A friend once told me there are two kinds of decisions: easy

and difficult. The easy ones are not complicated or confusing,

nor do they add value to your life. However, she noted that

the difficult decisions, unlike easy ones, force you to consider

your values. These, she warned, are the more important kind

of decisions. I learned from this friend that in life, the difficult

decisions require focus. After all, it is these decisions that

shape who we are as people, parents, and as we discuss in the

following articles, professionals.

In this edition of the Quarterly we discuss values-based career choices. This

theme is significant for a number of reasons.

First, I believe Alpha Phi sisters serve as key professional mentors to each other.

Much of the career exposure, professional insight and personal development we

receive come from other Alpha Phi women. I am proud that Alpha Phi facilitates

this mentoring. I hope these articles serve as tools to support this process.

Second, I am pleased that Alpha Phi International Fraternity is helping each of

us clarify our values. As a Fraternity, we educate our members on the importance

of values-based decisions. Considering how our values inform our career choices

and decisions is a logical next step.

Finally, I think it is important that we consider how our careers reflect who

we are and what we believe. I am a mom, volunteer, leader and sister. My values

support how I perform in each of these roles. As a mom, my values shape my

parenting; as a community member, my values demonstrate volunteerism; as

president, my values shape my leadership style; as an Alpha Phi, my values of sister-

hood and service are supported. How do your values shape your career choices?

Values-based decision-making is the hardest kind. But, it is also the most

important. I hope you enjoy the articles inside. I also hope you will join me in

considering how we integrate them.

Also in this edition are reports from our chapters – both alumnae and collegiate. I

know you value the chance to read about the operations of the Fraternity; to that

end, we have included the fiscal year 2004 Annual Report. Enjoy.

Reevaluating Priorities After Family Sickness By Tara Riemer Jones (ZO-Johns Hopkins)

After getting my Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, Ilanded a job at a top strategic management consult-ing firm and was instantly making a six-figure salary.

But it involved a hugeamount of hours andtravel. I worked inBoston and then in NewZealand, travelingalmost every week andworking insane hours. Iliked the work and waslearning a ton, but Ididn’t like the lifestyle itrequired. I was having adifficult time handlingthe stress that never let

up – even on weekends. And my husband (a nativeAlaskan) hated living in big cities.

Then my father-in-law was diagnosed with braincancer and given one to two years to live. Myhusband and I immediately decided to move back toAlaska (where my husband’s family lives), regardlessof what it meant to my career.

We were able to spend time with his family, andwe were with the familylast Christmas when hisdad died. We decided weliked the slower pace andawesome outdoor oppor-tunities in Alaska. Now Imake one-third of what Imade two years ago, but Iabsolutely love my job! Iam totally unstressed, wespend time with family,and I get to watch harborseals and sea lions from

my office window at the Alaska SeaLife Center(Seward).

Also, after many years of volunteering for AlphaPhi during graduate school, I had next to no timefor the Fraternity while consulting. Now that my lifeis quieter, I began the Midnight Sun (Alaska) alum-nae chapter (chartered during the fall) and hope tobe able to contribute much more time!

Sister Pursues a Higher Calling By Noelie Barron Day (∆T-Louisiana State)

One of my favorite Bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11,which states, “For I know the plans I have for you,”declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not toharm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Ibelieve it is God’s plan for me to become a ministerof Word and Sacrament.

I have felt God’s presence in my life ever since Iwas a child. I was most affected, however, when Iwas 17 and a senior in high school. I contracted avery rare syndrome that affected my skin andmucous membranes. I looked like someone hadthrown gasoline on me and then lit a match. I wasin Methodist Hospital (Conroe, Texas) for threeweeks. I remember the associate pastor visiting me atleast three times. That experience was extremelyimportant in my own sense of vocation, then andnow. I witnessed firsthand the way in which peoplebecome instruments of God’s grace, and I felt calledto become a pastor. When I told my father of thiscalling, he said I needed a profession that wouldallow me to support myself.

So I attended Louisiana State University, majoredin accounting and joined the Delta Tau collegiatechapter. I also met my future husband, Mike.

