~--------------------------------------------~~

A farewell from The Editor Due to my husband's reassignment to West Germany this issue of The ANCHOR marks my last official publication as Editor. Like many before me , and surely those after me , I have mixed emotions on how I could have performed better and what I established as goals but was not able to accomplish . What I do feel is a sense of accomplishment and a closer feeling of sisterhood . This was precipitated by the need to perform a National AST job because I was asked-not because I was the most qualified-because I certainly was not! In retrospect I was petrified when first approached by the national staff to take the job as Editor of The ANCHOR ; I had no prior training either in graphic design or journalism . But two factors helped me to get the job done and these are the things I really want to share with you sisters in this farewell Editor's Note . The first is the need to accomplish this sorority mission. My three years as Editor have given me the chance to work for and with the National Staff, learn the many problems in coordinating an action affecting the sisters of AST and feel the deep conviction for continuing the

Corrections: In the Fall 1988 The AN CHOR issue there was an error in the convention Anchor Award . It should read , Franc es Piwowarcz yk Plachta , Sigma . Also , in the same issue , the Belle Award s were listed in years. It is not the number of years but the number of conventions attended .

love and closeness brought on by sisterhood in a sorority- no matter how much I think I am qualified or not. The second factor was the assistance I received from family , the national staff and those professionals at Maury Boyd and Shepard Poorman who spent countless hours teaching and assisting me to coordinate the publication of a magazine . To these wonderful people I extend my deepest appreciation . In closing , I would like to extend a challenge to all collegiate and alumnae chapters which will, in the end , make The ANCHOR the finest sorority publication within Panhellenic . The challenge actually will be easy to meet if chapter and alumnae officers simply apply themselves and use all the assets at their disposal. The challenge is a simple one . "MAKE YOUR CHAPTER NEWS AND PHOTOS COVER AND FEATURE ARTICLE WORTHY ." The greatest gift you sisters can give to the new editor is " DILEMMA ." Which chapter article/ news and photo should I use for the next The ANCHOR cover and feature article? They are all very good!

Stress Management M

"You often have more control over the way you feel than you think. You don 't have to feel hopeless. ''

any people associate stress with life events that make them feel worried , tense and even frightened . In fact , stress is a normal part of everyday life . Simply , it refers to your emotional and physical response to demands and events. These demands may be unwelcome , such as disease , death of a loved one , or unpaid bills ; or they may be positive , such as marriage , a new job , vacation or a new baby . "Depending on the stressor and the individual , the body reacts with a number of different changes. In threatening situations , the body may respond with an increase in the hormone , adrenaline , that readies you for fight or flight ," explains Dr. John Follansbee , MVH Clinical Program Director of Psychiatry . Your heart beats faster , breathing is heavier , you are more alert and you may perspire more . Normally, as you adjust to the stressful situation , your body returns to normal. Nature intended all of these stress responses as protection in times of life-threatening events . "However , stress is initiated by all kinds of events , life-threatening or not ," adds Dr . Follansbee . "Chronic stress Oob worries , marital problems , etc .) may result in degenerative changes if the stress continues for a long period of time and the body is constantly wound up and can 't relax ." There is no set formula for figuring out how much stress is too muchone person s stress may be another's motivation . Most of us are resilient enough to deal with the ordinary stresses of life , but too much stress all at once, or a stressful situation that is never dealt with , can lead to physical and emotional difficulti .

How To Handle Stress 7 Stress Handling Tips 1. Exercise regularly. Regular , vigorous exercise is a terrific proven way to deal with stress and tension .

2. Set priorities. Decide what is important to you and what you can set aside . There's a limit to everyone's capacity (a lot of people don't realize this!) . Don't try to do too much with the time and resources available .

