Dear Sisters,

Today we are consistently bombarded with the concept of

makeovers and the possibilities of what a makeover has to

offer. A person can’t turn on the television without seeing a

preview of a new makeover program or an advertisement

about the latest pill or exercise for physical transformation.

Too often the media focuses on external changes that accom-

pany a makeover. However, Alpha Phi International believes a makeover is much

more than a change of hairstyle or a fresh coat of paint. It is an opportunity to

look deep inside and enhance the positive.

As a membership organization founded on the principals of sisterhood, scholar-

ship and service, we are always involved in the makeover process. It is incumbent

on our organization to continually evaluate our role in our members’ lives and to

provide the framework for change. We must find

the delicate balance between remaining true to

our Founders’ values and relevant to today’s

women.

I encourage all of us to take a good look at

our chapters and at ourselves and ask: “What

areas should we make over?” We should always

be searching for ways to improve and never be

satisfied with the status quo. As Alpha Phis, we strive to better ourselves through

constant watchcare. As an organization, we are committed to continual evaluation,

education and improvement.

The true meaning of a makeover can be much more than a new look. It can be

the beginning of a renewed commitment to our values. It can be a promise to

further one’s education. It can be an initiative that changes the culture on a

campus. A makeover can be anything you make it. Consider the difference you can

make if you commit to a makeover!

MAKEOVER AND CHALLENGE

Crista Vasina

Thank you to all Alpha Phis who shared

their "Makeover" stories with the Quarterly. If your

information was not included in this issue, please do

not think we've forgotten you. We may contact you in

the future.

“We must find the delicate

balance between remaining

true to our Founders’

values and relevant to

today’s women.”

Makeovers are critical to organizations – to improvingand strengthening the way they operate. We areexcited about several such makeovers that Alpha Phiis experiencing now and planning for in the future.

New program to benefit alumnaeAlpha Phi’s Alumnae Advantage Program, the newestway to benefit from your alumnae membership inAlpha Phi, was introduced July 1. All alumnae havethe opportunity to join and receive great benefits formembers only. (See page 8 for a detailed description ofthe program.)

Web site redesign plannedThis fall, the Alpha Phi International Web site will beredesigned to better reflect the needs of current andpotential members and friends of Alpha Phi. A portionof the site already is complete – the Alpha PhiFoundation pages at www.alphaphi.org/foundation.

Improvements to QuarterlyIn coming years, the Alpha Phi Quarterly will undergoa redesign of its own. The new subscription policyimplemented with this issue (see back cover) beginsthe process. The savings from this change will lead to ahigher quality magazine that will better serve ourmembers.

Collegiate chapter makeoversSeveral collegiate developments are in the works.

Alpha Phi will return to the University ofOklahoma in fall 2006 with the recolonization ofthe Phi collegiate chapter.

The new Prelude program was rolled out duringRegional Conferences in February. Based on theAlpha Phi Creed, it is designed to educate our newmembers about the values, ideals and expectations ofmembership.

The Fraternity, with the support of the Alpha PhiFoundation, is in the development phase of acomprehensive leadership program that integratesour values, mission and philosophy at each stage ofthe member experience. Watch future Quarterlies orvisit www.alphaphi.org for more information onhow you can be part of this exciting new initiative.

Regional Conferences, Conventions and othertraining sessions for both collegians and alumnae arecontinuously evaluated based on return on invest-

ment to chapters and to the Fraternity and revisedso programs and training remain relevant to thecurrent needs of those attending.

Transforming travel Alpha Phi will join 25 other Greek organizations inOctober for the first interfraternal cruise along theMediterranean. The voyage on Holland America’sms Rotterdam begins in Venice, Italy, on Oct. 13 andtravels along the coastlines of Croatia, Montenegro,Albania, Sicily, Italy and Monte Carlo. For details,visit www.alphaphi.org/marketplace/travel.html.

Grassroots EffortsAlpha Phi International has been working withother fraternities and sororities since 2003 to gainpassage of a Collegiate Housing and InfrastructureAct that would allow fraternity and sorority founda-tions to make tax-deductible financial contributionsfor infrastructure improvements to meeting anddining areas in chapter houses in the same way thetax code currently allows colleges and universities touse tax-deductible contributions to improve univer-sity-owned student housing on campus. This wasthe first year that collegiate leaders were part ofthe team that visited Washington, D.C., to persuadesenators and congressmen, especially those withGreek affiliations, to back the bill. (See page 34 foradditional details about the most recentWashington, D.C., visit.)

