Editor's Comments

By Rochelle A. Hargis National Editor Many thanks to Terry Dudley , former Editor , who completed the Fall issue of the Anchor. Terry is currently serving as Director of Alumnae and my appointment as National Editor is effective with this issue . Thanks again , Terry .

As Greeks we highly value "sisterhood" with all the emotional feelings associated with the term . Being a member of a Greek letter sorority offers camaraderie in school and in the years beyond . You'll find friends who will stand by you and laugh , offer help and lift your spirits when you are low . But, there's another sisterhood .

It's the one that goes beyond the boundaries of any one sorority and its members-reaching out to discover new friends . It's one thing to talk about the meaning of sisterhood in the larger

2

context and another to offer concrete examples . But then I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't have a viable illustration to share with you .

Ruth Ann Goodman was recently appointed by National President Sybil King to serve as Chapter Advisor to Alpha Epsilon at Western Illinois University. Ruth An n is a member of Alpha Xi Delta and has been given approval from her sorority to serve AET in this capacity . Of course she won 't be able to participate in any ceremonies such as pledge and initiation .

I think this is a wonderful testament- to Alpha Xi Delta and to Alpha Sigma Tau for the courage to venture down a different path and to Ruth Ann for going beyond the word "sisterhood" and applying the concept we all strive for.

The Greek system and the ational Panhellenic Conference seek to foster good relationships . This is a step in that direction : one-on-one contact. In the long run we all benefit.

eRections Of A Nationa Pres路 e t

By Sybil King (Mrs. Thomas J., Jr.)

Many things in the course of life are , at the time they take place , big issues , large problems, or great endeavors . Once achieved or resolved they soon become dim or forgotten when supplanted by present situations.

There are other events in lie that remain vivid in recollection throughout life . So it is with me in the image of the day and the words of a letter that began the chain of events that have made this reflection possible .

Four score and a hundred years ago , as it seems on a hectic day , or yesterday , when the day goes well , the postman delivered a letter to me . Little did I realize , even when the content of the letter was absorbed , and even later when the votes were cast to commence the experiences that lay ahead . At the moment of reading the letter my vivid recollection is "My sorority is asking me to be a nominee for the office of president of Alpha Sigma Tau!" The honor and excitement of the request were thrilling . My emotions then proceeded to be subdued by the realization and co mprehension of the responsibility engendered in the request of honor.

The course of events that has transpired , upo n reflection , has transformed the daily routine in every aspect of my life . The opportunities and challenges of undreamed situations have presented a multitude of experiences .

Family support Many facets of daily matters have become altered by numerous letters that required special attention or the once routine ring of the telephone that now could present an emergency situation . To regress somewhat , there is one thread of strength that has influenced the fabric of ASTin my life . . . my husband . As any one involved in volunteer activities will confirm , the support of spouse and family is very important for one to be actively involved in volunteer ventures . His encouragement fo r me to be involved has remained constant since college days . Our fiv e children shared my time . Occasionally there were ripples of contention over the use of the telephone . During my term as National President o ur five children and their parents survived their teenage years , have participated in a multitude of activities for each of their ind ividual interests, and co mpleted their college days. Th ere have bee n the marriages of fo ur daughters 4

while our son clings to bachelorhoo d , fam ily illnesses an d many other activities that happen in one's life . Our youngest in her maturing wisdom stated a couple of years ago , "Mother , there is one thing , I am proud of you . Yo u have not been bored nor lacked something to occupy your time like many mothers ." I am fortunate and exceedingly grateful to my entire family to include h usband , child ren , parents , and siblings and their spo uses fo r standing by and sharing these years with me .

The other area that has left a dee p and lasting impression on me is the support , loyalty and dedication of my AST sisters. There have been so many who have given so much that there is no way to delineate the magnanimous support it has been my privilege to receive . Each sister, be she a builder , predecessor , contemporary , peer, fellow officer or an alumna or a collegiate has willingly walked by my side to perpetuate the growth of Alpha Sigma Tau and to uphold its Ideals and Standards as perceived and developed by our Founders .

I have been blessed by family , sisters , and friends in the manner the quotation states , "Don't walk in front of me . . . I may not follow . Don't walk behind me . . . I may not lead . Walk beside me . . . and just be my friend ."

THE AN HO R

Changes proposed My first major endeavor proposed at the 1974 convention and approved was the reorganization of the national structure of Alpha Sigma Tau . The objective of this change was to have on the National Council representation for each major area of sorority activity . The purpose was to better the needs of a growing organization and to strengthen the process of accomplishing goals . The goals were to improve communications, support , guidance , and efficiency from the National Council and the Staff to individuals and chapters (alumnae and collegiate). The results have been effective and beneficial in sundry ways. Especially productive has been direct contact and guidance from collegiate officers with her National Staff co unterpart .

As a result of the reorganization , the constitutions were revised . A National Handbook was written to incl ude duties of all National Staff and Assistants to the National Staff, as well as the Policies and the Procedures of the sorority. Other handbooks were written and/ or revised during or immediately following the reorganization , such as a complete revision of the National Pledge Manual, the Pledge Chair Handbook , and the Nation al S ong Bo ok . An Advisers and Consultants Handbook was composed . The guidelines and proced ural methods of operation were delineated in an organizational chart depicting areas of responsibility and communication thro ugho ut the organization through appropriate cha nnels.

For the 1974 convention special emphasis was implemen ted for the observance of the 75th Anniversary of Alpha Sigm a Tau . A very special focal point was the recognition of sisters to be known as the "Builders ." These special sisters are credited for their support and contributions mad e primarily from between 1934 and 1974 when a strong National structure was developed . The Fo un ders e nvisioned o ur sorority would be a National

organ ization and formulated action toward this goal.

However , the development and growth concept for Alpha Sigma Tau to become a competitive national organization with other national sororities did not materialize appreciably until AST became a member of the Association of Education Sororities in 1926 . AES mem bers were primarily located on state teacher college campuses until 1949. At this time , AES members petitioned and in 1951 became members of the National Panhellenic Conference . With the advent of NPC and AES social sororities joined and cooperating as members of NPC there were guidelines whereby new collegiate chapters of both could be organized in an orderly man ner at all accredited institutions of higher learning either THE ANCHOR

state or private . It was , therefore , the most important phase of development for AST that was activated by the Builders . These women developed plans , programs, policies and other actions that developed the strength and firm foundation of AST .

The basic strength of the sorority had been laid . The reorganization , referred to previously , was to enhance and ensure immediate and long range strength and development of Alpha Sigma Tau . The actions , programs and areas of development needed became the primary objectives to achieve to assure AST would be an equal competitor in collegiate expansion and establish chapter strength , perpetuations of the treasured AST unique qualities and to improve the development of the strong AST belief that by virtue of membership each individual member would have the opportunity to develop inherent personal qualities , talent and ability .

