Rush
Reflection


By Peg Crawford
Iota
(U. of Illinois) International President
Perspectives
Thanks AOII!
When our son Rick was about 10 years old, he got into decorating his room at our summer cottage. In addi- tion to some wild posters, he illus- trated his favorite poem and tacked it up on the wall. Rick is 34 now, and that poem albeit on yellowed paper still hangs there. It has become a favorite of mine, and for my last Per- spectives, I wish to share this version of a message from our Ritual, our AOn philosophy.
A Bag of Tools by R.L.Sharpe
Isn't it strange
That princesses and kings, And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are Builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make,
Ere life is flown,
A stumbling block Or a stepping stone.
Thank you for the privilege of serving as your President for the past four years.
Thank you. Peg!
Margaret Kramer Crawford, Iota (Illinois), has served the Fraternity for the past four years as Interna- tional President. Alpha Omicron Pi owes a great deal to the woman who has presided over four years of several notable achievements. Among them:
1. Historic Expansion
*Alpha Omicron Pi installed 20 new collegiate chapters during 1985-87. By the end of this biennium, we will have installed 11 more. The 31 chapters that will have been installed during Peg's tenure as International President has given the Fraternity the enviable posi- tion ofbeingthefastestgrowingsorority in the National Panhellenic Con- ference.
*Our growth has not been limited to the collegiate arena. During this biennium, the Executive Board has approved the petitions of 8 groups of alumnae to become installed alumnae chapters.
2. Chapter Development and Support *Amidst the rapid expansion, the Fraternity has continued to pro- vide strong support to our existing
2
chapters. 1985, the first year under Peg's leadership, brought a new concept to collegiate development: Monitoring status. Monitoring status is a system of close regional and international support for chap- ters that are having difficulty achieving their potential for excel- lence. The use of Monitoring dur- ing the past four years has helped several chapters rise above medioc- rity and begin to achieve the excel- lence of which they are capable. *Re-regioning was undertaken both at the start of the 1985 and 1987 biennium. With the 1987 re-region- ing, two new regions were added to the Fraternity's administrative set- up. This provided the opportunity to increase the number of regional officers and directors providing that crucial, direct support to our chap- ters.
3. New Resources
•"Implementation of the new inter- national pledge program and Key- stones, the Fraternity's program for personal development, head the list of impressive new resources for our chapters. Additionally, several
manuals have been revised during the past four years including the Installation Manual, Convention Manual, and Leadership Confer- ence Manual. By the end of the biennium, the Regional Operations Manual and the Alumnae Chapter Operations Manual should also be completed.
4. New International Headquarters and Training Center
*A long time dream of the Frater- nity was realized when the new International Headquarters and Training Center was completed this spring. This facility will en- able the Fraternity to continue to enlarge the training programs for all segments of its volunteers.
As this brief list indicates, the Fra- ternity has indeed made notable strides under the leadership of Margaret Kramer Crawford. It's difficult to convey adequate appreciation for the years of service, love and loyalty she has given us. Though simple, this message is indeed from the heart.
Thanks, Peg, we love you.

