Become More Involved: Volunteer!By Holly Duckworth (ΘA-Linfield)

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E I N T E R N A T I O N A L E X E C U T I V E B O A R D

Are you a volunteer? Do you lend your time to a cause that you feel

passionate about: your children’s school, your church, an organization

that makes a difference in your community? According to Webster’s

Dictionary, a volunteer is a person who, of her own free will, offers

herself for service or duty.

Many organizations, such as Alpha Phi, rely on volunteer help

to achieve their mission. From the International Executive Board

and the Alpha Phi Foundation to regional teams, chapter advisers

and alumnae chapter presidents, these volunteers spend hours working with our

members to help them have a high quality sorority experience. In fact, Alpha Phi could

not operate and thrive without these women who give so generously of themselves.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of many organizations. Indeed, without them we would

not have many of the services that enhance our communities. I hope you enjoy this issue

of the Quarterly that highlights our members who volunteer.

Jean Cameron Tindall (M-Miami University)International President

Do you find yourself saying “I’d love to volunteer,but I’m too busy. What’s in it for me?”

In a world where work, family, friends, errands,technology and more pull us in thousands of directions

simultaneously, if you find yourself saying “I can’t,”I challenge you to say “I must.” Every woman

today more than ever needs a support groupof other women to share life’s adventures.Alpha Phi is the perfect place — anorganization of women from all ages,background and interests. Sharing in thecontinuous circle of Alpha Phi is simple,

and there are many ways to participate inevery year of your life. Here is some advice sister to sister:

First, determine what you can give. One houra year to once a month — it all makes a difference.

Second, make it fun! Use your skills, talents andinterests. Do you feel comfortable working withcollegians? Help out during recruitment, participatein a philanthropy event or offer to lead a class ormentor a sister.

Is alumnae life more your pace? Contact your localalumnae chapter or regional alumnae membershipcoordinator. Did you know there are 150 Alpha Phialumnae chapters worldwide? If there’s no officialgroup near you, call a few sisters in your zip code andmeet for coffee. You will be amazed at how quicklyyour instant Alpha Phi bond will connect you.

What’s in it for you? The same values that were inAlpha Phi 128 years ago: loyal friendships, personalgrowth, professional development and fun. If AlphaPhis around the globe want our sisterhood to remainthe premier developer of women, it is time toremember the creed and bind ourselves together toimprove our hearts and mind for the betterment ofourselves and sisters to come.

Won’t you continue your commitment to Alpha Phiwith me?

Holly Duckworth is alumnae membership coordinatorfor the Pacific Northwest region, a volunteer position.

With three young children and a husband, SharonKobus Michael (BS-Indiana) has more thanenough in her life to keep her busy.

But Sharon, who worked in the advertising fieldbefore deciding to become an at-home mom, giveswhat little free time she has to help others.

She’s PTO president, on church boardsand in the local Junior League chapter.Plus she served on Butler’s (EB)advisory board.

Why does she do it?“It’s a sense of giving back,

something Alpha Phi taught all ofus,” she says.

Sharon is among thousands ofAlpha Phis who donate time asvolunteers, committee and board

members at an array of nonprofit organizations.For some, it begins as a community service require-ment during high school or college. For others, away to meet people in a new town or city. Stillothers have turned their volunteer experiences intocareers.

As collegians, Alpha Phis spend time volunteer-ing at campus events or in the university

community.SUNY/Buffalo (E) collegians, for

example, sponsor inner-city teenage girlsfor Take Our Daughters to Work Dayand help at a campus fundraisingmemorial.

Volunteer Experiences Pay OffBy Tracey Rosenthal Drury (ΘE-SUNY/Buffalo)

From the AuthorMy husband and I recently argued about my plans to spend a weekend with sisters at SUNY/Buffalo’s(E) 10th anniversary reunion. I spent hours helping plan the event. I’ve remained active with mycollegiate chapter, serving as an adviser since 1995. Alpha Phi remains an important, time-consumingpart of my life.

My husband’s gripe was not with Alpha Phi. I work full-time, serve on several boards and planningcommittees, participate in various community events and fund-raisers, as well as mentor.

My husband is not a bad guy; in fact he’s been involved with the Boy Scouts for 20 years and helpswith many of my pet charities. But he sees my volunteer activities as taking too much of my alreadylimited time with him and our 16-month-old son.

We agreed when I was pregnant that I would cut back. I tried, but slowly got sucked back in.I explain to my husband the fulfillment I get from my volunteer work. His response: “How muchfulfillment does one person need?”

