Remember on the first day of chool when rou were asked that in­

evitabl que tion, 'vVhat did you do during our ummer vacation?"

Well, Danielle DeSimone, Gamma Omega, a senior education major at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, had an intere ting tor to te ll her student during her Ludent teaching thi s -mester. he pent the month of Jul in Tenancingo, Mexico, as a United State D legation Leader to the 1994 Children' lnLernational Summer Vi l­lage (CISV).

The Childr n's International um­mer Village program i an internation­ally-recognized organ ization found d by Dori Allen. Danielle notes tl1at M . Allen found d this organization to pro­mote fri nd hip and under tanding among hildren, oung people, and adult in a ll part of the world.

In Ran cho Grande in Tenancingo (Lwo hours outh of Mexico City) th i ear, over 92 nationalities and 15 coun­

trie participated in the eve nt. There were 18 A chapters involved in the program.

"I h ard about the program through an ad a king for volunteer in the La all niver it new paper," Danielle aid. She then went through an inl rvie\ pro and was awarded th po ition of delegation leader. In

£4Jl' 0"" ------thi po ition, she wa respon ible for four 11-year-olds (two boy and two girl ) . According to Daniell , th or­ganization target thi age group be­cause it is an easy ag that accept n w things and has few, if a ny, prejudices. "I was their friend, parent, and every­thing for a whole month.

"A a delegation leader, you need some past workin g experience with chi ldren and great organ izationa l ski lls," he adds with a laugh. "There are a lot of medical forms and in ur­ance forms to fi ll out before you leave."

There were also a lot of other de­tai l that Danielle had to attend to be­fore leaving for Mexico in July. Per­haps most importantly, h had to gain tl1e trust of the ch ildren with whom she would be spending so much time. Start­ing a montl1 before their departure, she met weekly with the children so they could get to know one another, and tl1ey cou ld plan the detai ls for their " Ta­tional Even ing" pre entation where the children would share a little of the U.S. cu lture witl1 the other children of the vi llage, through food , a slide presenta­tion, and dances.

"It is a unique experience with all the different countries. Rather than just reading about these cultures, you get to see a li ttle of each one firsthand ," he added enthu ia ticall y.

Danielle DeSimone

Thi e n rgetic ALT further ex­plained that most of the time at the vi llag wa pent directly with the ch il­dren. A normal day began at 7:30 in the morning, and then proceeded with activitie in drama and art and crafts, a ll of wh ich represented different cu l­tures. A Dani lie point out, the ch il­dren might tart the day by perform­ing a play in Spanish and finish the day learning the ign languages used by the people ofThai land.

Highlights of the trip included the initial trip into the town ofTenancingo, where the CISV wa welcomed by the town people, whom Danielle de cribe as very patient and cooperative, particu­larly as the group practiced their pan­ish. They also enjoyed a three-hour bu ride to the pyTamids at Teoteohaucan, where they climbed the un and the moon pyramids.

T he leaders met together at night to di cuss the events of the day, and they also had one free weekend. On their free weekend, they vi ited aile De Bravo, about three hour from the vi llage. Leaders visited the Buddhi t Temple of the Butterflie , v ent to a di cotheque, and stayed in a beautiful hote l. During the leaders' fre w ek­end, the children lived with aM xican host fami ly and were able to ee what Mexican life was like, Dani lie aid. They took in sicrhts of Mexico with their host'families; each host famil wa a part of CISV.

"I will definite! keep in touch with tl1e chi ldren. They all live clo e to

(continued from previous page) LaSalle University," she said. But sh e also plan to keep in touch with the o th er friends she made this umm er. "I have already sta rted writing," sh e laughs. ''The children and I already received - in Augu t- several invi tations to trave l during our Christmas and summer vacation . " Sh e no ted that she would like to trave l someday, a nd it i nice knowing tha t there are 15 other co untr ies wh e re sh e a lread y h as fri -~ n ds!

The child ren brought back with them material i terns such as food, clo th­ing, postcard , and stamp , and they also brought back with the m a knowl­edge of o th er languages, experie nce wi th new cuisines, and the acceptance of d ifferent cul tures and trad ition .

"I wil i defin itely never forge t the people. Just the a tmosphere a t camp is hard to exp la in ," Da n ie ll e a id . ''There was a will ingness to accept one ano th er without prejudice . I t was an incredible feeling."

In tryi ng to relate this experience to her own li fe and her chosen career, sh e adds, "it h as g ive n me a much broader perspective. " It wa a true te t for this future teacher. "It was like hav­ing four kids of my own 24 hour a day. I had one child for each arm and leg," she jokes.

