ST. LOUIS Reported by Mary L ou colt

Seve ral summer activities are always on the calendar-most involve feasting of some kind. A luncheon in Ju ly was he ld at a hotel n ew to mo t of us.

We we re served with style in a dining room of our own .

Th e annual lunch eo n given by Beta P i for the St. Louis alumnae was held in th eir chapte r room at St. Louis Univer ity. Three founders of th e co llegia te chapter we re honored. Those attending bared in th e privi lege of si terhood throughout the years .

The real show of iste rhood is in the e nduring cele bra tion of Founders Day. For a numbe r of year , th e chapter of Edward vi ll e Alumnae, Beta Eta, th e ir co ll egiate c hapte r, Beta Psi th e co llegiate c h a pte r from St. Louis niversity and th e St. Louis alumnae h ave shared the occasion. Th e a lumna e c hapters tak e turns in hosting th e eve nt. Julie Herrm a nn , at St. Louis alum was in charge and m ad e arrangements for an afternoon tea a t th e Seven Gables Inn in Clayton . Some of us recalled the teas we attended while at college, even the hats and white g love .

Talk about the "o ld e n tim es!"

The NPC mee ting was h eld this fall in St. Louis and a dinner party was given for our de legation. The dinner wa he ld at the hom e of Margare t Gieselmann and was a nice break from meeting at the h ote l.

The Christmas sea on will find us celebrating twice with food and friend-

THE ANCHOR/ Sp ring 1996

Our fall season started off with a bang! Our first m ee ting carried th e the m e, "Spirit ight. " We all wore our gree n and gold and all of our Alpha Sigma Tau paraph e rnalia . We also init iated Miss y D e laney (Shook) of Gamma Theta into our chapter. We b egan our first of three fund raisers.

"Going to the top with T u pperware ".

Next we got toge ther for a Pampe red Chef fund raiser party. The company was great and the food wa wonde rful.

Our fina l fund raiser was selling 1996 Entertainment Books. Al l three we re successfu l.

We ce lebrated Founde rs Day at a local res taurant. Eighteen sisters atte nded , a nd we in itiated Gai l Mi ller of Gamma Ep ilon. Th e re was d e liciou food , great company and a beautifu l ca nd le light ce re mony, which mad e us all reflect on th e co mmitme nt we h ave all mad e to Alph a Sigma Tau. We have contributed to a few charitie thi season. The traditional donation to Pin e Mountain Schoo l, and don a ting Campbell's Soup Labels to the Living Waters Christian School are just a few.

For Christmas, we are p lann ing a party for all our me mbe rs and spouses.
