Dear Sisters, If I could grant just one wish for all Alpha Phis, it would be to witness Phyllis Sims Selig (Gamma Delta-Kansas) perform our ritual. She recites words written 138 years ago like they were her own. Listening to her, it’s easy to imagine the year is 1872, and you are in Syracuse, N.Y., standing next to Martha at Alpha Phi’s very first initiation.

Knowing that I would have big shoes to fill, as soon as I was installed as president, I embarked on a thorough review of the ritual. Initially, it was my intention to simply acquaint myself with the beautiful but unfamiliar Victorian language. It wasn’t long, however, before I began to wonder about the meaning of the words.

Our Founders knew that building support would be important to their success as college students. I believe they also knew for their dream to survive the test of time, they had to inspire an even deeper meaning to their friendship.

Our ritual describes the friendship we share in Alpha Phi as eternal. The constellation, one of our most revered symbols, was chosen by our Founders to remind us of sisters who have passed away and symbolizes for each of us – no matter where we go on earth – the sacred relationship that holds our hearts together. Ever wonder why friendships in Alpha Phi are among your most special? Sure, it has to do with the wonderful time in life when most of us meet. But more than that, our Founders were successful in that the Alpha Phi experience inspires a profound sense of loyalty and dedication not found in the average friendship.

Our ritual talks about lending a helping hand to one another and the spirit of love and charity. These concepts are cornerstones in our Fraternity. From these words and from the desire to be a positive force in society, Alpha Phi found her place in the world of philanthropy and once again, brought a deeper meaning to our friendship. When we come together as friends to do good, we demonstrate that our friendship matters not only to us, but to the world.

Despite my best efforts and my deeper understanding of our ritual, my performance still pales in comparison to that of my friend and mentor, Phyllis.

What I lack in grace, I hope I make up for in genuine love and enthusiasm for the beauty of the ceremony.

One thing is for certain.

Regardless of who presides over initiation, the words and their meaning are powerful.

This is no accident and doesn’t happen by chance. This happens by design and by Linda Boland with CSU/San Bernardino (Eta Beta) collegiate officers during a Red Dress event. choice since 1872.

Alpha Phi Toujours,

Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSU/Long Beach) International President

Regional Leadership Conferences

More than 1,400 chapter officers and advisors from 151 collegiate

chapters and two colonies across North America attended Regional Leadership Conferences in the Fraternity’s eight regions.

Alpha Phi International has hosted these annual conferences for more than 10 years to provide the tools and training necessary for collegiate officers and advisors to effectively lead their chapters. The conferences are adjusted each year to meet the changing needs and interests of the participants, and the regional teams are challenged to create an environment in which collegiate members and their advisors are engaged and excited about their learning.

“When the women are excited about what they are learning, they are more likely to share the information with their chapter members and more likely to successfully implement what they have learned in their chapters,” says Denise Jung Reens (Epsilon Delta-Northern Illinois), director of training, development and communications.

Dual track advisor programming, innovative and interactive collegiate programming and powerful speakers provided robust educational programming. Red Dress gala dinners, regional awards presentations and T-shirt auctions to benefit the Alpha Phi Foundation ignited a sense of pride and accomplishment among participants.

 The Southwest region embraces the theme of “Remember,

Reconnect, Renew” by having each chapter create a centerpiece reflecting their unique interpretation of the theme.

“I found the conversations with the advisors, regional team members and staff very helpful.”

- Collegiate conference attendee

“It was very helpful to meet with other chapters, to share best practices and to see Alpha Phi in a larger scope.” - Collegiate conference attendee “We could not be more proud of our Fraternity or of you, our collegiate chapter leaders.”

- Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa- CSU/Long Beach), International president

 Welcome Video: What could be more

impressive than to be welcomed to your conference and encouraged to get the most out of the experience by the entire International Executive Board? A video produced especially for Regional Conferences made it happen.

