Dear Sisters,As the chair of the Alpha Phi

Foundation and the InternationalPresident for Alpha Phi Fraternity, we spend time every week talking aboutone of our shared concerns: your heart!

So, how is your heart? This question is perhaps a little personal, but as concerned sisters, we want you to

know we care about your heart, and we care in three different ways. The first way is the most literal of all. Really, how is the heart that is

beating inside your chest right now? Heart disease is the no. 1 killer ofwomen. We want to ensure that all women are educated about good hearthealth and are making every effort to prevent heart disease. Women’s hearthealth is the focus of this issue of the Alpha Phi Quarterly.

Your philanthropic heart is also very important to us. Through your gifts,we create and fund heart research and disease prevention activities as well as educational leadership and scholarship programs that represent the corevalues of our Alpha Phi Founders. Your generous gifts demonstrate yourcommitment to adding value to the lives of women and touch many of yoursisters. The Fraternity and Foundation are working together on cutting edgeinitiatives that will add even more value to the lives of our collegiate andalumnae members and keep Alpha Phi at the forefront of the Greek world.Your giving warms our hearts!

Finally, we remember the love we felt in our hearts for our Alpha Phi sisterhood when we pinned on the new member badge. Is that feeling stillstrong in your heart today? Through our weekly conversations and the dedicated work of the board and staff members of both organizations we are generating new ideas to facilitate and strengthen your connection toAlpha Phi and your chapter sisters.

Our wish for each of you is a healthy heart, a giving heart and a heartconnected in sisterhood.

Heart to heart,

F e a t u r e

A L P H A P H I Quarterly

Heart disease is the number one killer ofwomen in North America. As Alpha Phis,we should know this. We promote cardiaccare and spread the word about the impor-tance of awareness in the prevention ofheart disease. But are we doing enough forourselves?

According to Dr. Martha Gulati (ThetaEta-Western Ontario), NorthwesternMemorial Hospital cardiologist and co-author of the newest guidelines on heartdisease prevention in women published bythe American Heart Association (AHA),preventing heart disease in women of allages involves knowing the risk factors andbeing proactive about one’s own health.

“The new guidelines on heart diseaseprevention in women indicate nearly allwomen are at risk,” says Dr. Gulati.

The six risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol,diabetes, being overweight or obese, physi-cal inactivity and smoking. Other factors,such as a family history of heart disease orany of the risk factors of heart disease, alsocan affect your level of risk.

In order to determine your own per-sonal risk, Dr. Gulati recommends yearlyscreening, learning your numbers andbeing aware of changes in your numbers.(A summary of the numbers a womanshould familiarize herself with are listed onpage 5.)

Screening: what to ask your doctorBeginning at age 20, every woman needs to be screened for heart disease, says Dr. Gulati. It should be part of your annual physical exam.

Screenings include blood work (tocheck cholesterol and kidney function),blood pressure check, heart exam, weightmeasurement and possibly waist measure-ment and a discussion with your physicianabout symptoms that may be of concern(chest pain during activity or at rest, lack

of activity, etc.). Other tests such as a stress test or EKG may be recommendeddepending on symptoms.

Ask your physician two questions: Am I at risk? What can I do to reduce myrisk? Your physician should discuss optionsdepending on where you fall on the riskscale (high, intermediate or low).

Heart disease screenings should beconsidered routine under most insuranceplans (check with your plan to confirm and learn details). If you have never beenscreened, make an appointment with yourprimary care physician to do so. Womenshould be screened at least once a year, butan individual’s risk factors determine theregularity and number of visits to yourdoctor. For those at higher risk, your physi-cian may recommend additional tests andexaminations.

Know your numbersBased on the results of your screening, you will have a set of numbers that allowyou to calculate your risk for heart disease.Once you learn what is normal and notnormal for you, you will know when theyare not controlled. “Watch your owntrends so you can cite what’s happeningand have a more rational discussion withyour doctor about why you’re concerned,”says Dr. Gulati. She notes one time whennumbers will change, for example, is dur-ing menopause. “This is why we see anincrease of heart disease in women aftermenopause,” she says.

Blood pressure: There are usually nosymptoms of high blood pressure, so morethan one-third of adults are unaware theyhave the condition. Normal blood pressureis 120/80 (systolic/diastolic) or lower. It isimportant to know where your numberslie. If not normal, ask your doctor whatyou can do to keep your blood pressureunder control. Suggestions to lower highblood pressure include decrease salt and fat

What are you doing to prevent it?

The following online resources offer information

specific to women and include everything from

prevention – recommended heart-healthy

recipes to ideas for getting motivated to

exercise – to support after you’ve had a

heart attack.

