Message from the International PresidentDear Sisters

Life was a challenge for women in 1872 ndash especially if you were a woman who desired an education The idea of coeducation posed a serious threat to societyrsquos belief that men and women were vastly different in their ability to learn Back then many people were concerned that educating women posed all kinds of dangers They worried that girls who spent too much energy developing their minds

during puberty would end up with undeveloped or diseased reproductive systems Some feared ndash and this is my favorite ndash if men and women associated together in college they might find each other less attractive

This was the popular culture our young Founders faced These were the types of challenges they accepted when they chose to enter Syracuse University as 10 of the first 20 women to be admitted

Alpha Phirsquos Original Ten were extraordinary women They were optimists and they were doers They had a vision of a worldwide womenrsquos society based on sisterhood scholarship and service They knew it would take courage hard work and action to transform their dream into reality They also knew for Alpha Phi to stand the test of time they had to inspire a sense of commitment equal to their own in future generations hellip in women they would never meet They did this the only way they knew ndash by example

They set the tone in Alpha Phi more than a century ago not by making promises to us but rather by challenging us They set the expectation that no matter the circumstances no matter the problem or the obstacle no matter the changes in society or the course of world events Alpha Phi must find a way to be successful strong and proud And we have for 141 years

It was my great pleasure to celebrate Foundersrsquo Day this year with Alpha Phis in New York Houston Atlanta Los Angeles Chicago and Evanston Of historic note was the release of Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history (read more about this project on page 35) A personal highlight for me was listening to its author Alpha Phi Foundation Archivist Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) discuss her research on the book I was enthralled by each magnificent story Jenny signed my copy and Irsquove read it cover to cover It occupies a place of prominence in my living room Each time I see it I am reminded the work we do today will one day be written about on a page in another history book I hope readers 100 years from now will swell with pride when they read about all we have accomplished during this period of time

2 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

In fall 2013 Alpha Phi celebrated 141 years of extraordinary sisterhood ndash and what a milestone it was To commemorate our Founders Alpha Phi International Fraternity and Alpha Phi Foundation hosted Foundersrsquo Day events around the US to connect sisters and reflect on our rich history

Houston Atlanta Los Angeles New York Chicago and Evanston were selected as the locations for the second year of Alpha Phi International-sponsored Foundersrsquo Day events Local alumnae were asked to coordinate the celebrations with support from the Executive Office staff

International President Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) Foundation Chair Diane Spry Straker (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) and other notable Alpha Phi volunteers spoke at the events

ldquoIt was incredibly powerful to witness how 10 women more than 140 years ago could create an organization that would impact women for generations to comerdquo said Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquo

Members from 26 chapters spanning all ages attended the Foundersrsquo Day celebration in Houston the largest group having initiated at the Texas (Omega) chapter Alumnae capitalized on the opportunity for a reunion with chapter sisters

ldquoWhat struck me most was the inter-connectedness of our sisterhood beyond collegiate and alumnae chaptersrdquo says Amy Pithan (Epsilon Omega-Texas AampM) an attendee at the Houston event ldquoFor this day and all days we are tied together through the generationsrdquo

Reunions were in no shortage at the Atlanta event bringing in sisters from 22 chapters Most notably a high number of Georgia Tech (Iota Mu) and Clemson (Iota Rho) alumnae attended making it especially meaningful for event chair Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) She had served as extension team lead for both chapters

ldquoThese events are an opportunity to get together with so many different chapters and age groupsrdquo said Crista who also is a former International President ldquoWe come together to focus on the Original Ten with such a broad scope of alumnae It was also special that Georgia Tech collegians initiated their new members that very same morningrdquo

Gold Society Development Officer Jenn Barton (Theta Phi-Christopher Newport) felt the events were welcoming friendly and a great opportunity to network with sisters ldquoHalfway through the event we were all out of our chairs chatting and getting to know each otherrdquo Jenn said ldquoFrom the outside in it looked like a recruitment partyrdquo

The Los Angeles event was also a huge success with attendees

representing 29 chapters Event chair Laura Davidson Ellett (Beta Delta-UCLA) was pleased to see so many surprise connections at the event

ldquoThese events attract a group of women who are not advisors or volunteers and remind them of the bonds of Alpha Phirdquo said Laura ldquoSeveral sisters saw women they know from another volunteer activity or their professional life They might not have even known they were part of Alpha Phirdquo

The New York City Foundersrsquo Day event brought together Alpha Phis from 23 chapters Sisters mingled over food and great conversation ldquoFor me the most meaningful thing about the celebration of Foundersrsquo Day is connectionrdquo said Mary Beth Cooleen Tully (Epsilon Psi-Lehigh) New York City event chair ldquoFoundersrsquo Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on all of those who have come before us to create the organization we know and love todayrdquo

A highlight for Missy Wagasy (Beta Beta-Michigan State) director of special campaigns and programs for Alpha Phi Foundation was witnessing a special professional connection form between sisters

ldquoI met a young woman who had just graduated this past spring and was looking for a job in public relationsrdquo said Missy ldquoI connected her with one of our Gold Society donors also in attendance The recent graduate just got an internship through this connectionrdquo

Festivities wrapped up with Foundersrsquo Day events in Chicago and Evanston Women from more than 30 chapters attended as the Foundation celebrated the official launch of its new Alpha Phi history book Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate)

The book is the first in a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos history Volume one was made possible in large part due to the generosity of Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead gift inspired others to invest in the project (Read more about the history book on page 35)

ldquoIt only seemed fitting to launch this publication on the occasion of Foundersrsquo Dayrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) Alpha Phi Foundation executive director ldquoThis book was four years in the making and the Foundation and heritage committee were thrilled to launch it in the company of alumnae from as far as Florida Ohio and Californiardquo

The Foundersrsquo Day celebrations not only connected attendees to our past but also to current and future sisters Special thanks to the chairs and additional volunteers who helped make all events a success

ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquondash Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Chain of SurvivalThe American Heart Association recommends these five links in its adult Chain of Survival in an emergency cardiovascular situation

bull Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system

bull Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions

bull Rapid defibrillation with AED

bull Effective advanced life support

bull Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Message from the International PresidentDear Sisters

Life was a challenge for women in 1872 ndash especially if you were a woman who desired an education The idea of coeducation posed a serious threat to societyrsquos belief that men and women were vastly different in their ability to learn Back then many people were concerned that educating women posed all kinds of dangers They worried that girls who spent too much energy developing their minds

during puberty would end up with undeveloped or diseased reproductive systems Some feared ndash and this is my favorite ndash if men and women associated together in college they might find each other less attractive

This was the popular culture our young Founders faced These were the types of challenges they accepted when they chose to enter Syracuse University as 10 of the first 20 women to be admitted

Alpha Phirsquos Original Ten were extraordinary women They were optimists and they were doers They had a vision of a worldwide womenrsquos society based on sisterhood scholarship and service They knew it would take courage hard work and action to transform their dream into reality They also knew for Alpha Phi to stand the test of time they had to inspire a sense of commitment equal to their own in future generations hellip in women they would never meet They did this the only way they knew ndash by example

They set the tone in Alpha Phi more than a century ago not by making promises to us but rather by challenging us They set the expectation that no matter the circumstances no matter the problem or the obstacle no matter the changes in society or the course of world events Alpha Phi must find a way to be successful strong and proud And we have for 141 years

It was my great pleasure to celebrate Foundersrsquo Day this year with Alpha Phis in New York Houston Atlanta Los Angeles Chicago and Evanston Of historic note was the release of Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history (read more about this project on page 35) A personal highlight for me was listening to its author Alpha Phi Foundation Archivist Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) discuss her research on the book I was enthralled by each magnificent story Jenny signed my copy and Irsquove read it cover to cover It occupies a place of prominence in my living room Each time I see it I am reminded the work we do today will one day be written about on a page in another history book I hope readers 100 years from now will swell with pride when they read about all we have accomplished during this period of time

2 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

In fall 2013 Alpha Phi celebrated 141 years of extraordinary sisterhood ndash and what a milestone it was To commemorate our Founders Alpha Phi International Fraternity and Alpha Phi Foundation hosted Foundersrsquo Day events around the US to connect sisters and reflect on our rich history

Houston Atlanta Los Angeles New York Chicago and Evanston were selected as the locations for the second year of Alpha Phi International-sponsored Foundersrsquo Day events Local alumnae were asked to coordinate the celebrations with support from the Executive Office staff

International President Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) Foundation Chair Diane Spry Straker (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) and other notable Alpha Phi volunteers spoke at the events

ldquoIt was incredibly powerful to witness how 10 women more than 140 years ago could create an organization that would impact women for generations to comerdquo said Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquo

Members from 26 chapters spanning all ages attended the Foundersrsquo Day celebration in Houston the largest group having initiated at the Texas (Omega) chapter Alumnae capitalized on the opportunity for a reunion with chapter sisters

ldquoWhat struck me most was the inter-connectedness of our sisterhood beyond collegiate and alumnae chaptersrdquo says Amy Pithan (Epsilon Omega-Texas AampM) an attendee at the Houston event ldquoFor this day and all days we are tied together through the generationsrdquo

Reunions were in no shortage at the Atlanta event bringing in sisters from 22 chapters Most notably a high number of Georgia Tech (Iota Mu) and Clemson (Iota Rho) alumnae attended making it especially meaningful for event chair Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) She had served as extension team lead for both chapters

ldquoThese events are an opportunity to get together with so many different chapters and age groupsrdquo said Crista who also is a former International President ldquoWe come together to focus on the Original Ten with such a broad scope of alumnae It was also special that Georgia Tech collegians initiated their new members that very same morningrdquo

Gold Society Development Officer Jenn Barton (Theta Phi-Christopher Newport) felt the events were welcoming friendly and a great opportunity to network with sisters ldquoHalfway through the event we were all out of our chairs chatting and getting to know each otherrdquo Jenn said ldquoFrom the outside in it looked like a recruitment partyrdquo

The Los Angeles event was also a huge success with attendees

representing 29 chapters Event chair Laura Davidson Ellett (Beta Delta-UCLA) was pleased to see so many surprise connections at the event

ldquoThese events attract a group of women who are not advisors or volunteers and remind them of the bonds of Alpha Phirdquo said Laura ldquoSeveral sisters saw women they know from another volunteer activity or their professional life They might not have even known they were part of Alpha Phirdquo

The New York City Foundersrsquo Day event brought together Alpha Phis from 23 chapters Sisters mingled over food and great conversation ldquoFor me the most meaningful thing about the celebration of Foundersrsquo Day is connectionrdquo said Mary Beth Cooleen Tully (Epsilon Psi-Lehigh) New York City event chair ldquoFoundersrsquo Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on all of those who have come before us to create the organization we know and love todayrdquo

A highlight for Missy Wagasy (Beta Beta-Michigan State) director of special campaigns and programs for Alpha Phi Foundation was witnessing a special professional connection form between sisters

ldquoI met a young woman who had just graduated this past spring and was looking for a job in public relationsrdquo said Missy ldquoI connected her with one of our Gold Society donors also in attendance The recent graduate just got an internship through this connectionrdquo

Festivities wrapped up with Foundersrsquo Day events in Chicago and Evanston Women from more than 30 chapters attended as the Foundation celebrated the official launch of its new Alpha Phi history book Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate)

The book is the first in a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos history Volume one was made possible in large part due to the generosity of Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead gift inspired others to invest in the project (Read more about the history book on page 35)

ldquoIt only seemed fitting to launch this publication on the occasion of Foundersrsquo Dayrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) Alpha Phi Foundation executive director ldquoThis book was four years in the making and the Foundation and heritage committee were thrilled to launch it in the company of alumnae from as far as Florida Ohio and Californiardquo