I worked as an auditor for a Big 8 accountingfirm. Auditing and I did not get along so well. Iworked as a COBOL programmer and then as a gascompany accountant.

We received several letters for this issue, some from sisters who left secure jobs and extravagant

lifestyles to spend more time with family, some from those who gave up a steady

paycheck to pursue their dreams. This issue of the Quarterly salutes all sisters who

have chosen to be true to their values when it comes to career choices.

Values-based Career Moves

In 1979, I gave birthto our son Michael andbegan my fourth career:mother. In 1982,Brionne was born. I wasa stay-at-home mom for14 years. Then withupcoming automobileinsurance and collegecosts, it was time to re-enter the paying job

market. I did not want to be an accountant. Iwanted to do something that had the same scheduleas my children. Since I still loved numbers, Ibecame a high school math teacher.

In July 1996 something strangehappened. Mike said, “I think youshould enter seminary.” I looked athim in disbelief and asked, “Are yousure?” He assured me he was. Threedays after this conversation I read anarticle in the Houston Chronicle aboutthe Houston extension branch ofAustin Presbyterian TheologicalSeminary. In addition to teachingmath, I attended seminary on a part-time basis.

In June, Mike and I put our houseon the market, and we moved toAustin. As a 50th birthday present to myself, Ientered seminary on a full-time basis. I have servedas a deacon and an elder. I have been a lay pastorand a Stephen minister. I have sung in church choirsand been a member of a handbell choir. I was one ofthe original organizers of the Kingdom Kid clownministry. I have taught vacation Bible school and anadult Sunday school class. I have led Bible studiesand retreats. My pastor asked me, “Why are you notcontent in doing what you have been doing? Whydid you want to become a minister of Word andSacrament?”

I told him I really could not explain why. It wasjust an inner feeling and urging I had when I preachedfrom the pulpit or helped serve communion. I felt likeI was home. I felt like this is where I belong.

If all goes according to plan, I hope to graduatefrom seminary in May 2006. I will have passedthe ordination exams by the time I graduate andreceive a call to serve in the church sometime insummer 2006.

All this time I thought God was telling me “no”to becoming a pastor, but instead God was saying,“Wait for my timing.”

Son’s Medical Needs Come First By Tracy Weaver Hickman (EΦΛ-NC State)

I graduated with a master of science in substanceabuse and rehabilitation counseling. I first worked asa therapist and in six short years worked my way tomanage the emergency services department in alocal mental health hospital. You could say I wasfast tracking to the top, and I loved my job.

Just about that time, my first son (secondchild) was born. For the first six months of his lifehe was very sick with asthma and allergies. He wasin daycare, and despite good health care and precau-tions, he was unable to stay well. A simple cold or

cough would turn in to a fullcourse of steroids, antibiotics andbreathing treatments. He had twosets of tubes and his adenoidsremoved before the age of 6months. I finally asked my pediatri-cian if taking him out of daycareand caring for him at home wouldhelp. I asked her to tell me thetruth, not what she thought Iwanted to hear. She said he wouldstill get sick, but he would recoverquicker if I stayed home.

For me, there was no question. Iquit my job and stayed home. It hasn’t

been easy, by far, but it is theabsolute best thing I ever did.

Ben still got sick, but instead ofmonths of recovery, he wouldbounce back after only two to threeweeks. Now he is 3 years old, and hisallergies have decreased to only oneor two versus the laundry list fromtwo years ago.

It is really weird to say I havebeen out of the work force for morethan two years. But I stay busy withvolunteer opportunities. I am thepresident of the Charlotte alumnaechapter, and I was recently the presi-dent of the Mom’s Club in my town.I also volunteer for the parks andrecreation committee. It just isn’t in meto sit idly by. I have kept up my certifi-cation and licensure for my profession. I’m not surewhen I will go back full-time since I now have athird child. It would be ideal to work while the chil-dren are at school and be home for them afterschool.

Sister Finds Calling Thanks to Neighbor in NeedBy Christina Mayer Duggan (∆E-Iowa)

I had extensive experience in officeadministration and technical writ-ing, including a master’s degree inbusiness and professional writing.Still, I knew I wasn’t really usingall my talents . . . something wasmissing.

