One Alpha's Opinion A song to share

Editor's note: Several collegians have written recently to share their sorority experiences through prose, verse, song and even a drawing (see cover). You can share your thoughts too , just write the editor. * * *

One of our chapter's favorite songs goes like this: Whoa, oh, oh, oh, Be in ASA Whoa, oh, oh, Be in ASA If you have been sad and all alone and you feel you're out there on your own Oh, what should I do I have no friends to talk to I need someone to help me make it through

Proud to be an M:A I recently was given the privilege to represent Beta Iota at the Northeast Panhellenic/IFC Conference in New Brunswick, N.J .

It was four days of fun, excitement, learning and growing. The theme of the conference was "Excellence-A Shared Commitment." Seminars were presented and included such topics as alcohol policies, hazing, rituals, effective meeting strategies, creativity and motivation.

The highlight of the conference, however, was not only the seminars but the privilege of meeting four AEAs from other chapters and two wonderful alumnae , Betty Wallick and Sidney Allen. It was an honor to meet these women and discuss Alpha Sigma Alpha. The time I spent talking with Sidney inspired me more than she will ever know. Her enthusiasm and devotion made me realize just how important and fulfilling sisterhood can be beyond those four short years in school.

Motivation is the key to success in anything you do. It is pride-in yourself, in your ability and in your accomplishments. I feel fortunate to be part of the Greek system and am so very proud to be a member of AEA. Jenni Bowker Beta Iota

A Tribute to Seniors Every semester a part of our chapter dies. Although we always are regenerated there is always a part that leaves.

This is, as we all know, unavoidable, but memories are always evident. We know that those who are leaving also will hold memories.

We would like to pay tribute to our seniors by sharing a note of care: 2

Then someone said won't you go through rush, see how Greek life helps us out so much That's when I found them when I saw the love between them I want to be a part of ASA Whoa, oh, oh, oh, Be in ASA Whoa, oh, oh, Be in ASA

Your life is just beginning, you will start all over again.

Although you have been through so much, it's time this one must end.

But remember, dear sister, the life behind you, you led.

Because whether you know it or not, it will effect what you doit's a part you cannot shed.

There is a bond you have formed with each of us here.

And through that bond you can conquer all your fears.

You will not be forgotten, in fact you might say You will be in our hearts each and every day.

Alpha Sigma Alpha has been blessed to be touched with who you are Which has made us better by far.

Good luck with the future, please do not forget the past For the memories you have will help make your happiness last.

The time has come for us to part but only in distance and not in our hearts.

Kim Rosenthal Beta Kappa

What's that voice I'm hearing in my heart does it know I want to be a part That's why I need them and why they need me with them I'm going to be a part of ASA ASA has made my life fun I've found lots of friends that I can count on Friends that make the rough times more calm ASA's been the one And their rainbow I've wished on We know that you all have things to share and that you want someone near who cares We want to show you that ASA will hold you And make life rich with all the love it has Whoa, oh, oh, oh, Be in ASA Whoa, oh, oh, Be in ASA Whoa, oh, oh, Be in ASA Gamma Pi THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

RUSH: Alums can help too!

by Nancy I. Z. Reese National Editor Alpha Sigma Alpha alumnae provide invaluable assistance to collegiate chapters during rush. They bake cookies, make name tags and serve innumerable glasses of punch. Individuals and alumnae chapters make financial donations to support chapters during this very important stage : membership recruitment- But as alumnae, we often overlook one of the easiest ways to assist our chapters: the recommendation.

No longer called a 'recommendation' because it

does not obligate the chapter or rushee in any way, the information serves as a 'introduction' to a woman the chapter may not, under other circumstances, have come in contact with.

With an 'introduction,' chapter members can urge a woman to go through formal rush. Once rush is underway, the 'introduction' can help the chapter get to know the rushee and assist in voting decisions.

And with formal rush over, the 'introduction' can widen the field of women available to a chapter for open bidding and open rush.

As alumnae, we share the same responsibility as collegians to keep our sorority vital and growing. So provide an 'introduction' today! * * *

GAMMA RHO: Letter day

PHI PHI: Red-n-white party

RUSH: Pickatheme

by Debbie Craig National rush chairman Rush-that magical word that sends shivers up your spine. The shivers can be from excitement or fear. Let's hope your chapter will enjoy the excitement, but how can it overcome the fear? By being prepared with fun and s imple themes. When there is a good theme, the Alpha Sigma Alpha personality shines through.

Two such theme parties were used successfully

last faiL They were successful because both members and rushees had fun. Beta Lambda and Epsilon Gamma chapters presented "Christmas in September," and Gamma Mu used "Spring Break."

