The 2002-04 International Executive Board was installed during Convention 2002 in Tucson, Ariz., in June. Following are remarks from incoming International President Crista Cate Vasina (D -Northern Colorado) during her inaugural speech.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be your president. That is one of the greatest gifts of this organization: Alpha Phi offers women opportunities beyond their own dreams. I’ll never forget the first time I walked through Northern Colorado (D ) chapter’s doors. I knew within the first few minutes it was the place for me. It wasn’t the furniture or the decorations; it was the women with whom I connected. Throughout my time at UNC, relationships and support from sisters began to Crista Cate Vasina shape my future. Alpha Phi gave me the opportunity to grow as a leader. I learned from those who preceded me and those with whom I had the privilege to serve. But even then, I had no idea the depth of support Alpha Phi had to offer. As an organization, Alpha Phi is continuously changing to remain current in our fast-paced world. What has not changed is Alpha Phi’s purpose, set forth by our Founders: the promotion of growth in character, unity of feeling, sisterly affection and social communion. Alpha Phi is sisters banded together seeking the highest ideals of womanhood. It is women supporting each other in the pursuit of their dreams. It is a sister to turn to in good times and bad. It is a place to grow and a place to fail. Each of us has a story about Alpha Phi’s role in making us the women we are today. I believe we all have the responsibility to reach out to sisters and encourage them to take advantage of the opportunities our organization offers, just as Alpha Phis from our past encouraged and mentored us. My chapter adviser, Ann Sierlecki Lacefield (D -Northern Colorado), steered me toward a path of leadership within my chapter. It was her faith and support in me that opened doors to the benefits I have received from Alpha Phi. We, your 2002-04 IEB, serve today in part because of the Alpha Phi sisters who encouraged us. We are very proud to have the opportunity to lead the Fraternity and are committed to work together to continue to strengthen our organization. I look forward to learning, growing, debating and laughing with this very talented group of women. Each of us brings our own unique perspective to the IEB and collectively, I’m confident we can represent you, our members. We are fortunate that the leaders before us looked to the future and set forth a positive direction. The 2000-02 IEB worked diligently to strengthen and improve our organization, as did those who came before them. We thank them. Our Board is fortunate to work with a wonderful Foundation Board of Directors and partner with a fantastic Executive Office staff. On behalf of the 2002-04 IEB, thank you for the trust you place in us. Betty Mullins Jones ( -DePauw), 1970-74 International President and long-time NPC delegate, charged all Alpha Phis “to be the custodians and guardians of all that has preceded you … more than this, you must improve and advance Alpha Phi.” We are committed, with your support, to be the custodians and visionaries necessary to move Alpha Phi into the future.

Timeless Tradition, Contemporary Vision: Remembering the Heritage of Alpha Phi Alpha Phi’s history dates back 130 years — the fourth women’s organization to be established in what had been a male-only fraternal world. In fact, the reason Alpha Phi is a fraternity rather than sorority is the term “sorority” did not exist yet in 1872. It Syracuse (A) 1908 was not created until a decade later. In an effort to capture this classic and legendary aspect of Alpha Phi’s heritage while simultaneously portraying the forwardthinking proactivity of the organization and its members, Alpha Phi International embarked on an image campaign. The Fraternity’s new tagline, Timeless Tradition. Contemporary Vision. Always Alpha Phi, and logo were introduced in the Winter 2002 Quarterly (view the story online at www.alphaphi.org/ alpha_phi_library/recentissues_public.html). The goal of the new image, in addition to conveying a consistent look and message for all Alpha Phi communications, is to remember our past while looking forward to lead and excel today and into the future. Throughout this issue, we reflect on the heritage that led us to the position we are in today, an international fraternity boasting 143 collegiate chapters, 150 alumnae chapters, 152,041 members and a Foundation that provided $635,000 in charitable gifts last year. Since our Founders’ original vision, Alpha Phi and her members have been forward-thinking in every era. From the Original Ten and first Alumna Initiate Frances E. Willard, Alpha Phis have always been visionaries (visit www.alphaphi.org/ about_alpha_phi/famousphis.html to read about our Founders, Frances E. Willard and other alumnae of distinction). This Quarterly is a tribute to those Alpha Phis who preceeded us and to those who have yet to join. Recruitment Then and Now Recruitment was an “informal” process during Alpha Phi’s first years in the sense that no uniform recruitment practices and standards were observed until 1902 with the creation of the first