''Dedde what z's important, what you can set asz'de. There 's a lz'mz't to everyone 's capacity. ''

How To Recognize Stress The first step in dealing with stress is to recognize its presence before it can do you harm . Listen to your body. Some common signs of excessive stress are appetite changes , anxiety , excessive fatigue , frequent headaches , high blood pressure , depression , boredom , stomach ailments and insomnia . If you can't uncover what is causing you anxiety , if the symptoms of being under stress don 't go away , or if you find yourself unable to work , you should consult your physician to help you identify the problem and determine the best method to deal with it. THE ANCHOR/Spring 1989

3. Look for causes and open up. It is important to recognize stress as an interaction between you and the stressor. Look at all sides when trying to identify the nature of the stress. Don't keep problems locked inside , but be selective in choosing the people with whom you share those problems . Talking things out with family, friends or a counselor can help you clarify problems. 4. Accept what you cannot change. Move on to new and more productive activities when faced with situations that are beyond your control. Remember, you can't do everything. 5 . Learn to relax. Learning to relax on a regular basis is an important part of coping with stress. If you don't know how to relax , there are people who teach these techniques . But, in any case, take time to go for a walk, read a book , soak in a hot tub-take a break from your problems. 6. Learn to say no. Don't try to be everything to everyone . Avoid overcommitment and save time for the things you like to do. 7. Work toward a positive outlook. There is usually a bright side to almost everything. And , while it is natural to look toward the dark side, we should work to see the bright side.

3 Relaxation Techniques We know that relaxation is important for managing stress , yet many of us can't or don't know how to relax . The following techniques can help you learn to relax . 1. Deep Muscle Relaxation. One of the most common reactions to stress is muscle tension . Deep muscle relaxation helps you to relax your entire body from head to toe by first tensing , then relaxing various muscle groups. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and can be done almost anywhere . First, sit or lie down and close your eyes . Then , tense your facial muscles (purse your lips , squeeze your forehead , etc .); hold for 5 seconds then relax . Move on to the neck and shoulderstense , hold , relax . Keep on doing this for all the major muscle groups -arms , back , abdominal , hips , legs , feet . By the time you're done , your muscle tension will have drained away and you'll feel revived .

2. Deep Breathing. Another reaction to stress is shallow , rapid breathing . Deep , slow breathing can actually interrupt your stress response and help you to relax . First , exhale slowly through your mouth until your lungs feel empty . Then , inhale through your nose until you begin to feel your abdomen rise . Hold for 5 seconds , then exhale and begin the cycle again . Repeat this exercise 4 - 5 times whenever you feel tense . Deep , abdominal breathing takes only a few seconds and can be done anywhere . 3. The Power of Suggestion. Another technique for relieving stress is to imagine how you want to feel. When yo u feel stressed , sit down , close your eyes and give yourself calming mental suggestions such as "My arms are light and airy , I am calm and peaceful," and so on . You often have more control over the way you feel than you think . You don't have to feel helpless . You need to accept responsibility for your own feelings.

Spot Exercises: Do They Work? here are many exercises that claim to flatten your stomach or thin your thighs. The question is , do these so-called "spot" exercises really work? The answer depends on what you expect to achieve . Spot exercises work specific muscle groups . They can help tone and strengthen muscles which can result in a firmer , more shapely appearance . "For example , if your stomach bulge is a result of deconditioned abdominal muscles and poor posture , exercises that strengthen the muscles that support the spine can help improve your posture and help you achieve a flatter-looking stomach ," explains Lynne Weir , MVH Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation . If, however , your stomach bulge is a resu lt of excess fat , don 't expect to

Music to Relieve Stress by Carolyn Sonnen, MVH Music Therapist

Music moves us aesthetically , emotionally , and physiologically. Blood pressure , heart and respiration rates, and other physical responses are known to be influenced by its vibrations . This is hardly surprising since the essence of melody , rhythm , and harmony is the creation and subsequent release of tension. Composers create sonic and emotional tension in their music that demands resolution. That is the very nature of the art form. S ince stress is relieved by letting go and letting out, it follows that music, when consciously used , can be a means of alleviating stress. Music can relieve stress by enabling us to associate ourselves with: • music that enhances happiness, self-awareness , courage and love . • music that uplifts and energizes us toward the attainment of constructive goals in our lives. • natur:'l l, unsynthesized sounds (such as piano , violin, du lcimer and other nonelectronic instruments) that help us sense how powerfully these vibrations can act as forces for good in our lives .

trim the fat away with bent-knee situps alone . Most conditioning exercises do not place sufficient oxygen demand on the heart to trigger aerobic metabolism-the process by which your body uses oxygen to burn stored body fat for energy . If you are carrying too much body fat , spot exercises will do little to reduce your overall body fat percentage . Spot exercises that strengthen and stretch specific muscle groups can help improve your appearance . But , the better balance- for weight control, cardiovascular fitness , muscular performance , and overall health and well-being -is to combine "spot" exercises with a regular program of aerobic activities . "The two are mutually beneficial-you'll feel and look better ," says Weir.

