Dear Sisters,

As this biennium comes to a close, we pause to reflect on Alpha Phi’sprogress over the past two years and on the great promise of thefuture. We have much to celebrate in our sisterhood as we continueto reach milestones in many areas.

In keeping with the culinary theme of this issue, I am happy toshare the ingredients that are part of Alpha Phi’s recipe for success:

•Sophisticated collegiate recruitment program. We have made importantenhancements to our program over the past 10 years, and the investment has yielded greatdividends. Thank you to all of our collegiate and alumnae members who work so hard tomake Alpha Phi the sorority of first choice. Our new member class has never been so large,and our recruiting strength has never been so impressive.

•Super-charged extension efforts. It has been nearly 20 years since extension was ashot as it is today, and Alpha Phi has responded admirably. Thank you to all members whomade the extraordinary colonizations at Oklahoma (Phi), Dartmouth (Iota Kappa),Franklin & Marshall (Zeta Sigma) and Connecticut (Iota Lambda) and revitalizationsat Dayton (Zeta Psi), DePaul (Iota Eta) and UNC/Wilmington (Eta Xi) a reality.We are also proud to report plans to colonize at Alabama and Georgia Tech this fall!

•Top-flight leadership programming. Thank you to all Foundation donors andvolunteers who have made Alpha Phi’s Leadership Initiative possible. Because of you,Alpha Phi is making tremendous strides in building the leadership skills of our collegiatemembers and fostering a values-based culture in our chapters.

•Superb chapter stewardship. Thank you to all members who keep our collegiateand alumnae chapters healthy and strong. Because of you, Alpha Phi’s ideals thrive inchapters across North America, no less than 136 years after our founding.

•Foundation excellence. The Alpha Phi Foundation is a true leader among her peersand brings much prestige to Alpha Phi. Thank you to all Foundation volunteers, staffmembers and donors for keeping the Foundation at the forefront.

•Interfraternal leadership. Alpha Phis continue to make major contributions to theinterfraternal world at the local, regional and inter/national levels. We can never thankyou enough for representing Alpha Phi so well.

It has been an incredible biennium, but this is no time for us to rest on our laurels.The International Executive Board and the Fraternity staff have wonderful plans in storefor the next biennium. We look forward to reporting new initiatives in marketing, alumnaeengagement, collegiate housing and volunteer programming in the near future.

While the items listed above are the more obvious elements of our success, there is asecret ingredient at the heart of Alpha Phi excellence: you! When you, as a woman ofexcellence, identify yourself as an Alpha Phi and express pride in our sisterhood, you bringhonor to Alpha Phi in immeasurable ways. Truly, your loyalty is the most importantingredient of all.

Heart to heart,

Carol Gilbaugh Moran (Beta Psi-San Jose State)and Angela McCarthy Brassinga (Beta Psi-San JoseState), who’ve been friends since going throughrecruitment more than 25 years ago, recentlycollaborated for the first time on a culinary project.

Carol and her husband, Richard, are the ownersof Moran Manor Vineyards in Calistoga, Calif., andAngela is a recipe expert for Sunset Magazine (MenloPark, Calif.). The women spent an evening cookingand creating meals for pairing with Moran Manorwine. The recipes have been featured in the winery’snewsletters.

Sharing a family businessOpened five years ago, Moran Manor hasestablished a strong customer base as well asplacement in several fine restaurants throughout theU.S. The small, family-owned vineyard is dedicatedto a limited production of high-quality, blended redwines.

Their venture into the wine industry began 15years ago when Carol and Richard would take longdrives to calm their youngest son’s colic. The drivesdidn't work, but 75 miles away they discovered andfell in love with a Second Empire Victorian house that was forsale. They purchased and restored it. “Planting a vineyard was anatural progression in the restoration of the house; we learned thatvineyards had been planted on the property as early as 1900,” saysCarol.

Carol now works with the winery full-time, overseeingmarketing, sales, distribution, compliance and finance. Richard isa venture capitalist in Silicon Valley and works part-time withtheir winemaker on vineyard management. Although the coupleand two of their four children live in San Francisco during theschool year, they spend most of the summer and other vacations atthe winery. Carol travels there during the week for private tastingsor special events. She and Richard expect to reverse this balance oftime when their youngest child graduates from high school in afew years.