The Alpha Phi Foundation plays a larger role in recruitment today. Most collegiate chapters incorporate a philanthropy event/party during recruitment activities. To assist chapters with successful philanthropy recruitment, the Foundation collaborated with the Fraternity to create a new philanthropy recruitment brochure, Ideas from the Heart.

interfraternity association and the first intergroup organization on college campuses - what today is known as the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). There were no set guidelines for recruitment and pledging an organization: women could be pledged to groups before enrolling in college and could even belong to more than one group. NPC established the recruitment guidelines we know today; many established at their first meeting are still in practice today. The recruitment process of bids and pledging emerged during the 1920s, and Greek life experienced heightened popularity from the 1920s to 1960s, with the exception of the World War II era. The golden age for the Greek system was realized during the 1950s when membership reached record highs. By this time, the system of formal recruitment similar to today’s had been established, including a formal recruitment week held at the beginning of the school year. Recruitment dropped significantly in 1971, partially the result of the counter-culture movements of the 1960s. At the end of the 1970s, the number of students going through formal recruitment increased again, with another significant boom in the early 1990s. Recruitment terminology remained virtually the same until the 1990s when NPC implemented new terms to present a more professional impression to those outside the Greek world. Recruitment replaced the term “rush,” a “pledge” is now a new member, “rushees” are now potential members and “bid cards” are formal membership recruitment acceptance forms. (Visit the National Panhellenic Conference Web site at www.npcwomen.org for more information.) Recruitment trends have evolved with time, but its principles remain the same. The process has always been based on the premise of “wowing” potential members with conversation and friendship. And the same qualities are sought in sisters today as in 1872.

Alpha Phi Foundation Then and Now Alpha Phi Foundation, founded in 1956, is one of the oldest Greek foundations for women. Today, it’s also one of the top women’s foundations. In celebration of its 46 years of growth and success, here’s a look at the way things were … and the way they are today.

Today, it’s a successful organization. Two priorities remain: to encourage and recognize superior scholarship and support women’s cardiac health. The Foundation also funds programs that provide leadership and educational opportunities, educate women about philanthropy and assist members in need.

In the early days, Directors of the Foundation The Fraternity and Foundation each have their own board of directors. In addition, also served as Fraternity officers. the IEB president serves on the Foundation’s board and the Foundation chairman attends IEB meetings. An executive director and a full-time, professional staff of three Alpha Phis fundraise, create publications and appeals, manage gifts and ethically handle all programs of the Foundation.

Honor, memorial, new arrival and Foundation “Wishing You Well” cards were introduced in 1985.

Alpha Phis can buy packages of honor, memorial and new arrival cards, or simply make donations of $15 or more to honor special events, friends or sisters. These gifts are also listed in the Annual Report of Donors.

In 1981, Upsilon chapter held a successful Cardiac Arrest fundraising event.

Today, chapters hold events in their communities that benefit the Foundation. This year chapter gifts total more than $325,000.

During the early 1980s, women complained about being addressed by their husband’s names in solicitations.

Today, Foundation directors include first and maiden names of alumnae in correspondence.

In 1982, the Foundation raised $132,107 from Alpha Phi members.

In 2002, the Foundation raised nearly $820,000 from members.

$10,000 in scholarships was awarded in 1976.

This year, $92,000 in scholarships was awarded.

The Forget-Me-Not Fund was established in 1979 to help aged and/or disabled members in need. Four years later, Emergency Aid, a collegiate assistance program, was established.

The Foundation continues to provide thousands of dollars each year to collegiate and alumnae sisters in need of emergency assistance.

In 1997, supporting the National Panhellenic Conference’s Year of the Scholar, the Foundation established its Professor of the Year Award.

The Foundation has awarded five outstanding educators the International Professor of the Year Award.

The Foundation received income of $23,449 in 1978.

In 2001, $1.2 million of income was received!

