Founders' Day 197 4 Celebrating the five founders of our sorority each November 15th, reaffirms our individual belief in their stated purpose: the association shall be to cultivate friendship among its members, and in every way to create pure and elevating sentiments, to perform such deeds and to mould such opinions as will tend to elevate and ennoble womanhood in the world. So that we might direct our endeavors toward the achievement of that purpose, they provided us with an aim of physical, social, spiritual and intellectual development. In striving these past 73 years for our Founders' goal, we have often seen that the attainment of that goal is not what matters, it is the things that are met with by the way that make our sorority a lifetime pledge. Since its founding at Longwood College, Alpha Sigma Alpha has carved many facets on the rough stone that will emerge a diamond in its 75th year, 1976. One of the first facets to be carved was that of becoming a national organization, 1903. Another, to hold a "National" convention, was met in 1905. During the next few years, the goal of expanding saw the organization both add and lose chapters, as anti-Greek sentiment developed in the South. An attempt to concentrate on teachers' colleges brought to the roles several well established local organizations. Now came a Constitution, a weekly publication, more elaborate ritual, new symbolism, and strong leadership. These were followed by additional growth, and in 1947 a petition to the National Panhellenic Conference for membership. Because the sorority has continued to grow, we have moved from a small office facility in New York State to our present centralized National Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri. Alpha Sigma Alpha has wisely invested for financial security; created a Housing/ Savings Account system for use by its collegiate chapters; diversified into many new areas through National Chairmen; established undergraduate and graduate scholarships; concentrated on aid to the mentally retarded as a National Philanthrophy; and, published a quarterly magazine, The Phoenix. Recently, we have gone into a Field Representative service and a Province Director Program for our membership. Now, we are once again laying plans for new goals, as we emerge with the scares of loss at last beginning to disappear from the difficulties of the late '60s and early '70s. Our work over the years has been for work's sake, and not for glory. Therefore, as we have laid our goals, and worked toward them, with the foundation of love and sound purpose from Virginia Lee Boyd, Juliette Jefferson Hundley, Calva Hamlet Watson, Louise Burks Cox, and Mary Williamson Hundley, to guide us, we have added far more to our lives and to our sorority than we could see, while we were working. This we will do once again as our new goals are formulated for presentation during our 75th anniversary celebration. In closing, I quote from an anonymous inscription on the Hopkins Memorial Steps, Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts: 'Climb high Climb far Your goal is the sky Your aim is the star." MaryAnn S. Linton President 2

CNVENriON '74

~路路路

My reflections on Convention are nothing short of fantastic. I personally thought the exchange of materials was so very extensive throughout all the workshops .. The enthusiasm for sharing with sisters of all ages from all parts of the country was such a spontaneous emotion that collegians, officers and alumnae were truly one big family during our four days together. MARY ANN LINTON NATIONAL PRESIDENT

FALL 1974

The Magic of Convention as seen through the eyes of a National Councilor

Immediately following Convention 1972, the National Council of Alpha Sigma Alpha made plans to hold the 1974 National Convention in Pittsburgh, Pa.-two years in the very distant future! To all of us, that time did seem distant, indeed. Plans, decisions, assignments, correspondence, etc., until one day the calendar announced that May, 1974, was here. The flurry of biennial reports, last-minute change and finalizing of plans reached monumental heights with Mary Kay Kuno, National Convention Chairman, at the very eye of the storm. And suddenly, it was June 18, and the convention delegates were arriving at the 路v villiam Penn Hotel! The young and the young at heart had been arriving since early afternoon. Room assignments had been made, and a busy time of meeting roommates and "settling in" ensued. The members of National Council were on hand, greeting old friends and making new acquaintances. This was the evening reserved for the ational Officers' Reception . The Reception was the ational Council's way of saying "Welcome" to all in attendance and to give everyone a chance to say "hello" officially. For the vast majority, this wa a first National Convention, not knowing what was expected of them nor exactly what to expect. As people moved through the receiving lin e, it was a plea ure to be able to put name with face . It wa a joy to see the look on collegiate delegate ' face which clearly said, " I just hook hand with the rational President! " Greeting old friends who were again attending a rational Convention wa the fro ting on the cake for u . the days moved swiftly ahead, everyone was kept bu y with busine s sessions, workshops, etc. The Old Timers' Luncheon honoring those who had attended more than one Convention wa fun-filled, a well a inspirational, making ever one letermined to one day be an "Oldtimer." Thi proved once again that memberhip in lpha igma lpha i a life-long commitment.

Thur day night and the magic was interwoven with everyone in white for the initiation service and the traditional White Dinner which followed. As a member of the officers' team for initiation, standing at my station and watching all enter, I was caught up in the solemnity and beauty as the one-year member entered side by side with the fifty-plus-year members. For many of the alumnae delegates, this was the first opportunity to witnes an initiation ceremony since collegiate days. It was a time for renewal of vows. The Installation of ra tional Counci l and the Award Banquet meant time for departure was approaching. Those who had timidly shaken hand at the Officers' Reception were now vowing to return in 1976-amid exuberant hugs. The magic of Convention had truly captivated me as everyone pontaneously left her seat to make a friend hip circle around the entire banquet room. The familiar words of our "Hymn to Alpha Sigma lpha" had never been so poignant. THE PHOENIX

Convention- An Experience to Remember Co l legi a te Del eg ate

Convention-an experience to remember. Yes, this was what I was to say at the end of Convention '74. Situated in Pittsburgh, Pa., the week was to be fun, interesting, and quite informative. As the collegiate delegate from the Alpha Alpha Chapter, I met Alpha Sigs from all over the country and experienced the feeling of sisterhood. W'ednesday was a big day for us as all of the delegates, alums, advisers, and officers assembled for the first business meeting o.ÂŁ the week. Led by MaryAnn Linton, National President, we were informed of the business for the rest of the week. We would later elect n ational officers, discuss financial business, and hear some great speakers. The remainder of the day was spent in workshops with particular emphasis on rush. Elaine Shiverdecker, National Rush Chairman, led us in sessions for rush. She gave us the do's and the don' t's for fall and informal rush. Girls from other chapters exchanged and shared the ir ideas for rush. All of us agreed at the end of the week that the rush workshops were greatly benefici al and that we would relate our ideas to our chapters. Wednesday was the day for the Scholarship Luncheon and a delightfu l speech given by the incomparaab l~ \1 Vilma Wilson Sharp, President Emerita.

What to buy at the A'LA Boutique was a hard decision for n early all

'!\That an Alpha Sig! She simply stole the show with all of the touching memories of her Alpha Sig days. She is a remarkable lady and I was quite proud when one of my Alpha Alpha sisters took my picture with her later that day. But most of all, I was very happy for m y sisters who were awarded for their scholastic achievement. Congratulations to those girls. The afternoon as every afternoon was spent in more discussion of rush and every imaginable subject concerning rush. We talked about voting, skits, food, and just exchanged thoughts. That evening, we prepared for the Rush Banquet with each chapter bringing an item to display at the tables during our dinner. There were many beautiful displays. Pillows, red satin garters, candles, dolls, and fl ags were just a few of the items made b y Alpha Sigs. In the evening, if not at the boutique or leafing through the scrapbooks, we could be found relaxing and rapping about the day's events. This was an excellent time to let my hair hang down and find out something about my sisters. We all were working to make Alpha Sigma Alpha the best sorority in the nation. I may not remember all the names of the girls, but I know that I have sisters everywhere. Yes, Convention was an experience. Sisterhood and Sharing-Convention '74. 5

Magic Moments A lumnae D eleg ate

In 1958 Perry Como recorded the popular "Magic Moments"- " magic moments, memories we've been sharing; magic moments, when two hearts are caring; time can' t erase the memory of the e magic moments filled with love." In 1974 Alpha Sigma Alpha at Convention in Pittsburgh recorded their own "magic moments filled with love." On the opening day of Convention a magical force brought sisters from all over the nationfrom Boston to Tulsa-from Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale-to Pittsburgh and it was immediately evident that we were really "sisters arriving home." "\1\Te were anxious to share old experiences but eager to learn together ways of creating and expressing our love as Alpha Sigma Alphas. Each convention clay continued to bind together collegians, alumnae, and national officers. From business meetings and workshops, we quickly learned that names so often seen and heard actually do have faces and personalities. Daily we came in personal contact with our si ters whether it was conversing whi le in the elevator, expressing a feeling in group dynamics, sitting together at a meal, or chattering while

wa iting for closed doors to open for us to enter into another aspect of our sisterhood-our initiation ritual and installation of national officers. Thursday, the day of our initiation ritual, each of us attired in ensembles of white gathered gai ly in a hallway waiting for entrance to the ritual of bringing a new sister into our bond. As the doors opened, the silence flowed out of the room. The mystic and reverent feeling came upon us all. As we entered, voices could no longer be heard. This was a room fi lled with Alpha Sigma Alphas-collegians and al umnaeall of us sisters, and in our eyes was wisdom, age, youth, happiness, reflection, meditation, memories. The ritual began. For each of us it was a renewing of our sorority vows. For alumnae, renewing those vows created a magical feeling of "forever youngness." Then the knock came and a new sister was welcomed. Too quickly Convention adjourned. We readied to leave Pittsburgh and in our bags were packed momentos of meetings, luncheons, and dinner . In our minds were packed ideas ready to share with our sisters at home. In our hearts were packed memories of friendships made in attending Convention 1974 and "time can't erase the memory of these magic moments filled with love." THE PHOENIX

