a message from our President
The courage to dream...
Our Centennial Celebration was a wonderful week of renewed sisterhood between old and new friends. From the first night when we blew out 100 candles to the breath takingly beautiful Rose Banquet, everything was rxrfectly planned and exciting. Many tears were shed as we all realized we were at a once in a lifetime event. Our sincere thanks to the Centennial Committee for all the long hours of planning and preparation that went into making convention memorable. It was a wonderful celebration of our past, but we must now embark on the next century of Alpha Omicron Pi - just think what we can accomplish
in another 100 years. With the increasing accelerated pace ofchange in the world, there is no doubt that the next 100 years holds the potential for our organization to accomplish things that are truly magnificent... anything and everything is possible.
The following is a brief synopsis of the speech I gave at con- vention this summer. It shares my hopes and dreams for AOFI as we enter our second century. My sincere thanks to Mariellen Sasseen, Melanie Doyle and Jeff Bradford of Bill Hudson and Associates for their help in the preparation of the presentation at convention.
"Welcome to the next century of Alpha Omicron Pi! Thanks to the vision of many remarkable women, AOn has already had a wonderful 100 years. Now is the time to focus on our next century and to envision a future even more glorious than our past.
We are on the threshold of a whole new world of opportunities. Thefirststep is opening our eyes, our minds and our hearts to the limitless possibilities that lie before us. We must begin today to form the vision for the next century. In order to make our vision a reality, we must commit tofourimportant actions:
L WorkTogether Each of us should agree to work together and to share our ideas. Our strength lies in this diversity of ideas embraced by a unity ofpurpose.
T e a m w o r k is e s s e n t i a l t o o u r o r g a n i z a t i o n .
2. Communication: We must open the lines of communication. We need to listen to each others great ideas. The Fraternity must also communicate with you, both verbally and through our advanced technology and written publications.
3. Take Action: We must take action TODAY - not next week, next month or next year. We can accomplish things that others think are impossible.
4. Accountability: We must be held accountable for our actions. Each member of AOn must be willing to accept responsibility to conduct herself in a manner, which will contribute to the good of the entire fraternity.
We must also have the courage to dream and to dream BIG. Without dreaming and planning for the future, without thinking about how things could be better, we wont grow... and we won't be able to meet the challenges of the future. Our collegiate and alumnae are full of energy and great ideas. Both have much to contribute. By working together, we can make our dreams come true. It is important that we take the next steps required to set our dreams into action.
1. We need to honestly evaluate where we are now - understanding both the positives and the negatives of our fraternity today.
2. We must ask fundamental questions - such as what are our strengths? What sets us apart? What makes us special on our campuses and in our communities? What are our weaknesses?
It is only by answering these important questions that we can identify the key issues we will address on our journey into the next century.
To review, we need to work together, communicate, follow through and remain accountable. All of these actions are related. If we share our dreams and commit today to carrying them out, AOn will remain a continuing source of pride.
Every member has a responsibility to insure the future of Alpha Omicron Pi. You have my commitment, now I ask for yours. I challenge each of you to join me... as our NEXT CENTURY BEGINS TODAY!

Jessie Wallace Jiugfian
Jessie Hughan, distinguished teacher and writer, will remain best known as a gallant crusader for peace and humane conditions. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa, she entered a long and varied teaching career. She became known professionally for her outstanding success as a Principal of the academic department of the Boys' Textile High School in New York City. She next did notable work as a head of one of the most difficult "problem" high schools for girls. Her treatise, "Studies in Personality for High Schools," is known for its
insight Miss Hughan was nominated for various political offices, including Secretary of State for New York, as a result of her professional status as an educator. She ran for public office in the state of New York on the socialist ticket on two occasions. Not because she thought she could win, but rather because she ardently
believed in what the party stood for and wanted to spread the word.
JielenSt. ClairMullan
After graduating from Barnard with Phi Beta Kappa honors, Helen St Clair went on to graduate first in a class of some 300 from New York University Law School Herfirstjob was with the Legal Aid Society. Next she entered the firm of Mullan, Cobb and Mitchell. Judge Cobb achieved the bench; George Vincent Mullan (Helen's husband) rose to the New York State Supreme Court; John Mitchell became Mayor of New York. All three expressed indebtedness to her.
Helen also served on and presided over important New York City committees. She was the mother of two daughters making her the only Founder to have children. In that role, she was prominent in Scouting and other youth movements.
Stella ^eorge Stern ^Perry
Alter graduation. Stella Stern went into advertising. Sin- started at John Wanamaker, a department store, and Ijfc later wrote ads for Altaian's and other New York stores. Eventually, she had her own advertising agency, han-
tiling both local and national accounts. Following her interest in public service, Stella held national and "tali- offices in child labor groups, welfare and relief organizations. \t the request of Governor Wood row Wilson of New Jersey, she served as volunteer N.J. Inspector of Labor for Women and Children and argued
their cases before legislative committees.

