QUARTERLY, WEB SITE WIN AWARDS

Dear Sisters,

As I sat down at my desk to write my last President’sMessage I couldn’t help but reflect on the past fouryears. These years have passed so quickly, and yet so much has happened in our nation and in our organization.

Four years ago, I had the opportunity to standbefore you at Convention and commit that we, theInternational Executive Board, understood we had been

charged not only with serving as the stewards of our beloved Fraternity, butalso with improving and advancing Alpha Phi. Four years later, I can confi-dently say the last two IEBs have worked very hard to achieve this goal, andindeed we are leaving Alpha Phi ready and able to continue to grow,strengthen and enhance our members’ lives.

Over the past four years the boards and staff have partnered to better our Fraternity. We have looked to the future and worked to prepare ourorganization for it. We set far-reaching goals, challenged assumptions, questioned the status quo and pushed ourselves to look outside the box.Sometimes we failed and had to try again, but each time we learned fromour experiences and used those lessons in our future decision-making.

There are no words to express my gratitude for the opportunity I havebeen given to serve as your president. I’ve been fortunate to meet sisters from across the United States and Canada. Each of these meetings inspiredme to continue in my role and reinforced my sense of pride to be a memberof such a dynamic organization. Proudly representating Alpha Phi in theGreek community has been an honor. Knowing I represent each of you is a great source of pride.

The future is bright for Alpha Phi, and I can’t wait to watch in amaze-ment as our next leaders take our Fraternity to even greater heights.

Thank you, Alpha Phi, for the memories, friendships, challenges and triumphs and for allowing me to serve as your president for the past fouryears. Thank you, Alpha Phi, for the experience of a lifetime!

Female Relationships Are Good for Us

A L P H A P H I Quarterly

Alpha Phi Provides, Then and Today Alpha Phi’s 10 Founders were pioneers of the coeducational system. Attending school with thehandicap of implied, if not open, opposition, theysought support from each other. There was a needfor a social center – a circle of friends who couldsympathize with one another.

The Founders provided each other support andencouragement that has led to a union beyond theirwildest dreams – a sisterhood more than 160,000strong, connecting members at various levels and agegroups, spanning the globe and making a differencein the lives of women.

The majority of sisters today were introduced to Alpha Phi when they joined a collegiate chapter.After graduation, the connection remains. Ivy con-nections welcome young alumnae 10 years out ofcollege and younger. Alumnae chapters provideopportunities for alumnae of all ages and boastnumerous subdivisions that cater to specific interests,such as moms and tots groups, book clubs, lunchgroups, card clubs, etc.

The Alpha Phi Foundation provides support to sisters in need with its Forget-Me-Not Fund (for alumnae facing serious health problems, naturaldisasters or other crises) and Emergency Aid Fund(for undergraduate members facing an interruption

of her education due to an unforeseen financialcrisis). Donating to these and other Foundationprograms connects us to each other and to thecommunity.

Communication tools such as the Quarterlymagazine, Web site and newsletters link members to their collegiate and alumnae chapters and theorganization as a whole. Transitions magazine welcomes graduating seniors into alumnae member-ship and encourages them to remain connected toAlpha Phi beyond college. The Online Communityallows alumnae to reconnect, exchange ideas andaccess career and networking information.

This just touches upon the tools and means available to sisters! If you would like informationabout any Fraternity or Foundation programs orservices, visit www.alphaphi.org or contact theExecutive Office to reconnect!

When was the last time you sent a note to yourbest girlfriend from college, went to lunch with afriend you haven’t seen in some time or called a sister from your new member class? Get in touchwith the women in your life with whom you keep meaning to reconnect. It will be good for your health!

Studies have shown that women who have significant female relationships are healthier, happier and even live longer.

A landmark UCLA study suggests that in times of stress, we tend to reach out to otherwomen for support. When the hormone oxytocin is released as part of stress responses in awoman, she responds by seeking friendships with other women. These befriending methodsrange from making a phone call to simple social contacts such as asking for directions whenlost. More oxytocin is released, which reduces stress and produces a calming effect that doesnot occur in men (testosterone, which men produce in high levels when they’re under stress,seems to reduce the effects of oxytocin; estrogen seems to enhance it).

A Harvard Medical School study also found the more friends women had, the less likelythey were to develop physical ailments, and the more likely they were to be happy. They evenconcluded that not having close friends or confidantes could be detrimental to your health.

Other studies have found that social ties reduce our risk of disease by lowering blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol.

Who needed a study to confirm all this? As Alpha Phis, we’ve known since the founding of our organization!

And we whoare thus

united areunder a solemn

pledge to lenda helping

hand to oneanother.

Alpha Phi Is a Lifetime Opportunity

A group of 14 sisters who met after joining theDallas and Suburban, Texas, alumnae chapter haveshared everything from meals and bridge lessons toweddings and funerals for more than 25 years. Somehave moved from the area, but continue to be anintegral part of the group and rarely miss a gather-ing. The women’s husbands have also developedclose relationships from their involvement.

