What does balance mean to you?

“Balance is knowing what aspects of my life are most important to me and prioritizing so each will get the attention that is needed. I feel most fulfilled when there is enough give and take in both my personal and work life so one doesn’t overpower the other.”

-Colleen Metzler, AΓ

"I have found that balance is much more than simply how I divide my time and energy. Balance is being flexible with competing priorities and practicing discernment in knowing when it is time for those priorities to shift."

-Jordan Huntze Walker, BΛ, Region 6 Facilitator

“A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that balances your steps as you walk the tight rope of life.”

-Joan M. Bacon, BI, Greater Jacksonville Alumnae Chapter President

"Balance is the ability to invest my time and energy into my personal development, professional endeavors, hobbies and relationships. I find balance by creating a schedule where I can accomplish a few tasks each day while leaving room for spontaneous and unexpected things that may pop up!"

-Megan Lisch, EΦ, Ritual Revision Study Team member

Celebrating the Ties that Bind B Y KE LLY MCGI N NI S B E C K, EK, N ATIO N A L PR E SIDEN T

Life was very different back in 1919. Did you know that at that time, a woman’s life expectancy in the United States was age 56? Congress ratified the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. Rotary dial telephones were introduced, the Black Sox Scandal saw nine players permanently banned from major league baseball, and President Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke. His wife Edith Bolling Wilson, is believed to have run the Executive branch of the government for the rest of his term, making her the first unofficial female president of the United States. It is also the year Alpha Sigma Alpha opened a chapter at Central Missouri State Teachers College in Warrensburg, MO. On March 29-30, 2019, I had the unique opportunity to attend Zeta Zeta Chapter’s centennial celebration. It was a wonderful weekend full of sisterhood, friendship and honoring the history of Zeta Zeta Chapter. Alumnae from all over the U.S. came to celebrate, reconnect and reminisce. I was grateful to have the opportunity to visit with members, hear their stories and share in their history.

As I looked through the chapter’s display of archives, I was struck by the rich history of our sorority and especially the Zeta Zeta Chapter. Many Alpha Sigma Alphas are familiar with the story of how, at the 1930 Boston convention, members convened at another hotel to elect Wilma Wilson Sharp, ZZ, as the new national president, thus removing Ida Shaw Martin, who, at that time, was taking our beloved sorority in a direction that many members were against. Standing in front of the Zeta Zeta charter hanging on the chapter room wall, I realized it was Ida Shaw Martin who signed that charter as national president, and Wilma Wilson Sharp was listed as a charter member. Where would Alpha Sigma Alpha be today without these two women? While it seems a bit strange to have had a Delta Delta Delta lead Alpha Sigma Alpha for so many years, had it not been for Ida Shaw Martin, we may not have had a Zeta Zeta Chapter, and would not have had Wilma Wilson Sharp as a member.

I also found the scrapbook of a young chapter president, Betty Urban, from when she attended her first convention at Estes Park in 1946. The scrapbook was filled with memorabilia and first-hand accounts of her experience there. That young woman had no way of knowing that in 30 years she would be installed

by Wilma Wilson Sharp as national president at the 1976 convention. While Betty Urban Wallick was unable to join the Zeta Zeta centennial celebration in Warrensburg, members in attendance were treated to a video interview in which she shared her special memories.

Most of us will not have the opportunity to celebrate our chapter’s centennial anniversary. While I may be in good health today, I think it’s highly unlikely I’ll live to be 111 years old, which is how old I would be when Epsilon Kappa Chapter celebrates its centennial.

No matter the chapter or its age, the purpose of Alpha Sigma Alpha is to foster close friendships between members and to develop women of poise and purpose.

On March 29 and 30, I witnessed first-hand those close friendships formed at the University of Central Missouri and beyond. The bond of sorority runs deep. It truly is the ties that bind us.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear readers, In May I attended the Fraternity Executives Association (FEA) annual meeting.

