Some will nol be with ns for u noth 'r Boule Lenn, and il is with reluctance that w<• lose th 'Ill. aturully, we feel that each and everyone of them is worthy of praise for having the attributes of true sisterhood and a keen sense of responsibility.

A Message from the Grand Basileus:

Uhe Zeta VriaJ By DEBOUAH CANNON PAUTRIDGE, Ph.D. Grand Basilcus

In the Preamble of our Constiution three major purposes of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority are given: 1. Furthering the cause 0£ education by encouraging the highest standards of scholarship among college women. 2. Uplifting worthwhile projects on college campuses and within communities in which we may be located. 3. Furthering the spirit of sisterly love and promoting the ideals of finer womanhood. These three become tho Zeta Triad - Scholarship, Service, and Sisterhood through Finer Womanhood. What powerful words these are! What do they mean? Scholarship implies love of knowledge. It also indicates search for truth and truth is the pathway to freedom. The Master said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth ·hall make ye free." The true scientist has long realized that our scientific methods of research lead only to facts upon which now understandings may be built and upon which new facts may be discovered. The ultimate truth is God for only Ile is omniscient. And so we arc warned if Wt3 are to be real scholars, real searchers for the truth, we must get understanding as well as knowledge. Knowledge void of understanding will not lead to wisdom. Hence Zeta's emphasis on scholarship demands: First, a search for truth, employing scientific methodology. Second, objective attitude, which recognizes the eph moral nature of man-discovered truths. Third, reflective thinking, which utilizes inductive and deductive reasoning. Fourth, flexibility, which demands acceptance of newly discovered facts. And finally, humility, which admits that only God is omniscient. Such scholarship will lead lo real wisdom for it will prompt an investigation into the nature of man and his environment and man's relation to God. Service. What good is gold if it lay in the ground undiscovered? What good is knowledge if it isn't used in the service of mankind? Thus the second word of our Triad - Service - stimulates action. Selfccntcrcdness is dangerous. ln individuals we call it q~o-centricily and psychiatrists work diligently with those who thus suffer. When groups are thus affected we refer to them as chauvinistic and we utilize all of our social invcnl ivcnoss lo destroy it. Therefore, if Zeta is to grow in its cllcctivcncss it must recognize its social responsibility. 1 n such a way tlw unlimited intellectual resources of n privileged group of college trained women may be employed. Both of om nul1011al projects Prr-vcnno» and Control of Juvenile DelinquC'ncy and La Cheerio - arc motivated by this goal. One of om major affiliations, the American Connc ii on Humnu Highls, has as its stated purpose the TIIE AHCIIO -APIU L, 19.5,'5

service of mankind. It was "founded to secure the extension of fundamental human and civil rights to all citizens within the United States and to contribute to the promotion of these rights for all peoples throughout the world." This is consistent with the command of the Savior when he said, "He that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it." Service is rewarding to the server as well as to the served. Sisterhood. The basic emotional content of this word is LOVE. Certainly, the words of Christina Rossetti express this thought when she says: There is no friend like a sister In calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, To fetch one if one goes astray, To lift one if one totters down, To strengthen whilst one stands. A sisterhood without love would be as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. "Love suffereth long and is kind. Love envieth not. ... Love thinketh no evil." This must be our spirit. We must understand and forgive. If there is ugliness and selfishness and deceit at the core we will destroy our sorority; but love ovcrcorneth all. Only through such love can real unity be built. Without that unity there can be no real service. Without that spirit of service there is no Fine Womanhood. Let's pledge anew to this, our Triad: Scholarship which enlightens: Service which extends; and Sisterly love which unites. -Z<t>B-

Final Message of the Retiring Grand Basileus

By NANCY BULLOCK WOOLRIDGE (At the 30th National Boule, Louisvill , Ky., Dec, 28, 1954) No man is an llaiu! intire of itsel]«; et·ery man is ,1 peeCI' of the Continent, a /iarl of tbe m aine ; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Eurobe is the lessc, as well as if 11 Promot orie were, as well as if a M111111or of thy [ricud: or thine ou/nc u/ere; fll/ )' utan's death diminishes 111r, because I am. in1,,olt•ed i11 Manki11dc; A11d therefore nc ucr scud to know for whom I he bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Devotions XVII

