SPRING, 1960

VOLUME 45, NUMBER 3

WILMA WILSON SHARP PRESIDENT EMERITUS WILMA WILSON SHARP (Mrs. Fred M.) ZZ was honored for distinguished service and devotion to Alpha Sigma Ailpha by the national council in meeting in J uly, 1959. The honorary title of President Emeritus was bestowed upon her as an expression of appreciation for the years of service dedicated to Mpha Sigma Alpha. As a sweet girl graduate, Wilma was elected to the office of national registrar, and this was the beginning of an era of accretion for Alpha Sigma Alpha in which she was to play a leading role. The personification of savior-vivre, Wilma proved to be an astute administrator as national president for a term in the thirties and again during the war and post-war years. During the interim between her two terms as president, she was national finance chairman and national education director. Wilma's great gift of authorship has been shared freely with Alpha Sigm a Alph a and he is a spellbinder as a speaker. The Fiftieth Anniversary Convention accepted, with regret, Wilma Sharp's resignation as president. She continued untioJ 1957 as delegate to the National Panhellenic Conference.

ESPECIALLY FOR ALUMNAE TOGETHERNESS ToGETHERNESS is a popular subject in newspapers, discussion groups, and general conv~rsa tion these days. In spite of many connotat10ns, the topic can easily be applied to sorority life. Alpha Sigma Alpha places sorority membership on a family plane. The alumnae, the elder members of the family, cannot survive without help from the young members-the collegiatessince young blood must come up into the older ranks to carry on. By the same token, the youngsters will surely wither and die on the vine without finding examples in, and taking advice from, the alumnae. Like the gears of fine machinery, which are magnifi·c ent .in themselves but need each other to work effectively and efficiently to accomplish a purpose, so must the college and alumnae chapters work together. Keeping close contact with the active chapters is a MUST for alumnae groups. Visit the one nearest you often, and welcome its members into your group. If your chapter is far removed from a college campus, adopt a college chapter, correspond with its girls, and foster a close bond of sisterhood. Indeed, in either situation, present a united front of togetherness, and plan the great future to which Alpha Sigma Alpha is entitled.NANCY G. MATHISEN, National Alumnae Director.

ATTENTION- CONVENTION ATTENTION ALUMNAE! How long since you have seen some of your college classmates? Why not begin now to plan a reunion at our next convention in the summer of 1961. After our last con~ention an alumna was heard to comment, "This convention has inspired me for years to come." Another girl remarked, "Yes, convention renews one's interest in sorority." A young mother of three children said, " It is good to get the college girl's point of view again." As a delegate from your alumnae chapter you return home full of ideas to try out with your own group. As a visitor you can attend the meetings you wish but will have more time to relax and enjoy your friends. From past conventions we can highly recommend an A~A convention as a family vacation.

Your husband and children can enjoy our AlA convention rates and are free to make all their own plans. We welcome them to join us for meals and entertainment. There will be plenty of recreational facilities available. We hope you wiU read every detail about convention in the PHOENIX issues of 1960-61. Won't you join us? It is always fun when Alpha Sigma Alphas get together.-HELEN CoREY, National Convention Chairman.

ACTION TIME STATE DAYs- Alpha Sigma Alpha in action! Once each year alumnae and college women are in discussion of pertinent happenings concerning our sorority. Highlighting activities include luncheons, special guest speakers, style shows, entertainment (provided usually by the college women), general meetings, song fests, coffee hours, instaHations, and special ceremonies. Alumnae are doing much in keeping State Days on a firm foundation. Initiating the idea of a State Day in their loc~lity and acting as hostesses for this one-day affair, alumnae chapter members find a busy and interesting project for the year. Personal contact and letters to the alumnae in the area and up-to-date records of members of Alpha Sigma Alpha in the locality will encourage more attendance to State Day. This year your national state day chairman will attend as many State Days as possible. If you would like nat•ional officers as speakers or if you need interesting, useful, and unusual ideas which have been found to be a success, write the national state day chairman.-FREIDA PHILLIPS, National State Day Chairman.

ARE YOU INFORMED? How well informed are you of the happenings in your sorority? Do you receive information only once a year-when the ALUMNAE BuLLETIN OF THE PHOENIX arrives? Don't you get ·the urge to know more about the members of your organization? One fraternity leader has said, "Your membership in a fraternity is one of the few things in the world that no amount of money can buy. You

cannot knock on the door and invite yourself in. You cannot apply for membership. Your invitation into the fraternity is an honor and distinction." Fraternity membership is a pleasure and responsibi·lity at the same time. Wear your badge proudly, and serve to the best of your ability. Two of the many ways that you may serve are ( 1) pay up your life membership and (2) keep the Central Office informed of your change of name and/ or address. If you do not belong to an organized group, send the money directly to the national treasurer atnd the change to the Central Office. Both addresses are the same-372 Argonne Drive, Kenmore 23, New York. A five dollar payment entitles you to THE PHOENIX for one year. There are many advantages of being a life member. You receive THE PHOENIX regularly and do not have to think about renewal of your subscription. Your wallet will contain a card stating that you are a Life Member of Alpha Sigma A·lpha. The badge you wear over your heart may have rubies in the four corners. We are forever striving for a better sorority and an increased understanding of the workings of our group. To cultivate that understanding, we must gaUher more information. Knowledge may be gleaned from our magazine. A life member receives THE PHOENIX for life. A member who reads the information contained therein is well informed. ARE You INFORMEn?-}EAN CARMICHAEL RICHARD, Natio1~al Treasurer .