Dani elle re-emph asi zes th a t the main purpose of the program i to start young and teach childre n that we can accept others and achieve peace. Sh e po in ts out that as a member of a soror­ity, this is especially good to remem­ber, since as sister we are learn ing to communicate an d get along. "I will definitely sh are this experie nce with my chapter, bu t it is su ch an incred­ible experience; they would rea lly have to go through it to understand what it 's like," she concluded . "And I would recomme nd this experience! "

''Looking Beyond. . . ": The 1994 National Convention

"That workshop was awesome!" "I can 't wait to get back to my chapter and

use what I've learned here!" "We really got to meet a lot of sisters from

all over!" "The National Staff and Council are re­

ally nice women!" "I can't wait until the next Convention!"

Comments like these rang thro ugh the halls at the Hyatt Regency H ote l in Buffalo, New York the week of june 20-25, 1994, when Alpha Sigma Tau h e ld its 30th ational Convention. Alpha Sigma Ta us from aero the country had the o pportuni ty to meet and network with other sisters, take new ideas back to their chapter or na­tional office from the workshops and general sessions, conduct sorority busi­ness, buy sorority clothing and j ewelry, and take a trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

ALT i ters had orne pleasant sur­prises in tore for them at Con ention.

In addition to the workshops geared to­ward helping member perform their orority duti e we a! o heard from a

professional imag consultant and a motivational speaker.

But the bigge t urpri wa the announce ment that Alpha igma Tau has purcha d a new H eadquarter building in at 1929 anyon Road in the Vestavia Hills section of Birmingham, Alabama. The building is being read­ied for u and the H eadquarter taff pla ns to move in within ix month .

For the second Convention in a row, we h e ld a "trade how" one eve ning. Member of the National Staff, Foundation, and H eadq uart r

Rebecca Jackson Makes Quite a Hit at Convention

BY TINA M. NAREMORE

'The sorority has taught me the true meaning of the o ld saying, 'you get out of it what you put into it '," said Rebecca J ackson, the 1994 Convention Queen and Mary Louise Doyle Panhellenic Award recip ient.

Rebecca has put a lot into Alpha Sigma Tau, whether as a pledge, ister, or as an officer for the Gamma Gamma Chapter at Livingston University. Her chapter advi er, Melinda Willingham, says, "She wi ll go beyond the call of duty when you ask he r to. She is a l­ways giving 110% of her time and tal-ent."

This statement is easily supported whe n one takes a look at Rebecca's resume. While at the Gamma Gamma Chapter, Rebecca has served as Vice Pre ident, Rush Director, Rock-a-Thon Chairman, Ritual Chairman, Manage­me nt In stitute Chairman , Founders Da y Chairman, Rho Chi, a nd as Panhelle nic De legate, Vice President, and President.

The list does not top with soror­ity duties. Re becca still finds time to be an active m mber of the Livingston cam pu as the S nior SGA Senator, LU Envoy (campus hostess), Re id nt

s is tant , Surnrn r Orientation

10

Leader, and a member of the Greek Council.

Despite the e many activitie , this Business Admini tration major and Marketing minor doe not lo e sight ofhercareergo~sandround outher extracurricular activities by adding member hip in bu ine s organization into her agenda. Rebecca i a mem­ber of Delta Sigma Pi bu ine s frater­nity, where she has held the position ofVice Pre identofPledge Education and President. She i al o a part of tu­den t in Free Enterprise (SIFE) as both the Treasurer and Vice Pre ident.

This year, Rebecca al o erved as the Vice President for L ' W T (Stu­dent Working with Alumni Toge th er) Team in an effort to raise funds for the university.

Rebecca attribute much of her success to ALT and her advi er Melinda Wi ll ingham. "ALT has helped me develop into a mature and well-rounded woman _ I 've learned how to work with o ther and become a leader," she aid_ "There i not a dol­lar amount that I could place on the experience and knowledge I have ob­tained through working with LT."

There is no dollar amount that M . Willingham would place on being able to escort one of her girls in to the 1994

a tion a! Convention Award Banque t as the Convention Queen. "My girls are more than just sisters to me; they are my children , and I have become very close to Re becca over the pa t years."

With a huge mile on her face , Rebecca adds about the Mary Loui e Doyle Pan he llenic Award, "Nothing in the world could have made me hap­pier than winning uch a pre tigiou award. Mrs. Doyle is my idol. I wish ALT had more Mr . Doyle . I feel hon­ored to have been cho en for an award named for her. "

Rebecca i a native of J ack on, Ala­bama, and is the daughter of Shirley Craft and Gar Joe J ackson.

