Founders'

Day 1973

The family tree of Alpha Sigma Alpha sends its roots deeper and wider each year of its existence. Its evolution to 1973 has included change, modification, updating and much meaningful tradition. The rings of time have added direction, hardship, loss, growth and professionalism. While each unit of change, namely a convention year, sees new officers serving on behalf of their dedication to the organization, a core of women lingers in each of our memories, as a very special Founding group. It is this group we celebrate, each November, and their aims are those we observe in the work of our present-day officers and chapters. How good it feels to be a part of something that has existed for seventy-two years. Our aims in the beginning were specialized, with affiliation being limited only to those preparing for careers as teachers. As institutions of higher learning changed, so, too, our sorority became general in nature. Our Founders chose to create an organization rather than join one already established and filled with self-satisfied members. They sought an opportunity to "enhance individual liberties, to broaden opportunities for student participation and to correct what they perceived to be abuses, unfairness and hypocrisy in campus affairs", to quote from Fraternities in Our Colleges by C. S. Johnson. Whil_e these roots grew firmer and more fixed , the nurturing and beauty of the tree came from the love generated by enduring friendships. We owe our Founders the respect of an annual celebration. Likewise, we owe Alpha Sigma Alpha our honesty, our dedication, and our determination towards making it grow. The sorority is no longer in the hands of a few. The chapters are no longer located within a short distance of each other. The members no longer study the same basic fields. Finances are no longer a casual matter. No, much has changed. However, many of the principles of those women who toiled so long and so hard to make us a vital organization in both 1901 and in 1973, remain fixed and real in the name Alpha Sigma Alpha: To fill my days with satisfying activity; To find dominant beauty in art, literature, nature, and friendships; To know the peace and serenity of a Divine faith; To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good-This is my creed in Alpha Sigma Alpha." It is for this reason we strive to continue to grow. And as we do so, let our tree have two basic roots of longevity, and let those roots remain healthy and deep. Let one root continue to celebrate our Founders, and let the other root continue to observe our present. MaryAnn S. Linton National President

Helen Lortz Honored By AID A Superior Honor Award was presented recently to Food for Peace Officer Helen B. Lortz

HH. who retired from the

Agency for International Development after 38 years of federal service. The award was presented to Miss Lortz by Food for Peace Coordinator Irwin R. Hedges at a special ceremony. As Food for Peace officer for South America. she was cited for .. outstanding contributions to the development and management of the Food for Peace program. continued superior performance. excellence in analytical ability. and unique dedication. enthusiasm and loyalty ... l

THE PHOENIX

Miss Lortz started her government career directly after graduation from Kansas State Teachers College in 1932. Her entire career has been in the agricultural field, beginning with the U.S. Forest Service's Civilian Conservation Corps Program. When the camps closed down during World War II, Miss Lortz was assigned to the Agriculture Department program which provided assistance to low-income farmers. She transferred to the Washington office in 1945. In 1947, she was detailed from the Agriculture Department to the White House to assist the President's (Truman's ) Cabinet on World Food Problems. Miss Lortz has served the U.S. foreign aid program in Washington and overseas. She was assigned to the Office of Food and Agriculture in Paris in 1948, and returned to Washington the next year to participate in a joint Agriculture Department/ Economic Cooperation Administration program for foreign participants to train in agricultural information and extension programs in the United States. In 1958, Miss Lortz transferred to the Personnel Office's Career D evelopment Division. For 18 months, she worked on short-and-long term training programs for Agency employes stationed m overseas m1sswns. Miss Lortz's next overseas assignment was in Spain as an agricultural information specialist. "This was one of my most interesting and enjoyable assignments," she says. "The most rewarding and exciting asr:路~ct of this assignment was the opportunity to be out in the fi eld and work with the people at the grass roots level," she noted . Miss Lortz returned to Washington two years later and joined the staff of the newly formed Food for Peace Office. "The part I have enjoyed about all the jobs I have had is that in almost every instance the programs were new and innovative. Thus, new approaches and procedures for implementing them had to be found. "In the Office of Food for Peace, we were involved with finding ways to use food more effectively on a worldwide basis-not only to feed needy people, but to combat malnutrition among children, and to promote economic and community development on a self-help basis," Miss Lortz says. Eventually, the Food for Peace office divided its responsibilities into regional offices. Miss Lortz requested to be the program officer for Latin America. " I became interested in Latin America after my tour in Spain." Also, she foresaw the "exciting work" that was to be part of the Alliance for Progress program.