She says although she had no culinary or wine background, 20years as a public relations executive in Silicon Valley helpedprepare her for the business. “Communicating your key messages

is a critical factor for success in every field,” she says.“Educating ourselves about a different industry has been both

challenging and rewarding,” Carol continues. “Even with fiveyears and several vintages under our belts, we still feel like we'relearning something every day.”

Carol has taken several cooking classes and loves to cook forfamily and friends, including many Alpha Phi sisters who’ve spentweekends at Moran Manor. She also likes experimenting withwine pairings at meals, as she did with Angela.

“Our goal has been to make great wines that people want todrink with friends,” she says. “It is so rewarding to hear customerstell us about our wine being part of a special evening or occasion.”

“Wine culture gets under your skin,” Carol says. “It was part ofus before we realized we wanted to play an active part in it – thehistory, the terroir, the rituals, the passion, the aromas, the cyclesof the planting and harvest. This region produces some of themost coveted California red wines. We foresaw that we couldbuild a family business and share it for years to come.”

Sister's work combines passions“I have always loved cooking for family and friends and liked the

idea of getting paid to cook, but restaurant work means nights,weekends and holidays. I knew this would not work for a singlemother,” says Angela. “But my job with Sunset is a perfect fit. Ican't believe I get paid to cook!”

Angela began her career at Sunset Magazine in 1988 in themarketing department, but the food lover and avid home cookmost enjoyed the aspects of her job that involved following whatwas happening in the food editorial section of the magazine.

In 1994, tragedy struck her family when her husband waskilled during a police training exercise. Shortly after, Angeladecided to stop working full-time to spend more time with her1-year-old son. In 1996, she returned to Sunset part-time, workingin various areas, and eventually secured a spot in the editorial testkitchen as a retester.

In the position, Angela makes sure readers will successfully andsimply be able to prepare recipes in their own homes. “We keeptrack of timing, weights and measurements so they are clear andaccurate,” she says. “We also do the shopping to be sure theingredients are easy to find.”

As with Angela, none of the many retesters at the magazinehave culinary training because the goal is to replicate the homecooking experience for readers. Also like Angela, most came byway of personal references and then proved themselves in thekitchen.

“It's all about networking and letting people know what youwant, and doors are opened,” she says, crediting the personal

connections made through heryears at the magazine,participation in companyevents and not burning anybridges for her success.

Angela says working onfood and wine pairings as shedid with Carol is another funpart of her job. “Wine andfood is a perfect match,especially in the West where somany of our wonderful winesare made and available.Sometimes we start with thewine and find the best recipeto compliment it, and othertimes we do just the opposite,”she says.

When she worked with the magazine’s wine editor, SaraSchneider, to find dishes that would work well for Carol and herhusband’s wine, for example, they had five dishes in mind, butnarrowed it down to two after trying the dishes and various winestogether.

Angela says she also keeps in touch with other Alpha Phisisters, some of whom remain her dearest friends. “I rememberwith great fondness sitting down to dinner with sisters at thechapter house. I especially loved our formal Monday night dinnerswhen we dressed up and sang grace,” says Angela. “I thinkbringing people together around the table is very important, and Ido it as often as possible.”

Not surprisingly, another part of Angela’s life relates to this. Sheis attending San Francisco State University part-time to pursue amaster’s degree in English literature. “My thesis will likely beabout the role of food or the family table in literature. I'd like totake a look at what food tells the reader about time, place, peopleand culture,” she says.

“My son, now 15, and I sit at the table every night, no TV,cloth napkins, prayer and most nights, candles too,” Angela says.“Even though it's just the two of us, we're a family, and a calmfamily dinner is very important.”

Diane Jacobson (Gamma Zeta-Puget Sound) and Nadine ReamesJohnson (Beta Upsilon-Oregon State) launched San Carlos, Calif.,-based Sous Kitchen, Inc. in March 2006 with the intention of mak-ing dinner time easier.

Sous Kitchen is an easy meal planning and assembly commercialgrade kitchen that helps busy families prepare fresh, delicious andaffordable entrées – similar to having a personal sous chef. “Our goalis to offer great food in one’s own kitchen – the kind they wouldcook for themselves if they had all the time in the world,” saysDiane.

Customers have the option of coming into the kitchen toassemble up to 15 meals using Sous Kitchen’s recipes and all-naturalingredients or having Sous Kitchen staff do the work for them forpick-up or delivery.

