RECONNECT. . . n

Alpha Phi “TO DO” List:

Recon

e to

• Tell family I love them – out loud

• Reconnect with Alpha Phi sisters TODAY! Does your “to do” list look anything like mine? Probably. Family is important to us. Being the best we can is high on the list. Tackling monumental projects doesn’t faze us. And feeling guilty because we haven’t stayed close enough, active enough, in Alpha Phi is common. That’s why “reconnecting with Alpha Phi” is important. This issue is about important connections in our lives. Jean Cameron Tindall The feature on organ donation reminds us about connecting with those who come after us. The information about recruitment reminds us of our very first connections to Alpha Phi which, for most of us, came during our college years. The legacy article reminds us of the important, and often emotional, connection a family can make with Alpha Phi. Alumnae articles are about reconnecting, and that brings me back to my list. I began to think about my Gamma Nu sisters at Miami University. I remember my college years with fondness. Laughing together. Crying on each others’ shoulders. Pulling all-nighters. Sharing the beautiful ritual of Alpha Phi. But we haven’t kept in touch, dear sisters, have we? So now I’m asking Gamma Nus who were in school with me (1964–1966) to write or e-mail me. My address is on the inside front cover of this magazine. Tell me about yourself. Reconnect. I’ll put all our news into one big letter and send it off to everyone! Reconnecting. It’s simple. Let’s do it!

CONN Connect E Cto Those TIN WhoG Come . .After . You: Become an Organ Donor By Christine Spiegel

On May 5, 1999, Kelly Cox (DD-Oklahoma City) made the most difficult decision of her young life … and it saved the lives of four strangers.

“It didn’t make sense to not donate her organs.”

Doctors declared Kelly’s mother, Suzanne, brain dead (see sidebar), a victim of a tornado that ripped through her home days earlier. “The specialists said I had two options,” Kelly says. “They could keep her alive on the ventilator and donate her organs. Or we could take her off and she would inevitably stop breathing on her own. Then they wouldn’t be able to use Suzanne and Kelly Cox her organs.” Kelly, an only child whose father died when she was 3, knew what choice her mother would make, she says. “It didn’t make sense to not donate her organs,” she says.

BRAIN DEATH VS. HEART DEATH: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? A person declared brain dead has lost brain function or suffered irreversible brain damage. Often kept alive only by life support, the body inevitably dies as well. The heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas may all be donated, benefiting up to six people. Heart death is when the heart and lungs stop functioning. A person in this situation can be a tissue donor, but not an organ donor. Tissues that can be donated include eyes (cornea), heart valves, saphenous vein (for bypass surgery), skin and bone (for knee, hip and joint replacement). A tissue donor can help almost 100 people!

PAGE TWO

About two months later, Kelly saw 24-year-old Dana Pritchett and her son in a television interview about those affected by the deaths of Oklahoma’s tornado victims. Dana was alive because she received Suzanne’s liver. “I had nearly 20 years with my mom,” says Kelly. “I’m glad this little boy will have much longer with his.” Suzanne’s kidneys and corneas were donated. “I also got a letter from the recipient of her heart, which was really strange. What do you say?” Kelly reflects. “My mom saved four lives.” Share Your Intentions Kelly says she knew her mother would want her to donate her organs. But families don’t always know of their loved ones’ wishes, says Kathryn Woody Driskill ( I-Texas Tech), a registered nurse and former transplant coordinator for LifeGift Organ Donation in West Texas, one of 59 organ procurement organizations in the U.S. (see sidebar).

Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are nonprofit organizations responsible for identification and care of organ donors, organ retrieval and preservation, transportation and data follow-up. OPO staff members work with donor families and educate medical staff and the general public about donation. Some OPOs also are involved in tissue (bone, skin, heart valves) donation.

CARRYING ON FOR A SISTER Northern Illinois (E∆) chapter sponsored a Mud Olympics event to honor sister Connie Schweitzer in April. Wellness tables were set up to promote organ donation, and sisters passed out organ donor pamphlets and urged Greeks to sign their driver’s licenses to indicate they are donors.

“The most important thing a person can do is tell her family she wants to be a donor. Then sign her donor card and/or driver’s license,” she explains. Because of the shortage of donors in the U.S., some states are trying to pass presumed consent legislation that would make all people donors, Kathryn says. “The Netherlands has such a system. It requires a person to sign [a driver’s license or donor card] not to be a donor.” Sister’s Memory and Message Live On Connie Schweitzer (E -Northern Illinois), diagnosed in 1992 with a rare lung disease, became an advocate for organ donation while awaiting a lung and heart transplant. Connie passed away June 7, 2000, at the age of 23. She was next on the Mayo Clinic’s organ donation list. “It hurts to know that a crusader for organ donation couldn’t survive because there were no organs for her,” says Kelli Kubic McDonald (E Northern Illinois), a sister whose wedding Connie was to be a bridesmaid in last fall. Connie visited schools, social groups and community organizations to promote organ donation. She spoke with Illinois Gov. George Ryan just a month before her death to applaud his efforts in promoting organ donation, and she worked on a public-service announcement.

SUMMER 2001

“Connie had to leave the university because of her illness, but she always returned for visits and to speak about organ donation. Because of Connie, when I turned 21 I became an organ donor,” says Christina Wiech (E -Northern Illinois). Epsilon Delta sisters paid special tribute to Connie in April with an event in her honor (see above photo). “She was a wonderful sister who lived her life to the fullest,” says Christina. “I hope her message encourages Alpha Phis around the world to consider this life-saving gift.”

“Because of Connie, when I turned 21 I became an organ donor.”

