IN APPRECIATION My Dear Sorors Throughout Zetadom, I cherish this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation and gratefulness for your many endearing expressions of your love for me. I have often said that we five "Pearls" are the most lavished and best attended group of "Greek Pearls" in the world, Oh, can never cease thanking God for you! Some of you have come through the latter part of the Roaring Twenties, weathered the storm of the Depression of the Thirties, a II the way to the present age of space travel. Yet, in this world of sudden and drastic change, you have been able to keep the pace in modern development and progress. I bid you Godspeed in your future endeavors. I hope you will continue the kind of strong and effi-

GRAND BASILEUS BRADHAM DUAL CHIEF When Mayor Hans Tanzler of Jacksonville, Florida, appointed Grand Basileus Bradham as Chief of the Social Services Division of Child Service of Jacksonville, this not only, marked a "first" in this city and state, but also presented a dual challenge to the new "chief" as national president of the sorority and liaison for social change. Her untiring efforts in initiating sorority service projects and planning for the 50th Anniversary Boule make it more relative to enhance the services for children. "My other activities are just weekend jaunts," she said, "but I hope I can utilize the ideas from them to give better services to the children of Jacksonville."

SPIRITUAL AND INTERCULTURAL RETREAT

RECAP - RELATE - REDI RECT was the theme of the 24th conference of the Atlantic Region 'held in

October 1968 at the Hilton Inn in Tarrytown, New York. This action was related to voting, earning a living, getting an education, securing better housing, p~omoting better understanding among peoples and getting closer to God through prayer. Grand Basilcus Mildred C. Bradham participated actively by relating the Sorority's Ten-Point ~rogram and how to redirect efforts to make Sorority life more meaningful and of more benefit to mankind. Past Grand Basileus Deborah P. Wolfe interrupted a speaking engagement to speak at the Sunday morning inspirational service on the "Power of Prayer In Our Daily Lives." She reminded the Region that listening for an answer is as important as .the prayer of the petitioner. Sunday morning Re-Pledge Breakfast and Inspirational Hour was an innovation for thi Regional Conference. Founders Arizona C. Stemons, Myrtle Faithful and Fannie P. Watts led the Region in the Re-Pledge service and brought their personal words of encouragement and inspiration. This marked the first time that three Founders attended the Regional Conference.

THEME: "ff/ h ere t here is '1011 bt, let me s01P /11i I /1." -Prayer of St. Fran('is

A keen awareness of and deep concern for the increasing turmoil and upheaval in the. world. has led Soror Anita Turpcau Anderson, Atlantic Regional lntercultural Chairman of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., to engage members of the Atlantic Region in a Spiritual and lntcrcultural Retreat. On May 25, 1968, a very rewarding experience was witnessed by sorority members from Coatesville, Md. Soror Anderson set the tone for the day as she reverently led Meditation. Sorer Catherine Neal, Basileus of Alpha Zeta Chapter, sang a cappella "My Task" which blended so well with the thoughts by Retreat Chairman. This part of the meeting was closed with the singing or the National Sorority Song. How blessed to have in our midst the composers of the words and music for it, Sorors Anita T. Anderson and Audrey Robinson, who is also Director of the Eastern Region. Mrs. Bertha W. Jarrett, Field Representative, interpretcd the world vision of Koinonia. She challenged the group to bring the Power or God into all human affairs through dynamic, believing prayer. She displayed a radiant glow as she personally witnessed that prayer combined with love and self-giving is the only way to personal and world survival in this age of change. Mrs. Martha Noel talked about the Adult Education program in Liberia Literacy Classes and trying to unify the 28 tribe as each sptaks its own vernacular. Koinonia Foundation has been given the opportunity to become a full-fledged partner with the Liberian government in this task of unifying the population through the English literacy program. Colorful slides of Koinonia workers and their activities gave a feeling of closeness and understanding of the program in Liberia. Soror Mary Hunt, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. National African Project Director, commented on her interest in and recent trip to Liberia. A circle was formed, with hands clasped in fellowship, for "grace" before lunch. Pleasant moments were shared and personal interests revealed. The touring of the grounds with staff member Mrs. Noel, as guide, helped present the history of Koinonia and the changes and improvements made by the staff since its purchase. The buildings and gardens showed evidences of great affection and attention. A few of the African artifacts were viewed. There arc over 3,000 at the Foundation. Mr. Glenn Harding, Director of Koinonia Foundation at Pikesvillc, Md., talked, at length, concerning the world situation. He pointed out that the problem today is that we arc with people but do not understand them. Situations draw us together but we do not communicate. We must attune ourselves with God and through prayer and love try to make adjustments toward peace. The explanation by Mr. Harding of "The Prayer of the lntcrccsor For the cw World, ' which was so aptly written by the Koinonia Foundation, gave a feeling of oneness. NOTE: Recorded by Soror Althea S. Cornish, Alpha Z ta Chapter.