Women Heart: www.womenheart.org

P A G E T W O

From the American Heart Association

1. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number

one killer of women (one in three women will

die from it)

2. 42.1 million women (36%) live with CVD

3. More than 50,000 more women than men

die every year from heart disease.

4. “Nearly all women are at risk for CVD,

underscoring the importance of a heart-healthy

lifestyle in everyone.”

Risk Factors for Heart Disease

1. High Blood Pressure

2. High Cholesterol

3. Diabetes

4. Being Overweight or Obese

5. Physical Inactivity

6. Smoking

Other factors, such as a family history of heart

disease, can also affect your level of risk.

intake, increase the amount of fruits andvegetables you eat, stop smoking andremain physically active. Menopause is akey time for women to discuss blood pres-sure and other numbers since it is animportant time of change for their bodies,says Dr. Gulati.

Cholesterol: High cholesterol builds upplaque in your blood vessels and can causeheart attacks and strokes. Know your HDL(good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesteroland triglycerides (bad) levels, and knowwhat range is normal for you. As a generalrule, a woman’s HDL should be greaterthan 50, LDL less than 100, and triglyc-erides should be less than 150. To keepcholesterol under control, it is recom-mended that you eat foods low in saturatedfats and cholesterol, maintain a healthyweight and exercise.

Diabetes: People with diabetes have atleast twice the risk of heart disease. Womenwith diabetes are at a greater risk of devel-oping heart disease compared to men with diabetes. Warning signs of diabetesinclude frequent urination, excessive thirstor unusual weight loss. A healthy diet andexercise can help prevent and manage diabetes.

Heart-healthy habits According to Dr. Gulati, even if yournumbers fall in the low risk category, it isimportant to live a heart-healthy lifestyle.

“It is critical to maintain a healthyweight by eating wisely and getting dailyexercise,” she says. “If you gain even twopounds per year, it adds up over severalyears. I am not recommending a diet or a drastic change in habits, but to startwith small changes that become part ofyour life.”

Weight: Adults with excess body fat aremore likely to develop heart disease – evenif they have no other risk factors. Forwomen, a waist circumference greater than

35 inches puts you at higher risk of devel-oping diabetes and heart disease. Yourphysician can recommend a sensible nutrition and exercise program to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Dr. Gulati says she reminds herpatients, “Everything we put in ourmouths, we should be thinking, am I going to burn off these calories?” There are 300 calories in an average chocolatebar. To burn 300 calories, one would haveto walk or run three miles (one mile ofexercise is equal to 100 calories burned).

Read food and drink labels. Note contents and number of servings. Payattention to saturated fat (cut back), transfat (eliminate completely), eat fish at leasttwice a week or take fish oil supplement,and eat fruits and vegetables (antioxidantshelp maintain heart health).

There have been many studies done on whether supplements work. The onlysupplement known for certain to be goodfor the heart, says Dr. Gulati, is fish oil. If you cannot get the recommended twoservings of fish per week (best choices withOmega 3 are salmon, tuna and trout), then 500-900 mg of a fish oil supplementis recommended. For women of child-bearing age and young children, supple-ments are recommended because of concerns over the mercury in fish.

“Portions are much larger today, andthat is why it’s important to know whatserving size should be,” says Dr. Gulati.“The burgers people eat today are threetimes the size of those from the 1950s. If you look on the label of even a small bag of chips, you’ll see it indicates a servingsize of two.”

“There is an obesity epidemic and adiabetes epidemic today, and the worse itgets, the earlier we will see heart disease,”Dr. Gulati says. “We will start to see peoplehaving heart attacks in their 30s if we don’tstop this now.”

Calculate Your Risk for Heart Disease

When you know your numbers, you can calculate your risk for heart disease. If you do not know them, schedule a screening with your physician.

The National Institute of Health risk calculator assesses 10-year risk for heart disease based on age, cholesterol and blood pressure levels and

whether you smoke. Just plug in your numbers and learn your 10-year risk, take it to your doctor and ask what you should be doing to lower your risk.

Visit http://hp2010.nhlbihin.net/atpiii/calculator.asp?usertype=prof for the calculator.

Exercise: Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity improvesyour cardiovascular fitness and helpsreduce your risk of heart disease.Exercise can help control cholesterol,diabetes, blood pressure and obesity.Physically fit women have lower ratesof death from cardiac causes and also,from any cause.

The new guidelines recommend 60-90 minutes of exercise seven daysper week. Dr. Gulati says the recom-mendation increased from 30 minutesdaily because most women are tryingto lose weight or achieve a more idealweight. To maintain weight, 30 min-utes of daily exercise is recommended.

Walk. Take the stairs. Make time to exercise each day. If you’re currentlysedentary, check with your physicianbefore beginning an exercise program,begin slow and work up to the recom-mended amount of daily exercise.