The idea evolved when Diane and Nadine were disappointed in alocal meal assembly establishment they tried for the first time. Thenegative experience prompted Nadine to consider creating her ownsimilar business, and she convinced Diane to be her partner. Today,the business consists of 15-20 employees and an additional businesspartner.

Both women share a love of food and cooking. Nadine, whoworks full-time as the business’ CEO, has worked in finance andoperations for more than 15 years and spent several years in the foodservice industry. Diane, who now works part-time as vice president,worked in marketing and marketing sciences in the pharmaceuticaland high tech industries for more than 10 years.

“I always wanted to open a restaurant or bar, but the hours arenot always conducive to family life,” says Nadine. This ventureallows them to spend time with their husbands and children; Dianehas a five-year-old son, and Nadine has a five-year-old daughter andfour-year-old son.

“Three years of developing recipes has added a lot of commentaryto our family dinners,” says Nadine. “Even our children offer theirsuggestions about recipes.”

Since it began, Sous Kitchen added a corporate program, wherean outside company delivers their food to employees at 25 localcorporations. They hope for 100 by the end of the year. Althoughthey’re doing much more pre-assembly of frozen food kits now, thewomen say they’ll always provide the kitchen setting for customers toprepare food on-site as well.

“We will always keep the focus on the customer and great food.The best reward for me is positive customer feedback. We get some

great personal e-mails,” says Nadine, noting one particular e-mailabout a customer’s children who wouldn’t eat anything but fast fooduntil they tried Sous Kitchen. “It’s wonderful to hear someone say‘you changed my life.’”

They admit there has been much work involved. “The first threemonths we were both in the kitchen every day, doing everythingfrom chopping food to taking out the garbage,” says Nadine. “Theexperience has provided a great understanding of the business. Weare still very hands on.”

“Nadine is the CEO, but she still mops floors sometimes,” addsDiane. “When it’s a crazy time, we all pitch in.”

Sous Kitchen stands out among competitors because of its globalmenu. At the same time, they have family-friendly offerings that aremade from scratch using unique, local ingredients that are fresh,quality and seasonal. The menu changes monthly, with 12 newentrees each month and four or five customer favorites, or repeatrecipes. Diane and Nadine admit they have different tastes when itcomes to the menu, which is advantageous to the customer becausethey offer a wide variety.

“It has been much more rewarding then I ever expected,” saysDiane, adding she gains satisfaction from “knowing people in ourarea are sitting down to dinner eating the food we created, and likingit!”

After 29 years of experience in the food and wine industry, LoriHirsch Stokoe (Beta Alpha-Illinois) launched her own food blog inJune 2007. Today, the Taste With The Eyes blog has readership on sixcontinents.

“Taste With The Eyes is a visual food blog, meant to titillateand inspire the cook,” says Lori, who takes most of thephotographs for the blog. “Cooking, food photography and foodstyling are my hobbies. The food preparation photos are analternative to giving detailed recipes. When I read a cookbook, Iusually cook by intuition from the picture.”

Lori became interested in working in the culinary field whenshe was a waitress in college. She went on to work as a cook, thenrestaurant manager in everything from fast food to fine dining,and eventually began a wine sales and marketing company.

Her 22 years of work in the food business and seven years inthe wine industry provided an abundance of experience, as well asrewards. “I am fortunate to have the opportunity to dine at thecountry's best restaurants, so I also include restaurant reviews onthe blog,” she says. “And with my background in the wine

business, I occasionally include a wine review orrecommendation.”

In addition to her own food blog, Lori is also a featuredpublisher for the foodie Web site, Foodbuzz.com. “Food bloggingis one of my passions,” says Lori. Her advice to those interested inbeginning their own blog: “It is important to have a perspective, apoint of view, something of value to share.”

Lori currently serves Alpha Phi as finance adviser for theCSU/Long Beach (Gamma Kappa) chapter, as the chapter’shouse corporation board president and as a regional housingspecialist for the Southwest region. She served as chapter adviserto Gamma Kappa since 1997 before stepping down in June. Shealso was a member of the international housing standingcommittee for the 2006-08 biennium. Lori says she has enjoyedintroducing her passion to her Alpha Phi sisters, “Over the years Ihave enjoyed inviting collegians and advisers to my home formany fabulous meals and sharing my recipes and cookingtechniques.”