A friend of mine serves on six boards, and I asked him why. This is the community where he lives,plays and works, he says. If he doesn’t do it, who will? It takes people — people who may have onehour to give, or 40 hours each week.

What do I get out of it? Social connections, business networking opportunities and most importantly,a reminder of how lucky I am to be healthy, employed and financially secure.

A volunteer solicitation form I recently received included a quote from George Bernard Shaw: “Iam of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it ismy privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when Idie, for the harder I work, the more I live.”

Tracey Drury is a business reporter for Business First of Buffalo in New York. She received a

1998 Ursa Major, based in part on her devotion to volunteering and community involvement.

“Being involved in a

sorority prepared us

not only for our

careers, but also to

become very active

volunteers.”

participates in an AIDS Walk to raise funds forresearch and services. UC/Berkeley () visits alocal soup kitchen.

Preparation for lifeAlpha Phi did a lot more than teach Sharon aboutvolunteering. She graduated with a journalismdegree and skills learned from Alpha Phi: valuabletime management, social skills and how to get alongwith 80 women who share your living space.

“The more people [I] get to know, [it seems] somany of those who get things done were in [theGreek system] or very involved in college,” she says.“That folds over into the rest of your life.”

As a collegian, juggling classes and Alpha Phi,Sharon says, “I learned to balance as an adult in mypersonal life, to get along with a lot of differentpeople. I’m able to talk in front of a group and getthings done.”

A career of giving backJill Muchow Rode (B-UC/Santa Barbara) recentlycompleted a term as volunteer president of the JuniorLeague of Santa Barbara, capping a nine-year involve-ment with the organization. Professionally, Jill is theSanta Barbara Symphony’s development director.

She never planned to work in the nonprofitfield, however. Jill majored in bio-psychology withplans to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Herinvolvement with Alpha Phi changed all that.

She was philanthropy chairman, a position thatworked closely with the American Heart Association’slocal chapter director.

“I got the women involved in Cardiac Arrest andwe raised $10,000,” she says. “That gave me myfirst flavor for volunteering and nonprofit work.”

After graduation in 1989, Jill worked for another nonprofit before joining the AmericanHeart Association. She spent several years volunteer-ing at the local animal shelter, working with children’sgroups and was a Gamma Beta chapter adviser.She currently serves on the chapter’s HouseCorporation Board.

“I didn’t know you could have a career innonprofit,” Jill says. “The sorority exposed me tothat. [If I hadn’t been] philanthropy chair, I woulddefinitely not be in fundraising.”

Volunteering made Jillrealize she gained many

skills during her Alpha Phiexperience.“Maybe it doesn’t seem critical —

how to talk to someone during recruitment or speakat a meeting — but that’s what public speaking isabout,” she says.

Jill learned administrative and leadership skills asa chapter committee chair, event planning skills byorganizing chapter events and essential conversationskills during recruitment.

“How to get information across about yourselfand another person — that’s a skill everyoneneeds,” Jill says.

Matching volunteers with projectsSometimes people hesitate to volunteer becausethey’re not sure what type of organization would beright for them. Laine Price (I-Texas Tech) makesher living solving that problem.

A 1998 graduate, Laine is a corporate projectscoordinator for Hands On Atlanta. The company,part of an umbrella organization called City Cares,partners with nonprofits by arranging volunteerservice projects and teambuilding exercises forcorporations. In October, the nonprofit agencyconnected 15,000 Atlantans with volunteer oppor-tunities at more than 200 sites.

“The United Way gives funds; we send volunteers,”she says. “Nonprofits let us know their needs, and werecruit people who would like to volunteer but don’tknow where to channel their needs and talents.”

The organization encourages volunteers to “testout” different nonprofits to find one with whichthey feel a connection.

“The goal is to find one area they’re passionateabout — maybe it’s women’s issues, conservation or[a specific] agency they enjoy — [and lead them to]become a regular part of it.”

Laine’s volunteer and service positions as anundergraduate include philanthropy chair, scholar-ship chair and vice president of marketing. Ratherthan marketing or social work, Laine majored inFrench, though she couldn’t have predicted herinterest in international languages and volunteeringwould take her around the world.

“The goal is to find

one area they’re

passionate about.”

After graduation, Laine worked inthe Carter Center Foundation inAtlanta, as a democracy programintern, monitoring the political situationin Macedonia, Zimbabwe andMozambique. She provided logistical supportfor the election in Nigeria and traveled toIndonesia, preparing briefing materials during thoseelections.