CONNECTING TO THE COMMUNITY

Support the Cause: Save a Life Each day about 60 people receive an organ transplant, but another 15 people on the waiting list die because not enough organs are available. As of June, more than 75,000 patients nationally were awaiting life-saving donations (some patients are waiting for more than one organ). What can you do? • Sign the organ and tissue donor information on your driver’s license and/or donor card. Encourage those close to you to do the same. For donor cards, call any of the donor and transplant organizations on the resource list (see sidebar) or download at www.organdonor.gov/signup1.html.

HELP FOR A NEW HEART Creighton (Θ∆) used the Alpha Phi Foundation Community Contributions Policy to donate more than $1,500 to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in Bloomington, Ind. Funds helped Sarah, a COTA fund recipient in Omaha, Neb., get a heart transplant. “We are glad we could help a woman with heart problems, since that is the Foundation’s focus. Through community contributions, we could make a difference locally,” says chapter president Alicia Beshaler. COTA’s mission is to ensure no U.S. citizen is ever denied a life-saving transplant or access to a transplant waiting list, due solely to the lack of funds. It also promotes organ donations and provides public education on the organ donation process. For more information, call 800.366.COTA or visit www.cota.org/.

Myths

• Tell your family about your wish to be a donor. • Donate your time or money to the cause— one way is through the Alpha Phi Foundation’s Community Contributions Policy (see sidebar). • Contribute to agencies that research diseases and promote organ donation. • Educate yourself about organ donation/transplant and teach others. Help dispel myths.

PAGE FOUR

Myths and misconceptions cause donor shortages. Here are the facts: Myth: A traveling businessman blacks out after having drinks with a stranger and wakes up in a bathtub full of ice with staples in his back from having his kidneys surgically removed. Fact: This is an urban legend. There is no black market for organs. Also, the incision used to remove a kidney is located on the side of the body, never on the back. Third, placing a donor in a tub of ice is pointless and actually could cause harm.

Myth: You can sell your organs. Fact: It is illegal to buy and sell human organs in the United States (National Organ Transplant Act Public Law 98-507).

Myth: The rich and famous get preferential treatment on the national organ waiting list. Fact: Patients are matched to donor organs based on a number of factors: blood and tissue typing, medical urgency, time on the waiting list and geographical location. In addition, patients are not listed by name. The organ distribution system makes it highly unlikely that individuals will receive organs solely because they are rich and famous.

LIVING DONORS ALSO SAVE LIVES In addition to cadaveric donation (the donor is dead), it also is possible to be a living donor. Carolyn Casper Delaney (N-Nebraska) donated one of her kidneys to her son, Jordan, in 1998. Jordan has a rare and fatal kidney disease that has caused progressive degeneration since he was six months old. Now 15, Carolyn says of her son, “With few complaints, he has taken the challenge of a kidney disease, transplant and daily medication in stride. He is a happy, healthier boy due to the gift of a new kidney.” (See Spring 2001 Quarterly for more about Carolyn Delaney.)

Myth: There are age limits on donation. Fact: Whether individuals can donate organs and tissue depends on their physical condition, not age. Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ donors. However, individuals under 18 who wish to donate must obtain consent from a parent or guardian.

Myth: Donation will mutilate my body. Fact: Donated organs are removed surgically in a routine operation similar to gallbladder or appendix removal. Donation doesn’t disfigure the body or change the way it looks in a casket.

Myth: I might want to only donate one or some of my organs, but not everything. Fact: You may specify what organs may be donated. Your wishes

“The most important thing a person can do is tell her family she wants to be a donor and sign her donor card and/or driver’s license.”

Myth: My family will be charged for donating my organs. Fact: Donation costs the donor’s family or estate nothing. Organ Procurement Organizations pay all bills from the point a person is pronounced brain dead until the funeral.

Myth: I don’t need to tell my family that I want to be a donor because I have instructions written in my will.

Fact: By the time your will is read, it will be too late to recover your organs. Telling your family now is the best way to ensure your wishes are carried out.

CONN RUSH E2001: C TTheI Evolution N G .of Collegiate . . Recruitment By Megan Bouché (E-Minnesota)

FORMAL RECRUITMENT Formal recruitment is when Alpha Phi seeks new members during a period specified by a campus, usually a week-long event. All Greek groups o Re conn t participate. e e m Its style varies from campus to campus. Some allow no decorations. Others permit KNOW SOMEONE w elaborate displays – ith GOING TO COLLEGE Ph a A h l p even papering walls to THIS FALL? Tell her about Alpha Phi. create the illusion of Then submit a Potential Member Introduction form distant locales. (page 11). Most chapters host a “philanthropy day” to introduce potential members to the Alpha Phi Foundation and its support of cardiac aid.

Idea #2

In 1990 Rhonda Rushee went to Greek houses on her campus, Alpha Phi among them, and met chapter women dressed alike with teased hair. She was entertained by “Little Mermaid” skits at frilly rush parties. Now it’s 2001. Paula Prospective meets members in shiny black pants, Jimmy Choo stilettos and sleek hair styles. MTV-inspired entertainment and pared-down decorations are the norm. Styles and terms change, but the basic elements of recruitment – the lifeline of our Fraternity – remain. Collegiate new members are the most important source of growth to Alpha Phi. Last year, the Fraternity welcomed nearly 4,000 young women to membership through collegiate chapters. Here’s how it was done:

Rush trends evolve with time, but the concept remains.

Some chapters offer skits; others give house tours. Videos or Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations often are used with music in the background. Every Alpha Phi chapter sets out to “wow” potential members with conversation and friendship. CONTINUOUS OPEN BIDDING (COB) COB is the process of recruiting new members all year, in addition to the formal period. Following campus and National Panhellenic Conference rules, chapters can offer membership to women at any time during the school year. Chapters use COB to enhance their membership and keep a competitive edge.

