The 2002-04 International Executive Board was installed during Convention 2002 in Tucson,Ariz., in June. Following are remarks from incoming International President Crista CateVasina (D-Northern Colorado) during her inaugural speech.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be your presi-dent. That is one of the greatest gifts of this organization: AlphaPhi offers women opportunities beyond their own dreams.

I’ll never forget the first time I walked through NorthernColorado (D) chapter’s doors. I knew within the first fewminutes it was the place for me. It wasn’t the furniture or the deco-rations; it was the women with whom I connected. Throughoutmy time at UNC, relationships and support from sisters began toshape my future. Alpha Phi gave me the opportunity to grow as a

leader. I learned from those who preceded me and those with whom I had the privilegeto serve. But even then, I had no idea the depth of support Alpha Phi had to offer.

As an organization, Alpha Phi is continuously changing to remain current in ourfast-paced world. What has not changed is Alpha Phi’s purpose, set forth by ourFounders: the promotion of growth in character, unity of feeling, sisterly affection andsocial communion. Alpha Phi is sisters banded together seeking the highest ideals ofwomanhood. It is women supporting each other in the pursuit of their dreams. It is asister to turn to in good times and bad. It is a place to grow and a place to fail. Eachof us has a story about Alpha Phi’s role in making us the women we are today.

I believe we all have the responsibility to reach out to sisters and encouragethem to take advantage of the opportunities our organization offers, just as AlphaPhis from our past encouraged and mentored us. My chapter adviser, AnnSierlecki Lacefield (D-Northern Colorado), steered me toward a path of leader-ship within my chapter. It was her faith and support in me that opened doors tothe benefits I have received from Alpha Phi.

We, your 2002-04 IEB, serve today in part because of the Alpha Phi sisters whoencouraged us. We are very proud to have the opportunity to lead the Fraternityand are committed to work together to continue to strengthen our organization. Ilook forward to learning, growing, debating and laughing with this very talentedgroup of women. Each of us brings our own unique perspective to the IEB andcollectively, I’m confident we can represent you, our members.

We are fortunate that the leaders before us looked to the future and set forth apositive direction. The 2000-02 IEB worked diligently to strengthen and improveour organization, as did those who came before them. We thank them.

Our Board is fortunate to work with a wonderful Foundation Board ofDirectors and partner with a fantastic Executive Office staff.

On behalf of the 2002-04 IEB, thank you for the trust you place in us. BettyMullins Jones (-DePauw), 1970-74 International President and long-time NPCdelegate, charged all Alpha Phis “to be the custodians and guardians of all that haspreceded you … more than this, you must improve and advance Alpha Phi.” Weare committed, with your support, to be the custodians and visionaries necessary tomove Alpha Phi into the future.

If you would like to refer a sister to the Executive Director Search Committee, please contact

International President Crista Cate Vasina (-Northern Colorado) at cvasina@alphaphi.org.

Executive Director résumé submissions will be accepted until Oct. 25, 2002.

Alpha Phi’s history dates back 130 years — thefourth women’s organization to be estab-

lished in what had been a male-onlyfraternal world. In fact, the reason Alpha

Phi is a fraternity rather than sorority is theterm “sorority” did not exist yet in 1872. Itwas not created until a decade later.

In an effort to capture this classic and legendary aspect ofAlpha Phi’s heritage while simultaneously portraying the forward-thinking proactivity of the organization and its members, AlphaPhi International embarked on an image campaign. TheFraternity’s new tagline, Timeless Tradition. Contemporary Vision.Always Alpha Phi, and logo were introduced in the Winter 2002Quarterly (view the story online at www.alphaphi.org/alpha_phi_library/recentissues_public.html).

The goal of the new image, in addition to conveying aconsistent look and message for all Alpha Phi communications,is to remember our past while looking forward to lead and exceltoday and into the future.

Throughout this issue, we reflect on the heritage that led us tothe position we are in today, an international fraternity boasting 143collegiate chapters, 150 alumnae chapters, 152,041 members and aFoundation that provided $635,000 in charitable gifts last year.

