From the National President
Everything is Beautiful in the Springtime On March 13th, I had the pleasure of attending a delightful Broadway show: Beautiful, The Carole King Musical. Midway through the first song, the performer shared a few words to set the stage and something she said stayed with me. “And you know what’s so funny about life? Sometimes it goes the way you want and sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes when it doesn’t, you find something beautiful.” When life sometimes “goes the way you want and (then) sometimes it doesn’t,” that something beautiful we find is Tri Sigma. We are so blessed with the endless gifts of friendship, sisterhood and splendid memories of the many moments our lives have been enriched by our sisters and our sorority. As I reflect back over decades of Sigma memories and experiences to date, most all of them bring about smiles and laughter, but even during the challenging times, you, our Golden Violets, inspire beautiful thoughts for me. Your steadfast love of Tri Sigma, your presence, your passion, your lifelong experience and the examples you set for all to live by are so inspiring. You truly are the “ornaments of our order.” As we exited the theater, the song, “You’ve Got A Friend” played over and over in my mind and thoughts of our sisterhood were plentiful and heartwarming and left me smiling all the way home. And then, as we pulled into our driveway, I received a phone call letting me know that dear, sweet Carolyn Wallisch, Iota and a member of the Denver Alumnae Chapter had passed on to our Omega Chapter. She not only is a Golden Violet and a past Golden Violet Coordinator but is a golden angel, too. Over the past six months, albeit fighting illness, Carolyn continued to share encouraging words, smiles, laughter and support and has always been an incredible friend to me! To Carolyn, everyone was a friend. Even if meeting for the first time, a stranger always parted as a friend. As noted in her obituary, “If we can only remember and act upon the dignified lessons she gave us, this world will continue to blossom and flourish.” Carolyn and her legacy will long be remembered, respected, loved and treasured and if all members of our sorority will do the same “...remember and act upon the dignified lessons she gave us,” then Tri Sigma will continue to blossom and flourish as well. Happy Spring! Sigma smiles and hugs to you!

From your Golden Violet Coordinator
Time to Celebrate Founders Day! Dear Golden Violet Sisters, As I was writing this for our spring issue, I had just put away the Mardi Gras decorations that I had in my home, along with several bags of beads that had come my way at various parades. The date of this annual celebration in New Orleans always depends on the date of Easter, counting back 40 days to Ash Wednesday. It was quite early this year (February 13), so our weather was a combination of chilly and rainy, sunny and hot. As one of our local meteorologists stated, January and February can bring “whiplash weather!” March can be fickle: windy and cold one day, warm and balmy the next. But April always seems to be the heart of spring. For Tri Sigmas it also means the annual celebration of our Founders Day. Do you remember your first Founders Day? Was it with local alumnae or just your collegiate sisters and advisors? How many of you received your Golden Violet at a Founders Day event? Was it on a campus, at a favorite restaurant, or at someone’s home? Some chapters invite special guests and family members; others will have a smaller gathering for lunch or even a tea. One year when I was traveling as an Alumnae Chapter Coordinator, I
attended three different celebrations on three different weekends. Each time I found that the Founders Day program, the memories shared, and the sisterhood experiences were all different, and yet the same. My wish for you is that you were able to share that special date of April 20 with your Sigma sisters, with those from your collegiate chapter, or with new alumnae friends who have become part of your life through the years. If a specific event is not available or scheduled near you, then try to contact a sister through a phone call, an email, a post on Facebook, or even a text! Donate to the Foundation in memory of a sister who is in Omega Chapter or in honor of a young Sigma who has a lifetime of sisterhood ahead of her. Spend a few minutes thinking of those eight brave young women who, 120 years ago, decided to bond together and make history. As Golden Violets, we have been fortunate to have had at least 50 years of every season of the year to proudly say, “I am a Tri Sigma!” In our bonds,
Mandy Chocheles Golden Violet Coordinator

From the Foundation Chair
Empowering the Future of Tri Sigma Dear Sisters, Could you imagine being in college today? Being a student today brings different challenges than I remember facing during my undergraduate years.
was Helen Marie National President when I was initiated, but we worked closely together during my first stint on the Foundation Board. Helen Marie taught me how to be graceful under fire as well as helped me gain a deeper understanding of the operations of our Sorority.
