ALU MN AE BU LLETIN
ASA YEAR IN REVIEW AT THIS time each year, it is standard practice for a sorority to " ta ke stock" of its achievements and progress during the past year . Alpha Sigma Alpha is no exception to this r ule. However, many people are of the op inion that it is only the achievements and prog ress of the N a tion a l Organization that m erit consid era tion. This, of course, is not the case. E very college a nd a lu m n ae chapter , as well as ea ch individu al member of Alpha Sigma Alpha, should d etermine a nd d ec ide what they have to show for the past year . The N a tiona] Organization can cl a im a very successful record during 1963-64. A dream b ecam e a reality when it was a nnounced th a t the position of Traveling Secretary h ad been added to our Jist of National offices, a nd Miss Judy M a tthews of Beta Mu chapter was selected as the first holder of this title. Judy's contribution as T raveling Secretary far exceed ed everyon e's hig hest hopes a nd expectations; and we o we our d eepest gra titude to Judy for the fin e preced ent tha t she h as set.

O f cou rse, last but not least, the plans were completed for th e most successful Convention yet, a nd earl y registra ti on s in-

Each College and Alumnae ch apter m ust now see if their achievem ents can merit th e same p raise for a job well done. H ave their accom plish ments been com m en sura te with their a bilities, a nd h ave th ey, as ch a pters, contributed to th e streng thening of their sorority? Finally, each individual member m u st evalu a te h er contributions and achievem ents in h er sorority during th e past year.

COLLEGE CHAPTER NEWS Bv PAULINE S. OLsoN National College Editor Alpha members have, throughout the school year, been recognized leaders on their campus. Several of their outstanding girls include Evelyn Gray, president of Alpha Kappa Gamma; and Betty Ann R ex, president of the Y.W.C.A. In what will be an annual event, Alpha Alphas cosponsored, with Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, a "Tekequacade" in which all eighteen sororities at Miami swam for trophies. Outstanding activities on the calendar of the Alpha Beta chapter members were the Kansas-Missouri-Nebraska State Day for which they were hostesses, and the "Books to Ethiopia" project to help one of their graduates who is now with the Peace Corps in Ethiopia.

