One Hundred Years ... A Celebration, An Honor

BY: M ARTHA DROUYOR D ECAMP, ALPHA

Happy Centennial Anniversary! What an exci ting time to be a i ter on the Alpha Sigma Tau time line. It i a time to be grateful for the pa t and a time to promise those who lit our way that we will continue to light the way for the next I 00 years.

Times have changed ince our Founder formed their club. Our dre code and hairstyle are different, we can vote, and we can communicate via the internet. The pa t century ha seen count less change in our world ; but through all of the change , Alpha Sigma Tau ha tood firm for it values.

We can celebrate this anniversary with pride, because of the wonderfu l women who volunteered their time, talent, and energy during our fir t I 00 years. It is because of them that we are firmly rooted in our founding principles-- principles that have been pre erved by every i ter who came before us. The fact that you and I are here at thi s milestone on AST' time line is a mere coincidence of our birth date. But, let u take advantage of the occasion to celebrate by rededicating ourselve to each other and to continuing to preserve our ideals for tho e who will follow.

As part of our dedication to thi celebration, let us each increa e our participation in Alpha Sigma Tau . If you are a collegian, promi e your elf to be faithful to your chapter sisters and remember to join an alumnae chapter after graduation. The joys of your alumnae days wi II far out number your collegiate day . If you are an alumna and are not in an alumnae chapter, join one. If there i n't one near you , then tart one. If you are in an alumnae chapter, con ider contributing more by a i ting a collegiate chapter and/or being on staff. There are many need , both large and mall. I am certain there is a need that fit your talent and kill . We need your participation to make the next century as g loriou a the fir t.

The time line in this issue g ive u a g limpse of our pa t and bring u to the pre ent, but it doe not end here. It will continue a we bring our traditions into the second century. One hundred year from now what of our achievement will be on the 200th anni er ary time line? I a k you to join me in making a difference and make our mark on the AST time line.

Remembering Our Roots Alpha Sigma Tau is the result of the positi ve vi ion,

creative re ourcefulne sand in pi red integrity of the women wbo started it a ll. It is to these eight women that we owe our gratitude and re pect, fo r without the ir perseverance, Alpha Sigma Tau would not ex i t a we know it today.

We ometime fo rget to pay homage to the efine ladies , but the pa t 100 years were made pos ible by these pio­neer who conceived an idea and con tructed a reality.

Remember the e eight women who fo unded the Alpha Chapter in Yp ilanti , Michigan on November 4, 1899 ....

They are not ju t e ight names you memorized as part of your pl edge program, they are the very core of Alpha Sigma Tau' foundation.

To make their dream a reality, these women e lected three dedicated faculty women at Mi chi gan State Normal College to guide them in the ir pur ui t: Mr . E.A. Lyman, Miss Ada A Norton, and Mi ss Abi gail Pearce. Although all three advisers contributed to the ucces of A T , it wa Mr . Lyman who went on to organize seven more chapters of AJpha Sigma Tau on other uni ver ity campuse . Her diligent corre pondence with the As ociation of Education Sororitie en med our as ociati on membershi p. And it was in Mr . Ly man's home that the fir t meeting was held to develop pl ans for the nationali zation of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Ftom that point forward , and with many more dedi cated women to lead the way, Alpha Sigma Tau has continued to grow with the integrity and spirit set fort h in our constitu­ti on. To these women and to every woman who ha foUowed through the pa t century, Alpha Sigma Tau re­mains an organi zation ba ed on its purpose and it idea l . It remains an organi zation that every i ter can and hou ld be proud of.

A Rich History in Pine Mountain Kimberly Golden Benner, Beta Epsilon

One hundred years ago eight women gathered together and began a dream that would become Alpha Sigma Tau. Just ix months prior to that gathering, a woman named Katherine Pettit made her first trip to Harlan County, Kentucky, vowing to return and build a school. Thu began the dream that would become Pine Moun­tain Settlement School.

Miss Pettit, along with Ethel de Long returned to the north ide of the Appalachia mountain twelve years after that first trip to fulfi ll a dream and a promise to the people of Harlan County. With the support of Miss Pettit, Mi s de Long, and Mr. and Mr . William Creech, who donated the land for the school , Pine Mountain became a reality and opened its door in 1913.

AlphaSigmaTau'sfir tin ightinto Pine Mountain came when Carrie Staehle (Alpha) and her farruly moved toColumbus, Ohioin 1937. Sheaffili­ated with St. James Episcopal Church in Columbus whereshemetMaryAnne Plattenburgh, the Reverend 's wife and a former teacher at Pine Mountain Settlement School. Mrs. Staehle was intrigued and interes ted in Mrs. Platten burgh 's stories about the school and when AST di cus ed a possible national social service project, Mr . Staehle sugges ted Pine Mountain.

