Remarks from our President In lieu of the usual letter from National President Tiffany K. Street, Delta Mu, we are presenting her Presidential Remarks from the 42nd National Convention. They were delivered during the Yellow Rose Banquet on Saturday, June 23, 2018.

S U M M E R 2018

What an exceptional three days we have experienced at the 42nd National Convention of Alpha Sigma Tau. Throughout Convention, the palpable theme has been the values of Alpha Sigma Tau and recognition of the positive behaviors and actions of our collegiate chapters.

Over the Past biennium, the number of adverse occurrences on university campuses has increased. It is becoming almost a daily occurrence to see sororities and fraternities highlighted in the media headlines, and these headlines are not sharing positives messages about the Greek experience. Instead, the headlines are inundated with negative incidents involving Greek woman and men and sorority and fraternity chapters.

The headlines include deaths related to alcohol-related incidents, various hazing infractions and allegations, illicit drug abuse, sexual misconduct, explicit messages of racism and prejudicial posturing, as well as overall member misconduct.

And not only are these stories making news headlines, but university administrators are taking action. Universities are banning or suspending Greek life on their campuses and publicly discrediting the value of the Greek experience.

I cannot speak for each of you on how you react to these headlines, but for me, it is genuinely gut-wrenching to see the way Greek woman and men are treating one another and the other students on their campuses. While each Greek organization has slightly different words we vow to live by, we all call them values. Every Greek organization has a set of values that serve as membership expectations. And while these values vary among organizations, I can promise you that respect is a basic value that translates across all organizations.

Where are the headlines that promote the positive and enriching experiences that membership in a sorority or fraternity provides to college women and men?

Where are the headlines that highlight the millions of dollars raised by sororities and fraternities to support their philanthropic organizations or the millions of hours of community service performed by Greek women and men annually?

Where are the headlines showing that Greek women and men have higher college retention and graduation rates than other college students? Where are the stories of sororities and fraternities challenging the academic standards of universities by setting higher expectations for their members? Where are the stories of thousands of men and women becoming empowered with valuable leadership skills because of their Greek membership?

The answer is simple. These stories are not making the headlines of news outlets. The role of the news media is to cover the hard news. Therefore, the benefits of Greek life become blurred by the negative occurrences on college and university campuses. In turn, what do these headlines create? They create skewed perceptions about Greek life.

I am in no way blaming the news media for covering these stories. Instead, I think we should hold ourselves accountable. If we were truly living by the values we vowed to live by in our Ritual ceremonies, then we wouldn’t feed into the news media frenzy. We could hope that stories of Greek women and men respecting one another and showing graciousness in their relationships would become the top stories of the day.

The rise of incidents related to risky behaviors is and will continue to threaten our mere existence as a Greek organization. If negative media messaging continues, the odds are against us as Greek organizations for membership growth. And without membership growth, our relevance and existence on university campuses will come into question.

As Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success WorldwideÂŽ, told us yesterday: When we joined Alpha Sigma Tau, we had a choice and we decided to become a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. And when we made this choice, we committed to the values of the organization as the expectations for our lives.

So I ask you today, please reflect on the values of Alpha Sigma Tau. Embrace them as more than words. Embrace them as a way of life. Make them behaviors that you exhibit every second of every day. Let the women of Alpha Sigma Tau be the catalyst that changes the negative headlines to positive news headlines.

Let us change the negative perception of Greek life. Let us lead the way in showing the world the positive and enriching experiences that membership in Alpha Sigma Tau provides women. Let us make headlines illustrating the hours we have committed and dollars raised through the support of the Women's Wellness Initiative to improve women's wellness through service activities and projects. Let us challenge the academic standards of our university campuses by setting the bar for academic excellence. Let us exhibit the personal and professional growth as well as leadership skills of our collegiate women through the Illuminate program. Let us show the world the definition of a confident and empowered woman. Let us lead the example for the world for what every woman should aspire to become. Let us exhibit the behaviors of safety for our sisters and all women through a commitment to ending sexual misconduct and assault on university campuses. Let us commit to creating a culture of safety for women and empowering the voice of women.

Together let's create the headline of women Defining Excellence.

