Foundation Receives Staehle Scholarship Funds As Sisters Salute Sisterhood In keeping with the convention them e, in a true Salute Sisterhood Spirit , the Elliott Family sisters Meda Ray , Betty Gail , and Edith , saluted Carrie Washburn Staehle for her myriad contributions to soro rity by establishing th e Carrie W. Staehle Scholarship Fund. The natural Elliott sisters, who e njoyed fraternal sisterhood in Omicron Chapter at Concord College and now in Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter , presented the National Foundation with $300 to institute a scholarship fund in hon or of Carrie whose life- lo ng dedication to Alpha Sigma Tau began when she worked with Founder Effie E. Lyman and Chief Patroness Ada A. Norto n toward AET becoming a Natio nal Sorority in 1925 . Throughout the next 64 years Carrie became a positive influe nce in th e lives of hundreds of AET sisters as well as he r many students because she truly believed in the "permanen ce and love lin ess of the ideals" of Alpha Sigma Tau. You too can keep the convention them e alive a nd Salute Carrie . Both individual sisters and chapters may send donations in any amount to the National Foundation in hon or of Carrie or in recognition of o ne of their own members. When funds accumulate sufficiently to earn $500 per year in interest , the Carrie W. Staehle Scholarship will be awarded annu a lly to an AET Junior , Senior , or Alumnae majori ng in Classical or Modern Languages, having at least a "B" scholastic av e rage , and in good standing with AET . Please send your contribution for the CARRIE W . STAEHLE SCHOLARSHIP FUND to : Mrs. Lois O'Dell 222 West Tabor Road Philade lphia , PA 19120 Gracious acknowledgement will be sent to the Chapter making the donation as well as the individual being recognized . The National Fo undation thanks for your donations and the privilege of working with you and through you to perpetu ate the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau .

Alumnae BUFFALO Welcomes President Nayle In February , National President Patricia Nayle visited Sigma Chapter at Buffalo State College. Sally Wales arranged a gathering at her home on Saturday evening so alumnae could meet the president also. Contact with Sigma Chapter is constant. Marilyn Helmrath , chapter ad viser, and Norma Martin , assistant chapter adviser , attend weekly collegiate meetings , other events and also attend campus Panhellenic meetings . Sue Fry , chapter consultant , checks notebooks and materials. Several alumnae attend Sigma dinners and social events . Alumnae give a scholarship of $100 to a collegiate girl each year. Alumnae also donate baked goods or purchase items which collegiates sell for fund-raising . All collegiates are invited to Founders Day luncheon and other alumnae events. Seniors are welcomed into the alumnae chapter. Community service is high on the list of alumnae concerns. Canned goods were collected from every meeting from December to March so members could present a large donation to the needy in the area. Over 100 cans of food were collected and money donated to be used for perishable items. In March , everything was boxed and delivered to the local Loaves and Fishes Mission dining room which is sponsored by the Con cerned Ecumenical Ministry of Buffalo . The chapter donated over $125 to the needy men , women and children in the area with the food . Donations were also made to the Buffalo News "Neediest Fund ." Fund-raising activities provide fun and companionship to members . Convention expenses were provided by a garage sale. A White Elephant sale , 50-50 club at meetings and raffles at meetings helped social service . Hostesses also donate food at meetings . Members pay $1 and the money went into the treasury for convention expenses. Dorothea Porter and Lucille Peterson are delegate and alternate to Buffalo City Panhellenic and attend all meetings . Dorothea is recording secretary this year . Panhellenic held an evening program with a speaker from the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for scholarships for high school girls who will enter local colleges in the fall. The luncheon and meeting in January at the Carriage House Restaurant served to welcome many sisters who cannot attend evening meetings . The next month ,

Mrs . Joan Redman from "The Basket Tree" showed many beautiful baskets made from materials found in nature and demonstrated several ways of creating baskets . Members then tried a bit of weaving , twisting and braiding on their own . April's luncheon and meeting was held at the Lancaster Country Club . Three graduating seniors from Sigma Chapter were initiated into the alumnae chapter; Louise Ball , Stacey Branca and Pamela Wales . Varying meetings , having some at night and some on Saturdays, helps to bring out more members . The chapter also has a calling committee that calls each member after their card arrives in the mail to check on reservations and set up car pools . It is better to go with a friend or two than to go to meetings alone . Alumnae are fortunate to have a collegiate chapter to work with and to help Buffalo Alumnae grow as they join after graduation. -Norma Martin
SOUTHERN COLORADO Regroups The Southern Colorado Alumnae Chapter got a slow start on activities this past season . After a hiatus of almost a year, alumnae met in February for a salad luncheon at the home of Grace Riester to regroup . Members were happy to welcome Mary Ann Rinehart from Beta Eta Chapter. Time was spent recounting past history , activities and interests for her . In April , the five faithful few , Mary Taber , Barbara Smith , Virginia Kerin and
Grace Riester dined at the Pampered Palate in historical Old Colorado City for a good time of fellowship and to discuss summer plans . The chapter is planning more good times together . -Grace Waller Riester
DALLAS-FORT WORTH Is New Alumnae in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex have been meeting for more than a year to organize a new alumnae chapter. The first official meeting was in June , 1987 , when a petition was sent to the National Council to become an alumnae chapter . Since that time , monthly meetings were held trying to contact the many Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae in the area . At a special meeting in August , 1987 , the group enjoyed tea at a local hotel. As a social service project , members supplied a local night shelter with paper and stamped envelopes so that homeless people may keep in touch with friends and relatives . Summer plans included a cookout at the home of Bette Lewis in Fort Worth in June , the National Convention for five members in July , and a goodbye to Diana Bradley in August. Diana was the first to have the idea of starting a chapter. As she left for the Kansas City area , the chapter expects her to continue her alumnae activities there . Alumnae living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are invited to join the new chapter and join in the excitement of this new start . -Susan Smith

Kathy Pulice Baecker was instructor for wall decor items , Elaine Kaminski Kensicki and Lorraine Kaminski Karasinski called upon their mother's skills and supplies for instruction in sweat shirt painting . Nadia Sawka Maddens' zebra was most striking. In January , Mary Ellen Babcock entertained alumnae with an English High Tea , a veritable dinner with sausage rolls , meat pies , scones , orange bread and much more . Mary Ellen previously surprised members with a Wassail Feast. Sterling Inn in Sterling Heights was the site of the annual Mother-Daughter luncheon on May 7 .