Other issues addressed Following the implementation of the structural changes in the National Council and delegation of duties and responsibilities related to the charge , other issues were addressed. Attention was given to many different areas and facets of sorority related endeavors . These projects were planned and enacted during the ensuing years . They covered aims that encompassed various aspects and aspirations for the organization . Whether the goals affected the membership directly or indirectly all were for the welfare and enduring strength of Alpha Sigma Tau . The following is a summary of these objectives: Alumnae . Since involvement , participation , contributions , and support are a vital factor for the strength of a sorority from this area there has been major emphasis related to alumnae . Goals or endeavors in the alumnae area have been establishing new alumnae chapters on an annual basis ; established chapters increasing enrollment and participation in area alumnae ; sending each alumnae member an Information Form to complete and return identifying on the form the areas where she would give support at local level , with collegiate chapter, in Staff positions or otherwise ; greater involvement and support by local alumnae to collegiate chapters ; participation and training at regional meetings ; creation of Collegiate-Alumnae Liaison Officer in collegiate and alumnae chapter to coordinate activities and needs between the two groups ; presentation and approval of a ceremony for induction of collegians into the alumnae organization ; emphasis during collegiate pledge training and collegiate information stressing membership is a lifetime commitment; establishment of Alumnae Advisory Boards for each collegiate chapter; creation of Area Alumnae Representative positions to assist the Director of Alumnae in the expansion field ; representation of alumnae chapter and individuals with the Alumnae Panhellenic in their community .

Collegians are the lifeblood of the organization ; therefore , their training , commitment and appreciation of the value of the AST experience are the future of the sorority . To enrich and strengthen the education for an enjoy5

able and beneficial college experience and lifelong membership loyalty projects to benefit them have included visitations by National Staff including the National President on a regular basis ; appointment of interested , dedicated , informed Chapter Advisers , Assistant Chapter Advisers and Chapter Consultants to advise and guide chapters on a routine basis ; support of District Presidents through regularly scheduled visits , correspondence and emergency contact ; direct channels of communication with National Chairs for support to the chapters in all program areas of the organization ; attendance requirements for chapter members at Regional Leadership Workshops ; encouraged attendance at Regional Greek Conferences; proposed and approved change in collegiate officer who hold positions on the Collegiate Chapter Executive Committee .

National endeavors enacted for improvement of operation and other long range benefits planned for Alpha Sigma Tau : • writing of HISTORY OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU covering first seventy-five years , completed 1976 • formulating a system of rotation of National Officers and Staff, implemented 1974 • appointment of Headquarters Fund Drive Chair to solicit fund support for permanent National Head quarters • recommendation from Headquarters Site Committee for area of location for permanent headquarters • preparation of procedural handbook for National Treasurer • presentation of insurance coverage needs and implementation of coverage by firm that best met the needs of the organization 6

• study of appropriate investment of sorority set-aside funds with management by strong national investment brokerage firm • change of former State Days and Regional Days to Regional Leadership Workshop with team of informed workshop leaders presenting workshops most needed by members for that year • planning special leadership and financial needs AST would have during years the organization would serve on NPC Executive Committee that would be more extensive than normal requirements • designated representatives for Greek organizations related to sorority matters and attendance at meetings as required • presentation of National Flag in 1982 and made for national and regional meetings • consolidation , revision and addition of report forms required for information necessary to National Staff and Headquarters • secured professional advisers to be contacted as necessary for legal , financial , or other business advice requirements • satisfied audit by IRS of organization • established Finance Committee to advise and guide National Council in financial matters • formed a National Foundation which is established and functioning • implemented revised system of inventory and record keeping procedures for headquarters • created THE CREST , a new format for Newsletter publication for alumnae .

When reflecting on progress and programs implemented there is great satisfaction in knowing how many sisters have willingly given of themselves in innumerable ways to contribute to the progress of our sorority . It is a sincere hope that they know how very much their support , contributions and dedication have meant to the growth of Alpha Sigma Tau . The future of our sorority is bright and assured because there are willing hands to guide our course . Progress will continue as sisters believe and understand each of us are better because we each gave our best. The secret is belief in the value of the Alpha Sigma Tau purpose , ideals , and standards for the personal development and enrichment of every sister .

Through dreams and efforts we shall have great accom plishments to become realities that will continue to b passed from sister to sister as they have pas ed from th Builders and Founders .

By Carrie Staehle

President Emerita

Because I attended the first National Convention of Alpha Sigma Tau in 1925 and have known and worked with all the National Presidents , I feel somewhat capable of assessing Sybil's years of presi dency .

The first compliment Sybil had was from her immediate predecessor , Elizabeth Wilson . Elizabeth told the Board in 1972 that she no longer had time to teach, oversee the Central Office , and be National President . She said that she felt Sybil would be very capable because of the conscientious work she had done as National Alumnae Secretary .

Elizabeth was right! For 12 years Sybil has held high the torch that was handed to her at the 1972 convention. At her first Board meeting Sybil suggested a reorganization of the Board , creating a "chain of command" whereby the officers were responsible for the work of respective chairs . It was a splendid plan and was adopted unanimously by the 1974 convention.

The reorganization of the work of alumnae representatives added many more workers to the National Staff and greater efficiency to the collegiate chapters .

A challenge to Alpha Sigma Tau in the 1970's was to be ready to assume the chair of the National Panhellenic Conference in 1983. Sybil and other of-

ficers did not slight that phase of sorority work , and as a result AST's representative now heads NPC .

At the 20th National Convention in Detroit in 1974 , honoring the first 75 years of AST , our motto was " En Avant" -ever onward.

In her opening address Sybil said "The theme of our convention indicates that although we are celebrating the completion of 75 years of achievement , our thoughts are with the future . That future lies within our hands , minds and hearts.

Unity , love , cheerfulness , friendship , and above all , faith make up the crown Alpha Sigma Tau wears assuring our sorority's 'En Avant' ."

Now looking back over the past years we can say , "Well done , Sybil. You have guided our sorority well. "

My relationship with Sybil began at the Southern District Meeting (now called RLW) in Roanoke , VA . Sybil was presi-

dent of Psi Chapter; I was Southern District President. Throughout the ensuing years we have shared many joys and some tears : the "best of times" and the "worst of times ."

While attending the 1979 National Panhellenic Conference biennial meeting , White Sulphur Springs , W.V., I received a phone call from my sister telling me that our Mother had experienced a stroke as was critically ill. It was Sybil , at 7:45a .m. , who helped me check out of the hotel , saw me to the taxi and gave me strength for the lonely , fearful trip home .

She has hosted many National Coun cil meetings in her home ; but before each , Sybil wrote the officers inquiring what they preferred to eat , who had to have special diets , etc ., for she is always considerate of the needs of others .