Stella was the first president of Alpha chapter and the first National President of Alpha Omicron Pi (1898-1905). She was a
constant contributor to To Dragma and was elected historian of AOLI for life.
TLlimbetfi Jieywood Wyman
For 17 years after graduation Bess taught German and English in the Bloomfield (NJ.) High School. Her reorgani- zation of the English Department and her stimulating methods were factors in her becoming one of the first two women to be appointed to the Board of Education. She was also active in the A.A.U.W. and in 1933, won first prize in its national essay contest on the subject of fellowship. Her other interests were the Bloomfield Community House Red Cross and her church.
Bess was thirteenth National President of Alpha Omicron Pi. Her administration covered the difficult depression years of 1929-1931. She strengthened and unified us and pioneered in expansion into Canada. For the five years before her presidency, Bess served as AOLTs first registrar. She established the Central Office procedures in that capacity. She was also a lifetime honorary President of the New Jersey Alumnae Chapter.
Stella married George Hough Perry in 1906. When lie became a director ol (he 1915 Exposition in San Francisco, they moved to California. Mrs. Perry served on the Women's Board of the Exposition and contin- ued her work for child labor and welfare organizations. She started doing editorial work and writing for periodi- cals not many years after graduation. Her husband encouraged her to continue to write. Eventually she had 17 books published as well as scenarios, pageants, magazine articles, poems and stories. Barbara of Telegraph Hill is one of her

In the old Columbia College Library, a beautiful, rambling delightfully
collegiate place, was a little gallery up a stair, back of the door. Here
were the tables detailed to the erudite who were working for
their doctorates, a quiet, monastic, little gallery para-
doxically tempting to the friv- olous. From this rose another
little stair which nobody
ever used. It led to the shelves, in an oldgreyroom, amid oldgrey mullioned
Gothic windows, where the ancient tomesand old man- uscripts, theparchments and vellums, were kept, bound
in smooth grey covers like soiled marble. Through the
little windows, streams of sun- light, softened and dusty, fell
gently to the oldgrey floor. Under these windows were broad windowseats. In one of these, on a
wintery afternoon, when the snow was piled high against the pane and
the old glass rattled in the wind, in the lovely pale-ruddy sunset light, the Founders pledged each other.

The Pledge Day ofthe Founders was December23, 1896. OnJanuary2,
1897, Alpha Omicron Pi wasformally organized at the home ofHelen St. Clair, allfour Founders beingpresent. The con- stitution in its earliestform was made and accepted, the objects ofthefraternitywere discussed and received, the ritual completed and read by each and all. Theform ofthe badge was agreed upon with the gravity thatcamefromthedetermination, then expressed, that it should be Alpha Omicron Pi's only symbol in the world.
Previous page: The o l d Columbia Library Left Up these narrow stairs and through the small doorway lies the small room where the Founders' pledged each other one wintery December day.
January 2 was officially recognized as
the Founders' Day and was so celebrated annually, until it wasfound to be increasingly inconvenient to hold
festivities on that date. It fell in the Christmas holidays orjust afterwards. Students had not returnedfrom their vacations or werejust returning.
Alumnae werealreadyoverwhelmed
with thefestivities and duties of the holiday season. Everybody was tired. Therefore, at the convention (1912)
it was decided to change the official Founders' Day to December 8, this
being a day generally convenient and the birthday ofone of the Founders (Stella's).
Barnard College received the new infant fraternity kindly and Kappa Kappa
Gamma extended a friendly welcome.
Within a week the Initiation Ritual was usedfor thefirst time, Anne Richardson Hall '98 becoming the first initiate of the fraternity and entering into its spirit with ardor and devotion.
As was to be expected, there was timidity, at first, among the students, as to aligning themselves permanently with a new and untriedfraternity. But the earnestness of the group soon made itself felt and in the
To Dragma/FALL 1997
end little difficulty was met in securing the members desired. It was not long before the first chapter, Alpha, Barnard College, wasflourishing and happy.
It took a prominent place in the social
life of the college and exercised good judgment, as it met with good fortune, insecuringprominent andunderclass-
men and a post-graduate student of dis- tinction.
1898, the year of the Founders' seniority at Barnard, was an important year in the history of the college and of the uni- versity. For then Columbia moved from its beautiful but overcrowded old monastic buildings, and Barnard moved
from its unbeautiful and overcrowded makeshifts — dear, nevertheless to the memories of many — uptown to the pre- sent more stately mansions, the serene and impressive halls on the hill beside the Hudson.
Here the chapter had a room with its sign on the door and a successfulyear. Of course, mistakes were made, even weakness in the support of the highest ideals; but, on the whole, the chapter stood the test of prosperity and growth,
justified itsearnestnessofpurposeandits right to be the mother chapter ofa fra- ternity devoted to potent idealisms.
Those words were Stellas, magnificently written in 1923 to commemorate our Fraternity's Silver Anniversary. She served as Grand Historian at the time. There was much pride in our young Fraternity, just as that pride still lives
on today. On December 8, 1996,
one hundred years and over 100,000 initiated members later, we came together to celebrate our heritage and to kick-off our Centennial Celebtation.
The Mother Chapter, Alpha, is now gone due to the unfortunate banishment of all fraternities from Barnard College in 1913. The obstacles and issues facing women today have changed drastically, and

