As women, we are surrounded with information about our health. We read studies about the value of exercise, we hear about the importance of stress management, and we learn about the importance of regular visits to the doctor. As President, I am proud of Alpha Phi’s commitment to issues of health. The Alpha Phi Foundation advocates on behalf of women’s cardiac health, sisters attending Convention last summer participated in a walk-athon, and Alpha Phi programming teaches healthy choices. Alpha Phi is committed to the health of its members and also to the health of its chapters. We count on Fraternity leaders who ensure our chapters – both collegiate and alumnae – are Crista Cate Vasina healthy and have the strength to continue long-term. One way we manage Fraternity wellness is by tracking specific health indicators in our collegiate chapters – and soon in our alumnae chapters. These measures help us determine strengths and areas for improvement. Alpha Phi’s chapter health was reviewed during the summer’s chapter development sessions including VIPhi Weekend, Rush University and Chapter Adviser Academy. Throughout these trainings, members of the International Executive Board (IEB) spoke with current advisers, regional team members and International leaders. It was clear from these conversations that Fraternity volunteers make a real difference in the health of our chapters. This informal data demonstrates what our formal data has already confirmed: chapter strength is improving as a result of your support. I know I speak for the entire IEB when I thank you for making Alpha Phi successful. Another theme that surfaced was how volunteering for Alpha Phi not only improves our Fraternity’s health, but our own. We consistently heard sisters say, “I volunteer because it makes me feel good.” I truly believe volunteering contributes to our overall health. One of my favorite Alpha Phi sisters says it well, “I live with my three sons and my husband – a house full of males. I will always be an active part of Alpha Phi because I want women in my life.” I agree with her. Smart, fun, involved, caring Alpha Phis are part of my life and add to my well-being. As women, we are reminded constantly that staying healthy means committing to lifestyle changes. I am proud of Alpha Phi’s commitment to issues of improved chapter strength and individual well-being. I am also proud that we are helping our members lead a well-balanced, healthy life while supporting Alpha Phi.

Focus on the Future
Vision
Alpha Phi Forms Committee to Evaluate Strategic Plan The Alpha Phi Strategic Plan adopted by the International Executive Board (IEB) in 1996 articulates Alpha Phi’s vision for the 21st century and outlines strategies for achieving the vision. Over the past several years, the implementation of the Plan has addressed a wide range of areas including the governance, management and structure of Alpha Phi’s programs and services. But 1996 is now nearly two college generations in the past! The Alpha Phi of 2003 is very different from the Alpha Phi of 1996. With so many changes in both Alpha Phi and the world around us, it is important to review regularly our strategy and strategic processes to stay current with the needs and desires of our current and future members. Towards this end, the Strategic Plan Evaluation Committee (SPEC) was created and charged with the task of evaluating the existing Strategic Plan and identifying areas in need of improvement. What exactly will the committee be doing? At first, it will be critical to understand the impact of the existing Plan on the Fraternity. How far have we come since 1996? How far do we have to go? With a clear understanding of the Fraternity of today, the committee will then propose refinements to the vision and direction to ensure they are relevant to the world of today. Before completing its task, the committee will propose an ongoing process for keeping the Strategic Plan up-to-date in the future. The findings of this evaluation will be presented at Alpha Phi’s 2004 Convention in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The following committee members were selected based on their knowledge of Alpha Phi’s Strategic Plan, their role in Fraternity operations and their experience with strategic planning: Linda Long Boland ( J-CSU/Long Beach) Amy Pfannenstiel Bunszel ( -Cornell) Julie King Gomez ( -Wichita State) Kathy Feeney Hiemstra ( -Western Michigan) Tara Riemer Jones (FO-Johns Hopkins) Valerie Lawlor (O-Missouri) Linda Gardner Massie ( A-East Carolina) Janis Coughlin-Piester ( J-Rochester) Susan Carrochi Sherman (EM-Delaware) Barbara Thomas ( I-Texas Tech) Peg DeChant Thornburg (B -Kent State) Crista Cate Vasina ( -Northern Colorado) Susan Zabriskie ( -Michigan) In addition to the core committee members, the SPEC will involve as many Alpha Phis as possible in the evaluation process. If you have questions regarding the Strategic Plan Evaluation Committee or would like to know how you can become a part of the process, contact Chair Tara Riemer Jones at tara@alumnae.alphaphi.org.