The Camera Eye of a National Chairman Click! Whiz! Snap! Strange noises but I got the job done. Long after the convention was over I bet you thanked me for sneaking into your suitcase when you went to Pittsburgh. Yes, those were some hectic days and I really got a workout-whew! But it was all worthwhile if I helped you share Convention '74 with those back home. Let me take you through some of my favorite photos. The first day I was at the registration desk g:e.eting alumnae and collegiate delegates and VISitors. Undertones of "do you remember . . . did she ever?'' and "have you paid your registration fee?" kept the lobby humming. I did manage to take a photo of Elaine Shiverdecker, National Rush Chairman, explaining to a collegian what to do with her rush banquet items. I couldn't wait till Wednesday to get a picture On Friday I went wild and the pictures are of the tables showing all of the colorful ideas. many. Snooping around while many others were Here is one photo that showed the feeling of on tour I found Paula Cyrus, now National Convention. After a long day of leading workRush Chairman, cleaning up the boutique with shops, selling in the boutique (and buying too!), a little help from her friends. Also, I found and getting the newsletter ready for the next day, Jud~ Holman, former National Editor, studiously I managed to take my tired frame to the 17th floor. I found a circle of girls (a few collegians, lookmg over the numerous scrapbooks to decide alumnae, and national chairmen) and a guitar, on a winner by that night's banquet, and Marlys engaged in a sharing of ideas, some talent, and 路w hite, National Colonies Chairman, pacing the having fun . A picture worth waiting till 2 A.M. floor trying to find an opening line to say as Mistress of Ceremonies of the Awards Banquet. to get! Hoping to catch a few winks was truly a dream I admitted, for there was always a picture to be gotten. My best was still to come. The Awards Banquet is a very formal affair and rightly so for it is the end of Convention week and similar to putting the finishing touches on a painting. Much preparation is involved both by collegians who work hard in their chapters during the bienium, and the National Officers who screen these chapter reports looking for new ideas and who in many cases must decide on the best all-around effort made by a chapter in a given area, for example the Panhellenic Award. Now, it was my task to get these winners to stand still for one short moment to get their picture so we all can remember who they are, and a task that was, for the excitement was so great that I believe I was Exhibit and Scrapbook Awards were accepted by Catheeven sitting on the edge of my table!

After having had o much fun the past few days I hated to see Saturday come. Belonging to a chairman, I said a few goodbyes before I whisked m y elf away to my next assignment, a meeting with the President. With business

Convention Legacy If you want a good means of starting conversations with strangers at Convention, go as an obviously pregnant woman! Such was my c?ndition when I served as Chainnan of ConventiOn here in Pittsburgh this past summer. I found that I needed no name tag; the word spread fa t about my distinguished feature and sisters would come over to me and say "You HAVE to be Mary Kay." (Tactful, weren't they? Why did I bother to wear maternity clothes?) Then the comments ranged from "Oh, how wonderful!" to "You poor thing!" I was the brunt of many a joke: the Big-Timer at Old Timer's Luncheon; at Rush Banquet, an example of another meaning of Rush (as, to the hosptial). We all had fun speculating when and where the baby might arrive, but fortunately that little A2A legacy waited until 4:46 A.M. Saturday, July 6. Lisa Elizabeth Kuno weighed 7 lbs. even and had lots of dark, curly hair which has become light brown. Now, at the age of seven weeks, she re ponds to the voices of her adoring parents with a smile and her own special little sounds of communication.

Lisa Elizabeth Kuno

One day, we shall be communicating to her the loving thoughts we have been so fortunate to have you share with us. When I reflect upon Convention, it is with very pleasant memorie of all the wonderful sisters who were there. The greatest part about Alpha SigmÂŁ1 Alpha is the feeling of closeness and genuine caring about each other, even though we may never have met before. \1\Tith such wonderful sisters as you throughout the ation, we are confident that Lisa DOES have a good country in which to live. Mary Kay Kuno AG Convention Chairman, 1974

CONVENTION ... A HOT TIME! by Paula Cyrus ational Rush Chairman Spending a week at a ational Convention is a wonderful experience. It is filled with meeting , inging, friend , busy day , and late nights. On Saturday everyone was leaving for home but I tayed until Sunday after missing an early flight. I will have to admit it was sad seeing ever one leave after pending a week together. By late afternoon the William Penn was quiet with only five Alpha ig there for the night. By that evening I was getting very bored but mu h too tired to get out and see the city. Ela ine Shiverdecker, Vice President of Collegiate Program, topped by my room to eli cus ru h plan . Vle had ju t commented on how quiet it wa in the hotel when we both heard the u ual city iren of a eli tant fire. either of u commented on the iren until they got 10

louder and louder. We ran to the window to see where the trucks were going. Much to our surprise, the William Penn was surrounded by eight fire trucks and several police cars. lt couldn't be the hotel! Ju t in case, we grabbed, not our valuable , but our cameras to take pictures for The Phoenix. We ran down to the lobby but no one eemed to be concerned. Once outside, we found firemen with hoses at every door. After an hour of taking picture , questioning firemen, and wishing all the Convention delegate were with us, we found out there wa a mall grease fire in one of the hotel kitchens. fter everything wa under control, we returned to our rooms to pa k. 1ÂŁ you mi sed Conention, I an a ure ou that the lpha ig had a hot time in Pitt burgh!

Epsilon Epsilon says: "Hoagy, as we call Nancy around the house, is a well-rounded person. She is active on campus and within the chapter. Though she carried a full work load, she was able to keep her grades up. She is an out-going person; she is well known on campus, especially within her major field of business. Hoagy is the type of person who leaves an impression on everyone she meets. Any activities or job that she is involved in is always done well and on time."

Frost Fidelity Award Patricia Hines, Alpha Gamma Chapter, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, has been chosen the 1974 recipient of the Frost Fidelity Award, presented to a collegiate member who has served Alpha Sigma Alpha far beyond the call of duty. Patty has served her chapter as senior member of the Standards Board, assistant rush chairman, and rush chairman. It was in the latter office that she gave her all by instilling unity, excitement, and enthusiasm among the sisters so that Alpha Gamma took in not only the large pledge class they needed, but the largest pledge class on campus. Patty herself makes a point of getting to know all the ru hees and even lielping in rush during her time of student teaching. Alpha Gamma says, "Patty is what every A'LA could ever hope to be. She is outgoing and friendly. Patty's biggest contribution is her wit and good humor which combine into a spirit that is hard to know unless you know Patty." Patty is active in the intramural sports program; has collected for the Heart Fund, White Cane Day, and Muscular Dystrophy; helps others with their English, which is her major; and the list of activities continues. A member of the English Club and Student Advisory Council of the English Department, she has several times been on the Dean's List. Chosen as Ideal Pledge of her pledge class, Patty has certainly carried through her loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha. "Patty's generosity of time and energy goes beyond the walls of our sorority room, as her community activities have shown. She is well liked all over campus; her friend liness goes beyond the sisters. Our nickname for her is 'Patty, the Perpetual Pledge' because she

has not lo t that feeling of exci_tement for rush. She has given her full measure over and over again, and will continue to give long after her college days are behind her. She is the type of person who always gives of herself to others. Alpha Gamma Chapter will lose a great deal when Patty graduates. Patty is in every aspect the ideal sister."

Ideal Pledge Award The 1974 recipient of the Ideal Pledge Award i Jennifer Wiles, Phi Phi Chapter, Northwest Missouri State Univer ity. Jennifer served her pledge class as social chairman. She created spirit, not only through her 14

pledge class, but throughout the entire chapter. She was always promoting enthusiasm for mixers and other social functions when others were a bit pessimistic. Jennifer works hard at everything she does. THE PHOENIX

During Homecoming she demonstrated a great deal of leadership and creative thinking in her work on the float and in making an outstanding clown costume for the parade. She revealed to her pledge class her responsibility and willingnes by volunteering her many ideas for their out-of-town skip . She was always one of the first one to help with pledge and chapter moneymaking projects. Not only does Jennifer work for the sorority, but she also works for the college and the community. She was a wrestling cheerleader during her pledgeship and is a Homecoming representative. She served her community by going on a drive for cerebral palsy, and she walked twentyseven mi les for a retarded walkathon. She maintained a 3.0 grade point average despite her fall schedule of activities and working in a local clothing store. Jennifer has two older sisters who are also Phi Phi members. Her chapter wrote: "She is a very dedicated sister to all. Being what we call a 'town girl,' (she lives in Maryvi lle) she spent what seemed like every spare moment she had in the annex with her sisters. We feel she has all the qualities of an ideal pledge."

Two National Officers attended State Day this year. They were National Constitution Chairman Mrs. Eugene Crompton from Leesburg, Virginia, and National Philanthropic Chairman Miss Barbara Johnston from Kalamazoo, Michigan, our guest speaker.