the opportunities now available for women would have left our Founders speechless.
Yet, through all the years, through all the changes in the world, the princi- ples on which Alpha Omicron Pi was founded have remained unchanged.
In her historical perspective, Stella asked herself the question, "Why did (we) organize Alpha Omicron Pi rather than take membership in an already established society, surely
the easier way.' Her answer...

Partly because the Class of'98 believed in its own inspirations, loved to initiate. Partly because thesefour cared so pro- foundly for one another that they uncon- sciously desired a society based upon originalfeeling, something peculiar to that deep friendship, something more earnest than a mere social decoration.
In facing this great enterprise with the audacity ofyouth, they may have felt that as Love never faileth, a future on that foundation was assured.
But there were also other reasons.
Since the days of which we write there has come into the world at large and therefore into the college world and therefore again, into the Hellenic world, an impulse of democracy. The entire social outlook in our colleges is better now, though it may still leave much to beimproved. Atanyratethesnobbish- ness, poor sportsmanship, political

intrigue, extravagance, and other faults that are sometimes charged today — gen- erallyfalsely — against men's and women's collegefraternities were then
frequently true. At least the Founders had met many college men and women who belonged to these groups and had a certain exclusiveness, a childish pre- sumption of superiority, certain distinc- tions based upon so-called social stand- ing, upon race or religion, upon materi- alpossessions, or other mere externals of life. The Founders ofAlpha Omicron
Pi were afraid of entrusting a bond as precious as their affection to any chance of misrepresentation. Theyfelt that bond to be in itself too great to become absorbed in anything less or less potent, than itself. They wanted to perpetuate that beautiful something that bound the members of the Class of'98; it was the desire that this particular loyalty that motivated them should endure, should bind, and inspire others.
And endure it has. On December 8, 1996, all alumnae and collegiate chap- tets of Alpha Omicron Pi kicked off our Centennial year in grand style. Most chapters joined with other chap-
ters in their area to celebrate in a myr- iad of ways. Brunches, luncheons, teas and dinners were held in banquet halls, chapter houses, restaurants, country clubs, and members homes. The personality and style of each chapter was reflected in the manner in which they chose to commemorate this special day.

On this occasion, each chapter took
the opportunity to present a gift to the local university or community in honor of our Centennial. Additionally, each collegiate chapter unveiled the banner her president would later carry in the Centennial Convention opening banquet processional. Likewise, alumnae chapters presented a copy
of their quilt square that was being sewn into the enormous Centennial Commemorative Quilt, also displayed at the opening banquet.
It was, indeed, the start of a memorable year...