Food, Wine Connoisseur Creates Food Blog

“Good food and drink define my life in many ways,” says DewiBolhassan Rainey (Beta-Northwestern), owner of Red Feet WineMarket and Spirit Provisions, a retail wine store in Ithaca, N.Y.

Opened in April 2007, it is Dewi’s first retail store, but she hasalways been interested in food, having spent part of her youth inMalaysia, where good, fresh food is valued and the norm. She wasfounder, owner and operator of Maxie's Supper Club and Oyster Bar(also in Ithaca) for more than seven years; one of her roles was tohandle the wine buying and training for the restaurant. Food serviceand hospitality positions have been her focus since high school. Sheeven spent time traveling and working in the Western U.S., honingher restaurant, service and wine knowledge.

Her only prior experience with retail was with a clothing storeduring college. She says that negative experience now influences howshe runs Red Feet – with helpful, well-trained staff who are not pushy.“If we do our jobs well, we'll bring back customers again becausewe've added value to their shopping experience,” says Dewi. “I'mmuch more interested in that than in a one-time sale.”

Dewi chooses high quality, handcrafted wines that express a senseof the place they came from and conveys their stories to customers.The store is part of a new breed of shops that provide one-on-oneservice with passion, knowledge and quality with a goal of educatingcustomers and making wines approachable to everyone.

Red Feet Wine Market places a strong emphasis on food and winepairing, as well as finding a wine that fits the taste profile and pricepoint that suits the customer. “One of my greatest rewards is seeingour customers grow when it comes to their taste in wine,” says Dewi.

“From growing our own vegetables to eating organic, local,seasonal food as much as possible, to always trying out newrestaurants, to enjoying the right bottle of wine with a full sit-down,homemade dinner with friends and family, I prioritize lifestyleexperiences related to food,” Dewi says. “I look forward to a futurewhere people become increasingly aware of the sources of their foodand wine and the respect for high integrity products continues togrow.”

pFrom best practices to Greek panels and a whole lot moreBest practices presentations in the Mid-Atlantic and Create YourOwn Topic roundtable discussions in the South Central and NorthCentral Midwest gave collegiate members and advisers a suitcase fullof ideas. A panel of campus Greek advisors in the Southwestprovided collegiate members and advisers information about thelatest campus trends and ways to build positive relationships withtheir universities. Project Phi, loosely based on the hit televisionshow “Project Runway,” gave collegiate members in the UpperMidwest an opportunity to “design” members that exemplify thequalities of Alpha Phi. Orientation and fundamentals sessionspeppered the Northeast conference agenda. The Southeast’s ownEmerging Leaders’ track provided a forum for young collegiatemembers to begin building the skills that will enable them to leadtheir chapters in the next few years. A special awards ceremony wasa Pacific Northwest highlight.

In addition, the North Central Midwest, South Central andUpper Midwest regions invited area alumnae to celebrate theirsignificant membership anniversaries, thus demonstrating thatsisterhood is for a lifetime.

Leadership Initiative spotlightThe Leadership Initiative, funded by the Alpha Phi Foundation,was introduced to collegiate chapters during fall 2006. Theinnovative program is based on our values and designed to help ourcollegiate members become leaders of tomorrow. The Initiative’sthree main components are Chapter-based Instruction (CBI),Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) and an opportunity for alumnaeconnection.

Critical to the success of the Chapter-based Instruction is thevolunteer facilitator. Special CBI facilitator training was heldfocusing on session content and facilitation skills. Local alumnaeand chapter advisers were invited to participate in the skills portionof this training in the North Central Midwest and Southwestregions.

Two Emerging Leaders Institutes were held at Butler Universityduring the summer. The benefits and valuable teachings of theinaugural ELI were enthusiastically presented by ELI graduates whoattended Regional Conferences as newly elected officers.

As most of you know, on Feb. 14, 2008, our school experienced a tragedy. Five of our fellow Northern Illinois University studentswere murdered, countless others were injured and our lives were forever shattered. That Thursday afternoon was filled with a mix ofconfusion, sadness and fear. I was thankful that by 8:00 p.m. that evening, all members of Northern Illinois (Epsilon Delta) wereaccounted for and safe. Finding 65 members was not an easy task. Our cell phones were not working, some girls were in lock down oncampus, and some had already left to go home. It is hard to sum up the impact that day had on all of us. We were given a week off ofschool to be with our families and grieve, but upon returning to the campus, we all knew it would never be the same. Crosses stoodnext to our student center, flowers and posters lined our streets, and our campus was a constant reminder of that dreadful day.