The Foundersrsquo Day celebrations not only connected attendees to our past but also to current and future sisters Special thanks to the chairs and additional volunteers who helped make all events a success

ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquondash Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

2 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

In fall 2013 Alpha Phi celebrated 141 years of extraordinary sisterhood ndash and what a milestone it was To commemorate our Founders Alpha Phi International Fraternity and Alpha Phi Foundation hosted Foundersrsquo Day events around the US to connect sisters and reflect on our rich history

Houston Atlanta Los Angeles New York Chicago and Evanston were selected as the locations for the second year of Alpha Phi International-sponsored Foundersrsquo Day events Local alumnae were asked to coordinate the celebrations with support from the Executive Office staff

International President Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) Foundation Chair Diane Spry Straker (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) and other notable Alpha Phi volunteers spoke at the events

ldquoIt was incredibly powerful to witness how 10 women more than 140 years ago could create an organization that would impact women for generations to comerdquo said Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquo

Members from 26 chapters spanning all ages attended the Foundersrsquo Day celebration in Houston the largest group having initiated at the Texas (Omega) chapter Alumnae capitalized on the opportunity for a reunion with chapter sisters

ldquoWhat struck me most was the inter-connectedness of our sisterhood beyond collegiate and alumnae chaptersrdquo says Amy Pithan (Epsilon Omega-Texas AampM) an attendee at the Houston event ldquoFor this day and all days we are tied together through the generationsrdquo

Reunions were in no shortage at the Atlanta event bringing in sisters from 22 chapters Most notably a high number of Georgia Tech (Iota Mu) and Clemson (Iota Rho) alumnae attended making it especially meaningful for event chair Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) She had served as extension team lead for both chapters

ldquoThese events are an opportunity to get together with so many different chapters and age groupsrdquo said Crista who also is a former International President ldquoWe come together to focus on the Original Ten with such a broad scope of alumnae It was also special that Georgia Tech collegians initiated their new members that very same morningrdquo

Gold Society Development Officer Jenn Barton (Theta Phi-Christopher Newport) felt the events were welcoming friendly and a great opportunity to network with sisters ldquoHalfway through the event we were all out of our chairs chatting and getting to know each otherrdquo Jenn said ldquoFrom the outside in it looked like a recruitment partyrdquo

The Los Angeles event was also a huge success with attendees

representing 29 chapters Event chair Laura Davidson Ellett (Beta Delta-UCLA) was pleased to see so many surprise connections at the event

ldquoThese events attract a group of women who are not advisors or volunteers and remind them of the bonds of Alpha Phirdquo said Laura ldquoSeveral sisters saw women they know from another volunteer activity or their professional life They might not have even known they were part of Alpha Phirdquo

The New York City Foundersrsquo Day event brought together Alpha Phis from 23 chapters Sisters mingled over food and great conversation ldquoFor me the most meaningful thing about the celebration of Foundersrsquo Day is connectionrdquo said Mary Beth Cooleen Tully (Epsilon Psi-Lehigh) New York City event chair ldquoFoundersrsquo Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on all of those who have come before us to create the organization we know and love todayrdquo

A highlight for Missy Wagasy (Beta Beta-Michigan State) director of special campaigns and programs for Alpha Phi Foundation was witnessing a special professional connection form between sisters

ldquoI met a young woman who had just graduated this past spring and was looking for a job in public relationsrdquo said Missy ldquoI connected her with one of our Gold Society donors also in attendance The recent graduate just got an internship through this connectionrdquo

Festivities wrapped up with Foundersrsquo Day events in Chicago and Evanston Women from more than 30 chapters attended as the Foundation celebrated the official launch of its new Alpha Phi history book Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate)

The book is the first in a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos history Volume one was made possible in large part due to the generosity of Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead gift inspired others to invest in the project (Read more about the history book on page 35)

ldquoIt only seemed fitting to launch this publication on the occasion of Foundersrsquo Dayrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) Alpha Phi Foundation executive director ldquoThis book was four years in the making and the Foundation and heritage committee were thrilled to launch it in the company of alumnae from as far as Florida Ohio and Californiardquo

The Foundersrsquo Day celebrations not only connected attendees to our past but also to current and future sisters Special thanks to the chairs and additional volunteers who helped make all events a success

ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquondash Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

2 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

In fall 2013 Alpha Phi celebrated 141 years of extraordinary sisterhood ndash and what a milestone it was To commemorate our Founders Alpha Phi International Fraternity and Alpha Phi Foundation hosted Foundersrsquo Day events around the US to connect sisters and reflect on our rich history

Houston Atlanta Los Angeles New York Chicago and Evanston were selected as the locations for the second year of Alpha Phi International-sponsored Foundersrsquo Day events Local alumnae were asked to coordinate the celebrations with support from the Executive Office staff

International President Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) Foundation Chair Diane Spry Straker (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) and other notable Alpha Phi volunteers spoke at the events

ldquoIt was incredibly powerful to witness how 10 women more than 140 years ago could create an organization that would impact women for generations to comerdquo said Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquo

Members from 26 chapters spanning all ages attended the Foundersrsquo Day celebration in Houston the largest group having initiated at the Texas (Omega) chapter Alumnae capitalized on the opportunity for a reunion with chapter sisters

ldquoWhat struck me most was the inter-connectedness of our sisterhood beyond collegiate and alumnae chaptersrdquo says Amy Pithan (Epsilon Omega-Texas AampM) an attendee at the Houston event ldquoFor this day and all days we are tied together through the generationsrdquo

Reunions were in no shortage at the Atlanta event bringing in sisters from 22 chapters Most notably a high number of Georgia Tech (Iota Mu) and Clemson (Iota Rho) alumnae attended making it especially meaningful for event chair Crista Cate Vasina (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) She had served as extension team lead for both chapters

ldquoThese events are an opportunity to get together with so many different chapters and age groupsrdquo said Crista who also is a former International President ldquoWe come together to focus on the Original Ten with such a broad scope of alumnae It was also special that Georgia Tech collegians initiated their new members that very same morningrdquo

