RUSH: The Past, Present, and Future of Alpha Sigma Tau

by Tina Naremore,

Gamma Gamma, THE ANCHOR Alumnae Edi to r

J

t is three days to a wee k of laughter, tears, enthusiasm, exhaustion , anticipation , disappointment , excitement, and dread. It is a fl ood of e m o ti o n th at lea ve s yo u so breathless that you are sure you will burst. It is formal sorority rush , and the only way to understand it is to experience it.

I have ex perienced rush in four different ways, and each time th e rush of emotion has left me proud to be a part of Alpha Sigma Tau. I have also learned that rush is more than once a year. It is every day. It is the past, present, and future of Alpha Sigma Tau. I learned this not as a rushee, active , or officer, but as an alumna this past year. I returned to the rush activities of Gamma Gamma Chapter, not really knowing what to expect. I attended their first meeting of the year and listened to the Rush

Director, Rebecca J ackson , as she explained the week's activities. She was electric and so were the other sisters who had just returned from

helping Beta Zeta Chapter with their rush. Jackson played the tape and imitated the dances she had seen. The chapter sat amazed and silent. I sat in wonder at my chapter. Only six years before we had not existed on the Livingston University campus. Four years ago, we were struggling for existence. Now nearly forty young women encircled me and they were all ready to spread AST to even more women.

Every night , the members met and worked on dance routines and practiced songs. Decorations had to be colored , mounted , and cut out.

T-shirts were ordered and parties were held. Nerves wore thin and exhaustion neared the breaking point , but the members continued , going over and over every step and every speech. Other alumnae visited and they too watched in amazement . It was an incredible feeling to see the chapter you had loved and fought for come together as this one had.

Finally , the last night of rus h came. It was ritual night-time to reveal the serious side of AST. We listened as the members described what AST meant to the m . W e alumnae reflected about the times we had stood in their places. The chapter then asked Tracy Ernst , a past president , to s p eak. T he rushees took notice. From my spot in the circle, I saw the eyes of rushees as they listened and wre Gamma Gamma sister (from left) Li a Bell . Dondra Ledbetter, and hannon Tucker oren 't afraid of the hard work of rush .

THE ANCHOR/ Spring 1993

Rush tied with their decisions about sorority life .

By standing before them , Tracy made a statement that spoke louder than words. She was the past, but here she was in the present , and her words told the rushees that she would be there in the future with these potential sisters. She was simply recalling her initiation vows and acting upon them . A sister's hand took mine and I took the hand of a rushee.

THE ANCHOR/ Spring 1993

The chain was once again com plete , with vows being made and renewed through the voice of one alumna.

Rush is hard work, and for that reason many shrug it off as not important. That night I rediscovered how important rush is. I discovered that everyone p lays a part , and I mean everyone. By not attending or sending notes of encourage ment, alumnae are weakening the foundation for the chapter's future

and undermining the work they did in the past. Sisters unwilling to put forth everything or only showing AST involvement during that time are making a statement that the chapter of the present is not worth adding to. Get into rush : the past, present, and future of AST depends on it.

Gamma Gamma alumnae, sisters and new pledges celebrate a successful rush at Liu路 ingston University 's Squeal Day.

Interfraternity Involvement

1992 National Panhellenic Conference Interitn Session Sutntnary Reported by Patricia Nayle, Phi, Alpha Sigma Tau NPC Delegate, and Sherry S. Tilley, Zeta Tau Alpha

Alpha Sigma Tau 路s delegation to the NPC Interim Meeting in October 1992 included (from left) Mary Charles Ashby, Carolyn Alexande r, Pat Nayle and Cynthia McCrory.

NPC works diligently to be of service to her member groups , our host institutions , and to all with whom we work for the growth and development of wo mankind . The 1992 Interim S e ssi o n theme "PACESETTE RS " demonstrates NPC 's continued commitment to set the pace for Greek women as we approach the 21st century .

Alpha Sigma Tau 's delegates to the 1992 Interim Session , held last Octobe r in Indianapolis , included NPC Delegate Pat Nayle , First Alternate Delegate Carolyn Alexander , Second Alternate De le ga te Cynthia McCrory, and Third Alternate Delegate Mary Charles Ashby.

Following the theme of "PACESETTERS" the Conference was introduced to Glamour Ass oc iate Editor Linda Gordon . Ms . Gordon has worked closely with the development of the Hand -i n -Hand Breast Health Program funded by Glamour and Hanes Hosiery . Last spring , NPC determined it would support this important program to educate women on general breast health . Follow-through plans were prese nted for a five-year project and a plan ned ex pansion o f the

breast health education materials to include general community awareness . Th is noteworthy liaison between Glamour and NPC actively demonstrates the intent of the Conference to "set the pace " for the women of the future .