Notable: Georgia Gould, TV
Director
By Wilma Smith Leland Past International President Tau (U. of Minnesota)
"May Wonders Never Cease." This headline introduced readers of Min- neapolis St. Paul Magazine to an article about Georgia Gould, Tau (U. of Minnesota), the AOFI Notable for this issue. Georgia is senior crea- tive director of advertising and pro- motion at Twin Cities Public Televi- sion (KTCA-TV).
Georgia's latest creation is Wonder- Window, a creative-writing magazine for children. The T V show for child- ren, W onderW orks, inspired Georgia to launch the magazine. Other of her
award-winning promotions include: "Go Places: Read" for Project Liter- acy U.S.; "Telly Ho!" for prime-time programming during the British Fes- tival of Minnesota; and the station's "Film du Jour", a classics film series. WonderWindow won an award dur- ing the annual PBS Advertising/ Promotion Conference in Los Angeles in July, 1988.
Georgia's association with Alpha Omicron Pi began before she entered the University of Minnesota. With a group of Glencoe high school seniors she came to Minneapolis to look over the campus and dormitory housing. While there she met Nikki Chafos, an AOII, who was running for the editor- ship of the Sanlord Scribe, the dormi-
Georgia Gould
tory newspaper. Nikki and Georgia had a mutual friend and so Nikki knew that Georgia had art talents. Nikki asked Georgia to make signs for her saying "Pick Nick for Sanford Scribe." Nikki won and George be- came an AOII pledge the next winter.
In her childhood Georgia could not decide whether she should be a moviestarorawriter.AtTaushehad a chance to be a lyricist, performer, director, writer.
After graduation she landed a job in New York as junion editor for TV Guide, writing program descriptions for program listings, getting the infor- mation from the networks and adver- tising agencies. In this job, she made the connections which helped her land research writing jobs with the "Perry Como Show" and with Good- man Ace, Selma Diamond, Jay Bur- tin, Peppiattand Aylesworth for "State of the Week" features. She was execu- tive secretary to Thomas O. Loeb at the same time.
While in New York she won an honorable mention in the Hallmark Hall of Fame Teleplay international competition. She received an acting scholarship at the Anthony Mannino Studios.
Before leaving for Hollywood in
Photo by Dan Vogel
1968, she worked with the Marschalk Advertising Agency on the national advertising campaigns for Tab, Sprite, Fresca, Softique, etc. With Gary Stev- ens Associates she was a publicity writer. She produced feature stories, press releases, and made media con- tacts for such clients as Johnny Car- son, Mel Allen, and Mitzi Gaynor.
In Hollywood Georgia worked as production assistant on the Bob Hope Special at the University of Southern California and the following winter she was writer's assistant to Orson Welles, working on "Catch 22."
In 1970 Georgia returned to Glen- * coe and the Twin Cities to be near her
parents. She went to work at WTCN- TV , an independent station and the first T V station to be completely computerized.
She left WTCN-TV (now KARE- TV)in 1980 and free-lanced for a year before she went to KTCA-TV, public television, in 1981. Her positions there changed from creative service manager to senior creative director, advertising/promotion. She creates, develops, and supervises promotional campaigns for local and national KTCA-TV producitons.

10 Steps to a Good Job
By Stacy J. Kluckman Theta Omega (Northern Arizona U.)
Breaking into the job market is intimidating whether you are 21 or 40. Women who have stayed home to be homemakers face the same chal- lenges and have the same questions as new graduates.
All women entering the work force can make finding a job easier and less frustratingbyfollowingteneasysteps.
The first step is to set goals, both functional and geographic. You must decide what you want to do and where you want to do it. Goal setting involves self-assessment and a realis- tic look at your strengths and weak- nesses.
Career planning is an individual task and decisions need to be made by reviewing personal preferences. Women who hate wearing nylons and suits may not enjoy a career in a corporateorbusinesssetting.Outgo-
ing, people-oriented personalities may be stifled in a laboratory research cen- ter where work is done individually in a lab.
Once you know what you want to do and in what city or area, the second step is to develop job-search tools. These tools include a well- written resume and cover letter. Resumes can be multipurpose (with- out a specific objective) or targeted (with an objective citing goals). Cover

How to Write Your Resume
By Stacy J. Kluckman
The following information should be used as a formatting guideline for your resume, but not as the final word. Friends, family members and former employers are good people to have critique your resume, as they are able to tell you if you have left out something significant. Career coun- selors, placement officers, and other professionals who review resumes also may provide constructive advice.
Identifying Information
Your name, address and telephone number should be placed in a prom- inent position, usually at the top of the resume. Some students give a permanent address and a school ad- dress, if both will be used during the job search. Any changes in such infor- mation should be communicated to employers immediately.
Objective
You may include a statement des- cribing your career goals, job target, or reason for using the resume. This is not appropriate for all resumes or all job seekers. One of the most impor- tant decisions you must make regard- ing the content of your resume is whether or not to include a statement of this type. A resume must commun- icate a sense of direction, either by stating an objective or in other ways (such as in a cover letter).
Education
Include undergraduate and gradu- ate study, as well as foreign study and special academic programs. Degrees, institutions and their locations, dates graduated or dates attended, and ma- jors and minors can be included. As with all entries on a resume, you decide what to include. Academic course work and areas of academic emphasis, if they are related to your objective, may be included.
Experience
List full time and part time jobs, as well as volunteer work, internships, externships, and other career related experiences. State the titles you held and the names of the organizations and describe the experiences in active, skills oriented terms. Whenever pos- sible, mention specific accomplish- ments. A common way of presenting this information is in reverse chrono- logical order. Y ou also can group related experiences together under special titles, such as Counseling Experience, Computer Experience or Business Experience. Extracurricular and Community Activities
Give the names of organizations and, if appropriate, offices held, ac- complishments, and special projects. Your description of your activities should make potential employers aware of the skills you have acquired through them.