She also spent a year volunteering throughAmericorps, sponsored by Hands On Atlanta. Shechose Hands On because of its focus on literacy,education and schools and spent most of her timetutoring at a school where one quarter of studentswere international, most refugees. Laine findsvolunteer work and working at a nonprofit agencyfulfilling and rewarding.

“I don’t find it very satisfying to sit at a desk allday just working to make a living,” she says. “I likea lot of personal interaction with people. It’s veryimportant to stay involved in our communities. Weall need help at some time.”

Volunteering has helped Laine meet people in anew city. It has other not-so-obvious benefits too.

“It helps you keep a tremendous sense ofperspective,” she says. “Once you get out and startinteracting you see people living with nothing, andyou realize how lucky you are.”

Giving women a voiceBecky Cook Cain (BI-West Virginia) combined aninterest in politics with volunteer service and rose tolead one of the nation’s most visible women’s politi-cal action organizations.

A 1965 graduate in politicalscience and international relations,

Becky is president and CEO of theGreater Kanawha Valley Community

Foundation and immediate past presidentof the League of Women Voters.

She first heard of the League while an under-graduate when a group of women visited campus.Five years later, the same group of women werepictured in the newspaper at the State Legislature.

“I thought that would be interesting to do andwondered how [to get involved],” she says.

After a friend suggested she call the organizationto find out more, Becky joined the League.

“The first meeting was the annual meeting. I sawwomen run a meeting using parliamentary procedure,very businesslike,” she says. “The second part was aluncheon, and the president of the county commis-sion spoke. These women were very knowledgeableabout the county and had very educated opinionsabout all sorts of issues. The press was there, and Iknew it was more than just a group of women. Ithad a broader community appeal.”

Becky was elected president in 1992, a positionshe held for six years. Her position required thecommitment of a full-time job.

Though unpaid, Becky was expected to workfull-time hours at times, remain professional andpoised, arrive on time and put in as much effort,if not more, than if she were working at a Fortune500 company.

“I love the nonprofit sector. The communityinvolvement, the collaborative nature,” Becky says.

Learning to be a diplomatClaire Waters Ferguson (BB-Michigan State) turnedher lifelong love of figure skating into a career as aninternational judge. She is a U.S. Figure SkatingAssociation (USFSA) past president and serves on theInternational Skating Union Council — the firstwoman from the United States to do so.

Claire, a 1957 graduate in communications skillsand English, lives in Jamestown, R.I. She beganskating at a young age and became a judge at age 16.She worked her way up to the national level, thento the Olympic level.

Claire Waters Ferguson

Being a judge is not all fun and games on theice. It involves some difficult decisions affecting thelives of many young skaters.

During Claire’s tenure as a teen leader in theUSFSA she saw a need to initiate changes in thesystem to help both skaters and their families.

“There was a lot of pressure and problems in theskaters’ lives. I inserted myself into thisgroup and pushed myself into the areaswhere I could make a difference forthe skaters,” she says.

Today, Claire continues to travelfor the International SkatingUnion while working part-time ather husband’s veterinary hospital.

She says volunteering taught her many things,including how to be a diplomat and a professional.

Continuous professional advancement For Joan Moonan Conrad (Q-Ball State),nonprofit work became a career, mostly due totiming. A 1968 graduate in English and education,she began volunteering while working as a teacher.

She stopped working to raise her children, but asthey grew, she decided to start a catering business.Four years into it, Joan analyzed the business anddecided she couldn’t make the financial commit-ment to help it grow. She created a new career forherself.

“It was a different time for women to go from anon-working world into the business world,” shesays. “I had to translate my volunteer and teachingexperiences into business skills.”

Joan soon found the skills she brought to thefield – being a good facilitator, planner, leader andnetwork-builder – would serve her well.

“There was always a woman’s network I identifiedwith,” she says. “That [network is] a really strongthing for Alpha Phi. That’s always been critical to mysuccess.”

Before long, Joan was executive director ofLeadership Niagara, a leadership training programthat educates professionals about communityleadership opportunities. She spent six years head-ing Festival of Lights, a regional winter festival inNiagara Falls, N.Y. Last year, Joan became directorof public relations and marketing at NiagaraHospice.

“The motivation for a not-for-profit leader is thecompassion, drive or vision you can bring to anorganization,” she says.

Volunteer opportunities are limitless. Alpha Phihopes to instill the volunteer spirit at the colle-

giate level and continue that movementinto alumnae life. For information on

I joined Alpha Phi a few short months ago, monthsfilled with meeting people and learning about AlphaPhi. In the midst of e-mails, phone messages, meetingsand conference calls, my overwhelming impression isthat volunteers who give so much to this Fraternity areits spirit and heart.