Whether working long hours together , taking pleasant walks together , watching sunsets and sunrises together , planning conventions, installing chapters , pressing ceremonial robes , preparing meals , or helping one another through a crisis , be7

ing with Sybil has been a "good time."

By Charlotte Evans Floyd Nineteen hundred forty-eight. It seems like only yesterday at James Madison University that we took the long lonely walk from Wilson Hall , down the quadrangle across the street to Lincoln House into the welcome arms of our prospective sisters of Psi Chapter. Under Sybil's skillful and dedicated guidance and instruction our pledge class came through with flying colors and we became full fledged members of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority .

A great deal has transpired since Sybil was President of Psi Chapter in 1950 . In succession she became Psi Alumnae Representative , National Scholarship Awards Chair, National Alumnae Chair , and since 1972 , our outstanding , efficient and capable National President.

Currently she is our National Panhellenic Conference First Alternate Delegate .

Sybil has given mightily of her time and energy to her job . She obtained the approval from each and every member of her family before accepting the Presidency. Her family , Jerry , Tommy , Susy , Kathy, Jan , and Clare, has encouraged and supported her in guiding the reorganization , enlargement , and progress of Alpha Sigma Tau during the last 12 years. In addition to family and sorority activities she also found time for church and community involvement.

Prominent in my pleasant recollections are our bull sessions in 1966 in Cincin nati , OH ; 1968 in New Orleans , LA ; and 1970 at our first International Con vention in Toronto , Canada. Jerry and family had come in from their campsight to the Royal York Hotel and Meda Ray Sewell , Edith Elliott and I shared our room with the King family . Jerry was the brave one who escorted us after the banquet to the breathtaking view atop one of Toronto's largest buildings . After we returned to the hotel we had to awaken their five children and send them with Jerry back to the campsight. Then we laughed and talked the remainder of the night.

In 1972 at Virginia Beach , VA , we both were elevated to national Council positions -she as President and I as Secretary . I gave up the ghost in 1980-1 stand on the sidelines to welcome Sybil into our class of retirees and we look forward to our fun times without responsibility .

Sybil reflects and exemplifies the finest example of true sisterhood .

By Sharon Richard When I stopped to think how long I have known Mrs. King , I was surprised . I met her at convention in 1972 when she was elected to the position of National President in Virginia Beach . The first time I really worked with her was the first year she was in office . I was in an advisory capacity for a chapter that was having some trouble-a lot of trouble . She came to visit us and gave us support , guidance , and encouragement. Besides seeing the efficient , effective National President side of Mrs . King that weekend, I also saw the friend and sister side of her .

After the last meeting with the girls that weekend (which we all know never end early) Mrs . King , Bob (my husband) and I got in the car for the four-hour trip to St. Louis . Bob and I had a meeting in St. Louis and Mrs. King was going to visit headquarters and meet with past National President , Elizabeth Wilson . We had a most enjoyable trip and an opportunity to get to know one another better.

Mrs . King has truly devoted herself to Alpha Sigma Tau in her position as National President as I am sure she has devoted herself from her pledging and will continue to devote herself.

By Pat Nayle

Let me say that time flies by when you get involved with Alpha Sigma Tau . . . it is difficult to believe that it was about ten years ago when I first met Mrs . King, the National President. Today , I know her as Sybil.

My first meeting with Mrs . King was back in 1974 when she visited Phi Chap-

ter . At the time , I was a college student at Southeastern Louisiana University . I can remember that all of us were excited about the National President coming to visit. We knew when she left that Alpha Sigma Tau was a national sorority because Mrs . King , the National President , had come to the small college town of Hammond to visit the only collegiate chapter in the state of Louisiana . The National President may remember her exciting trip from the New Orleans airport in that light blue Volkswagon that belonged to Edith Evans , a fellow Phi sister.

From the moment that I attended the 1974 national Convention , I somewhat knew that I wanted to work for Alpha Sigma Tau . Who could forget the tribute made to the builders of AST by Mrs .

King , who certainly now is considered a builder as well .

If you have never heard Sybil King give a speech at a convention , installation , a Regional Leadership Workshop , you are missing something wonderful.

This woman has a special talent of taking simple , yet appropriate words and adding flare to them . You listen with your ears and your heart and think about every word she says . . . always , words of wisdom.

Since Sybil has been the National President , I have had the opportunity , pleasure and honor to work with her on the National Staff for six years and on the Council for over one year . When I was a collegian , I never would have thought that ten years later , I would be doing what I am for Alpha Sigma Tau and working along side a very special woman .

I don't believe that the National President ever sleeps ; I have seen her still up when I have retired and on awakening ,

THE ANCHOR

she has already been awake for hours . I can remember the one night when we were in San Antonio for the installation of Beta Theta chapter. We spent almost all night at the airport waiting for Bobbie Nichols , then Director of Expansion , to fly into the city . It was a long , yet enjoyable evening .

Sybil is one of the most unique and organized women that I have had the pleasure of knowing as a sister of Alpha Sigma Tau . Unique in that she gives yo u an opportunity to deve lop the talents you have and know about , and sometimes , helps you find new talents that you didn 't know about. She is open minded to new ideas to improve AST .

This woman is organ ized . When I became a District President , I attended a training workshop in her ho me in Birmingham . Sybil was helping with the workshop but also working on some of her responsibilities as Nationai President.

On Saturday afternoon , Gail Scott , then Director of Co llegiate Chapters , was conducting the training for Ginny Becker , then Eta District President , and me.

Sybil would work for an ho ur or so , then excuse herself and go upstairs to her kitchen ; she wo uld be there maybe 20 or 30 minutes , then return to the basement where we were working . Two hours would pass and she would excuse herself again for 15-20 minutes . When she returned this time , she anno unced that dinner was read y for the visitors present .

On entering the dining room , we found a delicio us feast. I was amazed that anyone could organize such an arra y of food in a short period of time .

When I first met Sybil , I looked up to her as tho ugh she were on a pedestal, and not because I am o nly 4'11" tall . It was because she is our National Presi dent , so meone we sho uld respect. To-

day, as I work beside her on the National Council , I still see her on a pedestal. She gives 110 % to Alpha Sigma Tau . If I am troubled , unsure , or delighted about an expansion or other sorority situation, I kn ow I can call Sybil. She is always there to listen . She gives praise when I do a good job, strength when I feel as though the world is coming to an end , and tells me in a caring , tactful way of other alternatives to consider if I have made a mistake in a decision .

Sybil , one of a kind with others who admire her and see her as a special friend .

I've known Sybil King on a personal basis now for abo ut fi ve years. During that time , I have come to love and respect her a great deal. In the years to co me I will look back on my relationship with S ybil as someone who I admire and as someone who influenced my life in a positi ve manner.