While the theme is a big part of rush, it alone doesn't make the party a success. The members of Alpha Sigma Alpha are what makes a great party.

Just be yourselves, have fun , enjoy your sisters and the rushees , and most of all , SMILE. Smiling opens up the door fo r a successful rush period.

Now, just turn the page to pick your theme. -{;{

Chapter Diversity is chapter appeal

Lisa Stanley keeps traveling

by Suzanne Kilgannon

A new face appeared on the AEA travel circuit this winter. Lisa Stanley, a December 1985 graduate of Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, Kan., began traveling as a chapter consultant in January. She left behind her parents, Marvin and Reta, in Elsmore, Kan., brother Kenneth, 24, and sister Vickie Hanson, 25.

Lisa, 23, brings a highly qualified and well-rounded background to her new position. A marketing major at PSU, she pledged HH in spring 1982 and served as chapter president, treasurer, membership director and homecoming chairman.

Her chapter honored her with the Best Active, President's and Sweetheart awards. In 1984, she was HH's delegate to the National Convention in Kansas City, Mo., and attended MIFCA/MAPCA in St. Louis as AEA's representative.

Along with her demanding sorority offices, Lisa also was active in several campus organizations.

She was elected as senator-at-large for the student senate; served as AEA's representative to the president's council; is a member of the American Marketing Association and served on PSU's homecoming policy committee.

In addition, she was appointed by the business administration department as the marketing representative to the Performing Arts and Lecture Series Committee.

She was secretary for that group's subcommittee on marketing and promotion and was its community relations coordinator. She also managed to squeeze in her job as advertising representative on the student newspaper.

All of these activities did not go unnoticed or unrewarded. Lisa was a member of Order of Omega; Omicron Delta Kappa junior/senior

As I look back on this year, I can only remember how anxious I was to start traveling. I remember how excited I was when I received the phone call from Marti Stratton, vice president of collegians, to offer me the position of chapter consultant. She called me in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., during my spring break, at 7 a.m.! She told me I was to fly out of Ft. Lauderdale to attend MIFCA/MAPCA in St. Louis.

So, peeling body and all, I met my boss-to-be for the first time at the Mid-America Panhellenic Conference. Some impression I must have made. It was an incredible start to an even more incredible year.

After sitting in the pool a lot and waitressing a little, I went to National Headquarters July 30, 1985, to begin training. Those two weeks flew by as Diane James, vice president of finance , Cindy Fundis, past chapter consultant, Rosie Fellin, headquarters executive, Barbara Bain and Carol Fairman of the headquarters staff tried to teach me everything I ever wanted to 路 know about the sorority but didn't dare ask.

I left Springfield August 14 fully armed with information for my journey. After three full months of rush , 15 sets of leadership procedure notebooks and more pizzas than I care to count, one underlying theme strikes me most about our chapters: diversity makes Alpha Sigma Alpha.

I remember that diversity is what made me want to pledge Beta Iota Chapter. Every chapter I have been to this year has bragged about it.

But, could each chapter be as diverse as it claimed to be? Yes! The chapters I visited have a wonderful mix of women from all 10

SUMMER 1986

Suzanne Kilgannon

walks of life. There are farmer's daughters, big city slickers and women from military families.

They all come together to give our chapters a unique appeal.

Alpha Sigma Alpha must appeal to so many women because of the four aims of the sorority. These aims enable women from many backgrounds to work together to strive for common goals. AEA allows us all to be individuals while we learn about each other and respect each other's differences.

When we pledged AEA, we had no idea how much we would get out of the sorority. Our chapters give women a unique opportunity that prepares us for the real world in ways we could never imagine.

There can be no stereotype pinned on our chapters. For that, we can be proud. Every woman is herself, and by being herself, those路 around her grow.

This year has given me that chance to grow. I hope every Alpha Sig can appreciate just how special our sorority is and will work to continually improve themselves and their chapters. -tr * -tr

honor society ; Lambda Sigma sophomore honor society; was listed in both Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and in Fraternities and Sororities; and was named to the dean's honor list. Her interests include travel , spending time with family and friends and shopping.

She credits Diane James, na tional vice president of finance and HH advisor, with encouraging her to apply for the chapter consultant position. "I learned so much from all my experiences in HH , and being a chapter consultant seems a perfect chance for me to share many of these things," she says.

In addition to the adventure of working with the collegiate and alumnae chapters, Lisa enjoys her contact with the national officers.

"It's so inspiring to meet and talk with women who work at the national level, " she says. "They've been very helpful and supportive, real spirit-boosters!"