H elen B. Lortz HH

As program officer for Latin America, Miss Lortz had the opportunity to work in the fi eld again-five trips to Brazil, three to Peru, two to Chile and one each to Colombia, Ecuador and El Salvador. "It was tremendously gratifying to get out into the various countries and see first-hand how our food was being used and the extent to which program goals were being achieved at the local level," she recalls. "The U.S. voluntary agencies have done, and are doing, a tremendous job. " In my personal view, government-to-government programs in L atin America have also been outstanding in their contribution, p iuticularly in developing a program of a permanent nature such as the Brazil school lunch program . I think our food has had a great effect in building good will toward the United States on the part of the peoples in the developing countries where I h ave worked." As part of h er L atin America responsibilities, Miss Lortz reviewed and made recommendations on all program proposals ; provided daily advice and assistance to more than nine country programs; developed procedures for program implementation, and responded to emergency situations.

According to her supervisors, Miss Lortz's experience and accurate analyses have been the key elements in . crucial interagency program decisions involving millions of dollars worth of commodities and affecting thousands of people. During the 1970 severe earthquake disaster in Peru, Miss Lortz was die focal point for all U.S. government food assistance to earthquake victims. She also has been personally responsible for a major part of the effort to help institutionalize the Brazil school lunch program. H er ability to function at the field level was again called upon when a difficult political situation in Chile threatened the Food for Peace program there. Miss Lortz was sent to Chile in 1969 and 1970, and as a result of h er work with the Chilean government, U .S. voluntary agencies and the Chile Mission, major program adjustments to new political circumstances were possible without severely affecting or disrupting the Food for Peace program.

In 1967, Miss Lortz was presented with Alpha Sigma Alpha's Recognition of Eminence Award for her contributions in government service. Her retirement plans include staying in Washington for at least a year and then traveling, particularly to Russia. "I think the best thing in the world is to keep an open mind, having no set convictions about where you are going or where yol,l plan to live or what you plan to do," she philosophizes. "I find it is good to keep an open mind and be ready for anything new that comes along. That approach served me very well so far in my career and I hope it will do the same in my retirement."

Clown teaches Oklahoma class A special kindergarten class in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, often has a clown come to teach them. Barbara McPherson Br uses this somewhat unorthodox teaching method to stimulate interest within her underprivileged, multi-racial students. The kindergarten is a special proj ect of the Okmulgee school system designed to develop children physically and mentally in prepara tion .for entrance into the first grade. The proj ect has been planned for two classes. One is for the mentally retarded and physically handicapped ; the other is a developmental class for borderline students.

THE PHOENIX

Featuring: The Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter The members of the Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter have found their association with one another very rewarding. Their main area of concentration has been their philanthropic project, to which they have given both time and talents. Two of the members are teachers in a school for exceptional children so they have helped the other members become more aware of the needs of a mentally retarded child. The chapter has provided materials for the classrooms as well as favors for holiday parties. Since their interests do not lie in one area, they do provide for a variety in meetings and social activities. Meetings range from "A Trip to Europe" to a talent auction ; from a Horoscope meeting to a spoon-supper picnic. A guiding force for the Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter is the Pittsburgh City Panhellenic. Each year this group sponsors a benefit to raise money fo r scholarships for sorority girls living in or attend ing school within, a fifty-mile radius of Pittsburgh .

always volunteers, even when the job isn't glamorous or easy. She likes a challenge and does her job well. "Alpha Sigma Alpha is Pam's greatest love. She loves Beta Upsilon as we love her.

In nominating her, Nancy's chapter wrote: "During rush, Nancy immediately struck us as a

girl whose potential, through pledging, would develop into qualities that would benefit our sisterhood. Nancy has proven us to be right. Although she is still pledging, she has already made a sizable contribution to the sorority through her enthusiasm and obvious desire to be an active and working part of ALA. Nancy has developed a very strong bond with the sorority and has grown aware of the joys of a sisterhood like ours. She realizes that in order to keep it strong, she must work for it. Nancy, in our opinion, has been an ideal pledge."

CHETOPA, KANSAS 67336

A sign on U.S. 166 on the outskirts of Chetopa, a small town in southeastern Kansas, directs travelers to Green Haven Tea Room, owned by Beula Farrand Stillman rr. The tea room has been in operation for two years and Beulah estimates that she has served more than 1,400 guests on a reservation basis. " I have a home economics degree," she said, "and all the years I taught school I dreamed of operating a tea room. Two years ago, when my husband died, I just decided to enlarge the kitchen and put up a sign . .. it is my dream come true." Beula's home, designed by her grandmother who patterned it after a southern mansion, has been in the family since 1892 and is a charming location for the little restaurant. The 14-room house has a wide front porch with southern-style pillars that support a second-floor balcony. I vy climbs the pillars and the house is surrounded by huge old shade trees, unusual pergolas, outbuildings a nd several d rives. With reservations made several days in advance, Mrs. Stillman will serve meals to parties from eight to forty. Her specialty is a hot chicken salad "which women especially like," with turkey, ham or roast beef dinners available. She serves these buffet style with traditional accompaniments, though the menu differs with the season. Beula uses her own white dishes "because you can vary the color of the tablecloths, linens and decorations used with them." She does most of the cooking herself and makes many things in advance.

