We’ve all heard the age-old phrase, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”We recognize it as testament to the value of networking, and the importance ofdepending on others to succeed. After all, one person, alone, cannot accomplishwhat several strong minds can, and interacting with each other and exchangingideas spawns some of the greatest ideas of all.

The “who you know” in my life has always been my Alpha Phi sisters, and thestrong network of extraordinary, wise women has proven to be a priceless boon.My Alpha Phi alumnae networks have supported and led me through life’s manyjourneys – and I’ve had many.

For example, my husband and I relocated our residence no less than eight timessince we married. That meant uprooting and resettling in communities fromChicago (four separate times) to Washington, D.C., to Buffalo to Omaha … andfinally Naples, Fla., which offered me plenty of opportunity to call upon my sisters

throughout the country.No matter where we landed, my Alpha Phi alumnae

connection was just a telephone call away. Arriving in a newcommunity not knowing a soul is difficult, but my Alpha Phisisters always were there to welcome me and acquaint me tomy new surroundings. It truly was like having family in eachunfamiliar town.

It was through these connections that I eventually locatedbabysitters, hair salons, restaurants, churches, health clubs andcommunity outreach opportunities. Each of these important,everyday life elements – those you just can’t find in the yellow

pages – came personally recommended by an Alpha Phi. Who could ask for abetter seal of approval?

As International President I took my networking experience to another level atthe National Panhellenic Conference biennial session in October (see related NPCfeature, page 2). During the NPC presidents’ meetings, leaders from the 26Panhellenic groups shared ideas and thoughts. It was a real treat to explore currentissues with other sorority presidents who share similar visions and seek solutions tocommon obstacles. Networking helped us compare current situations and map outour future plans so we all will advance. We also have developed some very nicefriendships.

You will read more about the value of networking throughout this issue of theAlpha Phi Quarterly. The networking advantage that Alpha Phi offers is one I urgeothers to tap into. It is a benefit that each of us can utilize anytime throughout ourlives and one that opens new doors to achieving new successes. Pick up the tele-phone and make that call. You never know where your next Alpha Phi contactmight lead you.

GET READY FOR AN ADVENTUREGET CONNECTED WITH YOUR SISTERS

THE OLYMPIC NETWORK

Alpha Phis came out infull force to celebrate pastInternational Presidentand past FoundationChair Sally McCallGrant’s (-DePauw)installation as 2001-03National PanhellenicConference (NPC)chairman during theConference’s Oct. 5-7biennial session in

Tucson, Ariz. The weekend kicked off a year-longNPC centennial celebration that culminates at theOctober 2002 interim session in the Chicago area,the birthplace of the Conference.

More than 60 area collegians and alumnae, pastand current Alpha Phi International volunteers andExecutive Office staff members met at the WestinLa Paloma Resort for the momentous occasion.Prior to the event, Alpha Phi InternationalFraternity and Alpha Phi Foundation contributed$100,000 to NPC Foundation’s CentennialEndowment in honor of Sally’s installation.

Her service to the Greek community is wellrecognized by her Alpha Phi sisters, NPC’s 26member groups and alumnae and collegiatePanhellenics across North America.

“The most important lesson I’ve learned fromSally in the past 15 years is that it is critical forboth Alpha Phi and NPC to remain current withand relevant to our collegiate members,” says NPCThird Alternate Delegate Laura Malley-Schmitt(F-MIT). “One trait I admire about Sally is herkeen ability to communicate with collegiatewomen, which she has demonstrated throughout

many college generations. In Sally, NPC has achairman who truly values the views of all NPCwomen, including our newest members in ourcollegiate chapters.”

First Alternate Delegate Deana KoonsmanGage (I-Texas Tech), who has served with Sallyon the NPC delegation since 1996, says Sally isan excellent example of how Alpha Phi’s image ispositively affected by Panhellenic representatives atevery level. “Sally’s personality, leadership andcompetence have enhanced other member groups’perception of Alpha Phi,” she says. “Sally’s work inthe Conference shows the importance of buildingtrusting and cooperative relationships with otherdelegates. We all have common goals and chal-lenges, and together we can work to build astronger future Greek system.”

