This fell, join your sisters for an A O I l travel opportunity to Vail, Colorado. Nestled along Gore Creek in the Cascade Alpine Village, the Vail Cascade Hotel & Club offers 289 deluxe guest rooms including 28 suites featuring spa- cious accommodations, beautiful furnishings, luxurious amenities, and spectacular views o f the mountains for a truly memorable stay.
This four-diamond hotel offers full ski-in/ski- out accessibility with the Cascade chair lift just 10 feet from the hotel. But there is also more to enjoy in Vail than just skiing. Dine in one
of the charming cafes run by world-renowned chefs, shop in the elegant boutiques, browse art galleries along the European-style streets, and enjoy the countless array of night life activi- ties. These are a few of the reasons that guests visit Vail time and time again.

Space will be limited and available on a first come basis. For more information or to book reservations, contact Barry Hardy, VIP Travel and Assistance Services, 615-664-4428.

The Power of Frie
AOFI is Blooming in Winston-Salem! Congratulations to the Winston-Salem Area Alumnae Chapter which was installed on February 23, 1997. Executive Board Director/ Alumnae and Winston-Salem resi- dent, Debbie Harllee, was on hand to install the new chapter. Seventeen people attended the installa- tion and reception
which followed. The chapter had ten char- ter members and was first organized in October 1996. Monthly meetings with a wide vari-
ety o f activities are planned.
Helping Hands
The women of
Tau Chapter (U of Minnesota) and the men of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity paired
together to volun- teer for Habitat for Humanity. They spent a wonderful day helping a family in their community of Minneapolis/ St. Paul finish their house and work toward their dream.
Mock Baby Shower
In March, alum- nae from the Chicago West Suburban Chapter worked at the Care & Counseling Center in
Downers Grove, Illinois, to prepare baby layettes for new mothers. The center is a non- profit, social ser- vice agency dedi- cated to providing professional coun- seling, education and support to those experiencing crises or facing decisions related to pregnancy and its consequences.
Members held a mock baby shower at its March meeting giving baby items to the center as well as donating $150.
Peters, Zeta Kappa, regarding Pamela Jagger. It seems that Kristie and Pamela Jagger were char- ter members of Zeta Kappa, (Southwest Texas State U) before Pamela left school to pursue a career in danc- ing. That path has recendy led to her selec-
tion as one
of the new Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Be watching for Pamela on the Cowboy sidelines
next fall.
Dear Editor:
Life goes in amazing and wonderful circles. Thirty four years ago, Theta Omega was chartered at Northern Arizona University
with myself as one of the members. Our local sorority, despite continual "courting" by other national sororities, found AOFI to typify all that is good about sisterhood, tradition, and high standards. I married, moved away and had children. But the mountains drew us back to Flagstaff. I served as Theta Omega's chapter advis- er in the early seven- ties when my daugh- ters were very young, but job and family finally forced me to resign. College had been the girls' goal but not here at NAU in their own hometown. They each went else- where and my dream of AOn daughters dimmed. But as fate

NAU and pledged AOil. Now, I know my daughters will for- ever share with me
and with each other AOITs high ideals and principles. And I now have the pleasure and pride of having both my daughters as sisters inA O n .

Theta Beta Celebrates 10 years!
On October 26,
1996, past and pre- sent members of Theta Beta gathered for a weekend of fun and excitement in order to celebrate ten years of sisterhood on Towson State's cam- pus. The weekend included watching
the Homecoming football game and then returning to the Alumni House for a banquet, slide show and video. This get- together gave younger sisters a chance to meet the founding members of Theta Beta chapter and vice versa. The night was a great success and showed allofushowAO n has grown and blos- somed over the past ten years.
Dear Sisters:
I just finished brows- ing my newest issue of To Dragma and
once again I've got that "warm-fuzzy" feeling from being an AOn! Great job ladies! I especially enjoyed the article written by Anne Allison about Edith Anderson. Having had the joy of listen- ing to the engaging words of Mrs. Allison at our recent
Founders' Day Celebration, I can attest to her sincerity and enchanting story- telling ability. She is a pure gem!
Also in the recent issue, there was the fantastic announce- ments of our newest chapters at Northwestern State (Kappa Chi) and Northeastern State (Chi Theta). I feel compelled to send them a brief congratu- latory note wishing them the best of luck
in their future pur- suits! Could you pease send me their correct mailing addresses?
I would also like to say thank you so much for my recent award! I recently received notification of the Diamond Jubilee Scholarship for $1000.
This is a
much-need-
ed and
appreciated
award!
Financing
my college
education
has been
taxing, and
it is so nice to know that my Fraternity is so supportive of my efforts! Thank you all so much!
I look forward to receiving Kappa Chi and Chi Theta's
"snail-mail" addresses from you so that I can drop my panda notes in the mail! Thank you once again for not only your love and support, but another great issue of To Dragma! I love being an AOn!

time of the photo Kari and Lisa, a big sister/little sister match in college, were each expecting their first baby!