“It is important for parents to set an example for their children,” says Dr. Gulati. “If parents are sedentary,children will be too. Examine theexample you are setting. Make healthyhabits a family lifestyle.”

Smoking: Smoking is the singlemost preventable cause of death inNorth America. It poses a greater riskto women than men. It is never toolate to quit. Ask your physician forhelp and recommendations.

Even Alpha Phis, who are aware ofthe importance of cardiac care, don’trecognize heart disease in themselves,says Dr. Gulati. She says it is criticalthat we all take a more proactiveapproach to ensure our heart health by getting screened and learning ourpersonal risk.

artha Gulati, MD, MS, FACC, is associate director of the Center for Women’s Cardiovascular

Health at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. She is also

an assistant professor of medicine and preventive medicine at Northwestern University’s

Feinberg School of Medicine. Her exceptional commitment to the study of women and cardiac disease

has won her numerous awards and distinctions, including being named by Crain’s Chicago Business as

one of Chicago’s “Top 40 under 40.”

Dr. Gulati is passionate about the study of women and heart disease with a specific interest in

fitness and prevention. She is the primary investigator of the St. James Women Take Heart Project, a

study examining cardiac risk factors in women, which set new standards for women’s fitness levels.

She also is a co-investigator on the Women Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) and previously served

as a co-investigator on the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI).

She is a member of numerous advisory boards and societies, including the American Heart

Association and the American College of Cardiology. She has published articles in peer-reviewed

publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation and Journal of the American

Medical Association (JAMA). Her research has been featured in hundreds of newspapers across the

world, including The New York Times and USA Today. She has also been featured on “Oprah” and in

Oprah Magazine, Fitness Magazine and on CBS National News and NBC-5 Chicago. She recently was

listed on the Marquis 2007 Who’s Who in America.

Dr. Gulati completed medical school at the University of Toronto, Canada, in 1995, and her internship,

residency, and cardiology fellowship at the University of Chicago. She received a master of science

degree from the University of Chicago and is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. She is

board certified in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease.

(Heart Disease, continued)

The best way to prevent heart disease is to know what is normal for your own body, and continue to monitor your own trends. Knowing the risk factors, your own

family history and noting changes in what’s normal for you will allow you to have a more informed discussion with your physician regarding your concerns.

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

Alpha Phi International Fraternity, Inc., and the Alpha PhiFoundation are two separate legal entities. However, the twoorganizations have very similar priorities and goals, and oftenwork hand in hand to accomplish these goals. In fact, some find it difficult to distinguish between the two organizations.

The Foundation’s mission statement currently states the following:

Sound familiar? The purpose of the Alpha Phi InternationalFraternity, as described in its mission statement is:

“We are two organizations, each with our own staffs, boards of directors and independent legal identities, but we work togethermore often than not,” says Foundation Executive Director EmilyEllison Lamb (Gamma Iota-Texas Tech). “I encourage all members to embrace the fact that we are one, big Alpha Phi!”

The Fraternity and Foundation have worked in harmony sincethe Foundation’s creation in 1956. The Alpha Phi Foundationfunds many programs supporting the Fraternity, including:

• Educational leadership consultants• Regional Conferences • Leadership Initiative and other leadership training programs • New member education programming• Alcohol awareness education• Forget-Me-Not grants for Alpha Phis who face financial crisis

In 1946, Alpha Phi adopted cardiac aid as itsinternational philanthropy;the Alpha Phi Foundationwas incorporated 10 years later.Together, Alpha Phi Fraternity and the Alpha Phi Foundation have been committed to hearthealth for more than 60 years.

This biennium, the partnership between the Fraternity andFoundation continues to strengthen. Twice during the past year,the two boards have met in joint sessions to address significantdevelopments and challenges for the organizations. The staffs andvolunteers of both organizations worked together to create AlphaPhi’s Leadership Initiative program and continue to work jointlyon the project. This innovative program is funded by the AlphaPhi Foundation and is designed to foster Alpha Phi values-basedleadership skills in our collegiate members as well as increaseinvolvement opportunities for our alumnae members.

Education is also a shared priority for Alpha Phi Fraternity andFoundation. Our members are expected to strive for the highestideals of scholarship, and the Foundation is steadfast in supportingthis priority. Fifty-seven Alpha Phis benefited this year from morethan $150,000 in merit-based scholarship grants awarded by theFoundation.

The Foundation’s new GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade)program reaches out to young alumnae and provides this group an important way to support Alpha Phi’s programs and growth.

As so much of the Foundation’s efforts go to support the workof the Fraternity, the relationship is mutually beneficial.

