If the mail comes "postage due," don 't pay it. Just return to sender. If it i not your problem, give it back!!! You don't need to pay the price of tre when it i not your . You're down to the "do it" list ofyour mail. The e are item that require your attention. Prioritize them into: ea ily done and filed -- to be attended to a quickly a po ible; "do it" oon, and be done with it; long term project . All that 's left is your own "short List" of stressors. Continuing this compari on, what' left are the tre or that are truly your . Divide them into similar categories-- like your mail -- and: tackle the ea y one and file them away; do any that can be accompli hed, learn from them and leave them behind; you're left with only the long term, tough one .

Wellness is the result of a great balancing act. If we wisely balance diet, exercise, work, play, and spirituality in our lives, we are well even with our infirmities. Dail y stress throws a monkey-wrench into thi s already tenuous balancing act. But stress is a part of the growing and wellness process. Used well it helps us grow ... used poorly, it can defeat us. So how do we deal with thi s monster we call stre s? We can deal with it much like we open our mail.

Open it over a wastebasket and throw out the junk. Discard your junk stressors, too -- you don't have to keep all of them. Read and .file what can be quickly set aside, and be pleased that you are done with them. Review those stressors that you can let go of, Jearn the lesson they teach, put them in their place and move forward without deali ng with them agai n. Distribute to others what is not your mail. Analyze your area of stress and don't hold on to the ones that are not addre sed to you. If you did not create them and can do nothing about them, then mentally relea e them a if you were mail-forwarding and be done with them .

The e "monster" stre ors are the one that you mu t wre tie and come to term with, or they'll defeat you. The best way to deal with the e tre sor i head on -- tackle them , embrace them, face them quarely, and di cu them with your mentor ("elder " who have had that experience). Take advantage of learning from other at every opportunity!

Treat every stress in your life as a challenge to grow, to be more "experienced, " more worldly, more mature. With every tre that you conquer and learn from, you are one tep clo er to per onal and career ucce . Stres i a fence. It if were not there, we would ne er learn to climb it. Go路 find higher fence and achie e higher goal . Fraternally,

AST is Charter Founding Member of NPC Endowment Fund In honor of Alpha Sigma Tau's Centennial, the National Council and the Centennial committee combined forces to have AST be the fir t and founding donor to the NPC Foundation Centennial Endowment Fund. With our gift of $5,000, the endowment fund was born and our orority became the sole founding charter member. The endowment fund has been established by the NPC Foundation, in preparation of NPC's Centennial in 2002, as an unre tricted fund to sponsor programs in area of mo t need. On October 16 at the NPC meeting, Jean Scott, NPC Foundation President pre e nted the annual report to the entire co nference and announced the creation of this new endowment fund. On cue, our National Pre ident Martha DeCamp, Alpha, and all the AST si ter in attendance stood before the Panhellenic women while Mrs. DeCamp read the Centennial Proclamation. It was an hi storic moment where Alpha Sigma Tau made an enormou impact on all other 25 ororitie and on the future of NPC programs. A 17" x 11 " matted and framed copy of the Proclamation wa presented to Jean Scott. Mrs. Scott said that our proclamation would be the flrst item hung on the wall of the new NPC Foundation office. After the presentation of the Proclamation, parchment copie were di tributed to the conference attendees. What a moment. What a time in hi tory. What an impact ou r sorority ha made on the li ve ofPanhellenic women today and tho e yet to come. AST sisters who attended the Alumnae Luncheon at NPC meeting in October enjoy a moment together.

52l..s wom e n stri ve to "handle it all " in tod ay' society, they often forget to take care of one very important element -- themselves. Whether your juggling studies and work; work and a househo ld; a hou ehold and children; or all of the above, your life get compli cated and your day grow long. Some wo men are dedi cated to takin g care of th emselve . They workout regul arly, eat healthy, and do yoga fo r tress reducti on. For other , exercise is a "dirty " word, M&Ms on the go is lunch, and more work seems to be the onl y stress reducer they know. Through all the crazine s in your day, there is a single fact th at holds true ... just one step to wards takjn g better care of yourself can make a major di fference in your health, in your peronal appearance, and in your overall attitude towards life. How do you get started? With some small basic steps, building blocks for the future of your good health .

Breast Exam If you're 20-39 year of age you hould perfo rm a breas t e lf-exam every month and have a clinical breast exam every three year . If you're over the age of 40, perform a breast e lf-exam every month, and have a c lini ca l breas t exam and a ma mm og ra m every year. The Ameri can Cancer Society predi cts th at there will be about 182,800 new case of in vas ive breast cancer in the year 2000 among women in the United State . That' a taggering predi ction. Don't wait to get a check up, just becau e it' a bit uncomfo rtable. Obviou ly, there are element in our li ves that we can't control like age, geneti c ri k fac tor , and farruly history. But there are change yo u ca n make th at will in fl uence your ge neral hea lth and longev ity.

Exercise Checking Up If you haven't seen a doctor in several years, then the first thing you need to do is get an overall check up. A general "rul e of thumb" from the American Medi cal Association , is if you're healthy and under 40, get a check up every fi ve years, and after 40 go every year or two.