The Field Rep is Coming! You've just received the call. A Field Representative is coming to visit your chapter. You're in a PANIC! What are you going to do with her?! Well, relax. That Field Representative is only a couple of years older than you and a recent college graduate. She was selected by the National Council to act as a liaison between the national organization and the collegiate and alumnae chapters. She has been trained to straighten out the treasurer's books, knows lots of neat songs, and is a good rusher. She's fun to be with, easy to talk to, and never too busy to listen. Rebecca Sink

When she arrives at your chapter she'll need a bed, towels, a little floor space for luggage (she has a lot! ), and a quiet corner to hold conferences in. She's there to help, not to spy or pry. She observes, analyzes, evaluates, participates and offers constructive criticism. She likes a few hours to herself once in a while, an occasional date, a home cooked meal, a movie, a football game. She doesn't need an assigned keeper or prearranged festivities. She doesn't like to be ignored, however, and hates to say goodbye. She is your sister.

Michigan alum answers critics Karen Dammeyer Martin Be wrote the following letter in response to a series of articles entitled "An In -Depth Look at Rush" which appeared in the Centra! Michigan Uni versity campus paper. The articles had been written by "Pattie," a freshman, whose express purpose in gain!!, through rush was to "expose" sororit:'es and the Greek system.

To the Editor, As an alumna of Central Michigan University recently returned to Mt. Pleasant, I was very interested when I saw your "in-depth" look at sororities and rush. Perhaps you and your staff should take another look at sororities and rush from a different perspective. The opinions offered in your articles were far from objective. Your articles seemed to reinforce the great "myth" surrounding sororities. You fail to mention that sorority is one of the few places where womanhood, leadership, sincerity, organization of personal life, better grades than the average student, and concern for the total development of a woman is encouraged and accomplished. There was a time when I felt that sorority women were stuck-up, clickish, party-party, rich, clothes-horses, fraternity happy . . . But then, at that time, I didn't know anyone in a sorority either. Perhaps my ignorance, my opinions based on the 'great myth", and the unsureness of my pocketbook had a lot to do with it. When I rushed, I was a bit skeptical. I felt many of the same feelings of frustration as did Pattie. However, I had an open mind and heart. The real meanings behind rush made their way to the top through all of the artificiality and I pledged. Formal rush is, in my opinion, a necessary evil. I don't and didn't like it either. If I had experienced frustrations with the system and the phoniness of mass rush as a rushee, the frustration felt on the other end, as a rusher, was incomparable. The bonds a sorority woman feels are very similar to the ones uniting a strong

family . Throwing them open for examination by hundreds of other women, many of whom are only rushing so as to pick you apart, is not easy. Neither is the job of explaining the sister-to-sister and sister-to-sorority relationships. Rush forces an unbelievable self-examination and self-appraisal that is seldom faced elsewhere. How would you decide to whom you will offer your friendship for a lifetime, stand up for in their endeavors (whether you really believe in them or not) and share an identity with? All women face these questions when they choose a mate; sorority women face them in every rush. The frustrations of rush are actually real stepping stones in personal growth and selfawareness. On the subject of limitation of friendships, stop and consider how many people you are really close to. A freshman pledge will come to know, over the next four years, 75 to 100 other women as sisters alone. Add to that the 30 women met while going through rush who pledged other sororities. Add the friends kept from home, the ones made through classes, in professional clubs and organizations other than sorority. Is sorority limiting? I found that it encouraged growth and a wide diversification of friendships and interests both in and out of sorority. Sororities are limiting only to the individual woman who chooses to limit herself. Perhaps a sorority is one of the few places in which, even if you only give a little, you stand to gain a lot. Pattie mentioned the disappointment of rejection. I can't deny that that is a sad part of sorority life. Sometimes you get really close to a girl during rush and she chooses another sorority. Sometimes there is real discord in a group over a girl. Sometimes you feel as if your sisters let you down, sometimes it's the rushee who does it and it happens both with and without warning. Some girls aren't suited for sorority life. Pattie said that most girls get bids. That's because most girls are clean, decent and able to get along with others. There are always a few who lack in one of those areas and there always will be. Whatever reasons, sororities won't be the only ones to reject them in life ... THE PHOENIX