Gold Society Development Officer Jenn Barton (Theta Phi-Christopher Newport) felt the events were welcoming friendly and a great opportunity to network with sisters ldquoHalfway through the event we were all out of our chairs chatting and getting to know each otherrdquo Jenn said ldquoFrom the outside in it looked like a recruitment partyrdquo

The Los Angeles event was also a huge success with attendees

representing 29 chapters Event chair Laura Davidson Ellett (Beta Delta-UCLA) was pleased to see so many surprise connections at the event

ldquoThese events attract a group of women who are not advisors or volunteers and remind them of the bonds of Alpha Phirdquo said Laura ldquoSeveral sisters saw women they know from another volunteer activity or their professional life They might not have even known they were part of Alpha Phirdquo

The New York City Foundersrsquo Day event brought together Alpha Phis from 23 chapters Sisters mingled over food and great conversation ldquoFor me the most meaningful thing about the celebration of Foundersrsquo Day is connectionrdquo said Mary Beth Cooleen Tully (Epsilon Psi-Lehigh) New York City event chair ldquoFoundersrsquo Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on all of those who have come before us to create the organization we know and love todayrdquo

A highlight for Missy Wagasy (Beta Beta-Michigan State) director of special campaigns and programs for Alpha Phi Foundation was witnessing a special professional connection form between sisters

ldquoI met a young woman who had just graduated this past spring and was looking for a job in public relationsrdquo said Missy ldquoI connected her with one of our Gold Society donors also in attendance The recent graduate just got an internship through this connectionrdquo

Festivities wrapped up with Foundersrsquo Day events in Chicago and Evanston Women from more than 30 chapters attended as the Foundation celebrated the official launch of its new Alpha Phi history book Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate)

The book is the first in a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos history Volume one was made possible in large part due to the generosity of Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead gift inspired others to invest in the project (Read more about the history book on page 35)

ldquoIt only seemed fitting to launch this publication on the occasion of Foundersrsquo Dayrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) Alpha Phi Foundation executive director ldquoThis book was four years in the making and the Foundation and heritage committee were thrilled to launch it in the company of alumnae from as far as Florida Ohio and Californiardquo

The Foundersrsquo Day celebrations not only connected attendees to our past but also to current and future sisters Special thanks to the chairs and additional volunteers who helped make all events a success

ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquondash Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

representing 29 chapters Event chair Laura Davidson Ellett (Beta Delta-UCLA) was pleased to see so many surprise connections at the event

ldquoThese events attract a group of women who are not advisors or volunteers and remind them of the bonds of Alpha Phirdquo said Laura ldquoSeveral sisters saw women they know from another volunteer activity or their professional life They might not have even known they were part of Alpha Phirdquo

The New York City Foundersrsquo Day event brought together Alpha Phis from 23 chapters Sisters mingled over food and great conversation ldquoFor me the most meaningful thing about the celebration of Foundersrsquo Day is connectionrdquo said Mary Beth Cooleen Tully (Epsilon Psi-Lehigh) New York City event chair ldquoFoundersrsquo Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on all of those who have come before us to create the organization we know and love todayrdquo

A highlight for Missy Wagasy (Beta Beta-Michigan State) director of special campaigns and programs for Alpha Phi Foundation was witnessing a special professional connection form between sisters

ldquoI met a young woman who had just graduated this past spring and was looking for a job in public relationsrdquo said Missy ldquoI connected her with one of our Gold Society donors also in attendance The recent graduate just got an internship through this connectionrdquo

Festivities wrapped up with Foundersrsquo Day events in Chicago and Evanston Women from more than 30 chapters attended as the Foundation celebrated the official launch of its new Alpha Phi history book Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate)

The book is the first in a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos history Volume one was made possible in large part due to the generosity of Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead gift inspired others to invest in the project (Read more about the history book on page 35)

ldquoIt only seemed fitting to launch this publication on the occasion of Foundersrsquo Dayrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) Alpha Phi Foundation executive director ldquoThis book was four years in the making and the Foundation and heritage committee were thrilled to launch it in the company of alumnae from as far as Florida Ohio and Californiardquo

The Foundersrsquo Day celebrations not only connected attendees to our past but also to current and future sisters Special thanks to the chairs and additional volunteers who helped make all events a success

ldquoThese events bring us together to celebrate an organization that has impacted us all in so many waysrdquondash Gwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon-Lake Forest) chair of the Houston event

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Chain of SurvivalThe American Heart Association recommends these five links in its adult Chain of Survival in an emergency cardiovascular situation

bull Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system

bull Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions

bull Rapid defibrillation with AED

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

Next fall Alpha Phis will reside on their own separate floor of on-campus housing In the fall of 2015 the chapter will move into their temporary home at the renovated LSU Press Building on sorority row Once the new house is completed Alpha Phi will move into their permanent residence to be located on sorority row

A huge thank you goes to the members of Team Tigers and all of the volunteers who helped during colonization The local Alpha Phi alumnae are an amazing support system for the colony

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

Next fall Alpha Phis will reside on their own separate floor of on-campus housing In the fall of 2015 the chapter will move into their temporary home at the renovated LSU Press Building on sorority row Once the new house is completed Alpha Phi will move into their permanent residence to be located on sorority row

A huge thank you goes to the members of Team Tigers and all of the volunteers who helped during colonization The local Alpha Phi alumnae are an amazing support system for the colony

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

10 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

TWO SISTERSrsquo LIFESAVING STORIESNancy Callan Mauger (Gamma Kappa-CSULong Beach) was in her mid 60s when doctors shocked her heart back into regular rhythm She had woken up earlier that morning

and noticed her heart was beating a little faster than normal She tried to relax but it got progressively worse through the day

ldquoI called my doctor who told me to come inrdquo says Nancy ldquoWhen I got there he did an electrocardiogram (EKG) test and told me I needed to go to the hospital He asked if I could walk there if he and Ralph my husband accompanied me I knew I couldnrsquot ndash even though it was directly across the street Paramedics immediately transported me to the hospitalrdquo