Humor Is Good Medicine by Judy Ehle , RN

esearch into the effects of humor on health have been carried out for many years . Our suspicions that laughter might do more than just make us feel good momentarily have been substantiated. We now know that humor has both physiological and psychological aspects. Physiologically , humor effects the respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskelehtal and neurological systems . It increases the respiratory rate and the oxygen content of the blood , loosens secretions and is fre quently followed by a deep clearing cough . The heart rate increases with the laugh but then goes below the base line allowing the heart to rest. Muscles relax and tension reduces naturally . Recent studies have shown that during a hearty laugh , the brain releases endorphins which are the body's own natural pain reducers . Psychological effects of humor include : providing an escape outlet,

elevating one's mood , reducing depression , opening communication , easing embarrassing situations and providing common experiences that can draw two people closer together. Laughter brightens a person's day and creates a pleasant framework to begin the task of getting better . Following are some suggestions for making use of laughter to make your day brighter and to brighten the day of someone you care about who is sick : • Instead of a traditional hospital gift , give a funny book or toy . • Relate funny stories about what happened to you instead of always talking about how your sick friend feels . • When you hear a good joke , pass it along . We only remember 1% of the jokes we hear. so you may want to write them down . Spring 1989 / THE ANCHOR

N PC Archives Collection In 1987 the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation honored National Panhellenic Conference with a proposal to establish a NPC Archives Collection . Kappa Alpha Theta acknowledged that the Conference has significantly influenced the development of Greek letter organizations for women on college and university campuses throughout North America. Simultaneously this collective organization has made a positive contribution toward promoting the position of women in higher education and in society at large . Aware of these significant contributions to the history of women , Kappa Alpha Theta will assist in insuring that the records which tell the story of National Panhellenic Conferenceits inception , development, growth ,

policies , actions and accomplishments-are preserved . These records must be available for the benefit of future officers and for historians to study in the decades and centuries to come . The Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation has allocated funds up to the amount of $10 ,000 to facilitate this project. The 1987 resolution read : "Re solved , that a National Panhellenic Conference Archives Collection be established, to be housed at a suitable university which has a broad representation of NPC member groups, and that an ad hoc committee be appointed by the Executive Committee consisting of professional archivists and/ or historians who are members of National Panhellenic Conference member groups to select

the institution and implement the project. Cynthia McCrory , NPC Delegate for Alpha Sigma Tau and NPC Archivist , has been appointed to this committee in addition to Virginia Cain , Delta Delta Delta , Archivist for the Emory University Special Collections , Joan Howard , Sigma Kappa , Archivist for the Nixon Presidential Materials Projects , and Mary Edith Arnold , Kappa Alpha Theta Archivist , Chairman . This committee met in August , 1988 , and selected the University of Illinois as the repository institution . Alpha Sigma Tau applauds Kappa Alpha Theta for this historical step in the preservation of NPC archives!

Alumnae BUFFALO Honors a Fifty Year Member Founders Day luncheon was held on November 5 at Roxanne's restaurant in Williamsville . This was a joint affair with eleven collegiates attending . June Dotzour, who had recently traveled to Turkey with her husband , presented her slides as part of the program . The beautiful candlelighting ceremony was led by Buffalo Alumnae President Michele Luppino . It is always nice to see some sisters who do not attend regular meetings but make a special effort to join at this event. Kay Baxter was honored as a fifty year member . Members attended the Buffalo Alumnae Panhellenic luncheon and fashion show held in October at the Ramada Renaissance restaurant in Cheektowaga. About 200 women from 16 national sororities in the area were present. The profit was divided between the annual scholarship and the Lung Fund for Children's Hospital. An AST delegate and an alternate both attend the monthly meeting of Buffalo Alumnae Panhellenic . Fundraising takes many forms in Buffalo . A 50-50 raffle is conducted at each meeting . Half the collection is used for social service. Raffles , a white elephant sale, a garage sale and donations provide a convention fund and social service funds . -Norma Martin

DENVER Anticipates College Centennial The Denver Alumnae Chapter celebrated the Christmas holiday season with a lunch at the home of Doris Farmer with Vicki Garrett as co-hostess .