On a final note , he added that LT will remain part of her life and

he can hard! ' wait to see what the world of alumna tatus ha in tore for h e r.

Gamma Gamma Takes Founders Award at Convention

Br TINA J\11. AREMORE

The sisters of the Gamma Gamma Chapter were excited ju t to be going to the National Convention in Buffalo this year, but thi eight-year-old chap­ter never expected to walk away from th e closing banque t a the winner of the 1994 Founders ward.

With tears in h er eye , Melinda Willingham aid , " I at and listened for the winner of the Founder ward, I realized that e erything that I had wanted for Gamma Gamma had hap­pened. "

M . Willingham will be leaving the Gamma Gamma Chapter when he moves to Birmingham thi fall (and a -ume a new position as Iota Di trict

Rush Skills: Not just for College! BY KAREN D E CHF!ELD-MASTERSO ' BETA

XI, NATIONAL RusH CooRDINATOR

When we think of rush, our thoughts focus on rushees: What can we do to attract women who will best serve our organization? How can we inform them about AlT in a fun way? How can we learn the most abo ut them? But while we are focu ing our attention on other people (our rush­ees), we are developing valuable pro­fessional skills at the sam time.

Recall your feeling when you first participated in rush . o doubt, you were unsure of what to say, a bit ner­vous, and very uncomfortable when a lu ll occurred in the conversation. Mostly, you were probably over­whelmed with trying to move smoothly from one one-on-one conver ation to another in a crowded room.

Mter a while, though, we all be­come more relaxed during rush. We are less self-conscious, and more con­fident and comfortable. We even try to make the rushees feel more com­fortable! At this stage, we begin to con­centrate on educating ourselve about what each rushee had to offer our chapter and our national organization.

Eventually, we become ea oned veterans at ru h. We are poised from

Learning the art of small talk make for much smoother interviews and ntsh partie. Angela Howard and Anne Crawford keep awkward pau es to a minimum and enjO)' 1 heir interview experience at a rush party.

our hand hak to our mile, to our eye contact, to the way we move through­out the room gathering and distribut­ing information. We are good at net­working, naturall initiating conver a­tion with women we didn ' t know. We earc h for om one to replace our­e lves (to en ur our chapter would

continue ucce fully after we gradu­ate), and for additional women (to strengthen lT with additional tal­ented women).

How do our ru h kills aid u in our personal and profe ional growth? Ru h teaches u how to interview and be interviewed. No matter which path ou take after graduation, interviewing

skills are invaluable. Duringjob inter­view , you are evaluated on your abil­ity to li ten, peak confid ently, answer questions clearly, e ll your e lf, and keep a conver ation flowing and inter­e ting. The e kill are vitally impor­tant , not only when you are the interviewee, but also when ou are the interviewer. I believe we take the e skills for granted.

For my first important interview, I practiced a bit, poli hed my shoes, pent a lot of time on my re ume, and

then came the interview .... Surpri -ingly, I had fun! The conver ation flowed , and we had an even exchange on what I could offer them, and what they could offer me. I wa leavincr

the interviewer said, ' He Karen ? Ex-cellent interview." That surpri ed me. It was so easy. In the six year that I've worked for my current company, I've interviewed hundreds of people. In­tenriewing was never in m job de crip­tion. Lookin cr back, I realize now hm participating in a ll of tho rushe en­abled me to fine-tune m intervie\\ring kills .

Rush teache u how to network. We learn to join organization o that we can de elop a network of friend and professional contact . We I arn to a "he llo" to the per on in the e l­evator. You n ver know wh n a ne\ contact will b able to offer 'Ou a job become on of 'OUr b t fri nd or h lp ou refinance our h u e. '

Melinda Oates knows that preparation for any rush party - or interview- i the key to success.

Ru h al o teache u important committee kill . Mter graduation, n matter what your profe ion , you will work with other people to reach a com­mon goal. Working on the ru h com­mittee teach u to olicit and u e oth­er ' input, and to detail and finalize plan . We learn how to delegate to individual who have different tyle and abilitie , monitor their progre and even work within a budget.

Finally, a Ru h Director, you learn how to delegate to manacrer (that i , th e ru h com mittee leader ) . You hone your kill to devi e complete, orche trated plan . You learn how to manage yo ur time and motivate people.

Although it i ea to recall the unea ine we have ometime felt while ru hing, take a fe, moment to appreciate ju t how much 'OU learned from it. Then u e tho evaluable kill (remember, ou don ' t haY to be at a ru .h) to find future memb r or help tram our newe t member .