“Our group is a unique example of Alpha Phi as a lifetime opportunity,” says Sheila George Bright(Gamma Iota-Texas Tech). “It was our positivecollegiate experiences and the common bond andinterest in Alpha Phi that initially brought us together.”

She says her group has been very active in thealumnae chapter – most in major officer rolesincluding four as alumnae chapter presidents andnine serving the Foundation or Fraternity on theInternational level. “Alpha Phi offers so many oppor-tunities,” Sheila says. “We’ve always supported eachother in these positions – and in shared life experi-ences: marriages, births, child rearing, divorces, serious illnesses, loss of parents and now marriages of our children and becoming grandmothers. Wecherish these times and will continue to share themfor another 25-plus years.”

I believe in the friendships formed in the springtime of my youth …I believe in it as a shrine of international sisterhood wherein I may find love and loyalty, sympathy and understanding, inspiration and opportunity.

HELP MISSING ALUMNAE RECONNECT

Reinstatement: Do You Know SomeoneWho Wants to Reconnect with Alpha Phi?

Alpha Phi has initiated more than 160,000 women in

North America since 1872 – so many women have found

the way to connect with other women using Alpha Phi as

the agent!

Sometimes, however, the fit isn’t always a perfect one,

and our members might choose to leave the Fraternity.

Membership may be discontinued for a wide variety of

reasons. In fact, only about five percent of all initiates have

ever left the Fraternity.

But did you know that reinstating a membership is an

option? Maybe Alpha Phi wasn’t the perfect fit at the time

of being a collegian, but a member can reconnect with

Alpha Phi today.

Recently, Cindy Erwin, director of alumnae member-

ship, received a letter from a woman who resigned her

membership in the 1970s. She was at a local Starbucks®

coffee shop, saw a group of current Alpha Phi collegians

and thought about what she had been missing for the last

30 years. Working with Cindy, the woman was able to

petition the International Executive Board and have her

membership reinstated.

She now plans to re-engage herself in Alpha Phi

through a local alumnae chapter and advise a collegiate

chapter. Do you know of a sister whose membership

was discontinued? If so, let her know if she wishes to

reconnect with Alpha Phi, it might be a reality – maybe

your friend can be your sister once again!

For more information about membership reinstate-

ment, contact Cindy Erwin at cerwin@alphaphi.org.

A Woman’s Need to Connect

A L P H A P H I QuarterlyP A G E F O U R

More than 1.4 million Americans serve in the U.S. armed forces. Fifteen percent of those arewomen. As of May 15, 2006, a combined 2,447military service members died while serving inOperation Iraqi Freedom and Operation EnduringFreedom. Many more are marred by the emotionaland physical wounds of war.*

There is extensive media coverage and debateabout how U.S. tax dollars are funding war-relatedefforts while veterans lack the proper resources andmedical care. Rarely do we hear about military service members and their families during war orpeacetime deployments or how families reintegratewhen a soldier returns home. Given the average sizeof an American family is 3.18 members, one couldreasonably assume approximately three million moreAmericans are potentially impacted by the military,stricken by some degree of anticipatory grief or havechildren who do not yet understand why a parent orboth parents are called away for active duty.

Military Family History Doesn’t Make Coping EasierStephanie Hutton (DeltaEta-Adrian) comes from a military family: bothparents served in the Navy, a grandfather is retired fromthe Coast Guard and twouncles have served in theArmy and Air Force for more than 20 years. Nowshe is engaged to a U.S. Navy man. But the chal-lenges of military life are not something you ever get used to, Stephanie says.

During fiancé Chris’ deployments, Stephaniemakes cards, phones calls and sends e-mails to himto help alleviate the pain of the separation.Stephanie also talks to her family – especially hermom, aunts and grandmother – all of whom aremilitary spouse “veterans.”

There were times when she was sad, didn’t wantto talk to anyone and withdrew. Stephanie creditstwo Delta Eta sisters with helping her out of a rut by offering to listen: “It took a good three to fourweeks for me to go out again, and now I take thingsday by day,” says Stephanie.

“I have never been very open with my emotionsand didn’t think Alpha Phi sisters would under-stand,” Stephanie continues, “but they were there,and they still are here.”

Military Spouse Helps Others AdjustKatie Heffelfinger Walker(Beta Zeta-Idaho) was un-familiar with military lifeprior to husband Robertjoining the U.S. MarineCorps. She depended onother military spouses, andnow she is giving back.

During Robert’s deploy-ments, she reaches out to various groups, activelyvolunteers, takes their two young children to playgroups and performs routine tasks to stay busy. She feels fortunate to have been stationed in townsnear some Alpha Phi sisters.

As a military spouse, Katie explains, “You have to be willing to go with the flow and not make plansuntil you have received official communication.You’ll be told one thing, but that can change like a pendulum swinging.”

The one thing Katie is certain of is it is good tohave other military spouses as friends when othersmay not necessarily be able to empathize when ahusband is not home for extended periods.

Katie attests that it can be very intimidating to be new to military life. She serves as a key volunteerin the Marine Corps’ Lifestyle Insights, Network-ing, Knowledge and Skills (L.I.N.K.S.) program, a spouse-to-spouse mentoring service that helps new Marine families adjust.