Since our Founders’ original vision, Alpha Phi and hermembers have been forward-thinking in every era. From theOriginal Ten and first Alumna Initiate Frances E. Willard, AlphaPhis have always been visionaries (visit www.alphaphi.org/about_alpha_phi/famousphis.html to read about our Founders,Frances E. Willard and other alumnae of distinction). ThisQuarterly is a tribute to those Alpha Phis who preceeded us and tothose who have yet to join.

Recruitment Then and NowRecruitment was an “informal” process during Alpha Phi’s firstyears in the sense that no uniform recruitment practices andstandards were observed until 1902 with the creation of the first

interfraternity association and the first intergroup organizationon college campuses - what today is known as the NationalPanhellenic Conference (NPC). There were no set guidelines forrecruitment and pledging an organization: women could bepledged to groups before enrolling in college and could evenbelong to more than one group. NPC established the recruit-ment guidelines we know today; many established at their firstmeeting are still in practice today.

The recruitment process of bids and pledging emergedduring the 1920s, and Greek life experienced heightened popu-larity from the 1920s to 1960s, with the exception of the WorldWar II era. The golden age for the Greek system was realizedduring the 1950s when membership reached record highs. Bythis time, the system of formal recruitment similar to today’shad been established, including a formal recruitment week heldat the beginning of the school year.

Recruitment dropped significantly in 1971, partially the resultof the counter-culture movements of the 1960s. At the end of the1970s, the number of students going through formal recruitmentincreased again, with another significant boom in the early 1990s.

Recruitment terminology remained virtually the same untilthe 1990s when NPC implemented new terms to present amore professional impression to those outside the Greek world.Recruitment replaced the term “rush,” a “pledge” is now a newmember, “rushees” are now potential members and “bid cards”are formal membership recruitment acceptance forms. (Visit theNational Panhellenic Conference Web site at www.npcwomen.orgfor more information.)

Recruitment trends have evolved with time, but its principlesremain the same. The process has always been based on thepremise of “wowing” potential members with conversation andfriendship. And the same qualities are sought in sisters today asin 1872.

Timeless Tradition, Contemporary Vision: Remembering the Heritage of Alpha Phi

The Alpha Phi Foundation plays a larger role in recruitmenttoday. Most collegiate chapters incorporate a philanthropy

event/party during recruitment activities. To assist chapterswith successful philanthropy recruitment, the Foundation

collaborated with the Fraternity to create a new philan-thropy recruitment brochure, Ideas from the Heart. For

1902 Convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Syracuse (A) 1908

Alpha Phi Foundation Then and NowAlpha Phi Foundation, founded in 1956, is one of the oldest Greekfoundations for women. Today, it’s also one of the top women’s foun-dations. In celebration of its 46 years of growth and success, here’s alook at the way things were … and the way they are today.

The History of the Alpha Phi BadgeWhat would a sorority be without a sorority pin? Our Foundersrealized this, and at that first Fraternity meeting, Sept. 30, 1872,they appointed a committee of two to “find out as much aspossible about pins and also select something for us.”

By Oct. 18, a design had been selected and a dozen pinsordered at a cost of $5.00 each.

The design settled upon was a monogram, “Alpha” superimposedon “Phi.” Alpha Phi was the first women’s fraternity to select amonogram badge, which came to characterize most women’s frater-nities founded in the East. (Emblem pins for the most part came tocharacterize those groups founded in the Midwest or South.)

The earliest Alpha Phi badges were cut in one piece of flat goldand unjeweled. Other early badges were set with turquoises toshow our Fraternity colors, which were at the time blue and gold.

No uniform design was determined so there was considerablestyle variation in the first few decades. Size, chasing and settingof jewels was left to individual taste, and a member commis-sioned her own jeweler to make her badge.