Alumnae and Collegians believe in it:
Helping Others
By Judy Hornik Bourassa Theta Pi (Wagner College) International Alumnae Programming Chairman
When we hear the word "philan- thropy" most often the first thing that pops into our heads is a dollar sign. Collegiate and alumnae chap- ters are involved actively in the rais- ing of funds for our international philanthropy, arthritis research grants, and for a host of other worthy local causes. But, philanthropy is not neces- sarily related to the donation of money.
The word philanthropy is from the Greek word meaning loving mankind. In fact, Webster's first definition of philanthropy is: goodwill to fellow men, active effort to promote human welfare. Dollars are easy to count and recognize as measures of success. It is the less tangible, non-dollar efforts to promote human welfare we would like to acknowledge.
AOII alumnae are involved in their communities on an individual level. They participate in scouting, Special Olympics, Big Sisters, churches, as hospital volunteers, etc. We rarely hear about their time contributions, but they are making a difference in their communities.
Many alumnae chapters actively support the local chapter of the Arthritis Foundation with their time and talents in a variety of ways. Some chapters have members who are on the local Arthritis Foundation board, others help with telethons, some help with balloon lifts or "runs". All pro- vide a valuable human resource for a volunteer organization.
Other alumnae chapters have reach- ed out into the community in a per- sonal way by adopting a family or person. The Long Beach, Northern
Orange County, and New York/New Jersey alumnae have adopted fami- lies or individuals with special needs. They provide food, clothing, gifts, household items, and even Christmas trees.
Southern Orange County and Evansville-Tri State, among others, have chosen to provide gifts of ex- pendable items such as toiletries and household goods to homes for bat- tered women and children.
Philanthropy is from the Greek word meaning: 'loving mankind."
Diablo Valley delivers Christmas gifts to the county juvenile hall, and Chicago West Suburban makes gifts for a children's hospital. The Colum- bus Alumnae Chapter has an annual Christmas dinner for arthritis pa- tients on welfare or other assistance. They provide useful gifts, entertain- ment, and bingo—with the prizes being homemade edibles.
The dedication to altruistic causes comes naturally to our alumnae be- cause of their collegiate experiences. When Melanie Doyle, Public Relations Coordinator, studied some 69 reports, she tallied 19,597 hours given to local projects and 8,207 hours to local arthritis projects by our collegians last year.
Typically our collegiate chapters are involved in raising funds for numerous causes in addition to arthri- tis research and spend hundreds of hours doing so. I n addition, AOII chapters donate valuable time in strict- ly service oriented tasks.
Kappa Tau, Pi, Zeta, Chi Alpha, Beta Tau, Chi Lambda, Rho Omicron, Kappa Omega, Omicron, Kappa Kappa, and Gamma Delta specialize in activities for children. Special Olympics is very rewarding accord- ing to Lambda Upsilon, Delta Alpha, Alpha Sigma, Upsilon Lambda, Beta Delta, and Theta. Delta helped finger- print for the Missing Children pro- gram, and Nu Betas played hostesses for a weekend to a child from a chil- dren's home.
Among those who participate in the Panhellenic and other Greeks' service events are Sigma Omicron, Chi Delta, Upsilon, Beta Lambda, Tau, Lambda Chi, Chi Psi, Gamma Theta, Epsilon Alpha, and Lambda Beta. Campus blood drives have benefited from the efforts of the col- legians of Phi, Kappa Phi Colony, Phi Delta, Beta Phi, Iota Sigma, and Delta Theta.TauOmicronand Chi Beta have been recipients of campus service awards.