The experience so far , she says, has been rewarding. "It's a great feeling to visit the chapters, and to know that I may have helped them in some way. "* *

Mathilda Hatfield believes that constant collegiate chapter contact with the National organization leads to a stronger, more unified sorority overalL With that as her goal, the Beta Lambda set out this fall as one of two AEA chapter consultants.

Mathilda brings to .her new role the special ability to listen-intently. " Not many people do ," she says, adding that she learned to listen while at BA, at home and from traveling. As a result, she says, she can look at both sides of a problem , and find it easy to make a decision.

The Conway, Ark., native sprinkled her college career with a mixture of sorority, campus and community activities. She pledged BA at the University of Central Arkansas in spring 1983, and served as pledge class president. The fol lowing fall she was homecoming chairman, and spent that spring at the Student Institute for American Universities , Aix-en-Provence , France.

Upon her return , she was BA chaplain and Panhellenic representative, and served as the UCAIFC-Panhellenic Greek Week chairman. In addition , Mathilda was a Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity rush server for four semesters, a ETr junior maid, White Rose Sweetheart 1985-86, and a finalist for the National Rose of Sigma Tau. Her campus activities included membership in the Phi Sigma Iota foreign language society, Gamma Beta Phi honor society, student orientation staff, senior art show chairman, and entries chairman for the Miss UCA committee. She also managed to squeeze in being an American Red Cross water safety instructor, a vice chairman of the First State Bank student board

of directors and a church lector.

In recognition of her outstanding campus, community and sorority service, Mathilda was named to the dean's list three times, is listed in the fall 1985 edition of Who's Who Among U.S. Colleges and Universities, was given the AEA loyalty award and was BA's Frost Fidelity Award recipient for 1985.

The daughter of two UCA professors , Mathilda received a bachelor of arts degree in fine arts. She hopes to attend graduate school for a master's degree in college student personnel-a path chosen by several former AEA chapter consultants.

Lisa Stanley, who started traveling for the sorority this January, continues in that position for this school year. *

Collegiate Corner Our closeness exudes to other students, who have been known to comment on how close we are. We feel very fortunate to have the "small town" image that so many people picture, in which everyone knows everyone else.

We laugh together, share good times and cry together when things don't go as planned. Perhaps the poem " When There 's Something Wrong With an Alpha Sig There's Something Wrong With Me" states best the way we feel. Though some people might knock the "small town college ," we are thankful for this image, making Beta Pi "something special. " Lori E. Cooper

Alpha Sig spirit The Delta Iota Chapter puts a special spirit into community service activities. They have become involved in numerous on- and off-campus events .

The members enjoy working with children of all ages around the community. They also enjoy participating in Panhellenic- and universitysponsored activities .

Delta Iota has adopted a patient at the Mary Campbell Center for the physically handicapped , named Michael. The members correspond with him and visit at the center. Michael is very energetic and intelligent and keeps things running at the center.

In other community service areas, chapter members tutor children of all ages through the University Awareness Program and Read Aloud Delaware. Also planned is a spring picnic with the Beechwood School for children with learning disabilities.

Activities of the members of Delta Iota have "sprung" into action with the appearance of spring . Many members participated, while others 16

Concord College

Something special Concord College is located in the small town of Athens, WV, and is the home of the Beta Pi Chapter.

Concord College provides an atmosphere that allows its students and faculty members to develop a special understanding and closeness that is not likely to develop at a larger university. That is also true of the Beta Pi Chapter, for not only do we have a good relationship with members of the faculty and administration , we have a special closeness among members.

The Beta Sigmas were involved with several different philanthropic activities this year. In light of our chapter 's outstanding benevolent and societal contributions, the Ecumenical Center at Southwest presented an award to our chapter in January.

We contributed to a number of different programs designed to aid exceptional people. A donation was given by our chapter to the Springfield , MO, Children 's Home . The Beta Sigmas also donated an additional amount to the Shriner's Circus for the mentally and physically handicapped. We also contributed to the Robin Brandley Memorial Fund, a cause developed to provide comfort and guidance to people with a tendency to commit violent crimes.

The Springfield March of Dimes Chapter sponsored a fund -raising Marathon Days in which our chapter participated in a "Canoe-a-thon. " Because this event prompted much planning and publicity, our chapter was both excited and proud to take part.

Our chapter enjoys the philanthropic aspects of Alpha Sigma Alpha and has found these contributions crucial to our overall success.

A new rush scheme

The Beta Nu Chapter has participated in various philanthropic activities this year. In October, the Alpha Sigs celebrated the 90th birthday of their adopted grandmother, Cosy Meyers. Cosy has been a part of Alpha Sigma Alpha for the past eight years. This event was featured on a local television station as the nightly human interest segment.