FEA is the professional association of men’s and women’s fraternity executives that serves to provide for the professional development of its members while promoting the values and success of the fraternal movement. During this meeting, as with any conference, I attended keynote speakers and educational workshops on relevant topics facing the fraternity/sorority community. I met with vendors that provide potential partnerships for our organization. I also networked with colleagues to share best practices.

The highlight of this conference, however, is spending time with executives who have served their organizations for 25+ years. I often find myself in awe listening to their stories and taking away tidbits of knowledge from the years of experience they have gained. In a world where working for a single company for one’s entire career is no longer the norm, these men and women have shared with me that balancing a career, a family and volunteering is all possible. As you will later read in Dr. Daryl Appleton’s article (page 14), there is no such thing as work-life balance. Work is a large part of life, so separating it from your life, doesn’t make sense. The one thing that I hear over and over again from these tenured executives is that in order to balance your life, you need to have a passion for what you do.

This issue contains valuable information on how to keep balance in your life.

From adapting a healthy lifestyle to managing “the sway” to finding time for tea, I hope you find information that inspires you. Ultimately, it is my hope that this issue will assist you in maintaining balance in your life.

NEWS & UPDATES

NATIONAL PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERSHIP CHANGE Alpha Sigma Alpha adopted the S. June Smith Center (“Center”) as a national philanthropic partner in 1990. In 2013, Excentia acquired the S. June Smith Center to expand their services to include children, which provided the Center greater financial and staff support. As Excentia continues the expansion and growth of their services, they have decided to rebrand and unify their services under one name.

Excentia will discontinue the use of the S. June Smith Center name effective July 2019. As a result of this change, Excentia/S. June Smith Center will no longer be named as a national philanthropic partner of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Chapters who have supported the Center are encouraged to continue supporting Excentia as a local philanthropic partner.

Zeta Zeta Chapter Centennial Celebration at the University of Central Missouri

By Director of Alumnae Engagement Vanessa David, ΔΚ and Colleen Haag, ZZ

“For a century now, Zeta Zeta Chapter has fostered close friendships among members and developed women of poise and purpose. This university and the women of Zeta Zeta Chapter have always, and will always, be a significant and cherished part of our Sorority’s history.”

On April 4, 1919, Miss Ida Jewett, national vice president and Miss Minnie Shockley, national ritualist, initiated 13 collegiate members and 14 alumnae members at Warrensburg Teachers College, creating the Zeta Zeta Chapter.

Wilma Wilson Sharp was one of the founding members.

One hundred years later, March 29-31, 2019, more than 200 members attended the 100th anniversary celebration at the University of Central Missouri.

The weekend started with a welcome reception at the Student Union. On Saturday morning there was an open house at the Alpha Sigma Alpha residence hall wing. Despite the colder temperatures and rain/snow, many

Zeta Zeta alumnae attended and enjoyed reminiscing and taking pictures in their “old” rooms.

Saturday morning also included a service project for the Warrensburg Missouri Veterans home. The project included putting puffy paint on tube socks to make them non-skid, making walker bags, decorating tennis balls to use for strengthening exercises and other craft items for the residents to enjoy.

On Saturday night the celebration continued with a banquet. The program began with the UCM president, Dr. Roger Best, giving a welcome address with his wife, Robin, in attendance.

A video was shown of Betty Urban Wallick, past national president,

In today’s society, we often hear people talking about developing a healthier lifestyle. For some this means a better diet, building strength or exercising more.

Being healthy is about being the best you. In doing so, this often takes balance: balancing your time to make sure you exercise and balancing your diet to make sure you have healthy foods along with the chocolate cake.

5 steps to better wellness 1. Maintain a regular exercise routine

Working out may seem like a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be. Just 30 minutes of exercise a day can be the start you need to start improving and maintaining your health. Working out helps burn extra calories, is good for the heart and circulatory system, helps focus and improves overall well-being.

Working out doesn’t have to mean getting up at the crack of dawn to hit the gym. It can be as simple as going for a walk at lunch, doing yoga or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The great thing about your workout plan is that it is yours. You have the ability to choose what you want to do.

