ÂŁ4Jl' 0"" - - - - - Remember on the first day of chool when rou were asked that inevitabl que tion, 'vVhat did yo u do during our ummer vacation?"

Well, Danielle DeSimone, Gamma Omega, a senior education major at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, had an intere ting tor to te ll her student during her Ludent teaching thi s mester. he pent the month of Jul in Tenancingo, Mexico, as a United State D legation Leader to the 1994 Children' lnLernational Summer Vi llage (CISV).

The Childr n's International ummer Village program i an internationally-recognized organ ization found d

by Dori Allen. Danie ll e notes tl1at M .

Allen found d this organization to promote fri nd hip and under tanding among hildren, oung people, and adult in all part of the world.

In Ran cho Grande in Tenancingo (Lwo hours outh of Mexico City) th i ear, over 92 nationalities and 15 countrie participated in the eve nt. There were 18 A chapters invo lved in the program.

"I h ard about the program through an ad a king for volunteer in the La all niver it new paper," Danielle aid. She then went through an inl rvie\ pro and was awarded th po ition of delegation leader. In

thi po ition, she wa respon ible for four 11-year-olds (two boy and two girl ) . According to Daniell , th organization target thi age group because it is a n easy ag that accept n w things and has few, if a ny, prejudices.

"I was their friend , parent, and everything for a whole month.

"A a delegation leader, you need some past work in g experience with chi ldren and great organ izationa l ski ll s," he adds with a laugh. "There are a lot of medical forms and in urance forms to fi ll out before you leave."

There were also a lot of other d etai l that Daniell e had to attend to before leavi ng for Mexico in July. Perhaps most importantly, h had to gain tl1 e trust of the ch ildre n with whom she would be spending so much time. Starting a montl1 before their departure, she met weekly with the children so they cou ld get to know one another, and tl1ey cou ld plan the detai ls for their " Tational Even ing" pre entation where the children wou ld share a little of the U.S. cu lture witl1 the other children of the vi llage, through food , a slid e presentation, and dances.

"It is a unique experience with all the different countries. Rather than just reading about these cu ltures, you get to see a li ttle of each one firsthand ," he added enthu ia ticall y.

Thi e n rgetic ALT further explain ed that most of the time at the vi ll ag wa pent directly with the ch ildren. A normal day began at 7:30 in the morning, and then proceeded with activitie in drama and art and crafts, all of wh ich represented different cu ltures. A Dani li e point out, the ch ildre n might tart the day by performing a play in Spanish and finish the day learning the ign languages used by the people ofThai land.

Highlights of the trip included the initial trip into the town ofTenancingo, where the CISV wa welcomed by the town people, whom Danielle de cribe as very pati ent and cooperative, particularly as the group practiced their panish. They also e njoyed a three-hour bu rid e to the pyTamids at Teoteohaucan, where they climbed the un and the moon pyramids.

T h e leaders met together at night to di cuss the events of the day, and they also had one free weekend. On their free weekend , they vi ited aile De Bravo, about three hour from the vi ll age. Leaders visited the Buddhi t Temple of the Butterflie , v ent to a di coth eque, and stayed in a beautiful h ote l. During the leaders' fre w ekend, the c hildre n lived with aM xican host fami ly and were able to ee what Mexican life was like, Dani li e aid.

They took in sicrhts of Mexico with their host'families; each host famil wa a part of CISV. "I will definite! keep in touch with tl1e chi ldren. They all live clo e to (continued on ne l page)

(continued from previous page) LaSall e U nive rsity," sh e said. But sh e also pla n to keep in touch with th e o th er frie n ds sh e mad e thi s umm er.

"I h ave already sta rted writing," sh e laughs. ''The childre n and I already rece ived - in Augu t- seve ral invi tations to trave l durin g o ur Christm as a nd sum mer vacati on ." Sh e no ted tha t sh e would li ke to trave l someday, a nd it i nice kn owing tha t th ere are 15 oth e r co untr i es wh e re s h e a lr ea d y h as fr i -~ n ds!

"I wil i d efin itely neve r forge t the peo ple. Ju st the a tmosp h ere a t camp is h ard to e xp la in ," Da n ie ll e a id . ''There was a will ingness to acce pt o n e a n o th e r without prejudice . I t was an in credibl e fee lin g ."

