Founders' Day Message
-I
The A~A challenge: .Become involved by Diane James
National President As I reflect at this time of Alpha Sigma Alpha's founding , 89 years ago on Nov. 15, 1901 , I am thankful that our Founders had the foresight and commitment to an idea of an organization that would one day become an important part of over 42,000 women's lives. It is not only the foresight and commitment of our five Founders, Virginia Boyd Noell, Louise Cox Carper, Juliette Hundley Gilliam, Mary Williamson Hundley and Calva Watson Wootton , that has made Alpha Sigma Alpha what it is today, but also the commitment of all the women who have followed in their footsteps and have become initiated members of Alpha Sigma Alpha. It is always a pleasure to attend our National Convention. It is one of the greatest places to witness the commitment of our members. Alpha Sigma Alpha's 1990 convention was held at the beautiful Registry Resort in Scottsdale, AZ, in June. It was a time to reflect on our past and look to our future and witness sisterhood and sharing of ideas and ideals. It was a time for members, from all areas of the country, to come together and share in their national sisterhood and learn what will make them more vital leaders of their chapters. I can only feel that if our Founders had been there to witness this event, they would be pleased with the direction that their organization has taken. I am certain that the women who attended this convention went away with re newed commitment to Alpha Sigma Alpha, her ideals and her aspirations for the future. Although this convention was one of learning and one of sharing joy, it was also one at which we gave homage to one of our greatest leaders. A special memorial to Wilma Wilson Sharp was given at this first convention since her death. Mrs.
2 FALL 1990
Sharp was a woman who reflected the ideals of Alpha Sigma Alpha in her daily life and truly lived according to the Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha, which she wrote. Mrs. Sharp has our love and respect and will be sorely missed by all members of Alpha Sigma Alpha. During the last biennium, Alpha Sigma Alpha 's National Council asked the membership what it wanted for the future of our organization. The Long Range Strategic Planning Committee sent out questionnaires and compiled the information sent in. Linda Rogers, chairman of the Long Range Strategic Planning Committee, addressed the convention body with some of the responses the committee received from members. The committee outlined several goals in its report , which included providing services that improve members' personal and business skills and stimulate interest; maximizing the sorority's financial security by raising, investing and spending money wisely; developing an efficient and effective organizational structure; strengthening public and member awareness of a positive sorority image; continuing to improve the efficiency of daily operations in meeting the needs for services by members and ensuring those services reflect the quality image of Alpha Sigma Alpha. It is now the duty of the National Council to work toward fulfilling the goals our membership has outlined for us. However, we now need the commitment of all our members to work toward these goals. Our membership is our greatest asset, but we need a membership that is willing to work toward the goals that will make our organization a strong, vital and relevant one in today's world. University campuses are opening up across the county for new sorority chapters. However , the unive rsiti es expect area alumnae involvement with .these new chap-
ters. Without the commitment of ' our alumnae in the areas where expansion is open, the university will not consider us a viable candidate. The universities realize how very important our alumnae are to the 路 success of chapters. The alumna member gives a chapter the longtime strength, continuity, guidance and maturity that it needs to be successful. It is true that alumnae can be a financial help to our organization, but we also need our alumnae to give of their time, abilities, knowledge and love to our sorority, both on the national and the local level. Alpha Sigma Alpha, along with all Greek organizations, needs to meet the challenge of the world as it is today. This is a challenge that we must meet by developing programming that makes our members committed , vital and intelligent members of society. Even though our values as Greeks are much the same as they were at the time of our founding in 1901 , that of sisterhood and friendship, we must, as a vital part of the 1990s, broaden our commitment to that of bringing a quality experience to our membership. This experience should enable a woman to strengthen her abilities as a leader and heir her develop into a person that wil give of herself throughout her life to her sorority, her campus and her community. This is a challenge I give to each and every member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The challenge to strengthen our organization with your involvement, both at the local and the national level. At this time of our founding, let us be grateful to those in the past who have guided Alpha Sigma Alpha to the point she is today, but let us meet the challenge of the future to make Alpha Sigma Alpha an even stronger member of the Greek world. My best wishes to you on this 89th anniversary of Alpha Sigma Alpha and her sisterhood.