Coping with Military Service and Loved Ones in the Armed ServicesBy Kayee Dooley

Isolation on theHomefront“[Military] spouses are on

an emotional roller-coaster.

Some are paralyzed by con-

stant news coverage. Others

avoid the news all together.

All fear that knock at the

door and the news that their

loved one is wounded or

dead. That constant fear can

lead to crying jags, shortness

of breath, and panic attacks.

This is normal and even has

a name – anticipatory grief –

but most spouses don’t

realize this and simply suffer

alone.”

“Children experience

all the same feelings. The

majority of military children

attend public schools, and

often their civilian teachers

have no idea they’re worrying

about a parent in a war

zone.”

-Excerpted from

While They’re at War:

The True Story of American

Families on the Homefront,

by Kristin Henderson

Robert and Katie Walker

Stephanie Hutton withfiancé Chris

Sisters who were interviewed for this article have loved ones in the armed forces and/or haveserved themselves. Each expressed varying degrees of worry or fear during physical separations,whether training exercises or deployments, yet these women have remained brave through itall. We salute these and all military service members and their families – both in the U.S. andabroad – who make personal sacrifices so basic human rights and freedoms may be protected.

A Woman’s Need to Connect

“Other military spouses and families tend toquickly accept you, reach out, make friends and getyou involved in activities – it is amazing,” says Katie.“They watch out for you, and you always havepeople you can rely on.”

Coast Guard Wife Finds Support from SistersSusan Peterson Kowalske(Gamma Nu-MiamiUniversity) says CoastGuard life is somewhat dif-ferent than other branchesof the military, but it stilltakes its toll.

“It is not as pervasive to our everyday lives. Ryandeploys often, spending two months out at sea onthe coast conducting interdictions and then return-ing home for two months,” says Susan. “Yet it canget horribly lonely when he’s gone.”

Susan is active with the Boston alumnae chapterand makes it a point to spend time with Gamma Nusisters who reside in the area. It was hard on Susanduring the holidays when she received only onephone call from her husband. She refused to writeholiday cards because it was something she and Ryanalways did together. Instead, she opted to send outValentine’s Day cards when he returned.

When acquaintances question how she maintainsher calm during Ryan’s deployments, she replies, “I don’t know how you do it, but you just do.”

Susan is part of an unofficial Boston Coast GuardSpouses listserv, but wishes she lived closer to otherCoast Guard wives. She started to train for mara-thons as a way to meet new people.

She is proud of her husband’s accomplishments:Ryan was recently named U.S. Coast Guard EnlistedPerson of the Year for the Atlantic region.

Collegiate Sisters, Family Provide ComfortSgt. Adoratia “Ratia”Culpepper Purdy (Iota Eta-DePaul) and husband 1st Sgt.Kevin Purdy were high schoolsweethearts who always wantedto join the Army. Ratia retiredin 2000 after 10 years of ser-vice. Kevin is in military intel-ligence, and Ratia is proud of

her husband’s Army fast track, but also worriesabout him.

During her military career, Ratia and her hus-band were often assigned to different military instal-lations, but the couple stayed in touch via letters andphone calls. They have been married 11 years.

The couple has a home in Arizona, but Ratiaprefers to spend time with family in Illinois duringKevin’s deployments.

Ratia graduated from DePaul (Iota Eta) in Juneas a non-traditional student majoring in marketingand advertising. She credits Iota Eta sisters withmaking her feel comfortable. “They were reallyengaging and wanted to get to know me. Duringinitiation, they recalled so many details about eachof the initiates, and I remember thinking ‘they reallywere paying attention,’ which made me feel special.The women extended themselves by offering me aplace to stay and help with school,” she says.

Ratia crammed 20 hours of credits into a singleterm as a way to keep busy during one of her hus-band’s deployments; she joked that she would knowher real friends if they were still around afterward.Her Alpha Phi sisters continue to check in to seehow she and Kevin are doing; they are concerned,and Ratia welcomes the support.

Words Of Wisdom From Military Service Members And Spouses

• Spend time with Alpha Phis, military spouses or others in similar situations

and family instead of sitting at home.

• Your spouse is going through the same emotions in terms of highs and lows;

the two of you need to support and communicate with each other.

• Work on keeping yourself happy and self-satisfied so your service member

knows he or she has a secure home base.

• Get involved with a collegiate or alumnae chapter. Help others, for example,

by becoming an adviser.

• Minimize the amount of news you watch daily.

• Support your service member by sending letters and care packages; it is

therapeutic for you too.

• If you live on or near a base, get involved in order to enjoy your experience.

Acknowledge your strengths and let them shine through.Ratia and Kevin Purdy

Do you have a unique story about connecting with Alpha Phi sisters?When I attended Convention 2004, I endedup sitting beside the woman who hadinstalled our chapter and had initiated metwo years before. It was so great to seeher again and update her on how ourchapter had grown.

The nine women chosen to serve as 2006-07

educational leadership consultants (ELCs) begin

a nine-month journey visiting Alpha Phi’s 143

collegiate chapters and two colonies in August.