NPC, ALPHA PHI’S CREATION, TURNS 100

By Margaret Knights Hultsch (BN-Duke, P-Ohio State, B-Northwestern and O-Missouri)

The installation of Sally Grant as NPC chairman holds specialsignificance for Alpha Phi. This is because Sally’s two-yearterm of office occurs exactly 100 years after Alpha Phi calledthe 1902 meeting that led to the founding of NPC.

At the turn of the 20th century, recruitment was a chaoticaffair. Women were pledged before they ever reached campus.Where freshmen arrived on trains, sorority members might goa few stations down the line, board the train and pledge newmembers on the spot. There were even some cases of womenjoining two sororities.

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

This was the first permanent inter-Greek organization. Thecorresponding men’s organization, now called the NorthAmerican Interfraternity Conference, was not founded until 1909.

Officers of NPC serve in rotation based on the year inwhich their organization joined NPC. Sally Grant is Alpha Phi’sthird chairman. Previous chairmen were Cora Allen McElroy(B-Northwestern), 1911–12, and Margaret CoshunHutchinson (Ψ-South Dakota), 1953–54.

Sally has served on Alpha Phi’s NPC delegationsince 1984, in alternate delegate positions and asAlpha Phi’s president. She served as a member ofthe college Panhellenic and alumnae Panhelleniccommittees and as an area advisor for collegiatecampuses in Northern California and alumnae inSouthern California. Within a year of Sally’s 1996appointment as NPC delegate, Alpha Phi rotatedonto the NPC executive committee. She served twoyears as executive committee treasurer and two assecretary before becoming chairman.

Sally says she looks forward to the next two years:“I will work with the delegate body to continue tostrengthen the partnerships with the NationalAssociation of Student Personnel Administrators(NASPA), North American Interfraternal Conference(NIC), Association of Fraternity Advisors (AFA) andother interfraternal groups. I hope to continue theefforts of my predecessors to support and promoteprograms that will reduce high-risk drinking anddrug use on campuses. The executive and centennialcelebration committees hope to make the comingyear an exciting and comprehensive celebration ofNPC’s centennial.”

Alpha Phi is proud to be part of NPC’s leader-ship during its second century and hopes to join allmember groups to strengthen NPC during the nextbiennium.

P A G E S I X A L P H A P H I Quarterly

Growing up in themountains ofColorado and onskis since age 3,Stacia Hookom(B-Colorado)had dreams of skiracing in theOlympics. With theintroduction ofsnowboarding in1989, she says itwas only natural to turn her racing passion to thenew sport. A member of the U.S. SnowboardNational Team for eight years and one of 10athletes named to the 2002 U.S. Snowboard ATeam, the 26-year-old has her sites set on the 2002Winter Olympics™ in Park City, Utah.

Stacia learned to snowboard in Vail the first yearthe sport was introduced. An alpine ski racer in

high school, she settled on snowboarding full-timeat age 16 and began competing at 17. “It was sofun because the whole mountain changed with theintroduction of snowboarding,” she says. “Suddenlydull runs were fun and challenging. Snowboardsmake the most amazing turns and leave beautifulcurves in the snow. Plus, the speed and adrenaline

the sport produces is addicting. The challenge ofthe course, my desire to go as fast as possible andthe feeling of the turns keep me coming back formore.”

The support of her mother, Cindy BullingerLashley (O-Drake), and Alpha Phi sisters alsokeep her coming back, she says, especially afterseverely injuring her knee three times since she’sbeen on the National Team.

“My mom has been a huge influence in mycareer,” Stacia says. “She has always supported mygoals – offering the perfect balance of encourage-ment without pressure.”

She says her mother also supported her finan-cially, but only in exchange for Stacia’s hard work.“She never just gave me anything. Those ruleshelped me learn a strong work ethic,” Stacia says.“After the last injury, my results started slipping. Itwas a really difficult time. I worked through theinjuries and became strong again, thanks to thepractices my mom instilled in me.”

Last season, Stacia tied her best ever WorldChampionship competition, placing 8th in parallelslalom and 12th in giant slalom. Now, she says sheis back on track to accomplish the goals set beforeher injuries.

Snowboarder Phi Sets Sites on Salt Lake By Christine Spiegel

Stacia Hookom is a 2002 Winter Olympics™ hopeful in snowboarding.

“One day I

realized I

was living

my dream,

hoping to

go to the

Olympics.”