The Yearly Exam Don't mi ss your yearl y gynecology appointment. Most of us would rather iron clothe than make thi appo intment, but the facts are clear -- it ca n ave your li fe . The cancer that most frequentl y affect women are brea t, e nd o metri al, ova ri an, and cervica l, a we ll a lun g and co lo rec ta l. Ea rl y detec ti on and treatment is the key to urvivin g, and th at i be t done th rough a y arl y aminati on.

5teps to Makf_ a tJJifference Manage Your Stress BY: DEANNA

MARJE

JANKOWSKI, GAMMA IOTA

Managing stress will make a difference in your general health. So, when life gets crazy, as it all too often does, take a deep breath, relax , and de-stress! When you feel yourself overwhelmed by studies, work, motherhood, or life in general, try one of these ten stress reduction solutions. Remember every person i different. Some techniques may work for you and not for others ... and vice versa. So, find out what works best for you and stick with it. 1.

Solitude ... If you feel yourself boiling over with anger or anxiety, get away! Find a quiet place, take deep breaths, and relax. Try to find at least 30 minute per day to spend by yourself and use that time to do whatever relaxes you (i.e.: take a bath, take a nap, or read a book). TV .. .Stay away from resorting to TV as a "getaway" from tre s. It is only a getaway. According to Robert Kubey, Ph.D ., of Rutgers University, television is only a temporary replacement for stress. The key to relaxing in front of the TV is to plan your TV viewing. If you like a particular show, watch it, but then tum the TV off after the show is over. Too much television can become hypnotic and can actually increase stres . Rein venting the wheei...Why do it??!! Getting tressed over handling the corporate balance sheet or havi ng problems finding the information you need to finish your senior the is? Why stress over it, talk with others, if you are encountering a problem, most likely, others have too. Work in a group, that way you can express questions or concerns quickly and easily. Exercise .. .It is a proven fact that exercising lowers blood pressure and relaxes muscles. So head off to the gym, walk the dog, go for a swim, play some

tennis ... whatever suits your life-style. And hey, you do not need to join a pricey health club to accomplish this . In fact, doing sit ups at home works just as well! 5.

Sinful getaway ... We all know these. Indulge yourelf! Whether it chocolate, a cup of chamomile tea, a facial , a makeover, or even a small shopping trip. In fact, current brain-chemistry research suggests that both sugar and starches are tranquilizing, inducing relaxation. So have that piece of chocolate cake ...just don ' t over do it!

Silly Solutions ... Did you know that laughing for 20 minute can have the same results on your stres level as a 3 minute session on the rowing machine? Use the smile therapy and laugh a little or laugh a lot!

Love problems .. .Try to keep work (or school) and your love life as separate as possible. Yes, its easier said that done, but just remember that bringing romance problems into the workplace can bring on a whole new et of problems .. .and stress!

Experience flow . .. That's right, go with the flow! Do what you like to do , whether it i cooking, gardening, singing, dancing, or teaching your daughter how to play oftball. Doctors say that by doing this you will feel clearheaded and refreshed.

Serenity in Sounds . . .Listening to classical mu ic i a great way to soothe the soul. If you don ' t like classical music, invest in a nature tape. If you are at home: tum the lights down, close your eye and let the melody do its work. If you are at work: invest in headphone and bring your music with you, just be careful not to play it too loud. 10. Take control.... Stres does not control you, you control it. .. Don ' t let stress run your life.

Cruisin' the Caribbean BY: JANET JJMJSON, IOTA

The waves splashed again st the side of the cruise ship as 15 AST sisters, along with some friend s and family , began their journey on a even day cruise. From July 11 through 18 the Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sea was the vacation spot for these sea-worthy sisters. The following are excerpts from Janet Jimi son's journal of the first Alpha Sigma Tau cruising adventure. Sunday

Left from Port of Houston under sunny skies. There was a "Sailaway Party," Broadway production by Jean Ann Ryan Company, the Monte Carlo Casino, Teen Disco, Singles Social, Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville Party, and the Boomer's Party Zone all happening today as we set sail. Monday

The cruisin' ASTs Thursday

Saturday

Arrived in Cancun at 1:00 p.m. We had to take a "tender" ashore. There were many adventure options. We chose the beach. The water was blue and warm -- it was just perfect. Went shopping -- just couldn 't resist!!! Dinner was Texaribbean complete with a Mariachi band. At 10:00 p.m. we set sail for Cozumel.

9:30 a.m. we were welcomed to Roaton by a group of native dancers. Like all the other ports, we had many opportunities for adventure. Roatan is very primitive, so we decided to go across the island to Loafer Bar and Grill. This is a fairly new spot and was quiet and restful. The owners were from Kansas so we had a lot in common. We even went into the village to do some shopping. Back on the ship the evening entertainment was the production of Grea e with a sock hop contest afterwards.