In February, the Alpha Sigs delivered valentines to a local hospital's elderly intensive care unit. In addition to these philanthropic activities, Beta Nu participated in a campuswide Heart Fund for the American Red Cross. The Heart Fund was sponsored by Murray State's Panhellenic Council of which Beta Nu's Myra Davidson is president.

Through a new project , Save the Children Fund, the chapter has sponsored a child. Kim Teckenbrock and Katie O'Neil, philanthropic chairmen , helped prepare for Special Olympics , and every member contributed her time . The Alpha Sigs participated in Sigma Chi's annual Derby Day, which benefits the fraternity's national philanthropy.

Beta Nu has been very successful with its philanthropic activities and would like to encourage other chapters to "pass it on. " Amy R. Thompson

Open rush kept the Phi Phi members creatively busy during spring semester. A new type of enthusiastic strategy was incorporated into this year's informal rush.

A series of three different parties were held within the first five weeks of the new school semester. Each member was responsible for bringing a rushee to each party and acting as her personal escort by picking her up , introducing her to other members, aiding her in the answers to any questions she might have and then escorting her home. This system worked well, not only because each member was taking an active role in rush, but also each rushee felt com fortable and encouraged by the escort system to meet more members.

Throughout the week, five members who knew that rushee would make a short visit to her room or leave an inspirational note on her door. What fun rush really can be!

The first party consisted of an open house in the Alpha annex of Roberta Hall. A communication game was played in which each rushee was given a list of particular things someone has done (example: find someone whose favorite soap opera is the same as yours, or someone who ignores her alarm clock), and then the member signed her name next to it.

The rushee with the most signatures received a prize .

The second rush function was a VCR party featuring " St. Elmo 's Fire ," held in the Alpha chapter room . Equipped with pillows, popcorn and chips-n -dip , the rushees were entertained with casual conversation followed by the movie.

The last rush party was truly a "Spring Break Celebration!" Decorations of bright yellow stream ers, signs of Ft. Lauderdale, Daytona and Padre lined the walls of the Alpha annex, next to palm trees, blue sparkling water and sunglasses. Refreshments of cherry drink garnished with orange slices and Beach Boy music added to the atmosphere. Members gathered in a circle and told "Where the Alphas are '86," and followed with a spring break fashion show.

The party concluded with an inspirational slide show.

The girls divided their time among lying out on the beach, making the 30-minute drive to Mexico to bargain shop, attending free concerts given by Starship, the Outfield , Joe King Carrasco and Quarterflash, buzzing around on rented mopeds, and of course dancing the nights away at popular local night spots.

Other members made a trip to Galveston, Texas, also on the Gulf of Mexico , for similar activities. Spring break 1986 will not soon be forgotten by the Delta Upsilon Chapter.

Panhellenic activities Beta Theta Chapter has been actively involved in Panhellenic activities all year. Members have participated in fund-raisers for groups in the community and worked with a fraternity to hold a Halloween party for the mentally retarded children in the Mt. Pleasant area .

The party for the children was a huge success. An Easter egg hunt had all Greeks participating through either public relations work or active participation. The results were spectacular, and the weather added to the positive outcome.

Last semester, one of the chapter's seniors held an office on the Panhellenic board. Next year Karen Fulmer will hold the office of Panhellenic president.

Dickinson State College

Smallness is closeness Dickinson State College in Dickinson, ND , is a small college consisting of about 2,000 students. The campus has only a few buildings, but the closeness and friendships shared among people is very special.

The classes have very few people in them and this allows the instructor a chance to know his/her students on an individual basis . This closeness benefits everyone.

The same is true for Beta Eta Chapter. It is a small chapter, but everyone is very close . Members are together not only for meetings, but throughout the week.

Activities at the college allow everyone to take part. They range from dances to homecoming to Winter Week to Sure Beats Winter Week.

This all makes Dickinson State a great place to be .

Year 'round participation

Special Olympics keeps Alphas busy

Autumn Leaf Festival

The Beta Nu Chapter is unique from other chapters in a major way.

The school terms are based on a trimester system. There are 10-week terms, and everyone attends school for two terms and works on a co-op assignment for two terms.

Nu Nu Chapter also works on the same system. This makes the chapter active the full year. Meetings and activities continue during the summer, when most chapters are on vacation. One advantage is that the chapter never has to stop and reorganize itself after three months. This also gives members who are participating in co-op a chance to become more active, especially if they have just finished or anticipate a heavy load of classes. The chapter also has two elections a year, which gives more members a chance to hold an office.

The Alpha Alpha Chapter's philanthropy is Special Olympics. The members of the chapter help the special participants in these Olympics in the fall and spring games.