The History of the Alpha Phi Badge What would a sorority be without a sorority pin? Our Founders realized this, and at that first Fraternity meeting, Sept. 30, 1872, they appointed a committee of two to “find out as much as possible about pins and also select something for us.” By Oct. 18, a design had been selected and a dozen pins ordered at a cost of $5.00 each. The design settled upon was a monogram, “Alpha” superimposed on “Phi.” Alpha Phi was the first women’s fraternity to select a monogram badge, which came to characterize most women’s fraternities founded in the East. (Emblem pins for the most part came to characterize those groups founded in the Midwest or South.) The earliest Alpha Phi badges were cut in one piece of flat gold and unjeweled. Other early badges were set with turquoises to show our Fraternity colors, which were at the time blue and gold. No uniform design was determined so there was considerable style variation in the first few decades. Size, chasing and setting of jewels was left to individual taste, and a member commissioned her own jeweler to make her badge. Almost always, the letter “Phi” was placed horizontal to the “Alpha” in the revered Lazy Phi style. This design may have been intended to distinguish the Alpha Phi badge from a men’s fraternity badge familiar at the time. A small guard pin with the chapter letter was added by some. The 1894 Convention voted that the official badge have a chased “Phi” and a plain or jeweled “Alpha.” If jeweled, the national stone, which at the time was the ruby, should be used without a crown setting. Members seemed not to heed to this directive. One of the earliest bits of Fraternity lore which survives concerns Founders Louise Shepard Hancock (A-Syracuse) and Clara Sittser Williams (A-Syracuse), who were both reprimanded in chapter meeting for “giving or lending their badges to gentlemen.” This custom continued to prevail for decades. For many years, pins were worn according to each member’s fancy, at the neck, on a collar or at the bosom. Then in 1904,

Today’s standard design upgraded with a sapphire

President Genevra Gwynn Wiley (A-Syracuse) asked that a pin be worn solely as a badge over the heart. This became the custom which some chapters still use today — although it is just that, a custom, not a practice specified in the Fraternity Constitution. The traditional wearing of the badge was challenged in the late 1950s when Edith Huey Shelton (B-Northwestern), a tony woman from the fashionable Chicago North Shore and a member of the International Executive Board, mounted her badge on an imposing disc and wore it as a bangle bracelet. The thought was that this innovation would give alumnae an opportunity to display their badges when they had little other incentive to do so. Today, of course, the badge may be worn as a bracelet, as a ring, as a lavaliere — as one pleases. Then in 1971, in the midst of an anti-fraternity era, International President Betty Mullins Jones ( -DePauw) invited members to again wear their badges anywhere on their clothing as the early sisters did. What was most important about the badge, said Betty, was to wear it. As for the design of the badge, as charming as the unique Lazy Phi badges seem to us today, some critics fretted that they were overly decorative and frivolous, trivializing the dignified nature of the Fraternity. The standard badge we now wear was approved at the 1906 Convention. The die for the badge was The first Syracuse (A) members.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR BADGE? Your badge represents much more than a pin of gold. It represents so many Alpha Phi memories — your initiation, the day you pinned it on your little sister, Founders' Day events, graduation and so much more. To preserve all that your Alpha Phi badge means to you, it is important to plan for its future so it stays in the Alpha Phi family and doesn't turn up for sale by a non-Alpha Phi collector. Our Alpha Phi badges "belong" to us in a special way. The Fraternity Constitution stipulates that a badge remain in the possession of a member in good standing for her lifetime. But after death, ownership reverts to the Fraternity. Exceptions are if the family of the deceased member desires to keep it or if it is given to the member's collegiate chapter or to another Alpha Phi sister. Please help preserve your Alpha Phi memories by planning for your badge's future. Members are encouraged to report stolen badges to local police. It is also recommended that Alpha Phis either provide in their wills or tag badges with instructions regarding their eventual disposition.

completed in 1908. A plain badge was approved for wear by collegians and one with white jewels for alumnae and collegiate dress wear. Former Fraternity Trustee Ruth Himmelman Wright ( Washington) recalls that a major issue among collegians at the 1946 Convention was obtaining permission to wear the jeweled badge in the daytime rather than restricting it to evening dresses. Permission was granted. So many were entranced by the antique Lazy Phi badge when displayed that members were given an opportunity in the early 1960s to readopt the old style. The proposal was voted on in Convention and rejected, however. Collegians, especially, preferred to use the antique style solely as an honor badge, which is the current practice.