In fall 2001, I met a woman inthe waiting room at a doctor’s office.It turned out she was my neighborwho needed help organizing herthriving business in her home office.Helping her led to my own profes-sional organizing business, Sorting ItOut, begun in January 2002.

I work with clients one-on-one intheir homes or offices to increasetheir efficiency, decrease their stress

and create more pleasant environ-ments. It’s the most rewarding career Ican think of. I’m using my adminis-trative skills, my interviewing skills,my inventiveness and most of all myempathy to help my clients.

We laugh when we find goofy cardsfrom nieces, we cry when we findphotos of relatives who have passed,and we always get things organized! Icould not imagine doing anything elseor being more fulfilled in another career.

Invention Fuels this Phi’s PassionBy Terri Powell (ΓK-CSU/Long Beach)

I was selling software toa large a Microsoft®

income and have to live on savings. I feel my prod-uct is a very worthwhile invention and can help

millions of people not only get intoshape but also rehabilitate themselves.I am working harder doing this thanwhen I had an 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. job.But it is something I love and am will-ing to sacrifice to make happen.

ALUMNA LEAVES CORPORATE JOB TO PURSUEPASSION

After 10 years as a graphic designer, Jennifer DurisNorton (ZΓ-Santa Clara) chose to work for herself andpursue her true passion of art.

“While working, I painted on the side and hadhopes of doing it full-time,” she says. “Once I gavebirth to my daughter, it seemed like the perfect time to

venture out on my own. My painting became verygood once I was able to focus on it. I finally felt like Iwas living in my own skin. The business came naturallyafter that. I was able to begin showing my pieces atsmall shows and then bigger shows, boutiques, etc.”

The support from Jennifer’s husband, Anthony, hasallowed her to run a successful home business. Shehelped him through paramedic school when they werefirst married, and he repaid the favor. “He helps me setup art booths, goes to shows and watches our 6 1/2year old Emma so that I can paint,” says Jennifer.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, there have been two distinct types of jobchangers who have come through my door.

One group is anxious about the economy and turbulence inthe world. They seek security from their job and look for anyposition that will pay the bills and make them feel safe.

The other half is characterized by “Brenda,” who called methree days after Sept. 11 and said, “for whatever time I have leftto work, I want to find a job with an organization that values myabilities and lets me contribute to making this worlda better place.” Others similarly said their prioritieshave changed and they want to find a worthwhileposition that enables them to contribute at workwhile keeping their family or personal life as theirtop priority.

We have the good fortune to live in the U.S. wherewe have choices about the work we do. Some of us arelucky enough to know what our heart is telling us todo next. But I have witnessed how people consistentlyfeel dissatisfied, unhappy and even self-loathing whentheir hearts have spoken to them and they don’t listen.On the other hand, we feel embarrassed, inadequateand lost because we cannot answer the question,“what is our passion, mission or purpose.” Becomforted by the fact that most workers do not knowthe answer to that question.

Finding passion, mission, purposeMost of us want to be happy at work, but don’t know whatmakes us happy and therefore, are clueless as to what job to lookfor that will bring about personal satisfaction.

The first step in discovering what makes us happy is to iden-tify our special talents and gifts. Second, locate an organizationthat needs these gifts, will honor and respect them and compen-sate us appropriately.

Ways to find out who you are and what makes you happy:• Find a career counselor who specializes in identifying gifts

and talents in addition to the usual personality, interestsand skills determinations (assessments are usually involved).

• Read and complete the exercises in any of the dozens ofbooks about career change. Choose a career developmentbook that you connect with. (Zen and the Art of Makinga Living by Laurence Boldt is a personal favorite.)

• Work with state employment and training offices.• Contact your college alumnae and career services

departments.• Seek feedback from family and friends.• Look through diaries, work logs or past performance

evaluations.

Methods to identify job titles that contain a majority of thecomponents that make you happy:• Work with a certified career counselor or job

transition coach.• Ask family and friends what job they could see

you being successful in and why. What is itabout you that will enable you to be successfulin each job they list? All have a different experi-ence of you and will see you in a different light.