2. Be conscious of your diet

Living a healthy lifestyle is going to look different for everyone. If you’re embarking on the journey of a healthier lifestyle, here are a few tips that can help you maintain balance.

12 Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha

Being conscious of your diet doesn’t mean you cut out great tasting food, especially the ones you love. Start by simply removing excess junk food and sweets from your diet and adding more nutritious foods including vegetables, fruit and protein.

Eating healthy doesn’t need to be expensive either- check for deals at your grocery store, head to your local farmers market or plan your meals in order to get the best prices on healthy foods.

Your diet doesn’t just include what you eat, but also when you eat.

Avoid skipping meals- this will only make you sluggish, tired and surprisingly hungrier. Food is fuel for our bodies, so we need to ensure we are fueling our bodies properly with the right nutrients.

Remember, living a healthy lifestyle is all about balance. This includes balance in your diet too. Want that chocolate cake on the dessert menu? Go for it! You don’t have to cut out your favorite treats; it’s all about moderation. If you do happen to stray from your diet, don’t beat yourself up. Changing your lifestyle is a learning process and not everything is going to be perfect right away. It takes time, trial and grace for yourself.

3. Get enough sleep Sleep is essential for us to function during day-to-day activities. Without it, you are in for a groggy, slow-moving day. Are you staying up all hours of the night to continue projects for work? Close the laptop and put the notes away; they’ll be there tomorrow. Getting enough sleep is key to living a healthier, balanced lifestyle.

Not only will a few hours of sleep leave you exhausted, it can lead to health problems. According to a study done by Johns Hopkins sleep researcher Patrick Finan, Ph.D., lack of sleep can lead to cravings for sweet, salty and starchy foods and increase hunger levels- all leading to higher risks of obesity. Lack of sleep can also lead to a less active immune system, increased blood pressure and heart disease.

Do you have trouble sleeping? Try avoiding caffeine close to bedtime, write down worries or stressful thoughts before bed or even exercise.

4. Drink water Most people don’t drink enough water every day. Water is essential for our body to function. Not only does it help hydrate our bodies, but it aids in digestion and protects tissues and joints. Water is lost through sweating, digestion and even breathing so it is important to make sure we are rehydrating.

Can’t seem to give up the soda? Start by slowly removing sugary drinks from your diet and replace them with water. As you start to phase out sugary drinks you will be surprised how much you don’t crave them anymore.

Again, this doesn’t mean strictly drinking water. Enjoying a glass of soda or a milkshake will not be the end of the world, but next time you realize how thirsty you are try reaching for the water bottle instead of the soda.

5. Stay positive Research shows a positive attitude helps build a healthier immune system and boosts overall health. According to the Mayo Clinic, positive thinking helps with stress management and can even build resistance to the common cold, help with cardiovascular health and increase your life span. Start by working towards a more positive lifestyle by surrounding yourself with encouraging people and practicing positive self-talk.

Not all problems can be avoided, but these small tricks can help us face obstacles with a more optimistic outlook.

Changing your lifestyle can seem daunting.

Instead of making major changes all at once, introduce gradual changes as they are easier to maintain.

In a world marked by increasing burnout, fueled by a constant connection through technology, we are finding it nearly impossible to unplug and truly focus on being present in any area of our lives. For women, there are additional expectations. We are often sought after to manage the home and be available for the emotional labor of our relationships on top of an already demanding workload. The result is a spillover between professional and personal that feels very much like a stressed out tightrope walker, up in the air with her tiny umbrella trying to make it through a day at the circus with the singular goal of “just don’t fall.”

Day after day, I meet brilliant and wildly successful women (and men) with different versions of the same story. They have been whiteknuckling life—trying to hold it all together, constantly trying to be all things to all people, and terrified to exhale in fear of losing what they worked so hard to acquire- all in the name of balance. The cost is peace and happiness ransacked by guilt. My frustration with balance is simple. We talk so much about wanting work-life wellness, but no one teaches us that it is not realistic. It is not physically or emotionally possible to manage all things equally. Period.