Annville, PA:

Even under several feet of now, we managed to ha e a busy and fun filled spring semester. As a philan­thropy project, we participated in the old Penn ylvania Dutch tradition of making fastnacht for Shrove Tue da by helping out a church. A fastnacht is a German doughnut, traditionally eaten before Lent, and we had fun making and eating them!

Our rush program started out with two informal rush parties. The fir t, celebrated Gamma Tau ' second birth­day with a little kid's birthday party theme, complete witl1 pigtail , pajama and pinatas! Our econd one had an astro logy theme. We wound up with 14 pledged! As we vvelcome our new sisters, we must say good-bye to 13 of our enior . Participating in Greek Week and planning to run a children's game booth at the campus Spring Arts Festival kept us too busy to be sad.

Our sorority has thrived through past year because our ister were willing to commit, to uphold our standards, and establish goals for the future.

At our 30th National Convention this past summer in Buffalo, ew York, our Convention theme was "Looking Beyond ... ", and a we do that for our sorority, we mu t pa on the ideal , hope , and dream pas ed on to us by our founders and builders. An exten ion of the theme of our 1994 Convention states that for our future we need you and the contribu­tions that only you can give as we look beyond for Alpha Sigma Tau.

This year our permanent National Headquarter in Birmingham, Ala­bama, became a reality. Through that acquisition b our ational Foun­dation working with the National Organization , we have achieved one more goal from our dreams of the pa t. As we work together to make thi "building" part of our alread established heritage, let us celebrate this Founder Day with renewed dedication to what lie ahead for our orority.

Though fads and fashions may change, the ideals and value estab­lished by our founders ninety-five year ago and held b our builders in years since shall not change. As we celebrate thi Founder Day, take time to reflect on the fond memorie of your past association through our i -terhood and rededicate ourself to continue to hold high the torch and work for numerous achi vements for Alpha Sigma Tau.

What is a Chamber of Commerce? BY LiNDA G UNDEU'TNCER SHAPONA, ALPHA

RHo

Many of us have used the service of a chamber of commerce when w are planning to travel to a certain area. We may ca ll or write to the chamber for information regarding the commu­nity we wi ll be visiting, including place to stay, thing to do, and how to get there. However, few people really know what a chamber of comm rce is, how it is organized, and how the e ser­vice are made possible. The many op­portunities that it offer are a my tery to most of u .

The chamber is not a civic club or a charitab le organization. or i it a part of any governmental bod . The Chamber is a private, non-profit, tax­paying corporation who e member pursue bu iness and communi ty devel­opment by pooling their resource . A chamber' investors (mainly bu ine se a nd organization ) act as an advocate and a leader in the comm uni ty, thereb accomplish ing as a whole what cannot be accompli hed alone.

The Makeup of the Chamber

Chambers of commerce have been in exist n ee in the nited States for over 200 ea rs. Chamber of com­merce have changed in man way , but the basic concept of volunteers work­ing together to create a more prosper­ou bu iness climate has persevered throughout the decade . V\ hat ha changed over the years is the scope and sophi tication of business service and community development. Chambers today are made up of a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the mem­bership, and facilitated by a paid staff. Volunt er (with taffas i ta nce) work on committ to accompli h the pro­grams and v nts that a chamber has planned for the year.

in the fourfold capacity of information resource, bu in e s advocate, commu­nity development, and the networking facilitator.

Information Resource When con id ring relocation to a

particular area, bu ine e and resi­dents alike contact the area chamber of commerce for information on the community. On a daily ba i the cham­ber handle reque t for community maps, and information such as demo­graphic , chool , hou ing and recre­ation opportunitie . Chamber mem­bers also u e thi information to assi t/ attract potential emplo ee to their firm. Lists of organization , place of worship, and travel brochure are a! o available through local hambers of Commerce and Convention and Vi itor' Bureaus.

Business Referral Programs: The chamber i the fir t place con umer and bu ine se call to a k for a referral to a reputable compan '·

Man chamber give new r idents a Greet r Packet that introduce th bu ine s community to there id nt b ' wa of coupon , giv a~ a or p ci lty

adverti ing. List and label of cham­ber member and the total bu in e community can be generated from most chamber office .

Monthly Newsletter: Mo t cham­ber of commerce end a month! new letter or magazine to their mem­b rs a part of their member hip ben­efit . Thi communication erve to keep member informed of chamber upcoming ev nt , committee progre , legi lative i sue , member new and u ually welcome new member ob­tained that month. Distribution var­ie wide ly on the ize of th chamber, but it is routinely ent to the member-hip, and ometime to the entire bu i­

ne community or area.