In tryi ng to relate this expe rie nce to her own li fe a nd h er chosen career, sh e add s, "it h as g ive n me a mu c h broader perspective. " It wa a true te t for this future teache r. "It was like having four kids of my own 24 hour a d ay.

I had o ne chil d for each arm a nd leg," she jokes.

Da ni ell e re-e mp h asi zes th a t th e main purpose of th e p rogram i to start young a nd teach childre n that we can acce pt othe rs a nd achi eve peace. Sh e po in ts out th at as a mem be r of a sorority, this is especially good to re me mbe r, since as siste r we are lea rn ing to communicate an d get along. "I will d efinitely sh are thi s ex perie nce with my ch a pter, bu t it is su ch a n incredible expe ri e n ce; they would rea lly have to go throug h it to und erstand what it's like," sh e co ncl uded .

"I can 't wait to get back to my chapter and use what I've learned here!"

"We really got to meet a lot of sisters from all over!"

"The National Staff and Council are really nice women!"

'The sorority has taught me the true meaning of th e o ld saying, 'you get out of it what yo u put into it'," said Rebecca J ackson, the 1994 Convention Queen and Mary Louise Do yle Panhellenic Award recip ient.

Rebecca has put a lot into Alpha Sigma Tau, wh ether as a pledge, ister, or as an officer for the Gamma Gamma Chapter at Livingston University. Her chapter advi er, Me lind a Willingham, says, "She wi ll go beyond the call of duty when yo u ask h e r to. She is a lways giving 110% of her time an d talent."

This statement is easily supported wh e n one takes a look at Rebecca's resume. While at the Gamma Gamma Ch apter, Rebecca has served as Vice Pre ide nt, Rush Director, Rock-a-Thon Chairman, Ritual Chairman, Manageme nt In stitute Chairman , Founders Da y Chairman, Rho Chi, a nd as Panh elle nic De legate, Vice Presid e nt, and Presid ent.

The li st does not top with sorority duties. Re becca still finds time to be an active m mber of th e Livingston cam pu as the S nior SGA Senator, LU Envoy (campus hostess), Re id nt s is tant , Surnrn r Orientation 10

Leader, and a member of the Greek Council.

Despite the e many activiti e , this Business Admini tration major and Marketing minor doe not lo e sight ofhercareergo~sandround outher extracurricu lar activities by adding member hip in bu ine s organization into her agenda. Rebecca i a member of Delta Sigma Pi bu ine s fraternity, where she has held the position ofVice Pre identofPledge Education and President. She i al o a part of tud en t in Free Enterprise (SIFE) as both th e Treasurer and Vice Pre ident.

This year, Rebecca al o erved as the Vice President for L ' W T (Student Working with Alumni Toge th er) Team in an effort to raise funds for the university.

Rebecca attribute much of her success to ALT and her advi er Melinda Wi ll ingham. "ALT has helped me develop into a mature and well-rounded woman _ I 've learned how to work with o ther and become a leader," she aid_ "There i not a dollar amount that I co uld place on the experience and knowledge I have obtained through working with LT. " There is no dollar amount that M .

Willingham would place on being able to escort one of h er girls in to the 1994 a tion a! Convention Award Banque t as the Convention Queen. "My girls a re more than just sisters to me; they are my children , and I have become very close to Re b ecca over the pa t years."

With a huge mile on her face , Rebecca adds about the Mar y Loui e Doyle Pan h e lleni c Award, "Nothing in the world could have made me happier than winning uch a pre tigiou award. Mrs. Doyle is my idol. I wish ALT had more Mr . Doyle . I feel honored to have been cho en for an award nam ed for her. " Rebecca i a native ofJ ack on, Alabama, and is the daughter of Shirley Craft and Gar Joe J ackson.

On a final note , he added that LT will remain part of h er life and he can hard! ' wait to see what the world of alumn a tatus ha in tore for h e r.

Rush Skills: Not just for College!

BY KAREN D E CHF!ELD-MASTERSO ' BETA

XI, NATIONAL RusH CooRDINATOR

When we think of rush, our thoughts focus on rushees: What can we do to attract women who will best serve our organization? How can we inform them a bout AlT in a fun way?

How can we learn the mo st abo ut them? But while we are focu ing our attention on other people (o ur rushees), we are developing valuable professional skills at the sam tim e.

Recall your feeling when yo u first participated in rush . o doubt, you were unsure of what to say, a bit nervous, and very un co mfortabl e when a lu ll occurred in the conversation.