The 36th Alpha Sigma Alpha National Co!'vention was held at the Registry Resort in Scottsdale, only minutes from Phoenix, in the midst of the Arizona desert. Though the average maximum temperature in the Phoenix area for June is 101 degrees, the average high temperature during the fourday convention, June 27 to July 1, 1990, was 120 degrees. Those that arrived on Tuesday, June 26, can attest to surviving the all-time record high of 122 degrees for the Phoenix area. We can all confirm Convention 1990 sizzled in Scottsdale. Four business meetings were held, the first on Wednesday, June 2 7. Manford Braig, representing the Registry Resort, welcomed the convention body to Scottsdale. Jim Vredenburgh, executive director of Theta Xi fi·aternity, who was at the Registry to attend the Fraternity Executives Association meeting, also greeted attendees at the opening session . During the first business session, National President Diane James gave the state of the sorority address and highlighted several accomplishments of the biennium, including the national pledge program , expansion, the long-range planning committee, the Em Frost

leadership development institute and the foundation. The first official day of convention ended with a hoedown complete with grilled hamburge rs , chips and pop. Those attending participated in a human bingo game and " the great T-shirt exchange" to meet other collegians and alumnae. Participants took th e ir bingo sheets, sought others to help complete it and of course yelled "bingo" when a row, column or diagonal was completed. Bingo participants were given a signal to exchange th e T-shirt th ey had brought with the person they were talking to at that time . Th e second busin ess me e ting convened at 8 a.m. on Thursday, followed by the Foundation Breakfast , "Reaching for the Stars." Bonni e Ko e n ema nn , foundation chairman , recognized those who had contributed to the foundation since its ince ption in 1986 and encouraged everyone to be a contributor. Rosemary Goss, vice president of dev e lopm e nt , spoke on h e r hopes for the foundation when she first " reached for the stars" and helped form the foundation during her term as national president. A strong focus was placed on education throughout the convention with a series of workshops organized by Elaine Fuerst, workshop chairman and vice pres iden t of program. A full day of workshops followed the foundation breakfast. Collegians attended workshops on the pledge program, led by Marti Stratton , and money management, led by Connie Hoffman.

Stratton was "our Dave" and had teams come up with their own " top ten" lists for various categories. National Council had a top ten list of their own at the last business meeting on Saturday, June 30. The category: where the 1992 convention will be held. No, not the basement of National Headquarters, the Bermuda Triangle or Diane James' house. Number one on the list was Baltimore, MD. Rose Felin, headquarters executiv e and credentials committee
chairman, reported a count of 206 convention attendees, 128 voting del ega tes , at th e last business meeting. Two more workshops were held following the meeting for collegians, alumnae and advisors: "ALA 2001" and " Career Planning." Following the workshops , the province directors took the chapter members out for lunch. The afternoon was free for last minute swimming or shopping. After the installation of the N ationa! Council on Saturday evening, the traditional Awards Banquet provided the finale to another successful convention. Five chapter awards and seven individual awards were presented. A complete report will appear in the winter Phoenix. During the convention, the A:EA Foundation sold chances for an official Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority watch, with the sorority crest on the dial. Mary Pittman, Epsilon Beta and Chicago Metro Alumnae Chapter, who purchased nearly half the chances, held the winning ticket when the drawing was held at the awards banquet. The grand fin ale of the evening was a slide show, the result of efforts by a photographer who attended convention functions , taking pictures of activities in progress. A raving success, the applause level was enough to persuade an encore presentation. Everyone was given a convention logo mug for a souvenir of this sizzling 1990 National Convention.

Scholarship
Communication skills crucial to success by Marianne Bullock Former Scholarship Chairman
There are a number of qualities that successful students all share, including confidence, initiative, good judgment, intelligence, organizational ability, perserverance and good communication skills. While each is important, communication skills are crucial to success. If you cannot express yourself well, no one will ever learn about your other qualities, such as confidence and intelligence. You must be able to express your ideas to your professors , employers, peers and associates. The first step in communication is listening. Listen to your audience, your employer, your professor. Determine what they want. This allows you to focus on what the audience cares about when you communicate your message. Develop a mission statement of what you wish to communicate for formal presentations. Take a mo-
ment to think about what you want to say when answering questions in class or at a job interview. Create a presentation formula based on knowledge your audience already has about your subject, what you want them to know and the main points you want them to remember. Keep in mind it is your responsibility to get and keep audience interest and assist the audience in absorbing the information. To communicate effectively, grab your group's attention, know your subject, and speak (or write) confidently. Visual aids such as pictures or graphs will add impact to your words. It is also your responsibility to create a positive climate for communication. Studies have shown that psychological climate affects our ability to communicate verbally. A positive climate can be created by a number of factors , including really listening, maintaining good eye contact, lack of interruptions and being open-minded, among others. Positive climates fa-
cilitate effective communication. Here are a few points to remember when communicating verbally: l. Talk as you normally do. Don't read or memorize your speech. 2. Speak to one person at a time and maintain good eye contact with your audience. 3. Take it slow and easy. Speak at a normal pace. Written communication follows similar rules: 1. Think the way the reader does. Focus on what the reader wants to know. 2. Write as you normally speak. 3. Don't use buzzwords or jargon the reader may not be familiar with. You want to get a point across, not impress someone with your extensive vocabulary. Finally, practice, practice, practice. The first few times you speak to a group can be very intimidating, but it does get easier. Likewise, your writing skills will improve if you continue to work at it. Good communication skills last a lifetime. fr fr