Their work impacts every aspect of a collegiate

chapter, including recruitment, programming,

marketing and general chapter operations. They

also work with chapter leaders to ensure collegians

have the foundation for a well-rounded Alpha Phi

experience.

“The influence educational leadership con-

sultants have had on our chapters over the years

has been quite significant,” says Rebbie Howell

(Gamma Nu-Miami University), program coordi-

nator of consultants and recruitment. “Consultants

have been an integral part of numerous chapter

improvements, everything from getting chapters to

be in line with Alpha Phi policies and procedures

to helping them improve recruiting strength. They

are also there to create an important connection

between their own collegiate chapter and Alpha

Phi International.”

Megan Jones (Beta Epsilon-Arizona), who was

a 2005-06 ELC, returns to serve the Fraternity for

a second term. Megan is excited to be taking on a

more advanced role this year, one that will chal-

Stephanie Nordstrom (Iota Alpha-Pepperdine)

Public Relations/Creative WritingBaldwin Park, Calif.

Favorite Alpha Phi memory: Seeing my sisters work so hard to put on ourSilent Auction for the Alpha Phi Founda-tion. Their spirit, beauty and heart mademe so proud to be an Alpha Phi because I realized how much of a difference wemake in each other’s lives and in ourcommunity.

No one knows that I secretly: crave tomatoes 24/7.

Three words that best describe meare: spunky, caring, creative.

The theme of the summer issue is “A Woman’s Need to Connect.” Howhas Alpha Phi fulfilled this need foryou? Alpha Phi created a home for me to have heart to hearts with other womenwho wanted what was best for me.Through connecting with my sisters,I have become a more confident womanbecause Alpha Phis have encouraged me.

Do you have a unique story aboutconnecting with Alpha Phi sisters?I was the first person in quite a few yearsfrom my city to attend Pepperdine. Myfreshman year, I received an e-mail fromthe last person from my hometown toattend. When we met for lunch, I foundout we had participated in many of thesame activities in high school, and shewas one of the charter members of AlphaPhi at Pepperdine.

Heather Pollock (Theta Nu-Appalachian State)

Psychology/Business ConcentrationGreensboro, N.C.

Favorite Alpha Phi memory: SpringBreak 2005 road trip to Florida withalmost 30 of my wonderful sisters.

No one knows that I secretly: want to be a fashion designer.

Three words that best describe meare: passionate, positive, endearing.

The theme of the summer issue is “A Woman’s Need to Connect.” Howhas Alpha Phi fulfilled this need foryou? Alpha Phi is my home away fromhome; I have close to 80 sisters who arealways willing to listen and share laughs.During my first year of college, my familystill lived in England, and Alpha Phi filledthe void of not having my family in thesame country.

Do you have a unique story aboutconnecting with Alpha Phi sisters?It seems that almost everyone experiencessome sort of obstacle or hardship duringtheir time at college. Mine came thesemester after I joined Alpha Phi. Livingwith my sisters provided unconditionalsupport as I became close to so many ofthem and truly felt, as I do now, the bondof our sisterhood. It is a wonderful feeling.

Jessica Seymour (Eta deuteron-Boston)

Business AdministrationTampa, Fla.

Favorite Alpha Phi memory: I served as a recruitment counselor, and after re-cruitment was over, I was finally able toreveal which sorority I belonged to andreturn “home” to the welcoming arms of my sisters, new and old.

No one knows that I secretly: wouldlike to own my own event planning firm.

Three words that best describe meare: dedicated, ambitious, French-wannabe.

The theme of the summer issue is “A Woman’s Need to Connect.” Howhas Alpha Phi fulfilled this need foryou? I believe it is the innate nature ofevery woman to need to connect withthose around her – to feel a certaindegree of familiarity and comfort with herpeers. Simply going through the processof applying to be an ELC has proven tome that Alpha Phi contains a uniquenetwork of women who, even without truly knowing one another, are already intimately connected.

Do you have a unique story aboutconnecting with Alpha Phi sisters?The most important instance of connect-ing with an Alpha Phi sister has been myability to connect with my own sister on

a different level. My sister and I grew upas a pair. We are a year and a half apart (I being the younger of the two) andshared everything up until the time shewas 18 and off to attend college atNorthwestern. I set off to college a yearlater, but in a different direction and athree-hour plane ride away from her. Mysister joined Alpha Phi as a freshman, andin true younger sister fashion, I followed ayear later. Our experiences in college andwith Alpha Phi have been vastly different,but I think what is truly impressive is thatby simply joining the same sorority wedeepened our already strong bond andfound something else that, despite themany miles between us, would eternallybind us together.

Committee Updates Fraternity’s Strategic Plan

A strategic plan focuses an organiza-tion’s energy, resources and attentionon defined priorities and provides aspecific course for action. Resourcesare properly allocated to those activi-ties that provide the most benefit.Basically, strategic planning deter-mines where an organization is goingover the next several years, how it will get there and how it will know it has arrived.