If you are like most women, you are probably overwhelmed by the amount of information in the news about how to become more, and remain, healthy. Theories about health, especially nutrition, change from year to year. Are eggs healthy or not? What about pasta? What about meat? How much exercise is necessary? Do I really have to drink eight glasses of water a day? This health and nutrition overload can be very confusing. It seems like we are all expected to be medical experts, understand the difference between “good” and “bad” cholesterol, know how much folic acid we need each day and be able to calculate our own body mass index. You could spend all day every day staying on top of the latest information about your health. But what good is the information if it doesn’t support you in your daily life? A healthy life is one of wholeness and balance. Health is not a destination to be achieved, but a vehicle for living a life you love. A balanced woman has balanced moods, hormone levels, exercise routine, relationships and a balance of work and play. How healthy and balanced are you?

WHAT IS HOLISTIC HEALTH COUNSELING? Holistic health counseling approaches a person’s health from two main perspectives and works to improve the health concern or imbalance. It includes the analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, spiritual and lifestyle elements. By using food as a tool and medicine, holistic health counselors believe one can powerfully and dramatically affect her health. The practice combines Western dietary theories with ancient Eastern dietary/medicinal traditions to powerfully approach a person’s disease or ailment. Balance is created by addressing the following areas of health and healing:

HEART HEALTH Alpha Phis know a major concern for women is cardiovascular health. According to the American Heart AssociationÂŽ, the number of women who die from heart disease has increased to more than 500,000 a year. In addition, more women die from heart disease each year than from all cancers combined. There are many ways to reduce your risk: drink enough water, eat vegetables and fruits and reduce sugary processed foods (see page 42 for additional examples and information about leading a heart healthy lifestyle).
SIZZLE QUINOA* SALAD Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed 2 cups water 1 can chickpeas, drained 1 bunch scallions, minced 1 red bell pepper, diced 2 carrots, peeled and grated 1 red onion, diced 1 /2 bunch parsley, minced 1 /2 bunch cilantro, minced 1 /2 cup white raisins (optional) 1 /4 cup olive oil juice squeezed from 1 lemon salt and pepper, to taste Preparation: Bring water to a boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Transfer cooked fluffy quinoa to large serving bowl. Add chickpeas, scallions, pepper, carrots, onion, parsley and cilantro. Add raisins if desired.

For those at a loss as to how to add a dash more fun to your day, here’s a list of things you can do right now.
• Camp out in your backyard. • Get a massage. • Design a piece of jewelry. • Schedule a last-minute vacation. • Buy something red. • Go skinny-dipping. • Take a mid-day nap without setting the alarm. • Turn your cell phone off for 24 hours. • Bake cookies. • Sit outside and blow bubbles. • Say no the next time someone asks you for a favor. • Take a belly-dancing class. • Start a conversation with a stranger. • Eat the ripest peach you can find. • Go horseback riding. Becoming truly healthy is a process of discovering one’s own body, understanding how it works and nurturing it using food and lifestyle adjustments. Healing in this manner is whole, long-term and within your reach. Create a new healthy future for yourself.