SNOWBOARDING’S U.S. DEBUT IS SALT LAKE 2002®

Snowboarding made its inaugural Olympic appearance inthe 1998 Nagano, Japan, Winter Games and makes itsU.S. Olympic debut this winter in Park City.

Men’s and women’s parallel giant slalom eventsappear on the Olympic program for the first time, replac-ing the giant slalom events that were contested inNagano. A version of alpine snowboarding, parallel giantslalom features head-to-head matchups. After a qualifica-tion round, a 16-person tournament is established andcompetitors battle on two side-by-side courses until thereis a winner.

Other Olympic snowboarding events at Park CityMountain Resort are the men’s and women’s halfpipecompetitions, where snowboarders perform acrobaticaerial tricks in a half-cylinder-shaped course dug deepinto the hill.

While attending the University of Colorado,Stacia says her Alpha Phi sisters also were support-ive. “Each year when I returned from travels, every-one was eager to know how I had done and whatwas next. It is really difficult to maintain a normallifestyle when I am constantly on the road, so doingso when I am at home is really important to me.Alpha Phi provided that aspect for me.”

Stacia says a 3rd place win two seasons ago inBreckenridge was one of her best races, not so muchbecause of the result, but because Summer Morrill-Deaton and Ashley Garrett (both B-Colorado)

were there to cheer her on. “We talked for yearsabout going out on the hill together, but I wasalways so busy. Finally, we were able to spend theday together. It was wonderful,” she says.

Stacia’s snowboarding event is parallel giantslalom. When speaking about her Olympic dreams,she says, “I was blessed with good luck. But I trulybelieve that good fortune is only a result of workinghard and being prepared to take advantage of oppor-tunities. My conditioning coach sent me a quotationabout keeping your eyes wide open because yourdreams may be right before you. This definitelyhappened to me; one day I realized I was living mydream, hoping to go to the Olympics!”

Editor’s Note: Olympic qualifier events were held inDecember and January. The 2002 U.S. OlympicTeam™ will be announced in late January. For resultsand more information about snowboarding as anOlympic event, visit www.saltlake2002.com.

INTERESTED IN SNOWBOARDING?

It only takes three days to learn. Stacia recommends thefirst timer take a lesson. It may be rather pricey, butinstructors will start you in the right direction. She says,"After the first day your tailbone will be sore, but soonyou'll be linking turns down blue runs*." Stacia sayssnowboarding is perfect for either the experienced skierwho wants to try something new or someone who hasnever been on the slopes.

*Editor's Note: Translated, linking turns refers to turningleft and right without stopping in between. Blue runsrefers to the level or ability of the snowboarder. Once youhave mastered linking turns, you are ready to move fromthe green (or beginner) level run to blue (or intermediate).

If you can’t compete, what’s the next best thing?How about a job that introduces you to people fromacross the world and provides a once-in-a-lifetimeexperience?

Several Alpha Phi sisters have beenworking behind the scenes for the2002 Winter Olympics™ in Salt LakeCity, Utah.

Claire Waters Ferguson (BB-Michigan State) is a veteran in theskating world and no stranger to theOlympics. She serves on theInternational Skating Union Council,the first U.S. woman to do so, and isa technical delegate for the Salt LakeOrganizing Committee (SLOC™),ensuring the figure and speed skatingcompetitions run correctly.

Claire began skating at a young ageand became a judge at age 16, working up to thenational, then Olympic level during the 1988Winter Olympics™ in Calgary, Canada.

“I work with Claire quite a bit, and we weredelighted when we discovered we were sisters!” saysKatie Clifford (-Southern Utah), sport coordina-tor for figure skating and short track speed skatingfor the SLOC™. Katie is responsible for activitieswithin the Salt Lake Ice Center, the venue housingfigure skating and short track speed skating.

The Salt Lake native says, “My Alpha Phi experi-ence gave me such an advantage. It is interesting tosee how many women who work here are affiliatedwith a Greek organization.”

The Ice Center binds Katie to another sister fromher chapter. Jamie Shaw (-Southern Utah) ishuman resources manager at the facility andmanages volunteers.

“It is so nice to have a friend to share this experi-ence with,” Jamie says. “I know the relationshipwe built through Alpha Phi has made our workconnection much stronger.”