Remember when it was acceptable to ask a potential member how much her father earned? The rules have changed.

RECRUITMENT RESOURCES

CHANGE IN TERMINOLOGY The words used during recruitment have changed recently to present a more professional impression to those outside the Greek world: Panhellenics refer to “rushees” as potential members. “Rush parties” are now recruitment events. Potential members sign formal membership recruitment acceptance forms instead of “bid cards.” We welcome new members and new member classes to membership, not “pledges” and “pledge classes.” These new terms help future members understand this important, time-honored tradition of Greek life. YOUR IMPORTANCE Each Alpha Phi member – collegian and alumna – plays a role in the recruitment process. For collegians, recruitment is a time to meet new friends, introduce them to our organization and make them sisters. Alumnae add to the process by providing chapter support or sending chapters legacy and recommendation introductions. The process of pledging new members continues to distinguish Greeks from other campus organizations. Members learn a variety of skills during rush – to make articulate conversation, build confidence, come to consensus, present themselves and their organization positively and think personally about what Alpha Phi means to them. White Keds and slouch socks might be replaced with flip-flops and dark denim, but during recruitment we still offer a piece of Alpha Phi and ourselves to each potential member.

Linda Long Boland (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach) Director of Collegiate Membership Alpha Phi position description: Direct the efforts of the collegiate membership department which is responsible for all aspects of collegiate chapter membership, including extension, recruitment, educational leadership consultant program and collegiate chapter operations. The most rewarding part of my job is: working with Alpha Phi volunteers. The Fraternity is fortunate to count many outstanding alumnae as chapter advisers, regional team and committee members. They are a joy to work with, and I learn a lot from them. If I didn’t work for Alpha Phi, I’d: be an Alpha Phi volunteer. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: I have many. Gamma Kappa won the Outstanding Chapter award in 1990 when I was their chapter adviser. I still remember that moment and feeling so proud. I remember the day I pledged Alpha Phi with my best friend, Laura Jen Kin Berger (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach). I remember being a bridesmaid in her wedding and the weddings of Alpha Phi friends Lisa Wermich Head (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach) and Michele Rose Ciampa (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach). Most recently I remember attending Convention 2000 in Puerto Rico with my 9-year-old daughter Kiley. She still talks about the Alpha Phis she met. One day this will be one of her favorite Alpha Phi memories. No one knows that I secretly: cry every time I watch It’s A Wonderful Life. The three words that best describe me are: loyal, perceptive and decisive.

Nancy Owen Craig (BV-Bucknell) was shocked when she received the call. Her daughter, Elizabeth, was going through recruitment at a large Midwestern university. The Alpha Phi chapter on campus chose not to invite her to their preference party. “I told Betsy that I thought Alpha Phi would invite her to membership automatically,” Nancy says. “When I was the recruitment director, I thought that was the policy. Forty-eight years later I learned that I was wrong,” she says. Courtney Forester Suddath ( I-Texas Tech) received a different type of call when her sister Megan went through rush. During the summer she sent the chapter a o Re conn et e letter and Legacy m Introduction form (see page 19). DO YOU HAVE AN The women called ALPHA PHI LEGACY?

I realized it was a new chapter from when I was there, a new chapter from when our mother was there. That’s when the true meaning of legacy hit me,” Courtney says.

What is a legacy? Alpha Phi defines a legacy as a granddaughter, daughter, stepdaughter, sister or stepsister of an initiated Alpha Phi. The Fraternity trusts collegiate chapters to treat legacies courteously and to get to know them during formal recruitment. However, the policies of Alpha Phi International do not require a chapter to pledge a legacy. Each chapter makes the final decision on new members. Chapters are urged to invite legacies to two rounds of recruitment events. If a legacy is invited to the chapter’s preference party, she must be placed on the first bid list and offered membership in Alpha Phi. “Sometimes, however, either the chapter or the legacy decides that they are not a good ‘match’ for each other,” says Megan Bouché (E-Minnesota), associate director of collegiate membership. “After all, chapters differ greatly from campus to campus.”

Is your legacy going through rush? Send in the Legacy Introduction form on page 19.

Want to share the bond of Alpha Phi sisterhood with a non-affiliated relative? Read more about alumnae initiation on page 14.

What happens when a chapter doesn’t invite a legacy to pref? The Standing Rules of Alpha Phi state: “A chapter must have the approval of the chapter adviser to drop a legacy. If an Alpha Phi legacy is dropped, the adviser shall select an initiated member of the chapter to call the grandmother, mother, stepmother, sister or stepsister of the legacy and tell her of this decision. Such a call must be made prior to the time the invitations are extended and shall be made in the presence of the recruitment or chapter adviser.” What do you do when your legacy goes through recruitment? First, write a recommendation using the Legacy Introduction form (see page 19) and send it to the vice president of recruitment on her campus. Then, talk to your legacy frankly about Alpha Phi’s policy and the recruitment process in general. “Megan grew up learning about Alpha Phi from my mom and me,” Courtney says. “I knew that one day she’d probably go through recruitment, so I tried to show her how special it is to me. She saw my

