

The alumnae signed the pledges little green books with words of encouragement.

The Beckley Alumnae is a small group but the sisterhood the girls share is very evident. Selling doughnuts can be tiring but in the end the alum' s all agree it's worth treading the streets. They get turned down at some houses but that doesn' t stop them.

The year's activities began in September, with a picnic dinner at the home of Patricia Nichols. Each member brought one of her favorite dishes to share.

Committee chairmen shared their ideas, and the activities for the coming year were planned.

The October meeting was held at the home of Dolores Schmidt. Helene Blackledge was the cohostess. The packing of a suitcase was demonstrated, and slides of Hawaii were presented.

Founders Day was celebrated with a luncheon on Saturday, November 3rd. Edith Eckert, chairman for this event, invited a speaker from the Food and Drug Administration, who enlightened members about food additives.

Beverly Bollard presented a bound copy of The History of Alpha Sigma Tau , and a tape recorder to Sigma Chapter, that was recently reinstated. Colleen Bolton (Mary's daughter) , and Lucille Peterson made tape recordings of sorority songs and ceremonials for the Sigma Chapter.

In November, the dessert meeting was at the home of Norma Martin, with Jean McNamara. the co-hostess. A member of the Historical Society gave a presentation on family changes in the 19th c ntury.

The year ha just begun and the Buffalo Alumn Chapter is looking forward to th many acti iti planned for the rest of the bu ar.

Detroit Ill Hosts Founders' Day Detroit Alumnae have enjoyed delightful finales to the year's activities at the home of Elsie Leberg Walsh in Franklin. Special thanks are appropriate for her kindness and continued interest and support of Alpha Sigma Tau. The teachers' strike in Detroit provided time fo r September hostess Diane Peters to literally put her house in order to provide a warm and peaceful setting for the planning session and fall reunion.

Little was seen of hostess Kathy Pulice at October's meeting. Kathy's responsibilities as collegiate advisor took up most of the evening as an unexpected emergency caught Theta Chapter in need of her counsel. Although hectic, the evening was productive. Arrangements for Founders Day were finalized.

Grosse Pointe War Memorial provided a beautiful fall setting for the metropolitan Founders Day luncheon on November 3. Diane Peters handled arrangements and served as mistress of ceremonies.

Guests were greeted at a table staffed by Joyce Stephens and Donna Psieneski at which Christmas cards were available from the Michigan Association of Emotionally Disturbed Children. Chocolate turkeys and yellow chocolate roses were made by Barbara Koscierzynski to be sold for social service projects. The tables were decorated with souvenir brandy snifters engraved with AIT 1899-1979 which added to the symbolism of the day. Guests were delighted to welcome Alpha District President Ann Gruber who came from Grand Rapids for the occasion. Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor had a strong contin gent present as they do each year the metropolitan Founders Day is held in Detroit. Guest speaker Nancy Pilorget who lived in India, spoke from personal knowledge of the woman's role in India and demonstrated the beauty of the country with her striking artifacts. A monetary gift was presented to the collegiate with the highest grade point average.

Detroit Alumnae expressed their good wishes to Donna Psieneski who left in November for her new role to train as a personnel officer with the Army.

Joann Heller and Ferne Phipps represented the sorority at the Alumnae Panhellenic Orientation Party. The alumnae met at the house to discuss with the collegians the priorities for new furnishings for the house and to offer ideas related to the kind of furnishings best suited to the decor and needs for the future .

The alumnae are now busily helping to make name tags, favors and anything else they can do in preparation for Regional Day on April 26th. Plans are being made to assist the collegians in working with the emotionally disturbed girls from Oak Grove School; as part of this program the collegians hope to set up a little sister arrangement with the girls.

As we begin the decade of the 80s, MariettaParkersburg looks forward to a larger, stronger alumnae chapter and more opportunities to express the principle that sisterhood in Alpha Sigma Tau is forever.