“This video was excellent. It made the International Executive Board more tangible.” - Collegiate conference attendee

 A Canadian Conference Day was held in January in Kitchener, Ontario. Seventy collegians and advisors representing Wilfrid Laurier (Iota Theta), Toronto (Xi), Western Ontario (Theta Eta) and Bishop’s (Eta Chi) attended the day of programming and networking. More than $300 was raised for the Alpha Phi Foundation through a raffle and silent auction. Pictured, Xi chapter collegians give a recruitment presentation.

 The Northeast conference theme of “Remember, Reconnect, Renew” was key for making Alpha Phi’s history come alive for its participants.

Organized by the regional team and SUNY/Cortland (Eta Tau) chapter advisor Katy Canning (Alpha-Syracuse), a guided tour led participants through the Syracuse (Alpha) chapter house, the university campus and Oakwood Cemetery near campus where four Founders and their mentor, Dr. Wesley P. Coddington, are buried.

The tour included a historical perspective of Alpha’s original chapter house, a room by room tour of the current chapter house with descriptions of memorabilia and significant items, a walk to the Hall of Languages where a plaque honoring the Alpha Phi Founders hangs and a walk past the Bell Tower where sisters played the Crouse College Chimes from 1943-46 while the men were at war. The tour culminated with a walk to Oakwood Cemetery. Katy Canning, former collegiate president Claire Wietig (Alpha-Syracuse) and current collegiate president Chelsea Damberg (Alpha-Syracuse) located and cleaned the gravestones of Founders Clara Sittser Williams, Florence Chidester Lukens, Kate Hogoboom Gilbert, Martha Foote Crow and Dr. Coddington and placed forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley at each gravestone.

 Northeast region chapter advisors lead a team building exercise.

“I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the history tour was.

It was one of the best Alpha Phi experiences I’ve had.”

– Collegian who attended the Northeast Regional Conference

 Upper Midwest region:

Sunday morning was devoted to reconnecting to the Alpha Phi ritual and history, complete with a visit from the Founders. Upper Midwest regional team members donned vintage hats to portray each of the 10 Founders.

Light Fixture This modern light fixture updates the room and gives a unique look.

The uncovered bulbs provide plenty of light for studying.

Window Treatments Antonio selected and installed these sheer gray Roman shades from 3 Day Blinds.

They help achieve the sophisticated look he was going for in the formal banquet room. Replacing boring mini blinds with these fabric shades instantly elevated the room’s style and added visual warmth.

custom built table Antonio designed a 20-foot-long mahogany banquet table. The work was custom machined by Real Door Inc. Antonio visited Art Laser Engineering and had the Alpha Phi crest laser etched into pieces of wood that he then inlaid into the table and benches.

before The Alpha Phi chapter house at CSU/Northridge was in bad shape. Only six members live in, but all 115 women use the house. HGTV “The Antonio Treatment” host Antonio Ballatore meets 2010 Chapter President Kathi Perrella and 2010 Vice President Program Development Yukiko Sonoyama. Antonio focused on the two main living areas. Both were beige, boring and crowded with mismatched couches. The common areas were run-down and did not match the chapter’s fun personality.

The CSU/Northridge (Epsilon Upsilon) chapter was recently featured on an HGTV episode of “The Antonio Treatment.”

Collegians, who worked with their house corporation board to apply for the makeover, were thrilled with the results.

How was Alpha Phi portrayed?

“After seeing the episode completed, I find myself astonished by how much of Alpha Phi’s tradition and facts Antonio mentioned throughout the show and incorporated in his design.

I don’t think he could have put us in a better light.”

^^ Interviewed with HGTV. ^^ C ollaborated with Executive Office to obtain approval.* ^^ H ired attorney to review contracts. ^^ C onsulted with Antonio on design priorities. ^^ W orked with live-in members to inform them of expectations during the week of filming. ^^ U pdated chapter members at weekly meetings. * Prior approval must be obtained from the Alpha Phi International executive director for any media and/or television appearance that features Alpha Phi chapters or Alpha Phi collegians.

