NPC Badge Day March 1, 2004
The twenty-six member organizations of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) are celebrating International Badge Day, an annual event during which sorority women everywhere honor their Greek affiliations by wearing their badge or Letters. The theme this year is ' Promoting Excellence, Parmership, and Panhellenic
Spirit." International Badge Day is celebrated on March 1, 2004.
Coalition to Change Campus Alcohol Attitudes
Sigma Kappa Sorority joined with forty two other national and international fraternities and sororities to form the Genesis Group. The Genesis Group is an historic consortium that will work together to implement a Program For Change to modify the culture of highrisk alcohol consumption that has manifested itself on college campuses across America and within campus Greek organizations.
The Program For Change is comprised of three fundamental elements: presidential Leadership, student involvement, and a Long-range plan. Programming elements include a student code of conduct, campus coalition for change, review of the judicial process, attitude change programming, a community coalition, increased social options, leadership education, specific Greek programming, admissions programming, security enhancements, campus health services, and research feedback.
The Genesis Group will begin its work by selecting one or two college campuses as test sites and, over a five
year period, will ac~vel~ participate with umverslt~ administrators in developmg and executing a long-term program to change student alcohol culture. Ir is currently soliciting campus presidents for interest in the Program.
Recent studies show that 44 percent of college students binge drink at Least biweekly and blame drinking by college students for 1,400 deaths, 500,000 injuries, 600,000 assaults and more than 70,000 sexual assaults among students. Research conducted by the Newton, MA-based Outside The Classroom, which involved approximately 15,000 firstyear students at American colleges last fall, found that more than 50% arrived on campus as "abstainers" from alcohol, but by Christmas break of their first semester the percentage dropped to 20%, approximately the level of abstainers among all college students in the Harvard study. Outside The Classroom also found that, over the same period, the percentage of heavy or binge drinkers climbed from 24% to 63%.

Letter Dear Sigma Kappa sisters,
In today's day and age, it is not uncommon for cell phones to ring in movie theatres, libraries, and restaurants; to hear people using foul language in public as well as in private; and to see people wearing white sandals in the dead of winter. Where have our manners gone and what can we do to practice proper etiquette?
Upsilon Chapter, Oregon State University, is educating irs membership every Monday with a formal dinner utilizing proper etiquette. On page rwo, read why the chapter continues the forty-year tradition and learn how members feel it will help them in the future.
On page eight, International Etiquette Consultant Ruth Seavey Kern, Theta, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, partnered with the Sigma Kappa Triangle staff to give our membership an etiquette refresher. Learn eight errors in everyday etiquette, the essentials for every woman's closet, and test your etiquette knowledge.
Our 75-Year and 50-Year members are honored on page 30. Congratulations to the women initiated in 1928 and 1953.
The spring issue of the Sigma Kappa Triangle will feature recruitment dares for our collegiate chapters and an overview of revised National Panhellenic recruitment resolutions. Look for a Special Edition issue in July celebrating the 130rh anniversary of Sigma Kappa Sorority.

When I was growing up, my mother used to tell me and my three sisters, "Now, girls, remember always be a lady, no matter what!"
"Always be a lady." What does this mean? Is it appropriate for women to strive to be ladies in 2004, or is this a goal of a different time, something that is irrelevant in today's world?
First, let us examine what a lady is. A lady knows how to treat people h·om all walks of life. She knows the do's and don'ts of conversation, what subjects are acceptable in mixed company as well as those she can talk about with her girlfriends. She doesn't use foul language, speak too loudly or dominate conversation. She knows what to wear for every occasion. In college, one of my professors taught me that, "A well-dressed woman dresses appropriately for every occasion." A lady wears fashionable outfits that are neither too tight, too short, nor too revealing.
A lady knows how to walk, how to stand, and how to sit properly. She knows how to introduce people gracefully and when it is appropriate to stand when being introduced or remain seated. She knows how to give a proper 'American' handshake. She knows how to dine properly whether she is at a fast food restaurant or at a formal dinner.
When I pledged Sigma Kappa Sorotity at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1961, one of the first members that I was introduced to was the standards chairman. Her guidance and encouragement helped to shape each group of new members into polished, sophisticated Sigma Kappa ladies who would represent our Sorority well on campus, and later in life.
In the year since I left college many changes have taken place in our countly. In the late 1960's, events occurred in America that caused the established rules of behavior, and in some cases even the laws to be questioned and sometimes
American society has gone through a major social revolution.
Many changes from the 1960's and the 1970's were good and necessary. Women were given greater respect, afforded more rights, and offered more career opportunities than ever before. Racial barriers were broken down. With etiquette, however,
Ruth has written two booklets and produced three videos on American etiquette. She also presents seminars for audiences numbering in the hundreds as well as conducting etiquette training for corporate personnel.
changes over the last decades seem to have gone too far.
The strict rules of etiquette, morals, and even dress codes that I had grown up with were tossed aside. An 'anything goes' kind of attitude seems to be prevalent in our country today. Is it appropriate for Sigma Kappas to ignore the current trends toward more casual behavior and strive to be ladies in 2004? Or, should we just capitulate and follow the crowd? Each of us must answer that question for herself.
There are many, many examples of ladies throughout history who in their quiet, elegant ways have done more to improve the lives of their families hiends, and the world around them. The choice is yours. In 2004, I encourage you to choose to be a lady and help bring about a new social revolution, one where gracious living and polite behavior towards others are the norm.