Our youngest Sigma sisters are students paying their own way through school, daughters caring for their parents, officers leading in their chapters and sisters serving in their communities. While we believe every Tri Sigma is destined to change the world, we must lift them up by giving them opportunities to gain the skills they each need to learn and lead. Each year the Foundation grants funding to our Sorority for educational and leadership development. National programs like Presidents Academy and Dunham Women of Character Institute provide opportunities for us to empower Tri Sigma leaders. Participants leave these programs with more confidence, resources and a network of sisters to support them in their achievements. With the face of women in leadership changing, our leadership and educational programs remain our greatest need. Tri Sigma’s future belongs to the generations of sisters striving to become future volunteers for our Sorority, experts in their field of study, and leaders inside their future company’s board room. Thankfully, through my Tri Sigma experience I gained leadership, professional and interpersonal skills to propel me forward within my life and career. One of my mentors was Helen Marie Snyder, Past National President, Alpha Xi and Omega. Not only
After I was installed for my first term as National Treasurer in 2010, Pam Snyder Johnson, Gamma Lambda and Helen Marie’s daughter, told me that her mother knew that I was destined for great things. She shared that Helen Marie would have been proud of me. I want sisters to feel empowered like I have throughout the years and know they have a sisterhood that believes in their talents and strengths. Thinking about my mentors, I found the greatest wisdom comes from the leaders who served before me. As Golden Violets, you have already and continue to pave the path for Tri Sigma and the Foundation. You have given of your time, talents and treasure. Now will you share your wisdom too? You can help empower Tri Sigma leaders who will be attending Dunham Women of Character Institute on August 3-5. Share the best leadership advice you ever received and how it helped you be successful. Email foundation@trisigma.org or mail a note card no later than June 30, 2018 to: Tri Sigma Foundation 225 N. Muhlenberg St., Woodstock, VA 22664 By sharing your wisdom, providing mentorship and funding leadership programs, you join the Foundation in empowering the future of Tri Sigma one leader at a time. In our bonds,
Bonnie Rainey, Alpha Sigma Chair, Foundation Board of Directors 4
2018 Leadership and Educational Programs What is Presidents Academy? A program for all collegiate chapter presidents. Why is it important? 96% participants can create a plan for their chapter presidency and successful personal leadership; compared to 66% prior to the program. “I learned that confidence is something you grow, but I can harness it to be empowered within myself and empower my sisters.” Pritali Amrutkar, Epsilon Theta
What is Prevention Institute? Equips members to confront high risk behaviors; but more importantly how to proactively identify risky behaviors and reduce the potential for harm. Why is it important? Those that participate: • 90% feel they now have the skills to intervene • 110% decrease in the number of high-risk drinkers • 89% indicate they would now report or stop hazing in their chapter “I feel so much more confident in tackling current and future areas of work within my chapter.” Abigail Stillwell, Gamma Lambda What did Education Summit teach our Sigma sisters? “This Summit taught me valuable leadership, compassion, and etiquette skills.” Emma Kauffman, Gamma Beta Why is it important? 96% of participants know how to utilize appropriate flatware, glassware and stemware while dining; compared to 62% prior to the program. 5
Golden Glimpses Spotlights Spring 2018 In each issue of the “Golden Glimpses”, we shine the spotlight on just a few of the many women who are now considered Golden Violets. From the Golden Violet Coordinator: As I read through the nomination forms for the Golden Violets who appear in the Spotlights section of each Golden Glimpses issue, I always notice that they are such a diverse group of women. Some have had the good fortune of being close to a collegiate or alumnae chapter, offering opportunities for participation and leadership in the sorority. Some, because of distance or where life has taken them, have, as one of our Spotlighted Sigmas said, “always kept Sigma in my heart.” All of them are contributing members of their communities, churches, and occupations and have shared their time and talent in countless ways. They are perfect examples of being truly steadfast Sigmas.