What was it like?

“It was strange seeing myself on the big screen, but this was definitely a once-in-alifetime opportunity I was so happy I got to experience with Alpha Phi.” - Yukiko Sonoyama, 2010 vice president program development

Who did all the work?

Antonio Ballatore, host of “The Antonio Treatment,” is the season 4 winner of HGTV’s “Design Star.” He believes in big and bold transformation.

Antonio and his crew helped the women remove all the contents of the two rooms. They worked for three days, with each crew member assigned to one project.

For Antonio, design is collaborative.

He likes seeing his crew take a project a step beyond the initial concept.

What was done?

“We received so many things in return from the show: positive advertising, new flooring, window coverings, light fixtures, freshly painted walls, our TV was mounted, a custom couch, tables custom engraved with Alpha Phi insignia and an outside privacy area on our balcony with patio tables and chairs.”

Frances E. Willard

Day of Service

I

Launches March 2012

In 1875, Alpha Phi International Fraternity welcomed its first alumna initiate, Frances E. Willard, a champion of social change - especially for women. She went on to serve as our 16th International president and became a notable reformer and suffragist. In March 2012, we will honor Miss Willard’s spirit of service with the introduction of the Frances E. Willard Day of Service.

This one-day event is designed to involve all Alpha Phi collegiate chapters in the advancement of women’s issues while gaining a greater understanding of the impact service can have on an individual, a family, an entire community. Knowing that every school and community has its own unique assets, needs and challenges, each chapter will select a service project that best fits the interests of its members and the needs of women in the community.

“It is always wonderful to give back to the community.

We look forward to partaking in more events with the Girl Scouts in the future.”

– Jillian Smith, Eta Alpha chapter president and pilot participant

Chapters will be encouraged to invite local alumnae to participate in projects. In an effort to heighten awareness of Alpha Phi’s history and Miss Willard’s work to advance women, the Day of Service will be held each March during Women’s History Month on a date of each chapter’s choosing.

The Frances E. Willard Day of Service is the culmination of a two-year pilot program coordinated by Fraternity staff and volunteer Carolyn LeBaugh Gregg (Eta Psi-Eastern Washington). Collegiate chapters of varying demographics from each region were selected to participate and chose their own projects that ranged from 20

education and self-esteem to domestic violence and body image.

All chapters are invited to participate in the launch of this program, with the first project to be held in March 2012.

Additionally, alumnae are being sought to serve as Day of Service coordinators to help guide chapters.

Project Coordinator Carolyn Gregg said, “The project is a great way to share a piece of Alpha Phi and women’s history with our members. It is also important to share the value and importance of service with other women for the betterment of all women.”

Director of Collegiate Operations J.D. Louk, who developed the project with Carolyn, added, “There is still a great deal to be done for equality between men and women, but if each chapter can help one or two women find a place to feel safe or more secure within themselves, we will be doing a great service and also providing honor to the Fraternity and the work of Miss Willard.”

If your chapter would like to participate in the Frances E. Willard Day of Service, please contact J.D. Louk at jdlouk@alphaphi.org. If you are an alumna interested in serving as a Day of Service coordinator, please contact Carolyn Gregg at cgregg@alphaphi.org.

Extension Update

Iota Omicron Chapter Installed at WPI

On April 2, 2011, Alpha Phi International Fraternity celebrated the installation of its Iota Omicron chapter at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass.

Alpha Phi International accepted the invitation to colonize in October, participated in formal recruitment in

November and officially colonized at the end of January.

WPI installation events began Friday night with the court of ivy ceremony held on campus in Higgins House, where local alumnae joined.

Initiation ensued Saturday morning at Mechanics Hall in downtown Worcester, where Alpha Phi welcomed 67 initiates and three alumnae initiates into the chapter.

Later that afternoon, a successful installation banquet took place at Mechanics Hall, with more than 160 guests in attendance including parents, local alumnae and

members of the WPI Greek community.