One of the largest areas to come under fire within the Greek system is the cost of membership. Financially, a person affords what th ey want to, whether it's smoking, liquor, clothes or an organization. I gave up smoking and a new spring dress when I pledged. The next year, I worked one night a week at the desk in the dorm; one of my sisters aot me the job. Sorority helped me get organized. I had more to do, but after learning how to budget my time, I actually had more time, time I used to waste. All of what I have said you cou ld have foun d out from any Greek if you had sat down with one and really talked about how their organization works. But then, I didn't expect your staff to be that liberal ... A better solution to formal rush and, in my opinion, a better place to put your finger on the

pulse of sorority life, is in open rush. After a girl signs up, she is called upon casually. She sees the sorority as it functions and works daily, not when it is on public display. No matter how many faults there are in the rush system, rushing can only leave you with more friendships and a bit richer for the experience. There is a side to sorority life and sisterhood that extends beyond college days. As an alumna, I have found that panhellenic spirit runs wide and deep as I have met other Greeks from other schools and other states. Sisterhood and sharing goes on. The other day I checked into the hospital to give birth to my daughter and found a sorority sister, whom I hadn't seen in years, in the maternity ward. Sisterhood goes on because it is sharing all of life. Sisterhood will be a uniting factor for those who come back to the University. Pattie, where will your present ties be if you come back to touch this part of your life again in ten or fifteen years?

There are three words in the Greek language which depict three different kinds of love. The first is Eros, the physical love man experiences. Philos is the second. It signifies the platonic closeness people feel for one another. These are the only kinds of love man is able to achieve. However, we are constantly striving for the third kind of love, Agape. Agape is God-like love. It is perfect love.

ASA Friendship Extends to Europe by Janice H . Haydel National Standards Chairman

It was April 27, 1973, while Wayne and I were G>n tour of London, Paris, Switzerland, and Italy, that we were able to renew a friendship that started in the early 1960's. Ellen Imboden and I were members of Sigma Rho Chi Alumnae Chapter in Detroit, Michigan. Ellen now lives in Karlsruhe, Germany.

We left our tour and met Ellen in Basel, Switzerland; a scenic spot on the Rhine River where France, Switzerland, and Germany intersect. Basel is one of the major financial centers of the free world and with Ellen as our expert guide we saw many very old and historic landmarks. We visited a Cathedral that was built in the ninth century. It was practically destroyed by fire in 1633 and rebuilt in the renaissance and baroque style. The two original towers remain from the gothic period, so in one place we were able to view architecture of three types. When we departed from Basel our destination was beautiful and romantic Lucerne, Switzerland, located at the foot of the Alps. This is approximately a three and a half hour drive from Basel; with Ellen it is much shorter and much more exciting! Ellen's second love is Switzerland and its people so this was a most enjoyable and educational trip. Her description of the many points of interest made us feel as if we were reliving history. Upon arrival at our Hotel we found no additional rooms available for Ellen, but with an Alpha Sigma Alpha's imagination this presented no problem! Ellen is an avid camper and stays prepared with all necessary equipment. It was simple adding a sleeping bag to our room-but with all of the festivities it was hardly used! We were able to spend several days together which was a blessing for us as Ellen is able to speak five languages. Because of this talent we were able to understand and appreciate the local customs and to participate in the life style of the area. She brought us to delightful restaurants full of local 20

atmosphere. One of the highlights being a cheese fondue dinner and wine party where we were entertained by folk entertainers, yodelers, and flag throwers. In Lucerne we took a four seat cable car over fertile meadows and green forests to Frakmoutegg. From there we took an aerial cableway to the heights of Mt. Pilate. The cable car is a daring feat of modern engineering that swings alongside the steep cliffs. This is the steepest climb by cable car in the world. We also shopped for and purchased Swiss watches and other souvenirs in the quaint shops of Lucerne. A walk through a covered bridge built fifty years before Columbus discovered America was quite a thrill. The many varied opportunities of exploring new and different things through our association as sisters in Alpha Sigma Alpha cannot be enumerated here. Our recent and delightful experience is only one of the many advantages that can accrue to each and every member of Alpha Sigma Alpha in every walk of life if they will become involved. To become involved requires a little self sacrifice. The time Ellen spent with us is exemplary of the spirit of Alpha Sigma Alpha. THE PHOENIX

Fun-filled activity and just plain old hard work made the year go by swiftly for the Alpha Gammas. Spring came and with it a m ost successful rush. We planned, an d planned, and then worked and worked for our rush parties with themes such as a puzzle par ty and happy hour with the A~As.

With the other sororities on campus, the Alpha Betas attended a Panhellenic banquet. This consisted of a large group meal as well as a program. The program brought with it a surprise for the Alpha Betas as they won the scholarship cup with an overall average of 3.03.

The next excitement of the year was Cathy Rendine making the fina ls in the Miss I.U.P. pageant. Cathy's talent was a comedy monologu e entitled "T o be or not to be," a tak e off on Shakespeare.