Jo11 DoNNE (1573-1631) Thirty-five years ago today five college girls at Howard University must have been in a state of tension and expectancy. They had made a significant decision - that of launching "a new Mayflower" which could "steer boldly into the desperate winter sea" of Greekdom and the surrounding academic world. They knew that they had become the cynosure of critical eyes and they dared to stake their social and academic reputation upon the faith they had placed in an ideal. The world in which these five co-eels had to test their faith and build their hopes was a world of the "gay twenties." Like ours today it was a postwar world, where the young had become hardened and sophisticated, where the "dough boy" and "flapper" desperately pitted themselves against social insecurity and economic uncertainty by indulging in the antics of "flaming youth." It was a world totally inhospitable to the easy growth of an organization dedicated to ideals of finer womanhood and high scholarship. Yet that year and every year for thirty-five years, young women all over America have made the decision to become a part of a sisterhood thus conceived and thus dedicated. One day when you were a freshman or sophomore in college, or at some other vital period in your IHe, you made a decision and submitted to sacred vows as evidence of your loyalty and seriousness of purpose. You made a decision which you could never reverse. And, like many other decisions which have gt1idecl your life through the years, this decision has co11Li1111ecl to color and control many of your activities lo this day. Today is again a time for decisions firm and strong. Like those live girls at Howard thirty-five years ago, you and I must make individual and group decisions that will affect om lives as sorors to Llw encl of ow clays. Like those Five young women, we must think seriously and deeply, we must think objectively and intelligently, if the future of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is lo be secured. These· are times that try our souls as we face a society that is competitive and materialistic, mechanistic and technolouica I. I ts demands arc slroPg and insistent. l 11 order lo meet thew demands you and [ need to do 111on• than med and discuss problems. Today we· art' met in a Bouh• whose theme is "Youth and tlw Challcnuo of Integration," a concept that lends itsolf to multifarious interpretation. "Iutogration" may retcr to 1111ity ill pcrsonulity and oneness within a group as we'll as to racial interaction. l Iarry Emerson Fosdick points 011t that in order to be a mature person or a real person, then- 11111sl Ix- a syn PAGE SIX

thesis of the many conflicting "selves" within us. "Fully matured personality," he says "is the most significant form of integration, the highest and completest of all wholes, and to achiev it is as difficult as it is significant." At thirty-five years of age, Zeta Phi Bela as a national organization is fully ·rnalurc, accepting the responsibilities and obligations inherent in her corning of age. She must lay aside her girlish ways, her growing pains and her clay dreaming, and come to grips with the facts of life. No whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The parts of Z eta arc chapters composed of Sorors, Thus Zeta Phi Beta can make no greater contribution to this critical world, uor perform no greater service than that which you and I as individual sorors perform. To the extent that you and l arc apathetic, to the degree that you and l arc selfish, sensitive and weak, Zeta falls short of the standards of today. In the brittle socio-economic world of today, in the competitive Greek world, in the academic world, what arc the demands which Zeta must meet successf u I ly for survival? First, Zeta must grow in quantity as well as in quality on the college campus. This ~orority, like others, was organized by undergraduates on a college campus. It must expand its program on Lhe college and university scene'. IL must exhibit leadership and develop activilies that can be respected and applm1clcd in collegiate circles and academic groups. It must count in its membership young women who~e minds are keen, whose talenls are gr{'at rmcl whose personalities and characters are admirable. To this cml cvNy effort of Lhc organization now crnght lo he directed. Second, grad11ale chapters nec·d to c•valuate their individual 11rograms in terms or internal strength and l'l\ternal relationships. Too often the sorors arc tlwir own worst cnC'mil'S. Their personality clashes dissipate' Llwir energies and rnake them unattractive to the younger, more recc•nt graduates who haVC' yel to become integrated into the chaptel'. ln these thirly-five years many chaplers are thirty, twenty or Len yenrs old. The leadc•rship of these cliaplers should now hl' in tlw hands of sorors who came inlo tlw group from a campus chapter. Third, Zeta Phi lkt,t as a national organization must contilllH' to participate' actively in Lh • doings of the 11atio11al CreC'k world and in tlw formation of national policy /or C'd11catio11al and social sC'n ices thruout the mtlion.