had the pot luck supper that was snowed out in February . The heat wave of the summer had already begun ; members were grateful for the air conditioned in door meal. An English Summer High Tea was planned in September by Mary Ellen Babcock who always surprises me mbers with a theme for refreshments . She has enjoyed drawing on her heritage for her culinary treats. For the October reunion at the home of Nadia Maddens, each member contacted a sister whom she had not seen for a while and extended a special invitation to the meeting . The college reminiscences brought laughter and screams as good times were recalled and old photos circulated. The pleasure of being in a national sorority is always brought home at the Metropolitan Detroit Fo unders Day, hosted alternately by Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor and Detroit Alumnae chapters. This year's luncheon planned by YpsilantiAnn Arbor was held at Crabbie Joe's in Dearborn . The entire Alpha Chapter also attended and made the day extra special. Speaker Marie Buesching titled her program "My Motivator and Me" and described self esteem and self worth and what creates a positive and negative image in people . Favors at the table were baskets of sachets and the program which was decorated with a yellow rose spray.

It has been a very busy fall and winter for us. We started the season off with a wedding-Chrissy Hawes married Michael Brooks on Labor Day weekend . We then began making our plans for the semester. In October , we attended the Homecoming parade and reception with the Alpha Tau girls . They are 50 strong now-the biggest ever! It was great to meet the new sisters and pledges as well as gather names and addresses for our newsletter. We celebrated Founders Day with the Alpha Tau girls at a lovely dinner . The whole day was very inspirational and helped us to renew our vows with AST . There were some very special guests at the dinner , 30 girls from Penn State Behrend who would like to petition to colonize. We are very excited about this and hope to be involved if they become a chapter. The November meeting was at Chrissy's home for a Home Interior party. It gave us a chance to get a little Christmas shopping done! December 2 a few of us attended the Alpha Tau pledge dance at Peak-n-Peak ski resort. It was a lovely dinner dance and gave us a chance to step back in time to remember all the fun we once had in college . The holiday season would not be complete without our annual Christmas party . This year we made it a family event at the home of Dave and Debbie Carter . It really put us in the spirit. We are very sad to say good-bye to one of the "Flock" this semester. Connie Young and her family moved to North Carolina in November-we wish them luck ; they will all be missed very much . -NormaL. Black

As always, the Panhellenic Bazaar was a huge success which will enable us to again support our charitable causes. Three of our members attended and enjoyed our National Convention in New Orleans last summer. We are especially proud of our own Pat Nayle , National President , and the magnificent job she did in conducting the convention . -Muriellvey

INDIANAPOLIS Takes Lutherwood to Live TV The Indianapolis Area Alumna e Chapter started another year with their first meeting at the home of Pam Legg in September. The meeting was highlighted with the presentation of the Mary Louise Doyle Panhellenic Award to Pam Method Legg for her time and dedication to the Indianapolis Panhellenic Chapter. The scrapbook taken to Convention and several other items from Convention and the Country Store were displayed for everyone to see . The October meeting was unusual in that we had the opportunity to tour one of the local Indianapolis television stations . This comes partly from knowing people in the right places -news coanchor Betsy Ross is an AST alumnae sister! We also invited the girls from Lutherwood Home , our social service project , to join us for this outing . These girls often have the opportunity to go to the zoo, circus , museums , parks , etc ., but the chance to view a live TV newscast and meet some of the local "celebrities" in person was unique enough that they were allowed to participate on a school night. The girls were very excited about seeing how a news broadcast actually goes on the air and what goes on behind the scenes. Since we watched the 6 :00 newscast from right in the studio, they had to be extremely quiet , which was almost impossible for 8-12 year olds . Thank goodness it was only a half-hour telecast!

After the newscast was off the air , Betsy took us on a tour of the rest of the station and answered the dozens of questions we were waiting to ask . While in the newsroom , a bulletin came in via the police scanner that there was a bomb threat on the west side of the city , and we saw the news team go into action to get a crew out to cover the story. In November the Indianapolis women celebrated Founders Day , and by adding two new members to our chapter. Ingrid Mason , Beta Xi , who recently moved from Michigan to nearby Anderson , Indiana was installed into the Indianapolis Area Alumnae Chapter , and we also installed Gloria Hasler as our first Associate Member of Alpha Sigma Tau . The meeting came to a close by viewing the new Pine Mountain slides accompanied with narration by Cheryl Moore , our Social Service Chairman . We are discussing the possibility of traveling to Pine Mountain sometime in the spring . The December meeting was a Christmas Party at the home of Barbara Heeb , which included a gift exchange and recipe exchange. Everyone was asked to bring their favorite "holiday" recipe for sampling. As in the past , during the month of December , the Indianapolis

Northern Virginia alumnae Susan Baker and Meda Ray S e well display the fall decorations made for a local nursing home.