Spring time in Colorado painted many happy memories for the Beta Betas. The last weekend in March we all grabbed our boots and headed toward Estes Park for our mountain party. Saturday night we had a delicious chicken dinner, sang songs and then put on skits. Sunday morning we arose early for our own church service in th e mountain green cathedral.

As second semester began the red brick house of the Emporia Alpha Sigs came alive. T he KST C Panhellenic decided against any type of forma l rush for the spring semester, so we went right into open rush, which lasted the entire semester.

The next highlight was State Day which was held in Denver. Even though there was a huge blizzard that day, there was a large turn out. The Gamma Upsilons, Denver alums, and Mrs. George Linton, National President, were able to attend. We all had such a good time and learned so much that we decided to make plans for another State Day next year. Beta Beta Day was a surprise and something new for us. Cabinet decided that we should all become more aware of ourselves as a sorority, so we set aside a day for us to ge t together and talk about the many aspects of our sorority. It brought us very close and brought out in each of us an inner pride stemming from our sorority. Dinner-Dance was held in May at Stouffer's in Denver. The chairman for the event, Judy D ~s s e rich , was commended for making the evening such an elegant success. Sadie Hawkins Dance was really a spring fling this year. We had a band, a shelter house, grubby outfits, and a wonderful time.

The first major "happening" of the semester was our forma l, the Exemplar's Ball, which was held on February 10. We had our traditional formal dance and then changed into jeans for the post party. The following weekend we worked hard with the other Greek houses to pull off a successful Senior Weekend. High school seniors were our guests as they went to several parties, a concert, toured the campus and visited a ll the Greek houses. As the Miss Emporia Pageant drew near, we worked to get ready for our Mother's Weekend. After a buffet dinner and a short program we accompanied our moms to the pageant and saw our own Bernie Acinger selected as a fina list. At other tim es throughout the semester we also had Little Sister's Weekend and Brother's Weekend. Greek Week was a lot of fun for Epsilon Epsilon. At the IFC- Panhellenic Penny Carnival, a crowd collected to watch or participate in throwing cooked spaghetti (without sauce ) at the faces of the Alphas. What a mess! Spring is the time for elections and many EEs received recognition. Nancy H oagland and Jill Kirkwood were selected as members of Cardinal Key, a senior women's honor sorority. Nancy was elected as treasurer. Spurs, the sophomore women's service organization, initiated Jackie Hibbs, Jean H olt, J ean Rinner, Carol Reed, Suzanne Froelich, and Barb Sawyer, into its membership. Jackie will serve as vice-president, Jean Holt as editor, Jean Rinner as historian, and Carol as treasurer. Janice Wisner was selected as a member of Xi Phi Leadership Fraternity. Edie Erhard and Janice Wisner were elected as junior and senior representatives to the Union Activities Counci l. An afternoon of fun and games by a nearby lake, a wiener roast, and a late night bonfire made up our spring informal. The pledge class kept us laughing with imitations of their big sisters. Our Spring Fever R eliever Beer Bust served as our money-making project. It was held at a local dance spot. While everyone else drank beer and danced, the Alpha Sigs served beer and washed glasses.

Kappa Kappa Temple University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania April 16 is a date that most Kappa Kappas won't forget for a long time! That was the night that we honored our seniors with a turkey dinner. Our president Linda Termine, received the Golden Hand award. We made this one up because Linda needs someone to hold her hand when she goes to bed. (She's afraid to sleep alone.) We entertained the seniors with their favorite songs with our words. For an encore we all sat around after dinner and sang old songs while we washed dishes. To top the evening off, we had a party with Sigma Pi fraternity. It was a rock 'n roll revival so we all went with pony tails and bobby sox. Our seniors got to try out their silver mugs. Although the guys were reluctant to jitterbug, we danced from 9 till 2, and everyone had a terrific cvening.-CHRIS CRANE

Beta Delta Universit y of Southern Mississipp i Hattiesburg, Mississippi Spring came with warm breezes and each Beta Delta was full of hope and expectation â&#x20AC;˘. Our chapter grew to fulfill its fourfold physical, spiritual, intellectual and social aim. The Beta D eltas used their physical energies well. The football team placed first in over-all girls intramurals, and in the sorority league the basketball and softball teams took second. With high spirits, we attended all pep rallies and dared any group to out-yell us ! Our trophy case was revitalized with several outstanding awards. Lynn Roe received Southern's Best Female Driver award for her participation in the event. Sandy Pevey, a senior physical education major, achieved the highest honor in her field when she was elected the Best Female Athlete for the year 1972-1973. T he highlight of the year was Beta Deltas pulling a tug-of-war victory and achieving first place in the annual Greek games. Alpha Sigma Alpha's reputation of high intellectual standards was certainly upheld this year. We all sought and attained an over 3.0 grade point, placing first and second in grades for Panhellenic. We had five Dean's List and three President's List scholars. Eight Beta Deltas are members of Alpha Lambda Delta, four were tapped into CWENS, and Anita H owell was tapp ed into Phi Delta Rho.