Last fall, Miami University's Alpha Sigs helped in the games held at Miami 's Billings pool. The girls acted as timers, chaperones, guides and "huggers," encouraging the athletes with hugs, smiles and happy cheers. The Special Olympians competed in water races of all types and were cheered on by the Alpha Sigs, other helpers, family and friends.

The spring games were held at Miami's recreational complex. These games consisted of special track and field events in which the special athletes raced.

Alpha Alpha philanthropic chairman Beth Weatherbie also devised a new philanthropy last fali-Kiss for Kamp. The girls sold Hershey's kisses on campus to help send a needy child to summer camp.

Each fall, the students on the campus of Clarion University celebrate the Autumn Leaf Festival. It is a week-long celebration that yearafter-year attracts many people to our area. It also provides a unique opportunity for the Greeks on campus to interact with the community and with each other.

One of the main events of the festival is a big parade, held at the end of the week. The sororities and fraternities on campus contribute by building floats, which are displayed and judged during the parade. This competition promotes both cooperation with the community and good Greek relations on campus.

The Greeks run an information booth during the festival. In addition to selling Autumn Leaf souvenirs, free coffee and information about events are provided to visitors.

The Autumn Leaf Festival is a busy time for everyone in the community, but especially for the Greeks on campus who are busy helping out and having fun.

Celebration dance The Beta Eta Chapter had a very successful Super Summer Celebration Dance thanks to Jana Moriconi, public relations chairman; Lori Stauffer, money making chairman; and Kerry Cobb, "car crew" chairman.

Jana put ads in the Collegia, the school paper, and a sign on the Gorilla Board in the center of campus.

Lori put posters up in all the buildings and dorms advertising a "get-acquainted" party.

The "car crew" made signs saying "Party with the Alpha Sigs" and taped them to Kerry's car. They then drove around campus informing people of the party.

The party was a success and raised funds for basement repair costs and State Day. Rumors were that it was the social event of the season A little motivation and public relations can make a party a success. Jana, Lori and Kerry's car crew all made the difference between success and failure.

Dance marathon helps hospital Three years ago , Lisa Parente, a member of the Gamma Rho Chapter, headed a committee of Panhellenic officers whose purpose was to develop the idea of sponsoring a 48-hour dance marathon to benefit the Deborah Heart and Lung Hospital Foundation of Brownsmilles, N.J. The idea became a reality, and since its orig in, the Alpha Sig spirit has brought uniqueness to the chapter by being recognized the "winner" of the marathon by raising the most money every year for this charity.

The dance-a -than usually takes place during the second weekend in February , but preparations for this 48-hour stretch begin in September.

This Panhellenic-sponsore d event constitutes one of the largest events that happens on the campus of East Stroudsburg University .

Besides being involved as dancers, Alpha Sigs are dedicated to organizing committees to obtain necessary supplies , collect donations and publicize the details of the marathon.

Every member wo rks diligentl y to collect contributions from individuals as well as from local bus inesses and industries .

The Gamm ies have also been recognized as the organ ization with the most participants who complete the entire 48 hours of dancing. Several members have dedicated themselves to dancing every yea r for thi s worthy cause and have raised hundreds of dollars individually . Each year, the Gamma Rho Chapter has donated over $1,000 to Deborah .

The Gammies are proud of their dedication to the dance marathon and to the patients of De bo rah .

Diversity gives strength Have you ever seen an Alpha Sig who was not e nthusiastic about herself or her house? Certainly not at Rochester Institute of Technology .

The Gamma Iota Chapter is unique .

The motto , "Our Diversity Gives Us Strength," is an example of the kind of girls that make up the chapter.

THE PHOENI X OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

Each girl brings creative and imaginative ideas to the chapter. Alpha Sigs are always trying to improve and adapt to changes, for girls come and go every year, but not without leaving their mark. Whether it is a bright smile , a poem or a picture on the wall , they leave a good feeling with the rest of the girls.

Our rush program is constantly being improved, yet Gamma Iotas still maintain old favorites such as the slide show and lip sync contest. We feel it is imperative that the pledge program be updated and modified with every incoming pledge class .

Each girl who pledges AEA is different and unique, but by the end of pledging each is unified and still d iverse.

Not only is Gamma Iota unique from other chapters, but eve ry chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha has something new and exciting to offer.

This combination of unique chapters makes Alpha Sigma Alpha a unique sorority .

End of year activities For the members of the Beta Rho Chapter, a fun and exciting year has come to an end. Although spring fever left many of us anxious for summe r vacation to arrive, the Alpha Sigs had a busy schedule of events to complete the school year. Among these activities were Greek Week, Parent's Day and a Senior Farewell d inner.