Chapter also volunteer their time to participate in the Indianapolis Panhellenic Gift Wrap for Charity . - Barbara Heeb

NORTHERN VIRGINIA Collects for the Food Bank Members devoted the October meeting to making fall and Halloween decorations ; these were later delivered to a local nursing home . Cans of food were collected at the December meeting and given to a local food bank for use during the holiday season . Selling White House Christmas ornaments proved to be a very profitable activity this year . Members are also selling AST license plate frames . Profits are used to support social service projects and to help pay for delegate expenses to the National Convention . Northern Virginia celebrated Founders Day at the home of Mary Louise Doyle . A delightful social evening was highlighted by a delicious home-made lasagne dinner prepared by Mary Louise . The evening was concluded with the candlelight ceremony . The alumnae chapter recently adopted the sisters of the Gamma Zeta Chapter with plans to support their activities . -Cathy M. Schreiner

Convention activities were shared with members by viewing a videotape at the Christmas potluck supper. At this open gathering , singles , couples and friends can be invited . An early fall activity was the walking tour of an outdoor sculpture park and a luncheon following the walk at the Olive Garden restaurant. Edwardsville was host for Founders Day which St. Louis Alumnae and Beta Psi chapters attended. Special charities were provided with money from the book resales which are held at meetings twice each year. Our Ladies Inn , a home for disturbed girls and unwed mothers , received the personal items such as toothbrushes , toothpaste , tissue and soap which are collected by the chapter. -Arlene Clark

TIDEWATER Keeps A Secret New officers were installed at the home of Anna-Margaret Rhodes in May. In October , Joy Robertson hosted the monthly meeting which featured an informative guest speaker who discussed counseling in the public schools. The "question and answer" session enlightened members as to the many programs offered by the public school which parents are not aware of. Secret pals , or secret sisters , were also chosen . After each sister wrote several personal items of interest about herself on an index card , it was collected and then redistributed . No name will be revealed until the end of the year - it's a secret! The June social was a beach party . A beautiful day , lots of good food and volleyball were all part of the agenda. Spouses and friends shared in the activities. Founders Day banquet was held on November 17 at the Szechuan Garden restaura nt in Virginia Beach . Several long-lost sisters were able to join alumnae for a delicious dinner and a special candlelighti ng ceremony which made a very me morable evening.

Presentations and awards were given from last convention to deserving sisters of most honorable mention. Congratulations to Sister of the Semester , Michelle Weaver, who has obviously been as busy as a beaver. Thanks especially to the Detroit Chapter, Elaine , Linda , and Sue ; our day certainly would not have been complete without you . Potluck was enjoyable at Carlotta's in September, summer's experiences exchanged and upcoming dates to re me mber. October's social service and Pine Mountain slides chaired by Diana , saving Betty Crocker coupons and Campbell soup labels to extend its panorama . Fundraising , Marcia's surprise baby shower , and Jackie's initiation , made November at Elaine's an evening of joy and jubilation . Then in December, across roads dusted with snow , to Linda Shapona's home we did go. Laden with Christmas goodies and gifts of wide range , holiday warmth and greetings to exchange. 'Twas the time to be merry and everyone was excitedly stirring , thus spirits were high 路 and friendsh ips most endearing . However , before this year ends and we begin anew , best wishes for a prosperous year from us to you . -Joyce Berg