I’d like to share my thoughts and impressions ofAlpha Phi’s 128-year legacy:how that legacy is preservedin the present, and continuesin the future.

The legacy…I came down the ExecutiveOffice (EO) stairs oneevening to a group of accom-plished Alpha Phis, past pres-idents and leaders, seated inthe living room. They wererelaxing, laughing and sharingmemories over hors d’oeuvresserved on Alpha Phi etchedglass plates before eating ameal on Alpha Phi gold-edged china.

The dinnerware has itsown memories: Two AlphaPhis were life-long friends.After one died, the otherdonated her friend’s china tothe EO in her name. Life-long friendships: onelegacy so important in Alpha Phi.

Back to the women in the living room. Theyvolunteered a week of time to sort through memora-bilia and paperwork that accumulated at the EO.Dirty, tiring work — especially for women whoseaverage age was mid-70s! But those sisters worked

tirelessly to preserve Alpha Phi’s history. Because offriendships, yes. But more than that — because oftheir devotion to preserving and nurturing thelegacy of Alpha Phi.

Preserving the legacy in the present…I see your International Executive Board at work:

women with careers, families,community demands. They givetime in weekend meetings andevening conference calls to insureAlpha Phi’s legacy is enhanced.

Our volunteers lead busy, fulllives. The will to volunteer remainsstrong, but time is short!

Alpha Phi’s cutting-edge StrategicPlan recognized this trend anddesigned a board governance/staffmanagement structure to accommo-date decreasing volunteer time andincreasing legal complexities ofdealing with Fraternity issues. Witha board/staff partnership, Alpha Phican most effectively utilize volunteertalents and staff professionals toprovide today’s woman with toolsneeded to grow and improve at anylife stage.

One challenge over the next 6–12months is to fully enact the staff and

office infrastructure envisioned by the Plan. Criticalstaff shortages are being addressed, and many openingsshould be filled by the time you read this Quarterly.

EO facilities and technology are under review tobe updated and expanded as funds allow. Targetedenhancements include an improved phone system,better database management and expansion of e-mail

A Heritage of Volunteers Alpha Phi Moves into the Future

By Pamela Wilcox, Fraternity Executive Director

How exciting to become part of this rich Alpha Phi heritage, I

thought, as I interviewed for the Fraternity executive director

job. Here is a legacy of women working to help other women —

very much in tune with my beliefs.

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

“With a board/staff

partnership, Alpha Phi

can most effectively utilize

volunteer talents and staff

professionals to provide

today’s woman with tools

needed to grow and

improve at any life stage.”

and Web technologies to our regional and chapternetwork.

These improvements will allow us to be moreefficient and answer volunteer needs in ever-improving ways. This increased service level allowsvolunteers to maximize the limited time they candevote to the Fraternity. A positive volunteer expe-rience helps to preserve the legacy in the present.

Continuing to build the legacy in the future…Tradition and strength of values build a legacy, butit must be strengthened, renewed and expanded toremain vital in the future.

As we work into the full staff model envisionedby the Strategic Plan, the EO staff commits to findever better ways to answer your questions, providenew resources, deliver innovative programming,predict new trends and provide extensive supportfor all levels of our volunteer structure. Your duesdollars provide direct support for these efforts, andyou deserve the most value for your dollar.

We enjoy a tremendous opportunity to play arole in increasing worldwide interest in women’sheart disease, unite under our Foundation’s bannerand encourage members across the country to jointhose efforts. The subject is rich in issues andmarketing opportunities that can unite Alpha Phisacross the country and expand our image beyondthe Greek world.

Growing into our board/staff partnership, devel-oping women at every level, staying ahead of trendsand capitalizing on opportunities — such effortswill continue to build our legacy into the future.

One day 20 years from now, as I’m walking veryslowly down those EO stairs, I’ll see some of ourcurrent collegians in the living room chairs, enjoy-ing hors d’oeuvres served on Alpha Phi dinnerware,relaxing after working hard on volunteer activities,sharing good times and friendship.

And, with that passing of the torch, the legacy ofvolunteerism and friendship ever continues!

Pamela Wilcox is Alpha Phi Fraternity’s new executivedirector. An experienced professional, Pam spent morethan 20 years in executive management, most recentlyas executive vice president of MindLeap, Incorporated.

Pamela Wilcox, Executive Director

College(s) attended: Augustana College studyingpre-med and biology; BA from Carthage College inbiology and chemistry. MBA from Northwestern’sKellogg School of Management.