Her belief and faith in me means a great deal. I have seen the tremendous amount of warmth and love she has to give . . . to her family and to her sorority . I see the care and concern for eac h AST sister, p ast and present and for the best interests and future of AST . The contributio ns she has made during her 12 years as National Preside nt have bee n importan t to o ur growth . Th e bo undless energy and drive with which she attacks the job are amazi ng! She has been a gift and a blessing to the life of AST , and to each of our lives .

By Cynthia Peckhart McCrory I tried to think back to the time I first met Sybil King , and it was difficult because it seems like she has always been in my life - a sister , a friend and a good listener. This is my tribute to Sybil King .

has man y ti mes missed the 'lighter' side of sorori ty . I ha ve nickn amed her " Hot Lips" after " Hot Lips" Hullah an on M.A. S .H. I recall an episode where Hot Lips felt a little left o ut of things on the lighter side with her nursing staff beca use she always had responsibilities to tend to and a leadership role to fill. It always gets a laugh out of her!

Sybil is a precious sister and a precious friend .

By Lois O'Dell

As National President, Sybil King has devoted countless hours to the myriad of details a conscientious officer must con cern herself with , traveled tho usands of often unco mfortable miles , and been separated from her fam ily for weeks at a ti me . This tremendo us devotion and sacrifi ce , as anyo ne who comes to know her quickly learns , springs fro m her overwhelming love for Alpha Sigma Tau .

This love compels her concern for, and devotion to , the life of the sorority.

There are really no words sufficient to recognize S ybil's love and dedication ; and no gift , however costl y, could possibly repay her years of effort and sacrifice . And so , we can only say with love and deep appreciatio n, "Than ks, Sybil , fo r a job well done ."

----路

By Gail Schockley Scott Oddly enough the first of the King fa mily with whom I met was not S ybil King , but rat her her eldest and only son Tommy. Tomm y King was Donna Sue Richardson's date for our annual Alpha Sigma Tau Sweetheart dance .

Soon after the Chapter President in formed the membership that Mrs. King wo uld be making a chapter visit and eac h of us wo uld be required to meet with her and escort her to meals, etc .

The reason I signed up for an early breakfast appointment escapes me now, but I vividly recall sitting in the dining hall with her and chatting quite serio usly abo ut my office as President of Panhellenic . Even now I can recapture the ease of which she spoke and graciousness of her mannerisms . Sybil then, as she does now, exemplifies so man y of our AST values and beliefs that it was not difficult to know and love her.

As a collegian I was amazed at her skill and knowledge of our sorority. Then

when I first asked to be a District Presi dent how could one refuse knowing that you would be working with Sybil. To say she has influenced me would be an un derstatement. Sybil has taught me most of what I know about AST and I continue to learn from her all the time . Even under the most extreme , crucial decisions that I have seen her encounter , her tedious and exacting ladylike qualities remain. No problem , disappointment , thrilling event , or devastating personal crisis has ever swayed her loyalty or devotion to Alpha Sigma Tau . I am quite convinced that without Sybil and her love for our sorority AST would not exist as we know it today.

Sybil and I have shared many long breakfasts together since our first meeting years ago . Much has taken place between that time and now and I am thankful that our love for each other and family has never tarnished-only en riched .

Perhaps one of the most humorous adventures was being stranded outside in a snowstorm at Buffalo State during an RLW . Neither of us had on winter coats (It was April!) so we huddled together arm in arm waiting for our ride , at 12:00 p.m . The only thing I could envision was what was Jerry King going to do to both of us if Sybil got pneumonia once again while traversing the countryside for AST! The King family is special and unique .

The special bonds between each family member is one I will long remember and am fond to have known . Sybil would agree that a tribute is not complete without a word or two on Jerry . There is a special joy to see a man so in love with his wife and our sorority. I never feel their trips are complete unless I receive a postcard from Jerry giving detailed explanations of the scenery , which are always concluded by- "the boss will fill you in later on the AST side excursions. " A tribute to Sybil is difficult because one person has never done so much for our sorority . But a tribute to Sybil would be complete if all of us will remember to strive and work earnestly to enrich young lives and to perpetuate the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau throughout our own lives .

I first met Sybil King at the 1974 National Convention in Detroit. I was a Chapter Advis er for a dying four member Alpha Rho . Two collegians , three alumnae and I took a bus to De10

troit. For many reasons it was a difficult trip . I remember how Mrs . King made me feel that she'd known me forever and that there was still hope for Alpha Rho .

She herself planned to visit Youngstown to help with a "last rush. " We had some good times on that trip: making rush fa vors in the motel ; having a guitar sing along (I think Sybil mostly listened!); having a reunion with Alpha Pi CA , Joanne Genova (Sujansky) and members who came to help . I remember being most honored that Sybil came to my parents' and my home for lunch . It was on this trip , too , that we had some "mother-daughter" talks about my moving out into an apartment of my own . So typical of Sybil , never too busy to take time out for a friend , she followed our talks up with a personal letter (one of those rare handwritten-no carbons variety!)

Well , I did move out that Fall of '74 , Alpha Rho faded into history in June of 75 and I became "just" an alumnae member of our local chapter until 1977 when Susan McCarley , AST's Traveling Expansion Coordinator , came to town to try to reactivate Alpha Rho . Again , no success for Alpha Rho but working with Susan helped reacquaint me with AST and , of course, Sybil. I was drafted to work with another four -member chapter in the area and I planned to attend the 1978 convention. I remember being so excited about meeting Sybil again. When we'd met in 74 I was very overweight.

But by Natural Bridge , I'd lost almost 100 pounds and couldn't wait to show off . When we arrived the Council had just gone to dinner. They asked that we stop down while they were on break . I remember being awed : the National Council wanted to see us . These women were names on letters and pictures in the history of AST , but I did want to see Sybil and meet a few members that I'd gotten to "know" via letters and telephone . The DP that I'd driven with and I walked over to the Council's table. My heart pounded . Sybil hugged Joni and looked past me searching for Mary Ellen who was to be with Joni . I'll never forget the look on her face and the crushing hug when she heard my voice come from my new body with, "Hey , what about me?"

Her pride in my personal accomplishments and those achieved with the chapter I was helping made me feel so special. I was honored to be asked to serve on the National Staff as Chaplain and a short year later to serve on the Council.

My first summer on Council , Sybil and I spent hours working side-by-side on the new pledge manual and national handbook . By the second summer I felt like a member of the family . It's easy to "fall in

love" with Jerry King . He is so warm and so supportive of AST , Sybil , and all of us .

In looking back over the ten years I've known Sybil, I want to thank her for the countless hours and endless devotion she has for Alpha Sigma Tau and for sharing herself and her family with so many : but , mostly for what effect she has had on me as an AST , as a Council member and as an individual.