Once in the hospital doctors determined that the fastest and safest way to get Nancyrsquos heart back into rhythm was to shock her using an AED Her heart responded after only one try

This wasnrsquot the first time that Nancyrsquos heartbeat was out of rhythm though it was the first time she had to have an electric shock to stabilize it ldquoI was in my late 40s when the irregular heartbeat startedrdquo shares Nancy ldquoAt first the episodes were about seven months apartrdquo

Shortly after the episodes started she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF

or also called A-fib) the most common type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rate When AF occurs rapid disorganized electrical signals cause the heartrsquos two upper chambers (atria) to fibrillate or contract very fast and irregularly Blood isnrsquot pumped completely into the heartrsquos two lower chambers and the heartrsquos upper and lower chambers donrsquot work together as they should

Fifteen years after this diagnosis Nancy found herself in the emergency room receiving an electric shock to the heart from an AED The shock was a success and she was able to return home the same day

Nancy was fortunate to have had access to a life-saving AED that day in the emergency room Today she enjoys her daily routines which include spending time with her husband and grandchildren and credits her success to following her doctorrsquos instructions carefully She continues to visit her cardiologist every three months for a check-up and just this past fall received positive remarks during her latest resting echo and blood pressure tests

Alexis White (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) has a similar story to share Her experience takes place in the hospital and beyond ndash and ultimately ends with her living with an

internal defibrillator today

Wersquove all seen it on television ndash a patientrsquos heart rate goes out of rhythm and a doctor administers an electric shock to the chest to restore it to normal In reality this scene isnrsquot exclusive to television dramas It is played out every day in hospitals offices and homes around the world with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Would You Know How to Save a Life By Deana Kaplan Alpha Phi Foundation Donor Communications Manager

More AEDs ASAPColleges are microcosms of

the community at large As such Alpha Phi International believes they

should be prepared to prevent death and disability

from sudden cardiac arrest among students staff and visitors This includes ensuring students are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) It also means ensuring AEDs are strategically placed in chapter houses and on campuses

Only approximately 7 out of our 161 collegiate chapters have an AED on site

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

13ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Chain of SurvivalThe American Heart Association recommends these five links in its adult Chain of Survival in an emergency cardiovascular situation

bull Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system

bull Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions

bull Rapid defibrillation with AED

bull Effective advanced life support

bull Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Would You Know How to Save a Life

12 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

As a freshman in high school Alexis started having frequent fainting spells ldquoThey just kept getting worse and worse I was passing out for up to 10 minutes at a time almost every other dayrdquo she recalls ldquoMy mother took me to a cardiologist and they tried different medications and different tests but nothing was helpingrdquo

When Alexis was 16 her doctors determined her heart problem was electrical and scheduled her for a cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in the heart that triggers abnormal heart rhythm

ldquoWhen I was under anesthesia the doctors said every time they would try to do something my heart would just stoprdquo says Alexis After only two hours of what was supposed to be an eight-hour surgery Alexisrsquos doctors told her mother they couldnrsquot continue with the ablation as the problem was different than what they initially thought

Alexisrsquos doctors determined she would need a pacemaker defibrillator implanted in her chest They didnrsquot think it was safe for her to leave the hospital without the device ldquoI had a portable defibrillator by my side at all times while I was in the hospitalrdquo says Alexis ldquoEven when I was taken in a wheelchair to get x-rays I would have one in my lap I was shocked three times by an AED during that hospital stayrdquo

Two days after the procedure Alexis was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome a potentially life threatening heart rhythm disorder Brugada Syndrome first described in 1992 is characterized by a specific abnormal heartbeat called a Brugada Sign which is detected by an EKG Brugada Syndrome is frequently an inherited condition Alexis is the first in her family to be diagnosed though her doctors determined later through blood tests that her mother has the partial gene and is a carrier

Alexis reflects on what it is like to live with her pacemaker defibrillator today as a sophomore in college ldquoThe device has made an impact on my life both physically and mentally I enjoy running Now I have to do it in moderation alternating from walking to runningrdquo

ldquoThis whole experience has shown me how short life really is and how important it is to cherish the ones you loverdquo she says

ldquoGo to the doctor if you think something is wrong I did and it saved my liferdquo

THE SHOCKING TRUTHWhile both Nancy and Alexis had time to visit their doctorsʹ offices and safely get to the hospital before an AED was needed the reality is most patients need this treatment within minutes of experiencing the symptoms

An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating which causes blood flow to the brain and other vital organs to stop

Once someone goes into SCA for each minute defibrillation is delayed their chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent Four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home and an estimated 95 percent of people who have SCA die from it ndash most within minutes

The average time for first responders to arrive on scene once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes

According to the American Heart Association waiting isnrsquot an option It is imperative for individuals to be trained and prepared to act should the need strike

The organization advocates having a strong Chain of Survival in place to improve a victimrsquos chances of recovery after a cardiac emergency The adult Chain of Survival is a five-link process for rescuers to follow which includes rapid defibrillation by AED (see page 13 sidebar)

AEDs are lightweight battery-operated portable devices that are easy to use They analyze the heartrsquos rhythm and give the user voice prompts to let them know if and when to send a shock to the victimrsquos heart to re-establish an effective rhythm

They are available over the counter without a prescription and are becoming more commonplace The American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada support placing AEDs in targeted public areas such as sports arenas gated communities office complexes doctorsʹ offices and shopping malls

Combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75 percent or more

Executive Office CPR and AED TrainingAlpha Phi Foundation and Fraternity staff members participated in the American Heart Associationrsquos Heartsaverreg CPR AED Course at the Executive Office (EO) in October

