' A O n is w o r t h b e i n g "

Several recent dramatic and emotionally challenging happenings in my AOFI life have
caused me to ponder very intensely on the basic principles of A O n and our purpose and
usefulness in existing. Different circumstances surrounded each situation - but each
involved setting the direction for a chapter and each involved the initiation and installa-
tion of young women who were charged with the responsibility of developing their
chapters of initiation.

We learn much about our Fraternity by reading the early history. The Founders and other early members of AOn searched with
great discrimination in the selection of new chapters. Each candidate group was carefully researched to ascertain if the women
in that group followed the same basic principles that currently existing AOFI espoused. While the origins of those candidate
groups were very diverse, specific criteria needed to be satisfied to gain recognition by AOFI.

The early members scrambled to keep up with their growing needs. While AOFI was still a teenager, the membership recog-
nized the needs society was imposing upon it. The early leaders of AOFI fretted about change within their organization, yet
they knew it had to happen in order for them to survive. We always point with pride to the fact that our ritual has never
changed. Our Founders had already experienced the needs of a constantly changing world, and built a foundation that sup-
ported change as well as a lasting bond. It is deliberate that the precepts observed have value for succeeding generations.

As we became further removed from the words and influence of the Founders - the foundation - we became cautious - con-
cerned that we might lose sight of the basic principles, the basic beliefs and needs that created us. I have felt, especially since
my recent experiences, a certain panic. I am quickly becoming an elder generation. My role in the leadership of the Fraterni-
ty, has been based on belief in those principles and in what I felt was a good understanding of the needs of the members. I have
carefully, never forgotten my "grass root" days and I remember, not only my generation of the late 50's, but the struggles with
the opinions of the college student and her needs in the mid-seventies. I recognize, as well, the needs of the student of the 90's.
I hope that I have helped to maintain that strong foundation for the next generations of AOFIs.

While panic may exist in my reflections of my experience, I am comforted by the tradition of high expectation that persists
above all. There are specific expectations for each chapter and each member and we need not look at current manuals and per-
formance standards to find them. Those expectations are the same now as they were in the early years when the Founders were
directly involved. They are stated in simple and straight-forward language in the Ritual.

Chapters and members have individual contributions to make and there is room for flexibility and diversity. However, we are
not an organization of fragments - of independent bodies. We are one. Therein lies our strength. As the old saying goes, our
chain is only as strong as its weakest link. All the parts working together create the whole. Any chapter or any sister that strays
from the mission creates a breach in our unity.

While our chapters are lent to us to nourish, they belong to AOFt. Our badges are lent to us for life, yet they belong to AOn.
What also belongs to AOFI, but is given to us forever, are our principles - our guide as long as we need them. We owe it to our-
selves to make usefulness of our purpose.

Let AOFI go beyond a comfortable relationship, a convenience for social experiences. Let it be an arena for the discovery of our-
selves - in works of charity, in personal achievement, in the stimulation of our minds. As contributing members of AOFI, we
also contribute to our personal world and to our greater world. Then each succeeding generation of AOFI will be well-taught
by example and will remain true to AOFI's principles. We give validity to AOFI and make it worth being.

Fraternally,

Mary McCammon Williams
International President

and work to build on those points for the
following year. Kimberly added, "They
are very professional in rush, and it all
comes so naturally"

This outstanding rushing chapter is locat-
ed at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana.
Kappa Kappa rushes 365 days a year, real-
izing that everything they do on campus
or in the community contributes to their
success during rush. Workshops are held
throughout the entire year, and a large
committee structure is utilized to involve
all members in the rushing process.

Lead by a strong rush adviser, they begin
each MS session by singing "Once More
United" to set the tone for the important
business at hand. Party themes are
designed to stress aspects of AOI1, such as
scholarship, philanthropy, finances and
sisterhood. A new skit this fall will focus
on BRIDGES.

This chapter believes each legacy is a gift.
This past fall they pledged 10 of 10 lega-
cies even though quota was only 19.

"The World is always conservative when
a question arises of changing the position of women."

So wrote Barnard alumna, Alice Duer Miller, American novelist, playwright, poet, in the history Above: 343 Madison Avenue, the first
of her alma mater. home of Barnard College. Below: The
Class of1898, including AOTI'sfounders.
In the United States, the mere suggestion of higher education for women was brushed aside
until the Nineteenth Century when the issue could no longer be ignored. At that time, established
colleges began admitting women students and progressive educators founded female seminaries.
By the early 1880s, when educational choices for women were available in many American cities,
no such opportunities existed in New York, the nations largest city and the location of Columbia
College. Columbia was no recent upstart; it had begun in 1754 as King's College by charter of
King George II. Classes were suspended in 1776 at the outbreak of the Revolutionary Way. The
school reopened in 1783 as Columbia College. Its steady growth necessitated its moving in 1857
to a larger campus at Madison Avenue Forty-ninth Street.