路--By Mary Louise Doyle When Sybil King was suggested as a candidate for the presidency she was both flattered and delighted . Within seconds , however , she became quite hum ble and fearful she would not be able to carry out the duties of the office , if elected , and also do justice to her family of five growing children and Jerry , her husband. She was elected and has served the sorority faithfully and well for 12 years!

Sybil "grew" rapidl y in her job . She did so because she did not pretend to know all the answers . Nor was she too proud or independent to ask questionsmillions of them - of anyone who could be of assistance to her .

I would like to turn the spotlight momentarily on her family . 'Tis said that behind every successful man you will find a woman . Well , the reverse is true in this case . Many of us are of the opin ion that Sybil's success is due , in large part , to the fact that the entire family seemed to make Sybil's goal - of being as good a president as she possibly could be-their goal , too . To this end they all gave her moral and physical help . Two of her daughters even became Alpha Sigma Taus!

Sybil could never have given so much time and effort to sorority matters and the necessary travelling had the family not assumed more and more responsibilities . Loyalty , devotion to cause and good intentions do not guarantee success in office. They are necessary ingredients , to be sure , but there is also the matter of time , physical stamina and encouragement .

As I think back over the 5 years I have been an Alpha Sigma Tau I realize that most of the women who held high offices at the national level and who left their marks on the history of our beloved sorority were women whose families were willing to sacrifice ; they gave not only blessings but actual , physical a i lance . The orority is indebted to uch families!

Cynthia McCrory Alpha Sigma Tau Delegate and Chair National Panhellenic Conference 1983-1985

By Colleen Richter, Linda Pulver and Rosie Gilpin As a student at Ball State University , Cynthia Peckhart McCrory served as the College Panhellenic Delegate from the Alpha Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Cynthia is again representing AST , but this time as the Chair of the National Panhellenic Conference.

Cynthia has always been an active and involved member of her sorority . She served on man y committees as a collegian . Following graduation , Cynthia organized an AST alumnae group in Dayton and Cincinnati and another on e in

the Fort Wayne area . In the Fort Wayne Club , she was a terrific officer for many years and represented Alpha Tau on the Fort Wayne Women's Alumnae Panhellenic . Again her leadership abilities shone and she became president of that o rganization in 196 7-77 .

In the meantime AST recruited Cyn thia for various positions on the National level-one of these being our Alternate Delegate to the National Panhellenic Conference . H er leadership abilities were again recognized as she was elected NPC Treas urer , Secretary and now C hair .

THE ANCHOR

Cynthia has maintained a very busy and fulfilling schedule in her perso nal life . After graduatio n from college , Cynthia married Richard McCrory and moved to Cincinnati , where she began her career in e le mentary education .

Their son , Greg , was born in the sum me r of 1964 and now atte nds Phoe nix Institute of Technology. Cynthia then co mbined the three very important roles of wife , mother and teacher.

The McCrory's moved to Fo rt Wayne in 1967 and Cynthia co ntinued her busy schedule of caring for Dick and Greg , plus maintaining a full time teaching position . This year for the first time in 19

What is the National Panhellenic Conference?

National Panhellenic Conference is one of the largest volunteer organizations in the United States today . Its membership now numbers over two million Greek women .

After 81 years , the mutual respect, leadership and voluntary commitment of the 26 member groups still make NPC the unique organization it is today.

The Unanimous Agreements are un paralleled and state the values by which we live .

The Conference is made up of women who make things happen .

Each time I travel throughout the country to the college campus and the community, I marvel at all the voluntary work these fraternity wome n do to ma ke things happen .

years , Cynthia is away from the classroom as she is o n a sabbatical to better fulfill her duties as NPC chair. She is active in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art , Sigma Delta Pi national teacher's sorority and the Fort Wayne Ed ucator's Associatio n and has served on that group's in sura nce committee .

In everything Cyn th ia does , she goes that extra step -whether it is her involvement in sorority, working with a second grader ha vi ng trouble in school or in helping a friend thro ugh a difficult time. She is defin itely an asset to Alp ha S igma Tau!

What are your goals as NPC Chair?

I see the next two years as those of extending NPC's involvement with the professional student personnel organizations , the Association of Fraternities Advisors and the National Association of Student Personnel and Administrators, who work closely with our young women on a daily basis. I will also strengthen our commu nications and relationships with the national organization of men's fraternities , National Interfraternity Conference , and with the National PanheiIenic Council. Inc . And I will continue to attempt positive communications with the media's opinions of women's fraternities.

Being Greek is a great way to be.

Always remember to tell others .

NPC focuses on cooperation AST's Cynthia McCrory heads organization

By Ginger Banks International President Alpha Omicron Pi "For the past two years , I have had continued opportunity to examine the essence of this Conference and I am struck by the amazing correlation between what I consider to be one of the most phenomenal organizations that exists, which is the National Panhellenic Conference , and the qualities of excellent corporate operations within the United States ."

With that observation and endorsement, National Panhellenic Conference Chair Mary Barbee , Sigma Sigma Sigma , set the tone for the 48th Session of NPC. The gathering of representatives fro m the 26 mem ber groups was held at the Registry Resort in Scottsdale , AZ from Nov . 2-5, 1983.

Characterizing NPC as an organization shaped by values and commitment to them , Barbee stated that descriptions of excellent corporations can also be applied to NPC .

"We are willing to state what we stand for on paper ," Barbee said, "and our Unanimo us Agreements are unparalleled in organizations .

"We represent two million women and may be the largest volunteer organization in this country ," Barbee stated .

"There are many ways of looking at our cohesive power and strength . " . . . We have important challenges to face ," Barbee said , "but we should remember that NPC makes things happen ."

An appreciation for past accomplishments, a belief in the potential of NPC and an eye toward the future relation ship of NPC with other groups were cur12

rents that seemed to charge the enthusiasm of all in attendance at the biennial meeting .

Perhaps the work of three ad hoc committees and the Conference's response to them most clearly demon strated the main focuses of the NPC meeting .

The Ad Hoc Committee on Central Services , chaired by Minnie Mae Prescott , Kappa Delta , recommended the establishment of an office for the Conference "for central and accessible storage of records , and a permanent address for banking, IRS , and other legal purposes ."

Recognizing that NPC materials and records have been stored in homes or in offices of member groups , the committee stated that such an NPC office was needed not only to enhance efficiency , but to "promote our credibility . . . in the eyes of our membership , the Greek and academic worlds and the media ."

The Conference adopted the central office establishment resolution , with the provision that it be ratified by member groups .

The Conference also adopted a position statement on the relationship between NPC member fraternities and host institutions.

An ad hoc committee chaired by Betty Merman , Sigma Kappa , drafted a proposed statement which was based on the criteria outlined in the Panhellenic Creed . The statement , which emphasizes cooperation and common interests between universities and NPC groups , led the Conference to ask that the NPC Executive Committee appoint a commit-

tee to explore the possibilities of entering into similar joint statements with other interfraternal groups .