• Determine at least two dozen important values,activities, tasks, gifts, talents and skills to you;get a group of four or more friends together andbrainstorm job titles that would incorporate asmany of these qualities as possible.

• Go through the most recent OccupationalOutlook Handbook published by the govern-ment. Make use of the related jobs listed at theend of each section.

Our heads say we need to know a specific job title to find a job.As we search for a title that we think we might be able to do, we nixthe idea because we think it doesn’t pay enough, it’s not prestigiousenough, or we think we need to get another degree to do the work.

Our hearts say I want to help survivors of cancer, or use myhands to create something special, or serve as the bridge thathelps two parties come together to achieve a common goal.

Once we discover what we want to do, we then approach themarketplace with a targeted strategy to locate an organization thatshares our passion, and we can follow our heart’s desire.

On Oct. 3, 2004, Alpha Phi proudly installed our chapter at LakeForest College in Lake Forest, Ill. It was a celebration after a yearof hard work on behalf of local and regional Alpha Phi volunteers,staff and especially our new members.

The Gamma Epsilon deuteron chapter has always had aspecial place in the heart of the Fraternity, and it gives us great joyto see this chapter return to Alpha Phi’s roll. The chapter was orig-inally at Lake Forest College from 1952 until 1961. All sororitieson campus left at the same time due to a relationship change withthe college. We are pleased that several members of the originalchapter were able to join the festivities for the newly installedchapter.

The Court of Ivy ceremony was conducted on Oct. 1. Initiation was held at the home of Nancy Weaver Roach (¢E-Iowa) in Libertyville. Adding to the celebration was the initiationof Lee Ann Sackett, the mother of former Educational LeadershipConsultant Betsy Eberly Brown (EA-Ashland); Betsy supportedthe chapter during its colonization. We welcome Lee Ann to Alpha Phi.

The Harrison Manor House in Lake Bluff was host to a receptionfor initiates, their families and friends. Chris Waugh, director of lead-ership and community involvement, welcomed the new chapter onbehalf of the college. Foundation Board Chair Susan WeiskittleBarrick (BO-Bowling Green State) presented a scholarship badgeand the Foundation’s traditional $1,000 gift in celebration of thechapter’s installation. Gamma Epsilon deuteron designated the gift

to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at the Victory MemorialHospital in Waukegan.

The highlight of the installation was the presentation of thenew charter by International Executive Board Member LindsayWiggins (B¦-USC) and the president’s gavel by past InternationalPresident Jean Cameron (¡M-Miami University). Many in theaudience were pleased when new members were surprised withthe charter from the original chapter, especially Gamma Epsilonalumnae. Betsy Brown also presented Gwendolyn Hill, chapterpresident, with the president’s badge.

The Lake County alumnae chapter sponsored the framing ofthe new charter for the chapter as well as lavaliere necklaces forthe new initiates. Thirty-seven collegiate and alumnae chaptersdonated welcome dollars. Thank you to all the collegiate andalumnae chapters for the warm welcome, especially to LakeCounty Representative Laurel Green Rafferty (F¾-Dayton), whoparticipated in the weekend’s festivities.

Special thanks to the collegiate members at Northwestern (B),Elmhurst (F¥) and DePaul (IG) and to the members of the NorthCentral Midwest regional team for their commitment and support.

This special weekend was one that charter members, alumnaeinitiates and all who were involved will remember for years tocome. Alpha Phi International Fraternity enthusiasticallywelcomes the newly installed Gamma Epsilon deuteron chapterand thanks members and volunteers for their commitment.

The Fraternity’s strategic planning process sawmuch progress during the 2002-04 biennium. TheInternational Executive Board (IEB) heard recom-mendations from the Strategic Planning EvaluationCommittee, the Convention called for continuedevaluation of our election processes, and theFraternity developed a rolling five-year plan.

In order to facilitate and focus on these directives and recommenda-tions, the IEB formed four committees and developed charges for each. Thework of these committees has already begun. The committees arecomposed of Executive Office staff members, IEB directors, Foundationrepresentation, alumnae and collegiate members.