Zeta Expansion By LULLELIA W. HARRISON Executive Secretary Thirty-five years have seen Zeta grow from five courageous women at Boward University in 1920 to nearly four thousand women of culture, training, prestigc and high ideals. Zeta has reached maturity in the formation of a sisterhood; her security for years to come is reasonably assured; and now she seeks ways of expanding her program and spreading her influence in new territories. Since the constitution has no restriction in regard to race, creed, or color, the pattern of integration can easily be adopted. However, it should be remembered that the integration of mern bership should be done on LULLELIA the v cry highcst lcv~l amfl zther,c W. IIAURISON should1 1JC no re1 ~xation etas Executive Secretary standards at any time. lt is ad visa blc that other sources of integration he explored as rapidly as possible in your community. Study the working areas which arc closed to wo_i-i:en because of race, and then attempt to get qualified women who will apply for the jobs. Don't accept defeat, but rather be persistent in your efforts. Sc, the cooperation of other organizations in such an effort. Review the committees appointed by the officials of the city lo be sure all groups and segments are represented. Where they arc not, tactful)y call attention to the fact and insist that somcthmg be done about it. Always bear in mind that a qualifi?d representative must be available for recommendation when such issues arise. Jt is certainly not necessary that such person be a Zeta sorer. The chapters must show a concern about the welfare of all the children in the community. Include some Latin-Americans, a [cwish group, or some other distinctive group in the Blue Revue, Use F. W. speakr-rs of the other nationalities, and give some type of re-cognition lo others who have contributed in the field of human relations. The national reclamation program is our best source of chapter expansion. Many sorors arc "floating" in areas wher(' there arc no chapters but where there arc potential Zetas. Any soror knowing the whereabouts of a "floating'' sorer should give the information to the local chapter or send it directly to the regional director. One sorer reclaimed in a graduutc chapter often proves of more value than the initiation of several new persons. On the unclcrgruduate level thcr« is need for eonccrted cflort to build stronger cam pus chapters and to organize in colleges where lhn<' arc no chapters. These things may lH' considered for strcngthe11ing this pat t of the program:

l. Carefully chosen sponsor who is cntliusiastic, knows Zeta, and is willing to make the sacrifice in time and finance. The lack or either of these qualifications Tl II~ AHCllO -APIHL, 1~)5F>

in the sponsor can cripple the chapter. 2. More interest shown by the graduates in the community. Both their presence and their money arc vital to the security of campus chapters. 3. Indoctrination of high school girls before they graduate and then a "follow up" when they are enrolled in college. 4. Careful screening of applicants and informative probation periods with more emphasis on Zeta ideals than on frivolity. 5. A concerted effort on the part of all chapters lo encourage young women to become Zetas on the undergraduate level, preferably before the senior year. Less emphasis should be placed on initiation of graduate members and the requirements of graduate candidatos should be more rigid.

VIRGINIA AND D.C. ZETAS HOLD STATE MEETING Roanoke, Va. - The second annual state meeting

of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., was held at the Orange Avenue YWCA Saturday, March 26. The theme for the meeting was "Zeta Faces the Crisis." Sorors from Washington, D. C., Beckley, W.

BROOKLYN ZETAS HONOR NEWSPAPER HEAD Brooklyn, N. Y.-Delta Alpha Zeta, Omicron Beta and the Amicao chapters held their fifth annual pmgram in celebration of Finer Womanhood Weck on Sunday afternoon, Febuary 27th, at the Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn. The pastor of tho church, Reverend Hobert Johnson, rendered the invocation for the affair. \1iss Mary IIelen Harden, professor of speech at Long Island University, a director of a speech clinic there, served as guest speaker for the occasion. In her address on the "Problems of Effective Vocal Communi-

cation," Mrs, Harden stressed the importance of par{ ntal ICJve and affection as a factor in the prevention and cure of many speech disorders among children. The highlight of the afternoon was the prcseut.irion of Mrs. Daphne Sheppard, Brooklyn manager cf the A111st -rdam News office, as woman of the year. A thumbnail sketch of Mrs: Sheppard's background and achievements was given by Sorer Lou Schwarz L11tour, of Delta Alpha Zeta Chapter.

Zeta Amicaes Have High Ideals The members of Zeta Amicae are women who have watched through the years with admiration, the work and activities of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. They hav a membership of 2,5 with a waiting list for replacement. Our objectives are similar to those of the sorority: fostering the ideals of Sisterhood, Service and Finer Womanhood, Tl ey are now entering their fourth year. During this time they have contributed to many worthwhile projects-to underprivileged families, the industrial school, handicapped children, financial gifts, [lowers and special remembrances to the bereaved. We enjoy the fellowship which our meetings afContinued on page 31