New Orleans Alumnae Adopt for Charity During the summer months, the New Orleans Alumnae met occasionally for lunch at various places in the New Orleans area. The alums were invited to a picnic hosted by Phi Chapter in Hammond at Kate Square. It was a beautiful day and a good time to discuss plans for the fall semester especially Rush. Some alumnae were able to visit Phi during their most successful Rush parties. The New Orleans Alumnae also assisted in offering food and goodies for the Preference party.

Officers of the New Orleans Alumnae for 197980 are Ann Marie Duffy, president; Mignonne Bankston, vice-president; Kay Johnson, treasurer; Cindy Guillory, secretary; Anita Gradwohl, chaplain; Marilyn Teal and Cheryl Strauss, social service; Kathy Seeger, historian ; Rita Anne Bertolino, editor; Kathy Seeger and Rita Anne Bertolino, collegiate correspondents.

An October hayride and bonfire was held on the Mississippi River. Along with the alums were our Phi sisters and their dates. Alpha Taus gathered around the fire and roasted wieners, marshmallows, drank their favorite beverage, and enjoyed the company!

Some alumnae attended the Southeastern La. University Homecoming in Hammond. After the parade, the homecoming game began. During half time, Loretta Luchuck, a collegiate, was presented as a maid on the court and the Alpha Tau w re presented the Homecoming Spirit Trophy. Th refore, it was quite an enjoyable vi it for th lum .

THE AN H R

Anniversary Founders Day banquet. Gifts were presented to the chapter to help furnish their chapter suite.

Money making projects for the fall season consisted of selling Christmas candles and a raffle on a cocktail basket. The basket consisted of wines, cheeses, liqueurs, fresh fruit, and more. Each member donated something to be placed in the basket, therefore all money received on the raffle was profit.

Social service activities include adopting a family to help in times of need. The family consists of a grandmother, mother, and a 10 year old son. For Thanksgiving, the family was given a ham, fresh vegetables and fruits, and canned goods. During the Christmas season, the family was presented a gift certificate for a shopping spree at a local grocery store. Members of the alumnae group also brought wrapped gifts to the family. The alumnae still have 5 adopted boys at Magnolia School and brought many Christmas gifts to each of them.

The annual Christmas party was held at the home of Marcia Barr. Everyone brought a covered dish and exchanged gifts. The alums were delighted to have many collegiates attend and participate in the exchange of gifts. At this time the winner of the raffle was chosen and announced.

The New Orleans group has concentrated on communications with Phi Chapter and social service projects. As the year comes to a close, the alums are looking forward to the new year with many new beginnings, new ideas, and welcoming new alumnae members to the group.

Cathy Schneider presents Mr. Lawson of Children's Hospital with the $2,000 check from AST

Children's Hospital Receives Check Northern Virginia Alumnae began the year early, as in August a committee from the group met with Mr. Lawson, representing National Children's Hospital and presented to him a check for $2,000.00 for the furnishing of room 4114. The room is near the nurses' station on the fourth floor and has a beautiful view of the U.S. Capitol. A door plaque depicting a sun shining through a colorful rainbow, was created by one of the young patients and identifies the room as a project of Alpha Sigma Tau. The alums have been working on the project for more than two years, and have participated in a Charity Bazaar to earn most of the money. This ye.a r they are taking a well-deserved rest. The mam social service funding this year will come from a Bakeless Bake Sale. Each member will decide what she would have baked or what craft items she would have made and will contribute the comparable sum of money in lieu of doing the actual wor~. The special projects for this year are Camp Tapawmgo, a summer program for mentally retarded youngsters, and the Physically Handicapped of Fairfax County Schools.

The year officially began with a potluck dinner at Beth Kendrick's home on September 19. Approximately twenty-five AlT's enjoyed delicious food and warm fellowship.

THE ANCHOR

The plaque designed by a patient of the hospital reads •This room is given in the name of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority Northern Virginia Chapter."

The October meeting with Helen Sours, featured a speaker, Lee Jackson , a social worker with physically handicapped children of Fairfax County schools. She spoke about the special needs of these children and their families. The group contributed $50.00 to Parents of Physically Handicapped to be used in aiding a family in need.

A White Elephant auction provided a light touch to the evening, and the money went into the social service fund .