Almost always, the letter “Phi” was placed horizontal to the“Alpha” in the revered Lazy Phi style. This design may have beenintended to distinguish the Alpha Phi badge from a men’s frater-nity badge familiar at the time. A small guard pin with the chap-ter letter was added by some.

The 1894 Convention voted that the official badge have a chased“Phi” and a plain or jeweled “Alpha.” If jeweled, the national stone,which at the time was the ruby, should be used without a crownsetting. Members seemed not to heed to this directive.

One of the earliest bits of Fraternity lore which survivesconcerns Founders Louise Shepard Hancock (A-Syracuse) andClara Sittser Williams (A-Syracuse), who were both repri-manded in chapter meeting for “giving or lending their badges togentlemen.” This custom continued to prevail for decades.

For many years, pins were worn according to each member’sfancy, at the neck, on a collar or at the bosom. Then in 1904,

RED, WHITE AND BLUE WORN BY A FEWWe’re intrigued! At some point in the past, a few badges were producedwith the “Alpha” enameled in blue and set with rubies and pearls. Werethese worn by your chapter members? Do you have any information aboutthem? If so, please contact Alpha Phi Historian Margaret Knights Hultsch(BN-Duke, P-Ohio State, B-Northwestern and O-Missouri) in care of theExecutive Office, 1930 Sherman Ave., Evanston, IL 60201 or 847.475.0663.

The Foundation was set up as a trust; itspurpose was to award grants from scholar-ship and cardiac aid funds.

In the early days, Directors of the Foundationalso served as Fraternity officers.

Martha Watkins Mast not only headed theboard for 12 years, but also created mailingpieces and solicitations.

Honor, memorial, new arrival andFoundation “Wishing You Well” cards wereintroduced in 1985.

In 1981, Upsilon chapter held a successfulCardiac Arrest fundraising event.

During the early 1980s, women complainedabout being addressed by their husband’snames in solicitations.

In 1982, the Foundation raised $132,107from Alpha Phi members.

$10,000 in scholarships was awarded in1976.

The Forget-Me-Not Fund was established in1979 to help aged and/or disabled membersin need. Four years later, Emergency Aid, acollegiate assistance program, was estab-lished.

In 1997, supporting the NationalPanhellenic Conference’s Year of theScholar, the Foundation established itsProfessor of the Year Award.

The Foundation received income of $23,449 in 1978.

Today, it’s a successful organization. Twopriorities remain: to encourage and recog-nize superior scholarship and supportwomen’s cardiac health. The Foundationalso funds programs that provide leader-ship and educational opportunities, educatewomen about philanthropy and assistmembers in need.

The Fraternity and Foundation each havetheir own board of directors. In addition,the IEB president serves on theFoundation’s board and the Foundationchairman attends IEB meetings.

An executive director and a full-time,professional staff of three Alpha Phisfundraise, create publications and appeals,manage gifts and ethically handle allprograms of the Foundation.

Alpha Phis can buy packages of honor,memorial and new arrival cards, or simplymake donations of $15 or more to honorspecial events, friends or sisters. These gifts are also listed in the Annual Reportof Donors.

Today, Foundation directors include first and maiden names of alumnae incorrespondence.

In 2002, the Foundation raised nearly$820,000 from members.

This year, $92,000 in scholarships wasawarded.

The Foundation continues to providethousands of dollars each year tocollegiate and alumnae sisters in need ofemergency assistance.

President Genevra Gwynn Wiley (A-Syracuse) asked that a pin beworn solely as a badge over the heart. This became the customwhich some chapters still use today — although it is just that, acustom, not a practice specified in the Fraternity Constitution.

The traditional wearing of the badge was challenged in thelate 1950s when Edith Huey Shelton (B-Northwestern), a tonywoman from the fashionable Chicago North Shore and amember of the International Executive Board, mounted herbadge on an imposing disc and wore it as a bangle bracelet.The thought was that this innovation would give alumnae anopportunity to display their badges when they had little otherincentive to do so. Today, of course, the badge may be worn as abracelet, as a ring, as a lavaliere — as one pleases.