The IEB received an overwhelming response to its solicitation forcommittee member applicants with more than 60 inquiries. We appreciateall the interest generated from our membership.

The IEB looks forward to receiving recommendations from the followingcommittees:

The Elections Committee will make recommendations regarding ourcurrent elections processes, taking into account Alpha Phi’s past andcurrent practices, the 2004 Constitution Committee’s research, the Strategic

Plan Evaluation Committee’s analysis regarding elections and other likeorganization procedures.

The Culture/Values Committee will make recommendations to the Boardregarding Alpha Phi values defined in actionable terms or behaviors usingour core values expressed in our ritual and mission statement. Keymessages, activities, communication and programming areas will be identi-fied at the various membership levels of Alpha Phi to incorporate thesedefined values.

The Housing Committee will make a recommendation to the Board aboutthe management of housing going forward, considering timelines,skills/staffing (including outsourcing if appropriate), objectives, legalities,financial implications and an exit strategy.

The Strategic Planning Committee will update the Fraternity’s StrategicPlan to include the recommendations from the work of the 2002-2004Strategic Plan Evaluation Committee (SPEC) and recommendations fromsubsequent IEB committees. This effort will incorporate the Fraternity’srolling five-year plan and include direction to the Fraternity for the next 10years.

ALPHA PHI ANNIVERSARY RECOGNITION PINSAlpha Phi recognizes the importance of lifetimemembership. One special way that Alpha Phi honorsthe endurance of membership is with anniversaryrecognition pins. These pins celebrate your affiliationwith Alpha Phi on milestone occasions – 10 years, 25years, 50 years and 75 years. Today, any member ofAlpha Phi who has celebrated one of these significantanniversaries may order a pin and/or certificate fromthe Executive Office.

The 10-year pin (for those initiatedin 1995 or earlier) features a boldRoman numeral ten in brushedsilver, with a delicate ivy vineentwined around it. The Greekletters Alpha Phi, engraved on the

front of the pin, proudly display your affiliation. The costof a 10-year pin is $35, plus $5 for shipping & handling.

The 25-year pin (for thoseinitiated in 1980 or earlier) isa sterling silver badge in theshape of the Big Dipper.Fashioned with one sapphireat each of the seven joints of

the Big Dipper, this piece of jewelry handsomely recog-

nizes your affiliation with Alpha Phi. The cost of a 25-year pin is $35, plus $5 for shipping & handling.

The first 50-year pins werepresented at the 42ndConvention in 1958 to severalalumnae who had given signifi-cant service to the Fraternity for50 years or more. These pins are

replicas of the pins presented to the six living Foundersat the Fraternity’s 50th Anniversary Convention in 1922and celebrate your 50 years (for those initiated in 1955or earlier) of membership in Alpha Phi. The pin iscreated in a manner that allows your original badge tobe placed inside the silver circle for a dramatic jewelrydisplay. The cost of a 50-year pin is $30, plus $5 forshipping & handling.

For our most revered members,the 75-year pin is a brilliantdiamond-shaped, golden pin,with clear stones at each of thepoints. This breathtaking piece ofjewelry is only available to those

members who have been sisters for 75 years or more(initiated in 1930 or earlier). Like the 50-year pin, thediamond is sized large enough to allow you to place

your original badge within the 75-year pin. The cost ofa 75-year pin is $30, plus $5 for shipping & handling.

One of the first items now sighted by visitors to the ExecutiveOffice (EO) is a stunning new plaque in the vestibule, a gift to theFraternity by two long-time members. It honors the eight alumnaewho have received the Ivy Vine Award for exceptional service bothwithin the Fraternity and in the wider Greek world.

The award was established in 1986 in honor of its first recipi-ent, Betty Mullins Jones (¡-DePauw). Betty was 1970-74International president and 1974-90 National PanhellenicConference (NPC) delegate. She was a prominent speaker on thefraternity scene and delivered more than 1,000 speeches to civic,business and Greek-letter groups. Betty wrote as well as she spokeand authored Code for the Coed, an etiquette book. She receivedawards from several Greek organizations. Betty Jones died in 2001.

