Memorial gifts to our Ruby Fund are a true expres- sion of sympathy and caring to those left behind. We were all saddened to learn that little Jonathan Leibring had lost his valiant battle against cancer lastyear. His memory lives on in the Heart of AOII.

Dr. White with a young patient.
In 1985 The Alpha Omicron Pi Phil- anthropic Foundation supported D r . Patience White, [Director of the Compre- hensive Pediatric Rheumatology Center (CPRC), with a grant to provide more accessible and comprehensive care for children with connective tissue diseases. The CPRC is located at Children's Hospital National Medical Center in W ashington, D.C. and serves as the regional referral center for children with arthritis in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The objectives of the Center are: 1) to provide better service to children and their families in our region; 2) to provide educational presentations to increase awareness of Juvenile Arthritis among professionals, the public and families and 3) to develop and collect a computer- ized database about the needs and costs of care for these children.
To provide comprehensive care, the CPRC has a core team consisting of a pediatric rheumatologist, nurse clinician, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, psychologist and nutritionist. This core team sees children with arthritis in the D.C. area and serves as consultants to the core teams located at the cooperating clinics. A major problem for families of children with rheumatic diseases is knowing where to turn for help. With financial support from the Alpha Omicron Pi Philanthropic Foundation, the CPRC put together a regional resource directory with information on national arthritis organizations, medical services, social services, physical and occupational therapy and school programs, vocational rehabilitation, recreational and financial resources.
To make comprehensive care available to more arthritic children, the
CPRC developed a system of cooperating clinics in areas where comprehensive pediatric rheumatology services were not available. In collaboration with local medical schools and the federally funded Crippled Children Services, clinics were set up in Morgantown, Charleston and Beckley, West Virginia, Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland, Richmond, Charlottesville and Norfolk, Virginia and at Walter Reed Army Hospital and Children's Hospital National Medical Center in Washington, DC. Over the past year the number of patient visits to these clinics increased 38% resulting in 630 more visits for children with arthritis.
To increase awareness of Juvenile Arthritis among professionals and the general public, the CPRC team gave 52 presentations reaching 3,575 people including families, educators, physicians, nurses, social workers and physical and occupational therapists. T w o especially successfull programs were a vocational day for teenagers and parents and an educational advocacy program to help familes obtain services for their children in school.
To get a better idea of the actual cost of care for these children with a chronic illness, the CPRC is cooperating with eleven other centers around the country in collecting computerized data about the types and the costs of needed services. This information will help the public and private sectors to plan on a national level how best to meet the needs of these children.
The support provided to the CPRC by the Alpha Omicron Pi Philanthropic Foundation is deeply appreciated and has gone a long way to help children with arthritis in the Washington, D.C. area and across the country.

As 1986 continues and we find our- selves actively involved in the hustle and bustle of everyday living, we may suddenly find ourselves asking "Why AOn, why fraternities, and what is the use or 'busi- ness' of fraternal groups in today's world?"
According to some American educa- tors, the "Greeks", who had traditionally been the training ground for the development of leadership among the 17 to 24 year olds of this nation, faltered during the 1960's and 70's and were no longer doing their "job". These educators have challenged the fraternal system to continue to enhance the development of the lives of that age group. This fraternity role is so important to the advancement of excellence, not only of the fraternity system and America's colleges and universities, but ultimately for the benefit of this nation as a whole. The Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation has accepted that challenge. W e believe that the"business"ofAOnistoenhancethe development of those designated young people, and our goal is to assure that Alpha Omicron Pi will always be able to do just that. The achievement of that goal will be costly, and will require the financial support of all of our members to the Endowment Fund of the Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation.
The Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation continues to grow. We are presently
developing planned giving programs which can and will benefit not only the Foundation, but the donor as well, since all gifts will be totally or partially tax free. In today's society that will result in substantial financial savings for many people. Eleven ways of giving may be considered part of our planned giving program. They are the following:
1. Basic gift of cash
2. Gifts of securities
3. Gifts of real estate
4. Gifts of tangible property 5. Gifts of life insurance
6. Bargins sales
7. The Unitrust
8. The Annuity Trust
9. Charitable Lead Trust
10. The Revokable Trust
11. Gifts through will
Each of these methods of giving
assures the donor a substantial tax saving. Many of them preclude excessive taxation on estates and inheritances at a future date. They are all worthy of the consideration and investigation of Alpha Omicron Pi's many members.
The Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation Board will be happy to furnish more de- tailed information on any of these planned giving programs. Let us begin to utilize those which are best for our own individual situations in order to enable Alpha Omicron Pi to enrich the lives of its members and to be a leader in the growth and development of American young people, forever!