Province XIII Our Province XIII "Alpha Sigma Alpha Happening" took place on a typical 70 degree spring day in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, April 6, 1974. We were all very disappointed that Gamma Up ilon, New Mexico Highlands University, was unable to be with us, but forty-one women were in attendance from Beta Beta Chapter, University of Northern Colorado, and the Denver Alumnae group. After a songfest led by Diane Anderson of Beta Beta Chapter, we broke into workshop/ discussion groups to discuss such topics as collegiate-alumnae relations, rush, and Greek acceptance on campuses in 1974. A buffet luncheon followed the workshops and after dessert, Kathy Burkwest, Denver Alumnae Province Day Chairman, called the meeting to order. Patricia Tighe, Denver Alumnae president gave the activity report for the year, followed by Vicki Berleffi, president of Beta Beta, with their year's activities and honors. We were very p leased and proud to have our own Denver Alumnae, Esther Kauffman Gatseos, National Vice-President of Development, as our guest speaker. Our day concluded with the "Hymn to Alpha Sigma Alpha" and all of us looking forward to meeting again next year in Denver.-Kathleen Bu,-kwest) Pmvince XIII ChaiTman

Mrs. Weldon J. Winter, Vice-President of Alumnae, and Mrs. Alice Gower, CMSU Dean of Women, were our speakers and they were excellent speakers. The theme of State Day was "S isters Make The World Go Round ." The Zeta Zetas started State Day off with breakfast at the sorority house with all of our other sisters. We also had registration at this time. The conferences were next and I feel that everyone gained knowledge from these talks. The subjects for discussion were fina nces, philanthropic, rush, scholarship, alumnae relations, and pledge program. Reports from the chapter presidents were given at the banquet and it seems as if all the chapters are doing great! Entertainment at the banquet was provided by the Zeta Zeta singing group, the Alphabets. Many of our A'LA members spent the night on April 5th with us and everyone had a good time then also.

Although she maintained an active member hip in many clubs in M iami, she enjoyed our repre enting A2.A there in Panhellenic which she loved best of all. I have taken her monthly for several years. "Mary's greatest interest wa Alpha Sigma Alpha, as many who have attended the Tational Conventions can atte t. She enjoyed meeting her friend of many years there. She also greatly appreciated the fine girls who were recipients of her cholarship, and who came to personally expre s their appreciation and make her acquaintance. "We will all mi s her very much."

Tri-City Alumna For the last four years, Sally Weyler Constantinou, XX, has been teaching lipreading in the Adult Education Program of Pinellas County, Florida. The classes have grown from a single cia s of 13 students, to two classes of over 20 tudents each. Since the classes began in 1970, nearly 150 adults have been enrolled. Because adult lipreading material is so limited, Sally found it necessary to write much of her own material, and has recently completed a text book which she uses for the classes.

All in the Family Weddings are always a joy, but this one which united the son of a prominent Alpha Sig and an Alpha Sig girl was very special. Nancy Ann Rule, a Beta Sigma graduate from Southwest Missouri State University, and David Gregory Winter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Weldon John vVinter were married December 29, 1973, at Platt Woods Methodist Church. Mrs. Weldon Winter (Judy De Masters) ZZ served Alpha Sigma Alpha as Philanthropic Chairman and for the past four years as Vice President of Alumnae Program. She says it is good to have another A2.A in the fam ily. Nancy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Robert Rule, graduated with a degree in home economics. David, a Sigma Pi, also graduated from Southwest Missouri State University with a degree in accounting. The couple are living in Ft. Benning, Georgia, because David also received his commission as a Lieutenant in the army when he graduated.

We extend our best wishes to Nancy and David, and we also remind David how lucky he is to have had an Alpha Sig for a mother and now to be married to one.

Letters from Your Field Reps

Dear Sisters, The school year will be started by the time you read this, and soon it will be time to welcome "that" National representative into your chapter. I hope it's not a dread feeling that you are having with my coming but rather an excited feeling. That's how I will be coming to yo u-happy and excited to share and spread our i terhood. Some of you I will already have met, whether it was at Convention (wasn't Convention great!) , a State Day, a visit I've made to your chapter, or just one of those wonderful "chance" meetings. For those of you I haven't met, I'm an office adm inistration major graduating from KSCP of Pittsburgh, Kansas, with a BSBA degree. I was a member of CWENS, an honorary for sophomore women; and I held the offices of treasurer, secretary, vice president, and president in my college chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. I'm looking forward to meeting those I haven' t, see again those I have, and have a chance to hare all my ideas, feelings, and thoughts with Alpha Sigs across the U.S. When I come for a visit just remember, I too was in college only one year ago, and I share many of the interests that you do-especially m Alpha Sigma Alpha. Alpha love, Diane FALL 1974

Dear Sisters, Right now I feel excited, happy, anxious and a little nervous. I met many sisters at Convention and am looking forward to meeting many more in the next year. I am anxious to start my travels to all the different chapters. And yes, I am nervous-will I make the right connections and be able to help where I am needed? I am looking forward to an exciting year as A2.A Field Rep. I hope to be able to bring you new ideas (or exchange them) , helpful hints, ways to solve your problems and an ear to listen to what ever you want to talk about. I live in the mountains of western Pennsylvania -in a town called Johnstown-remember the Great Johnstown Flood? I attended Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa. I received a BS in Business and Administration on June 1st. I majored in Marketing and Reta iling. While in school I participated in A2.A, WAA, ASPA, Student Program Board and Varsity Lacrosse. I received the Ideal Pledge and Elizabeth Bird Small awa rd from m y chapter and -the Outstanding Sophomore from Key and Triangle in 1971. I was also selected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities and Pa nhellenic Women of the Year. Have a very h appy and exciting year. Good lu ck in msh and all your other functions.

Alpha Longwood College Farmville , Virg inia Our enthusiastic members and p ledges enjoyed a very rewarding and successful year. Our pledge class was fantastic and they fulfilled their aims with vim and vigor. They invited a representative from a local florist to speak about the art of flower arranging. To fulfill their spiritual and physical aims, the p ledge class gave a picnic and held an inspirational for the members at Longwood Cabin. The long awaited pledge party, "Laugh-Out," was a great success and was enjoyed as much by the girls who put it on as it was by the members who viewed it. Beverly Anne Patterson was selected by her class as Ideal Pledge. Greek Week ' 74 at Longwood and Hampden-Sydney was a big success. Events included a banquet, movies, and a blood drive. One of our members, Chris Witherow, was named Miss Greek 1974. The Alphas were lucky enough to win a keg of beer in the Greek Games-and in (of all things) leap froggin ! Many Alphas were in the spotlight on campus. Susan Law and Carolyn Barnett were senior representatives on the Spring Festival Court. Ten members of our pledge class were tapped as Colleagues- sophomore helpers during freshmen orientation. Some of our juniors will serve as Orientation leaders; one of our members will serve next year as a Resident Counselor. Several members made the Dean's List. Within the chapter Kim Terry was nominated for the Frost Fidelity Award . Chrissy Kessler attained the highest grade point average and Susan Law was selected as Best Active.- ELEANOR BoRBAS

Alpha Alpha Miami University Oxford , Ohio A walkout to Ball State, planned by the fall pledge class, flagged the beginning of winter quarter. The Chi Chi Chapter gladly shared their suite with us and we enjoyed meeting their pledges and hearing what they were required to do before initiation. The Chi Chis treated us to a basketball game, and afterwards we feasted at the Ponderosa Steak House. Upon returning from Muncie, Indiana, informal winter rush began with an open suite, followed by a game party, basketball game, and several coke dates.

FALL 1974

Spring quarter sprung with a burst of enthusiasm from our members. Everyone gathered at the WRA cabin for an overnight and fireside. Girls challenged each other to a game of Twister, taught some how to play bridge, and all joined in a songfest which continued through the night. The next morning we devoured stacks of pancakes and pints of lemonade. At our first Scholarship Banquet of the new year, Alpha Alphas presented Mrs. Connie Naylor with a memento of our gratitude for the help and love she had given us as p ledge adviser. Connie reluctantly left this position to continue her work toward her Master's degree in elementary education. At the same time, we welcomed Mrs. L inda Ribaric as pledge adviser. In 1972 Linda graduated from Miami with a B.S. degree in business. While a member of Alpha Alpha she held the offices of vice-president and parliamentarian. The winter pledge class took their big sisses on a picnic to Heuston Woods. They provided fried chicken and homemade chocolate chip cookies which were um-mm good! Later they tried throwing their pledge trainer into the lake but, fortunate ly, were unsuccessful. Spring rush included an open suite, a Craft night, a picnic in the Formal Gardens, and a party at Bangs where the girls eagerly fed antique amusement machines with coins. Ohio State Day was an exciting experience for the new members of Alpha Alpha. Twenty-six of us attended the meeting and luncheon held in Columbus by the Newark-Zanesville Alumnae Chapter. The following weekend, the Alphas had 100% attendance at the annual spring formal. We reserved tables at Dantes in Cincinnati and hired a band. The girls and guys had a fantastic time. Our Spring Formal King was Fred Wolfe, E laine Carlson Wolfe's husband. After pledging spring rushees, the Alpha Alphas began taking action toward fall formal rush by designating Thursdays as rush workshop nights for the various committees. Then we had a formal rush workshop at which alumnae gave tips on rush techniques and etiquette. The seniors posed as rushees and the other members practiced newly-learned techniques on them. A combination of fireside, fireup-for-finals, and farewell to seniors ended the quarter. The honors and awards acquired by members were the Elizabeth Bird Small Award nominee by Elaine Carlson; the Frost Fidelity Award nominee by Joan Davis; Outstanding Senior of Alpha Alpha Award by Marcia Cox; and Outstanding Junior of Alpha Alpha Award by Joan Davis.