Our first ational Social Service Chairman, Lucile Steen, researched Pine Mountain Settlement School and recommended that Alpha Sigma Tau adopt the school as a permanent na­tional service project. It wa a natural fit for our orority, becau eat the time AST wa till a member of the A so­ciation of Education Sororities.

At the March 2, 1945 National Council board meeting it wa decided that money from our National Social Service Annual Fund be donated to Pine Mountain and a dome tic project be organized to as i t the chool.

Th e mill dam at Harlan, May / , 1899, the day Katherine Pel/it would fi rst cross Pine Mountain and the dream of a school would be set in motion.

So began our hi tory with thi unique and wonderful educational in­titution that ha changed and haped

the li ve on many children. From the fir t pledge cia e of

1945 that boxed up and ent much needed chool supplie to the 20,000 donated last year, our upport of thi in titution has remained teadfa t and grown beyond our dream .

"The women of Alpha Sigma Tau don't realize just how much they mean to u ," ay Robin Lambert, Executive Director of Pine Mountain ettlement School.

"Your members support makes a real difference for our planning, our morale, and for us to be able to dream of even bet­ter things to co1ne at Pine Mountain."

- Robin Lambert

"We truly appreciate everything Alpha Sigma Tau ha done for Pine Mountain over the year . ot ju t the financial upport, but the goodwill and genera ity of it member make a real difference," M . Lambert add . "Your i ter who have vi ited here over the year have alway made a difference in our day . It' that con-tant upport, intere t and care that

mean o much to u ." From it humble root a a board­

ing chool for children who had to travel four hour to chool to the prawling educational and environ­

Alpha Sigma Tau's Future .... Delta Omicron Becomes Newest Chapter Bv: TRACY Bo n, ZETA

North Carolina We leyan College in Rocky Mount, NC wa the ite for the Installation of the Delta Omicron Chapter in May. It wa the culmina­tion of many month of hard work by the ladies of Delta Omicron.

The fe tivitie began on Friday, April 30, with a reception held on campu . It was attended by campu official , including CWC President John White, and Vice President/ Greek Adviser Dr. Tyrone Bledsoe. Many parent al o joined the si ters and alumnae for refreshments and ocialization.

Following the reception, the In­stallation team treated the sisters to a special ceremony. It was a perfect way for the alumnae to how our newe t i ter that the special bonds of isterhood can continue to form and grow long after their college days are pa t.

Saturday, May l , was the day the Delta Omicron women had been wait­ing for. The day began with the In tallation Ceremony in the campus chapel. Mrs. Lenore (Sybil) King erved a the Installing Officer.

The In tallation team included Lara Cegala, director of expansion; Tracy Bond, national colony adviser; Carol Cooper, pa t national council member; Laurie Suson, chapter ad­vi er; and Dee Woomer, assistant chapter adviser. Eleven women, along with their campus adviser, Dr. Debra Gover-Fischer were initiated a mem­bers of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Later that evening, sisters, friends and family gathered for the Installa­tion banquet. During the dinner, Mrs. King gave the Keynote address re­flecting on the ways sorority involve­ment enhances our lives. Later Miss

Delta Omicron sister at North Carolina Wesleyan College poses for a ponrait after their In stallation Ceremony, May 1, 1999.

Cegala presented chapter president Erin Polley with the Chapter Charter. Miss Bond gave Dr. White a certifi­cate recognizing the establishment of an AST chapter at NCWC.

The chapter was presented with traditional gift from Alpha Sigma Tau,

ational Council , and the advisory team. Mis Cegala and Mr . King announced the fund-raising efforts to e tablish a Delta Omicron scholarship through the National Foundation . The chapter also pre ented gifts to the se­niors , the advisory team, and to Jen LaBonte who was instrumental in or­ganizing the banquet. The evening ended with the traditional Candlelight Ceremony, led by Miss Bond.

Being a small group, the women of Delta Omicron know they have much work to do, not only to grow and flourish as a chapter of AST, but as leaders in the redevelopment of the Greek system at NCWC. The enthusi-

asm and dedication of the e women and their advisers will help them face the challenge that lie ahead.

Congratulations to Dr. Debra Glover-Fischer, Angela Anderson, Karolyn Braun, Crystal Carroll, Kim Cros , Lynorra Hall , Tiffany Jone , Jen LaBonte, Jody Peter , Erin Polley, Katie Thigpen and Jessica Walston .