Enter SWAY. Work-life sway is the more emotionally intelligent, less up tight cousin to balance. Sway gives us insight and actionable steps that provide clarity and direction in our quest to be fulfilled at work, at home and with ourselves. I have come to define Sway as an active and intentional process of building a life that you do not want to escape from.

It teaches us how to thrive rather than just survive. We can learn, through the Art of Sway, how to be more in tune with our unconscious wants and needs and develop a way to address them in an intentional moment.

Guiding Principles of Sway #1 THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WORK-LIFE BALANCE

#3 BOUNDARIES BEFORE BOYS, BOSSES AND BABIES*

We need to reframe ourselves from the lie that is “work-life balance.”

It is a trap that is fueled by guilt, shame and comparison. Sway is recognizing that there will be times when our personal life needs more attention and times when work will demand more of our focus. Sway seeks to soften the constant and demanding transition of work to life and back, rather than trying to split times and tasks equally.

inclusive few)

#2 LEARN TO BE SELFISH If Sway is the process of putting on your proverbial oxygen mask first, being selfish is understanding that you need to put said mask on first before assisting others. We all must learn to embrace that selfish is not a dirty word. In fact, elements of it are required in any healthy relationship of work, love or family. We cannot pour from an empty cup.

" let go of the chaos of old habits and embrace a new way of doing things."

(*to name a very limited and totally not

Ever hear the saying good fences make good neighbors? Boundaries are the emotional fences we put in place with our words and actions that teach people how to treat us. Good boundaries allow us to explore and voice our wants and needs in a way that is firm and kind, but also say, “hey if you don’t get off my emotional lawn we are going to have problems”. More on this later.

#4 LET GO I have learned many things in my practice. The most important lesson? You cannot save the damsel if she loves her distress.

Trust yourself enough to let go of the chaos, to transition and shift and to uproot from the hectic-butcomfortable way of doing things.

Give yourself permission to shed who you used to be. Know that you are allowed to start over and find new ways to become your best self in each and every moment of your day. If you are serious about making a change, you have to be prepared to go through uncomfortable situations. Let go of the chaos of old habits and embrace a new way of doing things.

The Art of Sway While this brief article is an entire book in the making, here are some tips, tricks and takeaways to help start you on your life of becoming a Sway-ze.

REFLECT: Your time isn’t worth much when you are unhappy. Reflection is a deep dive into the areas that are pertinent to your overall health and well-being. The process of reflection can include journaling, sitting on a quintessential therapy couch, lunch with your mentor or speaking with people whose observations you trust most. Be honest with yourself as you identify the things that are holding you back from full level joy in your life. At the end of meaningful reflection you should uncover foundational questions such as: “Why am I still at a job that I dread going to every Monday?”

“What sets me back most?” “What makes me happy?” “What are the things in my life that hurt me?”

Reflection is the area where the majority of my coaching and mental health clients come to me for help.

They know SOMETHING is not working, but they can't figure out exactly what it is or how to fix it. It can be incredibly beneficial to work with a professional in a safe and judgement-free environment. (The process gets deep and we want everyone to Sway safely!)

16 Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha

SELF-ASSESS: Self-assessment is putting it all together. It is asking ourselves: Are the stressors in my life happening to me or because of me? It is important that we know the difference. A lot of the problems around work-life stressors happen because we don't know why we do the things we do.

When we can’t identify the patterns and causes of stress, burnout strikes.

Be transparent with yourself. What bad behaviors are you putting up with internally or externally? How are you communicating with yourself and those around you? When do you feel most burned out at work or with your relationships/family? Knowing yourself is half the battle. From there you can accurately plan what you need to change and when you need to readjust.

SIMPLIFY: How many times have you made things more complicated than they needed to be? Simplifying is a key element to gaining and maintaining Sway in your life. Oftentimes we make things more complex than needed. We add in unnecessary emotions, considerations or justifications. This is the time for a gut check. Step back and ask yourself: What is the simplest answer to this problem?

COMMUNICATION: Verbalization is quite literally the act of putting a vision into the universe.