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ALPHA PHI Since 1966 when Linda Rowland Gaston (∆B-Texas A&M/Commerce) pledged Alpha Phi, six members of her family have joined. Her sister, Rosemary Rowland Mach (∆B-Texas A&M/Commerce), pledged during continuous open bidding (informal rush). Another sister, Donna Rowland Smith, and Linda’s daughter Robin Meissner Johnson (both ∆B-Texas A&M/Commerce), are alumnae initiates. And three nieces pledged during formal rush: Elizabeth Story Johnson, Jennifer Story Foley (both ΓH-North Texas) and Rebeka Smith Ecker (∆BTexas A&M/Commerce). The Alpha Phi tradition continues in Linda Gaston’s family. She is pictured (back, right) with Alpha Phi sisters and their legacies.

strong Alpha Phi friendships over the years – especially at my wedding and my daughter’s christening.” Her daughter’s experience helps Nancy empathize with women who call the Executive Office with concerns about Alpha Phi’s legacy policy. “Our chapters are independent, but every Alpha Phi woman with a legacy wants her to be part of the group we loved so well,” she says. “However, it’s our responsibility as mothers or grandmothers or sisters to tell our legacies realistically how recruitment will be and how Alpha Phi is expected to treat her. Then – no matter what the outcome – we have to be positive and supportive of her recruitment experience.” Alpha Phis with legacies can call or e-mail Megan Bouché, 847.316.8926 or mbouche@alphaphi.org, if you have questions.

At the wedding of Cherie Bohling Johnsen (∆Ξ-Nebraska/Kearney), these chapter sisters discover they all have legacies.

CONNECTING.

Connecting After College: Joining as an Alumna Initiate By Sheila George Bright (ΓI-Texas Tech)

You don’t have to be in college to join Alpha Phi. Frances E. Willard, famous 19th century women’s rights activist, was the first alumna initiate in 1875. Alpha Phi always seeks the brightest and best to become members, whether they’re in or out of college. Alumnae initiates join for many reasons. ALPHA PHIS IN THE FAMILY The daughters of two past Fraternity presidents were initiated at recent Conventions. Rebecca DeVoe Brown, daughter of Nancy Wittgen Burks DeVoe ( DePauw), assisted chapters with their finances for years. She and her sister, Molly DeVoe Tuemler, joined their mother and sister Cynthia DeVoe Price ( -DePauw) as Alpha Phis in 1998. Jennifer Grant, daughter of Sally McCall Grant ( -DePauw), tried to convince Princeton’s Panhellenic to allow a group of 60 women to affiliate with Alpha Phi. Although unsuccessful, she and sister Catherine (who attended Harvard) became members in 1996. Jennifer Grubaugh (EA-Ashland) never dreamed her mother, Janet, could join. Janet was offered alumnae membership by the Ashland alumnae chapter and is now recruitment adviser and house corporation board member at Ashland (EA). LIKE DAUGHTER, LIKE MOTHER When a new Alpha Phi chapter is installed, members’ mothers can become alumnae initiates. Gayle Kiss joined when

friend Dannell Moore. Dannell became the chapter’s recruitment adviser. South Central Regional Manager Linda Boon DeFee ( I-Texas Tech) and Barbara Tarro ( I-Texas Tech) are friends since high school and Alpha Phi sisters since 1984. Barbara is Texas Tech’s ( I) program development adviser and interim chapter adviser.

Mary Block, left, recruits best friend Dannell Moore as an alumna initiate.

her daughter, Vanessa ( G-Western Ontario) became a Western Ontario ( G) charter member in 1991. Gayle was chapter adviser, commuting more than two hours from her Toronto home, and president of the Toronto alumnae chapter. A LOCAL BECOMES INTERNATIONAL When her local sorority became an Alpha Phi chapter, Nancy Morris Bosworth (E -CSU/Sacramento) was asked, as an alumna, to affiliate with Alpha Phi. Since then she’s been Spokane alumnae chapter president, district alumnae coordinator, Alpha Phi Foundation director and Foundation regional liaison. A SISTER ASKS A FRIEND Mary Hancock Block ( -Northern Colorado), chapter adviser for Colorado School of Mines (IF), asked her best

AREAS HAVE CHAPTERS BUT FEW ALUMNAE Melissa Frank was initiated this year and now advises New Hampshire (GA), a chapter where finding advisers is difficult. Northeast Regional Manager Tanya McGinn (T-Washburn), Melissa’s advisor at Bryant College, asked her to join. She did and became Northeast Regional Conference coordinator too. There are as many reasons for alumnae initiation as there are women. Mary Ellen Gillespie (GA-New Hampshire) was coordinator of Greek life at SUNY/Plattsburgh when a campus local group petitioned to become an Alpha Phi chapter. Mary Ellen helped with the process, and Laura Malley-Schmitt (F -MIT), who worked on the extension committee, invited her to join. She is now North Central Midwest alumnae membership coordinator. Alumnae initiates enrich the Fraternity’s life. Do you have a friend or relative who would make a wonderful Alpha Phi? It’s never too late to ask her to join!

North Central Midwest Region INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Indianapolis alumnae chapter President Tonya Quick Dickson (EB-Butler) attended Convention 2000 in Puerto Rico and returned with many ideas. Alumnae enjoyed pottery painting, Art At the Zoo, a cooking class and holiday cookie exchange, a “girls’ night out,” rollerblading and an afternoon with the philharmonic. Vice President Jamie Sevenz Marshall (ZΞ-Elmhurst) coordinated an Ivy Circle Book Club. Several members serve on Butler’s (EB) advisory board. Each year, the chapter offers a scholarship to one Epsilon Beta collegian, a tradition of which they are especially proud. Alumnae hosted a finals week pizza party in December and created finals week care packages in the spring. Congratulations to Tracey Gordon Hostetler (ΓO-Drake) for receiving a graduate scholarship from the Alpha Phi Foundation. Tracy is pursuing an MBA at Cornell. —Valerie Smith Miklozek (∆P-Ball State)

MID-MISSOURI

FORT WORTH, TEXAS

As part of their revitalization, Mid-Missouri alumnae (formerly Columbia-at-Large) changed the chapter’s name to reflect a new mid-Missouri focus. Alumnae shared ideas about the chapter’s direction, and members chose to focus on supporting Missouri (O) and William Woods (∆X) collegiate chapters and providing social opportunities for Mid-Missouri area women. A January pizza gathering helped the chapter meet another new goal: involving alumnae from a variety of collegiate chapters and a broad age range. Five collegiate chapters were represented with sisters ranging in age from recent graduates to 50-year members. A March meeting provided the opportunity to see the recent renovations at the Omicron chapter house.