2 “Portion size is important. It’s not what you eat, but how much of it. We’re all human. There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods. The key is everything in moderation.” –Jeannie Mueller ( Northern Colorado)
Advice from a Registered Dietician
Registered Dietician Jeannie Steinkirchner Mueller ( -Northern Colorado) instructs using the American Heart Association’s® Slim For Life® program, a 10-week nutrition education and weight management program that promotes heart healthy lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. “Having a certificate in adult weight management, I understand the stress people face in trying to be healthy in an unhealthy society,” says Jeannie. Important to note, she says, is, “You can’t be healthy without exercise and eating healthy.” When it comes to healthy eating, Jeannie says, “Portion size is important. It’s not what you eat, but how much of it. We’re all human. There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods. The key is everything in moderation.” Jeannie recommends the following tips regarding nutrition, physical activity and overall behavioral modifications. Eating for optimal health 1) Eat a varied meal plan: Eat five or more servings of vegetables and fruits, and incorporate
whole grains and legumes rather than refined grains (white rice, white bread). Whole grains are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. 2) Keep fat intake moderate: Consumption of calories of fat should come from monounsaturated fats (olive oil, canola oil and peanuts). 3) Consume sugary foods only in moderation. 4) Consume enough calcium: Calcium prevents osteoporosis and helps with premenstrual syndrome. Try low-fat dairy products and dark-green leafy vegetables. 5) Drink enough fluids: The body, under average conditions, loses approximately two to three quarts of fluid daily through perspiration, exhaled moisture and excretion. Replace this fluid by consuming the equivalent of at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. 6) If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation: Experts recommend women consume less than one drink per day (defined as 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor or spirits).

AHA physical activity guidelines The FITT system recommends the following regarding physical activity: Frequency: physical activity daily or almost every day Intensity: moderate intensity activity (65 percent to 85 percent of predicted maximum heart rate) Time: accumulate 30 minutes or more throughout the day (60 minutes to lose weight) Type: find a physical activity you like. Exercise is supposed to be fun. You do not have to stick to just one thing; try a variety of activities. Behavioral modifications for a healthier you If you know you get hungry at 3 p.m. daily, preplan a healthy snack. Bring fruit versus running to the vending machine and grabbing a candy bar at that time. Find a hobby. We tend to eat when we’re bored or watching television. Heather Rampello (HYChapman) is a territory manager for the Dairy Council of California (DCC) in its Irvine, Calif., office. She promotes DCC and provides free nutrition, physical activity and health resources to teachers and Heather Rampello health professionals in California. “I absolutely love my job.

Rebecca Potter Schichler (BNorthwestern) is a fitness coach and personal trainer for the YMCA (Greater Rochester, N.Y.), specializing in motivating menopausal and post-menopausal women to stay fit, build cardio-vascular strength Rebecca Schichler and endurance and preserve and increase bone density. She also teaches water aerobics and gentle yoga. “My personal mission is to develop and strengthen my own intellect, body and spirit, which empowers me to reflect and encourage these qualities in others,” says Rebecca. “The keys to a successful fitness program are discipline and consistency over time. It also is important to have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellows. This I learned three decades ago in the halls of Alpha Phi ... and I’ve been having a good time and staying fit ever since.”
Tiffany Shurtz Schlinke (ΦOklahoma) is a registered dietician at Mercy Health Center heart hospital in Oklahoma City. She speaks at weight loss programs, has developed educational classes for employee health, appears on Tiffany Schlinke local television and speaks at daycare and infant play programs. “There is some very bad misinformation out there,” she says. “For example, people buy into myths such as a high protein diet to lose weight. Some people avoid carbohydrates on these diets, and they miss out on nutrients provided by fruits, vegetables and whole wheat products. They will lose weight at first. However, the diet induces ketoacidosis, where the body breaks down muscle tissue (e.g., the heart) to make the glucose the brain needs to function. The diet also taxes the kidneys.” PAGE SEVEN