Challenge to SistersAs Alpha Phi International experiences thesemakeovers, we challenge you to consider aspects ofyour life that may need a makeover. Would you liketo improve your health, begin a new career, break abad habit, spend more time with your family orbegin donating more of your time or money? Wouldyou like to increase membership in your alumnaechapter? Would you like to improve scholarship inyour collegiate chapter?

Alpha Phi’s makeovers are intended to ensure theorganization continues to reflect the vision of ourFounders while providing for the needs of sisters –today and well into the future. When evaluatingyour needs as a chapter and your needs as an indi-vidual, what can you choose to make over?

Illinois Reforms Scholarship ProgramJust three years ago, Illinois (BA) had one of thelowest chapter GPAs on campus. Today, the chapterGPA is 3.445 – the third highest on campus –thanks both to a new scholarship program and thededication of each member. Sisters nominated eachother for a weekly Smarty Pants Award, presentedto the sister demonstrating the most studiousqualities, high test scores or extra long studysessions. The Go! program, an incentive for thewomen to go to classes, awarded those consistentlyattending class. Brainiac Bucks were awarded forsisters to redeem prizes for good grades on majorpapers and tests. The most recent addition to thescholarship program is new member study parties,where new sisters are invited to gather once a weekat the chapter house to study, do homework andget to know each other. Next year’s goal is a 3.545chapter GPA!

Northwestern Makes Over Typical Spring Break

Five Northwestern (B) collegians participated in theuniversity’s Alternative Student Breaks (ASB)program, which offers students the opportunity tovolunteer in communities throughout the world.Amy Anenberg helped build a community centerand volunteered at a home for the elderly inUruguay. Francesca Jarosz worked with theMorning Star Community Theatre on the YanktonSioux Indian Reservation in Yankton, S.D. LisaSnyder tutored and mentored at the Hearthstone of

Minnesota, a non-profit organization inMinneapolis that provides residential family carefor youth with emotional and/or behavioral distur-bances. Katie Sander volunteered at the WhiteEarth Land Recovery Project on the White EarthNative American reservation in Minnesota. AshleyRoberts was the site co-leader for a plateau restora-tion project in Utah.

UCLA Gives Historic House a Facelift

The historic UCLA (B¢) chapter house, built in1929, will be renovated beginning this summer. Thehouse corporation board (HCB), headed by AmyGrainger June (¡B-UC/Santa Barbara), recruitedarchitect Wendy Hillis (B¢-UCLA) to plan andoversee the renovation.

Additions were constructed in 1940 and 1954.Since 1970, however, there have been no upgradesto the building.

Wendy, who is volunteering her hours on the proj-ect, says, “A master plan was created to outline howthe house could best operate in the next 50 years andhow the HCB could most wisely spend money.”

Making Over Our Collegiate Chapters

The structure of the Beta Delta chapter househas changed only slightly over the years(bottom right view: 1930s; top view: today).But in order to bring the house into the 21stcentury, several internal renovations areplanned, beginning this summer.

S U M M E R 2 0 0 5 P A G E T H R E E

Ashley Roberts, right, poses at the Grand Canyon with a fellow ASBprogram participant.

The plan will be implemented in phases, hopefullyover a period of five summers. The first phase beginsthis summer with the addition of fire sprinklers.

In the 1950s, the courtyard was covered to builda multi-purpose room and more bedrooms, butWendy’s goal is to bring back the courtyard. Otherplanned improvements will include adding airconditioning, upgrading plumbing, improvingsubstandard telephone and electrical wiring, elimi-nating or reducing underutilized spaces, increasingstorage space, redesigning the first and second floorlayout, remodeling bathrooms and landscaping.

The chapter will begin fundraising to help payfor these improvements.

The facility, says Wendy, “is a great classic house,but it needs to be updated in order to take care ofwhat we have.”

Northern Illinois Restructures PhilanthropicEndeavorsNorthern Illinois (E¢) sisters have experienced anextensive philanthropic makeover. In addition torevamping several of the chapter’s own events,members increased participation in other organiza-tions’ philanthropic activities.

Sisters planned ahead and secured an intramuralfootball field for the location of the A Phi-esta Bowl,and hard work by the chapter led to recruiting twiceas many teams as in previous years to compete in theevent.

The chapter expanded the Hug-Slap-KissValentine’s Day event to include the sale of Valentinesto students in residence halls in addition to thetraditional sale only to Greek organizations. TheValentines themselves also were redesigned to be more

creative and fun and included a small bag of candy.This increased the chapter’s visibility on campus anddonations to the Alpha Phi Foundation.

Several members participated in Up ‘til Dawn,a student-run organization dedicated to raisingfunds for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.A team of sisters who participated in the AmericanCancer Society’s® Relay for Life® were one of thetop 10 fundraisers for the event. Members areinvolved in several other fundraising events as well.