Convention 2002: Tucson Sun Shines on Alpha Phi More than 500 Alpha Phis and guests gathered under the welcoming Tucson, Ariz., sun June 26-30 for the Fraternity’s 64th Biennial Convention. The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa, an award-winning resort surrounded by breathtaking desert and mountain scenery, provided the perfect setting to relax, rediscover Alpha Phi, reunite with sisters and meet new friends from across North America. The four-day event focused on much more than just the business of the Fraternity, says Director of Training and Development Denise Jung Reens (E -Northern Illinois). “Each biennium, we try to incorporate innovative and exciting activities to attract more members, not just those alumnae and collegiate delegates who are required to attend.” She says a men’s golf outing for male guests, reunions of non-delegate alumnae and activities for families and children were all part of Convention 2002 (see sidebars). The Alpha Phi Foundation debuted its Move Your Phi’t 5K Heart Walk/Run, and special programs were held separately for chapter advisers, recruitment advisers and house corporation board members (see sidebars). Similarly to Conventions past, the event featured educational tracks for both alumnae and collegiate delegates and advisers, awards ceremonies (see page 10), Order of the Ivy reception for

Rush University 2002 June 28-30 marked the third installment of Rush University, an intensive training program for the Fraternity’s recruitment advisers. The agenda featured mock recruitment parties and included fundamental workshops on rushing strength, membership selection and year-round recruitment. New segments, chapter health and chapter identity, were added to assist recruitment advisers in determining the overall positioning of a chapter. Each adviser met with her region’s collegiate membership coordinator at the conclusion of the weekend, using the program’s teachings to create a plan for her chapter for the upcoming year. Nearly 50 advisers and the Fraternity’s educational leadership consultants received invaluable training from staff members Megan Bouché (E-Minnesota), Keri Miller (∆P-Ball State) and Linda Schnetzer (BOBowling Green State); Collegiate Membership Coordinators Laura Davidson (B∆-UCLA), Melissa Deere (ΘN-Appalachian State), Aileen Melick Fischer (∆H-Adrian), Kate Boyle Halfon (H∆-CSU/Hayward),

former and present traveling consultants, initiation, Candlelight Banquet and captivating keynote speakers and presenters. Move Your Phi’t Alpha Phis and guests fought off sleep to fight against women’s heart disease by participating in Alpha Phi Foundation’s first Move Your Phi’t 5K Walk/Run. Saturday’s 6 a.m. event raised more than $12,000 for the Foundation thanks to the 200 participants who either walked or ran the scenic course and the many people who donated to the Foundation in their name. Participants requested support in the form of pledges from friends, family and Alpha Phi sisters prior to the event. Each walker or runner received a Move Your Phi’t visor, donated by Foundation Board Member Alin Hernandez Wall (B -UCLA). Raising the most money for the Foundation through the event – each with more than $2,000 in donations – were alumnae Tricia Lee McNabb (B -San Jose State) and Suzanne Tenney (EQUC/Davis). Collegians Rachel Pfeiffenberger (

-St. Joseph’s) and Megan Green ( -UC/Berkeley) ran the course in less than 25 minutes to win the race. All four winners received subscriptions to Health magazine from the Foundation. Bishop’s (GV) collegians are credited with the idea for the Move Your Phi’t theme. Collegiate and alumnae chapters can easily adapt the Move Your Phi’t concept to use as a chapter fundraiser.

foundation HCB Seminar A very successful house corporation board (HCB) seminar was held on Sunday, June 30, following the completion of regular Convention programming. Thirty HCB volunteers and house directors (and even one collegiate member) representing more than 20 chapters enjoyed a jam-packed day of learning and sharing. Sessions included a discussion of the current Alpha Phi master insurance policy, trends in university housing, explanation of housing contracts, annual HCB presentation to the chapter, communicating with collegiate members, and dealing with house directors and other employees. It provided a great opportunity for HCB members to connect with other housing volunteers and to communicate best practices. In addition, a new HCB Manual was distributed to all attendees. Well-trained house corporation boards are a critical factor in Alpha Phi’s success. Significant positive feedback from seminar attendees demonstrates a desire to schedule additional housing seminars in the future. Facilitators for the seminar included DePauw (Γ) Chapter Adviser and MJ Insurance Representative Lisa Janes Ripley (∆P-Ball State), USC (BΠ) HCB President and IEB Member Lindsay Wiggins (BΠ-USC), CSU/Chico (ΘY) HCB President Julie Conkin Sportelli (BΠ-USC); San Jose State (BΨ) HCB President Suzanne Tenney (EP-UC/Davis), Cornell (∆) HCB President Jane Tanner (∆-Cornell) and EO Director of Training & Development Denise Jung Reens (E∆-Northern Illinois). The seminar was coordinated by EO Director of Finance Cathy Koessl (AΛ). For more information or to obtain an HCB Manual, contact Cathy Koessl at ckoessl@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8928.