Sister Founds Health and Nutrition Web Site
Patricia Brown Kelly (BS-Indiana) is co-founder and executive vice president of The FoodFit Company, Inc., which focuses on healthy eating and active living. She and former U.S. Undersecretary of Agriculture for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Ellen Haas draw on the expertise of top public health organizations, leading dieticians, fitness experts and chefs to offer, through the company’s Web site (www.foodfit.com), nutritional recipes, fitness trends, motivation and interactive tools to assess health habits. In addition, the FoodFit’s Diet & Fitness Club, a premier service for subscribers created specifically for the company by the University of California/Davis Medical Center, features personalized diets, menu plans, chef-created recipes and personalized fitness recommendations. The site’s newest feature is Mind, Body, Spirit, a program that offers ideas for living a more balanced life. Pat says FoodFit’s Seven-Step Plan is a good way to get started on lifestyle changes. Step 1: Start early—breakfast is a habit to cultivate Research shows that breakfasteaters consume fewer calories at lunch and dinner and are less likely to snack compulsively the rest of the day. What you eat for breakfast matters. A breakfast that’s high in fiber and carbohydrates but low in fat gets your metabolism moving faster. Breakfast skippers burn fewer calories. Good “grab and go” breakfasts are a banana or a bag of dry cereal such as oat squares (oats lower “bad” cholesterol levels.) Mix berries into plain yogurt for a calcium and antioxidant boost.
PAGE EIGHT
If you’re opting for an energy bar, check the label carefully and pick the one with the least calories and saturated fat. Step 2: Think portion control—size it up Don’t feel you have to clean your plate when you’re eating out. Most meals are larger than the average adult requires. Try splitting dinner with a friend. Remember: A serving of meat is about the size of a deck of cards or your palm. Substitute one or two “first course” dishes for the main; you’ll get a variety of tastes without huge portions. Drinks lots of water at the table to slow eating and hunger. Step 3: Plan ahead for snacks—so your munchies are healthful Snacking isn’t a bad habit if you’re mindful of how many calories you’re eating. (Keep a food and exercise diary to stay on track.) In fact, eating frequently instead of waiting until you’re ravenous might help you avoid overeating. It also keeps blood sugar levels normal and brain chemistry in balance. Have a corner in the fridge reserved for goodfor-you nibbles. Put some cut-up veggies or sliced fruit on the table to help you through hunger just before dinner is ready. Snack only when you’re hungry; it’s not the cure for a glum mood. Step 4: Small changes make a big difference —to your waistline Choose low fat. Switching to 1 percent or skim milk from 2 percent slashes the fat by at least half. Eat your fruit instead of drinking it. You’ll get more fiber and antioxidants and fewer calories. Other changes that make a difference: Knock the word “club” off your sandwich, e.g., bacon, cheese and extra bread. Go for mustard to add flavor and save calories and fat.

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Eat sensibly and engage in brisk activity every day. Make an honest evaluation of your use of alcohol and medications. Stop smoking cigarettes or using tobacco products. Make sure you are receiving age-appropriate screenings and examinations. Talk to your physician if you are feeling sad or anxious for extended periods. Ensure that you and your children have received all necessary immunizations. Talk to them about healthy ways to resolve conflicts and monitor their exposure to violence. Make sure you are taking all medications as prescribed. Don’t be afraid to talk to a physician if you have any questions. Make sure there are no interactions with foods, beverages, dietary supplements or other medicines you may be taking.
Hold the butter on your movie popcorn and you’ll save more than 200 calories. An English muffin is usually half the calories of an average bagel and is low in fat. Switch to water from sugary sodas. Step 5: Fit fitness in throughout the day— every step you take counts Lifestyle activities can provide health benefits similar to a traditional gym-based workout. Get moving by parking in the furthest space, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator or walking or stretching while you’re on the phone. The goal for good health is to accumulate 10,000 steps a day, experts say. To help keep track, some people use an electronic pedometer – a palm size gadget that clips to your waistband and measures the number of steps you take. Balance on one foot while brushing your teeth. Balance on the other foot while combing your hair.

If you don’t have a dog, borrow your neighbor’s, or just walk your “inner dog.” Step 6: Remember the basics of good nutrition Use the Food Guide Pyramid as a tool to help you make choices in today’s confusing marketplace and to help balance your diet. Step 7: Treat yourself Pick a day or two in the week and have a treat that is planned, such as a dessert or entree that you especially enjoy. The extra 100-200 calories you’ve eaten will then be easily burned off with a 1-2 mile walk. Visit www.foodfit.com for additional resources.