Crystal Hoppe and Audrey Kennedy volun-teered 100 hours last summer at Camp BoggyCreek, a camp in Florida dedicated to children withchronic illnesses. Jen Klepel and Nicole Middlestatjoin the pair in their endeavors this summer.

The chapter is excited to continue its commit-ment to the Alpha Phi Foundation, its communityand numerous organizations that benefit the disad-vantaged in the years to come.

HELPING OTHERS REINVENT THEIR CAREERSBeth Schweitzer Hoban (HΛ-George Mason) has a unique position with theU.S. Embassy in Seoul, Korea. She is the local employment, education and activ-ities advisor for family members of those employed with the embassy. She hasfirst-hand knowledge of what they're going through, having moved to Korea in2003 with her husband, a foreign service officer with the embassy.

"Living an expatriate lifestyle is very challenging for spouses who have toreinvent themselves or try to maintain continuity each time they move - whichis every two-three years," says Beth, who serves as career counselor and moti-vator to more than 120 spouses in Seoul. "I've found it extremely rewarding tohelp my clients realize their dreams and develop a plan to achieve them."

Beth also serves as a facilitator for a defense contracting company'sTransition Assistance Program (TAP), a program designed for individuals transi-tioning out of the military to help them prepare for civilian life. Prior to livingin Korea, Beth worked as a corporate recruiter and diversity consultant.

the Alpha Phi

Foundation, its

community

and numerous

organizations

that benefit the

disadvantaged

in the years to

come.”

At the beginning of 2002, the Oklahoma City alum-nae chapter was struggling. A meeting with Alpha PhiInternational representatives during a RegionalConference that year prompted interest and action, andtoday, the chapter deserves recognition for its makeover.

In the past three years, membership has grownsignificantly, and their activity level has improveddramatically. For the past two years, sisters havehosted the Alpha Phi Founders’ Day Purse horseracing philanthropy event at Remington Park inOklahoma City to benefit the Alpha Phi Foundation.Most recently, sisters raised more than $1,000 for theAmerican Heart Association® by participating in itsannual Heart Walk® in Oklahoma City; they toppedlast year’s donation by almost $400. The chapter’slargest annual event is a holiday potluck dinner andornament exchange.

According to Director of Alumnae MembershipCindy Erwin, “They have an active calendar, createand send out wonderful communication pieces tolocal alumnae, complete reports and maintain ahealthy relationship with the Oklahoma (¼) housecorporation board.”

She adds that much of the credit for the chapter’smakeover goes to former Chapter President BeckyMorse (¼-Oklahoma): “She really took charge andchanged this chapter into one that is doing goodthings.”

Becky says both diversity and outreach led to themakeover, “We try to keep our event calendar varied toattract a wide range of alumnae. We reach out to metroarea alumnae with an annual newsletter that featuresthe chapter’s schedule for the year, membership infor-mation and news about local collegiate chapters.”

Members support area collegiate chapters. Cindysays the chapter has been crucial in working with

Alpha Phi International on Phi collegiate chapter’srecolonization. They also hold many of their eventsat the Oklahoma City (¢¢) chapter suite.

According to Becky, “It’s a great facility, plus itgives us a chance to interact with local collegians.”

Newly elected President Beth Anderson Brown(¼-Oklahoma) adds, “We want to do everything wecan to help with the recolonization … The HCB hasdone an amazing job and put in more hours than Ican comprehend making the return of Alpha Phi tothe University of Oklahoma a reality.”

Beth attended Alumnae Chapter College thissummer to continue to develop skills to benefit thealumnae chapter.

Cindy concludes, “Oklahoma City has impressedus with their improvements, and we expect more tocome from them!”

UNWANTED MAKEOVER: BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR SHARES HER STORYBy Kim Neal Harlow (Ω-Texas)

At age 32 with no family history of breast cancer, I was diagnosedwith Inflammatory Breast Cancer on October 1, 2004.

IBC, a form that manifests in the breast skin, is aggressive andspreads very quickly. A tumor may or may not be a symptom.

I noticed skin changes in my left breast for approximately twoweeks. Then one night it was swollen. I felt a lump, so I went tomy OB/GYN the next day.

All the standard cancer tests and scans were scheduled, and Istarted chemotherapy in less than two weeks. My daughter wasa month shy of her second birthday, and I had been trying to getpregnant for a couple of months. Now I was wondering if Iwould make it to my next birthday.

My “makeover” began a few weeks after I started chemo when my hair started falling out. Ihad four rounds of chemo before the holidays and a modified radical mastectomy the first weekof January 2005. In three months I had lost most of the hair on my body and also a breast. I feltlike a freak of nature.