Alice Rice, Beta Gamma Alice Neihardt Rice joined the Beta Gamma Chapter at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. Through her sophomore and junior years, she worked at several jobs, balancing her work schedule and chapter meetings. Senior year was spent in summer school and then student teaching in the fall in a city distant from her college chapter. From 1964-66, Alice worked as a Residence Hall Director at Ball State, as well as serving as a chapter advisor for Beta Gamma. She then moved back home to the Phoenix area, where she repeated her service as a chapter advisor, this time for Beta Kappa at Arizona State University, helping with recruitment. Working with the young women in those chapters, advising them about their courses, guiding them in making right decisions
about their college experience were memorable moments for Alice. In 1977, she was able to attend the Kansas City, Missouri Convention. Following teaching jobs in Elkhart and Fort Wayne, Indiana; San Bernardino, California; Heidelberg, Germany, Alice spent 25 years as an elementary teacher in the Scottsdale Unified School District. She taught third grade for 11 years, gifted students kindergarten through sixth grade for 12 years, and fourth grade for two years. She created a Writers’ Club for the students during that time. Her service to the Arizona Education Association spanned many years. She served as delegate-at-large for the Arizona Classroom Teachers organization and gave workshops in many districts in Arizona as a member of the Instructional Teachers Training cadre. She also taught classes through 6
Arizona State University and Arizona Education Association, plus a course for Yavapai Community College in Cottonwood, Arizona.
Alice and her husband adopted a special needs son. She supported her husband, an avid runner and mountain climber, throughout their marriage.
Alice‘s hobbies and interests are varied. She has written for many professional magazines and has been the editor of Joyful Child Journal. Sewing, crafts, reading, hiking, and doll collecting all keep her busy, as well as teaching Sunday school and serving on the Executive Council at her church.
Alice counts as a memorable Sigma moment in her life when her husband passed away and she received cards, gifts of food, and attendance at his memorial service by her Phoenix Alumnae Chapter sisters. She received her Golden Violet Award with these sisters at their 2017 Founders Day celebration.
Anne Locke, Kappa Anne Holaday Locke was initiated into Kappa Chapter of Tri Sigma at Miami University, Ohio in 1966. She held the office of Vice President of her pledge class and was a leader in the cooperative Tri Sigma/Panhellenic rush to support the Kappa Chapter. Her original occupation was teaching, but she took her writing skills to many other areas. She wrote for newspapers in St. Louis and Washington and transferred her communication skills to NCR (National Cash Register) for 16 years. During that time, she received several awards from the Dayton Area United Way for campaign communications, and from IABC (International Association of Business Communicators) for NCR Communication programs and publications, including the Gold Quill Award of Merit and the highest award, the Gold Quill Award of Excellence. She rose to Director, International Communications for the NCR Corporation. Tri Sigma has remained a part of Anne’s life, and she used her love of writing as a member of the Publications Department under Phyllis Seidler McIntyre, Beta Zeta and Omega, during the 1970s. Among other topics, she wrote about how important it is to keep a positive image of every collegiate chapter. The year 1977 saw Anne at Tri Sigma’s Chicago Convention. She has been a member of the Dayton Alumnae Chapter since
1981, serving as its president as well as that of the Dayton Area Alumnae Panhellenic. Prior to settling in Dayton, Anne also belonged to alumnae chapters in Wisconsin and Northern Virginia. In 1998, she was honored as a Centennial Woman of Distinction. After retiring from NCR, and with both of her parents aging, Anne became what she says is an “advocate for older people.” She has been the chair of the Conference Committee of the Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education, Committee Chair and Member of the governor-appointed Ohio Senior Civic Engagement Council, and the Aging and Higher Education Advisory Committee. She is currently Coordinator, College for Lifelong Learning, Sinclair Community College in Dayton, working with “older” students. Anne says that wherever she has gone, there has always been a welcoming and accepting alumnae chapter. The Dayton alumnae most certainly appreciate her as one of their Golden Violet members.