Also during Convention 2002, Foundation Chairman Susan Brink Sherratt (BB-Michigan State) honored the Foundation’s top collegiate and alumnae chapter donors. Loyola Marymount (FB) took top honors, raising almost $40,000 during the 2002 biennium. Santa Clara (F ) took second place, raising more than $27,000 to benefit the Foundation this biennium. Foundation program awards, including International Professor of the Year and the Cardiac Care Award, were announced during Convention Assembled and the Foundation-sponsored hearthealthy luncheon. (Read more about Foundation awards on page 12) Following the awards program, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Kat Parsons (B-Northwestern) entertained the crowd. (For more information about Kat, visit www.katparsons.com.) Educational Tracks The Convention 2002 collegiate and alumnae tracks covered topics such as recruitment, philanthropy event ideas, the National Panhellenic Conference’s alcohol-free initiative, alumnae Panhellenic involvement, volunteering and emerging issues on today’s college campuses. Director of Alumnae Membership Cindy Day Erwin says, “We were pleasantly surprised at the increase in alumnae attending programs compared to Convention 2000.” FALL 2002

presented during the Candlelight Banquet. (See page 10 for a list of all award winners.) Also during Candlelight Banquet, toastmistress Mary Rekart Ulich ( -Northern Colorado) presented the 2002-04 International Executive Board (see sidebar). Former International President Nancy Wittgen Burks DeVoe ( -DePauw) not only spoke about life-long friendships in Alpha Phi, but modeled it by introducing four of her 1943 Gamma pledge sisters. The five took advantage of Convention 2002 as an opportunity for a small reunion. Valerie Lawlor (O-Missouri) conducted a touching Service of Remembrance. The family of former International President and long-time NPC Delegate Betty Mullins Jones ( -DePauw) was present, including both of Betty’s daughters: Jody Jones Serey ( DePauw) and Sara “Buffy” Jones ( -DePauw). Jody paid tribute to her mother by sharing some of Betty’s shining moments as a mother, author, lecturer, NPC supporter and loyal Alpha Phi. Eight new members were welcomed into Alpha Phi sisterhood during the traditional initiation ceremony, conducted by Laura Malley-Schmitt (F -MIT) and Linda Schnetzer (BO-Bowling Green State) (see sidebar). Special Guest Speakers CNN Headline News Anchor Sachi Koto was Convention 2002’s keynote speaker. A 14-year veteran of CNN, Sachi is based at the network’s world headquarters in Atlanta covering breaking news as a prime-time “just in” anchor. Before joining CNN, Sachi worked as an anchor for JCTV (Japan Cable Television) from 1978-1986 and for Nippon Hoso Kyoku (NHK) Radio from 1980-1986, both in Tokyo. She spoke about overcoming adversity and reflected on her experiences as a third generation Japanese American. ALPHA PHI

“You have to learn to believe in what you’re fighting for and hammer away at it,” she says. “The key to life … is to be the best you can possibly be – at any age.” Sachi also moderated an open forum that afternoon for collegiate delegates and advisers regarding the media and how Alpha Phi’s collegiate chapters can work with their local media to avoid sticky situations. “Court your media,” Sachi says. “Keep inviting them over. Write press releases [about the chapter’s positive activities]. It becomes personal. It’s good business networking on college and any level.” Erin Weed (FA-Eastern Illinois), founder of the Girls Fight Back self-defense program, combined lecture and optional interactive self-defense training to inspire collegiate delegates and advisers to fight for themselves in all areas of their lives. Her program, which empowers women to trust their intuition and protect themselves against violence, was created in memory of Alpha Phi Sister Shannon McNamara (FA-Eastern Illinois). Shannon was murdered while fighting off an attacker in her offcampus home in June 2001. The Girls Fight Back program was launched at Eastern Illinois University on Sept. 25, 2001, and

The first Chapter Adviser Academy was held June 25-26, prior to Convention 2002. Forty-five advisers participated in workshops planned and presented by staff members Linda Long Boland (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach) and Laura Garraway Caulfield (∆E-Iowa), Mid-Atlantic Regional Manager Kim Larsen Watson (O-Missouri), 2002-04 International Executive Board Member Lindsay Wiggins (BΠ-USC), Membership Standing Committee Chair Laura Malley-Schmitt (ZΦ-MIT) and NPC Delegate Sally McCall Grant (Γ-DePauw). The session focused on the foundation of our collegiate chapters: rushing strength, financial management, citizenship, advisory support and competitive chapter size. Facilitators discussed these key elements and explored other factors that make up a healthy chapter. Alpha Phi is committed to the continued support of our chapter advisers and recognizes them as key volunteers in our current structure. Watch for more chapter adviser training opportunities in the coming year. For more information, contact Laura Caulfield at lcaulfield@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8923.