At its inception in 1887, Alpha Omi- cron Pi was charged to enhance the de- velopment and to foster the advancement of excellence of its membership. This indeed has been the "business" of Alpha Omicron Pi for the past ninety years!
One of the main functions of your Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation is to assist the Fraternity with educational programs and activities for the continued enrichment of our membership, both collegiate and alumnae. The Foundation's ability to provide such assistance depends on the strength of its Endowment Fund.
The basic concept of endowment re- fers to funds which have been set up so that the principle remains inviolate and in perpetuity and that only the income from the investment of the funds may be expended.
Endowment funds may be "restricted", such as our Jessie Marie Cramer Fund, so that the income is used for specific purposes. O r , endowment funds may be set up so that the income may be used
for any
portant, at the time, by the elected board of directors of the Foundation. This is termed "unrestricted endowment".
Whether "unrestricted" or "restricted", endowment funds will add to our frater- nity's financial stability and help to assure its viability. Endowment funds are little influenced by economic fluctua- tions and can continuously be used to strengthen our fraternity. Endowment funds can be adapted to any part of Alpha Omicron Pi's educational program. Donors have the satisfaction of knowing that their gifts are never "used up". The principal always remains intact—only the income is used and this for the specific purposes prescribed by the donors.
Each of us can be proud of our frater- nity's accomplishments. As we enter our ninth decade let us celebrate sister- hood and share the joy and pride of launching AOEf's second century with an Endowment which will insure the continued growth and excellence of AOll's "business" for all those young women who, in the future, may choose to join our ranks!

Gamma Sigma AOII Athletes
At the end of winter quarter in 1979, Gamma Sigma hosted its first "AOII Athletes" at Georgia State University. In its first year, AOII Athletes garnered close to $2000 for Arthritis Research.
In Gamma Sigma's seventh annual AOTI Athletes this past spring, the chapter raised over $7000 for the Phil- anthropic Foundation! This represents the largest dollar amount given to the Foundation by either a collegiate or an alumnae chapter. Just as the project has grown, so has Gamma Sigma's charitable giving. This year the chapter gave to every fund of the Foundation. Although the amount given by Gamma S i g m a m a y n o t b e m a t c h e d b y e v e r y chapter, certainly Gamma Sigma's giving to each fund of the Foundation is worthy of emulation.
Just what is AOTI Athletes? Lisa Cape, chapter president explained that AOII Athletes is a track and field competition between the fraternities at both Georgia State and Georgia Tech. Among the many Greek sponsored philanthropy projects at Georgia State, AOTI Athletes has moved to the fore- front as it has become quite a competi-
tion among the fraternities to finish with a high ranking. There are several categories of awards. First of all is the philanthropy award. This is judged by how much money each fraternity raises for the AOIT Foundation. The awards are all based on a point system. In the philanthropy category, one point is awarded for every $5.00. Other cate- gories for awards include the track and field competition, attendance at the events, and a spirit award.
Lisa went on to explain that the chapter also raises money each year by selling T-shirts with the annual AOTI Athlete emblem. In addition to increas- ing the amount of money raised for the Foundation, it also is a tremendous public relations tool.
Gamma Sigma has found out the rewards of establishing an annual project to raise money for the Founda- tion. Why doesn't your alumnae or collegiate chapter plan to do the same! For more information on AOII Athletes, contact Lisa Cape. (Her address is in the Directory found elsewhere in this issue).