Fort Worth alumnae gathered for the annual MotherDaughter Dessert and Fashion Show in January at Mira Vista Country Club. A silent auction raised money for Texas collegiate chapters, the Alpha Phi Foundation and the Alpha Phi McFerrin Golden Stethoscope Award. The Elizabeth Thompson Smith Award was presented to senior Nicole Barrett (ΓHNorth Texas). Elizabeth Thompson Smith (Ω-Texas) was a past Alpha Phi International president and an adviser to North Texas (ΓH). Nicole’s mother, several Gamma Eta collegians and Chapter Adviser Pam Brown Carson (ΓI-Texas Tech) were present. Thanks to Susan Stone (ZN-Texas Christian) for making the event a success. Joanne Bramanti-Guy (ΓH-North Texas) hosted a February tea. Lisa Stokdyk (ΓH-North Texas) provided interesting blends, antique servers and a history of tea and accessories. A March meeting in Julie Davidson Reynolds’ (ZN-Texas Christian) home featured an herb presentation. In April, alumnae met in downtown Fort Worth for the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. Nadine Troll Parsons (ZN-Texas Christian) held silver and Bordeaux balloons so members could find her in the crowd of more than 13,000 runners. After the run, alumnae met for brunch. Members also enjoyed a brunch and tour of the historic Fairmont district of Fort Worth. Visit the chapter’s Web site at www.angelfire.com/tx4/aphi/. —Louise Florey Reid (ΓI-Texas Tech)

Wherever you are in life, remember Alpha Phi. Reconnect. How? Pay your dues. Yes, it’s important! Alpha Phi’s annual International alumnae dues are only $21.29 (including the customary Founders’ Day pennies — one cent for every year since Alpha Phi’s beginning). What does that $21.29 do? Keeps the Fraternity running. Supports alumnae chapters. Prints program material. Establishes new colonies. Educates. Sends this magazine. Retains superior staff. Paying your annual International dues indicates you are a member in good standing. You’ll receive a 2001–2002 membership card and also (if you pay before December 31, 2001) a ballot to vote for the next International Executive Board. Make your payment now by returning the envelope enclosed in this issue. Remember, International dues are paid directly to the Executive Office. Get active. An alumnae chapter may be located in your local area. Each one needs support for its programs and mailings, too. Why not become a member? You’ll love how welcoming Alpha Phis everywhere are!

Let Alpha Phi International connect you to a local chapter or help set one up if there isn’t one nearby. Learn how to create a Forget-Me-Not chapter with former collegiate sisters. Organize a reunion using our Reunion Kit. Call 847.316.8925 or e-mail alumnae@alphaphi.org for information and help. Local dues are paid directly to the local chapter. If you’re near one, you’ll receive a bill from the alumnae chapter directly. Whether or not you want to attend meetings, consider supporting the chapter by paying local dues in addition to International dues. Help recruit new Phis. Know a young woman entering college at a campus where Alpha Phi has a chapter? Tell her about us. Better yet, write a recommendation (see the form on page 11).

Alice Schmitt LeFebvre ( -UC/Berkeley) made a $10,000 contribution to San Jose State University (SJSU) in honor of Alpha Phi. Her contribution is recognized by a bronze-plaqued bench located in a prominent location in the center of campus. The plaque reads “In Honor of Alpha Phi … Please use your education to make the world a better, friendlier, more beautiful place.” Alice says she is “motivated by SJSU’s ever increasing importance to the Silicon Valley and by its incredibly successful campus beautification Alice LeFebvre campaign.” She thought the bench would be “positive PR for the chapter, the Fraternity and the Greek system.” Alice is president of the Monterey Bay alumnae chapter.

Sheree Clark (A ) and John Sayles were featured by television and newspaper for their collection of vintage Blenko glassware. A segment of the Iowa Public Television program “Living In Iowa” highlighted the Des Moines business owners in March. An October 2000 Des Moines Register also John Sayles and Sheree Clark focused on the pair. Sheree and John, who own Sayles Graphic Design in Des Moines, are avid collectors of Blenko glass, particularly the Blenko that was made in the 1950s and 1960s. “We travel so much for business,” John says, “we've bought glassware all over the country.” The collection is displayed at the Sayles Graphic Design studio, itself a mid-century gem: the stylish 1956 blonde brick building flaunts redwood trim and flat roof along with rooms filled with Blenko and other vintage collectibles. For John and Sheree, design is not just their work, it's become their life. “We literally live and breathe it,” says Sheree. “Everything in our everyday lives is about design. Our studio and both of our homes are all filled with period designer pieces, mostly that of the mid 20th century.” Sayles Graphic Design was founded in 1985 when the pair teamed up after a successful freelance project. The company's unique “Art / Smart” approach to business allows each principal to focus on his strength, providing clients around the world with the best of both design and client service. Sayles Graphic Design is frequently featured in local and national industry publications; the firm's work also is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution's CooperHewitt National Design Museum and the United States Library of Congress.