''ORCHIDS" and "HATS OFF"

A CHALLENGE TO GREEKS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Soror Essie King James, organizer and First Basilcus of Gamma Rho Zeta Chapter, Palmetto, Florida, was honored, by its members, with a Surprise Retirement Program - "YEARS TO REMEMBE~" - upon h~r recent retirement after a 40-ycar teaching career. This was the grandest and most beautiful affair ever given in Manatee County, Florida. It was held at the Memorial Elementary School Cafetoriurn on Mother's Day, 1968.

A "Middle Class American" can live an entire life without ever meeting a poor person or a person involved in. crime. Talking or reading about a problem is not enough today. We are finally forced to acknowledge the existence of widespread poverty and the rising forces in crime. Many young men and women, as well as alumnus, of Greek-letter systems have been involved on surface research, assessing methods to deal with the problems. Somehow the solution becomes weighty and the results arc placed on a shelf. We must commit ourselves to application and responsibility. ACTION IS THE FORMULA.

Friends relatives, Sorors, and even the pupils of Soror J arncs' class and school kept thi a complete secret from her until she was called upon the stage. Soror James was honored with a program first, which consisted of the county's best talent. The sorors had planed the most unique manner of having S'?ror James further honored by continuing the program with a mock T.V. show titled '"DO YOU REMEMBER ME?" During this memorable period Soror James was showered with innumerable gifts, flowers, telegrams and c~rds, plaques, letters from friends, schoolmates, relatives from out of town, and representing many states, from Washington to Florida, D. C. to Florida on the cast, and many western states and cities too numerous to name. The Sorors and hometown folks and relatives had housed and kept the out of town and state visitors hidden over the weekend from Soror James. The flow of happy and surprised tears prevented her from making a "thank-you" speech. Soror James says she still has not finished reading and responding to the cards, plaques, telegrams, etc. These pictures, he hopes, will help her to say some of her "thank-you's."

We therefore offer this challenge to all Zetas and Greeks of National Panhcllcnic Council membership the Self-Study Evaluation: J. Can you give the Dance assessment requested by the local chapter as an individual gil't, for a project to aid the HUNGER and a PREVENTIVE CRIME PROGRAM FOR OUR YOUTH THE YEAR AROUND? ' 2. Can you sacrifice and also give the cost of the beverages, for the dance night, to your chapter for a project to aid HUNGER and a PREVENTIVE CRIME PROGRAM FOR OUR YOUTH THE YEAR AROUND?

Soror Elaine Brown is presently serving as Basileus of the chapter. Each member worked untiringly and burned much "midnight oil" to accomplish this most outstanding public appearance, for ZETA, in this area.

3. Can you sacrifice and give the cost of an evening gown, formal dress suit, or price or cleaning such items to your local chapter for a project to aid HUNGER and PREVENTIVE CRIME PROGRAM FOR OUR YOUTH THE YEAR AROUND?

Zeta's "W 011uu1 of the Year"

4. Can you sacrifice anti also give the hours involved in an evening of social dancing (3 - 4 hours) a month to help in the ACTION FORMULA - meeting with persons in the poverty area, helping to prepare menus for adequate diets, seeing that school lunches arc available to all, working with youth in jails, boys' homes, girl ' homes, detention halls and foster homes as a DIG BROTHER or BIG SISTER?