Rush
Reflections
By Julie Guengerich Martin Chapter Services Coordinator Alpha Delta (U. of Alabama)
What starts with lots of planning, meetings, and hard work, and ends with roses, roses, roses? It's Rush, of course! That exciting, exasperating, exhausting, exhilarating time that leaves a chapter with a pledge class of bright, shining faces eager to learn, participate, and give to Alpha Omi- cron Pi.
Rush is indeed the lifeline of AOII, for it is the process which allows col- legiate members to choose the young women who will eventually be initiat- ed into the Fraternity. These will be the women who will serve as chapter officers, and who will represent AOII on campus. Later, as alumnae mem- bers they will support alumnae chap- ters, representing AOII in the com- munities in which they live and work. They may serve as advisers to colle- giate chapters, as Regional Officers, or perhaps even as Executive Board members. So how DOES a chapter prepare to rush and pledge women to fill this bill?
Perhaps one of the most important points to remember about Rush is that a chapter is ALWAYS rushing, even if it has pledged quota or is at campus total. The actions of AOIIs on campus reflect credit or discredit upon the Fraternity. If a prospective
rushee meets a friendly, outgoing AOII she will carry that initial im- pression with her when going through Rush. It's important that sisterhood shines through and shows others how special it is to be an AOII. So re- member, whether walking to class or attending a campus event, collegians are always rushing for AOII!
Evaluation is an essential ingre- dient of a successful Rush. Imme- diately after formal Rush, careful, honest evaluations of Rush should be done by new pledges, legacies, chap- ter members and advisers. Weak areas should be changed. When looking at strengths, it should be determined WHY they work well and how they might be improved. By carefully look- ing at the past Rush program, chap- ters can successfully develop future Rush programs.
All successful campaigns must have strong leaders, and a Rush "cam- paign" is no exception. The election of a Rush chairman and assistant rush chairman may take place im- mediately after Formal Rush, allow- ing time for an effective transition to take place. This will also allow the new Rush Chairman and her Com- mittee ample planning time.

Rush, the entire chapter has to have a positive attitude. The Chapter Rela- tions Committee can schedule a var- iety of activities during pre-Rush week as well as during Rush to ensure that morale stays high. The rushees will be able to feel that positive, enthusiastic attitude the moment they walk through the AOII door!
It would be impossible to say every- thing about Rush in one magazine article. Don't despair! Each chapter has at its disposal a living, breathing, AOII sister, ready, willing, and able to assist them with Rush. She is FULL of wonderful ideas and sug- gestions and she's only a phone call away. She's the Regional Rush Officer, who under the direction of the Inter- national Rush Chairman, has been trained to assist in all phases of rush.
Rush is the ideal time to let that sisterhood come shining through. Indeed, everything WILL be coming up ROSES!
Rush Reflections . .
And, planning is important! This entire magazine could be devoted to Rush planning ideas. The fact is enough cannot be said about the importance of planning. Planning includes auditioning and practicing for skits, rehearsing conversation skills, song practice, prop and deco- ration preparation, and countless other details. It also includes submitting detailed plans to the Regional Rush officer in a timely manner. The sup- port of the entire chapter is crucial in preparation for Rush. All physical preparations, such as name tags, cos- tumes, clothing, stages, and skit props should be ready to go BEFORE the

chapter comes back for pre-rush week. That week should be devoted to review- ing rushees and polishing the entire rush program!
Chapters will have a giant head start if Membership Information Forms (MIFs) have been solicited and re- ceived before Rush begins. The ad- vantage of having this information prior to that first party is that rushees can be "targeted" before they even walk in the door. Work with alum- nae groups in the area to solicit MIFs. It will pay off!
It's a common saying that Rush is 90% attitude, and that's true. In order for a chapter to have a successful