AOII Installed at Thomas More
By Sara Barlage
Alpha Beta Tau chapter was colonized on May 5, 1985. This was a dream come true for the twenty-two women of Thomas More College who had worked for months to become part of a national fraternity for women. It had been quite achallenge when the LittleSistersof the Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity decided to leave that organization and search for affiliation with a national sorority. Because there were no Greek organiza- tions on campus for women, the girls wanted to become part of a strong
NPC group.
In January, 1985, the former Little
The group's best asset was its organi- zation. Since it had existed already as a Little Sister group, which had established officers, the leadership of the group re- mained constant. Acting president, Kelly Decker, and acting vice-president, Coleen Cahill really held the group together. They formulated a purpose and aletter about WINS whichwas sent toallNPCgroupsonFebruary25,1985. After reviewing the affirmative replies, the women narrowed it down to three choices: Sigma Sigma Sigma, Phi Sigma Sigma, and AOII. These groups pre- sented themselves on Sunday, April 14, 1985. They were each rated on philos- ophy, philanthropy, alumnae organiza- tion, career networking, traditions, and scholarship programs. The following week, in a unanimous vote, the women chose AOTI. All of the collegians were impressed with the personal yet pro- fessional approach of Peg Crawford, members of the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter, and the women of Omega
education adviser, were also present. The alumnae chapter planned a recep- tion after the ceremony.
The new initiates represented many disciplines of study and diverse interests. The majors represented in the group were computer science, education, English, nursing, history/pre-law, business administration, and accounting. Half of the women were recipients of college scholarships and honors, and the group had a higher GPA than any other group on campus. Each of these women was involved in at least one other group, such as Student Government, Club Council, Student Nurses Association, Phi Alpha Theta (National history honor association), Tennis team, Softball team, and Cheer- leading. Because most the women had been a part of the Rho Chapter of Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity, they kept close ties with the members of that organization.
During those last hectic weeks after colonization, the new AOII colony members held elections, established meeting dates, as well as some long term goals. In the midst of all this, they sponsored a booth in their city's Maifest to enlarge their treasury. Even during the summer, these pledges stayed active. By-Laws were formulated, while a sub-motto was worked out, and a budget set. A major philanthropic endeavor was also carried out. Over two hundred dollars was raised in one day at a local golf course in August for Arthritis Research.

Women Interested in National Sorority.
Since Troy Johnson, who was Co-
ordinator of Campus Life at the college,
was an AOII and had spent some time
working for AOII, these collegians
knew she would be a great source of
information about sorority life. Troy chapter at Miami University, who
worked with WINS for months, giving a wealth of advice about how fraternities operated, and how the women should go about petitioning other N P C groups. With her help, and the help of Dave Tom, Dean of Students at the college, the collegians recruited new members and built up a treasury by holding bake sales and sponsoring a dance on campus. In addition, the women collected mini- mal dues to cover to costs of printing and postage.

Colonization was held at the college
on May 5,1985. Regional Vice President II, Nancy Bowers presided over the cere- mony with the help of Elaine Kennedy, RD. A number of AOITs from the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter were present, including president, Georgana Taggert, and Betsy Payne Watson, who was to become ourcolony adviser. Carol Gates and Susan Robinson, who were to become our financial adviser and pledge