Our philanthropic project was prompted by the Xenia disaster in the spring. We made colorful turtle bean bags for the toyless children whose homes were demolished by the tornados. The Alpha Alpha's Executive Board had a particularly nice year. Mrs. Melba Fink, our adviser, held meetings at her house and afterwards served us home-cooked dinners. Needless to say, Exec Board attendance was very good. Confidentially, Melba Fink makes the best cake this side of the Miami River. We should not only acknowledge her wonderful cooking ability but also thank her for the excellent help, advice, and guidance she has given us in the past years.- CAROL MORRISON

Alpha Gamma Indiana University of Pennsylvania Indiana , Pennsylvania Another great year has come to an end and the Alpha Cams enjoyed their summer vacations with a feeling of accomplishment for the semester. As we look back to the spring semester many activities are brought to mind. Rush proved to be very successful and we were so proud of our "bubbling" pledges. Party themes were "Fifties Revival," " A'2.A Goes to China," "Sisterhood Is . . . ," and "Rose Friendship Garden." The pledges worked hard on donut sales and a raffie to finance the formal dance held at the Dude R anch with a theme of "Dancing in the Moonlight." Linda Slack received the Ideal Pledge Award. True sisterhood was getting to know members other chapters. We travelled to Slippery Rock to Gamma Xis a helping hand during rush. It was worthwhile experience. We also shared many times with the great girls from Edinboro.

We were all very excited because the Convention was held so near us. All semester we prepared articles for the boutique and put our artistic ability into creating centerpieces for the formal dinner. Thanks to much hard work and many hours of preparation from Blenda Steele, A'2.A captured the "Spirit Award" at Sigma Chi "Derby Days" during University Weekend. Instead of singing in Greek Sing, we volunteered our services to usher. The Alpha Cams looked sharp in their red polyester knit Eisenhower jackets and skirts with white turtle-necks. We were especially proud of our members who gained various honors this year. Diane Scattene and Karen Kubistek were chosen as Big Indian cheerleaders for the 1974-75 season, while Jill Trainor was Sweetheart of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Karen Kubistek will be the Pershing Rifle Sponsor next year. The Elizabeth Bird Small nominee was Paula Puskaric, while Patty Hines was the Frost Fidelity recipient. Suzy Beyer spent an enjoyable semester in Spain, but was glad to be back with all her friends. Many tears of joy and sadness were shed for graduating seniors and transfers. A farewell banquet was held at McSorley's with a program titled "This Is Your Life." All the good times shared together will be remembered always. Several members spent a weekend together at Kennywood Park. Summer doe n t stop the Indiana Alpha Sigs from having a good time together. -SuE HoLNAIDER

Beta Bet.a University of Northern Colorado Greeley, Colorado The Beta Beta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha had a very busy spring, starting off with spring rush. Our first rush party proved to us that we have some very interesting and unusual artistic talent when it comes to dyeing Easter eggs. We dyed the eggs to put in Easter baskets that were delivered to an old folk's home. The next two parties were a game party, including jacks, and a delicious ice cream social . A "hot" preferential chili dinner concluded rush week, adding new pledges to the sorority. We are very proud to announce that three out of six Outstanding Greek Awards for this year were given to Beta Betas--Cindy Colver, Joy Hasselberger, and Heather Hogan. Pledge and active pranks, functions with fraternities, and projects to earn money for the Billy Martinez Bi-Lingual School finished off the month of April. May brought around Derby Days sponsored by the Sigma Chi fraternity. These days were filled with stealing hats, fun, and games. Even though we didn't win any prizes we sure had fun. Dinner-Dance, which was held at the Holiday Inn in Dillon, Co., had a fancy French setting and everyone had a great time! The quarter was concluded with a delicious MotherPatroness potluck lunch, initiation for the winter pledges, fraternity functions, preparation for fall rush, a brunch for the seniors, and Graduation Tea. Our sorority awards were given to some deserving girls: Ideal Pledge Award to Kris R ichardson; Elizabeth Bird Small Award to Joy Hasselberger; Frost Fidelity Award to Janan Crouch; Outstanding Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Awards to Lynn Dungan, Kyle Hester, Sherri Samanski, and Joy Hasselberger, respectively.-BARBRA ARMBRUSTER

Epsilon Epsilon Emporia Kansas State College Emporia, Kansas Second semester was a very busy and successful one for Epsilon Epsilon chapter. Senior weekend was held in March and we entertained senior girls from high schools all over the state. We became tour guides for our campus and tried (as best we could!) to answer their questions. The weekend proved to be beneficial for us, as well as for the seniors. We began the month of April with an April Fools' Day picnic in our back yard. Everyone enjoyed the good food and the closeness that was felt among the members. The next week was Greek Week on the Emporia State campus. A Penny Carnival started off the festivities and the proceeds went to charity. The next night was exchange dinners where members of sororities and fraternities on campus went to each other's house for supper. It gives people a chance to see what other houses are like and provides an opportunity for each to show off their house. An event called the "Greek Games" was held the next night. This night, usually the highlight of the week, is where aU the Greeks on campus participate in games {such as tug-o-war and wheelbarrel

THE PHOENIX

races) and then all meet for a picnic afterwards. The last night of Greek Week is a beer bust for Greeks only. This whole week helps strengthen the ties between the Greeks on our campus, besides being a lot of fun! Also in April, we held an open house for senior girls in Emporia who were interested in attending Emporia State. We met some very nice girls and it was a good opportunity to introduce them to Greek life. Our Spring Informal was a combination hayrack ride and outdoor party at one of our alum's houses out in the country. The favors were little brown jugs that said "Spring lnformal-1974." We ended the semester with our traditional big sis-little sis picnic. As usual, the picnic was rained out, but we still had a good time. The pledges put on a skit about their big sisses and the seniors gave their parting wills. It was sad to say goodbye to the girls that were graduating, but we all share a common bond of sisterhood that can never be broken.-KANDI KNABE

Eta Eta Chapter Kansa路s State College Pittsburg, Kansas After Christmas vacation, the Eta Etas returned to campus with mounting enthusiasm as the spring Sweetheart Formal drew near.

Our formal spring rush party was lots of fun with the theme being, "Go Bananas." Banana punch and chocolate fondue were served as refreshments. Charades, songs, and scrap book previews were enjoyed by all of us. We took pride in entering all the events which were sponsored by the fraternities on campus. Western Week, sponsored by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, was enjoyed by all the Eta Etas. We won a 1st place trophy for participating in the contests throughout the week. IFC Greek Week was another activity for us. The money raising project for this event was the auctioning-off of five officers from every sorority to slave a whole day. We also gave our annual Mr. Basketball Award. This year the award went to Barrie Williamson. Votes from the spectators for the best player were counted and the trophy was given at the last home game of the season. One other activity for the Eta Etas is the Pi Kappa Alpha Greek Gas. After many repeated wins, this year we won the 100% attendance trophy and two other relay contests for 1st place. Every spring, our chapter has a Senior Breakfast where the graduating seniors are honored. Each senior writes a will and testament to be read by her. The underclassmen get together and write poems for each senior, composed of crazy things she had done throughout her

FALL 1974

four years of college. Afterwards, a party was planned and we all enjoyed the day together. The theme for our spring informal party was "Spring Sport Party." Everyone dressed up in sport attire, such as, football players, basketball players, tennis players, rugby players, motor cyclists, referees and other sports attire costumes. A band provided music for all to dance and have a great time. Competition is close for every Eta Eta and Sigma Chi Derby Day never goes by unnoticed. Advertising campaigns from each sorority are organized throughout the week. A scavenger hunt, signature contest, attendance for the moon mark of Sigma Chi and the games on the oval are all competitive between the sororities on campus. This year the Eta Etas retired our trophy for winning Derby Day Week for the 7th year in a row. It was quite an exciting week, filled with hard work. Carol Beth Cukjati was our bathing beauty candidate for Miss Derby Day. During the year we participated in intramural sports. These included, volleyball, bowling, softball and basketball. The Alpha Sigs volunteered their services for the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon. We also collected on campus for the Mother's Marc:h of Dimes. Our money-making projects for the year included selling mums for Homecoming, n.emo boards and of course our philanthropic project, selling magazines. Over twenty Eta Etas attended State Day at Warrensburg this spring. It was great fun to see all our sisters from all over and to share all the activities going on with all. We all enjoyed the workshops and especially visiting with Wilma Wilson Sharp. As can be seen, the Eta Eta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha leads a very exciting and fulfilling life at Kansas State College of Pittsburg. The Eta Etas are rested up after this summer vacation and are ready to get back into the swing of their busy fall schedule at schooL-DEBBIE MooNEY

Phi Phi Northwest Missouri State University Maryville, Missouri The Phi Phi Chapter took part in many last minute activities which witnessed the close of the spring semester. Greek Week was a fun-filled spring happening which included the Phi Phis in bicycle races, tug of war, a canoe race and the egg hitting contest. The week was ended with a dance held by the Greeks on. campus. The members and their parents enjoyed a family picnic. A basket dinner, entertainment, visitation of the chapter room, and meeting other parents helped to familiarize and acquaint the parents more with the type of life a Phi Phi lives. A new addition of spring activities was added within the chapter known as reverse day. The members were required to do pledge duties and recognize the pledges as members. The chapter ate the evening meal together and then proceeded on a "P.E. 2,000," which included jogging to all the fraternity houses and serenading them. A summer picnic held in July reunited some of the Alphas over the summer. Plans concerning fall rush and Homecoming were discussed here, along with just having a good time.