Is Your Career Healthy? By Nancy E. Huenefeld (BE-Arizona)
Is your career moving in the direction you want? Are you proud of your work? Does it meet your financial needs? Are you challenged? A career used to be considered a person’s series of jobs throughout her life. Today, careers are defined more as activities that create a satisfying lifestyle. Jobs weave into your life; they do not define your life. Knowing “who you are” allows you to assess how your current job and career path fit into your life. Life assessment Exploring who you are involves examining values, culture, spiritual beliefs, emotional health, skills, abilities and interests. Write your thoughts as you reflect on the following. For detailed values, skills and interests assessment exercises, see the Resources sidebar. Values and culture Reflect on the past month. Based on your activities, what has been important or meaningful? Who have you spent time with, and where did you focus your energy? What values do you consistently identify? Your heritage, family traditions and faith should be included in a cultural assessment. What does it mean for you to be a woman? How does your culture or community affect your career decision-making? Spiritual beliefs and emotional health Take time to self-explore by reading books, meditating, journaling or talking with someone you trust. Professional career counseling is a good option for further depth in the areas of mental health and spiritual beliefs. This is a holistic process, and a good career counselor provides more than just tests and assessment in helping you self-explore. Skills and abilities Consider the duties performed in jobs you’ve held and as a volunteer. What skills and abilities have you used in each position? Don’t overlook unpaid activities. Which skills do you want to enhance or

CAREER ADJUSTMENT OR CHANGE OPTIONS • Shift to another position or role within your company. • Change work sector (e.g., from private to non-profit or government). • Rather than shift your career, augment it with fun activities, volunteer work or a weekend job to balance out what you already do. • Take continuing education courses or earn another degree to increase your marketability. Become an apprentice in a trade. • Start your own business.
use in a career? Skills can be learned, so a lack of skills in a certain area need not deter you from exploring careers that use those skills. Interests What careers have you considered? What are your dream jobs, and what makes them so interesting? When you ask yourself if your career is healthy, examine all aspects of your life. Think about the things you like to do, your interests and areas of yourself you’d like to develop. To change or not to change Are you doing what interests you, using skills that challenge you and spending time doing what you value? Ideally, your job should supplement your life. Not all jobs fit all of your needs, but it is optimal for them to fit many. If you are unsure how much your current job fits you, determine your unmet needs, then explore other job and career possibilities (see sidebar). Once you have ideas, discuss them with everyone you know. Anyone could have contacts who may be good connections. Request occupational or informational interviews to gain firsthand knowledge and insight about positions of interest. Regularly reassess your exploration, and look for creative ways to develop a lifestyle and career that complement each other and you. This is not a simple process. Career health means a healthy lifestyle and a healthy you. Take time to assess your life. You are worth it! Nancy E. Huenefeld, Ph.D. (BE-Arizona) is a licensed psychologist in Seattle.

IEB Election: Choosing Women of Vision, Intelligence and Action The International Executive Board (IEB) is comprised of Alpha Phis who have a deep love for the Fraternity and a vision for her future. The process has begun to nominate the capable women who will lead the Fraternity during the 2004-06 biennium. We search for leaders who are unafraid of challenges, open to new ideas and who thrive on learning and growing. All International dues-paying alumnae are eligible to serve on the Executive Board. According to our Constitution, “the International Alpha Phi International’s 2002-04 IEB. Executive Board shall be the governing and policymaking body of the Fraternity in the interim between Conventions and shall exercise general fiduciary responsibility for the Fraternity’s business and affairs. The Board shall have full and final authority over, and the responsibility for, the activities and operations of the Fraternity and shall have the power to do and perform all such acts as may be done by the Fraternity. The Board is limited in this respect by Convention actions and the provisions of the Constitution and Bylaws, and other governing documents of the Fraternity.” The Committee on Leadership (COL), made up of both elected and appointed members, selects the slate for the Executive Board that is presented to the membership. The timeline for this election process follows: Oct. 6 to Nov. 10, 2003: Candidate evaluation. Jan. 23-25, 2004: Slating weekend. February-April, 2004: Slate announced. Ballots distributed and returned. May 1, 2004: IEB election results announced. June 23-27, 2004: IEB transition and election of next biennium’s COL at Convention 2004.