National President Tiffany K. Street, Delta Mu Presidential Remarks 42nd National Convention

5 S U M M E R 2018

The foundational principle of Greek life is interpersonal relationships, and these relationships should be healthy.

Our values guide how we choose to live. How we choose to treat others in all interactions. How we choose to respect others. How we choose to respect ourselves. How we choose to handle conflict. Conflict is inevitable, but if not approached positively, it cripples the foundation of the Greek experience. Our values allow us as women to support and empower other women.

T H E AN C H OR

You may be asking yourself right now, what can I do to change this paradigm? To me, the answer is straightforward: live by the values that you committed to during your initiation. Encourage your interfraternal sisters and brothers to do the same. Alpha Sigma Tau can serve as the example for ALL Greeks. Imagine with me for a moment if each member of Alpha Sigma Tau lived their lives by the five core values of intellect, excellence, graciousness, respect, and connections, and allowed these values to guide every decision they made, explain to me how we would not be creating a better world? How would we continue to see the negative occurrences and member misconduct on university campuses?

19 To any Sisters who might be looking to serve, Cassidy says, “You are helping define Alpha Sigma Tau around the nation. Don’t be afraid to even step up for a position in your chapter, and then maybe look into serving in other national roles as well.”

For Tylar Benedetto, Alpha Sigma Tau touches nearly every aspect of her life. “Alpha Sigma Tau has given so much to me,” she shares. “My best friends, roommates, and future bridesmaids are all Sisters. Volunteering for an organization like this feels very natural to me.” In addition to the Nominations Committee, Tylar is also the Epsilon Mu Chapter President, a role she has held since 2017. Although Tylar is a music history major, she left Convention inspired and wanting to switch majors to student affairs so she could work for National Headquarters one day.

Volunteering Advice: “Stop making excuses and just take the leap. I was back and forth about running for the Nominations Committee for so long, continually making excuses and dwelling in self-doubt. But, I took a leap of faith and jumped during Convention. I can’t wait to see how this experience plays out.”

For alumna Ashley Harris, serving Alpha Sigma Tau feels like a natural response. “Our Sorority values call us to serve,” she says. “Along with friends and fellowship, that’s why many of us join. So why not give back to Alpha Sigma Tau for all that the Sorority has given us?”

In addition to the Nominations Committee, Ashley has also served on the Governing Documents Committee and as Recruitment Advisor for two chapters — Epsilon Upsilon and Alpha Lambda. Outside of the Sorority, Ashley enjoys running (although not competitively) and spending time with her boyfriend Justin and dog Jack.

Favorite AΣT Memory: Bid Day. “Whether it was mine or someone else’s, I enjoyed it because we got to wear all our Alpha Sigma Tau gear, plus there was lots of glitter involved!”

Samantha Karwin, Delta Phi

Favorite AΣT Memory: “Officer Academy 2007 was my first experience with the National Organization. I learned so much and was impressed by a number of young women leaders who were, and still are, my Sisters.”

Volunteering Advice: “Stay connected. Even if there isn’t an opportunity that inspires you right now, always keep in touch with Sisters and ask other Sisters who are volunteering about their experiences.”

Like many members, alumna Samantha Karwin is a busy professional and sometimes feels limited by how much time she has available to volunteer. But she doesn’t let that prevent her from finding the time to serve when she feels inspired. “I am very motivated by all that this Sisterhood has done for me,” she shares. “So I always look for ways to stay involved.” Samantha has previously served as Chapter Advisor for the Gamma Phi Chapter (which is no longer active), was Chapter President of Delta Phi, and is active in the Boston Alumnae Chapter. After graduation, she worked as an Educational Consultant at National Headquarters, where she provided operational and other support to new collegiate chapters. Professionally, Samantha is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and works as a Clinic Director for South Bay Community Services in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Outside of Alpha Sigma Tau, Samantha loves anything underwater. She is a recreational scuba diver who just completed a dive trip in Grenada.

Volunteering Advice: “Confidence is key. Don’t doubt yourself. Take any opportunity or role you can to serve.

There is always help if you feel anxious or don’t know the answer. Go for it, whatever it is.”