Before the relationship statement was adopted , the Conference observed a spirited panel discussion which focused on such formal statements and a key question implicit in them : "whose chapter is it , anyway?"

Panelist Shelley Sutherland , President of the Association of Fraternity Advisors , suggested that NPC "needs to tell universities what you expect. The chapter belongs to you . But the students belong to the university . We all have to work together to understand each other's points of view ."

The Dean of Student Affairs at the University of California-Fresno , William Corcoran , echoed Sutherland's admonition . " In 99 .9 percent of the situations where there are difficulties between the chapter and the university , the problems arise out of differing expectations. A statement of your relationship would help dispel conflicts ."

Jonathan Brant, Executive Director of the National Interfraternity Conference , and Wayne Colvin , Director of Greek Life at Bowling Green State University , supported views expressed by Sutherland and Corcoran .

But Jim Greer , Executive Director of Zeta Beta Tau , disagreed that a formal statement was necessary .

"The law is the basis of our relationship and we should rely on that ," Greer said .

On another issue of concern to m m-

TH E N H R

ber groups, the Conference adopted a resolution about alcohol.

Stating that two out of every three women treated for alcohol abuse are un der the age of 35 and that 88% of all college students drink , Ad Hoc Alcohol Committee Chair Patricia Dani elson Delta Gamma , recommended the adop~ tion of the resolution.

It recommends that each NPC mem ber group "include programming that discourages the abuse of alcohol and promotes the individual choice of moderate and responsible use or abstinence."

Among other business actions , the Conference : • Amended the NPC Bylaws to state that NPC groups " . . . must have as a pledge no woman who has broken her pledge with , or had her pledge broken by another NPC fra ternity on the same campus until after the expiration of one calendar year from the date she was originally pledged ."

• Amended the NPC Compact to say "No woman student shall be asked to join a fraternity during any school recess except during a formal rush period and the ensuing continuous open bidding held immediately prior to an academic term ."

• Reaffirmed its position reco mmending early fall formal rush periods. A resolution to this effect was adopted on the recommendation of the Scholarship and Early Fall Formal Rush Committee , chaired

by Mary Burt Nash of Alpha Xi Delta, which determined that early rush can enhance the scholarship of pledges .

• Adopted a procedure , which will be incorporated into the NPC Bylaws , to be used when an NPC member gro up may have violated

the Unanimous Agreements and / or acted contrary to panhellenic ethics .

• Reaffirmed the 1972 NPC resolution that member groups look with disfavor on auxiliary groups to men 's fraternities because those activities are in conflict with NPC policies .

At the Alumnae Luncheon , hosted by the Phoenix Alumnae Panhellenic , awards were received by the following alumnae panhe llenics : Akron , Atlanta , Bloomington -Normal , Carrolton , Charlotte , Chicago Northwest Suburban , Clear Lake , Clearwater , Denver , East Bay , Escondido , Farmers Branch, Findlay , Fort Wayne , Ho uston , Indianapolis , Lubbock , Northern Virginia , Phoenix , Portland , Ri verside , Sacramento , Schenectady , St. Louis , Toronto , Tulsa , Twin Cities , Washington , D.C. , and Wilmington.

Climaxing the 48th Session of the National Panhellenic Conference was the Awards Banquet Nov . 5 , hosted by Alpha Sigma Tau .

During the banquet , awards were pre sented to outstanding college panhellen ics by their advisors . The awards and their recipients were:

Fraternity Month Award for the most outstanding public relations program : 1st-University of Kentu cky ; 2nd University of Arizona ; and 3rd - James Madison University .

Awards Committee Trophy for the college panhellenic with a membership of six or less NPC groups which best recognizes true panhellenic spirit : 1stUniversity of Louisville , 2nd - University of Puget Sound ; and 3rd - University of California-Riverside.

NPC Award for the college panhellen ic with a membership of seven or more NPC groups which best recognizes true panhellenic spirit : 1st - University of Oklahoma ; 2nd-University of Illinois ; and 3rd - California State UniversityFullerton .

The conference closed with the new NPC Executive Committee assuming office . Members are: Chair , Cynthia McCrory, Alpha Sigma Tau ; Secretary , Sidney Allen , Alpha Sigma Alpha ; and Treasurer , Beth Saul , Alp ha Epsilon Phi. In accepting the gavel , Cynthia McCrory stated, "We have proven that we can meet the challenges facing the Conference . NPC will continue to be a viable organization that will meet the needs of all member groups ."

THE ANCHOR

pha Sigma Tau accepts full responsibility of adhering to the regulatio ns of this Confere nce ." This statement by o ur beloved Carrie Staehle has been perpetuated by the delegates and alternates who hav e se rv ed this Conference . Ferne Phipps, a current Alpha Sigma Tau Alternate Delegate , was present at the 194 7 Session and exemplifi es this perpetuatio n .

The me mbership of Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae and collegians have been ed ucated and kept informed of the regulations of this Conference; the advantages for all NPC me mbers gained thro ugh cooperation ; and th e strength and e nhance ment of the Co nfere nce through fa ir play and sincere concern for the welfare of all thro ugh unity .

We know each of the fraternal organi zations of NPC has, by their membership in and support of the National Pan hellenic Confere nce , signified their belief in the value of the Co nference .

Alpha Sigma Tau believes in the value of NPC ; the Unanimo us Agreements; the cooperation among me mbe r groups at the collegiate level in College Panhel-

lenic; fair extension procedures : the alumnae to encompass organized alumnae chapters or individual alumnae involvement ; and in all the working areas of NPC .

To commemorate this belief and to signify the continuance of Alpha Sigma Tau 's support of the National Panhellen ic Conference , Alpha Sigma Tau would like to make a presentation to the Co nference . The gift is given with all the symbolism of the belief embodied in each of o ur fraternal organizations en compassed in the collective membership in NPC. The leadership of any organizatio n represents the entire organization . It is the wish of Alpha Sigma Tau that when a member group heads the Confere nce that the Chair shall be given this gift to be worn during the fraternity's term of office as NPC Chair. The gift is designed to be representative of all women of NPC and the high standards of wo manhood portrayed by them .

It is my distinct honor , on behalf of the members of Alp ha Sigma Tau , to present this necklace to the Confe rence .

We all thought it would be impossible to overcome a Fall rush with only 25 returning active members . But , when things got tough , Phi Chapter got tougher. New leadership formed a bond among the sisters that no obstacle could weaken. We really pulled together as a team . We made it through one of the toughest rushes ever .

The new leadership of Michelle Gremillion , Debbie Melancon , Diane Krum , Robin Blanchard , Lynda Gilardi , Tina Warren, Lisa Strickland , Stephanie Billello , and Sherri Boque was at its best.