Adrienne Prahler Jaffe’s ( -MIT) schedule is packed with professional (she’s a technical sales representative for Texas Instruments Incorporated) and Alpha Phi activities. “Being a chapter adviser is a lot of work, but it’s a good way to volunteer my time and get to know people,” Adrienne says. For the past two years, the chapter adviser role gave Adrienne a crash-course in management. “I’ve learned how to keep people focused, motivated and happy by ensuring they continue to want to do what they signed up to do,” she says. “Every single day we solve problems. That’s a great skill to have – it’s all part of volunteering,” she continues. A current challenge for the chapter is a campus change to deferred rush in 2002-03. As a CA for a

housed chapter, Adrienne says she’s very involved with the house corporation board (HCB): “The house needs to be in a certain condition. I communicate the needs of the chapter to both the HCB and Alpha Phi International.” Adrienne’s busy lifestyle has taught her another skill: delegation. “I’m continually recruiting new volunteers. I can’t do it all myself – I can do the electrical wiring in the house, but I can’t do finance. I even recruit my husband to do things,” she says. Working with the collegiate women makes all the effort worth it, Adrienne says. “They are an amazing group. They are the leaders of tomorrow.” Adrienne says advising a chapter and coordinating volunteers means “understanding the needs of the women, making sure the chapter meets those needs and offering support.” She continues, “As the premier developer of women, it’s our responsibility as advisers to provide a focus and direction for the chapter and volunteers.” Interested in learning more about serving on an advisory board?

CALIFORNIA UC/Davis (EP) One Epsilon Rho goal during the school year was to increase community service hours. Members volunteered by hanging children’s art at the Davis Youth Art Center in March. They donated almost 40 garbage bags full of clothes and shoes to the Yolo County Women’s Shelter. Members also planned a new philanthropy event, a flag football tournament held in the spring. —Kourtney Gamble

USC (BΠ) Beta Pis participated in a sister retreat at a ropes course in the Malibu Hills of California. Activities such as wall climbs and trust falls taught members to overcome fears and about teamwork and individual strengths. After each woman completed an activity, she wrote an inspirational quote or something she learned about herself or a sister on a large puzzle piece. The pieces fit together to form a huge poster of a Phi Bear, the chapter name and the “Union Hand in Hand” motto. The poster now hangs in the chapter house to remind members of what can be accomplished through teamwork. Cardiac Care Week activities in March began with Cardiac Arrest. Dressed in AΦPD shirts, Beta Pis “arrested” sorority and fraternity presidents, took their mug shots at “Alphatraz” (the chapter house) and treated them to dinner before their chapter members posted “bail.” The chapter also sponsored a Phi-ture Presentation movie night and handed out stress balls and pamphlets of stress reduction and

Presenting the 2001–2002

Educational Leadership Consultant Team Educational leadership consultants (ELC) are part of Alpha Phi’s history for more than 100 years. When the concept of the “visiting delegate” began in1893, the goal was to strengthen individual chapters and their bond to the international organization. Today, ELCs work with chapter leadership to increase rushing strength, improve chapter programming, create marketing plans and provide members the foundation for a well-rounded Alpha Phi experience. An ELC has memories and experiences that last a lifetime. The skills she develops benefit her personal and professional life. Meet the 2001–2002 Fraternity Consultant Team These women will travel across North America during the 2001-2002 school year to help collegiate chapters reach their fullest potential. Their collegiate experience, teamed with a three-week training process, allows them to work effectively in the field. They represent six regions, numerous leadership positions and various experiences. They are confident and poised. Beginning in August they will be visiting a chapter near you.

PA G E T W E N T Y- S I X

Jill Allison (Σ-Washington and HI-Pennsylvania) My goal as an ELC is: Byron once wrote “all contemplative existence is bad – one should do something.” I truly believe in the sisterhood and the ideals of Alpha Phi. As an ELC, I want to help our chapters and collegians know they are capable of greatness and help them work toward excellence in everything they do. I know it’s possible — they’re Alpha Phis! If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be attending the University of Michigan’s Law School. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: meeting sisters from across North America. No two chapters are exactly alike, and I can’t wait to meet women from as many as possible. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: I was in a horrible mood due to a six-hour flight delay at the San Francisco airport. I was surprised when I ran into an Alpha Phi I hadn’t seen in two years. We had lunch, caught up and I ended up being grateful for the delay. No one knows that I secretly: love words. Maybe it has to do with being an English major, but I love getting out the dictionary whenever I come across a new word. Some of my all time favorites: pejorative, debacle and ubiquitous. Three words that best describe me are: joyful, honest and loquacious.

Sarah Elizabeth Duncan

S a ra h B e rg (N-Nebraska) My goal as an ELC is: to be a positive liaison to collegiate chapters and a positive influence on the individuals I encounter. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be living and working in San Francisco. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: traveling and working with extraordinary Alpha Phi women across the nation. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: during freshman year when I went through initiation and inspiration week. It was then I realized Alpha Phi was more than just letters. It is a unique bond shared between women who inspire and support each other. No one knows that I secretly: want to be an L.A. Lakers Girl. Three words that best describe me are: spontaneous, laid-back and creative.

(∆Θ-Western Michigan) My goal as an ELC is: to do the best job I can and leave a positive impact on the Alpha Phis I meet. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be looking for a job somewhere near Detroit. I grew up there and my family and friends are there. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: meeting Alpha Phis and traveling to places I’ve never been and probably never would visit if not for this job. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: living in the chapter house. Although I didn’t like it every minute, I’m so glad I lived there two years. I will never have the opportunity to live with 50 women again. It was a lot of fun. No one knows that I secretly: watch the Discovery Channel as often as I can. The three words that best describe me are: dedicated, fun and loyal.