Sway is about harnessing that communicative power and using it to empower yourself. Communication through the lens of Sway includes

positive self-talk, clear external narratives and setting healthy boundaries with yourself and others.

To bring us back to one of our key elements, I want to highlight the importance of boundaries in Sway. Good communication starts with great boundaries and ends in accountability. Understanding our patterns and needs from the reflection and self-awareness phases will lead to setting healthy boundaries. You must remember, people cannot and should not have to read your mind to figure out what you need. For many, this step is incredibly difficult, but it is imperative to communicate your wants and needs to yourself and those in your world.

SELF-CARE: Let's be real. Staying in a Sway is hard! Emotional hangovers are a real thing in this process. Ultimately, we are only human. It's why many people choose to stay safe in their own respected dysfunction. Once you start to Sway, things may get a little worse before they get better (much like cleaning out that proverbial closet—everything is on the floor, it's a mess and you are crying, wondering why you did this in the first place) so, it is imperative to take care of yourself.

Now, self-care is a really deep word that gets thrown around a lot in the same sentence as “bubble baths” and “spa days.” Realistically self-care in its simplest form is self-correction.

It’s understanding that your mood doesn’t need to shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. It is the self-control of

refusing to let your emotions overpower your intelligence. The real question everyone should be asking themselves when they need to self-care is: What do I need to do to self-correct?

ACCOUNTABILITY: Lastly. Keep on keeping on. Set aside regular times to check in with your tribe, team and self. Ask yourself: How am I feeling? What areas need my attention? Am I setting aside time to “unplug”?

Accountability is finding someone to help you stay the course or putting in strict mechanisms for self-accountability with tangible timelines and check-in points.

However you do it, keep doing it.

We have set ridiculous standards for ourselves. We take cues from the “having it all" message aimed especially at women and call it life.

Learn to ignore the expectation

of being the perfect, employee, daughter, sister, friend, parent or partner and give yourself permission to pick up the store-bought baked goods, miss a work event or checkin over Skype. The point of Sway is to set and honor intentional (and, at times, in-the-moment) boundaries based in reflected wants and needs in the name of self-care. Stop thinking that you should be able to do it all and feeling like a failure when “perfect” does not happen.

Allow yourself to show signs of stress and weakness. The energy wasted on balance and perfection needs to be consciously channeled into new, creative responses to having dual lives. Embrace and accept the times when you are not giving it all at your job, your relationships or to your children. We need to stay healthy and practice self-care so that we can be available for all of the humans in our lives.

You are allowed to Sway.

I have come to define Sway as an active and intentional process of building a life that you do not want to escape from.

It teaches us how to thrive rather than just survive.

We can learn, through the Art of Sway, how to be more in tune with our unconscious wants and needs and develop a way to address them in an intentional moment.

Woman of poise & purpose

ANGIE HUBERT, ΔΗ “Early in my career, I was having a great conversation about work and life with a senior executive whom I respected. Toward the end of the conversation, he said to me “you can have the family or you can have the career, but you can’t have both effectively.” While this was pre- “Lean In” and equal pay movements, I was still taken aback because I wanted both.

20 Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha

Today I am blessed with a supportive family and a fulfilling career that has provided some amazing opportunities for all of us- like living in Singapore for 2 years. My passion at work is the intersection of employee development and technology and my goals are to support overall learning strategies that make an impact holistically while also making a difference to individual careers.

Alpha Sigma Alpha’s vision "to inspire women to lead, to serve and most of all to make a difference” instilled in me the confidence that I could pursue all of my dreams as long as I stayed rooted in servant leadership and making a difference to others. I’m grateful for this opportunity to share a little about the impact Alpha Sigma Alpha has made in my life as a woman of poise and purpose.”

“HABITS OF COURTESY” ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA AND TEA

By Jennifer McNabb, Ph.D., ΓΜ, National Historian Current trends in social media prizing both meditative self-care and authentic sociability have focused renewed attention to the relaxing and restorative powers of tea. From the continued enthusiasm for traditional afternoon tea complete with sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and confections to the drinking of matcha as an element of mainstream popular culture, the preparation and consumption of tea is deeply embedded into our 21st-century global culture.