Founders Day was celebrated with a luncheon at the Marco Polo restaurant in Vienna. Twenty sisters joined together in a very impressive re-dedication ceremony.

The group ended 1979 with the annual Christmas party at Cathy Schriner's home. New members were initiated, Christmas carols were sung, and gifts were exchanged.

Philadelphia Celebrates Founders Day After a summer of vacationing and traveling, Philadelphia Alumnae re-grouped in October at the new home of Corresponding Secretary Margaret Brown in Huntingdon Valley. Following luncheon and a business meeting, they planned a calendar of events for the 1979-80 year that began with a special event in November, the Founders Day luncheon.

For this special gathering, Taus met at Williamson's Restaurant in Horsham. President Betty Allison welcomed members who described their present activities. A range of graduation years--from 1929 to 1949-was represented. President Allison also introduced the luncheon speaker, representing the 1980 Olympic Committee, Susan Hooten, presently a medical student at Temple University. Mrs. Hooten was on the U.S. Women's Olympic Rowing Team in Montreal in 1976, the first time women's rowing was recognized in Olympic competition. She explained how members of an Olympic team are chosen and she impressed the alumnae with the amount of discipline and commitment necessary for serious Olympic competition. She assured listeners that "all the work is worth it" and she said that she believed the U.S. Women's Rowing team would have a good chance at winning medals next summer.

Assisting the President at the hostessing details were Vice-President Becky Rooks and Recording Secretary Lois O' Dell. Special guest was Diane Loux, president of the Delta District, who brought news from national headquarters in this eighty-first year of A~T existence. This long and meaningful life was appropriately acknowledged by the traditional candle-lighting service which concluded this special meeting.

Continuing their joyful mood, Taus celebrated their friendship and the Christmas season at the home of Betty Allison in Haverford in December.

Following luncheon , Mildred and Fred Day presented a holiday program of Christmas music.

Pittsburgh Alumnae Hold Summer Fund-Raisers The summer months gave the Greater Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter a great opportunity to mix work with pleasure. The summer began with a combination picnic-Sarah Coventry-Tupperware party held on a lovely May Sunday in Schenley Park for sisters, families and friends. It was quite a success and gave a much needed boost to our treasury.

S ummer months traditionally bring to Pittsburgh

46

hot, humid days, open air markets and plenty of insects. The local alums used their great Tau ingenuity and held a flea market in the eastern suburbs. Although the day was not as beautiful as the one in May, the steamy July rain did not dampen the spirits of the buyers or sellers and the flea market was such a success that another was planned for September. It, too, was ~ huge success, buyers being attracted by happy Taus proclaiming that, "Everything on this table costs a quarter." The flea markets left the Pittsburgh Alumnae with a healthy treasury and a lot of cleaned out closets! All leftovers were donated to a local charity.

The summer was concluded with a formal meeting in which new officers were elected and fall activities were planned. The new officers are President Michelle Morozek, Vice President Barb Stahl, Recording-Corresponding Secretary Mary Jo Tooey, Treasurer Cheryl McDonald, Social Services Chairman Mary Ruth Erickson , Chaplain-Editor Debbie Colabrese, Membership Chairman Lisa Framiglio.

In addition to the September flea market, fall activities also included a Founders Day dinner held November 2 at the Rusty Scupper in downtown Pittsburgh. The Christmas season will begin early in Pittsburgh as a Wine & Cheese/ Recipe Exchange party is planned for December 1st.

Future plans will be centered around the planning of the National Convention to be held in this fair city in July. Also being planned is a formal installation of new alumnae in January. A social service project involving emotionally & socially disturbed children is being planned for the Spring.

Tau Tidbits: September brought with it a bouncing baby boy to Patty Pace and husband John. A hearty welcome to newest alumnae members, Lisa Framiglio and Barb Stahl. Wedding congratulations to Linda Trujillo Nimick and husband Bill, married May 19th and to Mary Ruth Strain and Ken Erickson, (Tlarried October 20th. Parents-to-be congratulations are in order for Joanne Genova Sujansky and husband Chuck. The stork is due to arrive sometime in late February.

was a movie entitled "Syper in the Snow." The movie led into a discussion of the Children's Center our social service project. The Center is a residenc~ for emotionally disturbed children in Roanoke. The money making project, selling Current stationary, began and will be held through the month of September. Proceeds go to help the Children's Center and our Scholarship Fund.