MEET THE NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE Tara Foncannon feels called to serve Alpha Sigma Tau because she loves volunteering and seeks to serve as a role model for young women. "I enjoy helping shape their future," Tara says. “I enjoy serving as as Epsilon Omicron’s Chapter Advisor, and I'm passionate about Alpha Sigma Tau and the values that the Sorority brings to everyone who is a member. I have met so many amazing Sisters and women who are my role models. They encourage me to be the best version of myself.” Tara also served as Epsilon Omicron’s New Member Advisor from 2014-2016.

While a collegiate member, she was the Director of Risk Management and served on the Nominations and Formal committees. Outside of Alpha Sigma Tau, Tara enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her husband, two fur babies, family, and friends. She is also an active member of the University of Southern Indiana Alumni Association Book Club.

Volunteering Advice: “When you are passionate about something, you feel drawn to serve and are willing to put forth the time and effort that it takes.

Shoot for the moon and follow your heart. Let your heart be your North Star.”

Alumna Allie Mills has always felt called to serve Alpha Sigma Tau. “I have gained so much since I joined,” she says. “The best way to give back is to serve in any capacity I can.” As a collegian, Allie served as Treasurer and Chapter President for the Gamma Gamma Chapter, in addition to many other leadership roles.

She has also served as Gamma Gamma’s Chapter Advisor since 2014 and is active in the Birmingham Alabama Alumnae Association. Outside of the Sorority, Allie loves to travel, read, spend time with family, and play with her dogs Spencer and Gus Gus. Favorite AΣT Memory: “Listening to my Sisters sing our Fraternity Hymn at my wedding.”

Volunteering Advice: “Serve any way you can. Serving in any capacity, whether it is with your local collegiate or alumnae chapter, or even on the national level, is a great way to stay connected with Alpha Sigma Tau.”

Allie Mills, Gamma Gamma

Eva Warren, Epsilon Tau

Volunteering Advice: “The journey begins with the first step. It can be intimidating to sign up, especially if you already have a busy schedule. But if you find a manageable piece to bite off, you might find that you have the time and energy to give even more.”

Favorite AΣT Memory: “During recruitment week, we had an event playing in a local river. When the weather turned, the members who were there converted it into an impromptu trip to the local ice cream place. It turned into an organic bonding session between chapter members and prospective new Sisters as we chowed down on yummy ice cream.”

A collegian, Eva Warren is Vice President of Operations at one of Alpha Sigma Tau’s newest chapters, Epsilon Tau. The Sorority is the only national sorority on her campus (Kenyon College). “Being part of a national sorority really interested me when I was looking for a sorority to join,” she recalls. “I have been inspired by the different life experiences of the members and have gotten so much out of it on both the local and national levels.”

Eva also served as her chapter’s Director of CollegiateAlumnae Engagement in 2017 and as an 1899 Society Ambassador. Outside of Alpha Sigma Tau, Eva enjoys conducting research related to her major (sociology), especially projects that get her out into the local community. At Kenyon, she works at the IT Helpline and as a Head Community Advisor for first-year students, where she helps build an inclusive and engaged residential life community. She enjoys volunteering and devotes her free time as a Volunteer Supervisor at a digital suicide and crisis hotline and singing in a local church choir. A senior, Eva hopes to pursue a PhD in sociology before continuing on to med school.

BATTER UP! Alpha Sigma Tau Goes Out to the Old Ballgame

By Lindsay McDowall, Gamma Mu

The evening of Thursday, June 21 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was warm, with only an occasional breeze to bring relief. PNC Park, home to the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team, was teeming with people gearing up for a game versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Most people were in their best Pirates gear, but one group stood out in their white and gray baseball tees – the Sisters of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority!

Following Tiffany’s triumph on the field, Sisters settled in to watch the game, take photos, and make memories. Signs shaped like baseballs helped provide the perfect accessory to every photo, but some Sisters brought their own. The women of the Gamma Tau Chapter at Lebanon Valley College brought their floral Alpha Sigma Tau flag in hopes of making it on the JumboTron.