She adds, “Working for the Olympics in myhome state has been a dream come true. It is incredibleto work someplace where you are excited to get upeach day because you know what you do makes adifference.”

Tara Osborne (BF-Idaho) is guest services super-visor at the Utah Olympic Oval, the speed skating

venue. She began as an administrative coordinatorand was promoted to supervise a staff of 50.

After holding an event coordinator internshipwith the U.S. Olympic baseball teamduring summer 2000, Tara’s goal wasto be part of the 2002 WinterOlympic Games™. She moved to SaltLake City following her December2000 graduation.

“Alpha Phi helped me gain thepatience, social, organizational andleadership skills needed for the fast-paced industry of amateur sports,”Tara says.

A native of Chicago, AmityParkhill (M-Miami University) choseSalt Lake to challenge herself to moveaway from the town she was socomfortable in and experience a new

Alpha Phis Work Dream Jobs in Salt LakeT H E O L Y M P I C N E T W O R K

W I N T E R 2 0 0 2 P A G E N I N E

Alpha Phis responded to the Sept. 11 national tragedy with dona-tions of time and money, as well as support for the people andcommunities directly affected.

More than $15,000 was raised for the Alpha Phi September 11Disaster Relief Fund, established by the Fraternity and Foundation.All of the money raised to help victims of the tragedy was given toorganizations in honor of the lives of two people close to Alpha Phi.

One, Alpha Phi alumna Kristy Irvine Ryan (F-Dayton),worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center (see side-bar) and was a victim of the New York City attack. Kristy is thesister of Tracy Irvine Janess, also a Zeta Psi member.

The other, Michael Lee Selves, is the husband of Gayle BruhjellSelves (P-North Dakota). Michael, who retired from the U.S. Army,worked as a civilian in the Pentagon and died in the attack there.

The Alpha Phi gifts were directed to the 911 Relief Fund, whichhelps Pentagon families, and to Secret Smiles, an organization co-founded by Kristy.

Secret Smiles Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated toimproving the quality of life for families in need through anony-mous gifts. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the organization expandedits mission to include families affected by the tragedy.

The 911 Relief Fund specifically aids Washington, D.C., areamembers of the military, civilian Pentagon employees, contractors,EMS workers and families hit by the terrorism.

“What better way to honor the memories of these two peoplethan to direct our gifts to these special organizations doing suchimportant work to help survivors of the attacks,” says NancyOwen Craig (BV-Bucknell), executive director of the Alpha PhiFoundation.

In addition to gifts to the Alpha Phi September 11 DisasterRelief Fund, sisters provided other forms of support as well.

Sister Volunteers at Ground ZeroJodanna LeBlanc Hedderly (B-Kent State) was one of threenurses allowed into the highly restricted center of Ground Zero inthe two and a half weeks following the WTC attacks. She drovefrom Dublin, Ohio, with supplies for rescue efforts and the intent of

volunteering in one of the hospitals. “Something in my heart toldme to go. I just knew I had to be there. A lot of people had thatfeeling, but not the opportunity to make it happen. I have a skill Ineeded to share,” says Jodanna, a registered nurse who owns herown staffing agency. “I had no idea I'd end up at Ground Zero.”

WTC Escape Published in NewspaperSara Anderson (G-Boston) was featured in the Anchorage DailyNews after escaping from the World Trade Center Sept. 11. The23-year-old Anchorage native was on the 61st floor of WTC 2attending a training seminar for her new job as a financial adviserfor Morgan Stanley when American Airlines® Flight 11 struckWTC 1. One of only a few Alaskans at the WTC Sept. 11, Saradescribes her escape and reflects, “Every American flag I see, Irealize it affected everyone. It doesn’t matter that they weren’tthere. [We all] are hurting just as much as New Yorkers.”

Moving OnUnited® flight attendant Michelle Badilla (M-Miami University)was scheduled to fly San Francisco to Washington, D.C., Sept. 11.That flight was obviously canceled. She says returning to workimmediately following the attacks was one of the hardest things shehas ever done. “It helped me begin healing,” says Michelle. “I facedmy fear and helped take others home to their loved ones.”