The latest recipient is Sally McCall Grant (¡-DePauw), whoreceived the award during Convention 2004. She was 1986-90International president, 1992-94 Foundation chairman and NPCdelegate from 1996 to the present. From 2001-03 Sally had therare privilege of serving as NPC chairman, an office that rotatesthrough the 26 member groups and comes to each fraternity onlyapproximately twice in a century.

The other recipients of the Ivy Vine Award are MarthaWatkins Mast (BM-Duke) in 1988; Margaret Knights Hultsch(BM-Duke, Q-Ohio State, B-Northwestern and O-Missouri) in1990; Ruth Himmelman Wright (ª-Washington) in 1992;Eileen Hurney Stevens (A¤) in 1994; Nancy Wittgen BurksDeVoe (¡-DePauw) in 1998; and Mary Carr Boyd (¡-DePauwand O-Missouri) in 2000.

Martha Mast served on the Executive Board and in 1976became Foundation chairman. Martha took on a languishingFoundation – then just a standing committee within theFraternity with assets of $287,000. By the time she retired in1988, the Foundation had become a separate corporation withassets of more than $1,000,000.

Marge Hultsch began editing the Alpha Phi Quarterly in 1957and continued for 35 years, during which time the magazine wonnumerous fraternity press awards and was named Top SororityMagazine. Marge was also chairman of the National PanhellenicEditors’ Conference. Marge is presently Fraternity historian.

Ruth Wright remembers proudly being chairman of thecommittee that conceived and wrote the first Collegiate ChapterOperations Manual in 1970-72. She has become a specialist in theFraternity Constitution, having served on three constitutioncommittees and, over the years, having proposed many amend-ments subsequently adopted by Conventions. She was also anExecutive Board member and Board of Trustees chairman. Hermost signal service to the Fraternity, however, was as 1987-92chairman of the Capital Campaign that raised $2.25 million forthe Foundation.

Eileen Stevens’ crucial work toward eradicating hazing in theGreek system was launched after the death of her son, Chuck, inan alcohol-related fraternity hazing tragedy in 1978. Eileenfounded CHUCK (Committee to Halt Useless College Killings)to bring about awareness of hazing practices, as well as to researchand document hazing deaths. In the two decades (1978-2000) sheled CHUCK, Eileen gave talks on more than 700 campuses and at27 Greek conventions and worked with state legislators, chapteradvisers and collegians to abolish hazing. She became a nationalforce in lobbying for anti-hazing legislation; 44 states now haveanti-hazing laws. Eileen was selected as one of 10 Women of theYear by the New York Daily News and has been featured onnational talk television. Her story was made into a movie, “BrokenPledges.”

Nancy DeVoe was inspired in her service to the Fraternity byfellow awardee Betty Jones, who was her collegiate chapter adviser.Nancy became International president, Board of Trustees chair-man, then thought she had retired but was instead asked to beFoundation chairman – which turned out to be her favorite postof all. During her term, contributions to the Foundation tripled.

Mary Boyd began her service when she was only 19. Afterspending her freshman year at DePauw (¡) chapter, she wasrequested by the International Executive Board to transfer to theUniversity of Missouri to assist Omicron. Twenty-two years later,Mary served as International president, Board of Trustees chair-man and Foundation chairman. Two of her tangible and lastingservices to the Fraternity were acting as Chairman of the EOheadquarters building, built in 1975, and then for the additionbuilt in 1992. Mary is the second in her family to serve asInternational president, following in the footsteps of her aunt,Clara Ingwersen Gregson (I-Wisconsin).

Finances FY04 was very positive from a fiscal stand-point; Alpha Phi International ended theyear in a strong financial position. The netassets of the organization increased bymore than $493,000 due in part to thepositive performance of our investmentportfolio. Additionally, the Fraternity’sManagement and General Expenses repre-sented only a little more than 10 percent ofour total expenses – a very good ratio for anon-profit organization. We received anunqualified audit report from our inde-pendent auditors.