HistoryThe Fraternity’s first Strategic Planadopted in 1997 articulated “AlphaPhi’s Vision for the 21st Century” and identified focus areas, strategiesand tactics for achieving this vision.The implementation of the planaddressed a wide range of areas in-cluding the governance, managementand structure of the organization, pro-grams and services, facilities, financesand our membership.

ProcessThis past biennium, the IEB ap-pointed a Strategic Planning Com-mittee (SPC) charged with updatingthe Fraternity’s Strategic Plan. Thiscommittee conducted a solid strategicanalysis that included assessment ofthe external environment of theorganization and feedback fromstakeholders.

In order to capture trends andinsights from student life professionalsand peers in the Greek community,the SPC convened an outside expertpanel composed of student affairs andGreek professionals. Panel memberswere asked in advance to come pre-pared to discuss trends in studentaffairs, campus environment, fra-

ternal community and membershiporganizations. In addition, the SPCasked what panel members viewed asthe value proposition for our sorority.

The committee also developed a series of questions to capture ourFraternity leaders’ vision for where we should be by 2014; responses werereceived from committees, Fraternityand Foundation board directors andregional managers.

The committee also spoke to vendors who have conversed withnumerous Alpha Phi alumnae as wellas a vast number of other Greek letter/membership organizations’ alumni –both men and women. As such, thecommittee felt they could offerinsights regarding engagement andloyalty of alumnae members.

All input was reviewed andanalyzed in order to develop a planthat strengthens our Fraternity, readies us for future opportunities and provides prioritized direction for all the people who effect changefor Alpha Phi.

ResultsThe updated Strategic Plan adopted bythe IEB and introduced at Convention2006 defines key priorities for AlphaPhi. By incorporating these prioritiesinto the Fraternity’s five-year plan,committee plans, regional team plansand chapter plans, we will be able toexpand our membership, maximizethe strength of our chapters, maintainthe necessary infrastructure andfinances and reinforce our status as a value-added organization.

C A R E E R D E V E L O P M E N T

The recognition of our contri-butions personally and profes-sionally is what feeds us. Itshows us what works, whatdoesn’t, what we like aboutourselves and what we want orneed to change. Most impor-tantly, it mirrors our sense ofself and nourishes our soul.

In the workforce, somecompanies provide lists of ouraccomplishments in the formof performance reviews. Thosewho don’t have the gift of regu-lar evaluations have to dependon the feedback of others.These comments providevaluable and powerful insightsinto our character as well ascontribute to our perception ofourselves – assuming we absorbwhat people are saying.

Unfortunately, manywomen – no matter howaccomplished we look to theoutside world – have difficultytaking in achievements. Wehear people saying the words,but it does not compute. If wefind something easy to do wedismiss it, thinking if it was soeasy others must be able to doit as well, and therefore it ismeaningless. If there is nosweat, tears or hard workinvolved, it is negated. We feellike what we accomplished is afluke, like we were lucky tohave pulled it off. We feel likefrauds waiting to be caught,afraid they will discover the real us.

Many of us suffer from theeffects of a dangerously lowself-esteem reservoir which pre-vents us from performing atoptimal levels. The reservoirfills a little each time weacknowledge an accomplish-ment – big or small.

Following are ways we canstart acknowledging accom-plishments and feel betterabout who we are.

Steps to filling the reservoirTake out a sheet of paper dailyand write down the followingas soon as they happen:

• each task you complete andwhat resulted from complet-ing the task (some tasks donot have tangible results, socongratulate yourself for suc-cessfully completing the task).

• listen for and write down eachcompliment or positive feed-back you are given (including“nice earrings”).

• At the end of the day, look atand feel proud of the thingsyou crossed off your “to do” list (rather than beating yourself up for what was not completed).

The next meal you cookthat is well received, imagineyour reservoir filling a little. The next time you complete adifficult task, finish a book youstarted, deliver a project ontime or make that difficultphone call you have beenavoiding, pour the awarenessinto your reservoir.

For those with low self-esteem it takes practice to hearthe good feedback that comesfrom others and take it in. It isimperative to our physical,emotional, mental and spiritualhealth that we are able toacknowledge, own and recog-nize each of our achievements.We need to be able to acceptour own inner knowledge of “a job well done” when that isthe case. Once we connect withthis information, it bolsters ourvocational identity, increasesour ability quotient and at the deepest level, fills our self-esteem and self-worth reservoir.

Postscript: Are you one of themany people who do great work,but cannot feel a connection toit? Cynthia is currently inter-viewing such people for a bookentitled, Thriving at WorkWhile Feeling Like a Fraud.If you would like to share yourexperiences, please write toCynthia at the e-mail addressbelow.

In January 2006, Alpha Phi was offered an outstanding opportunity with aninvitation for a formal extension presentation at Dartmouth College in Hanover,N.H. For weeks the extension committee and presentation team spent countlesshours preparing for this occasion, and when it was all said and done their hardwork paid off with a new Alpha Phi colony.

The presentation team felt at home in Hanover during their short stay. The evening before the presentation, Vicky Riley (Beta Delta-UCLA) hosted a reception at her home. This was a reception like no other. The energy in theroom was contagious and proved an inspiration for the team that would presentthe next day. The women in attendance ranged in age and background, andnearly all of them possessed a strong connection to Dartmouth College.