The members of the Gamma Rho Zeta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority honored Sorer Essie King James as their "Woman of the Year" during the celebration service of Finer Womanhood Weck, in February, for her many outstanding contributions to the. community and the State of Florida. Soror James 1s the organizer of this chapter and served faithfully for five consecutive years as its First Basilcus. She has held an office for two years in the Southeastern Region of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. She is a member and assistant director of the Junior Department of the St. John First Baptist Institutional Church, vice president of the Palmetto Woman's Club, an officer of the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs, associate matron of Palmetto O.E.S. Lodge, recording secretary of the Court No. 26 Daughters-of-Isis and is active in every phase of community welfare and the integrated United Christian Women's Club of Bradenton. The members of Gamma Rho Zeta arc proud to honor her and to have her accept, and wear, the "Woman of the Year" pin.

Did you score a passing mark on the "Self-Study"? We did not allow room for excuses, remarks, and/or comments. We did not wish lo make the plan easy. It is not easy to be hungry; it is painful to become involved in crime at various levels; it is not easy to exist without a job, good housing, recreation, etc. COME JOIN -Tl-IE MAJ STREAM, "get a piece of the action," accept the challenge. Sincerely, MILDRED

Soro, Koontz greeted by sorors at 48th Anniversary Boule in Chicago.

Greetings Sorors, I come to the office of Regional Director with just enough faith, fear and apprehensions to inspire all of us to do our best in the Great Lakes Region. My faith is grounded in the great work this area can do when porperly motivated. My fear is based on the fact that there are so many predecessors who have made such giant steps that I cannot afford to loaf!

A famed politician said a few days ago that one does not go about seeking leadership. When the right time comes, he contends, others seek him out and thrust the mantle of leadership upon his shoulders. In accepting this mantle of leadership, I come to you, not with an attitude of destroying that which has been laid down in almost five decades, but rather continuing in the footsteps of other trail-blazers in hopes of continued fulfillment.

I have done a lot of soul-searching and have concluded if one's personal conviction as to the destiny of Zeta in helping fill the void of so many people; if a fervent desire to delete ignorance and poverty from our society; if teaching and directing the young so that they may have a sense of worth; if desiring that we as leaders of our various communities direct our personal and collective energies toward services rather than mere words, then I have been rightfully chosen. There is a large reservoir of intellectual resources among Zetas in the Great Lakes Region. I trust that our main concern will be the tapping of these energies for useful purposes.

REGIONAL IN WINDSOR-The Great Lakes Regional was held at the Seaway Inn in Windsor, Ontario, Conodo, April, 1969. The hostesses for the occasion were Sorors of Beto Omicron Zeto Chapter in Detroit, Michigan. Sorer Mory Gray, Bosileus.

Mu Zeta Chapter Progressively Climbs the Ladder of Accomplishments

ville, has now become the first lady of the Southern University System since Brother G. Leon Netterville, Jr., her _husband, was named President. It is the largest predominantly Negro state-supported university in the United States with the main campus at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a branch (SUNO) at New Orleans and a branch at Shreveport.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana - Whether the musical notes resound tunefully and pleasantly or whether a void is left by a sad note here and there, each strain adds to the composition of great masterpieces of our time.

Delightfully, a reception was sponsored by Mu Zeta Chapter in her honor. It was held during the festive season - Christmastime. This affair was held on Saturday, December 28 from noon to 2:00 p.m. at one of the largest church centers in Baton Rouge, Mount Zion First Baptist Church Community Center. The entire State of Louisiana, as well as national figures, greeted and congratulated the honorees. The membership is extremely proud of the image it projected by this "Holiday Delight." It showed that it was equally proud of brother and sister, Dr. and Basileus, the G. Leon Nettcrvilles, Jr.