Contin uing our ro le as "PACESETTERS " , the Conference has created an NPC Display to be available to various conferences and meetings to inform the public of the work of NPC. The National Panhellenic Conference invited a broad cross-section of the university and Greek community to parti c ipat e in FORUM 2000 : VISIONS RENEWED, a program intent on generating thoughts and plans toward preparing for the world of tomorrow . Participants were directed into small groups to generate discussion and specific planning for our movement into the future. Small group discussion was organized by group facilitators , and specific plans of action were discussed and created . This outstanding program brought innovative , thought-provoking , and challenging ideas and provided concrete plans for our transition into tomorrow.

A number of resolutions dealing with a variety of issues were passed by the Conference , including : e The Panh ellenic Creed was amended to delete the word "American ", reflecting our collective mission to represent all fraternity women regardless of location . e Th e development of educational programming for use by college and alumnae panhellenics on rush conversation, understanding relationships , empowerment , women 's health issues, and leadership excellence. e Alumnae Panhellenic Rush In-

formation Forms were revised . e The establishment of an annual meeting of NPC's College and Alumnae Panhellenics Committee in an effort to provide more timely assistance . e The appointment of a study committee to develop possible formats for annual meetings of NPC. (AST's NPC Delegate , Pat Nayle , will serve on this committee.) e The reaffirmation of the right of approval by the college panhellenic as a requirement for the recolonization of a chapter, regardless of the length of time a chapter has been dormant. e The inclusion of a Panhellenic Alumnae Forum at the 1993 Biennial Session whereby alumnae national officers of NP C member groups are invited to attend the forum to share topics of mutual interests and concerns, such as alumnae relations and involvement.

The Rush Resolution Guidelines were approved for distribution to all College Panhellenics on campuses where NPC member groups are established . These guidelines are being offered to help College Panhellenics continue to implement the 1991 Rush Resolution in efforts to refocus the purpose of rush as a process for rushees and members to get to know one another. Full implementation of the Rush Resolutions should occur no later than the 1994-1995 college calendar year.

Plans were developed to begin incorporating the 'dreams' outlined in the FORUM 2000 program , a PC and her member group joined together in our 'Vision Renewed' , and established plan of action to remain the ' PACE ETTERS ' for the future .

Interfraternity Involvement Who Cares?

In a time when Greeks are under fire and scrutinized heavily by the public , National Panhellenic Conference Alumnae Panhellenics continue to make a positive impact on society. T hrough service in local philanthropy projects , providing opportunities for Greek sisterhood, and awarding academic scholarships to college women, Alumnae Panhellenics care about Greek life and care about making a difference in their communities.During the last two years , Alumnae Panhe llenics awarded approximately $500 ,000 in academic scholarships to both Greek and non-Greek women. In addition, they provided service and donated money to many national and local philanthropies.

What is an Alumnae Panhellenic?

It is the alumnae version of a college panhellenic, organized in local communities in which all NP C groups have the opportunity to be represented. In addition to working with a local college panhellenic to strengthen the Gree k system in their area , Alumnae Panhe llenics have four purposes: to inform fraternity women of current trends, to promote the fratern ity system , to improve the Panhellenic image, and to stimulate a continuing interest in Panhellenic affairs.

Find out whether an Al umnae Panhellenic exists in your area by talking to the nearest College Panhellenic Greek Advisor, contacting an Al pha Sigma T au alumnae chapte r , or contacting the NP C Centra l O ff ice (3 9 0 1 West 86th Street, Indianapo lis , IN 46268 , 3 17/ 8 7 2-3 185).

Alpha Sigma Tau Involvement

Alpha Sigma Tau 's advisers are truly its unsung heroines . Work ing with the collegiate chapters every day is both rewarding and challenging for these women .

Every spring, we profile two or three advisers in THE ANCHOR. This year we asked two veteran advisers to share their most memorable experiences as adviser and their words of wisdom for brandnew advisers.

Cindy Herzog has been adviser to Gamma Zeta Chapter for three years. An assistant professor of psychology at Frostburg State University and a licensed psychologist in Maryland , Cindy was drawn to the adviser position because the chapter was known for its leadership on campus and its philanthropy projects . She wanted to be a part of this strong organization.

Cindy's most memorable experience as adviser was attending the 1992 Convention in Tulsa , where she served as one of the mentor group leaders. She was proud of the Gamma Zeta members for winning several awards there; she also enjoyed meeting ASTs from all over the country.

Cindy 's advice to a brand-new chapter adviser is: "Attend the National Convention to get a full picture of what AST is all about , consult with national officers , and familiarize yourself with the history of the sorority , the duties of officers , and the bylaws . Be genuine and honest with the women in your group. Let them get to know you."