Months have now gone by, but our lives have been forever changed. Through the support of our Alpha Phi sisters throughout theUnited States and Canada we have started to overcome the sadness of that Thursday. Smiles are reappearing on faces, and slowly we aretrying to pick up the pieces and move on. This is not an easy thing to do, and we arereminded daily of the tragedy we endured.

We could not have gotten through this without the hundreds of people whooffered support and prayers. It was amazing that girls who did not even know usreached out, and we have come together to overcome this tragedy. On behalf of theladies of the Epsilon Delta chapter at Northern Illinois University, I would like tothank everyone for their support, prayers and comfort. I have never been prouder tobe an Alpha Phi. This tragedy will not define us.

Sincerely,Michelle Rzepka, Epsilon Delta President Northern Illinois University

Letter from Epsilon Delta Regarding the NIU Shootings

P A G E T E N A L P H A P H I Quarterly

During the Pacific Northwest Regional Conference, sistersshow support for Epsilon Delta and NIU.

In fall 2006, Alpha Phi Fraternity launched an innovative initiative for collegiate memberscalled the Leadership Initiative. This exciting and new program is intended to help ourcollegians become the leaders of tomorrow.

The Leadership Initiative is based upon our values, the cornerstone of our sisterhood. Itprovides a sense of accountability, responsibility and integrity among its participants and ismeant to promote a feeling of loyalty and lifetime commitment to Alpha Phi. There arethree main components of the Leadership Initiative: Chapter-based Instruction (CBI), theEmerging Leaders Institute (ELI) and an opportunity for alumnae connection.

The Fraternity is most grateful to the Alpha Phi Foundation for their support infunding the Leadership Initiative. We are very proud to be on the forefront of theleadership movement for women.

Alpha Phi has finished its second full year of its CBI programs. Every collegiate chapterhas the opportunity to participate in interactive sessions based on the Alpha Phi values ofcharacter development, service and leadership, intellectual development, and sisterhoodand loyalty. Sessions are facilitated by Alpha Phi alumnae, demonstrating a lifetimecommitment to Alpha Phi.

These sessions have received high marks from both collegians and alumnae facilitators.The thought-provoking discussions, the positive environment and the caring facilitatorshave all contributed to the CBI’s success.

Read what our women said about this year’s sessions:

Character Development: Personal Accountability“It will help me become a better leader and sister in my chapter.”

-Kaitlin Marsh (Upsilon-Washburn)

Intellectual Development: Beyond Brainstorming“I thought it was very helpful to brainstorm creative ideas for new things we can do in ourchapter. We came up with some great ideas for improving recruitment, marketing, gettinggirls to come to meetings and our philanthropy event.”-Megan Baker (Zeta Beta-Loyola Marymount)

Sisterhood and Loyalty: Holding Others Accountable“I understand conflict is necessary for change and progression, and I have always tried toconfront issues or evoke change in a mature, dispassionate manner in order to reduce hardfeelings, but now I feel more trained and confident.”-Joleen Kleinbach (Iota Gamma-University of the Pacific)

Service and Leadership: The Untitled Leader“I realized that while creating a timeline of how I've served and helped others throughoutmy life, I can continue to do so in the future in my career.”-Jennifer Yang (Theta Alpha-Linfield)

Next year’s CBI sessions will tackle new topics under the Alpha Phi values umbrella:ethical decision making and motivation. For more information on these topics and CBI,visit http://www.alphaphi.org/Leadership_Initiative/CBI.html

These leaders came together at the Alpha Phi facility onButler University’s campus in Indianapolis, Ind., for a unique, five-day intensive trainingopportunity facilitated by trained Alpha Phi facilitators.

Before hitting the road, the ELCs attend anextensive three week training program at theExecutive Office to learn more about Alpha Phi andstart building the skills they will need to succeed onthe road. Aside from day-to-day assistance,additional training and professional developmenttakes place at the office in December and Marchduring comprehensive debriefing sessions.