Alpha Phi International Fraternity’s Executive Director SusanZabriskie (Theta-Michigan) believes the partnership between theFraternity and Foundation is one of the organization’s greateststrengths: “The possibilities are endless because of the strong partnership between the two. Such a strength should be a sourceof great pride for all of us.”

The Fraternity and Foundation … together we are Alpha Phi!

Fraternity and Foundation: Together We Are Alpha Phi

In the spirit of mutual respect and life-long membershipin Alpha Phi, the Foundation funds programs 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

Alpha Phi International Fraternity is a membershiporganization dedicated to promoting sisterhood, cultivating leadership, encouraging intellectual curiosityand advocating service. Alpha Phi develops character for a lifetime.

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E I E B

Supporting women’s heart health: it’s an important focus of the Alpha PhiFoundation’s mission. Thanks to generousdonors, the Foundation funded $100,000in Cardiac Care Award grants last year.Here’s how your gifts help women’s heartsand make an impact in communities.

Go Red for WomenFor the second year in a row, the Alpha Phi Foundation selected the San Diegoaffiliate of the American Heart Associa-tion® (AHA) and its Go Red For Women®

educational outreach program as a $50,000grant recipient.

Local Alpha Phi collegians and Foundationrepresentatives participated in theAHA San Diegoaffiliate’s Go Red forWomen luncheonlast year. More than 700 women attended the all-day educational andfundraising event at the Hotel DelCoronado. The luncheon benefits AHA’slife-saving research and educational pro-grams. Alpha Phi’s grant this year will sup-port the event on Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, andseveral other AHA educational programsthroughout the year.

“We are excited for the opportunity to continue partnering with Alpha Phi forwomen’s heart health. Both organizationsare moving in the same direction and trying to get the message across that heartdisease is not just an old man’s disease. It’s encouraging to us that, before theyknow what they want to do with theirlives, these young women are learningabout heart health and the choices they can make every day to reduce their risk,”says Emily Harris, business developmentdirector for the San Diego AHA affiliate.

This year’s event features breakoutsessions, health screenings, a heart healthyexpo and a live and silent auction. TheAHA also continues to promoteGoRedForWomen.org and the Go RedHeart Checkup. The goal: one millionwomen complete the Heart Checkup, findout their numbers and understand theirpersonal risk for heart disease.

A woman’s heart is differentThe Foundation also awarded a $50,000grant to the Cardiac & Vascular Center at the University of Colorado Hospital(UCH) to support the educational effortsof its women’s heart disease program.

The Cardiac & Vascular Center at the University of Colorado Hospital isacclaimed as one of the top heart programsin the country by U.S. News & WorldReport. Its $50,000 grant from the AlphaPhi Foundation will make possible twomajor events in the Denver/Aurora, Colo.,area that will engage the community andincrease awareness and identification ofheart disease in women.

The Women’s Cardiovascular Center at UCH is focused on identifying genderdifference in the diagnosis and treatmentof cardiovascular disease. The center’sefforts to care for women’s hearts wonGood Housekeeping magazine’s designationas a top women’s heart program.

Dr. Judy Regensteiner formulated the vision for the women’s educational programs to be held in February and April2008 at the new 1.7 million square footcampus. Health screenings and hospitalprogram information will be provided, and heart health experts will teach aboutthe difference in heart disease symptomsbetween women and men.

“A woman’s symptoms are more difficult to recognize than a man’s,” saysDr. Regensteiner. “A woman might just feelbad, while a man would have distinct chestpain. Women are often seen by doctorslater in the process and, therefore, die morefrequently. We want to get the word out sothat women leave our events knowing whatto do next for their heart health.”

“Our partnership with Alpha Phi isabout more than just the grant,” says Dr. Regensteiner. “We hope the alumnaeand collegians will share this informationwith their families and friends so we canmultiply our reach with the educationalprograms and screenings we offer.”

Tracy McArthurSoik (Zeta Alpha-Eastern Illinois)always thoughtshe’d wait until she was older tobecome a donor.But when Founda-tion developmentofficer LaurenVandeveer (DeltaRho-Ball State)invited her to join Alpha Phi’s new Graduates ofthe Last Decade (GOLD) program last month,Tracy jumped at the opportunity.

“This is the first donation I’ve ever made –to any organization,” Tracy says. “When I wasworking, my first thought would have been, ‘Areyou kidding? I can’t give.’ At that time, it mademore sense to wait until I was older or furtheralong in my career,” she explains.

As she was on her way to meet withLauren, Tracy remembered a focus of Alpha Phi

Foundation’s mission is cardiac care, a causethat’s become extremely important to her.

Tracy had been married a little over twoyears when her husband Paul passed away atthe age of 36 from complications related toheart disease. They had two children; theyoungest was four months old.