Collegiate MembershipAlpha Phi enjoyed continuing growth andimproved strength in collegiate member-ship. The Fraternity is 143 chapters strong,and we proudly installed our newest chap-ter at Lake Forest University (¡E¤). Forthe 2003-04 school year, 23 of our chap-ters reported improved strength in the areaof recruitment, and we initiated more than4,000 collegiate women. Seven educationalleadership consultants and eight volunteerregional teams supported our collegiatechapters. We are pleased that a significantnumber of our chapters and members arerecognized on their campuses for outstand-ing leadership, scholarship and servicecontributions.

Dear Sisters:

In 2003, the International Executive Board (IEB) conducted a survey of our

membership. The purpose of the survey was to send feedback to the IEB on a

number of issues, communication being one. It was clear from the survey that

members appreciate the consistent flow of information, especially information

on the business of the Fraternity. One example was the Alpha Phi

International Fraternity Annual Report. This year’s Board has decided to

continue the effort and, together with the Executive Office, is pleased to

publish this report for fiscal year 2004 (FY04). The purpose of the Alpha Phi

Annual Report is to provide a concise annual record of happenings during the

last year.

The strength of our Alpha Phi sisterhood is made clear by the many achieve-

ments that are enumerated here. These accomplishments remind us that we are

a successful Fraternity as a result of committed volunteers, competent staff,

quality programming, sound management and innovative marketing. It is

clear that this year, of all years, we have much to be proud of. But, as Martha

Foote Crow (A-Syracuse) reminded us, “Is that all we have to do? No, we may

as well be resigned to absolute defeat ... There is work enough for each of us,

and we have no time to be idle. Let us each do our work well and success shall

be our guerdon.”

If you have questions regarding the Alpha Phi Annual Report, or if you

would like to e-mail the IEB on any issue, please contact us at IEBQuestions@

alphaphi.org.

The IEB and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at Regional

Conferences in February.

Loyally,

Crista Cate Vasina

improve alumnae chapters, and housecorporation board members are better ableto troubleshoot the challenges of managingchapter facilities. The outcome of thisspecialized training has been a significantincrease in the strength of our collegiate andalumnae chapters. Likewise, there is a highcorrelation between collegiate and alumnaechapters receiving awards and trained volun-teers. Regional Conferences provided train-ing for more than 1,000 collegians andalumnae volunteers. Seventeen new adviserand 12 roundtable audioconferences wereprovided to train new chapter advisers andoffer roundtable discussions to both colle-gians and volunteers. The Alpha PhiQuarterly received three prestigious awardsthis year: an APEX (Awards for PublicationExcellence) Award of Excellence, a CollegeFraternity Editors Association (CFEA)Award of Excellence – First Place for CoverDesign and, for a fourth year in a row, anAward of Distinction from TheCommunicator Awards.

Alumnae In FY04, 7,886 alumnae paid Internationalalumnae dues. Those monies received wentto a wide variety of Fraternity support,including the colonization of 14 newalumnae chapters. Additionally, theFraternity introduced a new anniversarypin. This pin commemorates 10 years ofAlpha Phi membership. It complimentsour existing 25-year, 50-year and 75-yearpins. Finally, the alumnae membershipstrategy committee met at the ExecutiveOffice in Evanston, Ill., to outline plans foralumnae development over the next fiveyears. Some ideas for future direction thatresulted from the efforts included: organi-zations for silver sisters and former colle-giate chapter executive board members andreviewing the current International alum-nae dues process.

The Online Community continues toremain popular with our members as 7,800women are registered and use it to updatetheir information, network with other profes-sionals and connect with lost sisters.

To purchase an anniversary pin, visitwww.alphaphi.org.

StaffingAlpha Phi continues to benefit from a well-staffed, high functioning Executive Office(EO). The EO is comprised of a team ofexperts in all areas of fraternity life. Thedirectors of collegiate membership andextension positions were filled with thepromotion of Linda Schnetzer (BO-Bowling Green State).