In October members met at the Hollins Fire and Rescue Department. There the girls saw a film and learned about CPR. This was a very informative and worthwhile program.

The traditional Founders Day Banquet was held November 1, at La Maison De Gourmet. Pam Brewbaker was initiated into our group.

St. Louis Alumnae Golden But Not Olden The first meeting of the fall followed the enjoyable and filling pot luck supper. The 'catching up' on summer activities is always part of the fun .

Founders Day was celebrated with the Edwardsville Alumnae and Beta Eta. A banquet was held at the Clayton Inn, the view from the 24th floor was impressive. The main part of the program was a slide presentation of the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 and those same sites in Forest Park today. As the slides were blended, the transformation from now to then took place. The Edwardsville Alumnae presented awards to their collegiate chapter and a special collegiate. The group announced a monetary award to be presented to the Top Tau of Alpha Nu (Warrensburg). We have given awards to Beta Eta and Alpha Sigma Top Taus in the past.

Next year will be the fiftieth anniversary of the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter. The celebration will be held at Founder's Day next year. This is your invitation to plan now to be at the special occasion in 1980!

One of the members, Marie Nemnich, went to Poland and several other countries this summer.

She shared her visit with us through slides and a Polish meal (with help from Maxine Graflage, our president) at our October meeting.

A Christmas luncheon will be held at the home of Janis Marshall. This will be a time of relaxing and enjoying the friendship that comes from all sisters together.

The St. Louis Alumnae have established a scholarship on the campus of University of Missouri--St. Louis. The first award was given this fall to a high ranking junior in the field of special education. The membership suggested requirements for the recipient. Carolyn Alexander and Lillian Schippers helped with the establishing of the scholarship with the University.

Stephanie Bocks, vice-president, is working to get a colony on the campus at UMSL. It takes a lot of time and effort.

Some planning has taken place for the Country Store at Convention. The crafts of willing and gifted members will be the results.

THE ANCHOR

A theater party In the spring is being considered as a fund raising event for our Emotionally Disturbed Children's Fund. We have used this event in the past with success and some hard work.

San Antonio Gets The Ball Rolling

San Antonio Gets The Ball Rolling This may be the first time you've heard from us.

And this is only the beginning! The San Antonio Alumnae Chapter was installed in December, 1978 with seven alumnae. Their activities were few until Fall of 1979 when Founder's Day was just around the corner. Fast communications with Beta Theta and Beta Lambda chapters proved rewarding when we invited ourselves to share in the Founder's Day activities which included: a special Founder's Day mass, Beta Theta's re-dedication service, and a "Pot Luck" dinner with the two collegiates.

With the help of Beta Theta's chapter advisor, Sr. Ann Semel, we met as a group to formulate ideas and to re-organize ourselves. As a result, we decided to make green and gold pillows to present to the newly initiated members of Beta Theta. This small activity was the new beginning.

On December 16, 1979, five more alumnae were initiated into the San Antonio Alumnae by Debra Ort. In January, several alums supported Beta Theta's annual "Las Vegas Night" which has always been a gala affair. We gambled the night away.

A dessert party and meeting, with election of officers, is scheduled in a few weeks. We are looking forward to a good year for AST in San Antonio.

Fashion and Poetry Entertain Shepherdstown Highlights of the September meeting included program planning. Lots of creative ideas were tossed around the group in the process of scheduling the year's calendar. A few excellent ones were finally chosen. They include an Aeorbic Dance demonstration ; a Home Energy Conservation slide presentation, and a special Christmas craft "handson" activity. Variety is our goal!

Fall fashions with colorful and unusual accessories were the topic of a fashion show in October.