“It was a complete shock. Now I’m doingeverything I can to help others not have to gothrough what I went through,” says Tracy.

“Raising awareness about cardiac care isvital. Heart disease can happen to anyone, andyou might have no idea you are at risk. When Ilearned about the Foundation’s efforts, I signedup for GOLD right then and there,” she explains.

Tracy has never seen herself as a philan-thropist. Now she thinks differently.

“Knowing what I know today, how could I walk away from the opportunity to be part ofAlpha Phi’s efforts to support women’s hearthealth?” she says.

Today, Tracy – a former high school teacher– is remarried and a stay-at-home mom with

four young children. And she now has a grow-ing passion to educate others about the risks ofheart disease. She stresses the importance oflearning your family history and talking to yourdoctor about heart health.

“It amazes me that people don’t know theyneed to ask their doctors to check their choles-terol and blood pressure on a regular basis. Fora young, active person, it’s easy to miss thesymptoms or attribute them to something else,like my husband did. Raising awareness aboutcardiac care is the first step,” says Tracy.

Giving to the Foundation is another way she can help.

“We have to get the word out, and everylittle bit helps,” she says. “The older I get, themore I realize how much time I’ve wasted notgiving back to the things that matter. If you’vegot a car and job, you can afford to give some-thing. Who knows, you might save the personnext door.”

Melissa Wagasy Moody (BetaBeta-Michigan State) was busycrunching numbers as a searchmarket analyst at a Detroit adver-

tising firm, working with Google,Yahoo and MSN, when a fund-raising class sparked new careeraspirations. With just one semesterleft in her public relations graduateprogram at Michigan StateUniversity, Missy jumped at theopportunity to join the Alpha PhiFoundation as its program coordi-nator.

Now Missy combines herpassion for Alpha Phi with herpublic relations and communica-tions background to help Alpha Phichapters and Foundation programssucceed. As program coordinator,Missy is responsible for Foundation

programs including scholarshipawards, Forget-Me-Not grants andCardiac Care Awards. She alsohelps collegiate and alumnaechapters plan outstanding philan-thropy fundraising events like RedDress Galas.

Missy says her favorite part ofthe job is fostering relationshipswith collegians and educatingchapters and individuals aboutphilanthropy and fundraising.

“Since the Foundation beganits Loyalty Circle, we’ve reallyfocused on educating collegiatewomen about the importance ofgiving back to Alpha Phi. I look for-

ward to building relationships withthese young women and helpingthem carry their Alpha Phi philan-thropy experience beyond college,”Missy says.

Taking the position with theFoundation means Missy worksfull-time at the Executive Officewhile commuting to East Lansingas she completes her master’sdegree coursework. She alsoserves as Michigan State’s (BetaBeta) chapter adviser, a positionshe’s held for the past two years.

From theArchives

It was in a time of war that Alpha Phi first focused its spirit of generosity in anorganized campaign. During World War I,Alpha Phi cancelled its 1918 Conventionand used the money allocated for the eventto support the YWCA in France and tolaunch an effort that would raise morethan $6,000 by 1920.

During World War II, Alpha Phiembarked on an even larger fundraisingeffort. Along with its war relief stampscampaign, the Fraternity mobilized sup-port for numerous causes, including theCanadian and American Red Cross, theChaplains Service Corps, the Blood DonorService and the National Nursing Council.

With the success of its wartime efforts,the need for Alpha Phi to adopt a “peace-time philanthropy” became clear. Presi-dent Marion Murphy Strader (Beta-Northwestern) issued a call for ideas frommembers, and in 1946, at its first postwarConvention in Quebec, Alpha Phi approved the adoption of “cardiac aid” asits official charitable cause. Collegiate andalumnae chapters were encouraged to raisemoney to support research, treatment andcare for cardiac patients, with a particularfocus on aiding children.

Adopting the slogan “Little HeartsNeed Big Hearts,” Alpha Phi raised morethan $5,000 in the first eight months,dividing the funds among three institu-tions: the Children’s Memorial Hospital ofLos Angeles, the Herrick House in Bartlett,Ill., and the Heart Hospital of the Uni-versity of Minnesota.

This early fundraising success quicklyled to the creation of the Alpha PhiCardiac Aid Foundation and the forma-tion of an advisory board. Through bothlocal chapter projects and InternationalFraternity-sponsored efforts, thisFoundation blossomed, and it soon became affiliated with 18 institutions in the field of cardiac aid.

By 1958, Margaret Ingwersen Carr(Iota-Wisconsin), Alpha Phi’s Internationalchair of philanthropy, observed that in the10 years since the project was started,Alpha Phi had served as a “force … infurthering the cause of cardiac research and doing so much to alleviate the suffer-ing of cardiovascular patients.”