As rush began the 1985-86 school year, Kendra Redfern, C C paid the colony a week-long visit. She provided help and ideas to make rush successful at a school which had never experienced sorority rush before! Special guests at the rush parties were Elaine Kennedy, RD, and Mary Bryant, RRO. Rush not only provided the group with new members, but also brought the colony closer together. The first pinning of new members was conducted by Colony Adviser, Betsy Payne Watson on Sep- tember 22, 1985. Another pinning was held later in the semester for the women who pledged during COB. At the close of the semester, the colony had fulfilled nearly all the requirements for be- coming a chapter. There was initial doubt about the three letter sub-motto, alpha beta tau, but it was approved in time.
The colony received news of its accept- ance into A O n from RD, Elaine Kennedy in early February 1986. The Installation ceremony took place on Saturday,
March 1, 1986. Friday night a Rose In- spiration was held at the home of Cin- cinnati alumna, Mary Brokau Haas, and it was given by twelve women of the Kappa Omega chapter at the University of Kentucky. Troy Johnson, and Cincinnati alumnae Betsy Payne Watson and Gana Taggert were also present. This was a most special evening for the colony members, for here they experienced sisterhood for the first time and learned something about what makes AOIT so unique.
The Installation Ceremony took place at 1:00p.m. onMarch 1,1986 in Thomas More's Ackerman Hall. International Vice-President of Finance, Kay Sutherlin was the installing officer, and she was assisted by Executive Board member, Liz Coffey. Colony Adviser, Betsy Payne Watson, R R O Mary Bryant, and members of the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter were also present as well as the women from Kappa Omega chapter. A reception followed the ceremony in the
college's Seiler Commons. The Rose Banquet was held at the Town and Country Restaurant. Greetings were given by Kelly Decker, chapter presi- dent. After a delicious steak dinner, Elaine Kennedy, Mary Bryant, Liz Coffey, Betsy Payne Watson, and Kay Sutherlin presented the Red Rose of Alpha Omicron Pi, during which the new initiates learned how each part of the rose signifies a different aspect of AOn. Lastly, Mary Brokau Haas read the presentation of gifts.
March 1 will no doubt be a day forever remembered in the hearts of the found- ing members, and in the chapter at large. These women are making sure of it. A journal was purchased and each founder was encouraged to write a few pages on her thoughts during Installa- tion and her aspirations for the future. They are now convinced that hard work does pay off and that dreams, no matter how great, can come true.
Richmond Alumnae Installed

The Richmond, Virginia alumnae were installed as a chapter on April 26, 1986. Nancy Bowers, Regional Vice President for Region II led the ceremony. Nancy spoke about the rewards of continued service to AOH. The Richmond alums have been hard at
work this past year supporting Rho Beta colony at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ruth Shorter, Past Alumnae President and Chapter Advisor for Rho Beta, was honored at the installation for her outstanding con- tribution to the growth of A O n in
Richmond. Ruth said that, "we hope that our nucleus of roughly 25 active alums will grow over the coming year as we work towards the installation of Rho Beta as a collegiate chapter."

T ufts University, Medford, Mass. is once again the home for Alpha Omicron Pi. Delta chapter has a wonderful heri- tage at Tufts as it was the 10th chapter of AOIT founded in April 1908. The alumnae were more than pleased to see the re-colonization of this chapter this past March.
InJanuary, AlphaOmicronPiand two other national sororities were invited by the Tufts Panhellenic to make a presen- tation. Diane Douglass, Public Rela- tions Coordinator; Becky Admire, Regional Director IV; collegians from Lehigh University and many Boston alumnae were ready to sell their sorority and that's just what they did! Within a week A O n was chosen to join the two other national sororities on campus. With only one month to prepare for our colonization everyone went right to work under the guidance of Jeanie Sells, Colonization Chairman.
On March 4th Kris Burfeind, Regional Extension Officer, made a presentation before 80 enthusiastic women. Interviewing was conducted by Kris Burfeind, and Melanie Doyle, International Vice President for Exten- sion; Jeanie Sells, Boston Alumnae President and Lisa Niederthal, Chapter Consultant. The colonization on March 6th was presided over by Melanie Doyle in the Mayer Campus Centre. Fifty two wonderful young women had a dream realized that evening and enjoyed getting acquainted with the Boston alumnae during a reception and buffet dinner. The new pledges could hardly wait to go back to their dormitories with their new "I Pledged AOIl" tee shirts on.
The new charter members are Susan Adler, Gerilyn Alfe, Annie Baker, Diana Bentley, historian, reporter; Kiera Boemeester, Meg Boynton, Chrissy Brodeur, Lynn Brody, Cheryl