The excitement mounted as Phi Phis arrived to school early to prepare for fall ru h. Besides the traditional successful Flapper Party, a type of Great Gatsby Garden Party was among the rush activities. Dresses and hats representing that era were worn in the beautiful garden setting. The cheerleader are supporting the fighting Bearcats on the football field and one Phi Phi member, Eddi Branski, is among these spirited girls. Eddi's talent and charm were displayed this year as she was chosen first runner-up in the Miss Northwest Missouri Pageant. Terri Crossley, another active Phi Phi, has been very busy this year as chairman of our successful rush and newly elected president of Dye's Dolls, an organization of girls to assist the coach and visiting players during the football season. The sounds of football bring to mind that the sounds of Homecoming will soon be heard. Hammering on floats and practictng songs and dances for skits will echo in everyone's mind as preparation for the big day begins. In keeping with the 1974 theme, "Famous Movies," we are working on a float centered around the movie Camelot and the skit is based on the movie, " O klahoma." The Phi Phis are working very hard to make Homecoming a successful and enjoyable event for everyone.- MARCIA LAMBRIGHT

medley of hits from "the SO's" which included "At the Hop," "It' My Party," "He's So Fine," and "Chapel of Love." We also dressed to suit the occasion in our SO's outfit .

The week ended with a semi-formal dance at the Blackfriar Dinner Theatre.-BETTY LEWIS

Chi Chi Ball State University Muncie, Indiana Chi Chis started the year with the promise of much activity to come. Events for fall included such activities as Watermelon Bust and Greek Week, which included Tug-o-War and Circus Feed. Homecoming was also a part of these activities. Chi Chis were once again paired up with the <l>ll.8's, the winning team which resulted in a first place last year for their float en try. Panhellenic Council has introduced a new schedule for the formal rush activities, so fall quarter saw Chi Chis' time occupied with learning about this new system, and getting to know some future members. Variety Show rehearsals also got off to a good start thi fall. Once again the theme centered around a tribute to Walt Disney and featured many of the lovable characters of his imagination, such as Jimminy Cricket and Mary Poppins, as well as the delightful music from these mu icals. -MARGE KoLODZIEJ

Beta Theta Central Michigan University Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Time, time, busy, busy, busy. This 1s how the Beta Thetas have been this past semester. We would like to take you back down memory lane in the Beta Theta Time Machine. January started it all off with a great fattening potluck with the nearby Mt. Pleasant Alumnae Chapter. It was not all eating but work too. The final touches for the Cancer Presentation wert' made. Working with the alumnae and Cancer Foundation a "Cancer Presentation for Women" was put on for the campus and the community. It was a tremendous success. ext Beta Theta Time Machine will take you to rush. New techniques and many new faces.

The spring pledge class of 1974 voted Jean Gawlak the Judy Morris Best Active Award. The Time Machine is bringing us back closer to Finals and Senior Farewell. Before we leave let us stop off at Ginna Valreance's family cottage for the traditional House Party. It was a beautiful weekend up north with trees and plenty of bugs.

Be+.a Iota Radford College Radford, Virginia Spring quarter for Beta Iotas of Radford College was filled with a variety of meaningful activities. Panhellenic initiated the system of open-bidding this year so we had no formal spring rush. Following a "Bring-a-Friend Party" we extended bids to several girls. At Easter time we sent home-made cards to our foster child, Esther, and also Easter baskets to the Head-Start children at First Christian Church in Radford. On April 25, the Beta Iotas proudly initiated the 1973-1974 winter pledges. The first weekend of May was event-filled.

We walked away with placings in the three-legged race, chugging contest and bikini contest and with an over-all fifth placing. That same weekend, the May Day activities on campus took place. We had two representatives in the 1974 May Day Court: Amy Maliefsky (senior) and Kathy Gaffney (sophomore) . On May 5, we held our Mother Patroness ceremony and honored two mothers. Throughout April and May we visited the Head-Start children again and devoted time to them each week. Our final philanthropic project was a collection of clothes and toiletries for the St. Alban Hospital. Beta Iota held its annual Cabin Parties at Clayton Lake State Park on May 11 and 12.

FALL 1974

Spring quarter proved to be as exciting and as interesting as always for the Beta Kappas of Western Illinois University. We participated in such events as intramural s~ftball, Alpha Tau Omega Raft Race, and Greek Olympics. We were also very much a part of the activities held during Greek Week. For one event, Sigma Sing, under the direction of Marsha Virene, we sang and danced to the selections from the musical, "Sweet Charity," which included "If My Friends Could See Me Now," and "Hey Big Spender." Other activities during this week included a book drive to benefit the Salvation Army and the annual Macomb Clean-Up. We also held our third annual Alpha Sig Week. This event was originated to promote closer sisterhood and has proved to be a success. Activities during this week included water balloon fights, a scavenger hunt, cookout, and our quarterly philanthropic project. The spring quarter brought many memories and honors for the Beta Kappas. Helen Hollingsworth was elected president of Western Illinois University's Panhellenic Association. LuAnne Vandenboom received the 19731974 Ideal Pledge Award for our chapter. The Elizabeth Bird Small Award nomination was given to Jo Havelik and the Frost Fidelity Award nomination to Sally Goranson. Beta Kappa would also like to congratulate the many members who were accepted into the women's honorary. Beta Kappa ended the quarter with a "barn" partya slight variation from the usual formal party! We barbecued steaks and danced to the music of a live band. We found this type of a party to be a huge success. It was also announced at this time that our 1974-1975 Alpha Sig Sweetheart was Ron Sorenson, Delta Sigma Phi. Members of Beta Kappa had a relaxing but fun-filled summer and are once again actively involved in both sorority and campus functions.-PAULA SMITH

Beta Rho Northern Illinois University DeKalb, Illinois Beta Rho is proud and enthusiastic after a prosperous and rewarding semester last spring. The seemingly short but fun-filled semester concluded with several big events. For our pledge class, our annual pledge banquet honored each individual girl as well as naming Fran Marke as best pledge. Tum-about day was our last ac-

Our social act1v1t1es were many, but we were busy with money-making and philanthropic projects as well. This year, every girl made door decorations for the different holidays of the year. The decorations were then put up at the D eKalb County ursing Home at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. Earlier in the year donations were collected for the Luke Dyson telethon which was held to raise funds for a young boy severely burned at Christmas time. Several of our members have been involved in such activities as the IU women's swim team, flashing for the NIU gymnastics team, and voluntary community proj ects such as The Learning Exchange and Crisis Line.

They oudid themselves by preparing the members a wake-up breakfast of pancakes and orange juice, and then later that evening presenting entertainment to the theme of " J ungle Boogie." It was a lot of fun and laughter, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themse lves. One of the biggest events sponsored by the university was Aprilfes t. It included a variety of activities ranging from competitive sports events to outdoor concerts at the NIU lagoon. The weather cooperated beautifully and the Beta Rhos psyched themselves up not only for the softball tournament, but for the pajama races as well. With the guidance of their Phi Sigma Epsilon coaches, our pledges ran daily work-outs every morning at 7 : 00 A.M. and every afternoon a t 4: 00 P .M. The highlight of the week was a Frank Zappa concert, followed by a fireworks presentation at the stadium. Aprilfest was a great success and it is sure to go over even bigger this coming year. Parents D ay, as usual, was a special day for everyone, e peciall y those gi rls showing th eir parents Alpha Sigma Alpha for the fir t time. The day included a skit and songs by our pledges, and th en dinner and more singing at Kendall's R anch in Sycamore, Illi nois. Gale Gauthier and Beth Fay lead the singing of one of ou r favorite house song , "Friends" by Elton J ohn. One event everyone anxi ously awaited was our spring formal. This year it was held at Pheasant Run in St. Charles, Ill inois. We honored ou r houseparents, Al and Pam Olsen, and presented a silver mug to D elta Upsilon T om McGeean as our Alpha Sig sweetheart for 1974. The evening was extremely enj oyable, despite the mixed emotions on the arrival of 2 streakers in the evening. With the close of the year coming nearer, our annual senior far well took place at H oliday Inn. Graduating seniors were honored and pre ented with silver ASA neck lace with their names engra ed on them. The dinner ended with humorous wills and then a tearful friendship circle.

The election of new officers and the nomination of Anne Leimetter for Ideal Pledge ended our academic year. Our graduating president, Sue Weidow was nominated for the Frost Fidelity Award while our president for the coming year, Julie Marshall was chosen for the Elizabeth Bird Small Award. Both Julie and Debbie Saunders were nominated to attend the National Convention held in Pittsburgh over the summer. Our summer reunion was held at R osie Marino's summer home and was a good chance for everyone to get together again before classes started. D espite a relaxing and fun-filled summer, the Beta Rhos are even more spirited and ready to go for a successful and rewarding school year. -DIANE CooK

Miss Barbara Sporer was named Ideal Pledge at the event. The recipients of other chapter awards were Miss Jane Davis, Miss Alice Walling and Miss Pam Steward. The members of Beta Upsilon Chapter not only concentrated their efforts on the expansion of their chapter, but also became involved in many of the school's planned events. Among the fall activities were campus carnival in which the Beta Upsilons had a roulette wheel featuring cartoon characters, and Homecoming with Miss Jane Davis as the queen candidate for A"2.A. The Collegiate Chapter were the guests of the T erre Haute Alumnae for a Founders' D ay Dinner at Adamizer smorgasbord. Before the Christmas vacation the fall pledges took their walkout to Carbondale, Illinois, and spent an exciting weekend on the Southern Illinois University campus. The collegiate chapter sponsored a Christmas tea in the sorority suite with the Terre Haute Alumnae as their guests. The Children of Glenn Home Orphanage were visited twice by the Alpha Sigma Alphas, fulfilling the philanthropic requirements of both of the pledge classes.