Greek Week activities began with a tug-of-war competition among the 14 fraternities on campus. Other events scheduled for the week included softball , volleyball and football games, as well as a bike relay race, a pyramid-building contest and an Almost-Anything-Goes competition.

Another fun-filled day for the Alpha S igs was our chapter's annual Parent's Day barbeque. Each member's entire family was encouraged to attend and participate in the excitement .

The final affair of the semester was the Senior Farewell dinner. A slide show was shown to recapture the year's memories and honor the graduating seniors, who will be missed by all.

Gre e k Week, Parent's Day and Sen io r Farewell proved to be successful , thus marking the end of a fun and exciting year for the Beta Rho Cha pter.

Lisa Hoel, philanthropic chairman for the Alpha Chapter, coordinated a big sister/littl e sister project with AEA members and the underprivileged children of Prince Edwa rd County.

The volunteers paired off into groups of two and were assigned a little sister. The new big sisters received an index card with information about the child such a s he r name , age and telephone number and they , in turn , received information about their big sis.

The members planned several activities with the children both indi vidually and as a group. Some of the activities included going fo r ice cream , visiting the park , bowling a nd watching the movie "Gremlins" in the chapter room . An Easter egg hunt was held for the children along with Kappa Alpha fraternity at Hampden Sydney College.

The rewards for the big siste rs were as endless as they were for the little ones. The question was , "Who enjoys it more , the big kids or little kids?"

The Chi Chi Chapter had a very successful spring rush .

Rush consisted of a "get-acquainted " pa rty in which each member had a chance to meet and talk with each rus hee . Pizza and pop were served .

Pl ed ge night followed in which members introduced themselves to the new pledges and vice versa. Each of the pledges were given Alpha Sig ma Alpha T-shirts, a pencil , an Alpha Sigma Alpha button , a rainbow pin and a pad of Alpha Sigma Alpha paper.

Greek olympics Greek Week was exciting and eventful for the Alpha Betas.

To start the action , all Greek organizations participated in a weeklong bike-a-thon . The Alpha Betas signed up for hourly shifts, 24 hours daily. There were two sorority and fraternity members riding the tandem bicycle at all times. Pledges were received for number of miles ridden and donations also were collected . The money raised was given to the Greeks' philanthropic project, the Missouri Teen Institute.

An all-Greek torchwalk was held with sororities and fraternities walking together all over campus. Saturday morning brought the Greek olympics. The Alpha Betas won overall first place. First place was taken in the tug-of-war event and the marshmallow-eating contest. Two third-place honors were taken in the human sundae-making contest and the keg throw .

Another afternoon was spent playing all-star sorority volleyball games and attending a mixer. Everyone participated in football and volleyball games , horseshoe pitching and enjoyed the hog roast later that afternoon .

The final event was the awards banquet and coronation. The Alpha Betas won the trophy for first place overall in the olympics, and won the sorority advisor award for outstanding advisor Liz Mossop. The 1986 Miss Congeniality award went to Beth Cunningham.

After the ritual, new active members returned to Panhellenic Hall to sing and present gifts to the entire chapter. During this activity, tears were shed, hugs were shared and gifts were exchanged between pledge mothers and daughters. Most important, the greatest of all the gifts exchanged was the gift of sisterhood and friendship throughout the chapter.

that occurred over the four days included a pizza eating contest, chariot race, running relay, swimming relay, car push, tricycle race and pyramid building. In several of these events, sororities and fraternities were paired together.

Diversity makes us unified Pi Pi Chapter members have many different majors, hobbies, lifestyles, interests, strengths and back grounds. In this respect, we are quite diversified , but we are unified in a very close sisterhood which is our common objective.

Majors vary from technical to artistic, creative to procedural , scientific to educational. We enjoy a wide variety of extracurricular activities ranging from dancing in clubs, to singing in a choir, to enlisting in the reserves. Some come from a large , metropolitan city, others from small farming towns, and others from foreign countries. Some like to take the role of planners of activities while others find themselves more effective as the participants of these activities.

All of these differences aid in making us unified, for we respect each other's differences and by do ing so , we broaden our horizons of knowledge and understanding . The unifying aspect within all this d iversity is the sense of working together for a common objective with common ideals.

One of our members , Shawn Brown, has often commented, "Each of us is a different colo r of the rain· bow and is very nice and beautiful on her own , but when we get together, we form a full rainbow. A rainbow is one of nature's miracles , and we are working together to find our 'pot of gold.' " Christine R. Clave/in

A memorable Christmas One of the features of the Gamma Mu Chapter that makes it unique is our Christmas season. After our return from Thanksg iving break , everyone puts away the turkey decorations and starts putting up decorations fo r Christmas.