Extension Or how Alpha Sigma Alpha grows by Rosemary Carucci Goss Vice President of Development
" ... and by the authority in me vested I hereby install you Epsilon Tau Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha." With these words Suzanne Kilgannon installed the final chapter of the 1988~90 biennium. As the installation came to a close, I began to reflect upon the expansion efforts of the last two years, and where Alpha Sigma Alpha's expansion program is heading as we begin the 1990s. Expansion is to ALA what rush is to an individual chapter. We must continue to expand and grow or else be left behind. In the last few years, expansion opportunities have mushroomed as more women than ever desire to be Greek. Alpha Sigma Alpha's expansion decisions are guided by the extension philosophy of the national council as well as avail ab le resources. Extension efforts require a great deal of time and financial commitment. Each expansion decision must be weighed carefully. When evaluating campuses for possible extension, Alpha Sigma Alpha considers the quality of the institution, the amount of institutional support for Greek life , panhellenic support, alumnae support and the requirements for housing. We also must not forget our existing chapters and their needs. Expansion can take place in three basic ways: recolonization on a campus where we existed previously, colonization of an existing local on a new campus or originating a new chapter on a campus where we have not previously existed. Recolonization: Early in the biennium, the National Council identified as one priority the return to campuses that had strong Greek support where we had previously had a chapter and still had strong 12 FALL 1990
alumnae support. One such opportunity came last year when we were invited to return to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK. Be ta Gamma had been closed during the turmoil of the anti-Greek movement of the 1970s. Last summer, the Tulsa alumnae were contacted, and a visit was made to the campus to determine the amount of support for a new group. Alumnae in the Tahlequah and Muskogee areas also were contacted. After it was determined that there was enough interest for a new group, the National Council voted to recolonize in October. A national rush team and Oklahoma alumnae conducted a week-long rush after formal rush and pledged the campus total of 50 women. The new Beta Gamma was installed on April 28, 1990. Colonization of an existing local: Letters are received almost weekly from locals wanting to affiliate with a national organization. This has increased in recent years as more and more fraternities have requ ired their " little sister" groups to disband, and th e women decide to form a local sorority. In addition, many campuses that have had only local sororities encourage or sometimes require chapters to affiliate with a national for liability purposes. Epsilon Tau Chapter at the University of Maryland Baltimore County was colonized in this way. After much correspondence during the summer of 1989, I was invited to make a presentation to the local group in October. Since I was so impressed with the women, it was difficult to wait for their decision until they had had presentations from three other national sororities. I was thrilled to receive the phone call that they had voted to petition A:LA for colony status. Pledging took place in November, as soon as possible after the National Council vote.
versity of' Epsilon Tau Chapter was installed on May 12, 1990. Origination of a new colony: Perhaps the most difficult way to obtain a new colony is on a campus where a totally new group is pledged. This type of colonization takes place upon the invitation of a university panhellenic. Panhellenics will typically request proposals from Nation al Panh e ll enic Conference groups not represented on that campus. From those who reply, two to four groups will be invited to make presentations. Join ed by many Indianapoli s alumn ae , it was my pleasure in March 1990 to make a presentation to the panhellenic at Indiana University in Bloomington. In April, we were notified that we had been selected to colonize following formal rush in January 1991. Plans arealready underway for that colonization rush. THE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA

If you know that a campus near you is considering expansion, by all means let me know. However, the expansion may be coming at a time when all of our resources are already committed. We want to expand but not at so fast a rate that we jeopardize our reputation for follow-through with our chapters, both new and existing. Alumnae can be most helpful by belonging to organized alumnae chapters, participating in alumnae panhellenics and saying "yes" when asked to serve as advisors. Probably the largest single factor a panhellenic considers when inviting a group to campus is the strength of the local alumnae support. If we have no visible alumnae support in an area where a campus is requesting expansion information, no matTHE PHOENIX OF ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA
ter how wonderful the campus is, I do not waste my time and Alpha Sigma Alpha's resources to complete a sometimes lengthy questionnaire. It is a fact that groups without strong local alumnae support will not be selected by a university. The 1988-90 biennium has been a good one for Alpha Sigma Alpha expansion e fforts. Many new recruitment items, such as a slide show, buttons, posters and bumper stickers, were developed to carry out the " Catch the Alpha SpiritAn Attitude of Excellence" theme. A new rush brochure and folder are under development. Five chapters were installed: Epsilon Nu, State University of New York at Brockport; Epsilon Xi , Kuntztown University of Pennsylvania; Epsilon Rho, William Paterson College , Wayne, NJ ; Beta Gamma, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, OK; and Epsilon
Tau, University of Maryland Baltimore County. Colonies also have been established at Tarleton State University, Stephenville, TX; University of Virginia, Charlottesville; and California Univ e rsity of Pennsylvania. 路 As we look to the decade of the 1990s, we know that the number of college age students will decline, tuition will continue to increase, and in some parts of the country, faculty and administrators will continue to withdraw support for GrP.eks. In the short run , we still should have plenty of opportunities to expand, but must make informed selection decisions and seek strong 路 alumnae support. By working together, we can truly show that we all have " Caught the Alpha Spirit."

Chapter Consultants
Have suitcase, will travel Tracy Neff Ready or not , Tracy Ne ff will soon learn the art of compact packing when she begins her new position as chapter consultant. She expects both joys and frustrations in this position, but believes the rewards will be plentiful. One of the reasons Tracy was interested in the position was her acquaintances with past chapter consultants. " I remember how we benefitted from th e ir visits and what we learned at those times," she says. Tracy , a Beta Th eta Chapter member at Central Michigan University, has held a wide range of sorority positions , including president, standards chairman, sisterhood council member, alumnae relations member and homecoming chairman. She was also a member of the Greek council , comprised of chapter preside nts. She attended the 1988 National Convention and th e MIFCA-MAPCA Leadership Conference. Fellow Beta Theta members recognize her efforts by presenting her with th e Chapt e r Ideal Pl e dge award, best active award (voted by pledg es), outstandin g me mb e r award (voted by actives) , Chapter Frost Fidelity award and highest active CPA award. Dino Martinez, Beta Theta chapter advisor, says Tracy has the qualiti es to b e an effec tiv e chapter consultant. " She possesses the motivation, maturity and diplomacy to represe nt the national office and the ideals of the sorority." Tracy has completed a bachelor's degree in communication disorde rs and psychology. She was on th e dean's list several times. " I must admit I am not finish ed learning and growing from my expe ri e nces as a me mber of Alpha Sigma Alph a," she says. " This is why I believe I can continue to contribute to Alpha Sigma Alpha and to myself as a chapte r co nsult ant."

Andrea Tunia Andrea Tunia, Epsilon Iota Chapter member, believes that building a chapter requires hard work, determination and commitment. She will soon find these qualities are a requirement for the position of a chapter consultant as well. " Alpha Sigma Alpha was much more than I ever expected," Andrea says. " It contributed so much to my life that I want to share with others the love, support and friendship I discovered in Alpha Sigma Alpha and from which I have greatly bene fitt ed ." Andrea has bee n involved with num erous organizations at Christian Brothers College. She was the foundin g president of the Christian Brothers BACCHUS chapter in Fall 1989. She also was an academ ic peer counselor. Evelyn A. McDonald , panh e ll e nic advisor , says "There are only two such positions in the college, and Andrea was chosen two years in a row to hold this
responsible position. She has fulfill e d h e r duti es exce ptionally well. " Andrea also has been active with Epsilon Iota. She has held the offices of president, treasurer, chaplain, assistant membership director, Greek council representative, alternate senator and scholarship and fundraising chairman. Mari Hunt e r , form e r chapter consultant, says, " As president, Andrea led the chapter into an area they had not traveled. She had the foresight to see a need for open rush , and she motivated the chapter to participate . With Andrea's influ e nce, I have seen Epsilon Iota grow in sisterhood as we ll as membership. " Andrea appeared on th e CBC dean 's list , th e national d ean 's list, was named an Outstanding College Student of America and received thr ee scholarships.