Arthritis:
What it's like
How AOIIs help By Beth Grantham

T o Dragma
To Dragma Editor
If you don't have arthritis, chances are you know someone who does. One in every seven Americans is affected by some form of this myster- ious disease.
Since 1967 the members of Alpha Omicron Pi have been responsible for contributing nearly half a million dollars in research grants to scientists and institutions seeking the cause and cure of arthritis. AOII is the only National Panhellenic Conference member that officially supports arthri- tis research. Alumnae and collegiate chapters hold fund raisers such as bake sales, bridge benefits, Rock-A- Thons, and athletic events to raise money for the cause. AOIIs also work with local chapters of the Arthritis Foundation, sometimes co-sponsoring educational programs and often as- sisting in fund raising events.
Commonly perceived as an "old
people's disease," arthritis, in fact, has many forms and afflicts all ages, with most forms affecting women more than men.
What does it really mean to have arthritis?
It means pain. It may be pain serious enough to disable you or it may be much milder. The pain may be constant or occasional.
It means that you have a chronic disease—that is, one with no known cure as yet.
For many forms, it means that the cause of your pain will be invisible.
One of the most serious forms of the disease is rheumatoid arthritis, a progressively worsening inflamma- tion of the joints. This form of arthri- tis leaves some victims permanently disabled. A recent Newsweek article described how a 20 year old college student's body changed from that of a

The Most Common Forms of Arthritis Affecting Women Symptoms and Prevalence*
Osteoarthritis (the most common form)
—Aches, swelling, stiffness, especially in hips, knees, spine, fingers. —Affects 15.8 million Americans, mostly older people; three times as
many women as men.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
—Inflammation of joints, acute pain, fatigue, weight loss
—Affects 2.1 million; more than double the number of women than men.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
—High fever, rash, some or all joints are painful.
—Affects 71,000 Americans age 18 and under; six times as many girls as
boys.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
—High fever, anemia, rash, hair loss, kidney dysfunction. —Affects eight times as many women as men: 131,000 Americans.

The Detroit North Suburban Alumnae Chapter was treated to a trip into Birmingham's past via a slide show, reports Mary Jane Levi. Detroit area alumnae have much to celebrate with three active chapters i n the state. Barb Millington is espe- cially happy since her daughter Beth, a new Omicron Pi initiate, is alum- nae relations representative at the U . of Michigan.
Charlene M . Moore reports that the Evansville Tri-State Alumnae Chapter has been busy learning more about the Arthritis Foundation through Janice Johnson, director of the Southwest Indiana Arthritis Foun- dation.
The talent of the Fort Lauder- dale Area Alumnae was outstanding this year, reports Chris Girello. Grace Holden wrote a cute, enlightening skit about the Founders which was presented at the Founders' Day lun- cheon. Chris Girello created a new educational game for the first meet- ing of the year. Cathy Zombar modeled in the Panhellenic Fashion Show.

On a cold February evening a large group of Kentuckiana alumnae gathered to hear Edith Huntington Anderson's personal recollections of the four Founders of AOII. Edith, Beta Phi, was International Presi- dent in the mid 1930s and was well acquainted with all four of these out- standing women. Edith's presenta- tion was recorded on video and audio tape, reports Natalie Cowan Scharre.
Lafayette, Indiana Alumnae Chap- ter had a February meeting snowed out for the second year in a row, but rescheduled it two weeks later and entertained the new Phi Upsilon pledge class with a pizza party in the
new house addition.
Barbara Krause writes that chapter
members shared the senior dinner with the collegiate chapter i n April.

Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation
RENEW YOUR PLEDGE
Remember when you pledged Alpha Omicron Pi? At your initiation, you made a life-long commitment to your Frater- nity, to your sisters and to yourself, to live by and uphold the ideals and traditions of AOIL You also made a commitment to ensure the future of AOIL
AOII's Foundation is also committed to the future. In 1987 the Foundation started our Decade of Endowment Campaign to ensure our future. During this ten-year campaign, the Foun- dation plans to increase the Endowment Fund to $1 million.
A0I1 has embraced this commitment because we see educa- tion and development as a life-long process. Y ou will always grow as long as you have the motivation and the resources needed to accomplish important goals. The Endowment Fund can also grow with your pledges of support that will ensure the financial resources needed to meet the Fraternity's educational goals.
The Foundation is now at the two-year milestone in this ten-year campaign. Many sisters have contributed by making pledges to the Endowment Fund. By our next milestone, the Convention of 1991, the Foundation would like to see a significant increase in short and long term pledges. The Foundation encourages you to complete the form below and make a generous pledge of support to the Endowment Fund. Let the Foundation Board announce to our sisters at our next Convention that the Endowment Fund will have the resour- ces to meet the educational and professional needs of collegi- ans and alumnae in the future.
By supporting Fraternity educational programs, the Endow- ment Fund will ensure that quality programs will be avail- able to collegians and to alumnae in the future. Endowment Fund monies will always be there generating income to pro- vide the financial support that makes those important pro- grams possible.
Please renew your pledge for life-long commitment to AOn and pledge your financial support to the Endowment Fund.
Complete the pledge card below and return it to:
Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation Endowment Fund