During the latter half of the Nineteenth Century, the proposal was made to educate women in
some manner connected with Columbia College. In the 1860's this idea was presented to
Columbia's Trustees whose reaction was antagonistic. However, Columbia's president, Frederick
Augustus Barnard, openly approved of women students having access to Columbia's resources.
Twelve years of careful work toward that goal was successful when the Trustees approved establish-
ing a women's college with entrance examinations identical to those of Columbia, courses to be
taught by Columbia faculty and satisfactory work resulting in a degree granted by Columbia
College. This women's college would have its own class buildings and be fully responsible for
financing the operation.

The new school was named Barnard College to honor President Barnard who never wavered in
his support to establish the school. Barnard College opened October 7, 1889 for admission of
women students to the freshman year only. Twenty women enrolled and of them, nine worked for
their degrees. The college was housed in one building, a rented four-story brownstone residence at
343 Madison Avenue. It provided space for administrative offices, class and study rooms, but no
dormitory nor boarding facilities. Living quarters in the basement were for a woman who was
housekeeper and overseer and, as well, served light lunches and snacks for the busy students. A
young man resided at thefrontdoor which was always kept locked.

Members of Barnard's first six classes had not been prepared by their secondary schools to pass
Barnard's rigid entrance examinations which tested their knowledge of modem languages, English
composition and literature, history, Latin and, most especially, Greek These first students needed
months of additional study which delayed their entering college until they were in their twenties.
These ladies were serious, dignified students well aware that they and their college were on trial.
With diligence and determination, they succeeded for themselves
and, as well, established Barnard's excellent academic reputation.

It was the autumn of 1894 when the Class of 1898 arrived
at Barnard to begin theirfreshmanyear. They had recendy
graduated from schools which had thoroughly prepared them
to meet Barnard's academic standards. Younger than their pre-
decessors, these girls were confident of themselves and eager to
experience everything college life offered. They were witty,
humorous, talented and, to a ladylike degree, daring! The

stamp of their high spirits marked this class from the

moment its members walked through the door at 343

Madison Avenue. They set about to organize their class.

No pastel color nor delicate flower were chosen as

emblems of Ninety Eight; for them the bright color,

scarlet, and the scarlet carnation. They were enthusiastic

members of literary and drama clubs, one of which per-

formed plays in French and German. Student govern-

ment, a new concept which Barnard embraced, was

grasped eagerly by the '98ers. Some of them were fasci-

nated with parliamentary procedure and all of them

argued with gusto! Though 343 did not provide a gym-

nasium, Barnardians dressed in gym clothes of the day

(navy blue serge pleated bloomers worn below the knee,

white blouses, black stockings and flat, rubber-soled

shoes) exercised at a nearby gymnasium.

Since 1892, Barnard's Trustees had known of Columbia's

plans to move their campus to Morningside Heights.

Barnard's successful affiliation with Columbia demanded it

move, too. Barely in operation for five years and struggling

to meet expenses, Barnard had no funds set aside for such a

venture. Amazingly, Trustees, faculty, undergraduates,

Barnard's nearly three hundred students were thrilled to move to the luxury of spacious, well

equipped buildings. To the activities and customs established at 343 Madison Avenue, Barnard stu-

dents added traditions at their new location with the lively Class of '98 leading the way.

Beginning in 1892, Barnard's junior classes had edited the yearbook, a dignified, serious publica-

tion. In the school year 1896-1897, the task fell to the Class of'98, and they tackled it with their

customary exuberance. They changed its name from The Barnard Annual to Mortarboard and

In the United States, transformed its staid format to one of wit and humor. Among the other innovations was the use of
the mere suggestion photographs for the first time and, with practical good sense, these juniors solicited advertisements
to help finance the publication. The pages of this 1897 edition of Mortarboard reveal the lively col-
lege days of the Class of'98. There were undergraduate clubs to satisfy many intetests — the Banjo

"VISIONS - AN EYE ON THE FUTURE"... NPC UPDATE

The Alumnae Panhellenic Committee, working with 289 chapters, announced that they offered over $200,000 in collegiate schol-
arships last year. The Alumnae Panhellenic promotes Adopt-A-School, established an Alumnae Panhellenic Award, and set guidelines
for using the Rush Information Form. Peg Crawford, Alpha Omicron Pi N P C Delegation, is a member of this committee.

The College Panhellenic Committee assigned 44 N P C delegation members as Area Advisers for over 600 campuses where College
Panhellenics are organized. N P C provides seven consulting team visits to campuses recommending changes and solutions to
Panhellenics. Barbara Hunt, N P C Delegate, serves as the Illinois and Manitoba Area Adviser.