Mostly, you were probabl y overwhelmed with trying to move smoothly from one one-on-one conver ation to another in a crowded room .

Mter a while, though , we all become more relaxed during rush. We are less self-conscious, and more confident and comfortable. We even try to make the rushees feel more comfortable! At this stage, we begin to concentrate on educating ourselve about wh at each rushee had to offer our chapter and our national organization.

Eventually, we becom e ea oned veterans at ru h. We are poised from

Learning the art of small talk make for much smoother interviews and ntsh partie. Angela Howard and Anne Crawford keep awkward pau es to a minimum and enjO)' 1heir interview experience at a rush party.

our hand hak to our mile, to our eye contact, to the way we move throughout the room gathering and distributing information. We are good at networking, naturall initiating conver ation with women we didn ' t know. We earc h for om one to replace oure lves (to en ur our chapter would continu e ucce fully after we graduate), and for additional women (to strengthen lT with additional talented women).

How do our ru h kills aid u in our personal and profe ional growth?

Ru h teaches u how to interview and be interviewed. No matter which path ou take after graduation, interviewing skills are invaluable. Duringjob interview , you are evalu ated on your ability to li ten, peak confid ently, answer questions clearly, e ll your e lf, and keep a conver ation flowing and intere ting. The e kill are vitally important , not only when you are the interviewee, but also when ou are the interviewer. I believe we take the e skills for granted.

For my first important interview, I practiced a bit, poli hed my shoes, pent a lot of time on my re ume, and then came the interview.... Surpri ingly, I had fun! The conver ation flowed , and we had an even exchange on what I could offer them, and what they could offer me.

I wa leavincr 0 ' the interviewer said, ' He Karen ? Excellent interview." That surpri ed me.

It was so easy. In the six year that I've worked for my current company, I've interviewed hundreds of people. Intenriewing was never in m job de cription. Lookin cr back, I realize now hm participating in all of tho rushe enabled me to fine-tune m intervie\\ring kills.

Rush teache u how to network.

We learn to join organization o that we can de elop a network of friend and professional contact . We I arn to a "h e llo " to the per on in the e levator. You n ver know wh n a ne\ contact will b able to offer 'Ou a job become on of 'OUr b t fri nd or h lp ou refinance our h u e. '

Melinda Oates knows that preparation for any rush party - or interview- i the key to success.

Ru h al o teache u important committee kill . Mter graduation, n matter what your profe ion , you will work with other people to reach a common goal. Working on the ru h committee teach u to olicit and u e other ' input, and to detail and finalize plan . We learn how to delegate to individual who have different tyle and abilitie , monitor their progre and even work within a budget.

Finally, a Ru h Direc tor, yo u learn how to delegate to manacrer (that i , th e ru h com mittee leader ) . You hone yo ur kill to devi e complete, orche trated plan . You learn how to manage yo ur time and motivate people.

Although it i ea to recall the unea ine we have ometime felt while ru hing, take a fe, moment to appreciate ju t how much 'OU learned from it. Then u e tho evaluable kill (remember, ou don 't haY to be at a ru .h) to find future memb r or help tram our newe t member . Ru h i n t .nl ' \rita! t your per onal and profe 10nal d v I pment; it i a\ vit 1 to the enduran e and crrowth of ur , orority. V\e n ed to ntinual\y ear h for worn n who will further th id , b f ph tgma au.

Our rush program started out with two informal rush parties. The fir t, celebrated Gamma Tau ' second birthday with a little kid's birthday party theme, complete witl1 pigtail , pajama and pinatas! Our econd one had an astro logy theme. We wound up with 14 pledged! As we vvelcome our new sisters, we must say good-bye to 13 of our enior .

We may ca ll or write to the chamber for information regarding the community we wi ll be visitin g, including place to stay, thing to do, and how to get there. However, few people really know what a ch amber of comm rce is, how it is organized, and how the e service are made possib le. The many opportunities that it offer are a my tery to most of u .

The chamber is not a civic club or a charitab le organization. or i it a part of a ny governmenta l bod .

Nu Chapter Hosts Alumnae Reunion in Denver ATIONAL

The u Chapter sorority house no longer stands on Tenth Avenue at the niversity of orthern Co lorado in Gree ley, Colo., but the alumn ae si ters of this former coll egiate chapter have kept the spi rit of LT shining.