Some of these services include developing the Fraternity’s Online Community (www.alphaphi.org/ onlinecommunity) to allow greater alumnae communication, improving services for local alumnae chapters’ leadership and partially funding with the Alpha Phi Foundation educational leadership consultants to visit collegiate chapters.

PHIS COMPETE WITH HELP FROM TEAM IN TRAINING® Four alumnae have participated in marathons thanks to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s® Team In Training®, a program that trains non-athletes to run or walk marathons or half-marathons in exchange for fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society®. Alisa Kehr (EΦΛ-NC State) ran the Nokia® Sugar Bowl Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans in February. Lanie Goodman (Φ-Oklahoma) has participated in two marathons through Team In Training®, the Mardi Gras Marathon and the Suzuki® Rock ’n Roll Marathon in San Diego in June. Running “is something I really have to work at,” says Lanie, who continues to train for future marathons. “Since I am new to running, my goal is always to beat Alisa Kehr my previous time.” Connie Madrid (ΘΛ-Central Missouri State) joined Lanie for both events,

Quarterly
Congratulations 25-, 50- and 75-Year Sisters! Alpha Phi salutes the following women who celebrate a significant anniversary of sisterhood during 2003. We recognize these members of Alpha Phi for 25 (initiated in 1978), 50 (initiated in 1953) and 75 years (initiated in 1928) of membership. These women are now eligible to purchase a special anniversary pin from the Executive Office to mark this wonderful occasion. To order, please e-mail alumnae@alphaphi.org or call 847.316.8940. Editor’s Note: British Columbia (B ), Michigan ( ), and USC (B ) are not in the 25-year member list because initiation practices of the time included extended pledging periods. Other chapters may not be in one of the lists because they did not exist at the time (e.g., chapters were closed or not yet established).
25-Year Members The newest piece of jewelry in our collection, the 25year member pin, is a sterling silver badge in the shape of the Big Dipper, fashioned with seven sapphires at each of the joints.

Dedicated Advisory Board Leads to Healthy Chapter 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 others specializing in recruitment, programming and finance. Contact lmartin@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8943 for information about serving as an adviser.
Missouri (O) is one of Alpha Phi’s largest collegiate chapters, and even though it is located two hours away from major cities, it has a large number of outstanding advisers who have guided the chapter to the position it is in today, says Program Manager of Collegiate Operations Laura Garraway Caulfield ( E-Iowa). Lisa McGivern Kozlen (BA-Illinois), who’s been chapter adviser since 2001 and new member education adviser prior to that, says, “Advising can be overwhelming. Being able to divide responsibilities into more manageable projects is crucial to the chapter as well as to the health of the advisers.” The 10-person board has a team approach, says Lisa, that includes splitting time so representatives are present at everything from judicial board hearings and chapter meetings to recruitment and move-in day. They advise more than 200 women. Several also are involved in alumnae chapters and other volunteer roles. “Different advisers are able to contribute varying amounts of time and talents, so being flexible to their needs is important,” says Lisa. “Some alumnae can be at meetings more often, and some can only come in for special events. We try to tap into those different situations to keep the alumnae involved as well as benefit the chapter with their experience.” She credits her entire team for successful adviser recruitment and succession planning: “Trying to find ways for people to contribute is just a matter of creativity and asking questions. Not being from Omicron and Missouri, I have relied on other

volunteers to recruit women they know. We also started recruiting our young alumnae. They know the system and can be great allies for those of us who may be more removed.” Quite impressive, says Associate Director of Collegiate Membership Megan Bouché (EMinnesota), noting that prior to its revitalization in 1998, Omicron had inconsistent support. “In the past five years, the advisory board and the chapter have grown together,” says Megan. “Omicron’s board has continuously been represented at adviser training opportunities, most recently at CA Academy and Rush U. during the summer. This is an example of their advisers’ willingness to improve their knowledge in order to improve the chapter.” “My hope is that we’re always getting better, both as a chapter and as an advisory board,” says Lisa. “We are all learning as we go. Even people who have been advising for a while have to keep in mind that the women coming to college each year are different: their experiences, their expectations, their commitments and their goals. Even though we are an organization with deep-rooted traditions, we all have to be willing to try new ways of doing things and embrace changes.” “Seeing the overall growth of the chapter for the past few years has been amazing,” says Lisa. “I look forward to more progress by this chapter, its house corporation board and advisory team and hope for some spectacular results by our 100-year anniversary in 2010 … It has been a great partnership!” ALPHA PHI