Alpha Phi position description: Partner with theInternational Executive Board to determine impor-tant issues and Fraternity agenda, advance theFraternity’s mission and foster its long-term welfare.Lead the Fraternity staff to create, provide anddeliver the IEB approved services and productsdesired by volunteers.

As executive director I am most lookingforward to: understanding the Fraternity, meetingvolunteers, completing the Strategic Plan implemen-tation. Partnering with the IEB to plan innovativeservices and products for volunteers.

The most rewarding part of my job (thus far) is:seeing a level of volunteer commitment that goesfar beyond what I’ve seen in the not-for-profit worldas a whole.

If I didn’t work for Alpha Phi, I’d: be back in theprivate sector, leading a start-up venture or headingre-organization efforts for merged companies ororganizations entering new markets.

Favorite college memory: That was so long ago.In retrospect, as is always the case, the best memo-ries relate to people: times spent with friends, mostof whom I’ve lost track of through the years. Oursororities were local, not international. Alpha Phisare so lucky to be able to reconnect through theiralumnae groups!

No one knows that I secretly: read MarthaStewart’s magazine. No, I don’t have time to do theprojects, but her recipes are really good. Besides, sheis a very successful businesswoman!

The three words that best describe me are:intelligent, growing and forever changing.

Giving something precious — your time — to those who need helpmakes you feel really good. Maybe you discovered this in high school,or later during your collegiate Alpha Phi experience. Volunteering alsosets a great example for others. You’re helping make your communitya better place by donating your skills and knowledge.

But volunteering isn’t just altruistic — it’s work! Volunteeringcan be a great way to gain valuable work-relatedskills, break into a new field or show outsideinterests and balance to an employer.

Alpha Phi relies on volunteers from chapterofficers and advisers to those serving at theinternational level. Partly in recognition of theskills gained through this work, titles for AlphaPhi volunteers were changed recently to reflectgreater professionalism. These new titles helpothers understand the complex skills neededfor Fraternity volunteering.

Learn ways to structure your volunteerexperiences, gain the most from them and pres-ent the experiences on your resume attractively.

Why volunteer? Collegians might be tryingout different career choices or choosing a degreeplan. Alumnae members might be returning towork after time at home. Changing values anda greater need for work/life balance can lead torevisiting career choices for other women.Wherever a woman is in her life, volunteering offers a way tofreshen skills, ease into the workplace and test different careers.

Determine your goals. First, research the career fields that inter-est you to understand the knowledge and skills they require. Thendetermine some possible places where you might volunteer —places that can help you develop these skills. Once you’ve selectedan organization, make your goals clear to them.

Where do I go? For collegians, student groups offer a wealth ofopportunities. Outside of college, many organizations seek volun-teers, though non-profit and governmental organizations are usuallymore accepting. Often short of funding staff positions, these kindsof organizations offer many opportunities for volunteers. Thesegroups perform many of the same functions as for-profit corpora-tions, so finding the experience you seek is a reachable goal. Forexample, producing an anti-smoking campaign for a high schooldevelops marketing techniques.

Finding the balance. Articulate the tasks you think you canperform as well as the skills you hope to learn. Your volunteer

experience needs to be a balance between providing needed servicesand learning. As you begin to develop a skill and knowledge base,the services you provide can reflect these skills.

Don’t be afraid to create a written plan of your expectations toensure that you and your volunteer coordinator understand eachother’s goals. This also gives you something to refer to if you are

not given the chance to learn.Make sure there is someone at the organiza-

tion taking responsibility for your volunteer expe-rience. You are contributing your time and skills;in return you deserve the opportunity to learnand someone to oversee your work and progress.

Create more opportunity. Take advantageof educational conferences your organizationattends. Conferences and classes give youadditional opportunities to learn and allowyou to network at the same time.

Take it seriously. Though you are not paid,you must make a good impression. Living up toyour commitments is important. This meansbeing on time, completing the work you agreeto, proofreading your writing and getting alongwith co-workers. Your level of professionalismcan lead to a job or great references.

Show off. Employers care about your experi-ence and skills far more than they care whether

you were paid to acquire them. On a resume, using the more generic term “Experience” rather

than “Employment” or “Work History” allows you to list yourvolunteer experience just as you would list other jobs. If yourvolunteer work is not directly related to your career goals, youmay prefer to put it in the “Activities” section of your resume.

Either way, elaborate on your accomplishments rather than justlisting dates and organizations. Don’t assume that employers willask about your volunteering. Stating accomplishments specificallyon your resume is what will land you the interview.