Then in 1971, in the midst of an anti-fraternity era,International President Betty Mullins Jones (-DePauw)invited members to again wear their badges anywhere on theirclothing as the early sisters did. What was most important aboutthe badge, said Betty, was to wear it.

As for the design of the badge, as charming as the uniqueLazy Phi badges seem to us today, some critics fretted that theywere overly decorative and frivolous, trivializing the dignifiednature of the Fraternity. The standard badge we now wear wasapproved at the 1906 Convention. The die for the badge was

completed in 1908. A plain badge was approved for wear bycollegians and one with white jewels for alumnae and collegiatedress wear.

Former Fraternity Trustee Ruth Himmelman Wright (-Washington) recalls that a major issue among collegians at the1946 Convention was obtaining permission to wear the jeweledbadge in the daytime rather than restricting it to evening dresses.Permission was granted.

So many were entranced by the antique Lazy Phi badge whendisplayed that members were given an opportunity in the early1960s to readopt the old style. The proposal was voted on inConvention and rejected, however. Collegians, especially,preferred to use the antique style solely as an honor badge,which is the current practice.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR BADGE?Your badge represents much more than a pin of gold. It represents somany Alpha Phi memories — your initiation, the day you pinned it on yourlittle sister, Founders' Day events, graduation and so much more. Topreserve all that your Alpha Phi badge means to you, it is important toplan for its future so it stays in the Alpha Phi family and doesn't turn upfor sale by a non-Alpha Phi collector.

Our Alpha Phi badges "belong" to us in a special way. The FraternityConstitution stipulates that a badge remain in the possession of a memberin good standing for her lifetime. But after death, ownership reverts to theFraternity. Exceptions are if the family of the deceased member desires tokeep it or if it is given to the member's collegiate chapter or to anotherAlpha Phi sister.

Please help preserve your Alpha Phi memories by planning for yourbadge's future. Members are encouraged to report stolen badges to localpolice. It is also recommended that Alpha Phis either provide in their willsor tag badges with instructions regarding their eventual disposition.

More than 500 Alpha Phis andguests gathered under thewelcoming Tucson, Ariz., sunJune 26-30 for the Fraternity’s64th Biennial Convention.The Westin La Paloma Resortand Spa, an award-winningresort surrounded by breath-taking desert and mountainscenery, provided the perfectsetting to relax, rediscoverAlpha Phi, reunite with sistersand meet new friends fromacross North America.

The four-day event focused on much more than just the busi-ness of the Fraternity, says Director of Training and DevelopmentDenise Jung Reens (E-Northern Illinois). “Each biennium, wetry to incorporate innovative and exciting activities to attractmore members, not just those alumnae and collegiate delegateswho are required to attend.” She says a men’s golf outing formale guests, reunions of non-delegate alumnae and activitiesfor families and children were all part of Convention 2002 (seesidebars).

The Alpha Phi Foundation debuted its Move Your Phi’t 5KHeart Walk/Run, and special programs were held separately forchapter advisers, recruitment advisers and house corporationboard members (see sidebars).

Similarly to Conventions past, the event featured educationaltracks for both alumnae and collegiate delegates and advisers,awards ceremonies (see page 10), Order of the Ivy reception for

former and present traveling consultants, initiation, CandlelightBanquet and captivating keynote speakers and presenters.

Move Your Phi’tAlpha Phis and guests fought off sleep to fight against women’sheart disease by participating in Alpha Phi Foundation’s first MoveYour Phi’t 5K Walk/Run. Saturday’s 6 a.m. event raised more than$12,000 for the Foundation thanks to the 200 participants whoeither walked or ran the scenic course and the many people whodonated to the Foundation in their name. Participants requestedsupport in the form of pledges from friends, family and Alpha Phisisters prior to the event. Each walker or runner received a MoveYour Phi’t visor, donated by Foundation Board Member AlinHernandez Wall (B-UCLA).