tee members Lorraine Karasinski and Debra Kanigowski Yuhas , arranged invitations , name tags , programs and favors . Tau Love in the form of Hershey kisses were dessert treats . February weather usually brings big storms to Michigan . Instead of a February dinner out , members this year planned a dinner in. Predictably , the storm came , the dinner cancelled andrescheduled in June . A welcome addition to Detroit Alumnae Chapter is Emily Ashby Mcintire , national historian , who moved to the Detroit metropolitan area from Tennessee . Special Olympics Summer Games was again the local social service project and Kathy Baecker , Christine Swafford Pulice and Elaine Kaminski Kensicki again assisted in the games . Kathy recruited family members to round out the contingent. A larger donation of money to support the program was also provided. In creased contributions were also sent to Pine Mountain , The Detroit Institute of Children-Electronic Limbs Research and Turning Point for Abused Women and Children as part of the participation in community activities. Selling Entertainment '88 and Go ld spree coupon books is such a profitable fund raising activity that none other is currently considered. Members who cannot participate have been generous in contributing an extra donation to support social service projects and take care of the increased mailing costs. Detroit Alumnae Chapter was in this way not needed to assess local dues for many years. Kathy Baecker is always the top salesperson in this venture so she has first choice in deciding the charity to which some of the proceeds are given . Kathy is also alumnae liaison for the chapter and was busy communicating with collegiate chapters in Alpha district. Cards were sent at Christmas , Valen-

ERIE Is Spunky The new year brought many activities for the small but spunky Erie Alumnae . The five jumped into spring with a Mary Kay party at the home of Chrissy Gawes for the February meeting. Fun was had in creating new looks and planning for the rest of the year. Several traveled to Edinboro in early March to celebrate Alpha Tau's local Founders Day . It is always a pleasant visit since the chapter is growing by leaps and bounds . The sisters hosted a covered dish dinner for pin pledging and a rededication ceremony to finish the day. One goal this year was to become more involved with Alpha Tau . The March meeting was at the office of Dr . Hammond who discussed " Healthy Back , Healthy Body" and explained chiropractics . Members left with a discount coupon for the first visit. April brought a whirlwind of events . Alumnae again traveled to Edinboro to view the Pine Mountain slide presentation for social service credit. The program enlightened all of us and made us more aware of where the projects and money actually go . Alumnae had saved a large e nvelope of Campbell soup labels and sent them to Pine Mountain for Rev. Boggs' project. The April meeting was at St. Vincent's Women 's Center to attend an informative seminar on self breast exams and breast cancer. The local social service project was also in April to assist the Special Olympic swim meet for Erie County . Members acted as timers and "huggers ." We have helped these special people in the past and each time it is a rewarding experience. All in all, it was a very healthy and active spring semester for Erie Alumnae Chapter .
A record of activities of the Fort Wayne Alumnae Chapter is maintained in the scrapbook which is updated every two years . The delegate to convention takes it for display and award competition . Among the items included this year was information about the Founders Day dinner on November 9 at the Casa D'Angelo , the Fort Wayne Alumnae Panhellenic luncheon in the spring , the contribution to the Fort Wayne Alumnae Panhellenic Scholarship Fund and the silent auction which benefited Pine Mountain. For the social service project , the chapter collected stamps for the office of the Day Break , a children's center for abused children . -Cynthia McCrory

INDIANAPOLIS Turns Green for Lutherwood Th e Indianap olis Area Alumnae Chapter celebrated Christmas with a party and gift exchange at the home of Pam Legg . Even though this is an extremely busy time of year for everyone , the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau found time to volunteer their services, along with the other sororities in Indianapolis , at the Panhellenic .Gift Wrap held each year for charity. Pam Method Legg is recording secretary for Indianapolis Panhellenic . Meetings during the spring months centered mostly around making prepa-

Alumnae rations for convention . Country Store items, scrapbook, and award entries were all readied for the trip to New Orleans . The excitement and anticipation of convention was higher and higher . During March , members took time out to host a St. Patrick's Party for the girls at Lutherwood Home , which is the social service project . After a little historical background on St. Patrick , the girls participated in a "dress the leprechaun" contest. It's amazing the imagination these kids have! The final touch was green punch and cookies. The chapter went from Ireland to Austria , as Velma Williams presented a slide tour of the Blue Danube at the April meeting . Last fall , Velma and some of her friends traveled through Bulgaria, Rumania , Hungary , Austria and Germany via a boat cruise on the Danube River. Beautiful scenery, exotic castles and quaint villages highlighted the photos from her trip . Velma shared her experiences from the trip as well as the history associated with the places visited . As thoughts turned to spring and warmer weather , the ladies in Indianapolis also prepared for the annual spring luncheon the first Saturday in May . As in years past , Muncie and Ft. Wayne chapters have been invited to join and share some of their chapter news . The Cork at the Crossing Restaurant provided excellent food and a good atmosphere , but the real appeal of the luncheon was the opportunity to continue to experience the sisterhood of Alpha Sigma Tau . - Barbara Heeb
LEHIGH VALLEY Is Star Struck In October , alumnae Lois Walters taught the sisters how to make paper Moravian stars , the traditional symbol of the nearby Moravian settlement in Bethlehem , Pennsylvania . It was a true test to see just how talented the sisters are when it comes to intricate detail. The paper stars make lovely Christmas ornaments . The Christmas celebration was a time to exchange ornaments and festive cookies with sisters , as well as to donate non -perishable food to the needy people in the Lehigh Valley. Other meeting events included Founders Day which was celebrated at a dinner at Widow Brown 's Inn , a wonderful place to look at the past; the annual cocktail party held in March which in cluded husbands or beaus and participation in the May fund raising auction to support public broadcasting . Member Jane Koneski treated the chapter to manicures with products she demon -