The usual activities of Mu Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have not been neglected but to the contrary, thev have been continued enthusiastically by the sorors throughout the year. On the local scene, the Annual Retreat, Amicae Program, Youth Projects, Community Services in hospitals all have been carried out. Seasonal activities at such times as Thanksgiving and Christmas gave spice to the year's program. The Blue Revue and Finer Womanhood Week were also observed through meticulously planned programs and hard work to the credit and praise of our Chapter.

Regional Director Weds Ft. Worth Junior High Assistant Principal

Regionally, Mu Zeta has especially filled its place, delegates having been in attendance at the Annual Regional Meeting and Executive Council Meeting in Texas and representation as an office of the Region was made by Soror Amelia J. Lewis who has acted in the capacity of Regional Public Relations Director.

Amid a setting of pink blossoms in the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Harrison, Sr., Mrs. Hazel Routte and Mr. Jerrimiah Simmons exchanged marriage vows November 2. The bride wore blue and carried a small Bible topped with a white orchid. She was attended by her sister, Mrs. Viola Holloway, who chose pink for her attire. Mr. Simmons and the best man, Mr. Juan Bennett of Fort Worth, wore black suits with white boutonnieres. The simple but impressive ceremony was performed by the pastor of the bride, the Reverend W. Malone. The immediate family members of the couple and Mrs. Adelaide Forde directed. In the afternoon, from 2:00 to 4:00, the newlyweds greeted friends who came in numbers to wish them well. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons now rcsiclt in Fort Worth and the bride is teaching in an elementary school.

At the national level, the First Anti-Basileus, Soror Isabelle M. Herson (fondly called "Izzy" by her friends) presided at some sessions during the Boule in Chicago in August 1968 and addressed the sisterhood. Mu Zeta's delegation in Chicago included Basileus, Soror Rebecca F. Netterville, official member of House of Delegates; Soror Amelia, J. Lewis, member of National Public Relations Committee and Public Relations Director for the Southern Region and local chapter; First Anti-Basilcus, Isabelle M. Herson; Soror Alma Holland served on one of the national committees. Soror Brenda Green, Basilcus of Beta Alpha Undergraduate Chapter of Southern University and two of its members also represented the Baton Rouge area. However enthusiastic and successful the entire year's program was projected, a sad note resounded as the Chapter was stricken with the loss of a most active, resourceful and outstanding member, Soror Grace S. Jackson, who played an important role in the program of Zeta. Her representation and presence has already been missed. But, like the masterpieces of Chopin, Bach and others, there burst musical strains which arc expressive of a beautiful dream; and, here Mu Zeta feels the vibrations of such strains through its new and unusual achievements, one of which is its purchase of real estate for $11,000 cash in a highly desirable location for the building of a Zeta House to be designed and contracted for within the immediate future. Mu Zeta feels this to he its supreme achievement of the year; however, we arc just proud that in this same year we have purchased a Life Membership in NAACP; donated $1,000 to Blunden Horne, our local orphanage; contributed $100 lo the YWCA and a like amount to the Community Association for the Welfare of School Children and paid $90 for the expense of two girls to Bayou Gi1·1~· State.

Bc slleus and Soror Rebecca F. Netterville (wife of Brother G. Leon Nel!crville, Jr., recently appointed to Presidency of the Southern University System) was recently honored by Mu Zeto Chapter at a "Holiday Delight." Soror Netter.ille hos served Mu Zeto as Bosileu, for several years and has given guidance to many outstanding activities. and achievements. Mu Zeto', supreme accomplishment for this year ho, been the purchase of real estate ($11,000) for the future building of a Zeto House.