Because of cutbacks, Michelle was furloughed in November,indefinitely. “It is awful to lose my job, but I feel fortunate to stillhave my life!” she says. “It is a little scary to think I may not beable to pay my bills right now, but I know I will make it work.We Phis always do. My thoughts are with all my sisters.”

The tragic death of 21-year-old ShannonMcNamara (FA-Eastern Illinois), brutally murderedwhile fighting an attacker in her off-campus home inJune, affected one Alpha Phi enough that sheabruptly changed her career path. Former Zeta AlphaChapter President Erin Weed (FA-Eastern Illinois)created Girls Fight Back, a self-defense program thatempowers women to trust their intuition and protectthemselves against violence.

The 24-year-old launched the Girls Fight Backprogram at Eastern Illinois University Sept. 25, 2001.

“I think it’s only appropriate that it start atEastern,” Erin says. “I feel they need it most since itis for someone that community lost.”

The idea for Girls Fight Back came to Erin at abonfire attended by more than 40 Alpha Phis the

night ofShannon’sfuneral. Erinsat with sistersaround the fireas they criedand shared notonly their grief,but their fearsand anxieties.Erin says she

wanted to do whatever she could to keep her sistersfrom feeling scared and helpless.

The program is Erin’s way of coping with theloss of her Alpha Phi sister and an opportunity toremember Shannon. While Girls Fight Back wasstill in its beginning stages, Erin was in a restaurantwhen a song played at Shannon’s funeral beganplaying on the jukebox, Dave Matthew’s Band’s“Angel.” At that moment, Erin says, she knew shewas embarking on something truly special.

“I thought, Shannon is looking down on me,”she says. “She wants us to serve her memory as bestwe can.”

Defense tipsGirls Fight Back incorporates three major lines ofdefense.

Preventative protection stresses the importanceof guarding yourself against an attack by exercisingprecautions such as installing home and personalalarms or even buying a dog.

The second line of defense is trusting yourselfand your intuition.

When all else fails, Girls Fight Back teaches thebasics of physical self-defense. It is an option Erinstresses should only be used when other avenueshave been exhausted.

Watch for Girls Fight Back on your campus Erin’s program did not materialize overnight. As apart-time employee at Miramax’s™ art departmentin New York, Erin says she has the flexibility to taketime off to travel to colleges, beta testing the GirlsFight Back program.

Financially, Erin foots the bill for a majority ofthe costs she has incurred for her own self-defensetraining and travel expenses.Although she receives somecompensation from the universitiesshe visits, she pays most expensesherself. But she wants to make GirlsFight Back her career, and it’s alifestyle change that Erin is gratefulto make. “Sometimes you have tostop building your own roads andsee what has been paved for you,”she says.

Erin plans to take Girls FightBack across the country. For more details or tocontact Erin, visit www.girlsfightback.com.

Senior Jennifer Carrier (E-Minnesota) was featuredin Glamour magazine’s October 2001 issue as oneof this year’s 10 Top College Women.

The international magazine’s annual competitionrecognizes extraordinary women for their leadership,campus and community involvement, academicexcellence and unique goals.

In addition to an initial trip to New York Cityfor the feature’s photo shoot, Jenny enjoyed a returntrip in the fall where the 10 winners met for fourdays of sightseeing, entertainment and meetings.The trip included a banquet and presentation of a$1,000 scholarship to each winner.

The busier, the betterAn aspiring lawyer, politician or judge, with herpacked schedule, it’s surprising Jenny found time tosubmit the application!

In addition to her studies in political science andsociology of law, Jenny works 40 hours a week tosupport herself. She’s a student legal administrativeassistant for Legal Assistance to MinnesotaPrisoners, a law clinic for indigentprisoners, and she’s a comedy clubwaitress.

She feeds the homeless, volunteerswith children at a shelter and reads tochildren at a local Shriners Hospital. She has servedon student senate committees and participated in

Minnesota Student Association andCollege Democrats.

This summer she worked at theHennepin County (Minn.) Attorney’soffice. Last summer, she was a WhiteHouse intern for U.S. Senator TomDaschle in the Office of LegislativeAffairs, took over a CongressionalCorrespondence staff member’s jobwhen he had to take leave for cancertreatment and ran the office whenthe director was in Los Angeles forthe Democratic convention.

All this, and she still managesto hold a 3.86 GPA.