NORFOLK Continues Sorority Exchange Continuing the Tidewater Alumnae Panhellenic tradition of an annual sorority exchange, Norfolk Alumnae Chapter was the guest of Alpha Omicron Pi in January . As always , this was a special opportunity to share , exchange ideas and become acquainted with another sorority. These meetings are always informative and a good way to make new Greek friends . This year was one of the best ever , a total of forty alumnae attended! As an ice breaker , each AST sister was asked to select a single mitten from a sack passed around the room . Each mitten's mate was held by an AOTI . As a get to know each other game , participants reunited mitten pairs and spent a while chatting with the partner Greek sister. They talked about the most embarrassing moment of collegiate days! Again this year, AST was asked to make calligraphy name tags for Panhellenic's fashion show and luncheon . At the home of Bonnie Manley , the task was completed . Alumnae enjoy the project night get-togethers and there is always a great turnout. The chore was pulled together and finished in record time. The luncheon was held at Virginia Beach's Holiday Inn Executive Center. AST was the largest group represented with 26 members and guests. The chapter also furnished a door prize. Although it was a cold and blustery March day , everyone enjoyed seeing all the latest spring fashions and picked up fashion tips and ideas from the boutique which furnished the outfits . As always , Panhellenic sorority members served as models and all participants had a grand time . The December Christmas social was held at Gail Guthrie's home . During the course of the evening, a silent auction raised $91.50 for future social service projects . The menu followed an Italian theme , with the sisters making their fa vorite pasta entrees and all the trimmings for a different Christmas party fare . Throughout the year, periodic raffles are held to raise funds for social service projects. At Easter. the sisters each con tributed food items to make a food basket for the needy family that had been adopted at Christmas . When all the items were collected , Betsy Russ , social service chairman, completed the basket by purchasing a turkey and delivering the makings of the holiday meal to the
family . In April , Diane Forrest hosted the an nual meeting . The slate of officers for 1988-89 was installed at the May meeting . The remainder of April's meeting was spent in stencilling gift and goodie bags to be sold at the convention 's Country Store . Collegiate chapters profit from the in terest of Norfolk Alumnae Chapter . This year . the chapter offered a scholarship to collegiates at Psi , Alpha Lambda , Beta Mu and Zeta Tau . Alumnae met in the home of Paulette Crawford in February and heard a speaker from Citizens Against Crime . She presented an informative program entitled "Keeping Kids Safe ," a topic of great concern to all as many members have little ones to care for and watch over. Everyon e benefited from the helpful safety tips which they could share with friend s. - Paulette Crawford
PHILADELPHIA Celebrates 50 Years of Activity On Saturday , May 7 , Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter held an informal celebration of its 50th Anniversary . Charter members were present to tell of the early history of the chapter and memorabilia was displayed. National Founders Day was celebrated with a luncheon at City Tavern , a recreation of an early colonial inn where the signers of the Declaration of Independence and members of the later Constitutional Convention often met. The luncheon site also provided the opportunity to visit Carpenters Hall and the viewing of the "Miracle at Philadelphia" exhibit. Another visit was made in February to the Masonic Temple which offered many different styles of architecture in its meeting rooms . Service projects always offer fun and profits. Used handbags and wallets were gathered for the residents of Haverford State Hospital and 50 Easter table favors were made for them . An annual donation was sent to Pine Mountain and money was also sent to a Mexican food project. Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter also participated in the raffle that Panhellenic held for the benefit of their Scholarship Fund . Two members also attended the Panhellenic luncheon . - Betty Scheerbaum Allison Uhlig

Entertaining, educational , economical was the judgment of members at the silk and fresh flower arrangement demonstration. Another delight was the program given by the first year piano students of a member. This was the first performance for them before a group. The year was complete when a family picnic was held in early summer at a farm home of a member.
NORTHERN VIRGINIA Promotes Collegiate Contacts The Sweetheart brunch was held at Charley's Place in McLean on Sunday , February 21. Special guests that day were four members of Gamma Zeta Colony at Frostburg State University in Maryland . Several alumnae attended the chapter installation on April 30. Tablecloths were sent to Gamma Epsilon and Gamma Zeta chapters upon their installation in keeping with a chapter tradition of giving gifts to new collegiate chapters. Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter also sent letters to all collegiate chapters wishing the graduating seniors well and inviting them to contact the alumnae chapter if their careers bring them to the Washington D.C . area . All the collegiate chapters within a four -hour drive from the D.C. area were invited to the collegiatealumnae picnic held in June . Money raised this year went to send chapter delegate , Edith Elliott , to convention in New Orleans . Wrapping paper was sold and a silent auction held on a mystery prize . The mystery - an AST

YPSILANTI-ANN ARBOR Makes '88 Great The New Year has begun here in Michigan with a flurry . Since the December initiation of the fall pledges, the collegiates and the alumnae have been cooperatively engaged in a whirlwind of sorority activities . Enthusiasm has been high as both chapters stay in constant contact with one another . In February Sally Pearson invited both alumnae and collegiate sisters to the business meeting and fun night. Members brought their own baby pictures and shared slides that were recently taken of the collegiate girls. They too brought slides they had taken . What a wonderful way to get to know the names and faces of 50 of the greatest gals ever to have attended Eastern Michigan University! We saw them in formal attire as well as in their muddy jeans after a Greek games day . Marcia Sullivan had us over to her home in March . Not only did several of the Alpha girls attend , but also two new alumnae sisters joined us that evening . Since we have been invited to the collegiate 's business meetings, many alumnae have met the girls o n Sunday afternoon to lend our support and advice when needed , as well as attending informal and formal rush activities . One of the highlights was the Spring "Lock-In ." This was held on a Friday and all those in attendance stayed overnight at the sorority house . Several skits were performed by the pledges , Diana Mihaiu , alumna , distributed song sheets and brought her tapes and all practiced a song fest , and then had a feast on the cannolis she brought , too . Also we participated in a presentation for safety with a guest speaker from The Citizens Against Crime Organization . Although most of the social service projects were done in the fall , alumnae contin ue to keep in contact through the chair person of other possible needs areas. This year members p urchased and wrapped 30 books for Focus Hope-Gifts of Reading Program to be distributed to children under the age of seven . Pine Mo untain Settle me nt School

This was extra special as we proudly initiated the following girls into the ranks of alumnae : Adrianne Esposito , Aimee Horvath , Claudie Kuras , Beth Levy , Kathy Pursell , Donna Sitek, Suzie Schwartz, Andrea Telek , Tracey Torrance , Stephanie Watkins , and Theresa Welch . We enjoyed the evening so much that we really didn't want to see the girls have to return to their studies for their final exams . We were also pleasantly surprised to see Marilyn Christy , one of our alumnae sisters join us that evening . Marilyn has been working on a degree that has been keeping her so busy on our meeting nights that we haven't seen her for a long time . We miss our sisters who have moved out of our state , but try to keep in contact through correspondence . Marcy Lilley has moved to West Virginia , Martha Belknap to California , Joan Meaker to Arkansas , Debbie Berger to Switzerland , Ann Gruber to Ohio. Some of these sisters returned in May to the annual Mother's Day luncheon at the Chicago Road House. This is always such a pleasant time of remembrance since it was our mothers who made it possible for us as daughters to become Alpha Sigma Tau sisters. As we gathered at Marilyn Christy's in May, we set our calendar and agenda for the fall , but not really saying goodbye for the summer. We met several times on "the links ." But "fore " now we wish all a 路 very enjoyable year. -Joyce Berg