Heidi Fleck (N-Nebraska) My goal as an ELC is: to make a difference by sharing my knowledge and experience with Alpha Phi chapters. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be working in marketing at a Fortune 500 company. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: meeting amazing Alpha Phis around North America and working closely with each chapter. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: our new member retreat and other special activities during that time, our first chance to bond as sisters. No one knows that I secretly: would like to be a Victoria’s Secret model. Three words that best describe me are: charismatic, fun-loving and goal-oriented.

(BΩ-Kent State) My goal as an ELC is: to empower chapter members to work together to impel positive change. I truly hope to build leaders within each Greek community. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be in Columbus, Ohio, seeking a financial planning position for a small firm with the hope of going to law school someday. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: traveling throughout the U.S. and Canada and teaching other Alpha Phis about the benefits of being in a sorority, especially Alpha Phi. This position will give me a chance to give back all that I have learned as an active sister. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: watching as my two younger sisters were initiated at Kent State (BΩ). This was the true bonding of our sisterhood that will last forever in my heart. They will always be my best friends. No one knows that I secretly: want to be a Supreme Court justice. The three words that best describe me are: honest, curious and determined.

Jennifer Peabody

Angelica Orta (∆A-East Carolina) My goal as an ELC is: to successfully complete my assignments, utilize my training and skills to improve, promote and maintain chapters assigned to me and to professionally and proudly represent Alpha Phi. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be traveling and studying abroad, pursuing a master of arts in international relations. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: traveling, working with collegians and creating strong bonds and networks with fellow consultants and the Executive Office staff. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: my initiation into Alpha Phi (11/07/97). No one knows that I secretly: am a WWF (World Wrestling Federation) fan. The Rock is my favorite. The three words that best describe me are: independent, outspoken and loyal.

(BΨ-San Jose State) My goal as an ELC is: to give each chapter I visit realistic and functional ideas to make the chapter stronger. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: be hunting for that perfect job. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: brainstorming with officers on ways to reach goals, plus having an opportunity to meet and have fun with hundreds of sisters. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: the night before bid day two years ago when my chapter found out we achieved quota after working so hard to overcome the obstacles of a difficult rebuilding year. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. No one knows that I secretly: want to be a make-up artist. The three words that best describe me are: dedicated, personable and even-tempered.

Margaret Phillips (ΓA-San Diego State) My goal as an ELC is: to continue and strengthen the Alpha Phi name, and help chapters through my experiences and knowledge of Alpha Phi. If I wasn’t an ELC, I’d: work in marketing for a company in San Francisco. As an ELC, I’m looking forward to: helping chapters work through difficult times and challenges. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: my new member semester, when I fell in love with Alpha Phi! No one knows that I secretly: crave chocolate at all times. The three words that best describe me are: outgoing, dedicated and friendly.

Teamwork Successful recruitment means the entire chapter works together to accomplish a goal: pledging new members. Input and participation from each sister allows the membership to make the best decisions within time constraints. It is the same scenario in a professional setting. Each employee brings important skills and abilities. Employers expect workers to cooperate in teams to make daily decisions based on available information within a specific timeframe.

Alpha Phi Assumes NPC Lead during Centennial Celebration Join us in Tucson to Celebrate this Historic Occasion In 1902 Margaret Mason Whitney ( -Michigan), Alpha Phi’s national president, called representatives of Greek women’s groups to a meeting in Chicago that resulted in the formation of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). As the Conference prepares to celebrate its centennial, another Alpha Phi, past International President and past Foundation Chair Sally McCall Grant ( -DePauw), will be installed as NPC Chair during its Biennial Session, Oct. 5–7, 2001. Join Alpha Phi at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson, Ariz., to celebrate this historic event. This will be Alpha Phi’s third time to hold the Chair position. The occasion kicks off NPC’s year-long celebration, culminating at the October 2002 Interim Session in Chicago. Watch for details regarding the installation and celebration in upcoming issues of the Quarterly and on the Web site at www.alphaphi.org.

NPC’s Quest for Academic Success In April, college and alumnae Panhellenics across the U.S. and Canada celebrated the Week of the Scholar. This is a time to reward outstanding academic achievers, as individuals and as chapters. Many college Panhellenics also recognized professors, faculty and faculty advisors to show appreciation for all they do. College Panhellenics were encouraged to “take scholarship to the streets.” Some visited local schools to recognize academic excellence and read to children or perform skits to show learning is fun. NPC applauds college and alumnae Panhellenics that participated. Next school year, the Week of the Scholar will become the Month of the Scholar, celebrated annually in October to emphasize the importance of serious scholarship. Alcohol-free Implementation Task Force Begins Work Task Force Chairman Laura Sweet (Sigma Sigma Sigma) and members Lissa Bradford (Kappa Alpha Theta), Chris Dickey (Alpha Delta Pi), Marilyn Fordham (Delta Gamma) and Josette George (Phi Sigma Sigma) were appointed to study and make recommendations on the following: • identify issues that individual chapters and college Panhellenics face in implementation. • provide guidance and language for the college Panhellenics to function in respect to the alcohol-free initiative.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wedding Rekindles Phi Friendships I graduated in May 2000. My years at Alpha Phi were wonderful, though I regret not having a lot of time to spend with sisters. I was on the WSU varsity rowing team, which took up the majority of my time and caused me to miss many social events. I didn’t think many sorority sisters would attend my wedding since Homecoming was the same day. However, dedication and loyalty to sisterhood never fail. I can’t thank the women in Alpha Phi enough for being there for me when it meant the most, even after I hadn’t been there for them many times throughout college. I thank each of them from the bottom of my heart for the ring of friendship we shared on my wedding day and every time we meet. –Megan Wedin Demarest (BQ -Washington State) The Power of E-mail Last week I sent an e-mail to all Virginia alumnae reminding them of our Regional Conference. I immediately got a response from my “big sister,” Anne Whiting Kennon (GP-Richmond), whom I haven’t seen in four years. It was great hearing from her and now we have plans to get together as soon as schedules allow. From the same e-mail, I got a call from another chapter sister, Tracey Lankford (GP-Richmond). She supported Alpha Phi through the years by donating to Foundation and paying local dues, but hadn’t been able to get involved with her alumnae chapter due to limited free time with her job. Once we got off the phone she started an Alpha Phi file on her desk. The CEO’s assistant stopped at her desk and said, “I am an Alpha Phi from Wisconsin!” Now the two are going to start attending Ivy Connection [events] after work. It’s amazing how a simple e-mail can rekindle the spirit of Alpha Phi. —Liz Lord-Hannum (GP-Richmond)