Raising the most money for the Foundation through the event –each with more than $2,000 in donations – were alumnae TriciaLee McNabb (B-San Jose State) and Suzanne Tenney (EQ-UC/Davis). Collegians Rachel Pfeiffenberger (-St. Joseph’s)and Megan Green ( -UC/Berkeley) ran the course in less than 25minutes to win the race. All four winners received subscriptions toHealth magazine from the Foundation.

Bishop’s (GV) collegians are credited with the idea for theMove Your Phi’t theme. Collegiate and alumnae chapters can easilyadapt the Move Your Phi’t concept to use as a chapter fundraiser.For more information, call the Foundation at 847.475.4532.

Convention 2002: Tucson Sun Shines on Alpha Phi

Rush University 2002June 28-30 marked the third installment of Rush University, an intensive trainingprogram for the Fraternity’s recruitment advisers. The agenda featured mock recruit-ment parties and included fundamental workshops on rushing strength, member-ship selection and year-round recruitment. New segments, chapter health andchapter identity, were added to assist recruitment advisers in determining the over-all positioning of a chapter. Each adviser met with her region’s collegiate member-ship coordinator at the conclusion of the weekend, using the program’s teachings to

create a plan for her chapter for the upcoming year.Nearly 50 advisers and the Fraternity’s educational

leadership consultants received invaluable training fromstaff members Megan Bouché (E-Minnesota), KeriMiller (∆P-Ball State) and Linda Schnetzer (BO-Bowling Green State); Collegiate MembershipCoordinators Laura Davidson (B∆-UCLA), MelissaDeere (ΘN-Appalachian State), Aileen Melick Fischer(∆H-Adrian), Kate Boyle Halfon (H∆-CSU/Hayward),

Andrea Sabo Luker (EN-Delaware), Liz Lowe Oltman (ΘT-Rensselaer), AmyJordan Tvrdik (O-Missouri) and Stephanie Johnson Watson (ZE-Indiana U.Southeast); Canadian Resource Coordinator Joanne Alexopoulos ( -Toronto) andMembership Standing Committee Chair Laura Malley-Schmitt (ZΦ-MIT).

Participant evaluations from the weekend continuedto endorse the Fraternity’s recruitment adviser trainingprograms, declaring Rush University a success andproviding valuable feedback for future workshops.To date, 75 percent of our chapters have senta representative to at least one RushUniversity. The next opportunity to partici-pate is July 2003.Watch your e-mail andchapter mailings for details.

Also during Convention 2002, Foundation Chairman SusanBrink Sherratt (BB-Michigan State) honored the Foundation’s topcollegiate and alumnae chapter donors. Loyola Marymount (FB)took top honors, raising almost $40,000 during the 2002 bien-nium. Santa Clara (F) took second place, raising more than$27,000 to benefit the Foundation this biennium.

Foundation program awards, including International Professorof the Year and the Cardiac Care Award, were announced duringConvention Assembled and the Foundation-sponsored heart-healthy luncheon. (Read more about Foundation awards on page12) Following the awards program, Los Angeles-based singer/song-writer Kat Parsons (B-Northwestern) entertained the crowd. (Formore information about Kat, visit www.katparsons.com.)

Educational TracksThe Convention 2002 collegiate and alumnae tracks coveredtopics such as recruitment, philanthropy event ideas, the NationalPanhellenic Conference’s alcohol-free initiative, alumnaePanhellenic involvement, volunteering and emerging issues ontoday’s college campuses.

Director of Alumnae Membership Cindy Day Erwin says, “Wewere pleasantly surprised at the increase in alumnae attendingprograms compared to Convention 2000.”