As time goes by, I don’t wear my wig as often, but I wear a baseball cap. I also forget I don’thave one breast because I have a very life-like prosthetic – although it’s much more perky thanmy real breast. My eyebrows and eyelashes are growing back, so I am contemplating a new lookwhen I can wear makeup again. I finished chemotherapy and started radiation in May. The hairon my head is starting to grow back. I am now 33 years old.

Fortunately I have had amazing support from family, friends and even strangers. It will be a whilebefore I start to look like myself again, but when that time comes I just might get a makeover!

I urge all sisters to perform breast self-exams – not just checking for lumps, but for anychanges to the appearance or feel of the breast.

Editor’s Note: Kim is a member of the Far North Dallas and Surrounding Counties (Texas)alumnae chapter.

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

America is in love with extreme makeovers. We’re amazed by therigors of plastic surgery and liposuction. We’re thrilled by thedemolition of cramped, damp homes. Why? Because we believethe deeper the level of change, the more incredible the visible andresulting transformation will be. At Laughing Sage Wellness(LSW), we believe in digging deep and transforming aperson from the inside out.

Ready to Renovate?Most of us rely on outside sources to tell us what is bestfor us: doctors, peers, parents and the media. Ourhealthcare legacy tells us, “Take this pill and don’tworry about what’s happening to you,” or “ There isone right diet for everyone.” It seems like everyone isan authority on your health – except you!

Building a new foundation for health involves trust-ing in yourself, listening to your body and becomingyour own best authority on what your body needs.Unfortunately most of us weren’t raised to interact withour bodies in this way, so how can we start?

• Read up on women’s biology, nutrition, exercise,bodywork and relationships.

• Notice any negative beliefs about your body that holdyou back from pursuing the best possible health care foryourself.

• Write down how you would like to feel about your body andyour health.

• Try a new food or exercise and simply notice the result.• Hire a health professional who will help you think

positively about and become a good authority on your ownbody.

This transformation in your thinking may mean speaking up toa doctor if something doesn’t feel right or taking action on yourown to find a remedy (e.g., conduct your own research or get asecond professional opinion).

Health RenovationAt LSW we educate clients about their bodies and help them makechanges at the fundamental levels of health – the biochemicalmakeup of their hormone systems and their fundamental thoughtsand feelings about being women. In our makeover program we:

• Listen to you – making it clear that you have thepower to heal your body and are responsible foryour healing path.

• Guide you through food experiments to teachyou how to listen for and understand your body’sresponses to food

• Teach you how your body produces hormones,how those hormones regulate menstruation andovulation and how those hormones influencemetabolism and overall health.

• Get you feeling excited, empowered and knowl-edgeable about your body so you feel confident inchoosing foods and activities that make you healthy.

• Teach you to prepare medicinal foods thatstrengthen and balance the health of yourhormone-producing organs.

• Help you reduce cravings and behaviors that keep you fromexperiencing vibrant health.

• Help you identify and reject negative thoughts and feelingsabout being a woman and replace them with beautiful,powerful experiences of having a woman’s body.

• Help you make lifestyle changes to reduce stress, nurtureyourself and receive nurturing from others.

Perfect health is not a nirvana-like destination. A vibrantly healthybody and mind are your vehicles for accomplishing your agenda inthe world. This community of Alpha Phi sisters is already an incredi-ble, energetic force for change. Imagine what we could create in theworld if none of us were held back by health problems, negativebody image, boredom or exhaustion. We deserve healthcare thatsupports us to be as creative, nurturing, dynamic and powerful as wecan. Are you ready to begin your transformation?

When you change your physical appearance, it is called a makeover.When you enhance your presentation in the work world, it isrepackaging. It is all about perception, image building and brand-ing – the cornerstones of marketing. When you market yourselfwell, you know it, and so does your audience.

The first impression for the job hunter or changer is the résumé.It is the vehicle that gets you in the door for an interview. It is yourintroduction and your first impression. When you have packagedyourself well, a résumé makes you feel good about yourself,acknowledges what you have done, communicates your personalityand capability and elevates your image in the reader’s eye.

Having been a judge for the “Best Résumé Contest” sponsoredby the Professional Association of Résumé Writers and CareerCoaches, I screened preeminent résumés from around the globe.World-class résumés “wow” their audiences. The document sellsyou before you walk in the door.

You want a résumé to sing your praises, showcase your accom-plishments and leave a lasting impression. Your résumé is only asgood as the content. But, if it is not easy to read, your contribu-tions will never be seen.