Last words. List volunteer work on your resume. Whatever youare doing, you show balance in your life and concern for others —an attractive trait to employers. Who wouldn’t want to hire a greatvolunteer?

Volunteering as a Career Move: Get Your Foot in the DoorBy Heather Wallace (BT-Indiana)

“Volunteering isn’t just

altruistic — it’s work!

Volunteering can be a

great way to gain valuable

work-related skills, break

into a new field or show

outside interests and

SCHOLARLY WAYS

There is a wonderful trend amongPennsylvania (HI) chapter members. Eachyear, Penn seniors and graduate students canapply for a Thouron Award, a fellowship for aone to two-year program at a United Kingdomuniversity for which all expenses are paid. AnEta Iota member has won for the past fouryears!

In 1997, Katinka Domotorfy won aThouron Award to study economics at theLondon School of Economics (LSE). KatherineMinarik won the award in 1998, studyingsocial psychology at LSE.

NORTHERN COLORADO ALUMNAE REUNITE IN TUCSON

Northern Colorado (∆Γ) alumnae from the classes of1958–1965 held a reunion at the Omni Tucson National GolfResort in May. Ellie Arroyo Jewell, Doris Winter Blackaby,Chris Benner Romine, Lynne Holleuffer and Sue PriehsButterweck planned the weekend. Ellie’s kitchen was thecatering headquarters; all ate well!

More than 20 sisters stayed in Hacienda Casitas apart fromthe rest of the resort to talk, laugh and enjoy until the wee

hours. Program Committee Chair Joyce Walker kept business to a minimumwhile suggesting several ideas that took hold. The women shared feelings inresponse to a prompt from Joyce that read, “Let’s face the harsh reality: we areall a tiny bit older than when we first came to know each other. Things havehappened to us in life. Perhaps these things are unknown to one’s old(ish)friends. But perhaps they cause so much joy or gratitude that they need to comeout and be shared.” Saturday’s dinner included many toasts and a lovely pianoaccompaniment by Tom Butterweck, a former classmate and husband of SueButterweck.

How often in life can one seemingly walk back in time? The next reunion(2003) is in Colorado. Alumnae in this class range are invited to attend.–Judy Gifford Lease (∆Γ-Northern Colorado)

Alpha Phi collegiate chapter residences and meeting rooms shouldbe safe, quality and competitive. Those expectations are easy tostate, but difficult to meet. The House Corporation Boards (HCB)and Chapter Property Committees (CPC) that own or lease andmanage these facilities struggle to maintain them, facing challengessuch as:

• Depleted reserves from low membership periods• Aging structures with code violations and security and

safety concerns• Need to support students with changing technology• Competition from special features offered in university

dormitories and college houses• Visible “wear and tear” in high-use facilities• Increased sophistication in interior designIn spite of seemingly insurmountable odds, every year dozens

of HCBs and CPCs evaluate their properties, develop plans andmake improvements. Their stories are a credit to all who servefaithfully on these boards.

Minnesota (E)Early 1999, Epsilon Corporation of Minnesota determined a reno-vation of its circa 1911 English Tudor house was needed to remaincompetitive. This included code compliance for plumbing, heatingand electrical, a new roof and decorating of first floor public areas.The chapter’s space needs were assessed, and a traffic flow studyconducted. After renovation the house is functional, flexible, beau-tiful, and the local loan is within the chapter’s financial capability.

The focal point of Epsilon’s formal living area has always beena 1938 Steinway baby grand piano. To restore the piano to itsoriginal state, the HCB’s fundraising effort, “Keys for Phis,”brought a tremendous response. Alumnae, parents, families andfriends sent checks, but also letters recalling memories of thespecial piano and the importance of music in the house.

Washington (Σ)Forty Seattle alumnae gathered for lunch in January 2000 andheard concerns about outdated wallpaper in the Sigma chapterhouse. These alumnae contacted the HCB president and Seattlealumnae chapter president to initiate a collaborative fundraisingeffort. They report a 26 percent rate of response and receivedfunds needed to hire an interior designer and complete a wallpaperand painting project.

Nebraska (N)Nu’s HCB was named Outstanding House Corporation Board ofthe biennium during Convention 2000 for exceptional stewardshipof its facility. The HCB includes advisers, collegians, staff, alumnaeand local authorities in developing and executing a master plan forthe property. A recent project focused on renovating the diningroom and foyer. In addition to new flooring, window treatments,wallpaper, lighting and furniture, the project included asbestosremoval, improved study lighting and a renovated bathroom.