“Alpha Phi is one ofthe main reasons I havebeen able to accomplishso much in college,”says Jenny. “It is incredi-bly motivating to livewith so many diverseand talented women.Additionally, Alpha Phihas added a uniquesocial aspect to my lifethat I do not think I

would have experienced had I not lived in thechapter house. Alpha Phis have taught me that the‘college experience’ of meeting new people andhaving fun is important in and of itself.”

Keep an eye on herThis semester, Jenny is studying abroad at Lorenzo diMedici in Florence, Italy. She graduates this springand plans to attend law school and possibly pursue amaster’s degree in public policy. She wants to become

a public defender and then perhaps ajudge or U.S. congresswoman.

Her advice to Alpha Phi sisters andfellow collegians? “Never be afraid offailure! I knew I had a very small chance

of receiving the White House internship and recogni-tion in Glamour. But if I had not applied, I wouldhave passed up these incredible opportunities! It isimportant for me to never have any regrets. As long asI try my best to achieve the goals I set in life, I willnever wonder what I could have accomplished.”

Glamour has spotlighted top U.S. college womenfor more than 40 years, with names such as homedecorating and entertaining guru Martha Stewartand actress JoBeth Williams among those on theprestigious winner list.

The magazine says these women “could changethe world.” We look forward to witnessing Jennymake her mark.

Editor’s Note: Jenny also is a 2001-02 Alpha Phi Foundationscholarship winner.

Outstanding AdviserCHRISTIANE SENTIANIN (B-UCLA) ADVISER SERVICE: Two years as recruitment adviserand two as chapter adviser to CSU/Northridge (ET).Chapter adviser to UCLA (B) since July.OCCUPATION: Universal Studios Hollywood,employee and community services coordinator.NOTABLE: She replaced herself as CSU/Northridgeadviser prior to taking on the position at UCLA.

Networking Leads to Adviser PositionChristiane Sentianin (B-UCLA) was helping with a USC (B) recruitmentworkshop when Laura Davidson (B-UCLA) asked if anyone was interested inserving as an adviser. “I wanted a change of pace and thought it would be fun, so Ivolunteered,” says Christiane.

That was four years ago.Today, Christiane says she continues to advise because, “It’s challenging and

rewarding at the same time. Last summer, for example, the chapter spent a lot oftime developing a new member program. It was such a payoff to see the excitementon their faces during recruitment when it all came together.”

Team ConceptChristiane’s philosophy of building an advisory “board” versus serving as the “loneadviser” is one factor that makes her an outstanding adviser, says Director ofCollegiate Membership Linda Long Boland (J-CSU/Long Beach).

“One person can’t do it all by herself and be successful, no matter how small thechapter,” says Christiane. “More eyes and ears can identify where enhancements needto be made and take action to make multiple improvements simultaneously.”

An example, she says, is in the amount of time spent with chapter members: “Aschapter adviser, I talk to them most, especially their executive members. But alladvisers have responsibilities; we break up Monday night meetings and divvy uptime during recruitment. It’s critical that all advisers are able to commit their timeand be excited about their roles.”

Christiane adds that every adviser is there to mentor and support the collegians,“The most important part of the job is listening to the women’s needs and helpingthem reach their goals in line with Alpha Phi International guidelines.”

“Advising is a great way to give back,” says Christiane. “It can be a challenge, butit forces you to be creative. It’s great management experience. You have to practicebeing objective and look at the whole picture. The decisions you make are not foryourself but the chapter and overall, for the Fraternity.”

Editor’s Note: Volunteers who serve as advisers to Alpha Phi’s collegiate chapters acrossNorth America are vital to the success of those chapters. A chapter advisory board is ledby a chapter adviser and includes advisers specializing in recruitment, programming andfinance.

Barbara suggests that one of the focuses of the IEB thisbiennium be maximizing its own resources: “As analumnae membership coordinator, I cultivated a strongsupport network of alumnae in the Northeast. In addition,I ensured activities in the region meet more universalgoals established by the Fraternity through the StrategicPlan. I believe my overall understanding would transferwell to service on the IEB.”

Through the board governance model, the IEBcreates the vision and desired outcomes for the future, andstaff – both paid and volunteer – decides upon themethodology and strategies to achieve those outcomes.”