J. Thou Shalt Love People ... Not just use them. The greatest thing in the world is a person. The greatest thing about a person is his motive, and the greatest motive is love. 2. Thou Shalt Develop Understanding ... 1f every man's care were written on his brow, how many would our pity share, who bear our envy now? 3. Thou Shalt Compliment More Than Criticize ... You had better cover your neighbor's faults with a cloak of charity. You may need a circus tent to cover your own! 4. Thou Shalt Not Get Angry ... 1f you are right, you don't need to. If you are wrong, you can't afford to. 5. Thou Shalt Not Argue ... It's no use to win the argument and lose the people. Beware of the attitude which says: 1 n matters, controversial, my attitude is fine. I always see two points of view the one that's wrong and mine. 6. Thou Shalt Be Kind ... You had better be kind to the people you meet on the way up; they are the same ones you meet on the way down. 7. Thou Shalt Have a Sense of Humor ... A sense of humor is to a man what springs are to a wagon ... it saves him a lot of jolts. 8. Thou Shalt Smile ... No man is every fully dressed until he has a smile on his face ... remember, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep a lune." 9. Thou Shalt Practice What Thou Preachest ... One example is worth one thousand arguments and finally 10. Thou Shalt Go to School to the Headmaster of the Universe, the Master of Men, the Secretary of Human Relations ... namely, Jesus Christ. He is the greatest leader of men the world has ever known ... the personification of the ultimate in human relations.

CHAPTER CHARTER MEMBER HONORED

A Tribute to Soror Henrietta B. Foster

Chi Zeta Chapter - Oklahoma City, Okla.

On Behalf of Chi Zeta Chapter, Oklahoma City, Okla. by Soror Clara McFall As we think of the numerous successes and honors that have been hers, we realize they were not easy to attain but they were worth trying for. To have enjoyed such a fruitful career she must have had a strong, forceful power to sustain her. It was the IO rules for living, edited by Dr. Willard E. Givens. These she lived by. May they be a tribute to her and an inspiration to us. They read: L Keep skid chains on your tongue. Always say less than you think. 2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully no matter what it costs you. 3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. 4. Be interested in others - interested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes, and their families. Make merry with those who rejoice and mourn with those who weep. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance. 5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and disappointments under a pleasant smile. 7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves and reufsc to talk or another's vices. Discourage gossip. Make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. 8. Be careful of others' feelings. Wit and humor at the other fellow's expense arc rarely worth the effort and may hurt where least expected. 9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you; simply live so that nobody will believe them. 10. Don't be too anxious about getting your just dues. Do your work. be patient, keep your disposition sweet, forget self, and you will be respected and rewarded.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority honors one of its local charter members, Soror Henrietta Beasley Foster, on her retirement from the Oklahoma City Public Schools, after serving as teacher and librarian the past years.

Soror Foster served as the group's first Basilcus when it was organized December 12, 1936.

The Oath In Litany

QUO VADIS By SOROR ALBERTA ALSTON

In the troubled world of today it is imperative to look within one's self; to search out what one has been, is now, and can be. This is necessary for each individual and, to a great degree, for organizations. In a sisterhood such as ours, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, this process of self-study and evaluation must be a continuous one. Our mutual Jove and respect for each other as well as the image which others see can be enhanced or marred by what we demonstrate in terms of attitudes, deeds, and actions. Some simple guidelines which can be applied by each Zeta, or local chapter, or by sorors all over the world may be helpful in measuring the effectiveness of our impact on each other and on the world around us.

Leader: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is a service organization comprised of women with similar ideals and aspirations. Group: I hereby pledge myself to be loyal to every rule and regulation of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Leader: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has as its ideal, Finer Womanhood. Group: I will conduct myself at all times in such a manner as will not bring reproach upon my sisters. Leader: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority fosters Sisterly Love. Group: Should I be guilty of wrong doing, unconsciously I will willingly accept any corrections given me by my sisters.

The key word for the first guideline is concern. As Zetas, we may express it as sisterly love. Our concern must be not only for ourselves, but for the members of our families, the people in our communities and their needs, and for the world in which we live. Our concern enables us, or better still, compels us to seek out others, to support and understand them, to respect them, to aid or be aided by them. It makes us aware!

Leader: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority encourages service and the use of personal talents for the promotion of human dignity. Group: I will strive at all times to exhibit my high ideals of culture, to put forth zeal for those things which stand for righteousness, and hold within my heart a love which will unite us as one.