Washburn (Y)The Upsilon chapter at Washburn University, Topeka, Kan., waschartered in 1923, and a house was constructed in 1925. Althoughthe house was repaired after tornado damage in 1966, it sufferedfrom inadequate electrical capabilities, a steam heating systemplagued with breakdowns and condemned air conditioning units —complicated by new municipal mandates concerning fire safety. Aproject executed during summer 2000 replaced HVAC systems,upgraded electrical service, installed full house sprinklers with direct-wired detectors in each room and replaced an exterior fire escape.Although the Upsilon HCB worked hard over the years to maintainan attractive residence, the aging infrastructure and local fire marshalmandated the project to ensure safety and building integrity.

As in Seattle and Minneapolis, Topeka alumnae turned toUpsilon and Kansas area alumnae for donations to help under-write the essential project. Their fundraising provided importantfinancing and will continue as an annual giving program.

These are recent examples from large Alpha Phi houses. However,all projects, no matter scope or cost, are equally critical.

Join the efforts!Successful chapter residences and meeting facilities require regularattention. Those who serve on HCBs and CPCs deserve apprecia-tion and assistance. Here are two ways everyone can help:

Give your time, expertise and experience. HCBs and CPCsneed alumnae to serve on their boards or committees and forspecial projects and fundraising.

Donate to Alpha Phi housing. Donations are not deductible forincome tax purposes, so they are gifts of the heart. Contributionsof all sizes make a difference in keeping Alpha Phi homes safe,quality and competitive.

Dr. Stanley Trent loves teaching.

His dedication earned for him the Alpha Phi Foundation 2000 InternationalProfessor of the Year award and a $2,100 grant from the Foundation.

“I am passionate about teaching. I gain much satisfaction from engaging inthis enterprise, from mutually constructing knowledge and from building a

learning community with individuals. I try tohelp my students feel what it means to be a goodteacher,” says Dr. Trent.

An associate professor in the Curry School ofEducation at the University of Virginia, Dr. Trenttaught Janna Glover and Melissa Neuner (bothFI-Virginia) in a class entitled The ExceptionalChild in Sociocultural Perspective. Janna andMelissa share the $250 award for nominating thewinner.

“He significantly influenced the way we thinkabout teaching, and he has inspired us to becomelifelong learners,” Janna and Melissa say.

Inspirational describes Dr. Trent’s classroomstyle, according to the collegians. Classes beginwith “power jams,” where students use poetry or

music to inspire the class. Each week students write via e-mail a “dialogue journal”to Dr. Trent. He then responds to each student and includes in lectures theconcepts discussed.

It is this individual attention that encouraged Janna and Melissa to nominateDr. Trent.

“Professor Trent made a conscious effort to help us apply knowledge to ourown lives and our developing teaching styles. It’s evident that he sincerely caresabout each one of us. He has an open door policy and is easily approachable,”Janna and Melissa say.

Accepting the Professor of the Year award, Dr. Trent expresses his gratitude tothese students.

“I am most honored because I was nominated by my students, members ofthe Zeta Iota chapter at the University of Virginia,” he says.

The Foundation makes two additional grants as part of its Professor of theYear program: one of $250 to Zeta Iota chapter for nominating the winner andanother of $1,000 to the University of Virginia for its scholarship fund.

Zeta Iota urges all Alpha Phi collegiate chapters to nominate a professor forthe award. The deadline for the 2001 contest is April 15.

Team Kettering members who conducted theceremony were: Team Lead Michelle Lucak (FT-University of Dayton), Lori Creviston (BB-Michigan State), Conni Crittenden, UpperMidwest Regional Manager Jan Brinker Schaeffer(BO-Bowling Green State), Educational LeadershipConsultant Carissa Waida (I-Texas Tech), ProgramCoordinator of Extension Megan Ford (GK-George Mason) and Administrative Associate ofMembership Samantha Lineberger (EB-Butler).Iota Epsilon Chapter Adviser Lisa Phillips (A)and Karen Wilkinson of Kettering University alsocontributed greatly to the success of the weekend.In addition to charter members, five women wereinitiated as alumnae.

Bring on the Quarterly!I am especially glad to be receiving my Quarterlyagain; I’m 10 hours away from home and collegeand I need to feel connected in some way — theQuarterly does that for me. I think it is absolutelywonderful — I love reading it! Keep up the greatwork and please keep them coming. Thank you!

Random Acts of KindnessAs a college student, I am frequently short onmoney. Being a member of the Greek system, I amalways short on money. Tuition, date parties, books,chapter dues, T-shirts. . . where does the spendingend? I know that many people can relate to mysituation, which is why I am writing this article. Iam proud to say that despite our individual finan-cial troubles, many [Ohio State (Q) sisters] dug alittle deeper into their pockets for a good cause.