An "after-the-final-finals" camping party was held at the nearby State Park and even through the rain the sun was shining. The greatest part of an Alpha Sig is her spmt, and the Beta Deltas upheld their spiritual creed. We have three members in Pi Tau Chi, religious honorary.

Our spring formal was held at the Commodore Perry Hotel in Toledo, Ohio. At that time the Ideal Pledge Award was presented to Laurie Her! and gifts from the pledge class were given to Kathy Howe and Becky Monnot in appreciation for all their devotign to the pledges. Gamma Mus participated with great spirit in Greek Week activities which included a rope pull, pogo stick race, roller skating, cover-all swimming relay, stilt race, skooter race, three-legged race and an obstacle course. We entertained ou r Field Representative, Miss Debbie Bukas, rt., for a week in March. She gave us many new ideas to help strengthen our chapter. Our Province Director, Mrs. Kenneth Morris, {38 , visited us for a day during this time. We appreciate their sincere help and all the fun they brought to the Gamma Mus.

Gamma Pi Missouri Valley College Marshall, Missouri Spring rush was exciting for everyone. We presented a skit depicting the days of Betty Lou, Fast Eddy and "Walt's Malt Shoppe." The new girls all loved the party and they seemed to have as much fun as we did. After spring rush, we all settled down to school work and preparing for mid-terms. The best came at spring break when over half of the girls went to Texas to reward themselves for studying hard for exams. Greek Week came in the middle of May and we came out on top to repeat last year's performance. Some of the events we won included College Quiz Bowl, pool, pinball , I 00 yard dash, and Mary Hertzler won Greek Week Queen for us. Plans are underway for fall rush and a theme centering around the Zodiac.- ALicE L. GoBLE

Gamma Rho Ea st Stroudsburg State College East Stroud sburg , Pennsylvan ia "Get to know Greeks" could have been the campaign slogan for our spring pledge class of really tremendous girls. And get to know Greeks they did as we stitched pledges and partied the same night with the various fraternities on campus-~ ,. , <I>~K, T KE, ex. Needless to say, the pledges and members of Gamma Rho had a semester of fun and good times. Our most important project for spring was that of participation in the "R ide a Bike for Retarded" sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children in April. Several of the Alpha Sigs lost a few pounds but gained a few sore muscles! Gamma R ho pledged $1.00 per mile for a total of forty -four miles. Senior Chris R ohr and Ingrid Rechter were the recipients of the Frost Fidelity and Elizabeth Bird Small Awards, respectively. We were especially proud to have three members recognized by fraternities on campus: Cathie Landis, T heta Chi Sweetheart ; Jan Finley, Phi Sigma Kappa M oonlight Girl ; and Maggie Beewick, Sigma Pi Orchid Ball Queen. Also, there is a "Beat of the Week" award presented each week to that member that has had an unusually funny or unique experience happen to her during the past week. It's always kept secret as to who will receive the award and everyone looks forward to discovering who will be the next recipient. In July, we held our annual summer picnic at Lake Min isinck. We had a great time swimming, sunbathing, . talking and eating and talking and eating- the usual! Tentative plans for fall include a babysitting program for headstart in con junction with the other sororities on campus in a joint effort to further community relations. The Inter Sorority Council also plans to hold a dance marathon with all proceeds going towards some type of charitable organization.- DEB HosTETTER

members had a fun-loving time dancing to the old tune~ such as "R ock Around the Clock" a nd " T een Angel." A skit was a lso presented. Greek Week was the next major event. Terri Piper represented us in the Greek Week Queen competition, and Gamma Omega members participated in a ll of the Greek Week a ctivities. It began with the All-Star football game when we p layed in the powderpuff division. In the days following, we sponsored a squirt-the-candle booth at the Greek Carnival where we were nearly floode d out by the water, and a lso took part in tee-shirt day when we donned our special ladybug Greek Week tee -shirts. On Saturday, our tricyclers, obstacle team, skaters, tunnel ball relayers, and spectators worked together to produce a day to remember. We placed first in the tunnel ball relays and then added a couple of third places to bring the Gamma Omegas to a trophy for second place in overall Greek Games Sorority Division. T his was not the end. The Gamma Omegas moved on to bigger and better things. The next day they competed in Greek Sing with a "Medley of Sing and Make Your Own Kind of Music" directed by Carla Schwarz. At the close of Greek Sing, when awards were being presented, Gamma Omegas were awarded another trophy for having the highest sorority gradepoint overall. In the remaining weeks we held our annual Senior Banquet, where awards were presented and farewells given to our seniors. This year Kathy Schroeder received the Senior Scholastics Award and Kay Brendel received the award for Outstanding Senior. Last wills and testaments were read , and punch and cake were served. This closed the Gamma Omega spring, but during this time we had a lso been looking towards this fall.