Barbara Nordberg, Beta Pi Barbara Schmidt Nordberg, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, pledged the Beta Pi Chapter at the University of Wisconsin, Stout as a sophomore. During her freshman year, she had noticed that the chapter had a good reputation on campus, with friendly women involved in school and social activities. While in the chapter, she served as both the junior and senior Panhellenic representative. Upon graduating, she joined the Milwaukee Alumnae Chapter, of which she is still a member. She has served as both secretary and president and assisted the Beta Lambda Chapter as an advisor for several years. As time went on, Barb was also active as a National Officer, including the position of National Ritual Chairperson from 1976 through the early 1980s. She had the special Sigma experience of attending multiple national conventions: 1977 in Chicago, 1980 in Lafayette, 1983 in Philadelphia, and 1986 in Indianapolis. The 1998 Centennial Convention in Tyson’s Corner was perhaps her favorite, like many of her Sigma sisters. Barb received the Alumnae Recognition Award during the 1987-88 academic year. Involved in community/continuing education for many years, she retired in 2011 as the Associate Dean of Basic Education at Waukesha County Technical College. She was the director of the Women’s Development Center,
which aids women in many different areas to improve their life and work skills and situations. She was the Outstanding Teacher there in 1981, was involved in the Leadership Identification Program of Wisconsin Technical College and was one of the Women of Distinction of the Women and Girls Fund in 1990. Barb has been a member of the Greater Waukesha Literacy Board from 2004 to the present, having served as Vice President from 2008-10. She continued her involvement as Board Development Committee member and Chair since 2011. She was secretary and president of the Waukesha Kiwanis Early Risers from 200411 and is active in her Ascension Lutheran Church. Her four grandchildren live nearby, except for the first four months of the year when she and her husband are in Ft. Meyers, Florida! Barb says that among her most memorable Sigma moments are the Beta Pi reunions she has attended for the past 40 years, which have taken place with sisters a few years before or after her college years. What started out as a brunch has turned into a three-day weekend, always right after Mother’s Day. They have met all over Wisconsin, in Chicago, and in the Twin Cities area with some attendees traveling many miles to make this time with Sigma sisters even more special.
Marie Glass and Carolyn Garofalo, Gamma Rho The Spotlights section that appears in the issues of Golden Glimpses usually presents Sigma stories about individual Golden Violets. But, in the case of Marie Buckwalter Glass and Carolyn Miller Garofalo, who were both members of the Gamma Rho Chapter at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania at the same time, it was interesting to see where their Sigma paths had taken them over the years. Marie was a founding member and president of the chapter, and a year ahead of Carolyn and Anne McAleese MacIntyre, who submitted Marie’s Golden
Violet nomination form. Marie lives in the small community of Paradise, Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from Philadelphia, and has not had a nearby alumnae chapter to be involved with over the years. Some special Sigma moments for Marie are when she attended a national convention, spending the night at Walton House on the way, and the opportunity she had to meet and talk with Mabel Lee Walton. She also participated in the charter initiation of her daughter’s chapter at Pennsylvania State University.

Marie is the retired head of the Art Department for the Pequea Valley School District. She volunteers at the Together Community Center to help address a 45% poverty rate in the same district. She is a member of the Paradise Township Lions Club, a Meals on Wheels Board member and volunteer, and enjoys lending her art skills to activities in the community. She supports her eight grandchildren in their sports and school events. A lovely connection with Tri Sigma is the cottage industry that she has raising and selling African violets.
Marie Glass include more time for Carolyn Garofalo exercise and cooking classes and spending next winter in sunny Florida instead of chilly Virginia. She is active in her church and a variety of community organizations. The Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter keeps her busy as philanthropy chairman, working with the satellite office of a children’s hospital in Fairfax, Virginia. She still fondly remembers welcoming everyone at the opening ceremony of the 1998 Centennial Convention in her role as the local alumnae chapter president and as head of the decorations committee. Having her Northern Virginia alumnae sisters supporting her was very special.
Carolyn, who joined Gamma Rho because she felt an immediate connection with the women there, eventually moved to Great Falls, Virginia, where she and her husband, Tom, raised their two sons. They now have two grandchildren. She joined the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter, was Vice President from 1981-82, and president in 1983 and then again in 1998. She attended the Philadelphia Convention in 1983 as the delegate, where she received the Alumna Recognition Award, and was the decorations chairman in 1998 at the Centennial Convention in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia. That same year she was named Outstanding Alumna of the Region.
Carolyn and Marie were able to reunite in the summer of 2017 at Gamma Rho’s 50th anniversary celebration. Both Golden Violets have made Sigma a part of their lives, both in actions and in their hearts.