The pace was set for Zeta chapter's spring semester with the formal rush theme of "Stepping Out with the Taus". We welcomed seven new sisters: Kim Gi o rland o , Audra Kraus e , T am m y Nagle , Nicole Schuck , Ginny Tachovsky , Lynn Wolfe and Pame la Yaroma . Four of o ur sisters were sent to Con vention as a result of o ur hard fundraising efforts . We also sold daffodils and collected door-to-door for the American Cancer S ociety . On e o f o ur sister's helped school students during a French Festival. The Zeta chapter participated in Greek Week and Greek Olympic events . During the airband competition , we performed "Wipeout". Our Yellow Rose formal was a great success and fun was had by all. We were all happy to be reunited with some alumnae. - Dana Broomell
Iota
Emporia State University The Iota chapter has made an effort to become closer with our alumnae. It began in February , when active members sent Valentine's Day cards to our form er sisters. Alumnae were invited to rush preparation meetings , which paid off when some of them helped out during rush . Once the basketball season dribbled in , Iota sisters could be fo und courtside at most home games. We also enjoyed Greek Week festivities , including volley ball . O ur involvement through Panhellenic Council was heavy. During their Blood Drive, we received the Co untess Award for the highest amount of members who donated . We exchanged pizza during a party for all sororities and attended a workshop together. Despite inclement weather , a number of alumnae returned for our Collegiate Alumnae Pot-Luck Picnic. We presented roses of appreciation to our adviser, Sally Conrad , and our ho use mother , Alice Kerwin . She will be missed after being o ur comforter and guide for three years . Summer plans included a re union weekend , then , before school, a sisterhood retreat. Five sisters attended con vention . - Marsha Dale 14
The Spring of '88 has been an exciting , if challenging , year for Sigma . Everyone knew something was in the air when the spring pledge class amounted to 12 . It became obvious that change was bound to happen . Our first try at something new was the initiation of the Mother / Daughter Brunch . Great food , great slides and great compa n y turned this one -time event into tradition . In stead of trying to sell candy or jewlery this yea r, we created and sold uniqu e, hand -pain ted T-shirts . Another success . Other more -than -memorable eve nts that took place were Sisters Night , In itiation , Greek Games and the Banquet. Sisters Nights began in the normal fashion : food-fun - friends throughout the evening . Each sister had switched identities with another sister and we all had quite a laugh deciding who was who. Everybody agrees that the night was one big "Crash ." Greek Games could be described by one and all as a contin uous blast. Our Inter Greek Association plann ed events to take place all week. This, plus our banquet being the night before the final events proved to be challenging, and produced interesting results. Somehow we managed to take second place overall. We chose o ur offi cers for 1988 - 89 , headed by the energetic duo of Susan Allen and Debbie Nelson , president and vice -pre sid ent (respectively) . Special honors go out to Paulette Tota for being named sister of the year , and Lisa Mari ne llo for winning Top Tau . T o our graduating senio rs : Lena Faulkner , Lo uise Ball, Julie Braun and Pame la Wales , we wish you the best of luck in the years to come . We hope you keep close the memories as we surely will . But to our sisters we need never say "good-bye" -but farewell - for we will see yo u again. - Kimberly Gerber
Zeta Tau
Longwood College Zeta Tau nearly tripled our membership through rush efforts . After a spring rush with its theme "Win , Lose or Tau", an ope n rush was held , bringing a total of 13 pledges . Winning the Sister hood Award for the second consecutive year at the Greek Banq uet topped the semester. We also
enjoyed the company of fellow Greeks during Greek Week '88 . We pulled our way into first place in the Tug O 'War competition . With the help of Alpha Phi Omega , we raised $330 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Most of our other fundraisers were held in order to sponsor our panhellenic representative to attend convention . Zeta Tau was also active spring semester in campus athletics . Basketball and volleyball were on the list to be tested . We also entered the Ambassador's Annual Ooze ball Tournament. Our college's Founder's Day was held the same weekend as our annual senior picnic , making it more enticing for alumnae to return to campus . We are grateful for the contributions they have made to our Chapter Room Carpeting Fund . As usual , our week in Nags Head provided an excellent summer escape . - Melissa Croumie
Phi
S outheastern Louisiana University Phi chapter returned to Southeastern prepared for rush . We initiated six new girls in February : Leslie Anderson , Crystal Buie , Stephanie Hano , Melissa Knight , Ronda Marbry and Julie Mattei. Dee Dee Dunaway and Rayne Carr are pledge picked up during open rush . Our date party , "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous ," was held mid -March . We all had a fun time dressing up as our favorite person . Phi also enjoyed two mixers with Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Tau Delta . During our annual Rock-a-thon , we collected 400 for the Pine Mountain Settlement School. Our congratulations goes to sister Judi Lambert , Top Tau , Molly Paris , Sweetheart , and Misty Thomas , Order of Omega . Blair Davis , active in Kappa Alpha , is our new Beau . Terry Dudley came to visit us after the spring holidays , bringing lots of new ideas for our chapter. Our Yellow Rose Formal was a huge success . Our new executive board was presented , with President Judi Lambert and Vice President Gwen Kurtz in the helm . Convention dominates our ummer plans . Needless to say , we were e cited to greet ister from other chapter in our hometown . - hri ti H inill

The Pretty Legs Contest fea tured a special twist, as Alpha Gamma was well represented by a sister's beau . We also participated in the Win, Lose or Draw Contest. Panhellenic involvement included the campaign for Responsible Drinking Around the World . We displayed our posters across campus . Alpha Gamma also collected for the American Heart Association . We have appointed a new officer of Alumnae Liasison , Kim Ramsey , to locate our alums. An Alumnae Tea was held for local alumnae .

With the 112 sisters that make up the Psi chapter, there is bound to be diversity. But it ranks second to our obviously strong bonds of sisterhood , which surface during our campus lives. As philanthropists , we worked to provide funding for the Pine Mountain Settlement School. There are sisters who gave during the campus blood drive . Before Easter , we were busy coloring eggs for an egg hunt for local children In addition to these activities , the Psi sister also held jobs , school government positions and club offices . More than one-third of the sorority made the Dean's List. We are all very proud of Christine Mitchell , JMU co-valedictorian . Taking advantage of the mountains , we held a sister-weekend retreat. Our three theme events included a Casino Night , a Nuclear Fallout party and our annual Halloween party with the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Our successful alumnae weekend was incorporated into the Panhellenic-spon sored Greek Week . We supported all Greek activities , and with the help of our district president, Karen Sloan , increased our functions for sisters . Our most enjoyable , and successful , activity was Greek Sing. To a 50s motif, we sang and danced to "Rockin Robin" and "Rock Aro und the Clock". We ended the show with a chill-sending finale when we sang a chorus of "We Go Together . . . shanna nanna nanna nanna do wap do wap ." - Wend y Hauenstein
This year's Special Olympics was extra special for Alpha Gamma at Henderson State . Thousands of special individuals from across Arkansas came to participate in activities ranging from throwing a softball to running a mile relay. Many sisters assisted in the games. Spring Rush brought five new pledges , after a party which rang in the "New Year. " Everyone dressed formally , donning festive party hats. Hershey kisses were passed out at midnight and sisters sang their own version of "Alude Lang Syne. " Despite some tough competition , Alpha Gamma rebounded for third place in intramura l basketball. Softball came next, and a surprising amo unt of talent led the team to an overall record of 4 -2 .