Following are some trade secrets that will help you repackageyourself and get noticed.

Presentation or cosmetic hints•Put your name in a bold 18 point font (it is you we wantthem to remember).

•Make your category titles (e.g., EDUCATION) two pointsizes larger than the body of the résumé.

•Always put more space before categories/jobs to emphasizethe separation of a section (most people put one line of spacebefore and one after a title, which interferes with the flow ofthe document).

•Do not use underlines.•Make sure there is plenty of white space.•Use indentation to help differentiate between category,organization, job title and accomplishments.

Content hints• Don’t hesitate to ask friends, family or a professional to help

you cull your accomplishments. (Most people come to mebecause they cannot be objective and need help pulling outthe information that will make a powerful résumé.)

• List: your accomplishments, contributions, results youbrought about or helped bring about, changes you initiatedand what differences they made (employee evaluations mayhelp identify accomplishments).

• Readers want to see results. (If you did this for ABCcompany, then you can do the same or better for me.) Didyou save time, save money, make money or support thoseactions? Even those who have task-driven or maintenancejobs can talk about “eliminating redundancies, presentingdeliverables on-time, being called on by co-workers to solvecomplex problems, designing a form that cut paperwork by10 minutes.”

• Paint a picture to showcase contribution. Rather than “sold fivemajor accounts,” say “increased company revenue 13 percentby capturing five major accounts from the competition.”

• Start each sentence with a powerful action verb: increased,decreased, spearheaded, instituted, established, directed,managed, supervised, etc.

• Never use “responsible for … ”• Do not use an objective; make better use of the space with a

Profile, Summary or Qualifications section.• Don’t bother with months; use years – less is more on a

résumé.

In today’s world, it is a necessity to have an updated résumé.Studies have consistently shown that the successful professionalalways keeps an updated résumé handy. Opportunity may knocktomorrow when a favorite vendor asks you to work for him. It’sso impressive to say “I’ll e-mail you a copy of my résumé as soonas I get back to my desk.” (Don’t wait until you’ve been down-sized to put together a résumé – your emotions will get in theway of creating a powerful document.)

Whether looking for a new job or a promotion, make yourpackage the one they want to choose first. Let the articulatemessaging paint a picture that leaves a lasting impression andanswers the questions, “why should I hire you?” and “what valuecan you bring to me and/or my organization?”

SISTER SPOTLIGHT: MILWAUKEE ANGELWhile most of us go through the regimen of dailyliving without thinking a great deal about it, thereare others who accomplish great feats and over-come obstacles. Our Milwaukee angel, KathySedlak Ehley (ΓY-Wisconsin/Milwaukee) is one ofthose people.

A wife and mother of two, Kathy began hercareer at a brokerage house and found time forvolunteering. Her volunteer work led her to work infundraising.

As Kathy ascended the career ladder, however,she learned that her daughter had thyroid cancer,

and a year later that Kathy had breast cancer. While this may slow most, Kathy’selegant presence and demeanor never wavered. Kathy is soft-spoken, articulate,has a great sense of humor and is very diligent at her work and at home. Sheunderwent two surgeries and then a mastectomy in October 2000.

Forging ahead, Kathy decided to return to college to enhance her alreadysavvy fundraising skills. She pursued a degree in education, focusing on commu-nity education and urban studies and minoring in marketing. She mentoredyounger college students and found the relationships to be enlightening and fun.

In November 2004, Kathy found out the cancer had returned. The second

mastectomy was scheduled forDecember. The overwhelming newscaused our bright star to dim herlights a bit.

To repay Kathy for being thegiver she usually is, Kathy’s friendsand neighbors placed a holidaytree decorated with angel orna-ments on her porch. Each angelhad a personal note of encour-agement attached. Kathyendured this second life-alteringexperience with courage andconviction.

Kathy is now a board memberand spokesperson for ABCD (AfterBreast Cancer Diagnosis), which provides one-on-one mentoring between thosewho are newly diagnosed and cancer survivors. She continues to be an inspiration.

At work, Kathy is vice president of development for the National MultipleSclerosis Society, doing what she does best – helping others.

Do you have information about a missing

alumna? Visit www.alphaphi.org/

alumnae_info/alumnaeinfo.html to help

us locate “lost” alumnae.

Your involvement in recruiting new members for Alpha Phi andthe Panhellenic community is ongoing. There are multiple, smallsteps you can take in order to make a difference in the experiencea young woman will have during her college years.