At the Heart of the Matter: EducationBerkeley’s Dr. Stephen Miller is International Professor of the Year

Her father suffered a series of strokes, and she returned home to help her family. Back atschool, with three papers due, chapters upon chapters to read and homework to complete,Ashley Rahn (-UC/Berkeley) was overwhelmed.

And she was nervous. She went to University of California/Berkeley Classics ProfessorStephen Miller’s office. What would he say? Would he care that she was so far behind?Would he even know she was in his class?

“Dr. Miller offered to personally help me catch up, and to my astonishment he calledme by my name. My class has more than 100 students!” Ashley says.

This is one of the many reasons why Ashley nominated Dr. Miller as the Alpha PhiFoundation’s International Professor of the Year, an honor established in 1997 toacknowledge the importance of a teacher’s dedication to students on collegiatecampuses.

Professor Stephen Miller’s teaching philosophy, his ability to sustain interest in theclassroom and his campus involvement led the Alpha Phi Foundation to choose him asthe 2001 International Professor of the Year.

“My personal teaching philosophy is that no substitute exists for one-on-one contactwith the student,” Dr. Miller says. “Fundamental is knowing the name and face of eachstudent. The result is better attendance and attention.”

In her nomination, Ashley writes, “Professor Miller motivates everyone around him toembrace learning. He is so engaging in the classroom that my peers and I never want tomiss his class.”

The classroom is not the only place students see Professor Miller. He regularly attendstheir sporting events.

“I’ve never stated that ‘if I come to your water polo meet you should come to class,’but a clear interest in [students’] activities … results in better classroom performance,” hewrites.

Professor Miller has received numerous fellowships and research grants in his 27 yearsof teaching, allowing him to revolutionize the study of ancient athletics. Every summer, heconducts excavations at the archaeological site of Nemea, Greece, where ancient athleticgames were held.

“He makes me proud to study the classics,” says Ashley. “Professor Miller is an exem-plary teacher who motivates everyone around him to embrace learning. I feel honored tohave him as my teacher.”

The Alpha Phi Foundation is the first Greek group to honor an International Professorof the Year. This year the winner received $2,000 and the professor’s university received$1,000. The Alpha Phi chapter and nominating sponsor each are awarded $250.

Any Alpha Phi chapter can nominate a professor from its campus to be considered forthe award. Each campus winner receives $100.

Individual campus Professor of the Year recipients’ names and applications areforwarded to the Foundation office, where first-round judges choose five finalists. Adistinguished panel then chooses the final award winner. Nomination forms are availablefrom the Foundation and are due April 1, 2002.

Our mission:Alpha Phi Foundation is a financially successfulorganization that operates with the highest ethicalvalues. In the spirit of mutual respect and life-longmembership in Alpha Phi, the Foundation fundsprograms that:

• Provide leadership and educational opportunities.• Encourage and recognize superior scholarship.• Support women’s cardiac health.• Educate women about the value of philanthropy.• Assist members in need.

Our recognition:At THE Foundations Seminar, an annual conferencefor Greek foundation staffs and boards, Alpha PhiFoundation took home four awards of distinction:

• Best use of a foundationgrant for a fraternityproject for our EatingDisorders program.

• Best student develop-ment effort forFoundation Focus –including newslettersmailed to collegiatechapters three times a year and a bi-monthlyelectronic newsletter.

• Best non-direct mail effort for theYoung Alumnae Newsletter.

• Best Donor Education/Relationsfor the 2000 Annual Report ofDonors, Heartfelt Letters.

Our heart:Introducing Alpha Phi Foundation - Heart to Heart,a new tagline that ties together our important ritualsymbol with the Foundation's work, particularly incardiac health.

Since 1946, cardiac care has been the official"heart" of Alpha Phi. Today, the Foundation educatesour members and the public about our philanthropicfocus: cardiac disease, the No. 1 killer ofwomen in North America.

But the tagline meaning goes beyondthat. The Original Ten found importance inthe words "heart to heart" to indicate our sister-hood. Through Foundation scholarships, aid towomen in crisis, leadership development and educa-tional programs, we champion the advancement ofwomen.

You'll see the Heart to Heart tagline throughoutour program literature, a reminder of the Alpha PhiFoundation's work - hand to hand and heart to heart.