The force of Alpha Phi’s official philan-thropy was soon widely recognized. In1964, the American Heart Associationhonored Alpha Phi as the single largestcontributor to its Heart Fund of anyfraternal organization. “Your public spirited approach is in the finestAmerican tradition,” stated Dr. John J. Sampson, president ofthe American Heart Association,“generating warmth and goodwillthat benefits the individual familyand the community as a whole.”

Such a major impact stemmedfrom surprisingly small projects.Alpha Phi’s creative and ever-evolving fundraising effortsincluded car washes, dances,lunches, “cardiac arrests” and ofcourse the sale of the famousheart lollipops. With each ofthese efforts the numbers grew,and by 1970, Alpha Phi reportedthat since 1946, it had raised$1,125,000 and logged more than 500,000hours in volunteer time.

Over the last 30 years, Alpha Phi’ssupport of heart health has continued toevolve. In 1969, the first of Alpha Phi’scardiac care grants (now the Alpha PhiFoundation Cardiac Care Award) wasawarded, and since then, more than 173institutions, including Johns Hopkins,New Children’s Hospital of BritishColumbia and the Cleveland Clinic, have

received funds. In 1976, the word “heart”replaced the term “cardiac aid,” and in1984, the Alpha Phi Foundation tookresponsibility of the grant program.Recognizing the lead role a women’sorganization could play in supportingresearch and education about the no. 1killer of women in North America, theFoundation turned its focus to makinggrants to women’s heart health projects.

Today, women’s heart health is a vital part of the Foundation’smission. At Convention 2004, theFoundation unveiled Alpha Phi’sown Red Dress Pin as an outwardsymbol for Alpha Phis everywhereto show their support of the move-ment. And in April 2006, AlphaPhi Foundation celebrated is 50thanniversary.

Red Dress Galas have nowreplaced lollipop sales, and collegiate and alumnae chaptersalike are raising thousands ofdollars annually to support theFoundation’s efforts.

Like Alpha Phi itself, this phil-anthropic effort is strongest due to

the pooling of the individual strengths ofits members. Together, Alpha Phi membershave made a tremendous difference incountless lives.

Making a Difference for Women: 60 Years of Heart Health

In 1947, Alpha Phi members host a Los Angeles Fiesta,raising $2,000 in a single day for cardiac aid. Pictured(from left) are Beta Delta members preparing for theevent: Barbara Helter, Mary Elizabeth CampbellWestcott, Marilyn Westcott and Nancy Blair.

Alpha Phi raises$156,000 in 1981 forcardiac aid projects.Ramiro Ramirez, age 5,underwent heart surgeryat the Children’s Hospitalof Santa Rosa MedicalCenter in San Antonioand was able to startkindergarten with a“heart as good as new.”Ramirez, the poster child

Extension Update

P A G E T W E N T Y - T W O A L P H A P H I Quarterly

O N C A M P U S

Alpha Phi’s extension program had a busy fall term, with twocolonizations and the first formal recruitment at Oklahoma(Phi). Below you will find highlights from these efforts.

University of Connecticut Alpha Phi held its initial recruitment period at Connecticut(Colony) Sept. 16-21. More than 100 women participated in theprocess, allowing the colony to establish a competitive foundationof membership. Special thanks to the area alumnae who attendedthe recruitment events and to the women of Rhode Island (IotaDelta) for their participation throughout the week.

During fall term, the women of the colony were able to partici-pate in Homecoming, sorority and fraternity philanthropy events,a new member education retreat and many other activities. Theyare also getting to know the established sororities on campus byinviting members of each sorority to colony meetings and partici-pating in events with each sorority.

The colony is supported by a local advisory board, led byChapter Adviser Courtney Czekanski (Gamma Nu-MiamiUniversity) and the following alumnae: Betsy Gultanoff (IotaIota-George Washington), Gretchen Sausville (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado), Jeannie Jones Mazzaferro (Beta Gamma-Colorado), Katie Price (Theta Tau- Rensselaer), Leah Loebach(Iota Zeta-Colorado School of Mines) and Maria Destefani (IotaDelta-Rhode Island).

Franklin & Marshall College Alpha Phi returned to Franklin & Marshall (Colony) in lateSeptember. Recruitment events were held Sept. 19-27. The inter-est in joining a new sorority was greater than anticipated, and thecolony is off to a great start! After their initial recruitment period,they immediately integrated themselves into the communitythrough participation in philanthropic events, socials andHomecoming.

The colony looks forward to participating in their first formalrecruitment in February. In preparation for this milestone event,the colony women participated in the Mid-Atlantic’s mockrecruitment event in November. At this event, they were able tolearn and practice skills vital to formal recruitment with womenfrom nearby chapters.