Christine Leakey Packing, catching shuttl es and comparing airport layouts will become routine for Christine Leakey, Gamma Omega, one of the three recently selected chapter consultants . Christin e feels leadership is an important trait of a chapter consultant, for she must gain the respect of each chapter by di splaying leadership skills, one of which is the ability to moti vate each me mbe r to collectively develop and strengthen the chapter's functions. Christine's involvement with Alpha Sigma Alpha and other organizati ons has enhanced her leadership

Not only was Christine active in chapter activities, she was a member ofPhi Alpha Eta (women's honorary), Delta Mu Delta (business honorary) and data processing manage me nt assoc iati on and p oints chairman for Order of Omega. She received the Chapter Eli zabeth Bird Small award and highest
CPA award in 1987. She appeared on the dean's list several times and received a full tuition scholarship her freshman year. She graduated with a bachelor of science in business with a major in computer management and a minor in psychology. Christine defin es a chapter consultant as having many characteristi cs. " She should . . . respect and be committed to the sorority, be a fri end to all but still be capable of takin g care of business, lik e to travel, be a good teacher in order to provide guidance and knowledge, b e a good li st ene r. Fin all y she should be a good re prese ntative sin ce she will meet not only her own sisters but women from other sororiti es, as well as advisors, faculty, student activities directors and others.

Packing the suitcases away Ma ri a Mal ay t e r a nd Nanc y Clohisy displayed their dedication to ALA by taking a year out of their lives to travel for the sorority. They chose the slogan, " An Attitude of Excellence," and applied it to their visits to Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters across the country. "We, as consultants, devote one year of our lives to living out of a suitcase, se rving ' on g uard ' 2 4 hours a day, challenging personal relationships and trusting our care to total strangers," Maria said, "all to serve the continuous goal of Alpha Sigma Alpha's success at every campus across the U.S." And the successes are there, she added. "These women have chosen Alpha Sigma Alpha for a way to have a more enjoyable college experience and are making an impact on these campuses." " As I traveled , I stressed to my chapters the importance of goal setting," Nancy said. "To have a direction to follow, we all need goals, and we need to work together to attain those goals.

Maria Malayter (left) and Nancy Clohtsy spend some of their rare free time on the road together.
"The officers in a chapter cannot do it alone," she added . " Nor can our national officers do it alone ei-
ther. It takes each and everyone of us to make ALA the best it can be." Membership in ALA lasts a lifetim e, Nan cy re minds us. " And there are always ways to stay involved and to show your dedication to our organization." Both Maria and Nancy found the A1:A principle s of self-sacrifice, self-control and self-confidence important to their year of travel. "I had to depend on myself for my own happiness," Nancy said. "The membership education I received as a collegian gave me the ability to be self-reliant. " Maria said, " I not only learned to pack for a few months at a time in 30 minutes or less, but I learned to the fullest degree a principle of Alpha Sigma Alpha: Life is not only taking from others but giving freely of ourselves because the rewards are unmeasurable ." We all have to thank Maria and Nancy for their year of dedication and " Attitude of Excell ence" as they strove to " give full measure" to Alpha Sigma Alpha. * * * FALL 1990

Members of Delta Epsilon Chapter at Mansfi e ld Unive rsity led th e ir 1990 spring rushees down the " Yellow Brick Road" to AI:A. Dorothy, a rushee, who was very confused about Greek life, began her journey down the " AI:A road" to find a home away from home. On her way, she met a scarecrow, who was looking for a sorority to help her with school and to improve her grades. As Doroth y and th e scarecrow continued th e ir journ ey, th ey met th e tinwoman, who was looking for an organization to put love in her heart, and a lion , who was looking for some people to share in her physical interests. At th e end of the road, the four rushees found Alpha Sigma Alpha and began to fulfill all their social, intellectual, spiritual and physical needs.
The Delta Kappa Chapter used the "Club AI:A" theme during fall rush. The room was decorated with ALA memorabili a and at the front a stage was decorated like a big-screen television. Two rushees flipped through the channels where they discovered " Club AI:A" and " Downtown Julie Brown ."

Alcoholic awareness week observed
Chapter survives ice storm, black out
Delta Omicron Chapter and other organizations at York College observed alcohol awareness week. A drunk driving obstacle course was set up on the top level of the school's parking deck. Cones were put in place to create the course. Tri• cycles were used as vehicles. Michele Burk, a senior, was Delta Omicron's volunteer for the activity. Every half hour or so the participants drank and then attempted to ride through the obstacle course on their tricycles. Each participant was given points for things they did wrong, such as falling over, hitting another "driver" or going off the "road."
On Valentine's Day, an ice storm at the University of Illinois broke tree limbs and shut off power to over 1.5,000 homes, including the Epsilon Beta Chapter house. Over the next few days, chapter members learned how to live by candlelight-dress , do homework and even cook. The gas stove and hot water heater were the only appliances working. As the rooms grew too cold to sleep in , members brought blankets to the living roo)Tl, where the fireplace burned continuously. Surprisingly , nothing was canceled-classes, exams or the chapter formal dance. Fortunately, power returned the night before the formal , which allow ed everyone to get dressed with electricity. One last candle was lit, however, for a candlelighting during the dance .