Spring 1989 / THE ANCHOR

Collegians Alpha

Eastern Michigan The Alpha chapter kicked off the fall with a successful rush . Each party was packed with intrigue, but our favorite was the pajama party . Sisters brought pillows and stuffed animals and we served popcorn and pizza . We were thrilled with the results as we received 18 wonderful women . October began on a special note . We brought cupcakes for children of St. Joseph's Hospital. We also played games with them. The annual Panhellenic Rock-a-thon was a success. All sororities rocked for 24 hours to raise money for the United Way. Homecoming was filled with laughter and cheer . We held an open house before attending the football game . Alpha observed Red Ribbon week , when we pledged not to drink alcohol. We decided to hold our lock-in during this time. Our guest speaker recalled her recovery from alcoholism . We closed out the month of October with a Halloween party with Lambda Chi Alpha , then began November with a Founders Day luncheon. It was a time for sharing and memories. Our sorority sponsored two teams to compete in the Iota Sigma Kappa Mud Bowl. We took home a second place finish . Our pledge "kidnaps" allowed pledges to get to know sisters better. Then we donned our best dresses for the annual semiformal. - Kari Kalmink

Our annual Rack-a-thon raised more money than ever for the Lock Haven Day Care Center. Two of our sisters participated in a walk-a-thon and during our retreat we watched slides about the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

The Phi chapter participated in Greek Week , the College Desegregation Rally , IFC Blood Drive , Greek Block Party , Panhellenic Installation and intramurals . -Christi Havrilla

James Madison University Psi chapter was comprised of more pledges than sisters , as 39 swelled our ranks . Our "Port of Call" party was incredibly successful. We had a polar freeze , beachy oasis and Mexican fiesta all at once.

One of our favorite sisterhood activities is our Foxfield Horse Races. The day was gorgeous and we had a blast in our "camptown" dresses , eating picnic food on good china .

For the first time at West Chester, rush was informal , and first semester freshmen were not allowed to rush . After "Take Me Out to the Tau' Game" and "AST Spends a Night in Italy", we were seven pledges stronger. Founders Day celebration was one of the best ever. We celebrated in the beautiful Phillips Memorial Hall , and were joined by parents and members of the Philadelphia area alumnae , for the first time . Of course , Alpha Phi participated in WCU's Homecoming Olympiad 1988. Representing Mexico , we took part in the parade and pre-game festivities . But the highlight of the day was seeing sister Suzanne Goulding named as first runner-up in the Queen competition . Our biggest social service project was a Christmas Drive for the family of a local police officer who was killed in the line of duty . Other projects included participating in the Club Coca-Cola to raise money for the Special Olympics , volunteering at a local day care , and helping out at Brian's Run , an event to raise money for the physically impaired .

Beta Zeta

Despite the frustrations of five sisters who got lost along the way , Beta Theta's retreat to Camp Texlake was one to cherish. A few of life's luxuries were sacrificed that weekend, for example , electrical outlets , shower doors and hot water. However , entertaining each other with creative pastimes , campfires and good conversations made "roughing it" easier . Pledges were able to attend for the first time and everyone shared special times. One song comes to mind : "You've Got a Friend". Rush themes for the Beta Theta chapter consisted of Fairyland , Gameshow Night and Tau Cross . Pledging was hectic and time consuming for the five women. However , persistence paid off with success . Founders Day was celebrated by a banquet at Luby's restaurant with many alumnae . Rededication ceremonies followed during the week . The Beta Tau sisterhood maintained our strong social service efforts oncampus and in the community with eight events . They included a Halloween party at the local Ronald McDonald House , Thanksgiving basket giving , adopt a family for Christmas and a Penny Drive dur-

University of Alabama at Birmingham Summer is a time for goofing off, soaking up the rays and just being lazy. But the Beta Zeta's did not have much time for these activities . We had several rush workshops to prepare for fall rush . Our efforts paid off. We received sixteen wonderful women . Our fall mixers "Walt Disney World" and "Around the World" proved to be fun. The fraternities treated us in style . We bopped 'til we dropped and received a lovely bouquet of flowers. In November we had the second annual Halloween Party with the Sigma Nu's and " Dead Man 's" was the theme . We also participated in intramural sports making the play offs in flag football. Our spirit of sisterhood was rekindled at the Founders Day dinner and dance. December is truly a festive time of year as we celebrated our second annual Christmas Party and a road block with Tau Kappa Epsilon for Toys for Tots . We went Christmas caroling at a nursing home , had a little Christmas get together and exchanged gifts at Terry Dudley's, our Chapter Adviser . -Sasha Smith

We were very interested in the newly organized Panhellenic system and are proud to announce that our own sister, Martha Weimer , was founding president.