The Alpha Phi reference form has gone through some revisionsin order to better assist our chapters in making the best choices.When you take the time to write a reference for a prospective newmember you are allowing Alpha Phi to discover what you alreadyknow about the woman. Sharing her involvements, talents andhonors gives a collegiate chapter the chance to connect womenwith similar experiences or interests. Writing a reference onprospective new members is only part of an alumna’s obligation asan Alpha Phi. If alumnae want to help strengthen the Panhelleniccommunity, they must be willing to speak with parents andprospective new members about the reasons for joining the sororitysystem.

Collegiate and alumnae members of National Panhellenic Conference(NPC) member groups are the best advocates of the benefits of sororitymembership.

The above is from a resolution passed by NPC in October 2003.The purpose of this resolution was to let alumnae and collegiatemembers know how important it is that they promote the Greeksystem. You’ve joined a chapter. You know what benefits there arewhen you are a member of a sorority. Unfortunately, many womenand their parents only know the stereotypes of sorority membership.By discussing your perspective with others who are unfamiliar withthe Panhellenic community, you will persuade more people to realizethat being a sorority woman is the best choice.

The resolution continues:It is essential to inform potential members and their families of the bene-fits of sorority membership during both their college and pre-college years.Silence rules inhibit friendly and natural outreach to unaffiliated

women and NPC advocates strict silence only for the specific hoursbetween the final round of formal recruitment and the presentation ofinvitations to membership. Therefore, all College Panhellenics andAlumnae Panhellenics should promote and encourage personaland informative Panhellenic-spirited contact with potentialmembers at all times, year round. Panhellenic-spirited contactallows you to talk openly about Panhellenic membership in general.Alpha Phi believes all chapters on each campus reflect on the sororitycommunity; this includes all Alpha Phi members and alumnae. It isbeneficial for Alpha Phi to speak up for sororities. With your help inspreading the word about membership, you will positively impact ayoung woman’s choice as well as the Panhellenic community’sstrength.

After recruitment begins . . .An alumna obligation is to understand the right of the collegiatechapter members to select their new members. Each CollegePanhellenic sets the number of invitations that a chapter can extendto its invitational parties. Sometimes that means a prospective newmember with an alumna reference may not be invited back to aninvitational party; this is the case for all organizations, not just AlphaPhi. Why does Panhellenic set the number of invitations? All 26members of the National Panhellenic Conference have agreed that, inorder to keep all chapters strong and to manage the expectations ofthe prospective new members, College Panhellenics must set thenumber of invitations. To this effect, new release figure methodimplementation began during the 2004-05 school year and willcontinue for the next two years. Results of these Panhellenic imple-mentations have been extremely positive for both the chapters and theprospective new members. Alpha Phi supports this initiative to bringfairness and equity to the Panhellenic community. With that said, it isimperative for Alpha Phi chapters to know as much as they can aboutthe prospective members going through recruitment. The benefit ourchapters gain by having your input on the prospective members isinvaluable. Please take the time to fill out the Potential MemberReference Form (found on page 17). You will be assisting Alpha Phiand the Panhellenic community.

Do you know someone who you think should be an Alpha Phi? Did you encourage her to go through recruitment?

Did you tell her you would like to write a reference for her?

Alpha Phi is eager to receive referencesand legacy introduction forms becausethey enable our chapters to makeeducated decisions during recruitment.

Alpha Phi believes you have the ability toencourage women to become part of thePanhellenic system across North America.

The most signifi-cant change was the addition of a King ofHearts competition. Coached by sisters, contest-ants competed in three rounds – Heart Throb,Phi Wear and Cardiac Wear – during which theyanswered questions and performed a cheer,dance or unique routine while dressed accord-ingly. The chapter sold “Bounce” T-shirts, “TakeHeart” bracelets and Red Dress pins to raiseawareness and money for the Foundation. Aportion of the proceeds also benefited theAmerican Heart Association®, which donateditems for raffle. A local radio station covered theApril event.

The women reached their goal of increasingcardiac care awareness and support in theButler and Indianapolis community by raisingmore than $4,000.

Sisters Make Sentimental DiscoveryRummaging through an attic led Northern Colorado (¢¡) collegians to a sentimental discovery: an oldsuitcase of family heirlooms that belonged to a former housemother. The suitcase, discovered in 2004, wasreturned to relatives of Pete and Elsie Kopsa Sena (A¤) in February 2005.

The suitcase had been tucked away in the attic of a carriage house behind the main chapter facilities.Sisters found memorabilia dating back to World War II. Based on its contents, it was determined the suit-case belonged to Elsie, the chapter’s housemother during the 1970s and 1980s.

Contents included a photo of Elsie’s wedding to Pete Sena, love letters exchanged between husband andwife, an old Army uniform, a rosary, cigar holder, Army discharge papers and other miscellaneous items.Sisters sought help from a local television station to locate relatives of Elsie.