HCB SeminarA very successful house corporation board (HCB) seminar was held onSunday, June 30, following the completion of regular Convention program-ming. Thirty HCB volunteers and house directors (and even one collegiatemember) representing more than 20 chapters enjoyed a jam-packed day oflearning and sharing. Sessions included a discussion of the current Alpha Phimaster insurance policy, trends in university housing, explanation of housingcontracts, annual HCB presentation to the chapter, communicating with colle-giate members, and dealing with house directors and other employees. Itprovided a great opportunity for HCB members to connect with other hous-ing volunteers and to communicate best practices. In addition, a new HCBManual was distributed to all attendees. Well-trained house corporationboards are a critical factor in Alpha Phi’s success. Significant positive feed-back from seminar attendees demonstrates a desire to schedule additionalhousing seminars in the future.

Facilitators for the seminar included DePauw (Γ) Chapter Adviser and MJInsurance Representative Lisa Janes Ripley (∆P-Ball State), USC (BΠ) HCBPresident and IEB Member Lindsay Wiggins (BΠ-USC), CSU/Chico (ΘY)HCB President Julie Conkin Sportelli (BΠ-USC); San Jose State (BΨ) HCBPresident Suzanne Tenney (EP-UC/Davis), Cornell (∆) HCB President JaneTanner (∆-Cornell) and EO Director of Training & Development Denise JungReens (E∆-Northern Illinois). The seminar was coordinated by EO Director ofFinance Cathy Koessl (AΛ).

“You have to learn to believe in what you’re fighting for andhammer away at it,” she says. “The key to life … is to be the bestyou can possibly be – at any age.”

Sachi also moderated an open forum that afternoon forcollegiate delegates and advisers regarding the media and howAlpha Phi’s collegiate chapters can work with their local media toavoid sticky situations. “Court your media,” Sachi says. “Keepinviting them over. Write press releases [about the chapter’s posi-tive activities]. It becomes personal. It’s good business networkingon college and any level.”

Erin Weed (FA-Eastern Illinois), founder of the Girls FightBack self-defense program, combined lecture and optional inter-active self-defense training to inspire collegiate delegates andadvisers to fight for themselves in all areas of their lives. Herprogram, which empowers women to trust their intuition andprotect themselves against violence, was created in memory ofAlpha Phi Sister Shannon McNamara (FA-Eastern Illinois).Shannon was murdered while fighting off an attacker in her off-campus home in June 2001. The Girls Fight Back program waslaunched at Eastern Illinois University on Sept. 25, 2001, and

Erin has taken it across the country. It incorporates three majorlines of defense: preventative protection, trusting yourself andyour intuition, and physical self-defense. Erin says the mostimportant lesson she teaches women regarding the program is“Never ever doubt yourself.” (Visit www.alphaphi.org andwww.girlsfightback.com for more information.)

WERE YOU, OR ARE YOU?

When a friend or relative mentions to you that they belong to a sorority or

fraternity, which of the following phrases do you use to reply?

“Oh, I was an Alpha Phi!” or “Oh, I am an Alpha Phi!”

The seemingly subtle difference between the two responses communicates an

important message, that either your Alpha Phi experience ended when you

graduated from college, or that your Alpha Phi experience lives on today.

Women’s Work: How Careers EvolvedBy Natalie Lundsteen

Until the late 1800s “women’s work” couldn’t be termed “careers,” but very slowly the female work-

place evolved from textile mills and factories to hospitals and schools, banks and businesses, politics

and government. The opportunities to access higher education are at last boundless, and today the

sky is truly the limit in terms of career opportunities for women. (Wage equality, however, is

another matter.) To review how far we’ve advanced, the following facts speak for themselves.

During the Convention 2002 collegiate awards cere-mony (see page 10), two chapter advisers receivedmuch-deserved recognition for service totheir respective collegiate chapters whenAlpha Phi International named themOutstanding Chapter Advisers for the2000-02 biennium. Monica Jolly (F-Santa Clara), chapter adviser toWashington (), received the bordeauxlevel (campuses with eight or morePanhellenic groups) award. Jaime AlsupRyberg (-Northeast Missouri State)received the award at the silver level (basedon seven or fewer Panhellenic groups on acampus) for her service to WashingtonUniversity (FT).

Chapters submitted completed nomi-nation forms by March 2002 to be eligi-ble for the award.