This year, the ELC team will develop in the areasof résumé building, networking and job searching at

three junctures: during summer training to identifyeach consultant’s needs and abilities; mid-yeardebriefing to evaluate and expand upon the progressthey have made; and end-of-the-year debriefing tolearn how to apply their acquired skills to futurepositions. Ashley Ellis (Beta Epsilon-Arizona),2007-08 ELC, says the most valuable part of herELC experience was, “the incredible amount oftransferable skills to any job industry,” such asproject management, strategic analysis andcommunication skills.

In June, the 2008-09 ELC team attendedConvention in Scottsdale, Ariz., to receive training,learn about the Fraternity and meet some of thevolunteers and collegians with whom they will workduring their visits.

“Attending Convention as an ELC not onlyallowed me the opportunity to meet Alpha Phisfrom across the U.S. and Canada, but turnedstrangers into familiar faces as I traveled to theirrespective chapters,” remembers Heather Pollock(Theta Nu-Appalachian State), 2006-07 ELC.

No matter the reason, the ELC position is anunforgettable experience that will directly affecthundreds of Alpha Phis across the United Statesand Canada. Who will be Alpha Phi’s next ELCs?It could be you!

MONICA L. MCCOMB ASHLEY NUTTER REBECCA RINKER SAMANTHA “SAM” STAWICKICOURTNEY MCCALLUM

On her best days, Kimberly Corban (Delta Gamma-NorthernColorado) seems very much the same happy, bubbly college studentshe was when she joined Alpha Phi in 2005. But in the daysfollowing her attack in 2006, she hardly recognized herself.

Thanks to the faithful care of her family and her Alpha Phisisters – and support from the Alpha Phi Foundation’s Forget MeNot Fund – Kimberly is not only recovering, she’s doing everythingshe can to be a source of strength and education for other victims ofsexual assault.

It was just after finals, in the early morning hours of May 12,2006. Kimberly slept soundly in her apartment off campus.Suddenly she was awakened in her bed, held down by a stranger. Hehad covered her head and told her not to make a sound. The rapelasted for over an hour. During that time, she remembered readingabout a rape victim who had befriended her attacker so he wouldn’tharm her further. Somehow she stayed calm and did the same,talking with him for almost an hour afterward.

As the sun rose that morning, her attacker slipped out of herapartment. Preserving every bit of evidence she could, she got out ofbed and immediately called the police. Her composure during theattack paid off, and her ability to recall the details she had recordedin her mind, including the sound of his voice, eventually led to his

arrest.Kimberly quit her

job and moved homethat summer to livewith her parents, butwas plagued withmonths of sleeplessnights, fear of beingalone and seizures,which doctorsattributed to post-traumatic stressdisorder. She had toleave school twice. But through it all, her Alpha Phi sisters were byher side, frequently driving more than an hour to be with her whenshe needed them.

“My parents weren’t [members of Greek-letter organizations] andwere a little hesitant when I joined. After experiencing the love andsupport from people they didn’t even know, they now understandthat I’m a part of something special. It was a big deal for them towitness how truly amazing Alpha Phi really is,” she shares.

Things got difficult financially when Kimberly’s mom stopped

e “I can’t imaginewhat my life would

have been like if my65 sisters hadn’t been

there for me. Theirlove and the supportfrom the Foundation

means I can wakeup in the morning

and do what’simportant to me.”

-Kimberly Corban(Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado)

working to help care for her. The bills for hospital visits, therapy andmedication began to pile up. A long-time friend and chapter adviserJill Herdman Trotter (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) suggestedthe Foundation’s Forget Me Not Fund, which made a “world ofdifference” to Kimberly and her family.

“There are no words to express how thankful we are. It’s not justabout the money; it’s about support from people I don’t even knowwho were willing to reach out to me and my family in our time ofneed. The encouragement we felt through this grant was amazing,”shares Kimberly.

When it was time to go to court, 65 Alpha Phis filled thecourtroom. Their presence gave her the strength to tell the story thatput her attacker in prison for 24 years to life. After discussing it withher parents and the district attorney, she released her name to themedia on the same day the guilty verdict was rendered.

“At first I didn’t want anyone to know what had happened. Butonce I began reading and learning more about sexual assault, Idecided it was worth it if I could help just one other personthrough this,” she explained.

The first newspaper article ran with Kimberly’s name onSaturday. By Monday morning, a 73-year-old woman with apending rape case had contacted the district attorney. Afterreading the article, the woman said, “If Kimberly could do it, socould I.” The woman agreed to testify against her attacker, and inSeptember he was put away for life.