Alpha Gamma chapter, although its members enjoyed a variety of activities and achievements throughout the year, is proudest of the fact that for the second consecutive semester they captured the scholarship trophy, winning over twelve other sororities on campus; while Beta Beta members captured the scholarship award on their campus, placing first among eight sororities with a 4.057 average on a 5.0 system. The Epsilon Epsilon chapter members are proudest of their four members who were chosen for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. The four honored girls were Sue King, (Continued on next page)
COLLEGE CHAPTER NEWS, continued Shirley Johannson, Freda Bornshein a nd Suzanne Wischropp. Zeta Zetas were thrilled to have two of their sisters selected as finalists in beauty contests. Sharon Powell was chosen first runner-up in the Miss Warrensburg contest, while Becky Holmes was first runner-up in the Miss Kansas City contest. Becky was also selected " Miss Congeniality" in the same contest. Under the capable leadership of Jan Trowbridge, State Day Chairman, the Eta Etas entertained over two hundred Alpha Sigs at the State Day held on their campus during March. Individually the Theta Theta members captured many honors this year; the Vice President of Panhellenic, Chairman of Greek Sing, Chairman of Greek Ball, Who's Who, Scarlet Key, President of Charesgate Hall, Secretary of Boston University's All University Student Congress, Chi Gamma Epsilon, and Miss Lexington title. The Kappa Kappa chapter received , for the third consecutive year, the Achievement Cup, an award for excellence in participation in campus activities such as Homecoming, Greek Sing competition, Carnival, and intramural sports; in scholarship; and in cooperation with the Panhellenic Council. N u Nus are proud of Barbara Wilk, Claire Vachon and Hilda Sorelle, who have done much for the chapter by their recognition on cam pus. Barbara served as president of the American Institute of Interior Designers chapter on campus, while Claire and Hilda were initiated into Omicron Nu, the national Home Economics honorary. Rho Rho members who brought honor to their chapter were Patricia D ean and Patricia McGrath by making the Dean's Honor Roll, and Sharon Smith by being initiated into Alpha Beta Alpha, library science honorary. One of the highlights for the year for the Sigma Sigmas was when they won the intramural softball championship, under the coaching of Carmen Peltier ; while t~e Phi Phi members excelled in another athletic en deavor, bowling. Coached by Shirley Moore, team captain, they won the campus bowl ,. although up against strong competition . Phi Phts also. added another jewel to their crown by captunng .the scholarship trophy for the fourth consec u t1ve year. Members of the Chi ~hi ~ hapter also concentrated on their scholarshtp th1s year, and were rewarded by moving from fifth place to third place . in the sorority competition. A new addition to Psi Psi's program th1s year was the first All-Greek Day held on their campus. All fraternities and sororities joined together for a day of fun a nd relaxation, with a box-lunch picnic on their lake front. Beta J?eltas .rece~tl y began an unusual project, a bathmg su1t dnve.
The State Training School for the Mentally Retarded has recently built a swimming pool for the students, but there was only one bathing suit for over two thousand children. The Beta Deltas, however, are remedying this problem by their novel undertaking. Beta Epsilon's most outstanding achievement was the acquisition of the Panhellenic Scholarship Award by achieving the highest average of the seven sororities on campus. Beta Eta members very appropriately held their annual Sweetheart Ball on February 14. Approximately two hundred people danced under pale blue lights in the Student Union Ball Room, as the blue decorations played up the theme of " Misty" very cleverly. Hostesses for the Michigan State Day were the Beta Theta members who enjoyed tremendously the visit with their Beta Psi sisters and various Alumnae. Ten members of the Beta Iota chapter were among the thirty students chosen to represent Radford College in Who's Who in American Colleges and Univ ersities, a particular honor considering that there are over two thousand students on campus. Homecoming was the outstanding event for the members of the Beta Kappa chapter, and no wonder! They captured second place in house decorations, third place for their float, had three members sponsored by fra ternities for Homecoming Queen, and saw member Judy Sibrel capture a place in the Homecoming Court. Beta Lambdas felt that their outstanding chapter achievement was winning the s c hoI a r ship award路 while the Beta Mu members are proud of of their alumnae, Judy Matthews, who was selected to be Alpha Sigma Alpha's first traveling Secretary. Sandra Appleby brought recognition to the Beta Sigma chapt:r when s.he came in first in senior Women's debate m the M1d -South Tournament and first in oratory in the Amarillo , Texas, con test. Beta Upsilon members are proud of their chapter president, Joyce Hardebeck, who is student director of Picker! Hall, an active member of Eta Sigma Phi, the La tin honorary, and still manages to retain over a 3. average. A v~ry sophisticated type of form a l rush party was tned this year by the Beta Phis under the the1:1e of " Breakfast at Tiffany's." M embers were mtroduced to the rushees in a style show fea turing long evening gowns. Beta Chi has a chapter tradition by which they support th eir philanthropic project. Each year before the Arizona State University- University of Arizona football game, they make yarn VooDoo dolls a nd sell them in advance of the game to

COLLEGE CHAPTER NEWS, continued promote school spirit. It is suggested that since the dolls are red and blue, their rival's colors, perhaps a few well-placed pins will help Arizona State to win the game. Beta Psi chapter placed second among all campus Greek organizations in the annual Christmas yule rope and window decorating contest; while Beta Omega members have organized the Book End, a plan whereby students can purchase or sell used books at the end or beginning of a semester. The project is done at no cost to the university, and has been a great service to the student body. Although the Gamma Alpha pledges had a higher scholastic average than the members, the chapter average was high enough to win the campus scholarship trophy. Gamma Betas are happily anticipating the formation of a Panhellenic Association on the campus; while Gamma Deltas can look back with satisfaction at their contributions of food and necessities to two needy and deserving families. Gamma Epsilon's outstanding achievement of the year occurred at Homecoming when their float won the three top trophies and the cash award. They also organized a Mother Patroness Club during the year which t.hey have found was a very enjoyable and worthwhile job.