YES, I CAN renew my pledge of life-long commitment to A0II.
ENDOWMENT LUNCHEONS
Hostessing a luncheon is a great way to support Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation's Endowment Fund. Luncheons provide a setting where AOIIs gather in fellowship to learn about the goals of the Endowment Fund and make a commitment to lead our fraternity into the future.
Alumnae in Nashville, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Jackson, Tennessee had opportunities to reestablish sisterhood when volunteers hosted En- dowment Luncheons. AOIT sisters were brought up to date on current Fraternity activities. Endowment pres- entations were made by Foundation Board representa- tives about the Endowment Fund—its plans, goals, and importance tothefutureofAOELThousandsofdollars were raised, pledges were made, and many A0I1 sisters have remembered the Endowment Fund in their will.
Plans are now being made for several Endowment Luncheons to be held this fall. Y ou, too, can make a difference and influence the direction that A0I1 takes in the future by volunteering to plan an Endowment Luncheon in your city. T o learn more about hostessing a luncheon, please write or call:

After her return to Minnesota, she produced scripts for Founders' Day programs and provided the narrative for Tau's 75th anniversary style show at the banquet in 1987. She combined her talents with those of Mary Kinney Steinke '53, who produces style shows as a career, Barbara Reese Davidson '53, professional actress and singer, and Jane Cracraft Robertson-Ganyo '50, pianist. She has worked on career workshops for the chapter and has served as a speaker for alumnae chap- ter programs.
Georgia advises young audiences, young AOIIs, and sometimes older ones, to be risk takers, to be willing to fail and to try again, to follow what she chooses to call "one's inner light." She knows that AOII gave her a chance to develop her talents. Of those relationships, she says that they have been supportive, ever renewing, and treasured.

How to Write Your B
If your activities associated with a club, school group, or community organization are directly related to the career or job you want, you may describe them under an Experience heading instead of Activities. Whether you received payment for your con- tributions of time and energy should not determine where you describe it on your resume. The nature of your responsibilities and their relationship to your career goals should be the deciding factors.
Special Categories
Almost anything can be treated as a
special category on a resume. Pre- senting information under its own heading is a good way of highlighting it. The categories of—Skills, Qualifi- cations, Languages, and Computer Languages—are the most common.

or university, you may state on the resume, "Placement dossier, includ- ing letters or recommendations, avail- able from ," giving the name of the appropriate university office. "References availa- ble upon request" also may be added to the end of the resume, but since employers will request them if they are needed, the phrase is superfluous and may be omitted to save space.
To save space on your resume and, perhaps more important, to give your- self greater flexibility and greater control over your references, you can develop and distribute several different lists of references, printed on separate sheets. Y o u can create individualized lists for differentjob targets, and you can change the references as you meet more people who can assist you.

From Our Readers:
Praise for "How to Eat Right"
T o the editor:
I would like to applaud you per-
sonallyonyour"HowtoEatRight" article in the winter issue of To Dragma, This is a big concern in our chapter, and we recently presented the eating disorders portion of "Key- stones" to our members.
T o be honest, I questioned what you might know about good eating when I first saw the article, but after reading it I was quite impressed. I have done a lot of reading about diet and nutrition, and there is a lot of quackery out there. There are few documented writings, but of those I have read, your article summarizes
Arthritis: What it's
healthy young woman to that of an 85 year old invalid in a matter of weeks following the onset of rheuma- toid arthritis.
For this woman, the change wrought by the disease was dramatic and ob- vious. Some forms of the 100 different afflictions which are classified as arth- ritis are often invisible. This fact can lead to the lack of sympathy from employers and loved ones. According to JVewsweelc, divorce is three times more common in couples where one spouse has the disease.