Our sorority awards went to some outstanding ASAs. The Frost Fidelity Award went to Sharon Morgan. The Elizabeth Bird Small Award went to Julie Durmon. Betty Sue Courson received the Ideal Pledge Award. Our newly elected beau is Joe Davis. This honor surprised him and made him very happy. We were glad to have given it to someone who had helped us so much this past year. Monica Sullivan received Phi Lambda Chi Sweetheart at the formal in Greenville, Mississippi. We were well represented on the cheerleading squad by Karen Burton, Diane Courson, Beth Smith, and Patty Makovec. Campus favorites were Monica Sullivan, Kathy Warner, Karen Burton, and J ana Durmon. We were really proud that their favorable personalities stood out in the minds of people on campus. The sorority sponsored a candidate in the Ugliest Man on Campus Contest. This was an entertaining and exciting event. We also loved watching our members take part in the Miss UAM Contest. We were thrilled when Karen Burton was chosen runner-up. Everyone delighted in a fish fry at Star City. We ate heartily and had a wonderful time. A barbecue was held in ElDorado. It was a blast, too. The summer workshops were well attended. Many plans were made for the school year. The best part of the workshop was getting to see everyone again.-LINDA McCLAIN

The second semester was equally as busy as we were paired twice with the men of Sigma Pi fraternity. Our first encounter with the Sigma Pis was for campus revue with the skit " The Wizards Duel." Miss Pam Steward was chairman and Miss Jane Davis was cochairman. We were again paired with the men of Sigma Pi when we captured the 3rd place trophy for paired competition in Songfest. We sang "My Cup Runneth O ver." The tandem race was the next event. The A"2.A's were paired with the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the race and received the fourth place trophy. This was a very good showing, as there were 17 teams in competition. The girls are spending time in the summer planning for Campus Carnival among other things. We are anxious to increase our enrollment in the fall, and hope that next year will be as fulfilling for us as the year that just ended.-MARY Jo HoFF

Gamma Eta Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania Spring term passed quickly for the Gamma Etas as we were kept busy with a calendar full of events. Soon after l'eturning from spring vacation, we held our annual Spring Fling in honor of our seniors. It was held at Kappa Sigma fraternity along the theme

of Johnathan Livingston Seagull; we all had a lovely evening. Also with Kappa Sigma, we collected money for a community-wide cancer fund-raising drive. We contributed to the annual Health Fair held at Penn State by helping with the decorations and publicity.

Other activities included our Mother Patroness Ceremony held on Mother's Day, and the annual senior skit and will. We also co-sponsored a spring tea with Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The tea is an annual event for them and they asked us to sponsor it with them this year. It was in honor of distinguished faculty, administration, and coaches of Penn State. The tea was a pleasant affair and gave us a chance to become better acquainted with some of the people involved with our university. Spring week, an annual carnival event at Penn State, was centered on the theme of movies this year. Working with Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, we made a poster, designed a billboard, and painted a window, all centered on our theme of "The T en Co=andments." Our skit, a political satire based on the movie, was presented at the carnival. We ended spring term in the best way possible by winning first place overall for Spring Week, taking four out of six first places. With fall term upon us, rush has been our focus for the first couple of weeks. Once again football games bring excitement to the term.

On the last day of March, we held our annual Easter Egg Hunt for underprivileged children of the Clarion area. Thanks to philanthropic chairman, Shelia Stirling, all of our little guests had an exciting afternoon. Just after Easter we had our pledge picnic at Cook's Forest. Jill Packard and Celeste Chilia were chosen as the Ideal Pledge and the Ideal Member. It was a beautiful, sunny day and everyone had a great time, although quite a few of the members returned with sunburns that afternoon. On April 21 , we held a Parents' Day Tea in our lounge and the following day, initiation took place. All were delighted 'with the pledge project-a big wooden membership pin with a guard. This year's formal was held on April 27 at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Dubois. Greek Weekend soon followed the formal and it was an exciting time for the Gamma Omicrons. Under the superb direction of Sally Bartoli, we did a fine job in Greek Sing. In Greek Olympics, we took third place and we were proud of our second place trophy for Greek Bowl. Dawn Reitz and Connie Frontz, paired with two members of the Theta Chi fraternity, did a fine job in Greek Bowl. Our chapter also received a second place scholarship award that weekend as well. Announcement was made at one of the meetings that the Frost Fidelity Award went to Deb Zeek, while Sally Bartoli was awarded the E lizabeth Bird Small Award.

FALL 1974

After a restful summer vacation the Gamma Omegas returned with energy and enthusiasm to put into formal rush. We started off by participating in Panhell's presentation of "It's Greek To Me," a program explaining Greek life. Then began the endless hours of rushing, decorating, and preparing for the three formal parties. These three parties were centered around a voyage. The first was a trip on the U.S.S. A.S.A. The rushees were shown slides which covered all aspects of Alpha Sig life. We tried to show them that we were a group of individuals al l striving towards the same basic aims. The rest of our party centered around our departure and refreshments were served as they would have been on a real cruise. For our next party we docked the U.S.S. A.S.A. in the port of Hawaii. Hawaiian music filled our house and our members, dressed as Hawaiians, completed the atmosphere to give them the illusion of actually being in Hawaii. The rushees and our members participated in a Pearl Ceremony centering on a wish for Alpha Sig. Then after working together for long hours we finally transformed our house into a beautiful garden of tiny fountains, pools of cool water and beds of flowers . '!_'he climax of the evening came with the members standmg with the rushees in a friendship circle tying a red ribbon around each girl's. finger while singing the Red Ribbon song in hopes that each of these girls would remember that we had a place for them in our sisterhood. All our hopes were fulfilled when in a few days we were celebrating our fabulous new pledge class. Next came the excitement of Derby Days sponsored by the Sigma Chi. Showing that we were a grou~ of girls bursting with spirit, we successfully competed m all the activities of Derby Days. Instead of wasting our time and energy in a Homecorning float we put all our efforts into collecting for the March of Dimes and raised a sizeable amount for this cause. Our Homecoming candidate was Laurie Spiecer from Ottawa, Illinois, and ~ur _Greeter candidate was Rae Frederici from Chicago, Ilhnms. Gamma Omega had a big Founders' Day Celebration uniting our sisterhood even more. Al~ng with t?e ot~er activities such as money-making projects, parties w1th fraternities keggers, and all kinds of activities the Gamma o'megas have had a very full exciting fall for the year 1974.-JACKIE SCHRAEDER AND NA ' CY KLEIN

Delta Epsilon Mansfield State College Mansfield , Pennsylvania The Delta Epsilons began the spring semester with two fun rush parties entitled "Leader of the Pack" and_ "The Wizard of Alpha." Special thanks to our rush chrurman, Paula Mikolajczyk, for her great work.

The pledges surprised us very early one morning to play games with them. After a little grumbling and growling we finally bowed to their wishes and played the games. It turned out to be a fantastic day. The pledges were then honored at a dinner held at the Flaming Pit in Elmira, ew York. Kathy Grey was presented the Ideal Pledge Award. Greek Weekend was soon upon us. The slave sale, ugly Greek conte t, and Greek games were a great s~c足 cess. Congratulations to Diana Ciclamino for bemg chosen Outstanding Woman Greek of the Year. Anxiety mounted as our annual Spring Dinner-Dance approached. It was held at the Holiday Inn, Painted Post, New York. Thanks go out to Kandy Lane and Mickey Davignon, who served as co-chairmen, for such a great job. Our annual Phoenix Man Award went to Chuck Yeager, of Lambda Chi Alpha, for his outstanding friendship and help to the sorority. Congratulations to Vicki Calderazzo for being crowned Sigma Tau Gamma's sweetheart. After a short but fun summer the Delta Epsilons are now planning fall rush, Homecoming, Parents' Weekend, and many other activities. -STEPHAN IE SILSBEE

D onna DiLalla captures Delta Lambdas only derby in the chase

Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois Fall for the Delta Thetas is mainly going to be a time for us to prove that we can live up to expectations. Winning the Most Distinguished Chapter Award on our campus last fall is really something to live up to, but we are sure we can and even hope to win it again. Some of the fall activities are formal rush, exchanges, and Homecoming. Plans for later include our annual philanthropic project, Parents' Weekend, and early preparation for the all-campus variety show. Formal rush included several special parties. One was a Polynesian Party, complete with lagoon, shells, fishnet, and authentic polynesian food, such as pineapple, coconut, and shrimp. Everyone digging up exotic costumes for the occasion added to the fun. Another unusual party was tl1e treasure hunt, which is a mysterious activity from the time the treasure chest invitations are received until the time the treasure is found. All the planning that goes into the e events helps to bring everyone closer together. The annual visit to Styrest Home, our philanthropic project, will be, as always, a memorable experience for us as well as for the chi ldren there. The exchange of games, refreshments, and friendship makes an unforgettable day. Beside our own activities, Delta Theta plays a big part in Inter-Greek life, trying to strengthen Greek life in general, as well as our own chapter. Participation in Panhellenic and Inter-Greek Councils and their projects brings about a special closeness between all the Greeks on the S.I. . campus.- BETSY HE N LEY