Erin has taken it across the country. It incorporates three major lines of defense: preventative protection, trusting yourself and your intuition, and physical self-defense. Erin says the most important lesson she teaches women regarding the program is “Never ever doubt yourself.” (Visit www.alphaphi.org and www.girlsfightback.com for more information.) ER Nurse Nancy Lange Burnett (B -UCLA) educated collegiate delegates and advisers Friday with a moving presentation about the effects of club drugs on a sometimes unsuspecting person. Nancy has a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and nursing and has been a registered nurse since 1987. Currently, she works in pediatric intensive care and as an emergency nurse at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). Nancy is the winner of the 2000 Emergency Medicine Residents’ Award for Nursing Excellence, an award given to one ER nurse by the graduating class of residents. She also was the recipient of the OHSU Critical Care Nurse of the Year in 2001 and Alpha Phi’s 2002 Ursa Major Award (see page 10).

bowling night with Boston (HΛ) collegians and happy hours are in the works. Incentives will be implemented to bring more sisters to events. The chapter partnered with a local hospital that researches cardiac care to host a 5K walk/run during spring. In July, alumnae cheered on the Boston Red Sox in a baseball game against the Minnesota Twins. An annual open house Aug. 3 at IEB Member Amy Pfannenstiel Bunszel’s (∆-Cornell) home provided an opportunity to reunite with lost sisters and meet new members. All enjoyed reminiscing about college days and comparing similar experiences no matter the location of their school. There was a short discussion about the state of the Fraternity and new BAC ideas. BAC plans to honor 50-year members at a Founders’ Day brunch Oct. 20 with certificates and a ceremony. Friends and family are encouraged to attend to recognize these wonderful and dedicated women.

sisterhood not being hindered by age; membership ranges from new graduates to moms with tots to slightly-seasoned sisters who have grandchildren the age of the new graduates. Much of the chapter’s success has to do with the diversity of its calendar. They hosted events during the year that included a holiday wine and cheese party, a pottery-making day and an afternoon tea with new graduates from local collegiate chapters. The annual Easter basket philanthropy event was a great success; chapter members created and donated 170 baskets for children’s hospitals and 135 sundry baskets for abused women’s shelters. Each year, the number of baskets donated increases, and alumnae are able to share the Alpha Phi spirit with more people. Several dynamic members volunteer for Alpha Phi: Gloria Torrano Boyle (AΛ) and Elizabeth Clarke Garcia (H∆-CSU/Hayward) serve on UC/Berkeley’s (Λ) house corporation board and Madeleine Wisniewski (H∆-CSU/Hayward) is the collegiate chapter’s program development adviser.

Women’s Work: How Careers Evolved By Natalie Lundsteen

Until the late 1800s “women’s work” couldn’t be termed “careers,” but very slowly the female workplace evolved from textile mills and factories to hospitals and schools, banks and businesses, politics and government. The opportunities to access higher education are at last boundless, and today the sky is truly the limit in terms of career opportunities for women. (Wage equality, however, is another matter.) To review how far we’ve advanced, the following facts speak for themselves.

1963: The Equal Pay Act, proposed 20 years earlier, establishes equal pay for men and women performing the same job duties. It does not cover domestics, agricultural workers, executives, administrators or professionals. 1964: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act bars employment discrimination by private employers, employment agencies and unions based on race, sex and other grounds. 1969: In Bowe v.

1872: Charlotte E. Ray, Howard University law school graduate, becomes the first African-American woman admitted to the U.S. bar.

1873: The Association for the Advancement of Women is formed to promote higher education and professional possibilities for women. Unfortunately, also that year, Harvard Medical College Professor Edward H. Clarke declares higher education harms women and their future offspring. His views are widely believed and quoted for decades. The decision of Bradwell v.