Having arrived throughout the day for Convention and already completed one general session, Sisters from across the nation came together to relax and enjoy a classic American pastime. Even Sisters who couldn’t attend the entire Convention were included in this special event. After all, this game began with a momentous occasion as our National President Tiffany K. Street took the field to throw the first pitch to the Pirate Parrot. Highlighted on the JumboTron, it was the perfect pitch.

As Sisters watched the game, they also made trips to get food and meet other Sisters along the way. “I loved being with everyone in such an organic space,” remarked Ashley Accardo, President of the Psi Chapter. “It was a great way to meet people!”

While standing in line for crab fries (a particular local favorite), Sisters chatted and exchanged experiences. Chapters from across the country connected, mingled, and shared together.

Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-3. Though it was a shame to see the home team defeated, Sisters had a blast watching the game and enjoying all of the fun that goes along with a trip to the ballpark. “It was great to get out and experience such a fun piece of Pittsburgh, especially early on in Convention,” said avid Pirates fan Ashley Clark, Gamma Mu alumna and Assistant Chapter Advisor. “It was one of my favorite parts!”

Though each chapter is unique, the hearts of the women are not, showing that the bond of Alpha Sigma Tau brings together Sisters from all walks of life.

WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON The Women’s Leadership Luncheon celebrated our Sisterhood by recognizing member accomplishments and hearing from inspirational women like Dress for Success Worldwide® CEO Joi Gordon.

Two outstanding Sisters were recognized for their exemplary contributions to both Alpha Sigma Tau and the Panhellenic movement in general.

Sarah Polkabla, Gamma Zeta, was honored with the Mary Louise Mandrea Doyle Panhellenic Award for for her innovation, hard work, -Dress for Success Worldwide CEO and and commitment to growing the Panhellenic Keynote Speaker Joi Gordon community at Frostburg State University during her time as a collegian. Beth Knaus McOsker, Alpha Lambda, was awarded the prestigious Order of the Yellow Rose for her long, faithful service on Alpha Sigma Tau’s NPC Delegation, where she served for a total of 18 years.

Attendees were also fortunate to hear from the Luncheon’s keynote speaker, Joi Gordon. During her inspiring remarks, Joi shared her story of taking Dress for Success from a single Manhattan location to a global nonprofit – spanning 160 cities in 27 countries and serving over 1 million women by giving them the tools they need to achieve economic independence. She shared her appreciation for partners like Alpha Sigma Tau and the Sorority's Women's Wellness Initiative, which she sees as a vital part of expanding both organizations’ reach and goal of impacting and empowering women. She also held a Q&A with the audience.

After her remarks, National President Tiffany K. Street was pleased to share donations with both Dress for Success Worldwide and Dress for Success Pittsburgh on behalf of the Sorority.

27 S U M M E R 2018

Friend Dan Wrona, CEO and Project Leader of RISE Partnerships, was honored with the McCrory Order of Interfraternity Excellence Award. For nearly 20 years, Dan has provided training and consulting to leaders on more than 300 campuses and more than 30 international and national fraternal organizations – including Alpha Sigma Tau.

Saturday Excursion:

Burgh & Bites

By Ashley Hoogstraten, Beta Pi

Despite a scare of potential thunderstorms and the small detail of tickets selling out well before the weekend of Convention, the Burghs & Bites food tour excursion was a sunny success.

T H E AN C H OR

National Vice President Katherine Onyshko, Delta Phi, and Past National Vice President Kristin Palmsiano, Delta Delta, led the way through this fun-filled day. “I’m a huge fan of trying new food and wanted to spend time with Sisters in a casual, fun setting while exploring Pittsburgh,” Katherine said. “Plus, we were really worried about walking around in the thunderstorms that were predicted, so something with an inside option turned out to be better!” Originally, tour leaders had planned on everyone buying tickets to the official Pittsburgh ‘Burgh & Bites’ tour, but the event sold out well in advance of Convention. No big deal though, since these ladies have no problem thinking on their feet.

“My favorite part of the excursion was being spontaneous with our group while exploring different food places in Pittsburgh,” Kristin recalled. “Hands down, a fan favorite was when we stopped at The Yard, a locally famous restaurant known for their dozens of different types of grilled cheese. Katherine and I are both total foodies at heart and knew this was a perfect way to explore Pittsburgh with our Sisters.”