“Jaime has established a successfulbalance between guiding us and allowingus to figure things out on our own,” saysZeta Upsilon Chapter PresidentMackinnon Webster. “Her deep under-standing and knowledge of Alpha Phi practices madethe year so much easier for the entire executive coun-cil. Mostly, Jaime deserves to be recognized becauseof her hard work and commitment.”

Mackinnon continues, “This semester could havebeen especially challenging because all but one ofour executive council members were sophomores.We needed extra guidance, commitment and

patience. Jaime has been amazing in helping us notonly meet, but surpass our goals and expectations.

By establishing open communicationand exercising full support, Jaime passedher knowledge onto us and eased ourtransition into the chapter’s leaders. I feelcomfortable bringing any issue to herattention.”

Sigma Chapter President ChristieLindgren says, “Monica has been facedwith many challenges over the past twoyears. When she came to Sigma, she wasthe only adviser. She recruited enoughalumnae to completely fill empty positionsand rebuild the advisory board. Monica’srelationship with the other advisers is astrong one. She makes sure they are well-informed of chapter events and organizestraining and group meetings.”

“She also had to resolve a number ofdifficult issues within the chapter,including those involving alcohol andhazing,” Christie adds. “She helpedguide and support our executive council

through these challenges to a successful resolution.”“Specific qualities were evident in the nomina-

tions for both of these women,” says ProgramManager of Collegiate Operations Laura GarrawayCaulfield (E-Iowa). “Their willingness to goabove and beyond the duties of their positions,supportiveness, dependability and availability wereall common to both nominations. These are impor-tant qualities in any adviser.”

According to Director of Collegiate MembershipLinda Long Boland (J-CSU/Long Beach), “Theprocess of choosing a winner was tough because wereceived several outstanding nominations. It provesthat Alpha Phi International is fortunate to havededicated alumnae mentors who serve our collegiatechapters across North America. We thank all ouradvisers!”

Congratulations Monica and Jaime. Alpha PhiInternational salutes you!

Alpha Phi Celebrates NPC CentennialAlpha Phi’shistory in theNationalPanhellenicConference(NPC) traces toits beginning.Exactly 100years ago,

Alpha Phi called the 1902 meeting that led to the foundingof NPC.

At the turn of the 20th century, recruitment was chaotic.Where freshmen arrived at colleges and universities via trains,sorority members waited a few stations prior, boarded thetrains and pledged new members on the spot. There were evencases of women joining two sororities.

In 1900, Margaret Mason (Whitney), who had justgraduated from Michigan (Θ), was elected national presi-dent of Alpha Phi. Dismayed at the frenzied recruitmentpractices, she called a meeting of sorority representatives inChicago in May 1902 to discuss regulating recruitment.Attending the meeting were representatives of Kappa KappaGamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, DeltaDelta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Phi. The delegatesvoted to continue meeting annually, and thus was born theIntersorority Conference, which later changed its name to theNational Panhellenic Conference.

This was the first permanent inter-Greek organization.The corresponding men’s organization, now called theNorth American Interfraternity Conference, was not foundeduntil 1909.

Officers of NPC serve in rotation based on the year inwhich their organization joined NPC. Sally McCall Grant(Γ-DePauw) is Alpha Phi’s third chairman, serving 2001-03.Previous chairmen were Cora Allen McElroy (B-North-western), 1911-12, and Margaret Coshun Hutchinson(Ψ-South Dakota), 1953-54.

Rebecca Andrew Zanatta (BQ-WashingtonState) was named Foundation executivedirector after Nancy Owen Craig (BV-

Bucknell) retired at the end of May.Foundation Manager of Public RelationsEmily Ellison Lamb (I-Texas Tech) spokewith Rebecca about the beginning of hercareer, the Foundation’s future and movingacross the country from Seattle to Chicago.