The next day was spent touring campus and meeting students and adminis-trators; it concluded with a formal presentation to members of the Greek com-munity. The presentation team included Susan Zabriskie (Theta-Michigan),Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado), Laura Davidson(Beta Delta-UCLA), Meghan Dubyak (Delta-Cornell), Corina Scott (ZetaOmicron deuteron-Johns Hopkins), Megan Bouché (Epsilon-Minnesota),Lindsay Martin (Beta Psi-San Jose State) and Vicky Riley.

A few weeks later, the official invitation to colonize was presented to Alpha Phi, and the offer was happily accepted. On March 28, EducationalLeadership Consultant Ann Thorne (Zeta Iota deuteron-Virginia) arrived oncampus to support the new colony. Ann spent spring term working with ournewest members to introduce them to Alpha Phi and guide them through the process of creating their chapter. They have weekly meetings, recruitmentevents, alumnae interaction and plenty of marketing activities to keep them busy as they establish themselves. These efforts are also supported by numerouslocal alumnae.

The colony will continue to grow over the next few months, as DartmouthCollege has a summer term. Their time together will prepare the colony for formal recruitment, currently slated for Oct. 3-9, 2006. If you know a womanattending Dartmouth who would be a candidate for charter membership, please contact Megan Bouché at mbouche@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8926 with further information.

Alumna Introduces Sixth Graders to CollegeUniversity of Missouri alumna and Mizzou AlumniAssociation PresidentJill Waldrop(Omicron-Missouri)led a group of Tertulia CharterSchool (Phoenix,

Ariz.) sixth graders from underprivilegedneighborhoods on a three-day tour of theuniversity’s campus. Events such as attend-ing Missouri Tigers men’s and women’s

basketball games, “freshmen orientation,” a walking tour of the campus, a visit withalumni, a tour of Spanish/English news-paper Adelante! and a meeting with theuniversity chancellor were geared to showthe children that a college education ispossible and worth obtaining.

I knew when I graduated fromPurdue I wanted to pursue acareer that would fuse my twopassions: law and sports. Thesepassions presented a uniqueopportunity this winter: Iattended the 2006 OlympicGames in Torino, Italy, repre-senting the Valparaiso Schoolof Law Sports Law Clinic.

In May 2005, my lawschool implemented a programin which law students representamateur athletes in legal mat-ters at no cost to the athlete.We are granted a special license by the Supreme Courtof Indiana to practice law with the supervision of ourprofessor.

I was selected as one of theinitial research assistants for theSports Law Clinic and helpedset up protocol and procedures.A team of 10 law students andone professor have taken casesfrom across the country, work-

ing on cases as actual lawyers. The clinic has been a great

success; we have representedathletes at the high school,college and Olympic level. Inan effort to bring our missionto the international stage, wewere approved to travel to the2006 Winter Olympic Games.I was one of three studentsselected to travel on behalf ofthe clinic, along with our pro-fessor, Michael Straubel, andour media consultant, TomShaer. It was a great honor,especially since I was the onlyfemale in the group.

We set up an office andmeeting space and hostedvarious major media outletssuch as USA Today, The NewYork Times, Bloomberg Newsand others who came to us insearch of legal expertise aboutissues that arise with compe-tition. It was exhilarating tospeak with the media about

sports law issues on an inter-national scale! We also wereinvited to a U.S. Embassyreception where we shared our work with dignitaries and athletes.

The 2006 Olympic Gamesin Torino were a spectacularevent because the integrity ofsports was greatly upheld. Onlyone doping case emerged frommore than 1,000 drug testsadministered to athletes.

I felt a great sense of prideeven being a spectator at someevents. I was able to attend fiveevents, including men’s 5000-meter speed skating. I wasactually in the Oval whenChad Hedrick skated to winAmerica’s first gold medal!

The camaraderie among thefans from all countries mademe feel like a champion as well.As I exited the speed skatingevent, fans from all over theworld congratulated me andmy colleagues on “our” firstgold. It was a tremendous feeling of being proud to be an American.

While we never were pre-sented with a case, my Torinoexperience was amazing andinvaluable. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity topursue my dream career. I felt I was not only representingValparaiso, but also Purdue,Alpha Phi and the U.S.A. I look forward to even biggerthings for Beijing in 2008!

Pictured are (back, from left) JeanCameron (Gamma Nu-Miami University), president1998-2002; Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado), 2002-06; (front, from left) NancyWittgen Burks DeVoe (Gamma-DePauw), 1982-86;Phyllis Sims Selig (Gamma Delta-Kansas), 1974-78;and Sally McCall Grant (Gamma-DePauw), 1986-90.Virginia Burson Struble (Beta Kappa-Denison), 1990-94, is not pictured. Mary Carr Boyd (Gamma-DePauw and Omicron-Missouri), 1978-82, and LindaGardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina), 1994-98,were unable to attend.

The Past Presidents Council, begun in 1995 by then President Linda Massie, was established in aneffort to continuously utilize the knowledge and insight of those who have devoted much of their lives to leading the Fraternity.