'A TIME FOR DECISION' Continu cl from page 6 and sincere love for the sorority need to be combine cl with dynamic leadership qualities, with great vision and with wide contacts outside the orgamzation, if the sorority is to move forward successfully in the challcngi11g decade we arc now cnt ring. If prospective sorors arc to be attracted to us, if w' arc to mer-t critical competition, and if we are to make a contribution to this world of fear and tension, we must face these issues intelligently, honestly and frankly. Obviously the Greek letter sorority in these clays has been forced to re-define its position. Forcefulness of action, earnestn ss of purpose, broadness of view characterize the new Greek in th , new world of lodav. Cooperation between thcs organizations is th ' C:1vored theme today and cooperation invites comparison. Our sisterhood must never be placed in an 1111tenable position through any default or def ct ion on your part or mine. When in 1948 you honored me by ,1 •cling me lo the leadership of this, my beloved sorority, I rccognized many of the problems which I have implied earlier in this discussion. Paramount am o 11 g th" thoughts of Zeta that filled my vision at that time were the broad aims and goals which l consider cl imperative for the national program: 1. Zeta nc xlcd to establish a firm and respected position among its peers on the national scene. 2. Zeta needed clear planning and cfl'icicnt administrative machinery for more effective scrvice to its m mbership, ,'3. Zeta needed to develop a deeper rapport witl in its own membership, with the Greek world, and with its several publics. 4. Zeta needed to stress national projects and programs that would identify its conlribut iou to this community and the nation. 5. Zeta needed a more firm economic and financial bas', and a ·larif ication and stabilization of its legal status. It would be too tedious to document these aims by pointing out our specific efforts in these directions during th' past six years. Each of you can clo this for yourself, weighing all of us in the balance's. However it has been gratifying to note that in several of these areas, cllorts h,n c been surprisinuly successful. For instance, it is generally agreed among our associates that the first ai 111 stated has lx-en largely ach ic'\ ,,i] through continued activ e representation and participation in the national affairs of the Creek academic and educational world. In the olhl'r areus, , arying dq.!;rC'l'S of success have been gaiuccl as reports of 011r offil'ers will reveal.

Soror Violette N. Anderson Past Grand Basileus BY ANN A MAE FRAZIER Violette N. Anderson was born in London, England, and educated in the United States. Sh' graduated from the High School, Seminary of Sciences and Law School of Chicago, Jll. Sorer Anderson was the wife of Dr. Albert E. Johnson, a druggist i:1 Chicago. Sorer Anderson was associate d with everything that stood for finer womanhood. She was dearly loved and her unselfish spirit will never die in the hearts of the sorors who are left behind to carry 011 in the name of Zeta. She was an active woman, and the numerous civic and fraternal organizations she was connected with arc as follows: Legal Advisor of Northern District of Chicago; president of the Big Sisters' League of Chicago; ex-first vice-president of Cook County Bar Association; member of Executive Board of Council of Social Agencies; officer of Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; secretary National Pan-Hellenic Council; Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Zeta Zeta chapter; secretary of the Idlewild Lot Owners Association. Soror Anderson was outstanding in all her connections. She had the distinction of being the first colored woman admitted to practice in the state of Illinois on examination and first colored woman admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. It was through the cff orts of Soror Anderson that the ational Recreational Project was inaugurated. This project was conducted in Coatesville, Pa. During her four years as Grand Basileus, she was imbued with that "Old Zeta Spirit," that of leading our sorority onward, onward toward the heights of Crcckdorn. But as she so often stated, "Every step was sweet with service." Sorer Anderson left us December 27, 1937. BIRCH HA VEN was lwq ncathcd to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority by our sorer and bears her name, "Violette's Birch Haven." It was her summer resort cottage and is located in Idlcwild, \1ichigan. The cottage is surrounded by many birch trees. The five-room cottage was built mostly by 011r soror. Jt is so situated that one gets a wonderful view of the lake from the front porch. There arc two lovely bedrooms, living room with dining alcove, nice' roomy kitchen, plenty of closet space and bath. Birch J Iaven was very dear to Sorer Anderson as here is when' she was married. The cottage is painted white and bordered in blue (our colors).

PRICELESS PEARLS (An Archonian Poem)

By Soror Jean M. Johnson, Beta Beta Chapter A. M. & N. College, Pinc Bluff, Arkansas A diamond is beautiful, precious and rare; I\ ruby is likewise n pretty thing to wear; But give mo a pearl lo offset my attire; For in it l see many things to admire.

The Hrst and most important thi11g it brings lo mind, Is the hirthdny of Zctn and the "founders five". Thost- zealous women who saw the light, Gave birth lo a sorority unmatched in might; For by itself it is like a wingless bird Not might in the muscular senxc of thC' word, That Ilils and flutters and gets no where, And its life becomes void, empty aucl hare. Hut stn·nglh and beauty seen i11 a pearl, That maintains its position anywhere in tlu- world. It needs 110 shining and polishing lo look good, That other jr-wr-ls 11111st have lo hide the years IIH') have stood; A11cl 011r Founders .tr(' likl'nccl unto this peal'!, \'\/ho maintain their own no mallC'r where hurlt•cl; \V\wthcr it b(· tlH' North.