Pi Omicron Installed as 147th Chapter
by Valene Brown
The nO colony at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee started the month of May in a most exciting way. On the third day of May the nO colony was installed as the 147th collegiate chapter of AOn. The sisters who had all eagerly awaited this very special moment spent the whole week in preparation.
Tuesday evening's meeting was a very exciting one. All the plans for the weekend were checked and rechecked to be sure everyone knew what was in store for them. The meeting ended with each sister taking her turn at lighting a candle and reading a poem about friendship and what her friends in AOn mean to her.
The week's festivities continued with an afternoon picnic at the Fair Grounds Park on Thursday. All the sisters ate hot dogs and hamburgers, sang AOn songs and did chants until the sun went down.
Friday night was a night of inspira- tion to get everyone prepared for the big day that followed. T h e evening began with a pizza party and later became more serious when International Presi- dent Peg Crawford and Suzanne Hall, Rush Adviser, told everyone what being a sister in AOn means to them. The night continued with each colony member reading a paragraph about what her experiences in A O n have meant to her.
Saturday morning began bright and early as the colony gathered for brunch and prepared to become initiated members of AOn. Collegiate members from the Alpha C h i chapter at W estern Kentucky were visiting to assist in the Initiation ceremonies.

Pi Installed at Newcomb
by Barbara Kenny Installation Chairman
The installation of Pi at Newcomb College of Tulane University in New Orleans brought back to active status the second oldest collegiate chapter, Pi, which was originally founded in 1898. The weekend of April 18-20, was the culmination of a year of planning and hard work by members of the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter, Pi colony members, and the Alumnae Advisory Committee, with Sky Louapre and Helena Henderson as Co-chapter Advisers.
The activities began with a Night of Inspiration which was conducted by Mickey Rodriguez, Rush Adviser for Pi chapter, and a number of collegiate sisters from Kappa Tau chapter in Hammond, Louisiana. The girls explored what A O n has meant to them and what they expect of the future. Later in the evening the girls had an opportunity to meet and visit with Peg Crawford, International President, Barbara Kramer, Regional Vice-President, and Gail Osborn, Regional Director.
The initiation of members and installa- tion of the chapter was held on Saturday, starting at noon in the Anna E. Many Lounge of the Newcomb Women's Center. The lounge where the Ritual took place is named in honor of a member of the original Pi chapter. Forty charter members and four pledges had the honor of being initiated and pledged by Internationa] President Peg Crawford.

Helena Henderson, Chapter Adviser, was Toastmistress for the Rose Banquet which was held at the Fairmont Hotel Saturday evening. Chapter President, Ann Levin, accepted gifts on behalf of the chapter from Alpha Omicron Pi Headquarters, the Region V I officers, and the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter. Denise Kilpatrick, Alumnae Relations Officer for Pi chapter delivered greet- ings from Pi chapter to all at the banquet. A number of awards given at the banquet included Outstanding Pledge to Sherri Gill, Leadership to Ann
Levin. Scholarship to Holli Goldberg and Carol Montgomery, Spirit to Char- lotte Stemmans, Philanthropic to April Lufkin, Fraternity Education to Sharon Klar, and Attendance to Cindy Kane.
Peg Crawford conducted a Ritual workshop on Sunday, which was followed by the Installation Reception for chapter members, alumnae, members of the Newcomb administra- tion and friends and relatives of Alpha Omicron Pi.
While this past year and this event- filled weekend will hold many fond memories for all those involved, it is the future and the growth of Pi chapter we all look forward to now. The immediate goals are to secure housing for the chapter and to have a successful rush in the fall. The Alumnae Advisory Com- mittee that will continue to work with the chapter will consist of: Helena Henderson and Sky Louapre as Chapter Advisers; Mickey Rodriguez, Rush Ad- viser; Lisa Cookmeyer, Chapter Rela- tions; Suzanne Seybold and Karen Alford, Pledge Trainers; Trixie M . Jobe, Financial Adviser; Barbara Kenny, Scholarship; and Louise Hemard, Historian.
The Pi chapter members, New Orleans Alumnae Chapter, the Alumnae Advisory Committee and the
Pi Corporation Board want to thank all who helped with the colonization and installation of Pi chapter in any way, and to thank you for all the gifts and notes of best wishes that were received.