After the story aired, Elsie’s daughter, Pete’s stepdaughter, came forward. The memorabilia will be dividedbetween Pete’s nieces and stepdaughter and their children. Plans are in the works to donate Pete’s Armyuniform to a local Denver university.

Alpha Phi International President Crista Cate Vasina (¢¡-Northern Colorado) remembers Elsie well.Elsie was housemother when Crista lived in the Delta Gamma chapter house her freshman year.

“Elsie was not only our housemother but also our friend. Each member who lived in during her time ashousemother share the same sentiments: Elsie was a very kind and giving woman,” says Crista.

Elsie joined Alpha Phi as an alumnae initiate in 1979.According to family members, Pete Sena was a World War II Bataan Death March survivor. He fought

on the Philippine islands and was among the 75,000 American and Filipino servicemen ordered to surren-der to the Japanese on April 9, 1942. Soldiers were taken as prisoners of war, and several thousand diedduring the forced 100-mile march from the village of Mariveles to Camp O’Donnell. Many were executedalong the way.

Pete never had children of his own. He died from multiple sclerosis in 1959. Elsie died in 2003 at theage of 92.

On Jan. 22, 21-year-old Linda Trinh( FO¤-Johns Hopkins) was tragicallymurdered in her apartment acrossfrom campus.

Linda, born Phi Quyen Trinh, was asenior majoring in biomedical engi-neering. She was one of 16 studentsawarded the Vredenburg Scholarshipwhich allowed her to travel to Vietnamto study heart cancer detection andAIDS-related dementia. As a research

lab assistant, Linda was helping to findalternate breast cancer screening options

in order to serve women residing in underprivileged communities.She had mapped out her five-year goals, including being

accepted into Stanford Medical School and obtaining a neurologyresidency at Johns Hopkins. Linda was the immediate past presi-dent of the Zeta Omicron deuteron chapter, a valued member ofthe Johns Hopkins community and will be remembered for hersmile, intelligence, generosity, devotion and beauty.

More than 1,200 members of the Johns Hopkins communityjoined Linda’s family, friends and Alpha Phi sisters at a memorialservice, conducted in both English and Vietnamese.

Linda is survived by her parents, Van Quy Trinh (Ngo) andThi Hoan Trinh, who fled their native country of Vietnam in1982 to seek asylum in the United States, and her brother, MinhQuang Trinh, who spoke at the service and presented a videomontage of Linda’s life. The video was voiced over by words Lindawrote to orphans she met while in Mai Hoa, Vietnam:

Thank you for all the laughs. Thank you for all thesmiles. I had a great time getting to know you. You areall wonderful people. You are hard working. And caring.Please don’t be sad. When I leave, I will miss you a lot.

On behalf of Alpha Phi International, our hearts go out toLinda’s family, friends and the Zeta Omicron deuteron chapter.We honor her memory as a dedicated sister and friend.

Editor’s Note: A scholarship has been established through the AlphaPhi Foundation in Linda's memory. For more information, contactthe Foundation at 847.475.4532.

A grand jury in the state of Maryland indicted an individual forLinda’s death. He was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary.

“The quality of applicants continues to improve and number of applications grows every year,” says Rebbie. “The2005-06 ELCs are a highly qualified group of women; we are thrilled to have them on our team.”

P A G E T H I R T Y A L P H A P H I Quarterly

No one knows that Isecretly: want to be a fashiondesigner and have my ownboutiques someday.Three words that bestdescribe me are: enthusias-tic, creative, determined.My role model is: my fatherbecause he inspires me to bemy best. He taught me from ayoung age that kindness andhard work are the keys tosuccess. He tells me every daythat he is proud of me, but Iwant him to know that I am sovery proud of him!Something I did to makemyself over is: I pushed

myself to run for president ofEpsilon Gamma because I kneweven though the chapter was ina critical state and I would havean incredible challenge aheadof me, I would become astronger person. Little did Iknow how much of a transfor-mation would take place; Igained business-related leader-ship experience and becamemore confident, self-assuredand responsible.One “makeover” I hopeto achieve during mytime as an ELC is: toemerge from this experiencemore worldly, mature and inde-pendent.

Scholarship Awarded in Sister’s Name

National Panhellenic Conference (NPC)Delegate Sally McCall Grant (¡-DePauw)presented the NPC Foundation’s BettyMullins Jones (¡-DePauw) Scholarship, inhonor of an Alpha Phi sister, during theWestern Regional Greek LeadershipConference. The $1,000 scholarship wasawarded to Libby Leffler, president of DeltaDelta Delta sorority at the University ofCalifornia/Berkeley. Libby, a former vicepresident of the UC/Berkeley Panhelleniccouncil, is currently Miss Stanislaus andcompeted in the Miss California pageant inJune (results were not available at print time).