Radford University Spring semester was very busy for Alpha Lambda . After returning from Christmas break , we were almost immediately caught up in formal rush . With "Gold Rush" as our theme , the sisters dressed as cowgirls , cowboys and Mexicans . Our new pledges became "24 Tau-tally Awesome Taus". Before rush began , a lock-in was held to help us to prepare for rush , catch up on upcoming events and , most importantly , strengthen our bonds of sisterhood . We participated in team-building games , allowing us to trust among ourselves and grow stronger as sisters . During spring semester we participated in many intramural sports including basketball , volleyball and softball . We also held a number of mixers with other campus fraternities . In addition , we were involved in social service and fundraising projects . They included the annual MDA Superdance , Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Bowl-A-Thon with Tau Kappa Epsilon and Meals on Wheels . Our annual Sweethearts Banquet was held at the Holiday Inn in Roanoke , VA . We crowned Kim Fulghum and Robin Hachney as Banquet Queen and Princess . Toward the end of the semester , we inducted new officers: Kim Fulghum , President ; Cheryl Quast , vice president ; Donna Macerollo , recording secretary; Diana Zurshmeide, pledge mistress ; Carrie Arn old , rush chairperson ; Merrill Slaven , alumnae secretary; Kelly Jarvis , treasurer and Tracy Webb , Editor.

Alpha Omicron
Clarion University of Pennsylvania Alpha Omicron developed an ex tremely memorable campaign for spring rush . The parties included a mock election which featured an Alpha Sigma Tau sister as the number one candidate . Our rush won by a landslide , as we picked up 16 pledges . Currently , we are the largest sorority on camp us. Our competition with seven other sororities netted us the Greek Week title . Many alumnae returned to strengthen our efforts . Greek Carnival was held for the first time during an April weekend . It was deemed a success and we look forwa rd to its becoming an annual event. Alpha Omicron not only helped during the Blood Drive but also collected clothing for local needy families . At the Yellow Rose formal , sisters enjoyed being together and sharing the secrets of sisterhood . We elected a new Tau Tiger and man of the year. Alumnae received newsletters and we tried o ur skills at intramural volleyball and soccer. We look forward to an increased sense of close sisterhood when we move into a new suite next year. -Lori Ann Rider
Alpha Pi
Slippery Rock University We started out the Spring semester eager for informal rush . We held a "Get on the Ball with AST" theme party . The rushees must have had an excellent time because we were able to add six outstanding pledges to our group . Our pledges were very busy and worked hard on fundraisers . They got to make fun of the sisters by giving us awards for wacky , crazy things we've done , during Comedy Night. The pledges gave us a date party at our house . Besides the meeting and our fundraisers , we found time for a hair show at a local salon , a Mary Kay Cosmetic show and a retreat , which all went off without a hitch . One of the most adventurous things was a road trip to Eastern Michigan University , which is in Ypsilanti , to visit the sisters and seed the place where we were founded. We had an excellent time with

the sisters and learned a lot of new songs . A special thanks to the Alpha chapter for a memorable weekend . After being bumped from our winning streak in Greek Sing and in last place during Greek Week, we got our act together and ended up as co-champs with a fellow sorority . The University tells us that we made the greatest comeback in Greek Week history . As the semester came to a close we studied for our finals , but made time for Senior Send Off. - Helen Close
Alpha Sigma
Northeast Missouri State University Twenty-eight al umnae made the trek back to our alma mater to help Alpha Sigma celebrate our 20th anniversary . Travelling from as far as Maryland , sisters enjoyed the weekend , which pulled us closer together . The schedule of events included an open house , informal party, rededication ceremony , and formal banquet and dance . Numerous chapter awards were given , as well as yellow rose corsages to seven graduating seniors. Fundraising took on a new twist with our door-to-door egg sale . After receiving a donation .of one egg , sisters then sold the egg after explaining the Pine Mountain Settlement School. This process was repeated all afternoon . Some sisters travelled to Kentucky to visit the school and deliver the donation. During our spring rush party "Alpha Sigma Tau Goes Broadway", we dressed in black and white and performed a skit and showed slides . Other parties were " Anchors Away" and " Games
Night". We held the office of president of the Panhellenic Council and gained two ad ditional rooms in Brewer Hall . We have many new programs to look forward to in the fall , in areas such as pledging , scholarship and social services . - Lori Goehl
Alpha Tau
Edinboro University Alpha Tau danced our way into third place overall during Greek Week . Sister Cyndi Eddy and partner Jeff Wieble took first place in the couples dance event and sister Pam Hieple earned second in the singles. We welcomed 11 pledges this spring. Our successful rush party themes were "Lose , Win or AST" and "AST Scramble ," based on games. We congratulated pledges with a progressive dinner. Our involvement in the Panhellenic Council grew this year , thanks to our two sisters Susan Rusnak and Julie Knapp , who are on the executive board. Alpha Tau helped with Panhel's blood drive and a dance-a-thon. Sister Kotene Cochran danced the entire 30 hours for multiple sclerosis . During Greek Sing, we placed third with a medley from "The Wiz". Our alumnae came to support us , and brought a slide show of the Pine Mountain Settlement School to one of our meetings. A sister weekend was planned during June . -Julia Knapp

Collegians growing, and we are beginning to be recognized as a strong organization on the West Chester campus. During Greek Awards, we were given the New Membership Development Award . Our 22 sisters successfully brought in 11 pledges during our spring rush week. Under the theme of "Anchors Away with AST" we sang songs and served rootbeer floats . A penny drive was held to benefit the Pine Mountain Settlement School. We also staffed a blackjack booth during the university's first Spring Carnival , where proceeds went to United Way . During Greek Week, the Panhellenic Council sponsored a sexual harassment seminar. Fun was had as well , as we placed first in the banner contest. The highlight was our victory in Greek Sing for the second consecutive year. Greek Games followed , with a picnic , softball , powder-puff football and volleyball. In January, our chapter began an alumnae newsletter. Hopeful summer plans included a weekend retreat to help us get organized for fall rush . It will be informal next year, with formal rush scheduled for the spring. -Kimberly Taylor
Beta Delta
Duquesne University The Beta Delta chapter broke in the new year with a wonderful visit from Linda Hollingshead Bruce , our district president. Since she had never been to Pittsburgh , we made sure she saw the beauty of our city . Our chapter initiated 16 sisters during the visit. We would like to thank her for all her help . We elected new officers and are especially proud of Gina Clair , our Panhellenic delegate , who is now president of the Panhellenic Council at Duquesne. The themes of our rush parties were "Follow Your Heart to AST", "Winterwonderland" and "Spuds MackenzieThis Spuds for You ". A formal was held
in March to welcome Janet Dunham , Jennifer Graff , Kathleen Kress , Jennifer Paris and Sherri Schultz . The pledge class collected canned food to donate in order to help rescue President Lauralee Rzeszotarski during a Canned for Ransom activity planned by service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. They also initiated a pledge/ sister switch day that turned the events for the day around . For Greek Sing this year , we dressed in red , white and blue and sang and danced to " (They're Coming to) America," " Living in the U .S . A ." and "R.O .C.K . in the U.S .A." Beta Delta also increased our appreciation of the world around us . We attend ed the 6th Annual International Students Night. We also visited Les Idees Gallery in our student union and saw the beautiful paintings of Vincent Carducci. In conjunction with the Leukemia Society , we held a Bachelor Raffle . One of the gorgeous men was Sweetheart Michael Burger . We sold tickets for one dollar and picked the lucky girl to go out to dinner with the man of her choice. We ended the year with the Yellow Rose Ball. It was a special way to say good-bye to seniors Victoria King , Tamara Stanchik , Michele Arnold and Cynthia Bunty .