Evaluation of the Strategic PlanA major initiative during the last bienniumwas Alpha Phi’s evaluation of the Alpha PhiInternational Strategic Plan and Vision for the21st Century. This process included the IEBmeeting with past leadership, compiling andreviewing historical data, appointing variousAlpha Phi volunteers with Fraternity experi-ence or expertise in strategic planning, meet-ing at the Executive Office in March to

discuss findings and presenting the reportduring Convention 2004 in Rancho Mirage,Calif. The next steps for Fraternity planninginclude the appointment of several Boardcommittees specifically directed to reviewhousing culture and next steps for strategicplanning.

ClosingAs we embark upon another year, we willcontinue our ongoing communication andinteraction with the sisterhood, remain afiscally responsible organization andprovide services that will meet the needsand enhance the experiences of ourmembers.

Editor’s Note: Linda Schnetzer is now inChina. Megan Bouché (E-Minnesota) andLaura Garraway Caulfield (¢E-Iowa)direct the activities of recruitment andextension, and chapter operations, respectively.

During Convention 2006 the AlphaPhi Foundation will celebrate its50th anniversary. While it is impor-tant to celebrate this incrediblemilestone and look forward to thenext 50 years, it’s also important toremember where we have been.

“TODAY WE PLAN FOR THE FRATERNITY OF TOMORROW …”The Alpha Phi Foundation began in 1956 under the slogan “AnInvestment in Youth.” The idea was that donating to the Foundationin the present was an investment in the future – the future of yourchildren. By helping young women obtain education with the aid ofscholarships, grants and awards, members of Alpha Phi were invest-ing in the future of their children and the future of society.

The Foundation was launched as a way to meet the current andfuture needs and ambitions of college women everywhere. Today,this is still the goal of the Alpha Phi Foundation. Women, bothcollegians and alumnae, are supported by the Foundation throughgrants, scholarships and awards.

As the Foundation’s first promotional brochure (1957) stated,“The Foundation is You.” We are all part of, and determine thefuture of, Alpha Phi.

For more than 50 years, Alpha Phi has focused on heart disease– the No. 1 killer of women in North America – and women’scardiac health as philanthropic priorities. The Cardiac Care Award isawarded annually in the amount of $50,000 to a recognizedmedical institution in support of programs that are educationaland/or research based to benefit women and heart disease. Andnow with the Red Dress pin, women of all ages are wearing asymbol of Alpha Phi’s care for the lives of the women of tomorrow.

The Foundation carries on its tradition of making an impact onthe future of society, and it will continue to plan today for theFraternity of tomorrow.

To order your own Red Dress pin or nominate a medical facilityin your area for a Cardiac Care Award, visit the Foundation atwww.alphaphi.org.

When you change jobs, you also need to change your diet.Otherwise your body will still be physiologically living in yourold career environment. What and how you eat at your jobusually reflects your levels of stress, boredom and unhappiness.

High-anxiety jobs that are not a good fit put too muchemotional and physical stress on the body – leading to emotionaleating. Coffee and sugar in the morning and afternoon fights offsleepiness. High-fat, high-protein meals at night are comfortingand power you up for the next day’s workload. A salad inhaled atyour desk during lunch compensates for your pig out last night.

Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation

Quarterly Subscription Changes Planned

We currently spend more than $175,000 annually to publish and mail the Quarterly.Beginning with the Summer 2005 Quarterly, we will implement a change in oursubscription policy.

In addition to benefiting crucial programs for alumnae and the Alpha PhiFoundation, the change in policy will mean savings in years to come that will lead tonoticeable improvements in the quality of the magazine.

All members will continue to receive one issue of the magazine in the fall. However,only those members in one of the following categories will receive all four issues of themagazine per year:

• collegians;• those who have paid International alumnae dues in the current or previous fiscal

year; or• those who made a minimum donation of $50 to the Alpha Phi Foundation in

the current or previous fiscal year.

Watch future Quarterlies and visit www.alphaphi.org for additional informationabout these changes to your Quarterly subscription.

Attention Alpha Phis: Save your mailing label! You will need your membership number (found on label) to identify yourself if youcontact the Executive Office or Foundation and to access various online resources.