Gary Moreland of Moreland's Dry Goods and Notions in Shepherdstown provided his shop for the show. Three women from the Shepherdstown area served as models for the show, giving the alums many exciting ideas for adding glamorous accessories to basic clothing pieces.

As is tradition, November brought the Founders Day banquet with Chi Chapter. This year, collegiates and alums gathered at the Sizzling Steak House in Martinsburg. Of special interest were the table favors . Some of the alumnae members fashioned yellow felt roses into napkin rings, which

47

were later worn as corsages. Our program was a humorously delightful poetry recital. Mrs. Stella Bascue of Martinsburg has collected and memorized very old poems for many years. She entertained the group with several witty and whimsical pieces.

December will find us making a craft, and preparing for the holiday season. Happy Holidays to all!

Fund Raising Activities Vary For the second consecutive year the Southern Colorado Alumnae Club has organized and held a Founder's Day celebration in Colorado Springs.

This year the group met at Tommy Wong's restaurant for a very fine buffet luncheon. Members also held a candlelighting service and elected officers for the coming year. Nancy Horvath was elected president, Barbara Smith, vice-president, Grace Riester secretary, and Mary Taber treasurer.

During the past year the sisters have done many fun things like going out for lunch (which is always fun) , and meeting together at each other's homes to talk and share our ideas about sorority matters. This year, the club is raising money to donate to the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs by selling Current stationery and by collecting aluminum cans for recycling. Future fund -raising efforts will include a garage sale to be held next spring.

The group also has plans for a Christmas party with a cookie and gift exchange, dinner out with our husbands for Valentine's Day, a house and garden tour and a tour of historical Old Colorado City.

Festive Fall for West Chester West Chester Alumnae have a busy Fall/Winter calendar planned. Founders Day was celebrated with the Alpha Phi Chapter at West Chester State College. The beautiful rededication ceremony was made even more meaningful by the large turn-out of both collegiate and alumnae sisters. It was a pleasure to have Lois 0 ' Dell, Director of Alumnae Chapters, in attendance.

The holiday season will be ushered in by a festive covered dish dinner in early December at Kathy Riemer McDonald's. Each sister will contribute her best culinary effort to insure the success of this event. Everyone will depart with the best gift of all, a delicious new recipe for future entertaining!

-Cathy Angelo

A Christmas party was held in lieu of the December meeting. Sisters gathered to enjoy Christmas songs, a gift exchange, and of course, good company.

The alums have been involved in several money-making projects to donate money to Toys of Love lending library which lends learning impaired children manipulative, educational toys.

Diane Weissinger Thomas is the proud mother of a bouncing baby boy, Stephen Scott.

Youngstown members hope to see as many sisters as possible at the 1980 convention in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania in July. (The Youngstown alums are sponsoring the formal banquet.)

Treats-No Tricks The Ypsilanti Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter enjoyed a fun filled afternoon at Yorkwood Center in Ypsilanti by treating approximately 45 children to a pre-Halloween party on October 28th. Shrills of laughter filled the gym as the youngsters aged 8 to 18 bobbed for apples, made up their faces with real stage make- up, and dangled for donuts. Prizes were packaged and given to all participants and special awards were given to those who were tops in each of the events. Other treats such as cider, doughnuts, and other home-made refreshments rounded out the afternoon. However, the most pleasant awards of all were the warm feelings AITs went back with that day knowing that we had made the day a little happier for many children who were in need of companionship.

At the meeting at Suzanne Slick's home in early October, our group treated itself to a delightful demonstration sponsored by the Home Craft Division of Better Homes and Gardens. The demonstrator brought a large array of kits and items for display and purchase that members could creatively assemble. Proceeds from this activity, as well as others to be held during the year, supply us with the backing needed for additional social service work.

Sharon Bolduc hosted the business meeting in her new home in November as we planned for Founder's Day and the December Christmas Treat Exchange.

Youngstown Supports Toys for Love Youngstown's Founders Day dinner was shared with collegiates from Edinboro College, Alpha Tau chapte r. Sally Kocak was the speaker sharing thoughts on "Women's Roles in Today's Society."