Our parties enabled us to meet many girls and gave us a great spring pledge class. The members got to watch the sun rise one m orning when the pledges woke us up to play. We grumbled at being awakened, but it was a great way to start the day - three-legged races and water ballooon fights! After our "outing" we sang to the fraternities to awaken them to a beautiful day. Greek Weekend proved to be a great day to get to know the other Greeks better; with a slave sale a dance and all Greek games, the weekend was a suc~ess.

alumnae news AKRON, OHIO Akron Alums, as usual, have been busy supporting Panhellenic projects. T he central thrust is for the a llowance fund for the children in the Children's Home. Bridge parties and raffle tickets are the chief revenue in addition to the Panhellenic Ball which is held every November. More about that in the winter issue. We a lso continue our support of our State Institution for the Mentall y Retarded with homemade toys, bibs, and slippers. In addition we make sure our used clothing is channeled to the forgotten ones in the home. J udy MacPherson Williams AA has moved from our city to a town near Chicago. Her address is Mrs. R ichard Wi lliams, 132 N. Braintree, Schaumburg, Illinois 60172. Akron chapter regrets to lose her but we know she will continue her work in A2..A in that area. At the close of one of our meetings we had a little going away party at Dorothy Hollinger Scott's 6.6. home. H i ! Judy! We love you and miss you! With the bitter comes the sweet. In this case we lost Judy but we gained a new Mrs. J anice Cargal A A, our newest member became the bride of Michael Burlovich last Spring. They spent their honeymoon in Hawaii. What could be more perfect? The alums had a shower for Janice at Li l Greer's 6.6. home, and a group attended the wedding and reception a few weeks later. The newlyweds fresh from the Islands, came to a cookout at the hom~ of Jim and June Western Cowan AB in Barberton, Ohio, and brought their wedding pictures and snapshots of Hawaii for all alums to see. We welcome a new member, Marian Knecht Mu llin 88 (Mrs. George). Province Day was held in Dayton during Apri l.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Autumn in New York The leaves are all ablaze, We love the chill, crisp air And splendor of these days.

So many things have happened since our last issue. On April 24 the Kinder Konzert was held with Carnival of Animals being the theme. The Buffalo Philharmonic presented the music and we helped to sponsor it by enlisting the support of area businesses in making contributions to permit Panhellenic to invite more underprivileged children. Once again, our own Marms, a singing group composed of six Alpha Sigs, donated their time and talents to do publicity for the show. Three strikes and you're not even out when our members and guests met fe r an evening of splits and gutter balls at our bowling party. Chairmen Rosemary Morris and Sharon Kostyun made the low scores painless as we had a "Ball" on April 28. A perfect day was had by all on a May Saturday as we a ll met for our annua l Spring Luncheon. Just picture the setting home-cooked meal, a small shimmering lake, wi ld fowl preening and our alums enjoying the springtime together. Chairman Jackie L. Russo and Frances Lehmann certainly made the day a delightful way to thank the past officers and Chairmen and welcome next year's leaders. Many of our members are moving 1:o new parts of the country. We wish the best of luck to Karen Noon, Arline Wilson, Karen Lesinski, and J udy Galisdorfer. Our vacation trips ranged from the Atlantic, to Hawaii, touring Scandinavia, seeing Venezuela, relaxing in F lorida, and camping in far off sites. These have been the activities for Jackie Lo Russo and her husband Anthony, Evelyn Bell, Miriam Fournier, D on nette Thurlow and her husband Bob, Doris Paxson, and Lindy Redmond and her husband Tom. The summer held many relaxing days and small get togethers but now with fall here we will all be toge ther with our planned activities. We wi ll let you kn ow more about our events next time.