Shippensburg University Spring '88 brought much change in the rush season for Beta Epsilon Rush chairperson Kristen Ulshafer helped us to make a smooth transition from our previous rush program to the newly established Panhellenic system . Our rushes included themes such as
Alpha Tau 1988 Spring pledge class .
THE ANCHOR/Falll988
"20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea ," "Year of the Dragon -the Chinese New Year ," and an Italian festival. We are proud to welcome 12 new sisters: Leslie Bowles , Meg Delaney , Michel e Dougherty , Aimee Jo Hann , Kim Houck , Claudine DiBona , Lisa Mast , Danielle Durda , Missy Stauffer , Diane Graeff , Diane Thorpe and LeighAnn Weakland . This spring we also held many social activities to entertain the sisters at Shippensburg thanks to our social chairperson , Diana Smith . We kept active with three mixers , a Valentine date party and a picnic date party . And of course , our formal , held at the Treadway in Lancaster , was a great success. Congratulations Amy Miller as our Top Tau and to Maria Vernitsky for winning the sorority's Lisa Ziegler award . Greek Week proved exciting as always with some new events as well as the traditional ones . Beta Epsilon captured the most points in the Variety Show and proved our spirit with 100 percent of our sisters participating in the blood drive . Karen Hock did a fantastic job in organ izing our chapter's participation . The sisters kept athletically involved the rest of the semester with intramural basketball and volleyball. - Kelly Miksa
Beta Zeta
University of Alabama at Birmingham Webster describes winter as a period of inactivity or decay. Which is true if you're a tree , but not if you're Tau . The Winter Quarter kicked off what is typically one of the busiest times for the Beta Zeta Chapter . Our first social event of the season was a Graffi-T mixer with Delta Sigma Phi . We had no sooner autographed our last Delta Sig when Homecoming rolled around . As usual Homecoming events left us breathless from constant activity . It was the Beta Zeta's job to decorate the University Center and assist in Noonday Events . Our Vice-President , Cynthis Laken , did a great job on the Homecoming Committee and in organizing our efforts to do these tasks . We had great fun competing with other cam pus organizations throughout the week , and for our efforts our homecoming banner , which was displayed at the game , too k Third Place . We barely had time to recuperate from Homecoming when it came time for Informal Rush . For the first time we implemented an Informal Rush Week . Through this Rush Week and one on one rush , we pledged a total of nine

Collegians sports (football , basketball and softball) and placed third during Greek Week . Our strong presence on campus this year improved our rushing, and the rush committee provided innovative ideas that made girls take a second look at Alpha Sigma Tau . The rush parties had creative themes: "It's a Children's World" to a downshome country theme complete with junk band and "red beans and rice". The closeness between the members was evident and our pledge classes grew in the true spirit. Our sorority is in the limelight for all the right reasons , thanks to dedication , spirit and genuine affection among the members as friends and sisters . -Mary Lou Lucio Beta Zeta 's looking their best , at the Emerald Ball.
young women . These pledges and some collegians volunteered their time (and their aching feet) to the Civiettes Mall Ball Fundraiser . For an entire evening these young women literally walking advertisements for different businesses . Dressed in costumes ranging from a bunch of grapes to Cleopatra to a flower trellis , these young women walked miles to assist the Civiettes in raising money for the MaySimpson Cerebral Palsy Center. Other social service activities included a phonea-then for the Arthritis Foundation and a ticket sale to the Macy Day Celebration for the benefit of Cerebral Palsy . The end of March we elected new officers. Our congratulations to these young women ; we know that they will accomplish many great things for the Beta Zeta chapter during their terms of office. 路 April brought us Mixers with Tau Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Tau Omega . The mixer with TKE was our first with them in a long while, and they treated us in style . Each Tau was presented a yellow rose as we passed through the red doors of the TKE house . They then spent the rest of the evening impressing us with their winning ways and good times . The ATO mixer, our final mixer of the year , was Tauhiti . The ATO's are a great group of young men . April was Greek Week which in turn brought us lots of fun and little time to study . Activities included Greek Awards Reception, All-Greek party , a Chariot Parade and the Greek Games . We were recognized as the most improved sorori路 ty , and received third place in sorority overall standing . We also received second place in Greek games , and third place in overall Greek Week competition .

Even though Greek Week wore us out physically , our spirits were still high . Our Spring Formal was the next weekend . We had chosen Emerald Ball as our theme . Our Formal chair and co-chair , Tammy Terrell and Sasha Smith , and their committee , put together a wonderful evening . "There are many affairs . . . but few classics." And this one was truly a classic . Our year was capped off by the initiation of our Spring pledges . We want to congratulate them on a successful pledgeship and wish them joy and happiness as fully initiated sisters . We hope that all of the other chapters of Alpha Sigma Tau were able to end their year on a similar positive note . -Melissa Cox
Beta Theta
St. Mary's University Our sorority , though small in number , has grown larger where it counts . . . in the heart of the members . We lost a lot of girls due to graduation , but our new members have a strong desire to make Beta Theta an active , yet close-knit sorority . One of our most noteworthy accomplishments was receiving Most Active Social Service Organization at St. Mary's University. The women of Beta Theta chapter gave their time to many community projects , charities and campus activities. Some of these charities included : a Halloween party for the children at Ronald McDonald House , Thanksgiving food basket , Walk America for the March of Dimes and our annual Easter party for children at a neighborhood church . We also participated in Intramural
Beta Iota
Millersville University Beta Iota began the spring semester with formal rush . Our first party was a get-acquainted tea and all the sisters wore letters . The second tea was called " Under the Big Top with the Taus", where sisters played the roles of circus characters and presented different aspects of Alpha Sigma Tau life . Our third tea was formal. Seven enthusiastic sisters joined us : Corlina Grammes , Alice Hoover , Melissa Kraft , Kris Kuhn , Fawn Neece , Angela Renner and Cindy Silverman . The following week we had an informal tea , receiving two more exciting sisters : Kelly Butterworth and Stacie Templin . Our service project was our most noteworthy event. Our first bowl-a-thon with Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity benefitted "The Ronald McDonald House" of Hershey , PA . We bowled four games each and collected sponsors. We raised approximately 2 ,000 , thanks to our chairperson , Susan Morgan. Greek Week was held the week of March 21. Each day sororities and fraternities participated in different events such as keg toss , pie-eating contest , dress exchange , "Win , Lose or Draw" , chariot races , and " Anything Goes Day". Beta Iota proudly placed third in the competition . All the Greek organizations united with much enthusiasm during Greek Week . On April 22 the sisters met together for a camping trip , and everyone had a great time! The spring formal was April 29 .

