Will ALPHA SIGMA TAU Grow?

Bv MRs . PARRY F . ScHIPPERs, Expansio n Chairman t M ucH has bee n written in THE ANCHOR

about expansion, much has been discussed in National Council meetings about expansion, but unless we receive the enthusiastic and practical support of our alumnae and collegiate members we will not expand. During the past year every lead has been pursued, but the invariable question asked by D eans of Women has been, "D o you have a strong alumnae organization in this vicinity which can help a new chapter?" Bound up inextricably with expansion is the need of organized alumnae in th e vicinity of a campus where A~T would like to start a new chapter. Where we have few, scattered unorganized a lumnae, the possibility of obtaining new collegiate chapters is small. But the picture need not be e.ntirely discouraging.

There are states where A~T has many organized alumnae. In these areas such a Michigan, Virginia, and Kansas to mention

THE ANCHOR

a few, why not have your alumnae chapter adopt as your project for the coming year the expansion of A~T in your state? The first step would be to get two a lumnae to visit the D eans of Women of the colleges in your area. Traveling expenses will be paid by National and a form in this i ue of THE ANCHOR (page 3) can be mail ed to me.

Week-days are be t to ee D ean , but ornetimes appointments can be made to ee them on Saturday. A report of th is visit should be ent to m e. Where the need of a new sorority on the campus is found- and v ith expa nding enrollment there are many uch places- the National and the local alumnae will join forces and work together for a strong, new chap ter of A ~T. Your orority has much to offer in the way of chara ter building, cultural program , and emphasi on good scholarship. If you can tra\ el for A~T, material will be upplied you to pre nt our orority to the D ea ns of Women . nle we can present our ororit in a fa\'orable light to coll ege authoritie b our a lumnae.

we will remain unknown in many areas where we have much to offer the college girl and where A~T can render a real service.

'As you know A~T is administered by volunteers- there are no paid offices which is an advantage in that our fees are moderate. In the face of rising costs, our fees have remained comparatively low, but if we are forced sometime in the future to employ paid help, our fees necessarily will be much higher. We have always relied on volunteer help and we hope to continue to do so- so why not help now in our expansion program? Do what you can to recommend new members, h elp organize alumnae groups in your area (Central Office can supply names of A~T in your vicinity ) and h elp organize new collegiate chapters. So-it is up to all of us whether A~T will grow la rger- or smaller!

Use form on page 3.

Every Alumna Can Help Do you know someone who will enter college next fall?

If so, send her name to National Headquarters! t WE need good wom en to bui ld an even

greater orority to help our cha pters get to know these gi rls. The future of every Alpha Sigm a Tau C ha p ter depends upon the kind and number of girls it rushes, p ledges a nd ini tiates each year. W e are in the m idst ot the season when there is m uch talk abou t young women en tering and being accep ted by colleges. You can do your chapter or some other A~T cha pter a real service by advising them of these girls who shou ld be entertain ed a nd considered as prospective m embers this fa ll.

An alumna should take pride in in troducing a young wom an to a group of A~T . In fact, it is her responsibility to see tha t our cha pters are advised of good p rospects.

The more inform a tion you can give about a cand id a te's qu ali fications the better. KnowT H E A CHO R

ing something in advance about her talents, inte rest and hobbies always makes it easier to get to know her and to decide if she will make a good m ember. ' "'e a re e pecially in terested in recei ing the names of d aughters, si ter and other rela tives who are entering college. ' e don t expect them to elect A~T ju t becau e the are relatives, but we would welcome an opportuni ty to how them A~T and what it ha to offer.

But whether you a much or little, p lea e take a few minute to let our chapter know about the prop ctive ru hee 路ou m ;-~y know. ( U se form on preceding pa ue. )