Reunions Sisters Meet Annually for Decades
Pictured with their spouses are Beta Tau sisters who have enjoyed annual reunions for the past 30 years.
Indiana (BS) sisters have held weekend reunions every summer since they graduated in 1973.
Leslie Kafoure Baas (BS-Indiana) writes: “Friends are always amazed when we tell them how long we have been gathering, and we are often asked how we have managed to keep this up … If there is a secret to it, it is this: just do it. Do it because you want to share the joys of your life with the women who helped shape it. Do it because you need to share the sorrow of your life with the women who can help you through it. Do it because you need a weekend of pure fun with women who make you laugh. Do it because when college days are over, you still want to be with your forever friends, your Phi friends.”
ASHLAND ALUMNAE REUNITE
Four Ashland (EA) members enjoy reuniting in Chicago after 32 years. Pictured at a Naperville, Ill., park during the fall are (from left): Almarose Uhlman Sharpe, Dorcas Hunter Dillingham, Jane Soubusta Levstik and Debby Bryden Gray.
Small World Phis Connect by Chance in Sweden
Judy told Kristen her story of losing touch with her pledge class, but reconnecting when sisters rallied around one woman’s fight with breast cancer. Now, they meet for a weekend reunion every summer. Judy shared one thing she had learned: no matter where life takes you after graduation, Alpha Phis share a special bond, and it only takes a phone call to reconnect.
Judy Stevens and Kristen Otterson meet at the top of the city hall tower in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sophomore Kristen Otterson (M-Nebraska) visited Sweden for two weeks in June as part of an economics course comparing the status of women in the U.S. and Sweden. One afternoon, Kristen wore an Alpha Phi rain jacket as she and other women from her class took in the sights of Stockholm. They arrived at city hall just half an hour before the attraction closed and raced up the tower, which was nearly deserted. Judy Nelson Stevens ( -Michigan) noticed Kristen’s letters and approached the group. “It was the only day the entire trip I wore my jacket,” Kristen says. “It’s one thing to run into an Alpha Phi at the grocery store, but halfway around the world!” FALL 2003
Sharing the Same Path

SISTERS SERVE ON SAME BOARD
Quarterly Designer Michelle Webb (B∆-UCLA), who serves on her son’s preschool parent board, was excited to discover that between outgoing and incoming Kolbe’s Korner Preschool boards, there are five Alpha Phis. Pictured are Debbie Leggett Harrington (EY-CSU/Northridge), Jennifer Rennecker Ardy (ZΠ-Case Western Reserve and ZXColumbia), Michelle Webb, Marisa Gutierrez Hoff (B∆-UCLA), and Kim Funaki Burke (HH-Seton Hall).
Katie Weimer (F -Santa Clara) and Katie Chan (E -CSU/Sacramento) had similar life paths, but did not realize it until they met at graduate school. Both women were originally from Sacramento, lived in the same apartment complex at the same time and attended CSU/Sacramento at the same time. They finally met last fall when both began to pursue doctorates of physical therapy at USC. “After moving to new surroundings, it was comforting to know there was a sister a few seats down to share the experience,” says Katie Chan.