Guidance through stormy times is what leadership is for and this group works great together. And , our main ingredient for a successful voyage through stormy times was our stronghold in a storm-

our alumnae . The help of a few meant a great deal and made a lot of difference .

The knowledge and experience that could be given by no one but these who have experienced it. Mrs . Sandra Huffstetler, former Chapter Advisor , Doris Thomas , Assistant Chapter Advisor , Robbie Blackburn , Diana Morgan , new Chapter Advisor , Becky Morgan , Mary Morgan , Shelly Wascom, Nancy Gau treaux , new Faculty Advisor , and Pat Nayle through correspondence , helped us along .

Founders Day banquet was as quoted by some of the alumnae who attended Kazanna Elliot , Mitzie Prevot , Becky Morgan , Margaret Deboer , Margaret Loew , Robin Coates , Diana Morgan , as one of the best ever . The entree for the evening was a surprisingly delicious steak and potato served at the Twelve Oaks Cafeteria . The speaker was Shelly Wascom . This semester also brought a new Faculty Advisor , Nancy Gautreaux , and District President Anne Compo , with many fresh ideas to the Chapter.

Diana Morgan , our new Advisor , continually offers herself to us in attendance at every function and even let us throw our slumber party in her home!

Balloon -a-grams were the fund raiser for the semester. Selling them in our studen t union , and delivering them to everyone on campus proved to be a profi table , enjoyable idea . Next semester , fund raising is the theme with a full scale plan for a Mr . SLU Body Building contest with sponsors paying the bills for promotion , prizes , judges, etc . We have the vision of our new House in sight.

The Alumnae Party , built around a Halloween theme , was very nice.

Sisterhood weekend is a new ann ual tradition with Phi Chapter. A few days in the simple surro undings of a camp in the woods provides unity , helps us to remember what AST stands for and why we joined . This weekend together has become the main event of the semester and planned early in the year as a great way to get to know o ur pledges.

We tried to spread our Christmas Cheer this year with the local nursing home we visited with refreshments , conversation , and cheery songs. It also brings the highlight of the semester - the Christmas Formal , complete with favors , Christmas tree , music and decorations .

Theme for Fall rush was "Let AST be the key to your heart" and we added 13 pledges who were initiated in November.

Our first activity was the "Fall Fling" with members obtaining donations from local merchants for a raffle drawing . Proceeds were given to the Meals on Wheels . Members served as hostess for the first Durant Shakespeare Theater benefit. Rho gave a toy for the annual Christmas "Toys for Tots" to less fortu nate children in the area. This Spring we will participate in the fund drive for the March of Dimes .

The Emerald Ball is set for April.

Spring rush theme will be "The Insane Asylum ."

Our sorority was asked to judge the Ms . Little Durant pageant. Homecoming theme last Fall was video game and Alpha Tau's were "Frogger. " This was fol lowed by the annual alumnae party .

Alpha Tau's challenged another sorority on campus to a powderpuff football game and won 42-0 . Pledges of both sororities joined together afterwards for a dance .

The open bid pledges include : Renay Bennett , Ellen Brown , Penny Gough , Teri Midolo , Susan Ragan , Anne Schlegel , and Cheryl Wilson . One highlight for the pledges was a Friendship Candlelight service . The candlelight con sisted of the sisters telling what the sorority means to them . The ceremony brought tears to all involved . Another aspect of sorority life that the pledges participate in is the book nook , a study method devised by Winona Bayne , Vice -President. She collects study hours and test grades for the week from the sisters . The top sister with the best grades receives an award . The method , when first introduced , seemed harsh but the sisters have found that it will benefit the sorority in the future .

Some of o ur activities for the semester included a special honor day for outstanding teachers , Christmas carolling , Sadie Hawkins dance , Secret Santa's be tween the Omicrons, Dr. Atkins as a guest speaker , a retreat at Pipeste m State Park , and best of all-we won first place at Greek Games while having the smallest group on campus.

Homecoming was a special treat . We ran alone , sponsoring Debbie Tickle , and placed third . Our campaign centered around "Tickle Us Pink" and we all wore little pink bow-ties and pink newsboy caps all week . Ginny von Trott was nominated for Best Pledge and Dick Larkin for L'il Abner .

We inducted two new advisors and also a new patroness this se mester. In order , Mrs . Larkin , Miss Kello (assistant) , and Mrs . McMichael. They've all been a great help and inspiration .

Our alumnae have also been very in volved this semester by attending home-

Alpha Epsilon is located in the middle of a corn field called Macomb , and here at Western Illinois we make the Alpha Sigma Tau name great! Jenny Sullivan , Rush chair psyched us up for rush week.

THE ANCHOR

these include the captains of both the JV cheerleading and porn pon squads.

Besides the school life and sorority fun , we , as sisters, were made aware of a very special need . A heart transplant was needed to save the brother of one of our members. The town of Macomb , In terfraternity council, and Panhellenic council were very supportive in helping to raise the money for the heart fund . As a chapter we sponsored a marathon .

Students received pledges and ran for the fund .

AE participated in the annual MS drive and helped the Macomb area veterans take down hundreds of American flags after Memorial Day , for additional philanthropy projects . Once again we went through the painstaking task of in terviewing the most gorgeous men on WIU's campus to put together our Tau " 10" calendar. We would like to an nounce that we have the second place winners of the Sigma Nu snake jam , an air band concert .

Our sisterhood week , held just before finals , was filled with secret sisters . This is where we secretly brighten a chosen sisters day by buying little gifts and can dy. At the end of the week we exchange poems we have composed for our secret sis . Renting a video machine and a couple movies was a great excuse to get together and eat popcorn . Runn ing from one house to the next we serenaded on another night of sisterhood week . The seniors took an Alpha Tau curtain call and finished the week by giving wills and reading bonds which are thoughtful words to individual girls in the house .

With the help of Connie Moore , Scholastics Chair , we now have studdy buddies. We team up to earn a grade point that competes against other teams. The winning team wins a cash pot. Quite an incentive!

Alpha Mu

University of Arkansas The Alpha Mu Chapter started the year off with a bang . First on the list was to help freshman women move their belongings into their resident halls . This helped the sisters of AST not only meet potential rushees , but helped them to work off a few pounds while extending a warm welcome . Second on the list of things to do was to host a Watermelon Feast for the sisters of Alpha Sigma Alpha helping to start the year off with a closer sorority relationship .

September continued to be full of fun and work . Formal rush began with a coke party. The Alpha Mu's took the rushees back in time to the SO's with a skit entitled " Sandy Goes Through Rush. " By the time the Alpha Mu's got the grease out of their hair it was time for the Preference party , held in the chapter room that began with the Tau Cross Ceremony and ended with a formal buffet.