Although some aspects of contemporary tea culture emphasize the contemplative experience of solitary tea drinking, many

34 Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha

others underscore and reinforce the communal nature of tea consumption. In America, both the beverage itself and the act of “taking tea,” which includes drinking and eating, have long been associated with hospitality and the art of entertaining. It is likely unsurprising, then, to discover that tea played a central role in the early history of Greek letter organizations, including our own Alpha Sigma Alpha. Many of you used or remember your chapter’s silver tea service from your time as a collegiate member.

An early convention saw one of the most pivotal moments in Alpha Sigma Alpha’s history celebrated with tea. When the Sorority undertook the vital work of reorganization in Oxford, Ohio in the late fall of 1914,

convention delegates and their guests marked their achievements with a magnificent tea.

“That very delightful affair” took place in the parlor of Bishop Hall, one of the Miami University residence halls. The room was decorated with red and white flowers, chrysanthemums and smilax, and “on the tea tables there were red candles in crystal sticks shaded with crimson.” Women associated with the host institution played key roles in the event, with Miami alumnae pouring and Miami freshmen serving “tea, sandwiches, and mints”: “between seventy-five and one hundred guests were present to shower congratulations on the reorganized sorority and to wish it success in the new field.”

As was the case at Miami, tea clearly functioned as a bridge between the collegiate and the alumnae communities and between chapters and other constituencies of academic and public life. In the early decades of the Sorority, for example, many

Alumnae, the next time you see one of these tea sets at an Alpha Sigma Alpha event, consider the history the pieces have likely seen. They doubtless witnessed some wonderful moments in the life of a chapter. Collegians, brush the dust off your own tea set, if you have one, and enjoy a sip of history.

Top: Still enjoying tea in 2019, NOVA Alumnae Chapter members gathered for the annual tea at the Pink Bicycle Tea Room in Occoquan, VA. Bottom: Members dressed up for the Garden Tea Party at the 2004 convention in Bonita Springs, FL.

Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters hosted deans and faculty for tea, perhaps as a means of communicating to university personnel the dignity and importance of Greek life at a time when anti-Greek sentiment proliferated on campuses. Tea also served as a means of socializing between chapters and as a way to applaud selected guests of honor and other dignitaries.

One particularly significant piece of evidence about the place that tea held in Greek life comes from Wilma Wilson Sharp. In collaboration with Zoe Davis Gose of Sigma Sigma Sigma and Lula McPherson of Pi Delta Theta, Mrs. Sharp produced a revised edition of Social Precedents and Sorority Ethics in 1938, and among the many subjects covered in the publication is entertaining with tea. The compilers note to their collegiate

audience, “As a group, you will entertain often –dinners and dances, receptions and teas, Saturday-nite firesides and dessert parties. You are, therefore, judged – personally and as a group – by your social standards and behavior.”

The fullest explanation of tea’s role in sorority life and its etiquette comes in a chapter titled, “Entertaining.” Following discussions, receptions and dinners, the compilers settle into a fuller treatment of “THE TEA”: You should arrive not later than twenty minutes before the last hour stated in your invitation. Stay at least twenty minutes whether it is an afternoon tea or an evening reception. However, at a tea, you may stay as long as you wish within the time limit of the

invitation. Keep on your hat and wear gloves until you are served. Go directly to the hostess and say, ‘How do you do, Mrs. Brown.’

If there is a guest of honor, visit for a few minutes and then find a seat. Be sociable with the guests near you – an introduction isn’t necessary. You may leave any time after you have been served. Remember to go to your hostess and say, ‘Good-bye Mrs. Brown, thank you so much’ and ‘Good-bye’ to the guest of honor.

Tea was not merely a socializing activity.

It was also a means of demonstrating good manners and an appreciation for the efforts of others, which helps to explain why chapters historically invested in a magnificent tea set both as a point of pride and as a practical piece of chapter inventory.