O n March 8, 1986, after five months of extensive prepara- tion, fifty-six collegians and two associate members of C h i Psi colony were initiated, and AOII was installed as the seventh sorority at California Poly- technic State University, San Luis Obispo.
In anticipation of the "BIG DAY", the Leaders Council of the colony planned and carried out an Inspiration W eek for the collegians. These festivities led to the special evening, Rose Inspiration Night, where collegians of Chi Alpha, Lambda Beta, Lambda Iota, Nu Lambda, and Sigma joined their soon-to-be sisters in welcoming surprise guest Michaela Roloff, Chapter Consultant, who explored the meaning of the rose as it relates to A O n members; and Peg Crawford, International President, who reviewed the joys of membership and reassured the women of the quality of the experience of the next day. Also present were Regional Vice President Robin Beltramini and Regional Director Phyllis Gilson.

man, who so capably organized the weekend from 200 miles away, planned everything but perfect weather! However, the slightly damp Regional Officers, Beltramini and Gilson, plus Crystal Compese, Regional Extension Officer, Nancy Dunn, Corporations Supervisor, Phyllis Austin, and the Chapter Adviser Sara Burroughs, Finan- cial Adviser, Carol Smith, Chapter Con- sultant Adviser, Marilyn Hamilton, and Rush Adviser, Maureen Forgeng met with her the next morning to prepare the room for the Initiation and Installation.
Collegians from other chapters and alumnae from all over the state acted as sponsors for the new initiates. Those new friendships were only surpassed by the warmth and special welcome that Peg Crawford as Installing Officer expressed to each individual at the moment of her initiation; an impression never to be forgotten by those involved. The solemn initiation ceremony extended late into the afternoon, and was followed by the Installation of the Chapter, and its new officers.
After a brief intermission, cameras began flashing as the Rose Banquet was to begin. During the post-dinner remarks, Chapter President Kerry Boyd
greeted the assembly with reminiscences of the past months, and expectations for the future. The Red Rose of AOII was described by the International and Regional Officers present, and then several awards were presented to the new initiates by the advisers. There were also many gifts acknowledged which will be of great use in the years to come. The generosity of the alumnae and collegiate chapters as well as individuals was greatly appreciated.
Late Sunday morning, Peg Crawford held a meeting with the new initiates to review the meaning of the initiation, a lovely way to re-affirm the pledges made. This was followed by an Installa- tion Brunch for the members, their guests, and representatives of Cal Poly and the local Greek system. This special gala time was enhanced by local tele- vision coverage, and sincere congratula- tons from the large group of well- wishers. It was also time to say farewell to the individuals who had been so helpful in making Chi Psi a reality, but also there was the knowledge that friendships made in the past days could be renewed innumerable times in the future.

Rotary Club Pays Tribute to Heroine
Rebekah Wood Watts has been award- ed the Good Samaritan Award for Heroic Action by the Rotary Club of Knoxville for her efforts in pulling a man to safety from the waters of Stock Creek.
A recent University of Tennessee graduate with a degree in education, Watts was on her way home from her position as a volunteer counselor for Baptist Hospital's hospice program when the incident occurred October 31. She saw a car with a man still inside sinking into Stock Creek at the Knox- Blount County line.
By the time Watts reached the water, the 50-year-old man had crawled out of the car and was trying to make it to shore. Once others arrived to help, and she found a back-up swimmer, Watts dove in after the man and helped him to shore.
Rebekah is a member of Omicron chapter.

Founders' Day Message
On January 2, 1987, Alpha Omicron Pi will officially be 90 years old. From the 1890ties to the 1980ties, through many societal changes, AOII has grown in size and stature.
In 1897, Stella, Bess, Helen, and Jess, four college juniors, saw the need for a new women's fraternity. The philosophy and principles upon which they founded Alpha Omicron Pi proved to have a high degree of worth during the good times and the bad.
Let us reflect for a few moments on all the various eras during which our some 80,000 members have been initiated. It didn't matter that for many of us the world was quite a different place; that didn't alter the values that our Founders gave us through AOII on which to pattern our lives.
Many collegians and alumnae will gather on or near Founders' Day, December 8, to honor our Founders and founding—an absolutely wonderful way to Celebrate Sisterhood. In an area where there are few sisters, the celebration is every bit as special when two or three take their pins out of the jewelry box and have lunch together. It doesn't matter whether the birthday party is large or small, what matters is that the spirit of the Fraternity prevails.
Just as there was a need for Alpha Omicron Pi in 1897, considering the demands upon us in today's world, the need seems even greater.
Alpha Omicron Pi is truly a Fraternity for All Seasons.