Outstanding Advisers During the Convention 2002 collegiate awards ceremony (see page 10), two chapter advisers received much-deserved recognition for service to their respective collegiate chapters when Alpha Phi International named them Outstanding Chapter Advisers for the 2000-02 biennium. Monica Jolly (F Santa Clara), chapter adviser to Washington ( ), received the bordeaux level (campuses with eight or more Panhellenic groups) award. Jaime Alsup Monica Jolly Ryberg ( -Northeast Missouri State) received the award at the silver level (based on seven or fewer Panhellenic groups on a campus) for her service to Washington University (FT). Chapters submitted completed nomination forms by March 2002 to be eligible for the award. “Jaime has established a successful balance between guiding us and allowing Jamie Ryberg us to figure things out on our own,” says Zeta Upsilon Chapter President Mackinnon Webster. “Her deep understanding and knowledge of Alpha Phi practices made the year so much easier for the entire executive council. Mostly, Jaime deserves to be recognized because of her hard work and commitment.” Mackinnon continues, “This semester could have been especially challenging because all but one of our executive council members were sophomores. We needed extra guidance, commitment and

patience. Jaime has been amazing in helping us not only meet, but surpass our goals and expectations. By establishing open communication and exercising full support, Jaime passed her knowledge onto us and eased our transition into the chapter’s leaders. I feel comfortable bringing any issue to her attention.” Sigma Chapter President Christie Lindgren says, “Monica has been faced with many challenges over the past two years. When she came to Sigma, she was the only adviser. She recruited enough alumnae to completely fill empty positions and rebuild the advisory board. Monica’s relationship with the other advisers is a strong one. She makes sure they are wellinformed of chapter events and organizes training and group meetings.” “She also had to resolve a number of difficult issues within the chapter, including those involving alcohol and hazing,” Christie adds. “She helped guide and support our executive council through these challenges to a successful resolution.” “Specific qualities were evident in the nominations for both of these women,” says Program Manager of Collegiate Operations Laura Garraway Caulfield ( E-Iowa). “Their willingness to go above and beyond the duties of their positions, supportiveness, dependability and availability were all common to both nominations. These are important qualities in any adviser.” According to Director of Collegiate Membership Linda Long Boland ( J-CSU/Long Beach), “The process of choosing a winner was tough because we received several outstanding nominations. It proves that Alpha Phi International is fortunate to have dedicated alumnae mentors who serve our collegiate chapters across North America. We thank all our advisers!” Congratulations Monica and Jaime. Alpha Phi International salutes you!

Editor’s Note: Volunteers who serve as advisers to Alpha Phi’s collegiate chapters across North America are vital to the success of those chapters. A chapter advisory board is led by a chapter adviser and includes advisers specializing in recruitment, programming and finance. Contact the Executive Office at 847.475.0663 or training@alphaphi.org for information about serving as an adviser.

Syracuse (A) Last fall, Alpha collegians joined Fingerlakes, N.Y., alumnae to celebrate Founders’ Day and the 115th anniversary of sorority house living at Syracuse University. While researching for the weekend’s affair, the chapter discovered a newspaper article documenting the laying of a cornerstone for America’s first sorority house.

H I S T O R Y / H E R I TA G E Alpha Phi Celebrates NPC Centennial Alpha Phi’s history in the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) traces to its beginning. Exactly 100 years ago, Alpha Phi called the 1902 meeting that led to the founding of NPC. At the turn of the 20th century, recruitment was chaotic. Where freshmen arrived at colleges and universities via trains, sorority members waited a few stations prior, boarded the trains and pledged new members on the spot. There were even cases of women joining two sororities. In 1900, Margaret Mason (Whitney), who had just graduated from Michigan (Θ), was elected national president of Alpha Phi. Dismayed at the frenzied recruitment practices, she called a meeting of sorority representatives in Chicago in May 1902 to discuss regulating recruitment. Attending the meeting were representatives of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Phi. The delegates voted to continue meeting annually, and thus was born the Intersorority Conference, which later changed its name to the National Panhellenic Conference. This was the first permanent inter-Greek organization. The corresponding men’s organization, now called the North American Interfraternity Conference, was not founded until 1909. Officers of NPC serve in rotation based on the year in which their organization joined NPC. Sally McCall Grant (Γ-DePauw) is Alpha Phi’s third chairman, serving 2001-03. Previous chairmen were Cora Allen McElroy (B-Northwestern), 1911-12, and Margaret Coshun Hutchinson (Ψ-South Dakota), 1953-54.