S U M M E R 2018

The Yard is located on the second story in the popular Market Square area of downtown Pittsburgh. It has a great industrial-but-modern vibe and over 20 different grilled cheese offerings on their menu, plus other menu items. This made it easy for everyone to find something they loved. Sisters could eat in the restaurant, but most opted to sit just outside in the Market Square plaza and partake in games, including Giant Jenga. After the main course and a few games of Jenga, Kristin led a group to The Milkshake Factory for some delicious dessert at the adorable local malt shop.

“I think the group game of giant Jenga in the plaza was a blast, although I should probably say [it was] the food,” said Katherine, trying to sum up her favorite part of the tour. “Even though we were with Sisters from a ton of chapters and generations, it reminded me of game night in the chapter house during college. It really proved that Sisterhood goes way beyond chapter or age.”

Andy Warhol Museum

By Kate Sweeney, Gamma Theta

It’s right there in our purpose: Alpha Sigma Tau promotes the cultural development of its members. And what better place to demonstrate that than at the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist?

The Andy Warhol Museum is made up of seven stories that presented an amazing story of an inspirational and diverse artist. Some of the paintings were familiar; some pieces were strange and awkward; but reconnecting with a Sister in the halls of the museum was special.

Alpha Chapter members were thrilled to meet Sisters from all over the country and learn so many new things to bring back to their chapter!

Our favorite part of Convention were the General Sessions. We had a lot of fun while learning to make Alpha Sigma Tau more progressive and inclusive.

The two Sisters representing the Beta Chapter enjoyed connecting with Sisters from across the country and learning new ideas to bring back to the chapter in the fall. Convention was uplifting and inspired a new energy for the year to come!

Rho’s favorite part of Convention was seeing Sisters from all over the country and making connections. We loved bonding in different places in the city and showing that our love for Alpha Sigma Tau is so powerful.

Our favorite memories from Convention include seeing National President Tiffany Street throw the first pitch at a Pirates game, catching up and meeting with Sisters from all over the country, making connections with Sisters from our own chapters, and hearing stories from our more “experienced” Sisters.

from the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter. The schedule allowed for plenty of time to explore the city of Pittsburgh, meet up with old friends as well as meet new women— many of whom were motivating and inspiring. We especially enjoyed hanging out with women from our own chapter and getting to know them in a more extended casual setting. It was great to see alumnae programming offered this year, and we were thrilled with the opportunity to present and speak to topics relevant to alumnae chapters today. However, our very favorite part of this amazing weekend was having one of our very own honored at the Yellow Rose Banquet with the Lois Schweikart O’Dell Anchor Award.

Congratulations to Nicole Ball!

National President throw out the first pitch was something I will never forget.” Juliann Worden: “My favorite part was meeting and getting to know alumnae from all over the country and feeling like I have known them for years! Proud to see first hand how collegians from each chapter are taking initiative, contributing to their campuses and communities, and becoming the future leaders of our organization.

This year we were honored to have a voting Delegate at Convention. We have been an alumnae association for only two years, so it was exciting to go and represent our group. It was amazing to meet Sisters from other alumnae chapters and associations and share our stories and experiences. In July, we held a business meeting at a local restaurant, where we finalized our calendar for the year. In August, we are preparing to assist the Gamma Gamma Chapter with recruitment needs.

The Detroit Metro Alumnae Chapter had five members attend Convention this summer. Our Sisters enjoyed exploring the city of Pittsburgh and seeing old friends again. They also formed lasting bonds with collegiate women and loved working together to advance Alpha Sigma Tau.

For the Greater Chicago Alumnae Chapter, our fondest memory of Convention was having so many Chicago Sisters present! In August, we will have our annual summer BBQ, where we will finalize the calendar for the rest of the year.

The Lehigh Valley Alumnae Chapter was represented at Convention by Tracy Ciabattoni, Zeta. Tracy enjoyed reconnecting with Sisters she hadn't seen for 16 years, as well as getting to know collegiate members from various chapters.