Melanie Nixon Doyle, Executive Director.Ann MoOanahan Gilchrist International President Nancy Anderson Oark, Centennial Celebration Committee Chairman, and Colleen Lynn Cdban,Archwes and CentennialAdministrator were on hand to formally dedicate the time capsule
Dedicating a Time Capsule
On Founders' Day, December 8, 1996, the Fraternity buried a time capsule beneath the A O n stone in the center of the Founders' Circle of the Centennial memorial walkway. The walkway is located at Alpha Omicron Pi's International Headquarters in Brentwood, Tennessee. The capsule contains items chosen to reflect the accomplish- ments, dreams and ideals of our Fraternity during its first century and is intended to give future generations a glimpse of the Fraternity's history. Presiding over the dedication were International President, Ann Gilchrist, and Centennial Celebration Committee Chairman, Nancy Clark. The capsule will be permanently sealed with the final addition of a copy of this issue of To Dragma.
The contents of the time capsule include: Celebrate the Century Centennial History Book • Centennial Commemorative Program Book • AOn Membership Badge • Membership Roll of AOFI • Centennial Year In Review issue of To Dragma, Fall 1997 • Memorabilia from dedication of AOIl International Headquarters • Memorabilia from Inspiration Walkway/Founders' Circle dedication • Alpha Omicron Pi Centennial logo and Centennial stationery • Congratulatory letters from other NPC/NIC groups • Centennial Convention favors and memorabilia • AOFI and Foundation Mission Statements • AOn Constitution and Bylaws, 1897 and 1997 versions • Picture of the four Founders • Front page of December 8, 1996 New York Times, Tennessean, and The Review Appeal.

It was no small undertaking! Almost 400 boxes filled with supplies, awards, displays, programs, and Emporium Merchandise were packed and shipped from Nashville to New York. Local convention chairmen, local vol- unteers, area cooidinators, the Centennial Committee, the Executive Board, Network Directors and Specialists, and Headquarters Staffcontributed countless hours towards the successful outcome. Early on opening day, the Centennial Production Rehearsal got underway, and the Birthday Celebration Committee & local volunteers began decorat- ing for the grandest celebration banquet in AOFI history.
Most AOIls and their guests participated in one of the Barnard/Manhattan tours. Each whirlwind tour left the hotel by bus and took in some of the exciting sites of
Manhattan and the locations where AOITs early history took place, including Milbanks Hall, home of Alpha Chapters first chapter room.
Thefirstevents of the evening were the Collegiate Chapter Reunions. All 173 reunions were held simultaneously throughout the hotel. Refreshment tables were ser up for each chapters gathering and many AOFIs brought along scrapbooks, photo albums, and college memorabilia to share with sisters of other eras. It was exciting to witness such a seamless gap between collegians and alumnae.
Chapter reunions provided sisters an opportunity to reminisce with old friends and make new ones of all ages.

A processional was led by the Past International Presidents,followedby a proces- sional of the 1995-97 Executive Board. Then came the impressive Banner Processional for all chartered Collegiate Chapters. The banner bearers were elegantly dressed in black cocktail dresses, and carried banners hand crafted by members of their respective chapters. For the remainder of Convention, the banners were hung on display from the balcony surround- ing the banquet hall. Coundess hours of work at the hands of hundreds of people went into making this moment a memorable one.

Next came the unveiling of the alumnae quilt. Ninety-five of our alumnae chapters created squares that were sewn into a quilt. The 9' x 20' work was a labor of love and will be displayed at Headquarters as a remem- brance of this occasion.
The audience was charmed by Past International President, Nancy Moyer McCain, who delivered a moving speech, bringing each of the Founders to life. Nan serves AOFI as International Historian and her love for AOFI was evident in every word spoken.
Next came the dessert, appropriately, an enor- mous four-tiered birthday cake. As it was rolled down the center aisle, everyone joined in the singing of a lively rendition of Happy Birthday AOR Confetti cannons shot off from all sides of the room raining confetti everywhere. Applause, excitement, laughter, tears and goosebumps filled the room. Centennial Chairman, Nancy Clark, had the honor of cutting the cake.

The evening ended with the all convention photo. A panorama photo was taken to be more in keeping with the tradirion of A O n conventions during the first half of the century when panorama cameras were readily available.
Saturday morning got underway with Ritual Rehearsal, Robing, and then Opening Ritual for the Convention. AOITs beautiful Ritual is even more impressive at an International Convention, and the morning's event was particularly awesome.

While Ritual was being conducted for AOFI delegates and non-delegates, an enjoyable and entertaining session was held for non- AOris and AOn special guests.
After Ritual, delegates and non-
delegates went straight to Credentials Check for the Opening Business Session in order to witness AOFI democracy in action.
For many, the afternoon wasfreefor optional tours, site-seeing, or relaxing with friends. Nearly 200 AOFIs embarked on the Ellis Island Tour to view the newly renovated immigrant landmark and to get a closer look at the Statue of Liberty.