Another guideline has to do with conviction. We arc surrounded by many situations about which no one seems willing to do anything. In some instances, no one wants to take a stand. We decry some of the conditions around us and claim that we care, but are reluctant to define our own convictions about people and things. In the process of self-evaluation the need for a strong sense of conviction looms largely.

All:

God grant that we may ever have that spirit of democracy for all fellowmen and keep thisoath before us daily. Arranged by SOROR ISABEL M. HERSON Mu Zeta Chapter Baton Rouge, La. (1969)

When we arc pledged as Zetas, we take an oath which commits to upholding the ideals of the sorority. As this commitment is examined it is obvious that its effect can and should be far-reaching. The implementation of the words or our pledge offers limitless opportunities for dedicated effort in fostering good human rclati ns. ln areas of religion, employment, education, social living, and in all other aspects of life one must have a deep commitment and dedication to the job of working with the tasks at hand, to meeting challenges and to bringing endeavors to successful fruition. Courage is an admirable trait and without it none of the three previously mentioned car: survive._ With courage, it. is possible 10 blaze new t_r~ils, even_ m u~popu lur causes. It is possible to participate actively m the struggle for human and civil rights, ?quality of ?Pportunity for all people. It helps to alleviate the feeling that we live in hopeless limes, and inspires us as we work toward the emergence of a new and better world. As we look into the mirror of the future, let us consider the importance of our role in shaping it; realizing that us we develop into more mature and secure individuals, we shall be able to cope with all kinds of situations as they confront tis. 33

UNIVERSITY Student Affairs

Athens, Ohio 4570 I Dear Editor: The opportunities open to students for graduate study have seldom been greater. One must know, however, where these opportunities exist. For this reason we are asking Greek letter organizations to announce the residence hall positions at Ohio University. The response from such announcements has been very gratifying in the past. Many of the people who have enrolled in our program have first heard about Ohio University through fraternity or sorority publications. Would you please include in your next issue the following announcement: Residence hall positions are available at Ohio University to persons interested in pursuing careers in student personnel, guidance and counseling, community service, human relations, education, psychology, and administration, as well as in all other academic areas. The salary range for full-time staff is $4,000 - $7,000, depending upon educational and work experiences, plus full maintenance included for some positions. Half-time graduate assistant psitions carry a stipend of $2,200 the first year, plus waiver of registration fees. Some po itions al o provide room and bard fr the staff member and his family.

affording the Greeks opportunities unlimited. Instead of_ one group going into a community and doing some~hmg, I strongly suggest all Greeks on the campus pitch 111_ and he!P· It doesn't take away from any one group; this working together is imperative when we think in terms of roles. Recentl_y the National Council of Negro Women, Philadelphia Chapter, had their Project Women Power. l~v1te~ were several black leaders of the community. L1ste111~g to the panel discussions and the reporting back of_ other panels which were impossible to attend, the subject that came before the group assembled was ~he need for volunteers. Volunteers who would go out mto the community and help our youth. Mr. Charles Wells, Directors of Employment Services for the Urban League, Philadelphia Branch, said, "The greatest concern confronting the Urban League was how to get ?ur young black women to dress properly when seekmg employment." He also told us the Urban League has a program designed for just this purpose, but they need volunteers. They preferred younger women, college students who would not be so far removed from th_esc young women and who could readily identify. Right away I thought about the tremendous number of commuting Sorority girls in our area who could help. It doesn't mater what their affiliation, the greatest factor would be helping where it is needed. What greater role can we play? We need to volunteer our services to groups other than the so-called Black groups. Since service is one o( our ideals, we need to serve all mankind. We, the youth, arc the key to social harmony. We can work closely with the Y.W.C.A., the Job Corps, the Red Cross, hospitals, homes for the aged and countless other agencies. Showing the community at large we do care, we arc actively involved, we do have faith in this Great Society. This is a wonderful way to enact our roles and enhance our image. We were founded to give service gladly, freely and continuously. We have been crying out for respect, dig~1ty, the right to live with our white counterparts; this 1s_whcrc our training is going to a-id us, and we in turn will help others. It is up to us to bridge the gap between the learned and the unlearned, the haves and have-nots .. We must help one another. How can we do this? Expose the youth in the community to worthwhile projects ~y working ardently with them o they too can striv~ for something better. Instead of u ing our financial resources on the campus for so many social affairs, let us use this money where it is sorely needed. Contributing to the various youth groups, taking out memberships in our civil rights organizations, buying needed equipment for recreational projects. Our roles as Undergraduates on the campus are unlimited. lf we are really earnest in wanting to know what our roles are, we must examine ourselves. Have we really looked at our programs, do they meet the demands of today? We have stated goals and stated objectives, but are we really realizing these goals and objectives? Have we been livmg up to our beautiful standards? Standards which go beyond the pride of belonging to· the organization, but the standards that were formulated to reach and touch other lives. We have been sett Ii ng for less. We cannot survive as entities unto ourselves. We must show the Administrations and Student Bodies at large that we can work together, we will work together, we MUST work together. Let them know and realize that we are a select group of young women, concerned about one another, that we are our brother's keeper and that we know each group reflects upon the other as far as the image of Greekdom is concerned. If we can address ourselves to these points, our worth will surely be recognized and appreciated by all. More important, we will be the grcatc t force on any campus!