The week i coming to a close with our last day at sea. It was a time to rest, buy pictures taken of us at the various events, buy some gifts to take home, and enjoy the sun. The evening featured a Guest Talent Show with several very talented people on the ship performing. Singer Jane L. Powell also performed a show -- she was excellent! Later that night was a country-we tern hoedown.

Wednesday

Friday

The Captain's Welcome Party, Spotlight Showtime, Casino, and Late Night Comedy kept us busy the second day at sea. Tuesday

6:00 a.m. we arrived in beautiful Cozumel. The first thing we did was more shopping. Then it was offto the new public beach. It had rained early, so the water was not as clear as in Cancun. The cab ride was a bit exciting on the narrow and bumpy roads. Headed back to set sail for Roctfan, Honduras by 4:30p.m.

The Making of a Chapter Bv:

lNGA D AKOTA SMITH , D ELTA

One woman looked around the campus and saw the need for a sorority with high ideals with the option of national ties. With that thought, Naoina Gartee, founded the Delta u chapter on the Beloit College campu . Naoina recruited women who would live up to the ideal s of Alpha Sigma Tau . These women recruited even more women and together they researched and corresponded to national organizations. On October 14, 1998 Delta u was granted colony status. From the first moment the women saw eac h other in white, they acknowledged that they were realizing a dream and worked hard to ensure that dream wou ld become a reality. The colonization period wa hectic, but -- above all -- it was a wonderful learni ng experience. The women were under the primary guidance of Colony Educator Nancy Tyberskj with Debi Pyszka adding support. Two other women initially assisted the colony team -- Robin Hayes and Melissa Wildfung. Their primary focus was to learn about the sorority and gai n the tools needed to have an effective and fun chapter. The women of Delta u organized informative se sion s about the sorority as a mean of recruitment, as well as organized philanthropy, soc ial, and academic events. A few events that tand-out are the overnight stays at a local homele s shelter every Friday ni ght and the Multiple Sclero is Walk/ Fund-raiser. The women also had many si terhood event ranging from education about Pine Mountain to a isterhood retreat where they focu ed on women' hea lth i ue .

April 15, 2000 was a pecial day for 26 women on the campus of The Uruver ity of the Science in Philadelphia.

The memorable day began with a lovely Initiati on Ceremony held with Gail Fowler, pa t national pre ident, serving a the In tailing Officer. She wa joined by Tracy Bond, national colony ad vi er; Andrea Kletn-Yancho, nation al trea urer; Canie Bender, collegiate expan ion a i tant, Ali ce Thoma , chapter ad i er; Norma Brown, De lta Zeta chapter con ultant, and everal other collegiate and alumnae i ter . Later that evening the i ters, parent , advi ers, campus admini trators, and guests gathered to celebrate at a beautiful Installation Banquet. The banquet, ho ted by Kathy Knies s, chapter president, and Brooke Barnett, banquet coordinator, featured a keynote addre s by Profes or Carol Hitchcock of Penn State University, Abington. During the banquet, the chapter received the traditional gifts from the National Council, as well

many gifts from their advisers, ational Staff, their b路aining team , and alumnae. The evening took a reflective turn when the newly initiated sisters preented gift to the graduating senior , and to the sisters and advisers who helped them on their journey. Gail Fowler presented the chapter with its charter, and Andrea Klein- Yancho presented the university with a certificate marking the establishment of the Delta Sigma Chapter. Delta Si gma 's Installation highlighted a long road which began when the Little Sister of Upsilon Sigma Phi ended their affiliation with the fraternity .

The women worked diligently to complete the requirements to become a chapter under the guidance of ational Colony Adviser Tracy Bond, Chapter Advisers Alice Thomas and Suzanne Trump and Assistant Adviser John Moore. The advisers guidance and dedication to the chapter was invaluable in assisting thi group of women.

On Becoming an Alumnae When collegian graduate from or leave co llege they have questions regarding their alumnae membership. Here are some of the more common questions posed to Director of Alumnae Patricia Nayle, Phi. Am I an alumna member when I leave college or do I need to apply? An initiated collegiate member automatically becomes an alumnae member in good standing upon graduating or leaving college, as long as she was in good standing financially. There is no application or test to pass. How wil1 the sorority know that I left? Your chapter treasurer completes and submits a report to National Headquarters on members graduating or leaving college each semester.

Founding isters of the Tidewater Alumnae Chapter (1-r) Diane Forrest, Vickie Scott, and Anna Margaret Rhodes join in th e chapter's Centennial Celebration.

If I move to another city, how will the sorority know where to find me?

The sorority will not know when you move or change your name, unless you personally contact National Headquarters. You'll need to call, write, or e-mail the office. Updates go to: updates@alphasigmatau.org. How do I find alumnae chapters or events in my area? How can I become an active alumnae member? Learn about alumnae associations by contacting National Headquarters; going to the sorority website; or contacting the Director of Alumnae. You can become an active alumnae immediately by joining an active chapter or starting one. Will I get regular correspondence from the sormity? If National Headquarters has your current address, you 'l/ receive THE CREST, alumnae newsletter; a "senior kit;" an alumnae dues im oice reminder; National Foundation information; and other AST mailings.