Sisters of the ' u Chapter gathered August 6 a nd 7 in Den er, Colo., for an Alpha Sigma Tau reun ion. Ann Nelson Ri ch ardso n dubbed her De nver hom e the so rority h ouse of the day for Saturda 's event. Ann and Margaret Bellin o Troisi hosted a garden lunc h eo n with summer a lads o n th e m e nu s and green and go ld lin en on the table .

With advance p la nnin g for thi eve nt, the organizing comm ittee wa p leased to h o t 19 si ters. Alumnae members traveled from al l over th e countr , in cluding ewJ er ey, evada, Alabama, and Georgia.

Tau closer to home made it a well, and the group welcomed Marietta Rough Rud olph from Fort ollin , Co lo.

"Tho e years in the sorority were some of the best year of m life," Marietta aid. "I have n ' t een orne of these friends in quite a whi le but we have had a great tim here."

Colorado Spring a lumnae member Grace Walter Rie ter, Pi, and Barbara Forre ter Smith , Iota, al o joined the reuni n Saturda , a long \ ith Denver' active alumnae chapter memb r .

Chapter Excellence is a term with which we are quite familiar, but what does the term mean to u a member of Alpha Sigma Tau? According to Webster's New Collegiate D ictionary, excellence is defined as having a superior or valuable quality. The e qualitie can be translated to qur co ll eg iate and alumnae chapters, as our chapter should strive to pos es these qualities and be excellent chapters.

Chapter Excellence (previo usly known as Chapter Efficiency) has been with Alpha Sigma Tau from alm ost the very beginning. A reference to Chapter Excellence can be found in the minutes of the Seventh ational Convention held in 1939. A motion wa pa ed that Alpha Sigma Tau would reward collegiate and alumn ae chapter with the highe t efficiency in all departments. Over the year , Alpha Sigma Tau ha improved and upgraded the Chapter Excellence program that exi ts today. Thi program i a meaure of the tatus, progress , and achievement of collegiate and alumnae chapters. The Chapter Excellence program qualifie the good stand ing of collegiate and alumn ae chapter and determine their e ligibili ty toreceive national award and vote at Convention.

Specifically, collegiate chapter are evaluated in five area :

3.

Regional Leadership Workshop Attendance Regional Leader hip Workshops are anoth er opportunity to nhance commun ication between co ll egiate chapters and the national organization.

Chapters from a geograp hi cal region and National Staff members come together at a central location for a weekend of learn ing and haring. A variety of topic relevant to collegiate chapters i covered during the weekend.

4.

Financial Responsibility The financial responsibility of a co ll eg iate c hapter is promoted through the timely payment of all dues, fee , and insurance premiums. Points are awarded ba ed on the comp letene of the report and the po tmark dates. Deadline have been established to ensure accountabi lity on the part of the co llegiate chapters.

5.

Academic Standing Scholarship is a major priority of a ll co ll egiate c hapters. Points are awarded based on the chapter' cumulative grade point average. Any chapter ranked #1 on its campus is awarded bonus points.

The Chapter Exce lle n c program is somewhat different for alumnae chapter . Alumnae chapter are evaluated in one area, the submi ssion of reports. As with co llegiate chapter reports, alumn ae chapter re ports are a major form of communication b etween the alumnae chapter and th e national organization.

Alpha Sigma Tau rece ntly held its 30th ationa l Convention in Buffalo .

The Convention theme of "Looking Beyond ... " is appropriate when on ide ring the Chapter Excellence program. As Alpha Sigma Tau approaches it Centennial in 1999 and the 21 st century, each co llegiate and alumnae c h apter mu t trive to pos ess tho qualities that describe a n exce ll ent chapter. By ach ieving excellence in th e eva lu ated area , this can be acco mplished.

Best wi he s on achieving your Chapter Exce llence,

'1Vl~~i<.路1JQ Mary Beth Kelley, currently Director of Alumnae, is the immediate past ational Secretary. The ational Secretary administers the Chapter Excellence program.

Report Submission The Chapter Excellence program encourages communication betw路een the collegiate chapters and the national organization through the use of reports.

Report deadlines have been established to ensure accountabilily on the part of the collegiate ch apters. The amount of points awarded for report ubmission depends on the comp letene s of the report and the postmark date.

2.

National Convention Attendance Communication is further enhanced through attendance at rational Conventions. A National Convention affords the opportunity to come together to learn , share, and conduct sorority busine s. It is a major benefit of being a member of anational sorority.