The events of May 2006 changed Kimberly’s life, but they alsochanged her perspective.

“When something difficult comes up, I know I can handle itbecause of what I’ve been through. I take more time to notice thegood things in life – big and small. I can’t always sleep alone, andsometimes I’m scared between the hours of 5:00-7:00 a.m., butI’m not taking my life for granted. I’m ready to take on the world.I feel like I have a purpose now,” she says.

When she returned to school, Kimberly changed her major topsychology so she could pursue a career as a therapist, helping

educate and assist other survivors of assault. She’s already starteddown that road, speaking at campus events like “Take Back theNight” last October, as well as numerous high school and collegeclasses, advocate groups and survivor support groups. She was alsoinvited to share her story at the State of Colorado’s VictimAssistance and Law Enforcement annual conference in May. The“Oprah Winfrey Show” staff has contacted her, and she is hopefulabout an opportunity to appear.

“I’ve had people come up to me after I speak and share storiesthey’ve never shared with anyone. I’m humbled by that experience –that something I’ve said would give someone else a little bit ofextra strength to come forward,” Kimberly says.

“I feel like this is my calling. You know you’ve found yourcareer path when it doesn’t matter how much money you’re goingto make. Today I’m not a rape victim; I’m a survivor. I can’timagine what my life would have been like if my 65 sisters hadn’tbeen there for me. Their love and the support from theFoundation means I can wake up in the morning and do what’simportant to me. It seems strange to say, but I’m really happywith how things have turned out,” she says.

Service. It is a core value of Alpha Phi. And it is particularlyevident in the lives of a group of pioneering young sisters whodevoted their lives to serving others through medicine.

It is well known that studying to become a physician is noteasy. But imagine what it was like for a 19th century woman: notonly was the road rigorous, but often the road was not evenopen!

Despite the odds, numerous Alpha Phi members earned theirmedical degrees in the 19th and early 20th centuries and went onto serve as physicians in clinics, hospitals and private practices.Their achievements are astonishing given the difficulties theyfaced.

America’s first female physician, Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910), was rejected by 16 medical schools before being acceptedat Geneva Medical College in New York. (Her application wasthought to be a practical joke.) After graduating with her M.D.in 1849, she founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent

Women andChildren, ahospital run bywomendoctors.Blackwell laterreturned to herbirthplace,England, and,along withFlorenceNightingale,founded theWomen’sMedicalCollege.

AlthoughBlackwell wasnot a memberof Alpha Phi,her pioneeringwork paved theroad for manywomen whofollowed her.And, as it turnsout, that roadintersectedmore than oncewith Alpha Phi.

Blackwell’s alma mater, Geneva Medical College, was foundedin 1834 as part of Geneva College (now Hobart College). In1871, the college was disbanded and its assets donated to the

recentlyfoundedSyracuseUniversity,whichsubsequentlyfounded its ownmedical college.It was here thatthe firstmember ofAlpha Phi tostudy medicine,Dr. Electa B.Whipple(Alpha-Syracuse),would earn anM.D. in 1884,finishing thethree-yearcourse in justtwo years.

At the time,Whipple wasamong anestimated fourpercent ofphysicians whowere female – apercentage thatwould remain relatively unchanged into the 1960s. (The lastmedical school in the United States to open its doors to womendid so in 1960.)

The fact that so few women practiced medicine was all tooobvious to Whipple. Writing in a 1901 issue of the Alpha PhiQuarterly, Whipple noted that the number of women in bothcollege and medical schools was “deplorably small.” And sheurged her sisters to look to the field of medicine for a career,especially compared to the usual route, teaching.

“The woman physician of today,” Whipple observed, “holdsher place in response to the public demand, and she is sought onthe basis of skill, not sex, while she receives the samecompensation for services rendered that does her brother in theprofession.”

At the time Whipple wrote, Alpha Phi had added more femalephysicians to its ranks, despite the fact that many medicalcolleges remained closed to women. (By 1904, only 97 of a totalof 160 medical schools admitted women.)