The two hour video-based instructor-led course included hands on training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Each staff member in attendance received a two-year certification at the coursersquos completion Throughout the class individuals were prompted to respond to various cardiac emergency situations and they were provided the tools and instructions to essentially save a life

This training came weeks after the EO received an AED as a gift from a local donor The AED is now properly mounted and accessible ndash with the majority of the staff empowered to act if need be According to Foundation Executive Director Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) ldquoThis gift is particularly fitting given our commitment to heart health Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to absolutely anyone at any time Itrsquos important that public places ndash such as the Executive Office with its high volumes of volunteers staff and visitors - are protected and preparedrdquo

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Chain of SurvivalThe American Heart Association recommends these five links in its adult Chain of Survival in an emergency cardiovascular situation

bull Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system

bull Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions

bull Rapid defibrillation with AED

bull Effective advanced life support

bull Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

A CHANCE THESE SISTERS WONrsquoT TAKEApproximately 70 percent of Americans will feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either donrsquot know how or their training has lapsed significantly Two Alpha Phis share their stories and why they are in the 30 percent who are not only trained but also prepared to help if faced with a cardiac emergency ndash no matter where it may happen

Diane Gray Walters (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) lost her father to SCA in 1987 when she was only 28 years old She believes ldquoDad would have likely been saved if his cardiac emergency

had happened a few years later when AEDs became more commonplacerdquo

With her fatherrsquos tragedy as motivation Diane says ldquoI immediately began searching for ways I could be equipped to try to save the life of someone like my dadrdquo

Within a year after her father passed away she became certified for CPR for infants children and adults and has maintained that certification since

In 1999 she went on to become one of the first people outside of the medical profession in Raleigh NC to be trained in CPR with AED certification At the time she was working part-time at her church and says ldquoThe Red Cross announced they would begin including AED training in their regular CPR course With our church being large they immediately purchased three AED machines to place at strategic points in the church facility I was in the first group of 10 members to be trained in using the AEDrdquo

Diane hasnrsquot had to use her training yet though she has come close ldquoThis past year two of my girlfriends both under the age of 50 had cardiac issues that necessitated the use of AEDsrdquo shares Diane ldquoNeither of them had a history of heart problemsrdquo

One friend felt extremely fatigued one day as she started her work day and left early to go home and rest Before arriving home she passed out while driving and totaled her car Her injuries from the wreck

were minimal but the first responders found her unconscious upon arrival She was resuscitated three times by an AED on the way to the hospital Within days she was diagnosed with AF and was given a pacemaker without a defibrillator Within two months she almost passed out at work The AED in her office was readied as the ambulance was on the way though it ended up not being needed She ultimately had the original pacemaker removed and replaced by a pacemaker with a defibrillator Today she is doing well

Diane was in the office when her friend had her second episode at work ldquoI positioned myself to help with the AED if needed and was happy that my brain was calmer and clearer than I normally am in stressful situationsrdquo she says ldquoI believe that having gone through 11 CPR and AED certification processes prior to that gave me the confidence in my training Each time it becomes more lsquosecond naturersquo I donrsquot intend to ever let my certification lapserdquo

Susan Bevan (Sigma-Washington) has a defibrillator in her home She and her husband host many events in their home for nonprofit organizations ndash up to 10 every year

Susan hadnrsquot thought much about AEDs until one evening when they attended an event at another private home

The evening was a small fundraising opportunity featuring a gifted violinist who was a personal friend of theirs ldquoWe had hosted the exact same performer a couple of years before for the same purposerdquo says Susan

ldquoOn a clear spring evening our beautiful dear friend Helen Armstrong was playing an exquisite piece of music when she suddenly clutched her cherished violin and melted to the floor in the throes of a massive heart attackrdquo she recalls

Tragically Helen died as the audience watched doctors in attendance at the event perform CPR during the long wait for the ambulance to arrive ldquoWe might never know if Helen could have been saved if an AED

had been present but I never want to take that chance againrdquo says Susan

Within months after this tragic evening Susan and her husband purchased an AED for their home Their entire family has since been trained in CPR and the use of the AED so they will be prepared for any emergency

Susan has also become very supportive of the placement of AEDs throughout her town in connection with the local American Red Cross

ALPHA PHIS ARE EMPOWERED TO SAVE LIVESEach of these women has been affected by heart disease and an AED in a very specific time and place Whether in the hospital an office or their home ndash today they are each doing their part to educate their families and friends and to be prepared to act if faced with a cardiac emergency These four women represent the thousands of Alpha Phis around the world who are empowered to make an impact in the fight against heart disease in women

Chain of SurvivalThe American Heart Association recommends these five links in its adult Chain of Survival in an emergency cardiovascular situation

bull Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system

bull Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions

bull Rapid defibrillation with AED

bull Effective advanced life support

bull Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

Members from other Greek organizations lined West Lakeshore Drive in Baton Rouge from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house to the University Press Building to cheer on our new members as they ldquoran down the rowrdquo ndash a Bid Day tradition at the university Sisters were fortunate to be joined by LSUrsquos Vice Chancellor Kurt Keppler and Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students KC White It was an honor that they were able to spend time with us to wish the colony luck in the future

Next fall Alpha Phis will reside on their own separate floor of on-campus housing In the fall of 2015 the chapter will move into their temporary home at the renovated LSU Press Building on sorority row Once the new house is completed Alpha Phi will move into their permanent residence to be located on sorority row

A huge thank you goes to the members of Team Tigers and all of the volunteers who helped during colonization The local Alpha Phi alumnae are an amazing support system for the colony