Walking down a hallway in Herrick Hall you might see lights, Santa 's face in a window, Christmas trees, tinsel or sometimes even green and red streamers. It makes the season seem so real and beautiful to hear Christmas carols playing in the background .

Soon after, secret Santas begin to appear. Each member of the sorority draws a name out of a jar and leaves little gifts of candy or poems outside the door. The little gifts get everyone into the Christmas spirit.

A Christmas party is held at a member's house in town where lunch is served . After lunch, we gathe r around a beautifully decorated tree to open the gifts. Each pledge receives a handmade Raggedy Ann doll from her "mom .'' After all the gifts are opened , the secret Santas then reveal themselves.

After the Christmas party , we sing songs, then go outside to cheer.

The Gamma Mus make the Christmas season special.

One of the most successful events of the school year was AEA Tri· State Day. Seven Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters from Virginia, West Virginia and North Ca rolina traveled to VCU for t he weekend activity . Guest speakers included Dr. Rosemary Goss, national president; Betty Wallick, NPC alternate delegate; and Dr. Geraldine Cox, former national vice president. Several alumnae also joined the activities.

Being unique is great If asked to describe the Delta Rho Chapter in one word , an outsider would p robably say "unique."

What makes us unique from all the other Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters? One answer to this is our color scheme. When the Delta Rho Chapter was founded , another sorority was using crimson and white as its colors. As a result, Delta Rho's founders decided to use the secondary colors, pa lm green and gold. Recently we have begun using crimson and white along wit!) palm green and gold on our letter shirts.

Another unique aspect of Delta Rho is reflected in its enthusiasm.

Each m ember is proud of Alpha Sigm a Alpha and will gladly tell anyone th is .

Though each chapter has its own personality, someone summed it up best when she said , "You always look your best when you're wearing your Alpha Sigma Alpha letters, no matter who you are. " Gail M. Martin

A successful bowl-a-thon The Delta Omicron Chapter adopted a new philanthropic project. At the suggestion of alumnae advisor Chris Knaub, the chapter sponsored a bowl-a-than for the Spina-Bifida Association of Lancaster County.

Over 100 people participated from York College. Teams of three signed up prior to the event and had friends and families sponsor them . Through this support , over $2 ,000 was raised for the Spina-Bifida Association .

Door prizes were given throughout the afternoon by local businesses and a local radio station. A prize was awarded to the team with the highest number of pins.

Next fall, the chapter plans to expand the bowl-a-than to include teams from the community as well as York College.

Walk路a-thon successful Members of the Epsilon Alpha Chapter got their exercise in a 6.2mile walk around town. March of Dimes held a contest for organizations on campus, and the group that raised the most money for March of Dimes would win a very large trophy.

The Columbia County Walk America was a success with many groups participating. The Alpha Sigs walked away with a trophy and a plaque. The trophy was for raising the most mon. ey overall and the plaque for the individual who raised the most money. The Alpha Sigs had sponsors for the philanthropic project from people in town and on campus.

The Epsilon Alpha Chapter is looking forward to an even better walk next year.

Campus enrichment Loyola University is a Jesuit institution in which four campuses are united for a common cause. Three of the campuses are based in the Chicago area and the fourth is in Rome , Italy.

SUMMER 1986

A Jesuit institution creates an unusual atmosphere in which growth of the individual is stressed. Loyola University's goals, ideals and values all focus on the development of "a well rounded individual ," which is the Jesuit tradition . Gamma Lambda has incorporated Jesuit philosophy to follow Alpha Sigma Alpha 's four-fold objective, which is also aimed toward individual enrichment.

Every semester members travel to the Rome Center Campus, not only for personal fulfillment , but also to return with many tales of their escapades while scampering through Europe. Through this , Gamma Lambda has become culturally richer.

Alumnae have also continued in the great Jesuit tradition . Many can be found either working or continuing their education at Loyola's Medical Center.

By sharing these and many more experiences, Gamma Lambda has grown to a rewarding point ?f unification.

Home away from home The members of the Gamma Eta Chapter traveled across the country and throughout the world this semester. Some of these trips were made alone and some included large groups of Gamma Etas. These trips were as close as Ft. Lauderdale and as far away as England.

The trips were "kicked-off" with a vacation to Miami to cheer the Nittany Lions to victory in the Orange Bowl Jan. 1, 1986. Although the football team was not successful in accomplishing its goal , the Gamma Etas were. And that goal was to have fun.

On Jan. 13, Nancy Baffa left the country to student teach in England.

She has been extremely busy and is having the time of her life in a country new to her. She spends most of her free time traveling throughout England and the rest of Europe.