Our greeting card sales continue to go well. This has certainly been more successful than we had thought it would be! !-CAROLINE Fox HECK

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA It was an ideal warm June day for the Central Pennsylvania pool-side luncheon at the home of Jean Rost Schenck KK near Dallastown, Pa. Co-hostesses were Hester Synder Null KK, and Betty Wilson Rost KK with George, Jean's husband, serving as Chef Par Excellence. We were delighted to see Hester and to catch up on her present whereabouts. She has been teaching vocal music at the Phineas Davis School (soon to be the Middle School ) in York and is looking forward in six more years before retirement. I can't believe it, Hester! Everyone seems to be traveling to far away places these days. Ruth Nailor KK recently returned from an extensive tour to the Holy Land, Ginny Hoffman KK is leaving shortly for the West Coast and Julia Smith Ar is leaving soon for Texas and then Hawaii while we "landlubbers" just sit on our patio and read the travel folders. June Smith, who is now living in Florida with her sister, keeps in touch via her many friends in this area. She writes that she is now enj oying fresh vegetables out of her own garden, cultivated by the sweat of her brow. Leave it to June to fight inflation in her own inimical way. We begrudgingly say so long to those Central Pennsylvania Alpha Sig alums from the Harrisburg area who will be joining the new "Harrisburg Chapter." We bow to PROGRESS albeit with heavy hearts. -ALICE HART BEAVER

Five area alumnae chapters worked on the preparations and ou r Chicago area collegiate chapter sisters were invited. It was a fun reunion with lots to do since the pool and plenty of good food were available. We participated in a Flea Market open to all sorority groups in July. We worked in a flurry to collect items to fill our booth and set up our area, but we had such a good time meeting people during the hours we worked that it was worth-while. We made a nice profit for our Philanthropic Fund and found that this was indeed an enjoyable way to earn money and work together. Ruth Neff Petree A A toured the Pacific Northwest this summer. We hope to see some slides from Ruth at one of our upcoming meetings. We're looking forward to an active year and hope this is a good year for Alpha Sigs everywhere.- COLLETTE WALLACE FAHRIC

Our maj or concern is how to encourage the graduating collegiates to become members of alumnae groups, f~ r we know how mu ch they will miss if they forge t the:r A~A associations. We would appreciate any suggestions or ideas. We did have a great time catching up on news.

The officers for the 1973-75 term are Karen Olson, president; Jean Anton, vice-president; Libby Moore, secretary ; Joanne Sehl, treasurer; and Sandy Ford, editor. We are certainly looking forward to the upcoming months.-SANDY FoRD

TRI-CITY, FLORIDA Book reviews by chapter members were the highlights of the March meeting of the Tri-City Alumnae held at the home of Margaret Park ZZ. Sally Constantinou XX presented Marjorie Holmes' Two from Galilee; Billie Cousins KK reviewed Ain't It Right to Keep Fit by Adele Davis. Both reviews were certainly enjoyable. Also at our March meeting Pauline Preston AA received her pin for fifty years' membership in Alpha Sigma Alpha, and Emma Frost 'Tt'Tt, magazine chairman, announced that our alumnae had sent $146 .73 in subscription fees to National Headquarters.

FALL 1973

Norma Huberling's KK home was transformed into a bit of Hawaii for cur June meeting. Norma had just returned from a three week trip to Hawaii with all of the decorations for a beautiful Luau. Hawaiian food was served with chopsticks. Each member was dressed in Hawaiian apparel. Her co-hostesses for the gala event were D orothy Shideman KK, Suzanne Shettle AB, and Billie Cousins KK. Our chapter officers for the coming year are Suzanne Shettle, AB, president; Emma Frost 'Tt'Tt, vice-president; Billie Cousins KK, secretary ; and Sally Constantinou XX, treasurer.- DoROTHY K .

TULSA, OKLAHOMA In this fall edition I regret to take you back to our State Day meeting but it was the highlight of the year. Many Tulsa alums traveled through a continuous downpour to Northeastern State College at Tahlequah where we were graciously received by the collegiate chapter. However the rain didn' t dampen our spirits. After registration and coffee, we were entertained with clever skits, a takeoff on the Follies and a song fest with guitar accompaniment. At noon 35 dripping gals entered the dining room of the Restaurant of the Cherokees for a delicious buffet luncheon. The highlight of luncheon was having our own Judy Winters back with us as guest speaker for the affair. The luncheon would not have been complete without the collegiate and alum group singing. The enthusiasm spread as individuals popped up with renditions of their favorite songs. In April, Paula Halfast Br, Bobbie Thompson Burwell Br, and Barbara McPherson Br were hostesses at a salad supper in the club room of the Barcelona. The officers for the coming year were installed by Rhetta Nesbitt R obinson Br, Province XII Director. On a delightful May day A"'2.As and their families gathered at LaFortune Park for a picnic supper followed by an auction of favorite baked goods. The profits from the auction went into our philanthropic fund. June closed a very busy year for Sue Jones LaBorde Br and Lora Patterson Sipes rr in Tulsa City Panhellenic. L ora served as chairman of the scholarship committee and Sue as chairman of the hospitality committee which was responsible for all social events for Panhellenic. We're looking forward to hearing from you in the next PHOENIX.-LORA P. SIPES