Amy DuPree was completing a term as District President when she was asked by delegates from Zeta Chapter at a Convention to be their new chapter adviser . Since Amy was not able to continue as a Dis8

Am y DuPree Zeta Chapter Adviser

trict President and she wanted to stay involved with sorority, her answer was "yes! " Since Am y has been adviser , Zeta Chapter has achieved a goal of having the highest GPA on campus. The chapter has honored Amy at a Parents Day Celebration , and Amy is often the person the chapter calls when something exciting has happened.

Amy attributes her success as an adviser to the fact that she treats the women as she 'd like to be treated . She says she never forgets it's their chapter and the members have to live with their decisions .

She encourages her chapter members as much as possible and always lets them know how proud she is of them .

Professionally, Amy is Vice President of Sales for Susquehanna Trailways and Catawese Coach Company . She has been with the company for 12 years and has established a tour program for these motorcoach companies which provides leisure travel for individuals and groups to destinations in the USA and Canada .

EYE ON ...

Annette Santagata Crawford

Patricia Hauber

Annette Santagata Crawford, Alpha Kappa , is a psychiatric social worker in Lake George , New York.

After dealing with her own issues of childhood sexual abuse , she realized that if she wanted to help other children and women, she would need a recognized professional degree, so she obtained an MSW degree .

After seven years ' experience dealing with abused children and their families in the Albany , New York, area , Annette and her husband moved to a rural county 50 miles north of Albany. Annette says she was appalled by the lack of services there to women and children and by the denial that abuse against children and domestic violence was really a problem "here in Hometown USA. " As a staff social worker in the local county mental health center, Annette began talking about abuse towards children and women to "as many people who would listen. " She shared with he r colleagues her own abuse to show that it can and does happen a nd that there is help and healing . She gave in-service workshops to her colleagues , school personnel , and Department of Social Services personnel. Annette says that they were amazed to learn that three out of every four people who walked into her office were either abused as children , abused children now, or lived in abusive relationships .

Annette started therapy groups for children and their families and co-ran the first "Incest Therapy Group " for women who were victims of incest as children. As she became more vocal and visual in her community, lawyers , school counselors , and mental health colleagues asked Annette to sit on various preve ntion committees in the county.

Six years ago, Annette opened her private practice and has devoted herself to helping other women reclaim their lives after abuse . She helps the local rape crisis center train volunteers and founded a support group for other professionals who are survivors o f abuse and who deal with abuse in their own profession .

THE ANCHOR/ Spring 1993

Cynthia Klingemier

Annette has been a driving force in helping the community to recog nize and deal wit h issues of abuse against women. She feels that after living in Lake George for ten years , the county is now much more open to action on the problems of sexual abuse and domestic violence .

Patricia Hauber, Alpha Omicron , is a voice language analyst for the Department of Defense . In her job, she applies linguistic skills and contextual analysis to intellige nce critical to national security; she is also the database manager and security coordinator for her branch. Patricia is pursuing certification as a professional linguist.

Patricia graduated with honors from Clarion University with a BA in German and Russian , where she participated in the Cooperative Education Program for the Department of Defense. Alternating semesters her junior and senior years , she worked under this program with DOD , gaining valuable work and language experience, and was offered her current position upon graduation .

Patricia lives in Columbia, Maryland and says she has fond memories of her days at Clarion and a warm association with her collegiate chapter.

Re v . Cy nthia Kli ngem ie r, Alpha Kappa , is Associate Minister at Central Christian Church in Warren , Ohio. As an ordained me mber of the clergy, Cynthia says she feels "called to bring God's word to the people of God . As a woman in the ordained ministry I have the additional task of providing a positive role model to those who see the clergy as a profession for males only . I participate in the traditional duties of designing and coordinating worship services , officiating for weddings and funerals , and making hospital calls. My present portfolio also includes community missions and religious education ." Cynthia has spearheaded num erous food and clothing drives , and she works largely with children which she says is challenging .

EYE ON ...

While in seminary , Cynthia developed a weekly evening youth program for junior and senior high school students. "How rewarding it is to start a program to which youth want to come! " she exclaims .

Last summer, Cynthia took seven youths from her congregation to Kentucky, and she currently directs a bell choi r composed of fifth and sixth graders . "The rewards of youth work come whenever someone says to me , 'You have really helped me' or 'Thanks for listening' or 'I know what I need to do now ' ", she says.

In addition to her ministerial duties, Cynthia is the personnel director in her family 's supermarket business, Klingemier's Sparkle Markets . The business was started by her great-grandfather as a general store over 100 years ago; Cynthia is a fourth-generation member of what is now a three-store corporation.

Erica Lenz Papley, Alpha Pi, is Vice President of Lenz Travel Services, a travel agency opened by her family over 10 years ago in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. Erica worked part-time at the agency during college ; after graduation , she moved to Clearwater , Florida to work in a travel agency . In 1987 , Erica 's parents asked her and her husband to come back to run the agency.