The recolonization at F&M would not have been possiblewithout the support of collegians from St. Joseph’s (Theta Theta)and Lafayette (Eta Tau) and the involvement of local alumnaeChristie Larochelle (Zeta Omicron-Johns Hopkins), Kati GreffLeet (Zeta Pi-Case Western Reserve), Kim Larsen Watson(Omicron-Missouri) and Lara Lewis (Zeta Sigma-Franklin &Marshall).

University of OklahomaOklahoma (Phi) chapter celebrated two monumental occasionsthis fall. In late July, chapter members moved into their facility forthe first time. Following a year of renovations, the updated facilityprovides our new members with wireless Internet, spa-like bath-rooms, custom bedroom furniture, a study lounge, a sound-proofed exercise room and conference room.

Members participated in their first formal recruitment Aug. 10-14, 2007. The chapter matched quota plus five additionsin this inaugural effort. Thank you to Alpha Phis from Colorado(Beta Gamma) and Oklahoma City (Delta Delta) for their par-ticipation, and much gratitude to the many alumnae who spentrecruitment week at the chapter house!

Alpha Phi is always looking for additional volunteers to support ourextension efforts! There are opportunities to work with colonies atUConn and F&M and our new chapter at Oklahoma. There are alsoother exciting extension volunteer roles to consider. If you are interest-ed in learning more about any of these, please contact Megan Bouché(Epsilon-Minnesota) at mbouche@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8926.

Alpha Phi’s Legacy Policy has changed. Our current policy has been in place for manyyears, and current cultural changes in recruitment made it necessary to review andrevise it. The policy now reads:

This new policy represents two changes. The first change affects campuses withmodified recruitments only. Chapters with modified recruitments often have only oneinvitational round of recruitment, typically preference. These chapters need the abilityto release legacies who do not meet the chapter’s membership criteria. This only affectsmodified recruitment style campuses.

If you are not sure if your legacy will be attending a campus with modified recruit-ment, please contact Program Manager of Consultants and Recruitment SupportGwendolyn Hill (Gamma Epsilon deuteron-Lake Forest) at ghill@alphaphi.org or847.316.8934.

The second change affects all members with legacies. Collegiate chapters are nolonger required to call members to let them know if a legacy has been released duringthe recruitment process.

This means that you should not expect to hear from the chapter regarding yourlegacy’s progress during recruitment. Technology and advanced computer programsmake the Panhellenic invitation process more efficient, leaving little time betweenmembership selection and a potential member’s receipt of her schedule for the next day. In many instances, a legacy knows about her invitations before a chapter can realis-tically contact her mother, grandmother or sister.

Alpha Phi believes in our tradition of legacies, and we encourage all chapters to affiliate legacies who meet membership criteria whenever possible. However, the num-ber of legacies grows each year, and many chapters can no longer accommodate everylegacy; sometimes a chapter will even have more legacies than quota.

Alpha Phi members with legacies participating in recruitment are reminded tosubmit paperwork prior to recruitment. Please contact the Executive Office if you need a legacy form or the address of any collegiate chapter.

Definition A legacy is any granddaughter,daughter, stepdaughter, sister or stepsister of an initiated Alpha Phimember.

Invitation All legacies will receive an invitationto the first invitational round ofrecruitment on campuses with morethan one invitational event.

Preference Any Alpha Phi legacy who acceptsAlpha Phi’s invitation to a preferenceparty must be placed on the chapter’sfirst bid list.

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE A GREAT ALPHA PHI?

Encourage her to register for recruitment. Formore information, including how to obtain a reference form, visit www.alphaphi.org.

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

Many are aware of the primary duty the Committee onLeadership (COL) is charged with each biennium – slating thenext International Executive Board (IEB) for the Fraternity. TheCOL puts forth great effort to recruit and encourage the applica-tion of our most experienced and talented women to serve on theboard. Many of you may not be aware of some of the behind-the-scenes work the committee does to ensure our process is fair, complete and inclusive.

This biennium the COL has been focused on providing a fairand equitable process for evaluating IEB candidates. Expandingupon and fine-tuning the process of previous COLs, this grouphas spent a great deal of time working on how we will evaluatecandidates fairly and thoroughly. There are many evaluation toolsfrom which information, comments, thoughts and opinions aregathered including the candidate application, candidate interview,the new 360 degree evaluation (to be completed by volunteerswho have worked with the candidates), external feedback from thegeneral membership and candidate references.