FOUNDATION

Oh! What 100 Women Can Do!

From the Heart

Alumnae Remembered with Special Fund Last year men’s fraternities reported 5,000-plus donors gave $1,000 or more; women said 500 of their members gave that much. Men said their best memories of their fraternities were the parties; women said they remembered the close friends they made and their caring sisters. Men said they occasionally saw a brother at a college reunion; women said they still keep in touch with sisters with whom they pledged. Men say the fraternity system is undergoing change that makes them unhappy; women say change is good and sororities offer more leadership training and scholarship opportunities than ever before. This year the Alpha Phi Foundation is shattering the glass ceiling. We asked 100 women to give $1,000 to the Foundation, one to give $10,000, three to give $5,000 and five to give $2,500. And they did. “I joined the Power of 100 campaign because it’s a statement about the potential women have to support and nurture women’s education and leadership development,” says Colleen Sirhal ( -Michigan). This group of donors is helping to fund Foundation programs that will: • Find a cure for heart disease • End inequality • Educate the next generation • Lead the way in the 21st century • Inspire greatness • Transform our communities Just lofty dreams? We didn’t know until we tried. Colleen explains, “I believe Alpha Phi Foundation can achieve all these ideals. As one, I can make a difference. As 100, we can move mountains.”

“I never thought I would be in this position.” Devastating fire, threatening illness, sudden loss of a career. No one can plan for crisis. Some Alpha Phi sisters did. The Foundation’s Forget-Me-Not Fund helps alumnae needing financial assistance with unexpected life obstacles. The fund often is just the support a member requires – to feel the heart-warming love of her sisters in times of need. “It is impossible to describe how thankful I am that sisters started this program. Help was there when I needed it,” says one fund recipient. Do you need aid? Alpha Phi is here to help. When funding is available, assistance is given using the following guidelines: • An Alpha Phi alumna can apply to the Foundation, explaining her need and financial situation. All communication is confidential. • The Foundation investigates as necessary to assure the application is valid, and might require documentation such as doctor’s statements, copies of bills or receipts. • A Foundation committee recommends valid applications to the Board of Directors for a final decision.

Assistance may be provided either on an emergency basis when a single grant is given or small monthly stipends for 12 consecutive months. These grants are renewable and reviewed annually. “I just received a check from the Alpha Phi Foundation and am grateful for their willingness to help me at this difficult time in my life,” says a recipient. Gifts to the Foundation can be earmarked for the Forget-MeNot Fund. “I promise that once all this passes, I will figure out a way to pay the Foundation back so that we keep our Forget-Me-Not Fund to help others,” says an alumna who benefits from the fund. Want to remember your sisters after graduation? Honor them with a gift to the Foundation’s Forget-Me-Not Fund. Call 847.475.4532 for more information.

Interested in joining the Power of 100? Call the Alpha Phi Foundation at 847.475.4532. Look for the Power of 100 members’ names in the next isue. PA G E T H I RT Y- F O U R

OH, CANADA Canadian chapters hold creative fundraisers benefiting the Foundation. Toronto (Ξ) hosts two different dining events, British Columbia (BΘ) holds a Heart Throb contest among fraternity men, and Bishop’s (HX) sponsors a walk-athon titled “Move Your Phi’t.”

BOUNCE FOR BEATS About 100 players sought Beta Iota’s Phi-esta Cup during a basketball tournament on the West Virginia campus. The third annual event brought in more than $1,500 for the Foundation.

Thank You Thanks to AT&T Wireless for joining fundraising forces with the Alpha Phi Foundation. This spring, Alpha Phis at Texas (Ω) and UC/Berkeley (Λ) chapters piloted a new program: Phis Phoning Phis. The women raised about $30,000 for the Foundation by calling alumnae on cellular phones donated by AT&T Corp.™ through its short-term community phone loan program.

SUMMER 2001

Foundation Traveling Consultant Kristin Tomala (ZΞ-Elmhurst) My goal as Foundation consultant is: to educate as many chapters as possible about the Foundation and help them reach their philanthropic goals. If I weren’t the Foundation consultant, I’d: be applying for a job at MTV. As Foundation consultant, I’m looking forward to: meeting Alpha Phis from across North America and sharing my experiences with them. Favorite Alpha Phi memory: hosting the “King of Hearts Pageant,” our chapter fundraiser for the Foundation. No one knows that I secretly: have a band-aid collection. Three words that best describe me are: crazy, fun and trustworthy.

If your chapter would like a visit from the Foundation consultant, contact Rebecca Andrew at randrew@alphaphi.org.