"My company specializes in an academic summer program for students ages 16 years and up ", says Erica . "My parents started this program in 1964. We take over 100 students to Salzburg , Austria each summer to study the language , culture , music , and art. I see so much of myself in the 16-year-olds and it reminds me of my high school summers in Salzburg." Erica 's two young sons also accompany the family to Austria each summer.

Erica continues: "Though my job can be stressful and the travel industry changes daily it is a challenge, and I enjoy working with people . I get a lot of satisfaction from the clients who come back from a trip and stop in to share the highlights. I enjoy seeing photo albums of a honeymoon couple 's wedding, a graduation , a 25th anniversary trip , a surprise birthday package , and much more . I definitely feel good about my job."

Millersville University The Taus at Millersville had a very exciting Spring semester. We were kept busy from the start of the semester up through graduation. From planning fund raisers , philanthropy projects, and rush activities , every sister contributed her time and ideas to help make Spring a success.

We had three weeks of rush , which included both formal and informal rush .

During formal rush, we showed the serious side of the sorority by having a beautiful anchor ceremony. Our informal teas showed the fun side of the sisters by having themes like '路Late Night with AST" , where we performed sister tricks.

We participated in fundraisers , planned philanthropy projects , and took part in Greek Week. We were matched with Sigma Tau Gamma and Chi Alpha Tau , a local sorority, in the Greek Week festivities . Amy Lassi also organized a scavenger hunt as a sister activity , which was a big success.

We had a balloon sale for graduation and a rose raffle for Valentine 's Day. We also made plans to participate in the Adopt a Highway program which we will complete this fall.

The sisters of Beta Iota have many reasons to be proud. Our sisterhood was always present both on and off campus to show others what AST is all about.

From the National President

Dear Sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau, When my term as your National President began at the National Convention in June 1992 , a flood of thoughts and memories began rushing through my mind . These memories impressed on me once again just how much being a part of our sorority has meant to my life. The thoughts were of sisters from my past sorority experiences , and how important those women had been to my life and to the life of our sorority. In that vein , it occurred to me how very important every sister is to the growth and surviva l of Alpha Sigma Tau. Each of you must give in whatever way you can to help us prosper and grow as we near our lOOth year. I, as Nationa l President , or the National Council and Staff as a group, cannot keep Alpha Sigma Tau a live alone. We need YOU-every sister!

All of us have individual talents that we can give to the sorority during our lives. If you can contribute with a check to the National Foundation , do so ; if you can serve on the National Staff in any position which uses your unique talents to their fullest potential , do so ; if you can establish an alumnae chapter in your area , do so; if you can be a contributing member to an already established chapter, do so; if you can assist a collegiate chapter in some program or activity, do so; if you can serve on a committee , do so ; if you can organize a reunion , do so-but do at least stay in touch with the sorority. No matter how large or small your time and contributions can be please give whatever you can for the support of Alpha Sigma Tau. The sum of your contributions , no matter how small of time , money , and/or effort will lead to our sorority's most significant achievements. This team of sisters can only be as strong as you want to help make it. The key word here is you . The National Organization needs YOU! Won 't you give in you own way so that Alpha Sigma Tau will grow and pass on the ideals and standards given to us by our Founders and predecessors in this sisterhood?

Perhaps you have seen change take place in the sorority world . Change has occurred throughout every aspect of life and is necessary to survive in today 's world . Don 't be afraid of change-it is an integral part of growth and survival. Understanding that change and what it can and should do for us is important.

We must seek first to understand and then to be understood . We must show a spirit of mutual respect for each other and our ideas .

Our common goals and ideals bring us together. We need to work together as a strong team of women working for those goals and to perpetuate those ideals . Our word "team " has no 'T' in it! It is not "my" sorority-it is ours, and we must work together to strengthen it through our continued contributions .

As we work to help Alpha Sigma Tau grow, let us show and share our membership with pride. We must sell our product of sorority life and what it can do for women today to the university women who are students now.

These women are different in many ways from the women of past decades, but share many common ideas, ambitions, and dreams.

Wear your badge and letters with renewed pride to show the world what we stand for and what our membership development has done for each and every one of us.

The National Council and Staff are challenged to lead the sorority in the way we as sisters want it to go. Our challenge is to make the sorority meaningful to all those who pledge our chapters now and also to re-establish an important link with all alumnae. It is our hope that Alpha Sigma Tau will grow and that we will maintain the status of the high quality of leadership, love , and devotion to our sorority given by our past leaders.

Join our team and help us strengthen the bonds of sisterhood passed on to us from our Founders , and from all those builders who have worked so diligently through the past 93 years to help Alpha Sigma Tau grow and be the best that it can be. Remember, we need you and whatever you are able to give to our beloved sisterhood.

Yours in sisterhood ,