What she enjoys most about Convention is seeing collegiate and alumnae members cooperatively discussing changes, traditions, challenges, and successes.

This summer the Southeastern Louisiana Alumnae Chapter had several members attend Convention in Pittsburgh. We loved seeing Sisters we haven't seen since the last Convention and really enjoyed meeting new Sisters, such as a group of amazing Sisters from the Beta Eta Chapter. The excursions were fantastic and the highlight was watching our very own National President throw out the first pitch at a Pirates baseball game.

We're already looking forward to the next Convention. This fall, we will watch our new Sisters run home to Phi Chapter,

We were fortunate to have four Sisters from our chapter attend Convention this summer: Kate Miller, Zeta Tau; Beth McOsker, Alpha Lambda; Joanne Walter, and Mary Askins, Alpha Lambda. They especially liked connecting with collegiate members, reconnecting with alumnae friends, and meeting many new Sisters.

Because we are a virtual alumnae association, with members scattered across the globe, it is a rare thing for several Stars and Stripes alumnae to be in the same place at once. Convention provided an opportunity for many of us to meet face to face for the first time. As we head into a new season, we're gearing up for another Treats 4 Troops event and hoping to break last year's record. This year several of our members have had life changes such as retirement from military life, children joining the military, changes of duty stations, babies, and more. We're blessed to have a group that allows us to stay connected as Sisters.

Our president, Tiffany Saragian, Beta Tau, attended this year’s Convention as a voting Delegate for the Lowell Alumnae Chapter.

This was her fourth Convention since her initiation in 2002. When we asked her what her favorite part of Convention was, she replied, “I enjoyed learning more about other alumnae chapters and associations.

It is always a struggle to engage alumnae into being active members and this year the breakout sessions provided some useful tools to bring back to the chapter.”

We are truly grateful for all the time and leadership Tiffany has provided to our chapter over her last 12 years as President and we can’t wait to see what she brings us this year from her experiences at Convention.

They felt that the speech by Joi Gordon, Dress for Success Worldwide CEO, was motivating and inspirational and were pleased to be present when Beth McOsker was awarded the Order of the Yellow Rose.

They highly enjoyed the larger aspects of Convention such as the General Sessions, Yellow Rose Banquet, and speakers, but also loved the quieter moments with Sisters. They loved being able to connect with other Sisters’ experiences and learning how becoming a member of this Sisterhood has affected them for the better. As Beth McOsker put it: “That’s what Convention is all about: connecting with Sisters we have known for many years and meeting new ones. We laugh, cry, and cheer one another on. Often we don’t agree, but we remain Sisters just the same. This year, I enjoyed our night at the ballgame, sharing a meal with my collegiate chapter, voting to make historic changes to our organization, and cheering on my fellow Sisters. I can’t wait to do it all again in two years.”

Anchoring Thoughts

By Anchor Editor Kate Sweeney, Gamma Theta

It’s consistently said that one of the best parts of Convention is “meeting and seeing Sisters from across the country!” It’s been stated numerous times in the pages here. But it’s difficult to portray what that truly means or have others understand what that encompasses in just this handful of words.

Although everyone’s Convention experience is different, here is what “meeting and seeing Sisters from across the country!” meant for me: Running into Sisters – Shanee Frazier and Theresa Gallo – at Newark Airport while waiting for our flight and immediately befriending each other on social media.

Reuniting with two Sisters whom I met when I was in the Houston Alumnae Chapter – Pat Nayle and Tiffany Street.

Finally meeting members of The Anchor team after working as the Editor for four years.

Briefly saying hi and speaking with Eva Warren, the collegiate member who impressed us all during the General Sessions, and ultimately was voted in as one of the new Nominations Committee members and one of two Convention Top Taus.

Having the pleasure of meeting the always energetic Bobbie Nichols, then cheering her on a short time later when she received her 50-year member pin.

The countless other Sisters I met, reconnected with, and was inspired by during those short four days.

Ultimately, Convention reconnects us to the Sorority by connecting us with our Sisters. It’s an experience I wish everyone could have at least once. It transcends expectations of what sisterhood looks and feels like. It’s something that, even with as much space as I have here on this page, cannot be described in words.
