A Rich History in Pine Mountain Kimberly Golden Benner, Beta Epsilon One hundred years ago eight women gathered together and began a dream that would become Alpha Sigma Tau. Ju st ix months prior to that gathering, a woman named Katherin e Pettit made her first trip to Harlan County, Kentucky, vowing to return and build a school. Thu began the dream that would become Pine Mountain Settlement School. Miss Pettit, along with Ethel de Long returned to the north ide of the Appalachia mountain twelve years after that first trip to fulfi ll a dream and a promi se to the people of Harlan County. With the support of Miss Pettit, Mi s de Long, and Mr. and Mr . William Creech, who donated the land for the school , Pine Mountain became a reality and opened its door in 1913. AlphaSigmaTau'sfir tin ightinto Pine Mountain came when Carrie Staehle (Alpha) and her farruly moved toColumbu s, Ohioin 1937. Sheaffiliated with St. James Episcopal Church in Columbus whereshemetMaryAnne Plattenburgh, the Reverend 's wife and a former teacher at Pine Mountain Settlement School. Mrs. Staehle was intrigued and interes ted in Mrs. Platten burgh's stories about the school and when AST di cus ed a possi ble national social service project, Mr . Staehle sugges ted Pine Mountain. Our first ational Social Service Chairman, Lucile Steen, researched Pine Mountain Settlement School and recommended that Alpha Sigma Tau adopt the school as a permanent national service project. It wa a natural fit for our orority, becau eat the time AST wa till a member of the A sociation of Education Sororities. At the March 2, 1945 National Council board meeting it wa decided that money from our National Soci al Service Annual Fund be donated to Pine Mountain and a dome tic project be organized to as i t the chool.

Th e mill dam at Harlan, May / , 1899, the day Kath erine Pel/it would fi rst cross Pine Mountain and th e dream of a school would be set in motion.

So began our hi tory wit h thi unique and wonderful educational intitution that ha cha nged and haped the li ve on many children. From the fir t pledge cia e of 1945 that boxed up and ent much needed chool supp li e to the 20,000 donated last year, our upport of thi in titution has remained teadfa t and grown beyond our dream . "The women of Alpha Sigma Tau don't realize just how much they mean to u ," ay Robin Lambert, Executive Director of Pine Mountain ettlement School.

"Your members support makes a real difference for our planning, our morale, and for us to be able to dream ofeven better things to co1ne at Pine Mountain." - Robin Lambert

"We truly appreciate everything Alpha Sigma Tau ha done for Pine Mountain over the year . ot ju t the financial upport, but the goodwill and genera ity of it member make a real difference," M . Lambert add . "Your i ter who have vi ited here over the year have alway made a difference in our day . It' that contant upport, intere t and care that mean o much to u ." From it humble root a a boarding chool for children who had to travel four hour to chool to the prawling educational and environmental learning center it ha become, Pine Mountain ha grown with the caring upport of lpha Sigma Tau. Our financial gift over the year have helped to renovate building and purcha e much needed item uch a a ommercial- ize r frigerator, an, furnace, and educational uppli .

North Carolina We leyan College in Rocky Mount, NC wa the ite for the Installation of the Delta Omicron Chapter in May. It wa the culmination of many month of hard work by the ladies of Delta Omicron. The fe tivitie began on Friday, April 30, with a reception held on campu . It was attended by campu official , including CWC President John White, and Vice President/ Greek Adviser Dr. Tyrone Bledsoe. Many parent al o joined the si ters and alumnae for refreshments and ocialization. Following the reception, the Installation team treated the sisters to a special ceremony. It was a perfect way for the alumnae to how our newe t i ter that the special bonds of isterhood can continue to form and grow long after their college days are pa t. Saturday, May l , was the day the Delta Omicron women had been waitin g for. The day began with the In tallation Ceremony in the campus chapel. Mrs. Lenore (Sybil) King erved a the Installing Officer. The In tallation team included Lara Cegala, director of expansion; Tracy Bond, national colony adviser; Carol Cooper, pa t national council member; Laurie Suson, chapter advi er; and Dee Woomer, assistant chapter adviser. Eleven women, along with their campus adviser, Dr. Debra Gover-Fischer were initiated a members of Alpha Sigma Tau. Later that evening, sisters, friends and family gathered for the Installation banquet. During the dinner, Mrs. King gave the Keynote address reflecting on the ways sorority involvement enhances our lives. Later Miss

Cegala presented chapter president Erin Polley with the Chapter Charter. Miss Bond gave Dr. White a certificate recognizing the establishment of an AST chapter at NCWC. The chapter was presented with traditional gift from Alpha Sigma Tau, ational Council , and the advisory team. Mi s Cegala and Mr . King announced the fund-raising efforts to e tablish a Delta Omicron scholarship through the National Foundation . The chapter also pre ented gifts to the seniors, the advisory team , and to Jen LaBonte who was instrumental in organizing the banquet. The evening ended with the traditional Candlelight Ceremony, led by Miss Bond . Being a small group, the women of Delta Omicron know they have much work to do , not only to grow and flourish as a chapter of AST, but as leaders in the redevelopment of the Greek system at NCWC. The enthusi-

asm and dedication of the e women and their advisers will help them face the challenge that lie ahead.

ANew Pavilion for Pine Mountain Pine Mountain Settlement School will soon begin construction on an outdoor pavilion that promises to be as beautiful as the rest of the campus. This outdoor pavilion will be used for a variety of activities and purposes including: folk dancing, academic and craft classes, dramatic and musical performances, picnics, and other social gatherings. It will be erected on the site of the Burkham School Building, which burned in the 1980s. The design of the structure will follow the architectural designs of the other buildings on Pine Mountain's campus -- primarily tone and wood. The pavilion will have a floor plan similar to Laurel House, with a stone fireplace at one end, a stage, covered terrace, wraparound porch, and space for large gatherings. The cornerstones of the old school building will be incorporated into the stone wall of the pavilion. These cornerstones are inscribed with the words: Truth, Humanity, Honesty, and Self-Control. Alpha Sigma Tau donations for Pine Mountain Settlement School, from chapters and individuals, have been designated to building this pavilion. This structure -- in addition to being used to promote fellowship and enhance education and programming-- will be a permanent way for Alpha Sigma Tau to contribute a lasting impact for Pine Mountain Settlement School.

MISSION:

The purpose of Alpha Sigma Tau

for ~lie 1). is to promote the ethical, cultural, ~ and social development of its members, specifically:

1. to develop the character of each member through a study

of ethics so that she will show in all her relationships sincerity, honesty, love and understanding; 2. to help each member enjoy the cultural advantages in life so that she will know how 路to select those things which are most worthwhile; and 3. to develop in each member the social graces to the extent that she will be able to take her place in life with true dignity and poise. T he history of many organizations is rich with the dedication of individual memberspeople endowed with positive vision, creative resourcefulness, and inspired integrity. The founders of Alpha Sigma Tau were women who possessed these qualities. On November 4, 1899, eight college women from Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) formed Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Those founders (p ictured above) are Helene Rice, Adriance Rice, Eva O 'Keefe, Harriet Marx, May Gephart, Mayene Tracy, Mable Chase, and Ruth Dutcher. These eight women inspired a love and dedication to the So rority, a torch that has been passed through the years. For nearly 100 years, Alpha Sigma Tau has been an active presence at universities and colleges across the United States.