Take it to Heart For more than 50 years, women’s cardiac care has been close to Alpha Phi’s heart. Through its Cardiac Care Fund, Alpha Phi Foundation annually makes grants to cutting-edge research and innovative education programs that lead the way to save women’s lives. This year’s $25,000 grant winner is Mercy Medical Center in Mason City, Iowa. Mercy will continue its Sister to Sister educational outreach program, made possible by both the 2002 and 2003 Cardiac Care Awards.
Dr. Susan Sieh, left, is medical director of Mercy Women’s Health Center in Mason City, Iowa.
Sister to Sister: A Woman’s Heart is a traveling program that features interactive stations. Participants meet doctors, nurses, health educators and cardiac disease survivors to learn ways to best care for their hearts. Now the Foundation brings Sister to Sister to the pages of the Quarterly. We asked Mercy Medical Center experts to answer the questions weighing on women’s hearts. Meet Susan Sieh, M.D., medical director of Mercy’s Women’s Health Center, and Sandi Birchem, D.O., internist and cardiology resident at Mercy. How do I know if I’m at risk to develop heart disease? Dr. Sieh: Almost everyone is “at risk.” A woman is at increased risk if she has high blood pressure, high lipids, is overweight, leads a sedentary lifestyle, smokes, has diabetes or has a family history of heart disease.
During my annual exam, my doctor didn’t mention heart disease. Dr. Sieh: You should bring it up if your doctor doesn’t. You need to know your “numbers:” What is your blood pressure? Cholesterol? HDL level? LDL level? Triglycerides? Glucose?
I’m a busy working mother with little time to exercise. How much exercise do I need to keep my heart healthy? Dr. Sieh: You need about 30 minutes a day, but it doesn’t have to be all at once. There’s probably a lot of walking and lifting involved in your life – it
PA G E F O RT Y- T W O
all counts. Take the kids for a walk, play outside, run races with them. They like to imitate you – do exercises and have them follow along.
Must I give up all my favorite foods to have a healthy heart? Dr. Sieh: Moderation is key. If you really crave a food, have a little. Sometimes if you keep eating other things to make up for that craving, you end up eating more. Eat well-balanced meals that are low in fat and eat less simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are foods like white sugar, white flour and white rice. Eat more complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, grains and beans.
I’m in my early 20s. I don’t need to be worried about heart disease because it affects only older women, right? Dr. Birchem: Wrong. I have cared for women as young as age 21 who had chest pains and even a heart attack. If you have any risk factors, you are at risk.
My Dad had heart surgery. Does that mean he has heart disease? Am I at risk too? Dr. Sieh: If your father had an angioplasty (balloon of the arteries) or coronary artery bypass graft, he has heart disease. That would put you at increased risk, and you should discuss it with your physician. If he had surgery on a valve, you are not at increased risk.
What are the symptoms of a heart attack? Dr. Birchem: Women often times present different symptoms than men. Usually, patients feel some form of chest pain or heaviness, or an unexplained shortness of breath. But at times you will hear women say, “I had no clue I was having heart attack and I
almost died.” It’s important to recognize symptoms and get medical attention. Dr. Sieh: Women often have atypical symptoms: shoulder pain, shortness of breath, pain anywhere in the chest, dizziness. It makes it hard to diagnose. (Note to readers: If you experience ANY of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. It can save your life or the life of a loved one.)
What kinds of things can I do each day to reduce my risk of developing heart disease? Dr. Sieh: Don’t smoke. Be active. Move. Eat well-balanced meals. Get your numbers checked and if they are high, make changes.
Look for more information about Sister to Sister in future Foundation publications. Nominate a project close to your heart to win the 2004 Cardiac Care Award. Or contact a worthy program in your area – qualified institutions can now self-nominate. Contact Foundation Development Associate Sara Kite (P-Ohio State) at 847.475.4532 for more information or to request an application.
Dr. Sandi Birchem, right, is an internist and cardiology resident at Mercy Women’s Health Center.

“Heart disease? But I’m only 20.” For years, the Alpha Phi Foundation has been spreading the word that heart disease is the numberone killer of American women, annually taking the lives of more women than all types of cancer combined.
Now we have another important message: young women need to be concerned, too. A recommendation from the American Heart Association urges everyone to see a doctor for a simple heart-disease risk assessment, starting at age 20.
February 9-13 is Alpha Phi’s Cardiac Care Week. Be a part of it.
Cardiovascular disease can strike any woman, at any time. But it can be prevented, too. Talk to your doctor to find out how. And support the Alpha Phi Foundation—you’ll do a heart good.
POSTMASTER: Please send changes to Alpha Phi, 1930 Sherman Ave., Evanston, IL 60201