It is the responsibility of every initiated AlphaPhi to see that the badge she wears is protected and is never worn by, or in the

possession of, a non-member. When an AlphaPhi enters the Silent Chapter, her badge may be

buried with her or returned to the Executive Office, where it willbe preserved in the memorabilia collection.

Alpha Phi collegians, alumnaeand International representa-tives traveled to Washington,D.C., in April for a fourthannual Capitol Hill visit. Thepurpose is to gain support ofsenators and congressmen,especially those with Greekaffiliations, for the CollegiateHousing and Infrastructure Actof 2005 – H.R. 1548 in theHouse and S.713 in the Senate.

Passage would allow frater-nity and sorority foundationsto use tax-deductible financialcontributions to make grants tolocal house corporations forinfrastructure improvements tomeeting and dining areas inchapter houses in the same waythat the tax code currentlyallows colleges and universitiesto use tax-deductible contribu-tions to improve university-owned student housing oncampus. This legislation wouldallow the Alpha Phi Founda-tion to award grants for safetyimprovements to chapter houses in addition to grantsdesignated for educational purposes.

This is the first year AlphaPhi expanded its participationbeyond International represen-tatives. Alpha Phi sisters whowork on the Hill were invitedto the Congressional receptionheld following the 350 visitsGreeks made that day. FourAlpha Phi collegians also were invited to participate:Elizabeth Feste (Eta Mu-Marquette), AnaluciaLopezrevoredo (Zeta Beta-Loyola Marymount), LeighEllen Lybrand (Zeta Iotadeuteron-Virginia) andKatelyn Morris (Alpha-

Syracuse). They were among 70 collegians representing more than 50 North-AmericanInterfraternity Conference,National Panhellenic Confer-ence, National Pan HellenicCouncil and National Associa-tion of Latino Fraternal Or-ganizations groups.

Elizabeth, a political scienceand international affairs doublemajor, had interned for theHouse of Representativescommittee on small businessand served as a page for theHouse during high school. “It was a neat experience to beon the other side lobbying,”she says. “It was an excellentopportunity to understand howlegislation affects our Greekcommunity. I was impressedwith the number of Greeks onCapitol Hill.”

Ana is a political science and urban studies double majorwith extensive experiencelobbying Congress on behalf of Girl Scouts of America® andworking with grassroots initia-tives in California. She hasinterned for CongressmanChristopher Cox in SouthernCalifornia and Los AngelesCouncilmember Bill Rosen-dahl. Additionally, she wasinvolved with the 2005 LosAngeles mayoral election.

“I came away knowing I have the ability to combine my passions – Alpha Phi andpolitics – into a future pro-fession,” Ana says. “I wasfascinated to learn how largethe interfraternal politicalaction committee is and howstrong it has become since itfirst began. I have done similarlobbying with the Girl Scouts.

The difference was everyonewanted to talk to the GirlScouts; not everyone wanted totalk to Greeks. Despite the dif-ferences, I was thrilled to bepart of such a dynamic team.”

Leigh Ellen, a political phi-losophy, policy and law major,has worked as a congressman’sintern on Capitol Hill, but says she never participated inanything like this before.“Through training and officevisits, I came away with anincreased understanding aboutwhat most lobbyists do,” shesays. “The commitment Greekmembers of Congress feel fortheir chapters and organiza-tions was evident,” she adds.“Many began their careers leading collegiate chapters,emphasizing the fact that Greek organizations developpeople of character who arecommitted to service for life.”

Katelyn is a triple major inbroadcast journalism, politicalscience and political philoso-phy. She spent the past twosummers in political intern-ships – with New York SenatorJoe Robach and in London inParliament. This was her firsttime lobbying as well. “The

whole experience was veryrewarding,” she says. “The tripwas a wonderful way to seewhat happens with our organi-zations beyond our collegecampuses. To have so manybright Greek men and womenin one place working togetherwas an amazing experience.”

Alpha Phis Lobby on the Hill

Alpha Phi representatives visit Capitol Hill to gain support for the Collegiate Housingand Infrastructure Act of 2005.

This job is in quite a different industry for you …True! I’ve turned in my chef whites and traded themfor business suits. Before accepting the interim EDposition, I worked as a chef and owned my owncatering business. I also wrote and managed a Web site about cooking and dining out in Chicago. And I’veworked as an executive chef in a restaurant, developednew product lines for a food business and cooked forfamilies as a personal chef.

Is cooking what brought you to Chicago?No, I first came to Evanston right after graduation; I was hired as an educational leadership consultant.When I finished my year “on the road” for Alpha Phi, I thought about graduate school or making the “bigbucks.” I chose the latter and worked for Ernst &Young’s strategy consulting division as a recruiter – or “professional rusher.” After two years, I realized I preferred non-profits, where big impact replaced big buck, but I could actually help an organization I valued move forward. I applied for the publicationsjob at the Foundation – I realized I could actually usemy journalism degree – and became part of a team that made the Foundation grow.