The Rush 200 Committee has been charged with investigating rush programming throughout the country and Canada. They are
examining rush formats that differ from the traditional.

The Education Committee is offering videos and programs called "NPC Links" for all Panhellenics in the fall of 1995. "NPC
Links" includes a women's issues track (empowerment and self-esteem) and a Panhellenic track (NPC 101, P H spirit, and rush com-
munication). Panhellenics are encouraged to order this innovative programming for use during the year.

"Greek Solutions/Our Chapter, Our Choice" offers certified trainers who train students on the program and how to implement it
on their campus. I f you wish to be included, call the N P C Central Office for information.

The Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute (UIFI) is featuring 10 sessions this summer. Facilitators include those who serve as fra-
ternity and sorority national officers or staff members and campus Greek Advisers. Each five day session is complemented by small and
large group meetings. I f you are interested in attending, call N I C at (317)872-1112.

Your N P C Delegation will present a 50 minute workshop at Convention. We'll explore ways to more effectively work within your
Panhellenic and to promote Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity on your campus and in your community.

The 1995 N P C Conference will be held in St. Louis OCT. 5-8. Your N P C Delegation will be in attendance.

fellow-man, esp: effort to promote human welfare. 2: a charitable act or gift; also;
an organization that distributes or is supported by donated funds.

While total contributions to the AOTT Foundation are steadily rising our Alumnae and Collegiate Chapter
gifts have been declining over the past two years, particularly donations to the Arthritis Research Fund.

Many of our chapters still reap success from either tried and true events or from new and innovative ideas.

Chapters are most successful when they pour excellent creativity and enthusiasm into their plans.
While it would be impossible to highlight each chapter we have selected a few to salute. Many of these
projects are being executed by more than one of our chapters to varying degrees. Some of these
chapters raise large sums of money and others less, but all take philanthropy to heart.

Collegiate Chapter Projects 1

additional funds for their "Hoop-It" Tournament
Gamma Delta - (U. of S. Alabama) held a "Sing-Off for Arthritis" for the first time this year

and raised more money than ever before for philanthropy. Sororities and fraternities paid a fee to
enter the competition. Each group was given 20 words and 30 minutes to create a song using all
20 words. Winners were judged on creativity, enthusiasm and participation. The feedback from
the participants was great, and they can build on this excitement for next year

Zeta - (U. of Nebraska) holds a single elimination men's basketball tournament, "Hoop-It," each

year Funds are raised f r o m team entry fees (41 teams entered this year) and from each chapter
member being responsible for acquiring a $20 sponsor Corporate sponsorships are solicited, and
a raffle is also held t o raise additional funds. PR efforts include campus billboards, newspaper ads,
flyers, posters, banners and PSAs on local radio stations. Committee emphasis is great, with the
members receiving bonus points for completing their monthly assigned duties. W i t h 41 partici-
pating teams, there is a lot of waiting around, so the chapter also offers a slam dunk contest for
interested contestants.

Alumnae Chapter Projects

Atlanta - This chapter's approach to philanthropy and fund-raising requires year round planning. Eight or more events each year fund the

chapter's AOTT philanthropic donations, local Atlanta charity donations and support t o four area collegiate chapters. Events over the past t w o

years include: members volunteering at the Senior PGA Gold

& mm Tournament, an annual fall cheese sale, participation in Hand's On
Atlanta Day, hosting f o r a local Christmas House and the

Decorator Show House, collection of toys at their Christmas lun-

cheon and participation in the Arthritis Foundation's t w o local

events - the Mini Grand Prix and the Jingle Bell Run. Money

raised from these events allowed the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter

to contribute $ 1,500 to the AOTT Foundation this past year

form in the fall Newsletter; they reach those that do not regularly attend meetings, but are still anxious t o help the chapter Other fund-raisers
include a "Make-it-Bake-it-Grow-it-Sew-it" Sale and an annual Holiday Auction held in November Their biggest undertaking o f all is a Spring
Luncheon and Fashion Show that now includes a Silent Auction. In years past, they would offer door prizes, so they have just expanded on this
idea and now auction those items and others off t o the attendees. The first year auction raised $900. Another easy way t o raise money is to
offer three levels of membership. The Regular Member pays $23, a Sustaining Member pays $30, and a Patron pays $50. The money in excess
automatically goes t o the Foundation. Proceeds raised from their other events are divided between the AOTT Foundation and the local
Arthritis Research Center at Indiana University.