A few receptions were held during the after- noon, most notably being the Foundations Second Century Society/Decade of Endowment Reception, and the Scholarship Recipients/Donors Reception. The Past International Presidents graciously made themselves available for an autograph
session outside the Broadway Ballroom just before dinner. The new AOil History Books were also available for signaturesfrom those who had major roles in the production ofthis historical manuscript.
That evening, the doors opened for "Celebrate the Heritage of ACTI," the Streets of New York Theme Dinner. Everyone was asked to dress as they would have in college, and that made for fun and laughter. A O n Foundation President, Rosalie Barber, wearing a poodle skirt, served as Toastmistress for this banquet.

The "Street's of New York" banquet fea- tured a unique "Lady liberty" and great clothing styles reminis- cent of each members college days.
Dinner was served buffet style with decora- tions set for a New York Street Festival. Delicious food selections highlighted Little Italy, a New York Deli, Chinatown and Fulton Fish Market.
Following dinner, Rosalie Barber presented The Foundation Awards and Foundation Board member, Jean Sells, presented the Arthritis Research Grants and Educational Grants. Barbara Hunt, Foundation Board member also spoke on the success of the Decade of Endowment.
The evenings next event was one that everyone had been anticipating with great excitement. The Centennial Production, "AOFI - The
First 100 Years" was a lively, entertaining and fabulous musical tribute to the Fraternity's his- tory, decade by decade. There was singing, dancing, narration, and so much more. Many people and coundess hours were put into the culmination of this event which was received with great enthusiasm.
The Centennial
took a look at the last cen- tury decade by decade, fea- turing music, styles and
A On memories. Styles of the 1960's are modeled at left, and Nancy Moyer McCain, above, teaches everyone 'The AOU

Dozens of talented collegians and alumnae joined Past International Presidents in partici- pating. Just two of the coundess highlights included 93-year old Jessie Lamed dancing die Charleston; and Peg Crawford joining Centennial Production Chairman, Joyce Srrout, in a crowd pleasing salute to the Blues Brothers.
Events got off to an early start on Sunday morning with the "Celebrate the Century of Achievement and Leadership" Awards
Presentation. Executive Board Directors, Mary Bryant and Carole Jones were Toastmistresses for this event that recognized many of the award recipients.
During this session the traditional Past International Ptesident Story Telling session was held, in which each PIP reminisced about a memorable highlight during her tenure as president. This is often one of the favorite memories of convention.

Barbara Hunt then made the presentation of several hundred adorable pandas to representa- tives from the St. Marys Foundation for Children and the Children's Aid Society. Both agencies were extremely grateful and touched by this gesture of good will and kindness from members and chapters.
The closing business session was the main event of the afternoon. Among other notable business items, the session included the elec- tion of the new International Executive Board and Foundation Board who were all installed during the afternoon's Closing Ritual session.

To Dragma/FALL 1997
*
A hilarious PIP skit was presented during the brunch to welcome the newest member, A n n Gilchrist, into the PIP ranks.
Applause and screams rilled the room as the announcement was made for the site of the
1999 International Convention - at the new Coronado Springs Resort, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. Mickey Mouse made a personal appearance to pose for photographs and to invite everyone to visit him in 1999.
Linda Collier, International President, delivered the closing presentation. "AOI1: The Next Century Begins Today" was an inspirational look ahead to the next century of the fraternity. Linda wove an articulate and moving speech through a multi-media presentation set to music and slides. She set the tone by forming the vision for the next century. She reminded everyone that by beginning today, you can accomplish things that others think are impossible, and its O K to DREAM, and DREAM BIG!

It was a grand week, representative of a grand century. As the luggage reappeared once again in the lobby and AOIls filled the airport shut- des to catch return flights, one couldn't help but notice all the hugs being exchanged.
Despite all the events, which were magnifi- cent, the most important outcome had really been the tenewing of friendships and the cele- bration of sisterhood. If for no other reasons than that, it was a convention to remember for a lifetime.

This Centennial Convention year has certainly been a wonderful celebration of 100 years of sisterhood. The Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation made the event even more special by presenting 100 Centennial Scholarships to our deserving sisters. The result of this program has been an increased interest in scholarships by both applicants and donors. Individual sisters, chap- ters, and friends of AOFI showed their commitment to the importance of scholastic achievement by pledging $1000 or more to provide this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to AOFIs at every stage in educational experience. The Foundation Board of Directors and Scholarship Selection Committee are pleased to award 100 scholarships to these exceptional women and gratefully thanks those whose donations made this program possible.