When surveyed, collegians and alumnae submitted their most frustrating faux pas related to etiquette execution in 2004. These civility challenges are followed by savvy suggestions for avoiding animosity and behaving beautifully.

.All of us know how to use a cell phone, but few are using it to our best advantage. It is wise to remember that, while convenient, cell phones afford little privacy. Be discreet with personal, revealing information shared by phone-you never know who is listening. And, unless you want to be labeled thoughtless or rude, always tum off your cell phone when its ring might be distracting or disruptive.
Oe{Mt o~ Oiramrs 2 .In George Washington's Rules of Civility, adults were advised not to use the table cloth to clean their teeth. In 2004, we've come a long way in the rules of etiquette, but there is still room for improvement. When dining, appearance is as important as petformance. Sit up straight. Keep your elbows, purse, keys, and briefcase off of the table. Remember to place your napkin on your lap. Don't begin eating until everyone is seated and served. Don't wave cutlery around. Pass food to the right. Never chew with your mouth open or try to speak with food in your mouth. Eat at a pace comparable to the others at the table so you finish at about the same time.

The most important thing to remember about introductions is to "just do it. " If you don't, people around you end up feeling invisible. Who's first? The person who is being introduced, or "presented" is named last. Social etiquette is based on chivalry, so in a social situation, we defer to people based on sex and age. Business etiquette is based on hierarchy. Gender plays no role. The rule is that persons of lesser authority are introduced to persons of greater authority. "Mr./Ms. CEO, I would like to introduce Mr./Ms. Junior Executive." Providing a brief bit of information gives the two people being introduced some basis to begin conversation.
How you respond to being introduced by others is just as important as how you make an introduction. In America, we expect three things" when we meet people: eye contact, a smile, and a handshake. In a business setting, always stand when being introduced. Socially, it is acceptable for a lady to remain seated.
Ma/ij~t~ M~ Mirt:a.kN 4 . Think of meetings as opportunities, as chances to impress your colleagues, and as a way to meet others. To make the best use of meeting time, consider your responsibilities as a participant. Make sure you have read all of the materials in advance, including the agenda. Prepare your comments before the meeting so you don't ramble or repeat yourself. Arrive on time or a little ear Lateness is an affront to those who have arrived on tim and suggests that you are disorganized. Bring all necessary materials with you-agenda, paper, pen. Keep

t>kcerll/ t>kCDuriuiU t>iAUJ s.Please. Thank you. You're welcome. These are the basics of good manners. Your mother was right. . . they are "magic" words. Using them regularly and sincerely signifies a true lady. Conversely, using four-letter words and other vulgarities demonstrates a poor vocabulary and offends others. As an educated, articulate woman, you should be able to express yourself without using profanity. And R.S.V.P. -the abbreviation for respondez s'il vous plait, it means "please reply."

social and corporate cultures. What you wear about you, and you can damage or even destroy chances of success by dressing inappropriately. It takes only four seconds for somebody to make a preliminary judgment. In business, if there is a dress code, observe both the letter and the spirit of the code. If there is no dress code, study how those in senior management dress, and don't be afraid to ask. In social situations, a bra strap or panty line or thong that shows, as well as too-tight or midriff-baring tops that reveal flab instead of curves are not in good taste. What do your clothes say about you?
Frielt.M!Up- Do'r aJtd t>onJu
Do keep secrets. Do make time for friends - and don't forget the
occasional girls night out. Don't talk behind your friends back. Do be there when a friend needs someone to listen. Do tell friends the truth when asked. Don't laugh at friends, laugh with them. Do talk to your friends more than when ) ou need to -
they are just a phone call away. Do send personal notes - they mean a lot.
There is no such thing as neutral clothing. Everything you put on communicates something, and your image is either working for you or against you.

. R.S.V.P, the abbreviation for respondez s'il vous plait, means "please reply." When an invitation is received, the courtesy of your response is rC<)uired whether or not you plan to attend. If a telephone number is included, it is acceptable to call the hostess. If not a written response is~ected. If you can't attend, let the host know the reason why. If you accept, do your best to honor your commitment. While you are under no obligation to reply to a "Regrets only'' event if you are planning to attend, it's thoughtful to take the time to do so. Not only will the hostess be pleased to hear you're coming, but it will give her a better idea of how IIWlY guests to expect.