During chapter meeting one night, one of ourmembers came forward with a problem. One of herfriends had been diagnosed with cervical cancer andcould not afford to pay for the surgery that wasessential to her recovery. The immediate responsefrom our sisters was wonderful to see. Our chaptertook up a collection for her within the Greek

community and raised more than $1,100, enablingher to have the surgery. I believe that it is thingslike this that make Alpha Phi special; it showsgenerosity of spirit and concern for others. After all,what is more important — helping a friend in needor getting another T-shirt?

PHIS SHARE UNFORGETTABLE TRIPSWITH SISTERS

Cross-country Trip Renews Alpha Phi BondThis past June I decided to take [my big sis whohad moved to New York] up on the invitation [tovisit]. I convinced another sister to join me and weflew out to see her for two weeks.

We had a blast and were able to go everywherefrom Washington D.C. to Boston. My favorite partof the trip was our drive to Syracuse (A). I hadalways wanted to visit our founding house, butsince I live in California I thought that looking atpictures of it was as close as I would get.

The four-hour drive was worth it, and we wereexcited. To our surprise no one was there but a fewpainters who were getting the house ready for thefall. We said we came all the way from California,showed our Alpha Phi letters and asked if we couldtake a peek inside. I will never forget the way myheart pounded when we stumbled across some oldphotos of our Founders.

I am so thankful I joined Alpha Phi. Eventhough my big sister is still thousands of milesaway, she will always be in my thoughts and heart.

When I returned home I was able to share thisexperience with other Eta Beta sisters. It turns outthat we were the only women in our chapter to seethe house. My Alpha Phi experience is somethingI’ll treasure for many years. [As a new] alumna, Ihope to continue to help my sisters flourish.

Alpha PhitalyThis past semester I had the opportunity to studyabroad in Rome, Italy through Michigan StateUniversity. The experience has changed me as a personas well as given me a chance to learn more about threeAlpha Phi sisters. I want to share this experience withother sisters to prove the importance of stickingtogether through thick and thin and realizing thepower and bonds that we all share.

It all started on Jan. 17, 2000 when four AlphaPhis from Michigan State (BB) ventured to the landof pizza and pasta. When we arrived in Rome, Italy,the adrenaline started pumping throughout ourbodies. We all knew that this would be a time ofunforgettable memories [and travels] to places that,up until this point, we had only read about in books.

Our weekends consisted of long hours spent onuncomfortable trains that routed us to beautifuldestinations: Paris, Munich, Prague, Amsterdam,Interlaken, Milan, Florence, Capri, Venice, Londonand Barcelona. Our weekdays were spent with new

friends exploring thehistorical monumentsthat make up the cityof Rome. We learneda lot about theculture, the environ-ment and the life thatwe would soon adaptto. Reflecting, I couldnot imagine anyother way to spendmy time. This wasthe best experienceof my life and I amso happy that I gotto share it with myAlpha Phi sisters.

Europe Trip is Experience of a LifetimeJune 1999 was easily the most exciting and memo-rable month of my life. It was the culmination ofyears of daydreaming and nearly a year and a half ofplanning. June was my month in Europe — 28days of adventure and memories to last a lifetime,and I shared it all with Alpha Phi sisters.

I had always dreamed of a trip to Europe; theonly problem was that I was lacking a travelcompanion. As a newmember at WilliamWoods (V), I foundmy answer. MeganHarbison, one of mynew sisters, was inter-ested and although Ibarely knew her, herquiet demeanor matchedmine and I was happy tohave a travel companion.

We devoured travelmagazines and made allour arrangementstogether. Late nightplanning became ourgreat pastime.

[Part of the plan included] visiting another soror-ity sister, Whitney Mitchell, who would be studyingabroad during the semester in Nottingham, England.

Following graduation, the adventure began—first to England to visit Whitney (the time was tooshort). We dealt with the repercussions of the ATMin Germany that wouldn’t give Megan her cardback. We embarked on countless adventures withour travel group, including an 11-mile bike rideand an evening walk through Amsterdam’s red lightdistrict. We got lost at night in Rome, went whitewater rafting in freezing Austrian water andsunbathed by the pool on a Greek island. We sawthe most amazing historical monuments and we atestrawberries by the Seine River.

The memories overwhelm me at times. I am soglad that I was able to share the most excitingmonth of my life with two Alpha Phi sisters whoalso became my dearest friends.