Beta Upsilon
New Jersey Institute of Technology Beta Upsilon attended a lecture on hazing sponsored by the Interfraternity / Sorority Council.

Epsilon
May 3 , 1987 Gamma Epsilon Colony was Pin Pledged . Th ey wanted to be Alpha Sigma Tau pledges before they left campus for the summer. Mary Keenan and Linda Jackson (later appointed Chapter Consultant), both of whom live in north ern N ew York , went to Potsdam University in Potsdam , New York to conduct the Ribbon Pledging and Pin Pledging ceremonies. (Neither of these alumnae had been active AST's recently , but when they found out there was to be a new AST chapter in their area, they were both eager to help! That's the kind of alum support we need and loveAST sisters who remember their vow to support Alpha Sigma Tau for all times .) Potsdam is a part of the State of New York University . There were a number of years when national sororities were not allowed at SUNY campuses. Alpha Sigma Tau is the first national sorority on this campus and joins six local sororities which have a long tradition on the campus. The women who petitioned Alpha Sigma Tau were looking for something differen t/ more in a sorority and found it in AST. Soon after returning for the fall semester in September 1987 , Anne Gruber , National Colony Adviser , visited the campus for a long weekend of training for the officers and

pledges of Gamma Epsilon Colony. Eighteen women had come back and were looking forward to rush and all th e activities necessary to be installed as a chapter. By mid -October twenty-five more women had signed bids and forty three pledges were ready to study about the history , traditions and organization of their sorority. Not only did th ey have studying to do , but reports to file and projects to complete. Fund raising is a must. Balloons were sold , a car raffl e was held as well as other functions . Some of the mon ey rais ed was used to support Pine Mountain Settleme nt School. At the time of installation Gamma Epsilo n was deep in the midst of another social service project. They were sponsoring the Red Cross Blood drive which was being held on campus. This involved recruitment of donors as well as staffing the donation site. They plan to make this an annual project. To broaden their horizons , which is the purpose of Sorority Growth and D eve lopm en t programs , the p ledges attended a performance by the campus opera group. They also heard a speaker on abortion. L earning social graces is important to all women. Colonies mu st host a social function. Since Alpha Sigma Tau is the first national on campus, a rapport has to deve lop betwe en them and the local sororities. In order to help establish that a brunch was held so the officers and repre sentatives on the Inter Sorority Council could get to know the AST sisters.
After a second visit in November , Ann e Gruber was happy to recom mend to the Director of Expansion , Jean M cNamara , that Gamma Epsilon had fulfill ed their pledge require ments and were ready for installation in January. On January 22 , 1988 , Patricia Nayle , National President ; Jean McNamara , Director of Expansion ; Carole Keily , National Secretary ; Sally Wales , Director of Alumnae ; Am y DuPree , Gamma District President and Ann e Gruber traveled together to Potsdam where they met Linda Jackson the following day . The initiation service was held in Ra ymond Hall on Saturday , Janu ary 23 , 1988 . After five hours , five alumnae and thirty-nine collegian s were new Alpha Sigma Tau sisters looki ng forward to their installation banquet that evening at Uncle Max 's. Parents , dates , campus represen tatives and other campus Greeks joined the new sisters and National representatives in celebrating the installation of Gamma Epsilon Chap ter. Gifts were given , candles were lit , songs were sung and pictures were taken . Th e end of a perfect day was th e beginning of a bright future for Alpha Sigma T aus at Potsdam University!

only fourtee n days until graduation Stacy Murphy and her fellow senior pledge sisters of Gamma Zeta Colony became full m embers o f Alph a Sigma Tau Sorority . Thirty- fi ve co lo ny m embers and Dana Shear , their C h apter Consultant and form er Lambda Phi D elta Sister , were initiated on April 30 , 1988 at the United M et h odis t Church in Frostburg, Maryland . On September 22 , 198 7 , Linda Price , Assistant Chapter Adviser at Shippensburg State College in Penn sylvania m ade th e exp ansio n presentation to the lo ca l sorority , Lambda Phi D e lta . (Lambda Ph i D e lta was found ed at Frostburg State College on November 9 , 1966 and has 350 alumnae.) It wasn 't lo ng befo re a p etitio n was signed by twenty -three wom en and th e Na tional Council accepted th e group as Gamma Zeta Colon y. Jean McNamara , Director o f Expansion ; Ann e Grub er , Nati o nal Colony Adviser ; and Carole K ei ly , National Secretary , " fresh" fro m initiating Gamma Epsilon Chapter on January 23 , arrived in Frostburg o n January 29, to Ribbon Pledge , Pin Pledge and give instruction to th e o ffi cers and pledges . Not only was that training going on on that weekend, but th e sisters w ere participating in a ca mpus ru sh w o rk sho p and having th e ir first round of winter rush parties. A s a result of that rush 14 additio nal p ledges w ere pinn ed o n February 7, 1988 .

Colonies are required to fulfill the sa m e types of projects that chapters have each semester. They must pass the Pledge Exam , so they spend many hours studying the history and traditions of Alph a Sigma Tau. Th ere are fundraising projects , social service projects , social activities and m embers hip development pro gram s. On March 4 , 1988 , A nne Gruber returned to Frostburg to see in person how well they were doing . Rep orts h ad been showing good progress toward the goal o f being initiated befo re th e end of the semester, but she had to talk to the girls to confirm her impressions . She was right! They were going to m ake it and plan s were started fo r th e big day!
It finally arrived and the Gamma Zeta Sisters were thrilled to welcome Patricia Nayle . National President; M ary Charles A shby , Director of Collegiate Chapters , Jean M cNa mara , Carole Keily . Karen Sloan. Epsilon District President ; Ann e Gruber and Lucia Bacon , President of Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter to serve as the initiation officers . The evening was reserved for cele bration . Parents , dates , and campus officials gathered at the Grantsville H oliday Inn to install Gamma Zeta as a chapter. Mary Louise Doyle , who was hon o red in 1974 as one of the Build ers o f Alpha Sigma Tau , was the ke y n o te speaker for the evening. Her remarks addressed the idea of the value of fraternal membership in developing a well rounded personality for all aspects of life . (T he text of her speech is includ ed following this article .) After re ceiving many beautiful gifts the sisters and their dates as well as their

parents and guests enjoyed the music provided by a local band for their Yellow Rose Formal. That wasn 't the end of the festivities . On Sunday afternoon the new chapter met for a springtime picnic . But that had to be the end of the fun because finals were just around the corner and there was much studying to be done! Gamma Zeta Chapter will take it's place in New Orleans and at many more conventions in the future of Alpha Sigma Tau!
Frostburg State University is located in the Western Maryland mountains in the small college town of Frostburg . The Frostburg area is noted for its coal mining history with a large amount of strip mining still being done . The university itself was first established in 1898 as a teachers college. Later in its history it added other majors and became known as Frostburg State College . But in July of 1987, with the help of the State of Maryland , it became known as Frostburg State University .