So you’re not stepping right out of the kitchen and into the non-profit world?I loved my work at the Foundation, but I alsorecognized my passion for cooking, so I enrolled in the culinary program at the Cooking and HospitalityInstitute of Chicago. I went to school at night, tookjust a few classes at a time and worked weekends for a catering company. After more than three years ofswitching hats daily, I decided to pursue cooking full-time.

How did all your experiences prepare you for this position?All the reality TV shows make being a chef out to be very glamorous and non-stop creative work. But I learned pretty quickly that the food world is really a business world, and the skills that make you a goodbusiness woman are much the same as the skills thatmake you a good chef.

Plus, I’ve worked under some of the best Foundation leadership in the fraternal world: formerExecutive Directors Nancy Owen Craig (Beta Chi-Bucknell) and Rebecca Zanatta. No doubt I’ll bring my own leadership style to the organization, but Nancy and Becca – and the many board directors I’veworked with over the years – helped me develop mystrategies and philosophies that will be important forthe Foundation’s future.

Any ideas about what can we expect from theFoundation during the next year?Do I have new ideas? Oh, yes. I consider myself an“idea person,” and I think the present Foundation staffhas tons of their own. Alpha Phi is known for itsfundraising innovation, and I expect to build on this.

And you’re expecting something else this year …That’s right! By the time this issue of the Quarterly hitsmailboxes, my husband Andrew and I will have ourfirst child! We’re very excited about it all – even the up-all-night feedings. And we’re excited about this newopportunity at the Foundation too. Hopefully no onewill notice the dark circles under my eyes …

Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Emily and Andrew on the birth of Asher Miles on May 17.

Beta Beta Bond

In the spring of 1960, a group of 21 women joined the Beta Beta chapterat Michigan State University. The chapter’s size was smaller then, and thehouse could sleep only 36 in shared bedrooms.

“Because of that, we became a lot closer than some of the houses with50 or more girls. We lived in such close proximity, and no one had cars, so much of our social activity took place around the house,” MartyHagan Weber (Beta Beta-Michigan State) says.

After graduation in 1963, each one went her own way, yet this groupof Alpha Phi sisters didn’t want to grow apart. So the following holidayseason they began a newsletter to stay connected. Each woman sent hernews to the “editor” who compiled the newsletter and sent it out. Today’stechnology enables the women to each prepare their own letters with photos and updates about children, grandchildren, favorite books, traveland life’s joys and concerns.

In 43 years, they’ve never missed a newsletter. “I really think it has kept us together and been a source of

inspiration and support,” says Jane Phillips (Beta Beta-Michigan State).“Over the years, in good times and bad, we all felt comfortable

sharing honestly in the newsletter,” says Karen Abel Kolschowsky(Beta Beta-Michigan State), who gets a lot of credit from her sisters forkeeping the group together. “We were always supportive of those goingthrough a difficult time,” she says.

Marty agrees. “We’ve bonded through life’s trials, cancer problems and losing three sisters and four husbands. It’s kept us really close. Weshare things with each other that we probably don’t tell our best friends in our hometown.” Today, the friends are spread out from WashingtonState to Bermuda. But because they have stayed connected for so long,those bonds have grown stronger, says Mary Martell Mason (Beta Beta-Michigan State).

While there are smaller groups within the large group that keep intouch between newsletters, the entire class makes an effort to gather everyfew years for a reunion. The most recent reunion (pictured) was held inthe Smoky Mountains – for the first time ever with their husbands.

When the group gathered in 2003 to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the women decided to work with the Foundation to create a scholarshipfund for undergraduate members of the Beta Beta chapter. They begancollecting contributions, and within two years they had raised enoughmoney to endow the Class of ’63 40th Anniversary Scholarship. Thescholarship was first awarded in the 2003-04 school year.

“The scholarship and gifts to the Foundation are ways we can helpprovide the experience we had for other women,” Jane says.

“Alpha Phi taught us how important women’s groups are to women.Joining the sorority taught us how to support each other,” says JoanneSandow Draper (Beta Beta-Michigan State). “Many of us have had verydifficult times in our lives, but this network of women has done wondersto help us support each other through it all.”

For more information about the Class of ’63 40th Anniversary Scholarship for Beta Beta undergraduate members, contact Foundation Coordinator of Programs andChapter Development Patricia Waddell (Eta Mu-Marquette) at 847.465.4532 or pwaddell@alphaphi.org.

OUR APOLOGIES

The Alpha Phi Foundation regrets the following errors from its 2004-05 Annual Report of Donors:

• Zeta Epsilon chapter is incorrectly listed as Indiana State/SE. The correct listing is Indiana University Southeast.

• Heather Douglas Snoddy (Psi-South Dakota) should be noted as a member of the Silent Chapter.

Thank you for understanding and for bringing these errors to our attention.

“ “Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made and the things which in common we share;

We want to live on not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care;

It’s giving and doing for somebody else – on that all life’s splendor depends,

And the joy of this world, when you summed it all up, is found in the making of friends.

Marty Hagan Weber (Beta Beta-Michigan State) says the last stanza from the poem “The Making of Friends” by Edgar A. Guest is a reminder of the friendships she has with Alpha Phi sisters.