Business Advocate hambers of commerce erve a a

Providing a forum for busin to xpre their need to local , tate and federal representative i accom­pli hed through government peaker , month] new letter article , regulator a i tance, and current update ofleg­i lation that affects them. orne cham­ber form P CS (political action coun­cils) that lobby on behalf of area busi­nesse . P C are formed via a epa­rate financial entity.

Example of area of concern to bu ine are tran portation, infra-tructure, nvironment, afety, taxe ,

employment law, tate and f deral regulation , health in urance, and lo­cal ordinance .

Community Development

ebrations. Without donation from chamber members (local businesses) these events in your town would n ever take place.

Leadership programs are created by chambers to en ure a continuing source of skilled, motiva ted leaders fo r the community. These programs are u ually d esigned for current and po­tential leader to refine th eir leader­ship skills and increase their awareness of opportunitie for lead er hip within th e community.

Busine s-Educatio n Partnerships and Job Shadowing programs ar e fre­quently e t up within the business and the education communi ty. Smart busi­ness people know that our schools pro­vide the future job market. As i ting our chool in keeping up vvith tech­no logy, and helping them train our stu­dents for toda 's careers, can only h elp business to mo rrow.

Networking Facilitator An important part of a cha mbe r 's

mission should be to pro mote the ir communit as th e "be t place" to pur­chase goods a nd services. But just as important, or eve n more so, i its mi s­sion to a ttract, retain and d evelop busi­ne s in the communi ty.

Chapter Excellence is a term with which we are quite familiar, but what does the term mean to u a member of Alpha Sigma Tau? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, excel­lence is defined as having a superior or valuable quality. The e qualitie can be translated to qur co llegiate and alumnae chapters, as our chapter should strive to pos es these qualities and be excellent chapters.

Chapter Excellence (previo usly known as Chapter Efficiency) has been with Alpha Sigma Tau from almost the very beginning. A reference to Chap­ter Excellence can be found in the minutes of the Seventh ational Con­vention held in 1939. A motion wa pa ed that Alpha Sigma Tau would reward collegiate and alumnae chap­ter with the highe t efficiency in all departments. Over the year , Alpha Sigma Tau ha improved and upgraded the Chapter Excellence program that exi ts today. Thi program i a mea-ure of the tatus, progress , and

achievement of collegiate and alum­nae chapters. The Chapter Excellence program qualifie the good standing of collegiate and alumnae chapter and determine their e ligibili ty tore­ceive national award and vote at Con­vention.

Specifically, collegiate chapter are evaluated in five area :

1. Report Submission The Chapter Excellence program

encourages communication betw·een the collegiate chapters and the national organization through the use of reports. Report deadlines have been established to ensure accountabilily on the part of the collegiate chapters. The amount of points awarded for report ubmission depends on the completene s of the report and the postmark date.

2. National Convention Attendance Communication is further en­

hanced through attendance at ra­tional Conventions. A National Con­vention affords the opportunity to come together to learn , share, and conduct sorority busine s. It is a ma­jor benefit of being a member of ana­tional sorority.

THE ANCHOR/ Falll994

3. Regional Leadership Workshop Attendance Regional Leader hip Workshops

are another opportunity to nhance commun ication between co ll egiate chapters and the national organization. Chapters from a geographical region and National Staff members come to­gether at a central location for a week­end of learning and haring. A variety of topic relevant to collegiate chapters i covered during the weekend.

4. Financial Responsibility The financial responsibility of a

co ll eg iate chapter is promoted through the timely payment of all dues, fee , and insurance premiums. Points are awarded ba ed on the complete­ne of the report and the po tmark dates. Deadline have been established to ensure accountabi lity on the part of the collegiate chapters.

5. Academic Standing Scholarship is a major priority of

a ll coll egiate chapters. Points are awarded based on the chapter' cumu­lative grade point average. Any chap­ter ranked #1 on its campus is awarded bonus points.

The Chapter Excellenc program is somewhat different for alumnae chapter . Alumnae chapter are evalu­ated in one area, the submission of reports. As with collegiate chapter re­ports, alumn ae chapter reports are a major form of communication be­tween the alumnae chapter and th e national organization.

Alpha Sigma Tau recently held its 30th ational Convention in Buffalo . The Convention theme of "Looking Beyond ... " is appropriate when on id­e ring the Chapter Excellence pro­gram. As Alpha Sigma Tau approaches it Centennial in 1999 and the 21 st century, each collegiate and alumnae chapter mu t trive to pos ess tho qualities that describe a n exce ll ent chapter. By ach ieving excellence in the evaluated area , this can be acco m­plished.

Best wi he s on achieving your Chapter Exce llence,