You love Chicago …Yes! I traveled as an educational leadershipconsultant (ELC) for the Fraternity, so Ihad the opportunity to see a little of thecity during our training. When I receivedthe offer to work for the Foundation, myfiancé Jeff and I jumped at the chance tomove. I had just finished my graduatework at the University of Idaho, and Jeffwas working in Seattle. We rented aPenske® truck and took a tour of theWestern U.S. as we drove to Chicago.

Now Chicago is home and Jeff isn’tyour fiancé anymore?He’s my husband now! We were married inApril on a beach in Hawaii. It was gorgeous.After our honeymoon, we had a receptionin Seattle, where we both grew up. Therewere lots of Alpha Phis there.

How did you join Alpha Phi?By chance. Alpha Phi was my second choice.I think I was upset at first, probably becauseit was the first time in my life I didn’t getwhat I wanted. I often share this storybecause as it turned out, Alpha Phi was the

perfect place for me. I was a chapter officerfor Washington State (BQ) and thenelected a Panhellenic officer.

And the Foundation executive directorwas born …Not exactly! I have always been interestedin development and higher education – agood fit for Alpha Phi Foundation. As astudent at Washington State, I worked as acampus calling center representative, solicit-ing alumnae donors. During my time there,I raised more than $70,000 and developeda donor contact system that is still usedtoday. When I was doing my graduate workat the University of Idaho, I volunteered forthe university development office. Now Ihave my CFRM (certificate of fund raisingmanagement) from the Indiana School ofPhilanthropy, management experience andtwo years of mentoring from Nancy Craig,retired Foundation ED.

So you’ve helped build the success ofthe Foundation during the past fewyears?As Foundation manager of development, Iimplemented our Power of 100 program – Ithink the success of this major donorcampaign surprised our membership! In1994 there were only 18 women who gave$1,000 or more. Now we have more than100 women who annually give at least$1,000 to the Foundation. I also began acollegiate phoning program called PhisPhoning Phis that raised more than$20,000. One of my first projects was

creating a partnership with the NationalHeart, Lung and Blood Institute (of theNational Institutes of Health). Recently, Iinitiated Alpha Phi Foundation’s joining ofthe National WomanHeart Coalition.

And I’m ready to watch us grow to thenext level. Our staff is motivated andtalented; we have many more creative ideasto implement. I want to see the Foundationcontinue as a leader in our field.

What are three goals you have forthe Foundation?Develop a major gift strategy, increase ourmembers’ awareness about planned givingopportunities and put Alpha Phi Foundationon the map as an advocate for women’scardiac health.

Sounds like you’ve got big plans …Well, I’m willing to take risks, and I like tochallenge the norm. My job is easier becauseI believe in the cause of the Foundation.I take pride in the fact that we supportour sisters with leadership and scholasticendeavors; I’m a great example of a memberwho directly benefited from these types ofprograms.

Foundation Welcomes New Executive DirectorIt all begin when she was a girl … a Campfire Girl.

It was the annual Campfire Girl candy campaign, and young Rebecca Andrew

was named top seller of her troop.

And so a fundraising career began …

FOUNDATION AWARDS MORE THAN $90,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP AIDAlpha Phi Foundation is proud to continue the Fraternity’s high regard for scholarship and foster the pioneering spirit our Founders held close to

their hearts by awarding scholarship aid to 83 young women. These women received a total of $91,000 for the 2002-03 school year.

Winners were selected among highly competitive applicant pools from graduate and undergraduate universities across the United States and

Canada. Annually, the Foundation’s scholarship committee reads the hundreds of applications received and evaluates them primarily on scholas-

tic achievement, plus campus involvement, community/Alpha Phi service and essay answers. The Foundation Board of Directors approves the

final recipients.

The Foundation sends applications to all collegiate chapters in early fall. Ask your director of scholarship for a copy or call Foundation Coordinator

of Chapter Development and Marketing Kristin Tomala (F-Elmhurst) at 847.316.8949 to request one. You can also download an application

from our Web site at www.alphaphi.org. The deadline for submission of applications for the 2003-04 school year is March 15, 2003.