Delta Iota University of Delaware Newark, Delaware Spring semester proved to be one of the busiest ever for Delta Iotas starting out with a terrific spring formal rush . Rush activities included an " p Up and Away"

party, a casino game night, our Sing-along and a wishing well ceremony. As usual we got a great new pledge class and this year Delta Iotas have nearly doubled in number! We engaged in a number of fund -raising activities including our annual first-day -of-spring daffodil sale which was its usual success. Nothing creates spring fever more than seeing everyone you pass on C3JIIPUS carrying daffodils. We also peddled donuts around to the dormitories and frat houses, and sold ice cream cones at one of the campus flicks. As you can gues , food always goes over big to pacify the campus-wide "Munchies" epidemic. Delta Iotas have displayed our athletic prowess in volleyball games with Kappa Alpha and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities. These were topped off by coming back to the house for subs. We also enjoyed a wine and cheese party with Kappa Alpha and a joint open ru h party with Lambda Chi Alpha. Greek games are always a big highlight of the year. The egg toss, keg throw, and tugof-war were lots of fun, but the best part was stuffing nineteen Alpha Sigs into one little Volkswagon. Our spring formal was a fabulous buffet dinner and the show " Zorba the Greek ." To celebrate the end of finals the members once again spent four days at Rehobeth Beach. With twenty-five members in one apartment with one bathroom and no telephone or T.V., that's sisterhood!! Five Delta Iotas attended the ational Convention and aside from having a great time, they brought back many new ideas. In August, we had a weekend rush retreat at the home of our past president, Marilyn Grafton. This was a nice reunion for the members. After a great summer we are ready to go for the fall! - HOLLY J. BAKER

Delta Lambda Virginia Polytechnic Institute Blacksburg, Virginia Spring quarter began with an informal rush for D elta Lambda. The turnout was better than expected. We had refreshments, a display of our installation gifts, and a lot of talking and getting acquainted. It was successful in bringing us prospective pledges for fall quarter. Our next event was Sigma Chi Derby Day. The D elta Lambdas showed their enthusiasm from the beginning as we placed second in ticket sales. Our n ext accomplishment was tying for fourth place in the poster competition. Our entry in the bathing suit contest, a daring 1940 "bikini," ranked second in the preliminary judging. Although we did not place in the athletic games, the Delta Lambdas enjoyed their first year in Derby Day and look enthusiastically ahead to next year's competition. Our spaghetti dinner with Sigma Pi was a huge success. The Delta Lambdas kidnapped their pledges and drove them to Sigma Pi's fraternity house where the members were cooking spaghetti and French bread. We invited fall quarter prospective members who enjoyed the evening just as much as the members. D elta Lambda participated in the Pi Kappa Alpha Muscular D ystrophy Bike Marathon. We also sponsored a professor to ride in the trike race. Each member made a donation toward the cause. One of the most meaningful events, next to our installation, was our first candlelight on May 20, 1974. Ashby Curren announced her engagement and wedding date of August 3, 1974. The year ended with a luncheon for our graduating seniors, Patty Burke and Ashby Curren, and for our two transfers, Rhonda Coor and Suzanne Wingo.-SANDRA

FALL 1974

The Cincinnati Alum nae Chapter h as d one a lot of exciting things since the new year began. We started in January with our guest luncheon. It was held at the Cincinnati Art Museum. The program was entitled, "A History of Playing Cards" and was given by the U.S. Playing Card Co. We learned a lot of interesting information about the playing card. February brought the Panhellenic Theatre Party. Members and their husbands-a total of 20- were present to see the showing of "Where the Lilies Bloom." Elizabeth Lloyd Lohse, B<l>, was in charge of selling the raffie tickets for the two handsome prizes given. D orothy Rich Prop, BM, was the h ostess for our

March busine s meeting. Our guest from the Cincinnati Public Library spoke on Geneology. He gave quite an informative talk on "How to Trace Your Family Tree." We also gave a gift to Brenda Fraley Kolchin, AA, to give to Katie. Katie was born to Brenda and Michael on January 17. Congratulations! Our progressive dinner was in April. We went to four homes that evening. We traveled from Shirley Sledz Wakefield's, AA, to Sylvia Superits Bacon's, B'l', to Ann Petree Niemeyer's AA to Shirley Pallato Bone's, AA. Nancy Coon Anderson, rB, planned the menu and was the meal ever scrumptious. We had lasagna and salad and-well, it was all delicious. Our husbands certainly enjoyed the dinner because you know how they love to eat (as if we don't). Ohio State Day was in April, too. The Newark-Zanesville Alumnae Chapter was our hostess at the Ilonka Provincial House in Columbus. The speaker was Paula Cyrus, PP, the feature editor of the Phoenix. At this point, we want to thank the Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter for a very thoughtful action which spurred on others to do the same. As you know, Cincinnati was hit by a series of tornados in early April. Much damage was incurred. Although none of the Cincinnati Alums was hit, some were as close as two miles from it. The Pittsburgh Alums sent us a check to help disaster victims. We in tum sent their check along with ours to the Hamilton County Chapter of Red Cross. Eleanor Loyd Davis, /::;./::;. , then our chapter president, brought this up at the State Day meeting. As a result, it was decided that all Ohio Alumnae chapters would send a contribution to a tornado disaster area closest to them. A sincere thanks to everyone. May 6 brought the Cincinnati Panhellenic Dinner at Procter Hall on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. The main event was the installation of officers for the corning year. Those who attended were Shirley Wakefield, past president of City Panhellenic, Eleanor Davis, our retiring president, Dolores Brown Vinson BN, our newly elected president, Mary Goeke Bachsman, AA , NCP delegate and retiring City Panhellentic delegate, Elizabeth Lohse, delegate, and Brenda Kolchin, alternate. Our last business meeting was held with Betsy Daugherty Lengyl AA as our hostess. We installed our new officers. Two new members in our area visited us at this meeting. We would like to welcome Barbara Edmunds Boyd, Gatta Eta, and Elaine Gonsior Gnarra, Gamma Lambda. We hope to see them both again in the fall. Our local philanthropic project is upporting the Vocational Career Fund for Young Graduates of the Longview Children's Unit School in Cincinnati. The finances of graduating students are limited. This fund, which we established two years ago, provides money for tuition, clothing, etc. giving some a chance to continue their education. Our donation this year was given to a young man who plans on going into recreational child care. Eleanor Davis had the privilege of meeting the recipient. She said he was very appreciative of our gift. We are looking forward to our annual family picnic and to a fun filled summer.- LuA NA LoNG RooF AA

Serving as assistant hostess was Delta Phi Isabel Sparling Butterfield. The members assembled in the formal living room with its period furnishings chosen by Sara with decorator know-how. Wall-wide windows brought in a view of the luxurious lawn sloping down to the miniature waters of Lake Vhey. Wine was served as a prelude to the luncheon call to which we eagerly responded. The long table in the family room was centerpieced by an arrangement of narcis i freshly cut from outside borders in full springtime bloom . A highlight of the menu was the white frosted cake which Sara had baked and ceremonially served at the table. During the subsequent business meeting, we agreed to send a donation to the Michigan Crippled Children' s Camp, our major philanthropic for many years.

PENINSULA, VIRGINIA The Alpha Sigma alumnae here on the Virginia peninsula are off to a beautiful start with our newlyorganized chapter h ere in the Tidewater area. We have had good attendance at our meetings held at members' houses. The chapter has great plans ahead for our months to come. The members have decided to "adopt" our nearest collegiate chapter and are planning some surprises ahead for them when school starts-boxes of goodies for exam time, get-togethers, parties, and perhaps some awards for the spring.

The chapter got off to a good start by uniting with ou r City Panhellenic here and our president represented ASA at the Panhellenic Banquet recently. The alums have found that an alumnae chapter can be lots of fun as well as giving the opportunity of developing new ASA fri ends. The m embers come from different collegiate chapters, from different areas of the country (Arkansas, Kansas, Wisconsin, Virginia), and they are of different ages and occupati onal groups, but the members are renewing the bonds of sisterhood, love, and fri endship in the a lumnae meetings. - JANIC E BIRDWELL

THE PHOENIX

marie Zinkland Rotsart-Omega Omega. Zelda, Pearl, and Rosemarie met while attending San Diego State and have been close sorority sisters since their college days. We enjoyed a potluck luncheon of assorted salads, casseroles, and desserts. We can always anticipate exotic and varied dishes. After lunch, we elected our slate of officers for 1974-1976. On Saturday, May 18th, Serena Engelhart LannueZeta Zeta, and Anne Will-Rho Chi attended a buffet dinner and mini auction. This function was sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary for Retarded Citizens of Angel's Unware Center. Proceeds from the dinner and auction went towards an emergency scholarship fund for needy children and young adults at the Center. Since the San Diego Alumnae Chapter's philanthropic project is the Angel's Unware Center, we felt Alpha Sigma Alpha should be represented. The most interesting part of the evening was a tour of the Villa Montezuma. This Victorian home was built in 1887 during "the Great Boom" in San Diego and is considered one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture on the West Coast. The installation of officers and a potluck luncheon will be held at the home of 路 Bernita Offerman Sip anOmega Omega on Saturday, June 8th.-ANNE RuMN EY WILL

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA The South Bend Alums rounded out the year with two special events. In April we were honored to have Virginia Hartman give us an interesting and informative slide presentation on Camp Millhouse. Camp Millhouse is a special summer camp for handicapped children in our area. Members had a special interest in this because we helped Marilon Diggins, our "littlest" sister, to attend this camp. In May a high time was had by all at a luncheon with the Elkhart Alumnae Chapter. This took place at the Icehouse in the One-Hundred Center Complex in South Bend, Indiana. To help work off all those calories the members then enjoyed shopping in all of the little specialty shops in the center. The chapter was sorry to lose three of its members during the year. Chris Patz Weideman, XX, moved to Indianapolis, Indiana; Marie Scanlon Brown, Btl, moved to Northern Minnesota ; Judy Kaiser Starcevich, BK, moved to Bartlescille, Oklahoma. Summer brought busy times for everyone, but we still hope to get together for a picnic in August. This will include husbands and children, so it should prove to be fun for alL-SANDRA SHADE RowE XX