Third Anti-Basileus Panelist for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority at Undergraduate Day, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, National Convention at Dallas, Texas, 1968, Dallas• Sheraton Hotel

Th» Ihulorgraduo:» Looks at Sororities in Relationship lo Their Roles On the College Campus ~cccntly Henry Steele Cornmagcr, the noted hist~man, spoke very negatively of fraternities and sororities. He said of them "that they mirrored the anachronisms and inequities of every-day life." This statement should certainly serve as a challenge to those of us who feel Greckdom has much good to offer its members. If indeed we have been guilty of snobbishness in our selection of members, silly in our activities, then we need to revamp our programs. We n?cd to make it very clear that our emphasis is on Service to our youth and our communities. Our undergraduates must focus on scholarship and cultural development. Since there is strength in unity, I feel that we can best accomplish this goal by working together, in harmony with one another, for each Greek letter organization has something to offer the other. The Founders of our several Sororities had the imagination, foresight, even genius to found our organizations whose worth of conception guaranteed their survival, growth and development. If we were to examine the phi losophics of each Sorority represented, we would find service a most integral part. Every young woman wearing the cherished pin and colors of her chosen organization has a charge to keep. She must always hide in her heart that image set forth for her by her Founders. An image that denotes Leadership, Exemplary Deportment, and an awareness of the needs of others. Our role as sororities is to make real and significant contributions to the college community, extending ourselves abofc and beyond our own chapter progress. We must involve ourselves in every activity, in every program set forth for us by the college. So often we concern ourselves with the "Partyology'' of college life, letting the academic and cultural phases lag. Sisters in Grcckdom, we must make our presence felt. Our generation has been called the most knowledgeable, the best informed, the most highly sophisticatcd group of young people the country has ever known, yet in many areas we do fall short. 1f we would examine the talents or our membership, the diversity and wealth of valuable material would be uncovered. Talents that can be used to dispel the subtle stereotypes accorded us. We do stand for something and something Just and good. Each group has a responsibility to respect the other group, be workers together on the campus, not work against one another. This, too, is one or our roles! So often our image is marred by the unfortunate activities we engage in, counting them so very important, thus giving the administrations clue cause to curtail so many of the Greek activities. We arc losing sight of our purpose. We arc the leaders, the ~ace - setters, striving for meaningful and productive lives. Collectively we could show the skeptics that we arc _cap,1ble of channeling our energies in the right directions. Our youthfulness is a key, a tool that we shou Id capita lizc upon. We arc fresh, vibrant, full of new ideas, strong enough and naive enough to think th,)l they will work. We must show we arc capable of bc111~ concerned about the troubled world around us ar~d. involve ourselves by actively participating, yet still willinu to w rk for academic excellence.