ANew Pavilion for Pine Mountain

Pine Mountain Settlement School will soon begin construc­tion on an outdoor pavilion that promises to be as beautiful as the rest of the campus.

This outdoor pavilion will be used for a variety of activities and purposes including: folk dancing, academic and craft classes, dra­matic and musical performances, picnics, and other social gather­ings. It will be erected on the site of the Burkham School Building, which burned in the 1980s.

The design of the structure will follow the architectural designs of the other buildings on Pine Mountain's campus -- primarily tone and wood. The pavilion

will have a floor plan similar to Laurel House, with a stone fire­place at one end, a stage, covered terrace, wraparound porch, and space for large gatherings. The cornerstones of the old school building will be incorporated into the stone wall of the pavilion. These cornerstones are inscribed with the words: Truth, Humanity, Honesty, and Self-Control.

Alpha Sigma Tau donations for Pine Mountain Settlement School, from chapters and indi­viduals, have been designated to building this pavilion. This struc­ture -- in addition to being used to promote fellowship and enhance education and programming-- will be a permanent way for Alpha Sigma Tau to contribute a lasting impact for Pine Mountain Settle­ment School.

National Foundation Fund Raising Efforts

The Alpha Sigma Tau National Foundation is pleased to announce that it fund-raising effort conti nue to re­ceive a positive re ponse from ASTs aero the nation.

The most recent fund drive i the Centennial Challenge-- a fri endly com­petition between collegiate chapters. The Challenge's purpose i two-fold. First, the Challenge hould attract first­time donor . In thi re pect, it has been very successfu l. The fund drive en­courages all sisters to make a $ 10 do­nation which is then credited to the collegiate chapter. At the 2000 Con­vention in Birmingham, the chapter that comes closest to its "quota" wi ll be rewarded.

The second purpose is to raise money for national headquarters and Pine Mountain Settlement School. As our sorority approaches its centennial,

the Board of Director would li ke to ignificantly decrea e the headquar­

ter mortgage, as well as the debts incurred during renovati on .

Additionall y, the Board hope to be able to give a considerable donati on to Pine Mountain . Therefore, $5 from each$ LO donati on i going to the Head­quarters Fund, and 5 to Pine Moun­tain Settlement School.

To the delight of many Bo tonians and National Staff, the Bo ton Alum­naeChapterwa installedJune5 , 1999.

In October of 1998 , Shannon Cooney, Sigma; Jessica Smith, Delta Iota ; and Chris Covington , Alpha Lambda, met to discuss the need for an alumnae group in the heart of Boston . The three women decided to hold an open event for area alumnae in con­junction with the 99th Founder's Day celebration. Thirteen alumnae attended and many more requested additional information. The groups first decision wa to form as an alumnae chapter.

The group met each month and di -cu ed how to reach the lofty goal of becomjng an alumnae chapter. They cho e two local philanthropies-- "Mak­ing Strides Against Breast Cancer" and the March of Dimes; elected officers; and discussed plans for future alumnae events.

Ms . Smith worked with members to com­plete the required reports and peti­tion forms and on January 25th the group learned that their petition wa s approved. They continued to meet and ex­ceed installation requirements.

On June 5 , 1999, their dream

"Our hearts' desire is that those who are left to carry on the work of next year may be

the means of forming links which time and change

cannot sever."

~ OuR MISSION: ~r~ -~ The purpose of Alpha Sigma Tau

for ~lie 1). is to promote the ethical, cultural,

~ and social development of its members, specifically:

1. to develop the character of each member through a study of ethics so that she will show in all her relationships sincerity, honesty, love and understanding;

2. to help each member enjoy the cultural advantages in life so that she will know how ·to select those things which are most worthwhile; and

3. to develop in each member the social graces to the extent that she will be able to take her place in life with true dignity and poise.

T he history of many organizations is rich with the dedication of individual members­people endowed with positive vision, creative resourcefulness, and inspired integrity. The founders of Alpha Sigma Tau were women who possessed these qualities. On November 4, 1899, eight college women from Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) formed Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Those founders (p ictured above) are Helene Rice, Adriance Rice, Eva O 'Keefe, Harriet Marx, May Gephart, Mayene Tracy, Mable Chase, and Ruth Dutcher. These eight women inspired a love and dedication to the Sorority, a torch that has been passed through the years. For nearly 100 years, Alpha Sigma Tau has been an active presence at universities and colleges across the United States.