Early Alpha Phi Physicians Serve and Inspire Women

DR. ELECTA B. WHIPPLE (ALPHA-SYRACUSE)Dr. Electa B. Whipple would have been counted as a charter mem-ber of Alpha chapter had she not been forced to leave school for abrief period. Upon her return, she was initiated into Alpha Phi andlater served as national president in 1876. She taught school forseveral years, before entering medical school in 1882. After earn-ing her M.D., she studied in Vienna and London and then opened aprivate practice in Buffalo, N.Y.

DR. ANNA D. GLOSS (BETA-NORTHWESTERN)Dr. Anna D. Gloss earned her M.D. in 1885 from the Chicago

Woman’s Medical College (later known as the Woman’s Medical

School of Northwestern.) As a member of the Northwestern

Branch of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the

Methodist Church, she traveled to Tientsin, China, to head up the

Isabelle Fisher Hospital for Women and Children. She worked in

China for five years, returning to the U.S. after a bout with

malaria. She earned a postgraduate degree before returning to

China where she oversaw the establishment of a new modern

hospital.

Among these pioneers:Gamma chapter charter member, Dr. Florence Hays Ditto (Gamma-DePauw).After graduating in 1888, Ditto entered the Indiana College of Physicians andSurgeons – the only woman in her class. In 1891, she graduated as classvaledictorian and opened a private practice in Indianapolis with a focus ontreating women and children.

Dr. Anne M. Tremaine (Delta-Cornell) earned her M.D. in 1899 from theWomen’s Medical College of the New York Infirmary. Tremaine served as housephysician and surgeon at Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Mass., and later ranthe Craig Colony of Epilepsy in Sonyea, N.Y.

Once again Alpha Phi and Blackwell intersected, for, in 1868, Blackwell hadfounded the Women’s Medical College from which Tremaine graduated.(Blackwell’s college eventually graduated 364 female physicians before closing in1899 after Cornell University became co-educational.)

In their dauntless courage in pushing forward in the face of adversity, these andmany other early Alpha Phi physicians devoted their careers to helping others. Theyalso continued to pave a road that would be extended to many future Alpha Phimembers who would also choose to enter what Dr. Electa Whipple called the“noblest of professions.”

From theArchives

DR. ELIZABETH B. NEWMAN(ALPHA-SYRACUSE)Another early physician from Alpha

chapter, Newman earned her M.D.

from the Medical College of Boston

University in 1898. Newman ran a

general practice in Belmont, Mass.

She also operated a children’s

clinic in Boston. “I enjoy the

profession immensely,” Dr. Newman

said of her work, “and although it

is hard and full of responsibilities

which are harder still, I have never

been sorry for my choice.”

Food sustains us, brings us together, and sometimes is the temptation we

cannot resist! Alpha Phi has been a strong sisterhood since 1872, and

what has sustained her are her members. Ever faithful, they volunteer

beyond their collegiate experience in order to keep Alpha Phi’s sisterhood

strong and vibrant.

Food brings people together. Friends and family gather around the

dinner table to spend time sharing news of today and dreams of

tomorrow. Alpha Phi is the common thread that brings women together

across North America. No matter what your level of involvement with

Alpha Phi – a loyal Quarterly reader, a dedicated alumnae chapter

member, an enthusiastic collegiate chapter adviser, an Alpha Phi

Foundation donor, or a friend to other Alpha Phis – you are what sustains

the organization. Alpha Phi continues to foster new programs and create

new opportunities for both collegiate and alumnae women.

Thanks to our 864 volunteers, we are in our second year of an

exciting leadership program for our collegiate chapters, we have been able

to cultivate collegiate chapters on dynamic campuses like Oklahoma

(Phi), Dartmouth (Iota Kappa), Franklin & Marshall (Zeta Sigma),

Connecticut (Iota Lambda), Alabama (colonizing this fall) and

Georgia Tech (colonizing this fall), our collegiate chapters are strong

and healthy, and our alumnae chapters continue to grow. Thanks to

generous contributions to the Alpha Phi Foundation, more than

$400,000 has been donated to support our collegiate and alumnae

members and chapters through scholarship and leadership grants.

Those of us who have served on the 2006-08 International Executive

Board are grateful for the dedication of our volunteers and for the

countless hours they donate to Alpha Phi. The organization simply could

not continue its mission without their support. If you are interested in

volunteering or just getting reconnected with a collegiate or alumnae

chapter, contact the Executive Office: 847.475.0663. Volunteers are

essential ingredients to our success.