At the reception, Kim Norton-O’Brien (Zeta Rho-Bentley) presented the chapter with a $1,000 check for the University of Massachusetts Memorial Hospital on behalf of the Alpha Phi Foundation. The check was graciously accepted by Lauren Laboissonniere, Iota Omicron director of philanthropy, and a staff member at UMass Memorial. The chapter has also received more than $700 in welcome donations from collegiate and alumnae chapters across North America.

“It has been really exciting to see the development of both the colony and the colony members,” says Team Lead Samantha Lott Hale (Delta Nu-Maine) about the chapter. “The members recognize and appreciate the importance of their role in laying a foundation for the new chapter and are strongly committed to Alpha Phi’s success.”

Alpha Phi and the Iota Omicron chapter are thankful for the support throughout the colonization and installation process.

Congratulations to all members of Iota Omicron!

Gamma Phi Chapter Re-Installed at Florida State University On March 19, 2011, Alpha Phi International Fraternity celebrated the re-installation of its Gamma Phi chapter at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla. The chapter was originally installed in May of 1959, and in April of 2010, Alpha Phi accepted an invitation to recolonize.

The weekend kicked off with the court of ivy ceremony held in Miller Hall, the location of Alpha Phi’s preference six months ago, and the place where many new initiates received their bids.

Initiation followed Saturday at St. John’s Episcopal Church, where Alpha Phi welcomed 146 initiates, including five alumnae initiates, into the chapter.

A successful installation banquet took place the following day at the Golden Eagle Country Club with more than 300

guests and numerous Gamma Phi alumnae in attendance.

Highlights included a $1,000 donation to the Pace Center for Girls from the Alpha Phi Foundation on behalf of Gamma Phi, a generous donation to the Foundation from Gamma Phi members, and $2,000 dollars in welcome donations from a wide range of collegiate and alumnae chapters for Gamma Phi’s ritual equipment.

Local alumnae chapters assembled ceremonial flowers, and alumna Mary “Phi” Gardner Flanagan (Gamma Phi-Florida State) spoke about her pride for the chapter: “You have no idea the excitement I felt 16 months ago when I heard Alpha Phi was thinking of returning to Florida State.

As I met these women last spring, their energy was just amazing, and I knew it was going to happen!”

Alpha Phi and the Gamma Phi chapter are thankful for the support throughout the colonization and re-installation process.

Congratulations to all alumnae and new initiates of Gamma Phi!

2011 Heart to Heart Grant Awarded

O

On May 12, representatives from Alpha Phi Foundation traveled to Kansas City, Mo., to present the 2011 Heart to Heart Grant to St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.

The presentation of the $50,000 check was the finale at St. Luke’s annual Accessorize Your Heart benefit, emceed by Food Network’s Sandra Lee and attended by 450 supporters. The following morning, the Foundation hosted a breakfast with local alumnae that included remarks from Marcia McCoy, director of the Muriel I. Kauffman Women’s Heart Center at St. Luke’s, and testimonials from women who participated in the Center’s Women in Training program.

St. Luke’s will use the Heart to Heart Grant to evolve its Women in Training program, an eight-week community outreach program that helps more than 700 women each year increase their participation in the day-to-day management of their heart health and also that of their families. The program involves baseline cardiac blood testing and results counseling, as well as weekly health education lectures followed by one-hour physical activity sessions. Women who have initial abnormal test results will repeat their cardiac blood testing and receive a six-month follow up.

“Raising awareness of women’s heart health is important,” said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State), Alpha

Phi Foundation executive director.

“We believe our investment in testing and education will go a step further by affecting results that help women stay motivated to develop heart-healthy diets and lifestyles.”

In 1994, Saint Luke’s Hospital established the first women’s heart center of its Foundation Executive Director Ann Carstensen, front, second from left, presents the kind in the country – Heart to Heart Grant check to Susan Godfrey Melton (Gamma Xi-Wichita State), senior the Muriel I.