As you know, the COL also worked hard to develop the Skills,Attributes and Knowledge document that we will use to helpguide the evaluation of candidates. This document, which wasdeveloped with input from current and past IEB members andother International committee members, will continue to guidethe COL. In fact, every question asked in all of the above evalua-tion tools was formed in the hopes of understanding the skills,attributes and knowledge that each candidate will bring to theboard table. The COL will use this information to slate a boardbalanced in its skill set and ability to work as a cohesive group.

Understanding the governance model and what it means forAlpha Phi has also been an activity the COL has engaged in thisbiennium. Committee members have joined IEB calls and in-person meetings and spoken with International President LauraMalley-Schmitt (Zeta Phi-MIT) to better understand the currentmodel of governance.

Of course, getting the word out about the COL’s process is alsoa charge of the committee. The group has made efforts to attendmajor volunteer events, such as VIPhi, Rush U. and Foundationdonor events, with a goal of more than just informing the mem-bership of the nominations and slating process. The committeehas also been available to listen to the needs and desires of the cur-rent volunteer membership. Your opinions on what you’re lookingfor in an IEB and/or what you’d like the Fraternity to continue towork on has been invaluable to our process! The COL thanks youfor your input.

The COL has also made efforts to keep the membershipupdated on our process and progress by posting timely updates on Alpha Phi’s Web site. Please visit www.alphaphi.org/col to viewthe latest.

In the coming weeks and months, the COL will be engaged inour most tedious and challenging of tasks – evaluating candidatesand creating the slate for IEB elections. More specifically, thecommittee will be reading and reviewing candidate applications,calling references, conducting candidate phone interviews andgathering feedback from the membership in order to select thehighest quality of women to serve the Fraternity.

Those outstanding women who are being considered for the2008-10 International Executive Board are:

Jane Kirby Arkes (Omicron-Missouri)Bonnie Arthur (Delta Delta-Oklahoma City)Billie Coskey Battiato (Phi-Oklahoma)Deana Koonsman Gage (Gamma Iota-Texas Tech)Julie King Gomez (Gamma Xi-Wichita State)Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra (Delta Theta-Western Michigan)Jenny Holsman (Gamma Pi-Arizona State)Laura Malley-Schmitt (Zeta Phi-MIT)Sara Mayer (Delta Chi-William Woods)Tonya Sharp Ryan (Phi-Oklahoma)Jan Brinker Schaeffer (Beta Omicron-Bowling Green State)Susan Brink Sherratt (Beta Beta-Michigan State)Amy Jordan Tvrdik (Omicron- Missouri)Renee Smith Zimmerman Zainer (Beta Epsilon-Arizona)

The COL will meet in Evanston at the Executive Office March 7-9 to determine the slate, which will be announced on March 12. Elections of the board will take place at Con-vention 2008.

Please let the COL know about any questions you may haveregarding the process or any other concerns you may have.

Finally, the COL would like to thank the many of you whoparticipated in the nominations process. We have many wonderfulcandidates to consider!

Silent Chapter DID YOU KNOW?

You can make a gift to the Alpha Phi Foundation in honor of anew arrival, to celebrate a marriage or in memory of a sisterwho hasentered the Silent Chapter. Call 847.475.4532 or visit www.alphaphi.org/foundation for details.

Enclosed is an Alpha Phi pin that was givento me by Louise Trissler Cruikshank (BetaIota-West Virginia). She was already active formany years at the International level when I first met heras a collegian in the early 1970s. Coincidentally, our pathscrossed several years later when I landed my first job inWest Virginia and began attending the local First UnitedMethodist Church where I met Louise and her husband,Dwight. We gradually pieced together our history of meeting. Louise and Dwight were surrogate parents for my husband and me as we started our own family,and we remained in touch until they were too ill to communicate regularly.

Louise gave me her pin when I was working as anadviser with collegiate chapters in West Virginia andPennsylvania. Since her death a few years ago, I’ve beenmeaning to make sure it was returned safely to Alpha PhiInternational. I feel better knowing a pin worn by one ofthe most enthusiastic fraternity leaders I have ever met is now “home.” Louise was an advocate for women evenbefore it was fashionable to do so, but she carried thecause with dignity. She saw the link between Alpha Phigoals and objectives and how our collegians could applylifelong learnings from their experiences on campus totheir lives after school.

Thanks for receiving the pin with care and Alpha Phi love.

We encourage anyone with information about hazing activities in an Alpha Phi chapter to call the toll free number at1.888.NOT.HAZE (1.888.668.4293). Callers can remain anonymous,and all allegations will be investigated to the fullest extent. We hope our new and initiated members, parents and Greek Life professionalsfind this to be a helpful tool to eliminate hazing on our campuses. If you have any questions about the Hazing Hotline, please contactLindsay Martin (Beta Psi- San Jose State) at lmartin@alphaphi.org or 847.316.8943.