Nine great pledges were picked up though rush ; Sue Boney, Karen Broach , Suzanne Butler , Sherry Ferrell , Danita Kay Haller , Kim Pierce , Shelly Ratterree , Kim Sanson and Janet Williams .

On the eve of the big Homecoming game the chapter room looked like a small factory with all of the wood , wire , tissue , hammers and nails scattered all over. The sun rose the next morning on the AST Homecoming float on which stood an awesome nine foot Boll Weevil , the team mascot. Even though the foot ball game ended in a disappointing de feat , the alumni tea following the game was a winner.

Bobbie Nichols , Eta District President , graced the Alpha Mu's with a much enlighting and fun visit again this year .

The meeting accomplished a lot for the sisters , but all was not work . The Alpha Mu chapter treated her to a luncheon and church services Sunday morning.

Halloween brought out the goolish side of UAM students when AST hosted a costume party . Everything from cowboys/ girls to zombies enjoyed an evening of dancing in the eerie moonlight. It was requested by several UAM students that this become annual event.

November was a busy month for Alpha Mu with Founders Day Celebration and a second pledge class : Lori Marshal , Linda Patterson , and Angela Wade.

Congratulations are extended to Mi chelle Arnn , Alpha Mu member , for bringing home a second place trophy in the campus talent show .

This year's rush theme was "Taus Go to the Circus" in the first round and the rushees attend ed a "Bagel Bash" and candlelighting ceremony held in our chapter room in our suite for the final week of preference parties .

We are also busy building o ur first place prize-winning float for the competition in the Autumn Leaf Parade at Homecoming . We had a super time working with the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity with the theme , "The Wizard of Oz ."

Just after Homecoming our chapter participated in our semi-annaul social service project , the Red Cross Blood Mobile .

The weekend of Founders Day was quite a hectic one , too! That Friday , our pledges completed pledging and had their traditional scavenger hunt and sister celebration. On Saturday night , we had a date party and hayride , and Sunday we celebrated Founders Day with a luncheon buffet and candlelighting service with more than 125 friends , sisters , alumnae , and parents in attendance . We were especially pro ud to have Mary Ellen Willmitch and Mary Sinibaldi attend our celebration .

We celebrated Christmas with our traditional "Secret Santa" week followed by a beautiful Christmas formal when Santa comes and we find out who our secret Santa and new "Tau Tiger" are .

We'd especially like to extend a special congratulations to o ur new President , Kim Alfred .

This Spring we will take part in an informal rush program on our campus , a

Alpha Tau

Edinboro University Alpha Tau's first pledge class brought us : Sondra Harvey , Lisa Fedore , Carol Goldsmith , Sherry Gilbert , Beth Grieshaber , Millie Mitchell ; our second class included Tami Abrams and Tracy Davies . During our rush parties , we would perform either the "Tau ight Show" or the " AST Con nection." In the "Tau Night Sh ow," Carolyn Marks played Johnny Carson and we had several of ou r sisters depict famous people as guests on the show. The " AST Connection" was a take-off of the Rainbow Con nection featuring Lori Sciulli as Kermit the frog . Kermit took a lonely girl , played by Sharon Borkowski , to meet " his" AST friends and to make her want to be a part of the special friendships involved in sorority life .

Since Fall marked our first semester as a university , Homecoming was very special to us . Representing us in the parade and the crowning was our President , Becki White . The theme of the homecoming was , " Have You Read A Good Book Lately?" and the theme of our float , built with the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi , was "Gulliver's Travels ." Our pledges entered a banner contest sponsored by the football cheerleader and won first place with a banner depicting a "Fighting cot" playing hi bagpipe to the tune of "Paint th Town Plaid ." ft r

while enjoying pizza from the PizzaJoynt . Laughter could be heard coming for the AST house while the "Joke Rush" was in progress . The last theme rush for the term was a "Hot Cider and Donut Rush".

Actives and pledges participated in a number of activities to benefit different organizations . Members of the chapter and the other sororities making up Michigan Tech's College Panhellenic Council (CPC) , held a pancake breakfast to provide funds for D-1-A-L Help , the philan thropy of CPC . Later that afternoon , CPC members participated in a car wash to help with costs for the upcoming Formal Rush . Other social service projects completed by the chapter included , a money-collection within the sorority to buy a Thanksgiving dinn er for a needy famil y. Also , the chapter sent an assortment of articles to the Salvation Army .

The chapter enjoyed several "just-forfun " events . For example , the chapter had a lamb roast with the brothers of Phi Kappa Tau . During Homecoming , the chapter became a group of Hobos in accordance with the Homecoming theme .

Also, during Homecoming sisters Paula Stefanelli and Tracy Small were Homecoming queen candidates. As Fall term began to draw to a close , the chapter found itself busy with studying for finals .

However , the Beta Xi's did make time for the Founders Day Ceremony and an all-sorority dinner on November 4 .

Winter term also marked the beginning of formal rush week . School work , rushing and preparing for the "Welcome to the Tau Wau " theme party kept the sisters occupied . However , the time and work put into formal rush paid off in five additional members to the pledge class , bringing the pledge class to a total of 12.

These additions were officially made pledges when they were pinned in December . With the addition of the pledge class the chapter's membership was put at 54 , only one below the total set for MTU. Beta Xi chapter had its rededication ceremony the evening prior to the chapter's third birthday!

A "South of the Border" party was held with the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity . Christmas gifts were given during the chapter's annual holiday party .

The biggest extra curricular activity the chapter participated in is MTU's Winter Carnival. Sisters made a snow statue , presented a skit and other special events for the carnival.

Beta Phi California University This is our first semester as an official chapter , and we are loving it! Thank yo u to all the chapters who sent gifts . The RLW was a tremendous help to us ; Lambda District thank you so much for all the ideas we picked up .

Theme party for rush was the "All State Team ." We dressed up as baseball players. A skit , where the rush committee acted as Charlie Brown characters , was performed ; the sisters were a baseball team , telling how much fun they have together and asked rushees who did not belong to a team to join AST .

We built of Homeco ming float with the Sigma Tau Gamma's . It was a great deal of fun . Dina Migliozzi was ours and Sig Tau's homecoming candidate . Dina was third runner up in the contest.

We celebrated Founders Day with a candlelighting ceremony , immediately following the cere mony each sister said what AST means to her, she then put out the candle of a sister who is special to her.

The pledge director came up with the idea of the pearl system . Each sister was given pearls according to how many pledge sisters there were. The sister then gave each pledge her pearl sometime during the pledge period . This kept the pledges on their toes , because she was always working for her pearls ; and when she had collected them all , it was no secret that she had done a super job.

The Top Tau award went to Marcella Egner , President .

For the remainder of the year the fol lowing activities are planned : a Christmas party , including all the sisters ; and , carolling for the aged people in the area .