W  Martha Foote Crow, c. 1876. “She never preached, she never lectured,” Carrie Jones Sauber (Alpha-Syracuse) remembered of Martha.

“She just believed in a thing and enthused. She had hitched her wagon to a star long before she had heard the expression.”

Priceless Gifts The Establishment of the Martha Foote Crow Student Loan Fund

When Founder Martha Foote Crow (Alpha-Syracuse) passed into the Silent Chapter on New Year’s Day in 1924, Alpha Phi “experienced the greatest loss in its history,” according to President Winifred Goodsmith Richardson (Beta-Northwestern).

Martha Foote Crow, beloved by all who knew her, played a pivotal role in the founding and shaping of the Fraternity; she devoted her life to inspiring those who walked the trail she and others had blazed for women seeking higher education.

From teaching to writing, her work was widely recognized among those in academic and literary circles and women’s organizations. Having held numerous teaching and administrative posts at colleges and universities, including Northwestern University and the University of Chicago, she was a significant player in the field of higher education, helping found the Association of Collegiate Alumnae (now known as the American Association of University Women).

Her devotion to Alpha Phi was well known. She attended Convention whenever she could, visited collegiate and alumnae chapters, and always captivated her audiences of students who “begged to hear again the story, old, but ever new to some, of the beginnings of Alpha Phi,” as Carrie Jones Sauber (Alpha-Syracuse), Alpha Phi’s first visiting delegate, recalled.

When she passed away, she left an indelible mark on the Fraternity she loved so deeply. As Cora Allen McElroy (BetaNorthwestern), past president of Alpha Phi, stated, “Alpha Phi will ever revere her name and treasure her priceless gifts to the Fraternity.”

Two years before she passed away, Martha Foote Crow left a tangible gift: her very own engagement ring, which she donated to the Fraternity on the occasion of its 50th anniversary in order to launch a fund for “educational and altruistic purposes.”

This final gift to Alpha Phi was more than an act of generosity: it was an articulation of

Martha Foote Crow’s beliefs. For, she knew first hand the value of education, and her life was devoted to ensuring that women had access to earning college degrees. The Martha Foote Crow Student Loan Fund was thus established, eventually becoming the “Founders’ Loan Fund” in 1934.

The fund provided loans to students in need of financial assistance in order to continue their studies, and it also provided aid to chapters in building or maintaining their chapter houses. Collegiate and alumnae chapters as well as individuals built up the fund’s capital through the pledging of donations. Ultimately, this fund and others would spur the establishment of the Alpha Phi Foundation in 1956.

The idea of giving back was, after all, one of the cornerstones of the Fraternity. And over the years, Alpha Phi had articulated that idea in countless ways.

In an 1888 Alpha Phi Quarterly article, titled “College Girls and Philanthropy,” Jane Bancroft Robinson (Alpha-Syracuse) observed: “‘Noblesse oblige’ is the right motto for women so highly privileged as are the women college graduates of the nineteenth century.”

From establishing loan funds and memorial scholarships to working for volunteer organizations, Alpha Phi members had taken up the cause of helping others since the Fraternity’s first years.

In such philanthropic efforts, Martha Foote Crow’s ideals were reflected. “Alpha Phi owes her much,” Founder Louise Shepard Hancock (Alpha-Syracuse) wrote in tribute to “Our Mattie.” She had the “vision of a dreamer,” Louise remembered. She was “our idealist.”

Carrie Jones Sauber summed up Martha’s attitude about how to live life: “Keep your eyes on the stars, live for others, work for the best things, thus will your life be filled with happiness, and you will be paid with a coin that never depreciates.”

As the Fraternity suffered its great loss, President Winifred Goodsmith Richardson pledged that the “spirit of Martha Foote

Crow will go marching on as long as truth and faith, hope and charity, love and beauty endure and as long as Alpha Phi carries out the precepts of her Founders, making them vital forces in human lives.”