Standards and Values are Never
@ut Given by Mrs. Justin G . Doyle (Mary Louise Doyle) Theta '26 We are gathered here this evening to rejoice over the happenings of this day. Today the local sorority Lambda Phi Delta became the Gamma Zeta Chapter of the national sorority Alpha Sigma Tau. Simultaneously they became members of the National Panhellenic Conference family since our sorority is one of the 26 which make up the National Panhellenic Conference. Belonging to a national sorority is not a "right" of every college woman. It is definitely a special privilege and a distinct honor. The honor is conferred only upon those who are believed to show promise of becoming strong links in the chain of Sisterhood . Consequently it is necessary to set standards for membership. Alpha Sigma Tau is not interested in the candidate's political beliefs; her race ; her religious affiliation ; her physical beauty! We are not interested in her social background-or her economic background . We don 't care whether the parents of our members are wealthy , whether they are college graduates or whether they belong to the Greek world. But we DO care whether a prospective member is a woman of good character , stout of heart , and clean in mind and spirit. We want women who are compatible ; women who will apply themselves scholastically . Scholastic achievement is one of our primary goals . We want wom en who will do their share in serving both the college and the community - who will give of their time and labor to promote the cultural, ethical and social development of the indi-
26
vidual members of the chapter. In other words we want women who will participate ACTIVELY in the en tire sorority program and not be just names on a roster! We believe the Gamma Zetas to be just such wom en and we Alpha Sigma Taus are delighted to call them Sisters henceforth! We are living in an age of a permissive society - a social climate in which old taboos have disappeared . Some of them deserved to pass on into oblivion . HOWEVER , the permissive society in which we find ourselves today has gone to extremes. I, for one , believe there are things in human nature which were good in the past , are good now and should be preserved for the future. I believe that society MUST HAVE some ENDURING STANDARDS of CONDUCT which distinguish us from the uncivilized and undersirable inhabitants of this earth. An appreciation of the value of such standards ought to be one of the end-results of a higher education . The trouble is, however , that this appreciation doesn 't come out of a classroom. Instead , it is a product of the intimate social contacts of one student with other students of his own generation who are like-minded and oriented . If properly instructed , supervised and controlled , we think the fraternity system is one of the best means a college has for promoting this important phase of an individuals education! In these days of skepticism and cynicism it is more than ever the obligation of the fraternity system to help young men and women appreciate the country in which we live ; to restore their faith in it. The fraternity system can install in its members a regard for principles ; a
m On any campus it is extremely important that the fraternities and sororities lead the way to promoting goodwill and understanding respect for the law ; a sence of digni ty ; and a clear concept of duty! There is a saying to the effect that "rights" was born a twin - a twin with "obligations". For every right we claim we also assume an obligation! To have been a Greek during college days should make one a better person because of the experience. The rewards are not always tangible but the whole person should benefit spiritually and mentally . One should develop a fairly clear and worth philosophy of life and have benefitted from the opportunities to assume re sponsibilities and practice leadership . One's faith in God and man should have been strengthened and one should be ready to do his share to contribute to the progress of man kind . One should be a better American , a better college alumnus or alumna , a better person in all respects . To put it in a nutshell : The individual should have matured considerably and " found himself or herself" as the case may be! Well! This makes it sound as if belonging to a national fraternity or o rority is the answer to all problem ! But life is not that ea y . Merely b longing is of little value. An indi idual can be very, very succe ful in !if and never hav belong d t a fr t rFall1988 / THE AN HOR
nity or sorority. Those who reap the benefits of which I have spoken are those who are willing to carry out their individual shares of responsibilities and assignments while members of the co llegiate chapters - those who are actiue, participating mem bers of the group and not just names on a roster! Ben efits continu e to be reaped even after college when Greeks join their alumni chapters. This is when they discover that their collegiate experiences were but the tip of the iceberg : the best could be " yet to come". But this is another topic . On any campus it is extremely important that the fraternities and sororities lead the way to promoting goodwill and understanding-not only between the various Greek organizations but among all the campus-affiliated organizatio ns . If all the Greek groups were to make an hon est effort to "live" their claimed beliefs and purposes , if they were to show by their programs and actions that they are truly interested in intellectual accomplishments , in service to schoo l and country , in high standards of moral conduct- they would never have to worry about their fu tures! Sororities and fraternities must re member that their members are first members of the student body and then members of the chapter . One cannot be a good fraternity member unless he is first a loyal member of the student body . Involvement in other campus activities is to be en couraged and not limited by fraterni ty demands . Learning to understand and get a long with others who are not like-minded or oriented is part of the development of one's personality and character . The sentimental value of fraterni ties is enormous' A disproportion ate ly large numbers of Greeks return for college reunions and events than non-fraternity alumni. The colleges themselves admit that in the matter of donating and contributing to the alma mater the Greeks tend to be responsible for at least three-quarters of the funds while usually on ly 4 % of the enrollment, or thereabout. Alpha Sigma Tau believes in the value of being a national sorority and a member of the National Pan he llen ic Conference . THE ANCHOR/Fall1988

• one ton truck , approximate cost $15 ,000 , to haul lumber to and from the mill , haul supplies , hay for cattle , etc. • one fifteen passenger van , approximately $18 ,000 , to transport children to off school grounds sites . • one Comfort Station , approximately $6 ,000 , since there are no outside facilities for community people who come in for recreational activities . • one large , commercial size cooler refrigerator , approximately $2 ,500 , two "died" last summer . This is only part of the "need list" as it appeared but it gives us an excellent indication of the size of the present operation . Although collegiates travel to Pine Mountain to help paint and repair buildings and occasionally an alum may stop in while travelling by , most of us can only envision Pine Mountain from the slides shown at our Social Service meetings and what we read . Throughout history , from self-sufficient farming and the problems of the resulting isolation , to industrial coalmining and the troubles associated with rapid expansion , through depression and war, whatever the need of the day , Pine Mountain Settlement School was there with education for the community ; whether elementary , high school , adult ecology or now in working to pre nt drop -outs it has always accompanied academic ith hand crafts and ethical values .