The one thing that impressed me
most is that you did not advocate eat- ing dairy and meat products. I am a strict vegetarian, and I find that kind of advice nonsensical and offensive. Congratulations on a truly excellent article. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yet, despite the tremendous eco- nomic cost, arthritis remains what some scientists refer to as a "stepchild" in research circles because it is not glamorous nor usually life threaten- ing. Y ou can be proud that your Fra- ternity is helping to provide funding to find the cause and cure of arthritis. Since arthritis research was adopted as AOII's philanthropy, there have been 36 separate research grants made to individuals and institutions. T h e amount of the grants has increased from a $5,000 first grant to an average of more than $15,000. From 1980 to 1988, 21 grants have been awarded rangingfrom $10,000 to $36,000. T h e most recent grants were awarded in 1988 to Lois Verbrugge,Ph.D., U.of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, and to David E. Yocum, M.D., and Melissa Halpern, U . of Arizona Arthritis Center, T ucson, Arizona.
Arthritis Research Grants is one of the four funds of your Alpha Omi- cron P i Foundation, supported by contributions from members and friends of AOII. The others are the Ruby Fund, the Development Fund and the Endowment Fund. The Alpha Omicron P i Foundation Board selects the recipients of the arthritis research grants.
The unpredictable nature of arthritis can be particularly troubling.
Other psychological aspects, ac- cording to information developed by the Arthritis Foundation, include de- nial, anxiety, and a loss of self esteem. Family and friends are affected, too. The unpredictable nature of the dis- ease can be particularly troubling. Said one patient:
"On days when I feel good, my husband forgets I have arthritis. When the bad days come, he thinks I'm exag- gerating. H e wonders how I eah feel okay one day and so miserable the next"
tis can be harmful for patients with other forms of the disease. People with arthritis should work closely with their doctor to develop an in- dividual treatment plan.
Lest you think that the impact of arthritis is limited to victims and their families and friends, consider the following:
—It's the nation's primary crippler.
—Arthritis-related illnesses account for 27 million lost workdays annually.
—It costs the U.S. economy an estimated $8.6 billion a year.
Treatments vary according to the

Your next step is to interview with potential employers. Communicate to an employer your motivations and, most important, the skills you have to perform the job you want. After the interview, regardless of the out- come, always follow up with a thank you note expressing your appreciation for taking the time to interview and your interest in the position.
After interviewing, consider your offers. Yes, more than one offer can be obtained ifyou are effective.You may need to negotiate your salary and benefits. It is imperative that you have a salary range in mind that you feel comfortable with. Once you accept an offer and begin work, you will have lost the opportunity to negotiate.
The final step is acceptance of an offer. After analyzing factors such as career goals, salary and job setting, you accept an offer.
"A job search is simple, but not necessarily easy," says Nadler. "Be persistent and realistic i n your goals.

10 Steps to a Good Job

letters are the means by which you communicate directly to employers your goals and qualifications for spe- cific positions.
A poorly written cover letter will devalue even the best resume. So never underestimate the 1 power of first impressions.
"Cover letters and any correspon- dence with a potential employer must be yours," says Burton J. Nadler, author of Liberal Arts Power! How to Sell It on Your Resume. "It must project your writing style and per- sonality. Samples found in books should be used as guides to motivate you as you undertake your own job search actions. Everything a poten- tial employer receives from you must project professionalism and your power to perform."
Your third step is to identify a "hit list" of potential employers. A library is an excellent source. There you can research companies, find directories and locate other resources, such as professional magazines, to develop your list of employers to contact.
Establishing a network is the fourth step and one you should maintain and continue to foster throughout
your career. According to the U.S. Dept. of Labor, 57 percent of all jobs are filled by networking. Networking is the method of the '80s for obtaining jobs, promoting career advancement and expanding business opportunities.
Ask appropriate friends, family members and even alumni of your school or sorority alumnae to assist you in your research and job search efforts. Y our network of friends and business assoc.. can help arrange informational interviews and supply referrals to potential employers throughout your career.
The next step is to respond to posted opportunities. Locate and use job postings, such as newspaper want ads, employment agencies and on- campus recruiting programs.
Then send your resume and cover letter to people on your hit list and in your job search network. Inform as many people as possible, as often as possible, about your job search goals.
The seventh step is to FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP!
Continue to communicate either by phone or in person, with potential employers until you get an interview.
Next comes the fruit of your search, a fulfilling and rewarding career.
Establishing a solid reputation in your field will make your next job search much easier.