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Reflections After 50 YearsA 50-year reunion of UCLA (Beta Delta) sisters at a mountain home in Idyllwild Calif provided the opportunity to reflect on the value of a college education in the 1960s and the benefits of being an Alpha Phi during that time According to Sharen Metz-Langdon ldquoAlpha Phi was the most meaningful experience of our young adulthood It not only shaped our lives but also the generations of our children to comerdquoABOVE PHOTO (From left) Nancy Stoll Elliott Karen Metz-Suderman Sharen Metz-Langdon and Betsy Haskell Martin celebrate 50 years of sisterhood Not pictured were Sandra Long Constable and Joan Maki Green

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Reflections After 50 YearsA 50-year reunion of UCLA (Beta Delta) sisters at a mountain home in Idyllwild Calif provided the opportunity to reflect on the value of a college education in the 1960s and the benefits of being an Alpha Phi during that time According to Sharen Metz-Langdon ldquoAlpha Phi was the most meaningful experience of our young adulthood It not only shaped our lives but also the generations of our children to comerdquoABOVE PHOTO (From left) Nancy Stoll Elliott Karen Metz-Suderman Sharen Metz-Langdon and Betsy Haskell Martin celebrate 50 years of sisterhood Not pictured were Sandra Long Constable and Joan Maki Green

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Housing Highlights

As Alpha Phi has continued to expand our housing and facilities have also seen growth Since August 2013 we have secured new housing for the chapter women at Utah (Beta Sigma) and Carnegie Mellon (Iota Sigma) and a new meeting space for collegians at Harvard (Iota Tau) Each of these new facilities is unique in size and structure based on the needs of the individual chapters

In 2011 Alpha Phi recolonized its Beta Sigma chapter at the University of Utah After a challenging renovation ndash including dealing with a sinkhole ndash collegians moved into their 16-bed home on The Row near other Greek groups in September 2013 In addition to being completely remodeled the space was expanded slightly to add a restroom and bedroom

that meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements This new chapter house is owned by Alpha Phi Internationalrsquos National Housing Corporation and managed by a house corporation board made up of local volunteers and Beta Sigma alumnae

The women at Carnegie Mellon (CMU) are now living in a 32-bed university-owned facility that saw a complete remodel of its basement to add a chapter room television lounge and storage Alpha Phi submitted an application to CMU and competed with other Greek groups for the opportunity to acquire this space The house is well-positioned on campus nestled among the universityrsquos other Greek facilities This new visible presence is helping integrate the chapter into the CMU community

Since Harvard University does not

recognize Greek letter organizations the chapter there is a member of the Cambridge Area Panhellenic Alpha Phi joined Delta Gamma Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in this organization and is now settled into a leased meeting space in a prime location on Harvard Square This gives chapter women a convenient site to gather close to campus The leased space includes a large chapter room a television lounge and a kitchenette

These are just the most recent housing and facility acquisitions for Alpha Phi Look in future issues of the Quarterly and online at alphaphiorg to follow our progress

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Members from other Greek organizations lined West Lakeshore Drive in Baton Rouge from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house to the University Press Building to cheer on our new members as they ldquoran down the rowrdquo ndash a Bid Day tradition at the university Sisters were fortunate to be joined by LSUrsquos Vice Chancellor Kurt Keppler and Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students KC White It was an honor that they were able to spend time with us to wish the colony luck in the future

Next fall Alpha Phis will reside on their own separate floor of on-campus housing In the fall of 2015 the chapter will move into their temporary home at the renovated LSU Press Building on sorority row Once the new house is completed Alpha Phi will move into their permanent residence to be located on sorority row

A huge thank you goes to the members of Team Tigers and all of the volunteers who helped during colonization The local Alpha Phi alumnae are an amazing support system for the colony

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Members from other Greek organizations lined West Lakeshore Drive in Baton Rouge from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house to the University Press Building to cheer on our new members as they ldquoran down the rowrdquo ndash a Bid Day tradition at the university Sisters were fortunate to be joined by LSUrsquos Vice Chancellor Kurt Keppler and Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students KC White It was an honor that they were able to spend time with us to wish the colony luck in the future

Next fall Alpha Phis will reside on their own separate floor of on-campus housing In the fall of 2015 the chapter will move into their temporary home at the renovated LSU Press Building on sorority row Once the new house is completed Alpha Phi will move into their permanent residence to be located on sorority row

A huge thank you goes to the members of Team Tigers and all of the volunteers who helped during colonization The local Alpha Phi alumnae are an amazing support system for the colony

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Current Alpha Phi Foundation Endowment

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

35ALPHA PHI QUARTERLYWINTER 2014

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

32 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

FoundationFoundation Message from the Foundation Chair

Dear Sisters Parents and Friends

With your ongoing support every year at Alpha Phi Foundation proves to be filled with remarkable progress and 2013 was no exception It was a year of meaningful experiences and tremendous growth that allowed us to write another chapter in the success story of the organization

This yearrsquos performance in a nutshell During fiscal year 2013 the Alpha Phi Foundation endowment not only reached but far exceeded a milestone $10 million The endowment value at the end of the fiscal year was $111 million Program support grew from $119 million in fiscal year 2012 to $155 million in fiscal year 2013 an increase of 30 percent year over year

And we put those program dollars to work A fourth session of the Emerging Leaders Institute was added to this summer program training nearly 200 up-and-coming underclassmen in key leadership skills Our funding of leadership training and educational programs led by Alpha Phi International Fraternity surpassed $500000 ndash a 39 percent increase over the prior year and a milestone in our support of fraternal programming We announced and awarded a newly endowed scholarship in honor of an extraordinary member Linda Gardner Massie (Delta Alpha-East Carolina) who served as both International President and Foundation Chair Lindarsquos scholarship benefits undergraduate women at our East Carolina (Delta Alpha) and Virginia Tech (Eta Omicron) chapters

By December our staff was at full capacity and welcomed two new positions ndash donor communications manager and executive administrative assistant ndash to help further our mission and better deliver on our new strategic plan In February we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Heart to Heart Grant with the presentation of two $50000 awards ndash one to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee Fla and the other to Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas

Through our Red Dress program our collegiate chapters set yet another record in their philanthropy efforts by raising an unprecedented $17 million for the Foundation We expanded our accessibility to donors and friends with the launch of a new mobile website Alpha Phi Foundation is one of only two National Panhellenic Conference Foundations to offer such a tool to its supporters At the end of the

fiscal year we not only met but exceeded a $30000 challenge gift from Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan) to fund the first of a three-volume history book project designed to celebrate Alpha Phirsquos rich history through our 150th anniversary in 2022 Authored by Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) the first volume was officially launched around Foundersrsquo Day in October 2013

We also witnessed a number of events that shook the lives of our members from Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes to the Boston Marathon bombings and Colorado fires Because of the generosity of our donors we were able to help those Alpha Phi members impacted by these life-altering situations through our Forget Me Not Fund

The next chapter for Alpha Phi Foundation is even more promising than the last In February 2014 we will train every collegiate member across North America in Hands-Onlytrade CPR through a new partnership with the American Heart Association completely funded by the Foundation Additionally the new year will include a new leadership program designed for upperclassmen and their transition to careers the launch of Clararsquos Circle ndash a new individual giving program for collegiate members an enhanced planned giving program a fundraising initiative to add a defibrillator to every Alpha Phi chapter facility a 50 percent increase in the value of our Heart to Heart Grant and the 10th anniversary celebration of our Red Dress fundraising program

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous contributions of our donors the leadership of our board of directors the dedication of our staff and the passion of others who care deeply about Alpha Phi International We extend our profound gratitude to every one of you for all you continue to do and give to ensure a bright future for our beloved Fraternity Alpha Phi believes in you Thank you for believing in Alpha Phi

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

34 ALPHA PHI QUARTERLY WINTER 2014

Every five years the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care These guidelines reflect a thorough review of current science by international experts The 2010 guidelines reported that in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest adults who received Hands-Onlytrade CPR from a bystander were more likely to survive than those who didnrsquot receive any type of CPR In other studies survival rates of adults with cardiac arrest treated by people who werenrsquot healthcare professionals were similar with either Hands-Onlytrade CPR or conventional CPR

Fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from someone nearby Among bystanders interviewed reports said panic was the major obstacle to performing CPR According to the AHA the simpler Hands-Onlytrade technique would help overcome that panic and hesitation to act

Alpha Phi Foundation is partnering with the American Heart Association to do its part to build confidence among more community members by training all Alpha Phi collegiate members across North America this February in this life-saving skill Thatrsquos nearly 20000 young women

ldquoThe more people trained in CPR the more lifesavers we have in our communities who can act as first responders when citizens go into cardiac arrestrdquo said Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta Delta-Iowa State) executive director of Alpha Phi Foundation ldquoFor 57 years Alpha Phi Foundation has been committed to improving womenrsquos heart health Take Heart Take Part is a unique opportunity to further our impact and save more livesrdquo

The Foundation is proudly funding 100 percent of this program including CPR kits marketing materials facilitator guides and a special gift for every participant Local Alpha Phi alumnae will be trained to facilitate via webinars to lead the sessions Every Alpha Phi chapter across North

America will hold a CPR training session during the month of February

This program was piloted with great success in November 2013 at UCLA (Beta Delta) UCIrvine (Eta Kappa) Loyola Marymount (Zeta Beta) and USC (Beta Pi) collegiate chapters

WHY HANDS-ONLYtrade CPR Because 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital By performing CPR someonersquos chance of survival can double ndash even triple If no CPR is given brain death occurs within four to six minutes

When an adult suddenly collapses with cardiac arrest their lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes Consider when you hold your breath while floating in a pool Most people can hold their breath for quite a while as long as they are not moving Another reason breaths may not be needed during the first minutes after collapse is a person in cardiac arrest needs less oxygen than a person who is not in cardiac arrest

For these reasons the most important thing a bystander can do for a person in sudden cardiac arrest is to pump blood to the brain and to the heart muscle delivering the oxygen that still remains in the lungs and blood

WHY THE AHA The American Heart Assocation has provided CPR training for more than 50 years The organization currently trains more than 14 million individuals in CPR each year 95-97 percent of whom are medical professionals AHA is now calling on all citizens to learn how to perform Hands-Onlytrade CPR and Alpha Phi Foundation is excited to play an important role in this movement

Hands-Onlytrade CPR

is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths It consists of two easy steps

1 Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do so)

2 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many

Foundersrsquo Day 2013 was extra special Alpha Phi Foundation unveiled the first of a three-volume series documenting Alpha Phirsquos rich history Volume one is titled Alpha Phi International Fraternity The First Fifty Years (1872-1922) Union Hand in Hand

Author Jenny Thompson (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate) beautifully describes the Foundersrsquo and other early membersrsquo hard work commitment to education and desire to connect with and support other women She introduces readers to stories that are both familiar and new and describes in detail the affairs of the time that impacted our members hellip like resistance to coeducation and earning the right to vote

This March as we celebrate Womenrsquos History Month we can be proud our Founders were among the first women admitted to Syracuse University And while their circumstances were lonely and uncertain at times they were brave and mature beyond their years and determined to make a place for themselves and for other women in the world

If Martha Foote Crow Clara Bradley

Burdette and the others could bear witness to our achievements generations later we like to think they would be proud of the women who followed in their footsteps and pleased with the progress Alpha Phi has made They would be joyful we live in a society today where women are encouraged to learn contribute and lead They would be honored their vision has not only been realized but is thriving every day in chapters on campuses and in communities across North America

We are grateful to Jenny who spent tireless hours researching writing editing gathering photos and guiding the production of this book Jenny has a PhD in American studies from the University of Maryland Her expertise writing style and genuine interest in womenrsquos history made the stories of Alpha Phirsquos first 50 years come to life like a modern novel

Jennyrsquos work was supported by the women who serve on the Foundation heritage committee Their collective and vast knowledge of the Fraternity from years of volunteering and service in many