OUR HEARTS GO OUT: THEN AND NOW

Alpha Phi has a history of helping others, especially during times of war and tragedy. Today, individualsand chapters make heartfelt donations to the Alpha Phi September 11 Disaster Relief Fund (see page 9).

During World War II, Alpha Phi sold war relief stamps from 1941-44 to raise funds for bombed-outareas of Britain.

International Executive Board Member Valerie Lawlor (O-Missouri) found some of these rarestamps and donated them to the Foundation.

Designed by American illustrator Edwin A. Georgi, thestamps combine the United States and Canadian flags toemphasize the international nature of the Fraternity, saysMargaret Knights Hultsch (B-Northwestern, BN-Duke, P-Ohio State and O-Missouri), Alpha Phi International historian.

Within just a few months, $3,523 was raised through warrelief stamp sales, and four surgical kits were purchased foruse among civilian victims of air raids. Later sales paid forthe production of wool blankets.

The stamps are displayed in the Executive OfficeHeritage Hall.

• TIMELESS TRADITION captures the classic, legendaryaspect of Alpha Phi as an organization established 130 years ago.

• CONTEMPORARY VISION portrays the forward think-ing, proactivity and expertise of the organization and itsmembers. To have contemporary vision means to understandtoday’s women and what it takes for them to be successful.

• Together, the two thoughts harmonize while they contrast. Thetagline communicates “having the best of both worlds” andbeing well balanced. Becoming well balanced means lookingback to the strength of the organization’s foundation and idealswhile looking forward to lead and excel by today’s standards.

• ALWAYS ALPHA PHI completes the thought withexternal confidence and communicates the longevity ofmembership. The organization, and all it has to offer, is alwaysavailable for members.

• The circle of ivy illustrates the never-ending aspect of theorganization. Ivy, one of Alpha Phi’s traditional symbols, repre-sents strength through its vine. It represents what is classic, whileconveying continuous and ongoing growth, well into the future.

ALPHA PHI EXECUTIVE OFFICE GETS FACE LIFT

“Impressively tasteful,” “A perfect blend ofcolor and class,” “Awesome!” are just somecomments Alpha Phi staff members hear fromvisitors touring the redecorated and remod-eled Executive Office (EO) in Evanston, Ill.

The EO's updated look – unveiled last fall– completes an ongoing project initiatedmonths earlier. Headquarters' fresh neutraldécor boasts warm colors that complementthe newly configured space now housingworkstations, offices and conference rooms.

Sleek hardwood floors revamp the livingand dining areas, and new carpeting (featur-ing, as one sister describes it, “a sea of AlphaPhi green with accents of forget-me-notblue”) flows throughout.

“Our aim was to create a comfortable,professional office atmosphere while preserv-ing the history and elegance of past sisters'efforts,” explains Fraternity Executive DirectorPamela Wilcox. “When you enter the frontdoors, you notice a fresh, polished new look.If you haven't been to the EO in a while,you're in for a treat.”

Other features of the remodeling include:• Conference table and chairs placed in

Heritage Hall, formerly used only to displayAlpha Phi memorabilia, to make better useof the space.

• Offices and conference room designed inreconfigured boardroom space.

• Furniture reupholstered in volunteerlounge; other cosmetic improvementsmade.

• New tile laid in kitchen and lavatories, andnew microwave and dishwasher put inkitchen.

• New microwave and refrigerator installedin second floor kitchenette.

• Paint and wallpaper redone throughout.

Alpha Phi Introduces New Tagline and Logo

The EO livingroom has a newlook.

In an effort to convey a consistent look and message for all AlphaPhi communications and create a universal identity with whichAlpha Phi will regularly be associated, Alpha Phi Fraternityembarked on an image campaign.

We are proud to introduce the Fraternity’s new logo andtagline which illustrate in a “snapshot” Alpha Phi’s positive valuesand messages. The first step in the overall image campaign processis introducing the logo and applying it to all materials circulatedfrom the Executive Office in the coming months.

The new logo and tagline will be incorporated into all Alpha Phi marketing tools,including tool kits for chapters to utilize for local communication. For more informationon Alpha Phi’s image campaign, contact Director of Marketing & CommunicationsMaureen Lyons at mlyons@alphaphi.org.