West Los Angeles - A Phantom Tea is the major fund-raiser for this three year old chapter Charming invitations are mailed out contain-

ing "Ruby Mist" tea bags (which are donated) asking members t o join them f o r a tea - at their convenience. A donation o f $5.00 or more is
politely requested, and it is noted that they may make the donation in honor o f or in memory of a sister This listing is printed in their semi-
annual newsletter and helps increase donations. The chapter currently has 36 dues paying members, but still manages to raise between $800-
$ 1, 100 each year for the Foundation. A biannual White Elephant Auction has been another easy fund-raiser Each member brings an unwant-
ed item lying around her home t o a meeting f o r a silent auction. The $400 raised last year t o support a local women's shelter proves that one
person's trash is, indeed, another's treasure.

Omicron (U. ofTennessee), the Knoxville Alumnae Chapter
and the Omicron Mothers Club combine efforts
to coordinate their Annual Barbecue

To these three groups, philanthropy is much more than raising money for a good cause. This fall, the Omicron collegiate and Knoxville alumnae chap-
ters, along with the Omicron Mother's Club, will host the 35th Annual AOTT Barbecue. All three groups sell tickets for the event and gather by
Neyland Stadium to handle the coke and barbecue booths. After the barbecue, everyone heads to the game to cheer for the Vols.

Amy Cathey an alumna and previous barbecue chairman, says that this philanthropy stands out for several reasons. "We always have an excellent turn
out and support from our collegians, alumnae and mother's club, and the barbecue is a fun social event to attend before a football game. Everyone
knows about the AOTT barbecue, and you always see lots of people you wouldn't see otherwise," says Amy. She added, "There's always a big Greek
turnout for the barbecue, which says a lot because you have non-AOTTs supporting an important cause and having fun."

Sally Sprott, the collegiate assistant philanthropic chairman, says unrting the three AOTT groups is very important to the success of the barbecue.

"Working with the alumnae and the Mother's club gives all the collegians a chance to know many of the women who are the backbone of our sorority.

It reminds us of the real meaning of AOTf" says Sprott.

Barbecue proved to be yet
another success.

hairdresser, Jose Eber, saw in Julie a resemblance to Jessica Lange. In all, four
women were selected to represent the four Oscar nominees: Lange, Genna
Davis, Winona Ryder and Uma Thurman for a show saluting the Academy
Awards that were taking place later that evening.

Julie was shocked over her selection, because, " I never saw it. No one has
ever t o l d me I resembled Jessica Lange, w h o m I have long admired.
Normally I have long, dark hair, but now it's short and blond."

The make-over took an entire day, and she was treated like a star during the i
trip to Hollywood for the taping. During the show, she was dressed in a
$900 black suit from the Robert Ellis Design Studio and wore $700,000 in
pave diamonds from Van Cleef & Arpels (on loan, of course)!

Because her new appearance has made such a drastic change in
her life, rhe show invited het back fot a follow-up appearance in
May to discuss it. She says she'll keep her new look for awhile.

Julie is the mothet of two daughters, Lauren Claire, 4, and Bianca before photo

From Our Readers...

Dear Editor:

I was hoping this article and picture could be published in To Dragma since
it was such a special event:

The sisters o f Tau Lambda at Shippensburg University i n Pennsylvania
received a tempting invitation to visit our sisters o f Gamma C h i at Carleton
University in Ottawa, Canada, during our Spring Break. We were so excited
by the invitation that we jumped at the chance to go.

Aftet an eight hout cat ride, thirteen o f us arrived in the beautiful capitol
d r y o f Ottawa and received a warm welcome f r o m our sisters. The days flew
by as out wonderful hostesses took us on tours around the city, cooked us big
spaghetti dinnets, and showed us the Ottawa night life.

We shared A O n songs, rush ideas, and sisterhood activities, and we all
learned a great deal f r o m each other. The experience was invaluable and the
sisters of Tau Lambda would like ro thank Jackie O'Flanagan and all o f our sis-
ters o f Gamma C h i f o r a w o n d e r f u l visit. We hope to see y o u here i n
Shippensburg very soon!

"Certainly people who think they have some type o f arthritis need to seek treat-
ment as eatly as possible. But physicians also must strive to intervene quickly, partic-
ularly in rheumatoid atthritis, i f we are to make a substantial impact. Sometimes, we
may need to rely on our clinical judgement when initial tests are inconclusive," said
Arthut Grayzel, M . D . , medical advisor to the Arthritis Foundation.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, patt o f the diagnosis problem is that unlike
osteoarthritis, which is characterized by easily recognized symptoms, I^A is more diffi-
cult to confirm. N o t everyone initially shows positive results on the major tests used
to help make a diagnosis. The Arthritis Foundation recommends that people know
the early signs o f arthritis, which include lingering joint pain, stiffness and limited
movement, and seek immediate medical treatment i f they occur.