Ulich Presents at SEPC

Mary Rekart Ulich (¢¡-NorthernColorado) enlightened more than 1,300women with her personal tale of philan-thropy at the Southeastern PanhellenicConference’s philanthropy luncheon inApril. Mary shared her experiences growingup, as a collegiate Alpha Phi and as anadult in the Atlanta community. Herwords touched upon the impact of the

non-profit indus-try in Americaand the differ-ences when givingto charity betweenmen (money) andwomen (time).The focal point ofher message was itonly takes oneperson to make adifference, as wellas just one dollar.In her conclusion,she asked eachperson in atten-dance to donateone dollar to the

luncheon’s target cause. These effortsincreased SEPC’s donation to a localmilitary base by one third and garneredMary a standing ovation.

They said it couldn’t be done

A woman would never vote

A woman would never earn a college degree

A woman would never work outside the home

A woman would never hold a seat in congress

A woman would never have the same rights as a man

Will you do it?

REGIONAL CONFERENCE RAFFLE UPDATE

Thank you to all who attended 2005 Regional Conferences.This year’s Limoges box drawing took a different approach. Inhonor of the Foundation’s 50th anniversary in 2006, theFoundation set an aggressive goal of recruiting 50 percent ofAlpha Phis to become Foundation donors by 2006. Thecampaign began by asking all attendees at each conferenceto become an Alpha Phi Foundation donor. The push was ahuge success, with southeast region attendees donating at100 percent. Thank you to all conference participants.Together, you helped raise more than $6,000!

“I would like to make a donationto the Alpha Phi Foundation.”

This is the request theFoundation office recently received –a request not out of the ordinary, butthis time something was different.This time the donor was 5-year-oldAva Smith, a student in JoanneFinamore Godfrey’s (G¢-CSU/Hayward) kindergarten class.

Recently losing her great-grand-father to heart disease, Ava hadbeen aware of his illness. So whenshe saw Joanne wearing her Alpha

Phi “Take Heart” wristband one day she asked what it was.“This is for us to remember people who have sick hearts,

especially women,” Joanne responded. That was all it took. Ava knew she wanted to wear a wristband,

so she donated money she had received as a holiday gift. Not to beoutdone by his younger sister, so did her 8-year-old brother, Zane.

Philanthropy has been a way of life in the Smith house for allof Ava and Zane’s lives. “Each year around Christmas our familydonates toys and clothes to children in need in our community,”says Susan Prior-Smith, Ava and Zane’s mother. “It’s a great way toteach children about the value of philanthropy and instill a familytradition in our home.”

Joanne has been an active Alpha Phi since founding the EtaDelta chapter at CSU/Hayward. She also is president of thePortland alumnae chapter. “This experience was definitely one ofthe most rewarding; it really showed how the Alpha Phi messagetranscends all ages,” says Joanne. “It was a chance for me to teach

a child not only about Alpha Phi, but about a greater cause:women’s heart disease.”

Susan says it was a learning experience for her children, butalso herself: “I think it’s great that so many people are becomingaware of this deadly disease and taking an active role in its educa-tion and prevention.”

When asking Ava why she wanted to donate her money to theAlpha Phi Foundation she responds, “I wanted to help people iftheir hearts are sick like my grandpa.”

If Ava is any indication of what is yet to come in Alpha Phi, weare well on our way to a very bright and philanthropic future!

It is never too late to become a great philanthropist like Ava,Susan and Joanne. Every effort makes a difference. Donate to theAlpha Phi Foundation, share your knowledge of healthy heart tipswith friends and family, exercise regularly, don’t smoke, eat a hearthealthy diet and wear your “Take Heart” wristband and/or RedDress pin.

If you ask Ava what she does to keep her heart healthy, she’llsay, “You should do good things. Irun and jump and do jumpingjacks. I exercise.”

Ava recently participated in herelementary school “Healthy Heart”month last February and received amedal for her efforts. Ava, you receivea gold medal in our books too!

Quarterly Subscription Changes PlannedThe Makeover Begins...We currently spend more than $175,000 annually to publish and mail the Quarterly.This issue of the Quarterly is the first to implement a change in our subscriptionpolicy.

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

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

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

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

in the current or previous fiscal year.

This change in subscription policy is the beginning of a Quarterly makeover –improvements that will better serve current and potential members. We thank sistersfor your support as we begin this new journey. We hope you join us in our excitementabout the magazine’s future!
