ALUMNAE
BULLETIN
Not What We Give But What We Share • IT is a commentary on Americans that we are more interested in what we are to receive than what we shall be asked to give. Selection as a sorority m ember allows you to share in an organization with a rich heritage. The word sorority is synonymou with fri endship. Close friendships are welded through a well integrated sorority program in coll ege and a lumnae chapters. Sorority life provides training no other organiz~ tion can offer. In addition to a pleasant social life, you learn to respect the viewpoint of others; to see the good of the organization rather than the wishes of one person; to work and play_with your sisters with similar interests and ideals ; and, you experience training in leadership which makes you a better citizen of a college campus, and later of the community in which you live. What more priceless gifts could you receive from your sorority?-EvELYN G. BELL, National President.

• A BRONZE PLAQUE commemorating the five founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha and the fiftysixth anniversary of the founding of the sorority on Longwood College campus was presented November 16, to the college by Miss Helen L. Corey, national secretary. Dr. Francis G. Lankford, president of Longwood College, accepted the plaque which hangs in the Rotunda, the main building of the school. Among the honored guests for the presentation were Mrs. H. E. Gillium (Juliette Hundley) , one of the five founders; Mrs. J. L. Jones (Edna Elcan ), the first national president; Mrs. Eugene H. Crompton, national scholarship chairman; and Miss Corey.
Recommendation Blanks Are Important • EACH of our forty college chapters throughout the country is dependent upon our alumnae for recommendations. All of us want to maintain the high standards of membership selection Alph a Sigma Alpha has had since the founding days m Virginia. With increased enrollments in all colleges, it has become more and more difficult for our college members to meet rushees outside of rushing parties. The recommendations can supply some of the necessary information about rushees before the formal rush season begins, and are extremely important to the well-being of the individual chapter and our organization as a national sorority.

TAKE PRIDE! • ONCE a year, your National Treasurer, calls to your attention Life Membership payments. In many National groups, this is compulsory and is included in the initiation fee. More and rpore of our college chapters are requiring a sum which includes the two fees. Some groups prefer to pay the balance owing during the remaining years in college, so that now many of our members are life members or have nearly attained that goal when they graduate. We in Central Office, are amazed in checking ' . the financial records to find how many are JUSt a few dollars short of becoming Life Members. Do you know how much you still owe? Why not drop a line to Central Office-we will be glad to look up the balance for you. Upon becoming a Life Member, you are automatically a life subscriber to THE PHOENIX. You will be entitled to carry a Life Membership card in your wallet and will be privileged to have rubies in the corners of your badge. Take pride in your sorority membership! Do your part in furthering the progress and advancement of the sorority of your choice-Alpha Sigma Alpha.- jEAN CARMICHAEL RICHARD, National Treasurer.

FROM YOUR NPC DELEGATE
fi1Mit 7 ew;Ml DEAR ALPHA SIGMA ALPHAS EVERYWHERE: Through the years, I have sent you messages in the various i sues of the Alumnae Bulletin nf THE PHOENIX. Some have been written to arouse your A~A loyaltie , some to urge greater devotion to our beloved sorority. In this issue I wish to send to all of you my loving gratitude for the privilege of having continuously served you and Alpha Sigma Alpha for the past thirty-five years. Upon my own insistence, I retired as your delegate to NPC at the close of the 1955-57 biennium. I leave you with the same message I gave you upon my retirement from the National Presidency and as I write it, I think of you not as a great body of thousands of Alpha Sigmas, but as important, individual Alpha Sigmas each with her place in my heart and in my A~A dreams:
"You and Today, a soul sublim e And the great heritage of time With God Himself to bind the twain Go forth, bra ve H earts, Attain, Attain."
About the 1957 Meeting of NPC The official report of the thirty-fifth session of National Pan hellenic Conference, writte n by Marion Wiley Keys, Alpha Phi, will be printed in the March issue of THE PHOENIX. It will be of great interest to all Alpha Sigmas because the recent NPC meeting at ,f rench Lick was notable for its cooperative spirit and productive planning and action. Your A~A delegate found it to be her most demanding session because during the past biennium she serve d as chairman of two NPC Committees, the Joint NPC-NAWDC (National Association of \Vomen Deans and Counelors) Committee and the Award Committee. As chairman of the latter committee, it was her pleasure to pre ent the Frat ernity Month Trophy for the best public relations program to the Col lege Panhellenic of the University of North Dakota. The presentation was made at the formal NPC banquet and the winning Panhellenic president was present to accept the trophy. In addition to committee reports, panel discussions, workshops, addresses of three distinguished guest speakers, some very important resolutions were passed by NPC. The following DECLARATION
JANUARY • 1958
OF FREEDOM was unanimously adopted by th e conference. Statements are frequ ently made advocating the teaching of the th eory and practi ce of communism. Because of our devotion to our country and allegiance to God we agree with those who emphasize that before communism is studied there must first be thorough and accurate education about the Constitution of the United States and the debates that dealt with its purpose to avoid concentrated Federal power and the in sistence upon th e principles which became the first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. Such knowledge is essential to the preservation of freedom in contrast with its destruction under totalitarian systems. The freedom "peaceably to assemble" stated in the first amendment to the Constitution makes possible a great array of clubs, societie and organizations known as voluntary associations which provide diversity of inte rests and satisfactions tc members. We are voluntary associations. We are dedicated to the preservation of freedom of citizens to choose their associates, which is a freedom characteristic of civilized cultures, a freedom protected by the Constitution of the United States, and sustained by the courts of our country since the time of its founding. We, the members of NPC, agree that we ha" e a responsibility to contribute to accurate and thorough knowledge about the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights and to know the ideologies destructive of our Country. Among other resolutions, which later will be supplied to A~A chapters, the followin g one was adopted: WHEREAS, Each National Panhellenic Confe rence fraternity is a self-constituted voluntary association administered through democratic action at regular national conventions in order to perpetuate personal friendships and to serve college institutions and their women students effectively: and WHEREAS , The National Panhellenic Conference recognizes there exists a reciprocal responsibility between national organization and the local chapter whose charte r legalizing its name and

From Your NPC Delegate ... continued fun ctions has been granted in good faith by the na tional fraternity to the chapter as custo dians of the founding principles and purposes of the natio nal fraternity : RE SOLVED, National Panhellenic Confe rence affirms th a t a continuing spirit of mutual respect and appreciation, cooperation, loyalty and expression of ideals form the basis of success for each fraternity as a whole ; further RES OLVED, National Panhellenic Conference urges each member organization to emphasize this important relationship of trust and understanding of common purpose. In additional to your NPC delegate, other A~A national officers were present at th e French Lick mee tings. Evelyn G. Bell, first alterna te delega te, who could attend only two days, was replaced by Ann Petree Niemeyer. J ean Carmichael Richa rd, serving as vice president of the Association of Central Offices, attended the NPC. sessions wh enever her schedule permitted. Unfortunately, a t the last moment, circumstances prevented Esther Bucher's attendance at the Editors' Conference. For the present, Evelyn G. Bell, experienced as A~A' s alternate delegate, will serve as your NPC delegate. - WILMA WILSON SHARP, NPC D elegate.