For 24 years, Carolyn has been a teacher at Andrew Chapel Preschool in Vienna, Virginia. She plans to retire at the end of this school year. Retirement plans
Margaret Jo (Peggy) Gamble, Alpha Sigma Margaret Jo (Peggy) Gamble, Alpha Sigma and Central Florida Alumnae Chapter, may be slightly short in stature, but she is an absolute giant when it comes to serving her sorority. A resume of her local and national involvement takes two full pages. Now even as a Golden Violet, nothing has changed. She is presently serving as president of the Daytona Beach Area Alumnae Chapter and is on the planning committee for a 2018 Florida State Day. A graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, where she served as chapter Treasurer for two terms, she went on several years later to serve on Executive Council as National Treasurer from 1986-89. Before that she was a National Collegiate Chairman, attending many regional meetings and state days, as well as 11 national conventions either as a National Officer or as an alumnae chapter delegate. She was on the centennial committee for the 100th Anniversary Convention in Tyson’s Corner in 1998 and has served as chairman of the nominating committee for the Dallas convention and of the resolutions committee in 1995 in San continued 9
Francisco. Peggy lent her magic touch to the decorations committee for the 2013 Orlando Convention. Walton House saw Peggy as a board member and treasurer, as well as an attendee at the 25th and 40th Anniversary celebrations there. Her incredible list of service to Tri Sigma has been recognized by several awards through the years: Alumna Recognition, Alumna of the Region, the Steadfast Alumna Award, and a very special one: Founders Award. This is a Triennial award which recognizes those members who have made a “significant contribution to the growth and development of Sigma Sigma Sigma.” It honors women who have carried the Founders’ vision of high ideals and lasting sisterhood into the future. Gamble is a true example of someone who has given back to her sorority on many levels through the years putting her talents and energy to work making our sisterhood stronger and making her Sigma sisters so very proud. Ann Buchler Williams, Gamma Eta, past National President, shared her thoughts about Peggy recently, “We were born in different states and attended different colleges. Peggy and I met in National Service. I consider her my good friend, and she is one of Sigma’s gifts to me.” In addition to her local Sigma efforts, Peggy is involved with the Friends of the Library and Meals on Wheels. She has been an internal auditor of Volusia County, Florida and is interested in genealogy and murder mysteries. She lists as a most memorable Sigma moment as when she attended her first Alpha Sigma meeting.
Carla Lange, Beta Xi Carla Helfrich Lange attended Southeast Missouri State University, where she joined the Beta Xi Chapter. While there, she was the chapter treasurer, house manager, as well as the chair for several other committees. Her mother had belonged to a local sorority and had shared with Carla how special the friendship was among her college friends. Carla received an open bid to Beta Xi and had a very special Sigma as her pledge educator, Mimi Brandt Hiner, Past National President, Beta Xi and Omega. A special Sigma moment for Carla came before her January 1968 initiation. Her mother gave her a jewelry box from the Balfour Company, who was the official jeweler of the sorority at the time. In the box was a check for $50 so that Carla could purchase her Tri Sigma badge, which had taken her mother some time to save for. After graduation, Carla was a field secretary, which was the forerunner of the present-day chapter consultant. She traveled as far south as Thibodaux, Louisiana while visiting the Gamma Pi chapter there. Returning to the St. Louis area, she worked as an inside sales representative of the St. Louis Pipe and
Supply Company, from which she retired in 2006. She became involved with the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter and received its President’s Award in 2005 after serving as president and treasurer. She has been involved with the Ebenezer United Church of Christ on various committees over the years, and enjoys reading, traveling, and visiting local wineries. Carla’s first convention was in Minneapolis in 2010. She says that she was extremely impressed and very moved when she had the opportunity to attend a Triangle Degree ceremony and witness the Honor Initiate being welcomed into the sorority. She says, “There were over 600 women in one room and it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop!” Participating in the Circle Degree was also part of her convention experience. Now she looks forward to being an active Golden Violet with her St. Louis Sigma sisters. 10

I love sometimes swing like axes in the air the timber of words colliding crashing to the ground often their hands dress in intricate rings labyrinths of silver and gold lines binding their lives in place the stones buttons to the heart moving they make shapes

bowls come from the womb of their hands my grandmother’s hands were the first hands I watched snapping beans hanging clothes on the frozen rope mending socks the veins of her hands stood up strong as her life blue as her eyes the hands of these women webs the room each hand a map a guide some highway to follow their hands peel back the skin of night sometimes their hands hold mine