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI Many happy events this past spring and summer greeted the alumnae chapter in Springfield, Missouri. Members had fun making alphabet posters for the children at the State Training School for the chapter's annual philanthropic meeting in March. It was discovered that members had more artistic ability than anticipated! New officers were chosen for the coming year during the April meeting. Those elected were Leslie Fleenor Brown, 8~, President; Judy Kretzschmar, ZZ, VicePresident; Sherry Ball, HH, Secretary; Lahna Wilson,

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA On March 28th the alumnae meeting was held at the home of Odessa Hylton. Plans were formulated for State Day on April 20th at Evansville, Indiana. Martha Erwin made a report on the slate of officers for May. The report was acted upon in June. Mary Fran Wiley entertained the alumnae at her home April 26th. A lesson on Candle Making was given. The girls made plain, lacey, and Iced Cup Cake Candles. It was great fun. Refreshments of tiny sandwiches, cheese balls, cookies, and fruit jello were most delicious. Plans were made for a picnic to be held at Ruby East's home in June. Odessa Hylton was co-chairman on the Counseling Committee for Terre Haute City Panhellenic. The four high schools were visited, and the Greek System was explained to the senior girls. A large cardboard girl was used in the demonstration and the Greek ideals were given as the doll was dressed into the perfect sorority girl. Odessa was also one of the panel speakers at the general panhellenic dinner. The topic was "what is the sorority girl?" Mrs. Mary Jo Pennington, Miss Linda Williams, Miss Ruby East, and Miss Helen Pfeiffer also attended the dinner which was held at the Terre Haute Country Club. Mrs. Herman Hoare, president, and Mrs. Glen Andrews will attend the National Convention of Alpha Sigma Alpha.-ODESSA HYLTON

TOLEDO, OHIO The Toledo, Ohio Alums, as always, are very busy with their hobbies and interests. They are not the type to sit back and watch the world go by. Clare Kuney, Llll , who teaches in the foreign language department at Anthony Wayne High School was very proud that one of her students was selected Miss Teenage of Ohio and will compete in the National Contest. At the last meeting, Helen Klag Osman, showed her slides and artifacts from her latest trip to the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand. She had a wonderful experience and the alums were fortunate that she could share it with them. Helen Bennett Pauly, AA, has many talents- knitting being one of them. She has put it to good use making caps, mittens, sweaters, and slippers for her four lucky grandchildren.

Helen Robinson Cook, AA, has added quiling to her list of intere ts. She explained what it was and alums hope she will bring samples to the next meeting. Mary Helen Stoltenberg Masters', AA , husband is the principal of the school that introduced the Lady Bug as the State Insect to the Ohio State Legislature. They lobbied in Columbus, Ohio, and received television coverage. Karen Kelley's, IM, name will be changed by the time you receive this magazine. She and her fiance are wor~ ing on their house that they will be living in after the1r marriage April 20th. Grace Fultz Haworth, '¥'¥ , has improved greatly since her accident. She and her husband have installed a chair elevator in their house. Grace says jokingly that "the first ride is free." Dorothy Smelker Stockton, AA, has been in the outh visiting her two sons and their families. Mary Jane Holland Unger, I M, and her husband will be moving into their new home upon its completion in a few weeks.- MARY JANE HoLLA o UNGER

Ellen Funk Akers, BA at Tulsa Tri-State Luncheon seated with some of her former sisters from Conway, Arkansas.

TRI-CITY, FLORIDA On Saturday, June l, an International Luncheon served at the home of Wanda Calhoun, BN, climaxed the year for the Tri-City Alumnae of Florida. Dishes from the Far East were prepared by several members. Japanese Plum Wine started the splendor. This was followed by Sukiyaki, Kim Chi, Gado, Chicken Walnut and rice- all to be eaten with chopsticks. Saki Wine flavored all of this. During the business meeting, Suzanne Green Shettle, A B, the president, announced that "Billie" Barrett Cousins, KK, had been elected president of the Panhellenic Association of Upper Pinellas County. AI o, Kathy Roy, 6-A , was receiving her master's degree from the university of South Florida. Emma Coleman Frost, magazine chairman, announced that a total of $173.76 had been collected from magazine sales. A candlelight ritual followed the meeting. New officers were installed: Suzanne Green Shettle, A B, President ; Sally Weyler Constantinou, XX, Vice-President; Cynthia Eckert Kirkpatrick, 1<1>, Secretary; Wanda Calhoun, BN, Treasurer. The afternoon was highlighted by a fi lm of a trip to the Far East presented by our hostess. She had been sent by the United Board of Christian Higher Education in Asia as a Library Consultant to these countries. Eighteen sorority sisters had a delightful afternoon.-D OROTHY KRETSCHMER CHASE KK

TULSA. OKLAHOMA The Tulsa Alumns can truly say this has been an exceptional year for them. Jean G ill , the president, set her motto "Support your President." The alumns did just that-Shouldn't they all? This has really been a very exceptional year for them in that they had the honor and pleasure of having as their guests two National Officers: MaryAnn Linton, ational President and Esther Gatseos, Vice-President of Development. Esther was invited to the campus of Tulsa University to meet with the local Panhellenic. Alpha Sigma Alpha

Esther Gatseos (center) on the Tulsa University campus for a conference with local panhellenic officers. does not have a chapter on the campus. The Panhellenic adored Esther. She was constantly with members of Panhe llenic during the two days of her stay. One could scarcely get near her at the reception. She was constantly surrounded by Tri-D eltas, P i Beta Phis, Chi Omegas, Kappa Kappa Gammas, and others asking questions and getting her ideas. The sororities' sponsors declared they were indeed being helped. Later that evening, Esther managed to lip away to Rhetta Nesbitt Robinson's, Bl , to be with the Tulsa Alumns. Although she was tired, she seemed to enjoy every minute as much as the alums did. Beginning with the January meeting with Lora Patterson Sipes, I I, the Tulsa Alumns began many weeks of preparations for their first Tri-State Province Day. The next step for the alumns was putting the plans into action as they met with Elois Frye Woods, BG. In fact the working groups were so busy, they hardly took time for the delicious dessert Elois had prepared. Those alumns who were teachers believe in homework which they did in their "spare" time.

THE PHOENIX

The response to the invitations as great and as enthu iastic as we were. Even the threatening snow storms did not keep people away and on April 16, 1974, a beautiful sunny day, 94 girls arrived at the Harvard Club, not only to enjoy meeting friends over a cup of coffee and rolls, but to m eet gracious National President, MaryAnn Linton. The trip was rewarding to all who came, and Mrs. Linton's talk was very persona l and inspiring. Many of the college groups remained to talk with MaryAnn and Rhetta R obinson, Province Director for this area. The alumns are looking forward to next year. Our April meeting was with Paula Halfast, Bl, in the Barcelona Club R oom . The alumn were still enthu ed about th e success of the firs t Tri-State Province Day and made n omin a ti on for offi cers for next year. Caroline Morris Bigelow, Btl, gave Mary Kay fa cials and offered us a percentage of profit for a money-making project. The last week of May, Rhetta Robinson came home from school to find Alpha Sigs arriving for a salad supper. Plans were made for those attending National Convention and new officer installation. Tulsa Alumns didn ' t

Beta Gammas Terri Crowe and Nerea Couper entertain Esther Gatseos.

Tulsa alums and Beta Gamma get together for Esther Gatseos. L to R: Jennie Vanson Fish, II, Helen Hopper Malon e, Esther, and Rhetta Nesbitt Robinson, Bl. "impeach" their president. She chose not to run for a third term, so Paula Halfast will be the new Tulsa Alumnae President. Paula and Barbe McPherson, Bl, will be representing the Tulsa Alumns as delegates to the National Convention. Rhetta Robinson goes officially and H elen Hooper Malone, Bl, and Lora Sipes, II, as non-official representatives. At all the Tulsa Alumnae meetings, members were graded and the one making the most points would win a prize. Paula won first prize, a lovely nighty to take to Convention. Jean Gill won second place. I thought I would be runner-up- but who wants to sleep on points. New officers for the Tulsa Alumnae Chapter are Paula Halfast, Bl , President; Bobby Burwell, Bl, and Barbara McPherson, Bl, Vice-Presidents; Carol Carter, Bl, Secretary; Mary Lee Wilson; HH, Treasurer ; Sue LaBorde, Christy Bennett, Lora P. Sipes, Panhellenic Representatives ; Lora P . Sipes, Alumnae Editor.-LORA PATTERSON SIPES

Tri-City Alumna (continued from page 25)

Her efforts to educate the public about the problems of the hard of hearing are being realized through a full page newspaper feature and her many invitations to speak before civic groups. Even wit h this busy schedule Sally finds time to Chair the Florida Cottey College Scholarship Committee and remain active in P.E.O. She is also active in the P.T.A. where her two children, Mickey age ll and Athena age 8, attend. Her husband Mike is head of the Vocational Department at Oak Grove Junior High in Clearwater.

Campus Sights and Sounds FRATERNITY AND SORORITY ACCEPTANCE is apparently on the rise. Confirming what individual campuses and individual organizations had already noted, a national Campus Opinion survey finds increasing approval of the system while the number avowing disapproval has slipped to two in five. ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT is being made available on many campuses under a federally funded program known as University Year for ACTION. Students work in a variety of private and government agencies and devote full time to community problems for an entire academic year, receiving up to 45 hours of academic credit in the process. Prepared by the Operation Brass Tacks Committee of the National Panhellenic Editors Conference