As February rolled to a close , spring fever struck. A few members drove west to Colorado to spend their week on the ski slopes. They spent many hours perfecting their skills on skis, and the week passed much too quickly. On the other hand , a good many Gamma Etas de-

cided. to have fun in the sun. Some went to the traditional spring break place, Ft. Lauderdale. Having fun is the rule there, and it was followed by the Gamma Etas visiting Florida.

Another hot spot for break was the Bahamas. Quite a few members spent a relaxing week in the tropical sun. Time passed too quickly as the days were spent sightseeing , shopping at the straw market and snorkeling.

Special events The Gamma Zeta Chapter is special because of the love for Alpha Sigma Alpha that its members share.

Each one of the Alpha Sigs wears her letters proudly and is always ready to share happy times with others.

Each month, a different pair of rzs is requested to plan a special event for the chapter. These two organize the activity and report to the chapter concerning the time and place. (It's fun to keep it a secret, too!)

A new program was implemented last fall that gave the rzs another reason to be together. "Alpha Sig Night Out " has been a success .

Some of the adventures experienced were a pizza party (complete with Madonna look-alikes from a local high school) and an "Oriental" night at the movies with Godzilla himself!

As much fun as these activities are, the thing that makes these nights special is the love the rzs have for each other. There are special feelings among the girls that make even the most mundane things fun to do . . . together.

Spring semester projects Spring semester was one of the busiest semesters ever for the Beta Delta Chapter. The year started with a sisterhood retreat and a hayride party, both of which were in January.

Two of the favorite open rush par· ties were a taffy pull and a "Gone With the Wind" party.

The annual "Red Slipper Ball" was in New Orleans.

To end the year right, the chapter planned fund-raising projects for Special Olympics. Also on the agen· da were a parent-daughter banquet and senior tea.

Gina Infinto was chosen as our representative for Greek God· dess. Five of our members led the Ia· crosse team to an undefeated start.

Spring also brought new officers, initiation and the senior picnic. Gam· rna Xis pledged themselves to fulfill another 20 years of leadership and service to Slippery Rock University, and we have made a great start on that pledge.

Unequaled by no other Individuality is the key to the Alpha Gamma Chapter's success and popularity. Each and every member makes a special contribution with her personal assets and these charac· teristics keep the chapter unique .

The Alpha Gams strive for perfec· tion and unity; however, each mem· ber is an individual who contributes various looks, opinions, interests and personalities to make the chapter original. The chapter is constantly changing with each new member.

These changes keep the quality of the Alpha Gams outstanding.

Being yourself and contributing your finest qualities and assets are THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

the only prerequisites for member· ship in the Alpha Gam chapter.

Sound easy? It's not. But the Alpha Gams have a long-standing success rate in their quest each semester for discovering members who live by and exhibit these fine traits. Each new member helps open new doors and widen new horizons for the oth· ers. But most important is the mem· ber's ability to uphold the integrity of the chapter, respect it and represent it with the pride the letters and other members exemplify.

The devotion and pride exerted during pledging is continued throughout life as a member. Wear· ing the letters as a pledge is an over· whelming and exciting feeling and the feeling doesn't change or be· come less important to the members after pledgeship; so much pride, spir· it and dedication is exerted daily and this is reflected by the faces and let· ters worn by the Alpha Gams.

It's easy to recognize an Alpha Sig by her letters and accessories, but Alpha Gams need no letters to be recognized as extraordinary. They leave their mark wherever they go , and they are remembered not by the letters they wear, but by the smiles and special characteristics that make them individuals. With the Alpha Gamma Chapter you see the person first and you know that person could belong to no other chapter but Alpha Gamma!

Fun, intelligence and consider· ation are three words that can be used to describe the Beta Epsilon Chapter. The chapter continues to hold the tradition of a strong and di· verse sorority.

This past year at "Greek Sing," an annual talent competition among the Greeks, a total of eight awards were given to the various sororities who exemplified outstanding qualifica· tions within the categories. The first award was for scholarship. This was awarded to the sorority that had obtained the highest GPA; Alpha Sigma Alpha placed first.

In addition to scholarship, AEA placed in all seven remaining catego· ries, which ranged from intramurals to community service. Beta Epsilon is very proud of the support it gives to its national philanthropy, mental retardation. In an effort to raise mon· ey for the mentally retarded, AEA sponsored a rock-a-thon. It consisted of 24 hours of nonstop rocking in an oversized rocking chair. Two mem· bers rocked together for 30 minutes at a time . Also, each member was responsible for getting as many sponsors from the community as possible.

Despite the rain, which forced the event to be held indoors, the rock-a· thon was a success. The chapter ex· ceeded its goal.