Foundation Welcomes New Executive Director It all begin when she was a girl … a Campfire Girl. It was the annual Campfire Girl candy campaign, and young Rebecca Andrew was named top seller of her troop. And so a fundraising career began … Rebecca Andrew Zanatta (BQ -Washington State) was named Foundation executive director after Nancy Owen Craig (BVBucknell) retired at the end of May. Foundation Manager of Public Relations Emily Ellison Lamb ( I-Texas Tech) spoke with Rebecca about the beginning of her career, the Foundation’s future and moving across the country from Seattle to Chicago. You love Chicago … Yes! I traveled as an educational leadership consultant (ELC) for the Fraternity, so I had the opportunity to see a little of the city during our training. When I received the offer to work for the Foundation, my fiancé Jeff and I jumped at the chance to move. I had just finished my graduate work at the University of Idaho, and Jeff was working in Seattle. We rented a Penske® truck and took a tour of the Western U.S. as we drove to Chicago. Now Chicago is home and Jeff isn’t your fiancé anymore? He’s my husband now! We were married in April on a beach in Hawaii. It was gorgeous. After our honeymoon, we had a reception in Seattle, where we both grew up. There were lots of Alpha Phis there. How did you join Alpha Phi? By chance. Alpha Phi was my second choice. I think I was upset at first, probably because it was the first time in my life I didn’t get what I wanted. I often share this story because as it turned out, Alpha Phi was the FALL 2002

perfect place for me. I was a chapter officer for Washington State (BQ ) and then elected a Panhellenic officer. And the Foundation executive director was born … Not exactly! I have always been interested in development and higher education – a good fit for Alpha Phi Foundation. As a student at Washington State, I worked as a campus calling center representative, soliciting alumnae donors. During my time there, I raised more than $70,000 and developed a donor contact system that is still used today. When I was doing my graduate work at the University of Idaho, I volunteered for the university development office. Now I have my CFRM (certificate of fund raising management) from the Indiana School of Philanthropy, management experience and two years of mentoring from Nancy Craig, retired Foundation ED. So you’ve helped build the success of the Foundation during the past few years? As Foundation manager of development, I implemented our Power of 100 program – I think the success of this major donor campaign surprised our membership! In 1994 there were only 18 women who gave $1,000 or more. Now we have more than 100 women who annually give at least $1,000 to the Foundation. I also began a collegiate phoning program called Phis Phoning Phis that raised more than $20,000. One of my first projects was

Rebecca Zanatta and husband Jeff

creating a partnership with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (of the National Institutes of Health). Recently, I initiated Alpha Phi Foundation’s joining of the National WomanHeart Coalition. And I’m ready to watch us grow to the next level. Our staff is motivated and talented; we have many more creative ideas to implement. I want to see the Foundation continue as a leader in our field. What are three goals you have for the Foundation? Develop a major gift strategy, increase our members’ awareness about planned giving opportunities and put Alpha Phi Foundation on the map as an advocate for women’s cardiac health. Sounds like you’ve got big plans … Well, I’m willing to take risks, and I like to challenge the norm. My job is easier because I believe in the cause of the Foundation. I take pride in the fact that we support our sisters with leadership and scholastic endeavors; I’m a great example of a member who directly benefited from these types of programs.

FOUNDATION AWARDS MORE THAN $90,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP AID Alpha Phi Foundation is proud to continue the Fraternity’s high regard for scholarship and foster the pioneering spirit our Founders held close to their hearts by awarding scholarship aid to 83 young women. These women received a total of $91,000 for the 2002-03 school year. Winners were selected among highly competitive applicant pools from graduate and undergraduate universities across the United States and Canada. Annually, the Foundation’s scholarship committee reads the hundreds of applications received and evaluates them primarily on scholastic achievement, plus campus involvement, community/Alpha Phi service and essay answers. The Foundation Board of Directors approves the final recipients. The Foundation sends applications to all collegiate chapters in early fall. Ask your director of scholarship for a copy or call Foundation Coordinator of Chapter Development and Marketing Kristin Tomala (F -Elmhurst) at 847.316.8949 to request one. You can also download an application from our Web site at www.alphaphi.org. The deadline for submission of applications for the 2003-04 school year is March 15, 2003. GRADUATE WINNERS
