We look

forward to reporting to you about the installation of these chapters later thisyear.

This is no time for Alpha Phi to rest on her laurels. The 2008-10International Executive Board has been hard at work over the past sixmonths to chart the course for the Fraternity’s future. We want to buildupon Alpha Phi’s accomplishments in growth, leadership development,programming, marketing and infrastructure. This spring, the IEB will adopta revision of the strategic plan based on input from our volunteers so thatour sisterhood will continue on the path of high achievement.

What does the future hold? The impact that the economic downturn willhave on fraternities and sororities is unknown, but we have plans in place forAlpha Phi to sustain her strength throughout. However, we are counting onyou now more than ever to help us secure our sisterhood’s future.

Stress can affect your heart health, especially as a woman. Howyou manage stress can be detrimental to your well-being. Butjust as important is understanding whether what you'reexperiencing is only stress - or something much more serious.

A L P H A P H I Quarterly

What is stress? Stress is your body’s response to physical,chemical, emotional or environmentalfactors. Although most people think of stressas bad, it can be both positive and negative.Positive stress may include having a baby orstarting a new job. Examples of negativestress may include divorce or financialworries.

Your body reacts to a perceived threat, ora stressor, by releasing adrenaline andcausing your breathing and heart rate tospeed up and your blood pressure to rise. Itprepares to either confront the perceivedthreat or run away from it, known as the"fight or flight" response.

When stress is acute (e.g., a loudunexpected noise), you have an immediatereaction to it, and then your body returns tonormal. However, when stress is constant, orchronic, your body can remain in a state ofheightened awareness or tension for days orweeks at a time.

Studies have shown chronic unresolvedstressors such as daily job stress,dysfunctional relationships or mountingfinancial pressures, for example, weaken theimmune system and increase susceptibility to

infection and inflammation. Higher rates ofstress can equal higher rates of illness.Unresolved psychological stress has beenshown to contribute to irritability,depression, insomnia, obesity, diabetes, highblood pressure, heart attack and stroke.

Stress is also considered a contributingrisk factor for heart disease, according to theAmerican Heart Association®, because itcan exacerbate risk factors (see sidebar).

A study conducted by the AmericanPsychological Association (APA) showed thatpeople who are chronically stressed are threeto four times more likely to suffer heartproblems. They also have a 53 percentincreased risk of high blood pressure orstroke.

Managing stressAll people feel stress, but they experience itat different levels and react to it differently.What is stressful to one person may not beto another. Coping strategies that work forone person may not work for another.

The first key to managing stress isrecognizing its symptoms.

Physical symptoms of stress mayinclude: fatigue, headache, dizziness, upset

What are you doing to prevent it?

Risk Factors for Heart DiseaseFrom the American Heart Association®

1. High Blood Pressure

2. High Cholesterol

3. Diabetes

4. Being Overweight or Obese

5. Physical Inactivity

6. Smoking

Other factors, such as a family history ofheart disease, can also affect your levelof risk.

Tips to Reduce StressFrom the American Heart Association®

1. Use positive self-talk

2. Use emergency stress stoppers(count to 10 before you speak;take 3-5 deep breaths; go for awalk; do something to refocusyourself)

3. Find pleasure (something thatmakes you feel good)

4. Practice a daily relaxationexercise

*Some physical signs of stress may becaused by your medical condition or bymedicines you take. If you aren’t surewhat’s causing your physical symptoms,ask your doctor if stress might be thecause.

The holidays, an uncertain economy, work, family-all thesecan cause stress. And stress can affect your heart health,especially as a woman. How you manage stress can bedetrimental to your well-being. But just as important isunderstanding whether what you are experiencing is onlystress-or something much more serious.

stomach, muscle tension, change inappetite, weight gain or loss, teethclenching or grinding, change in sexdrive, changes in sleep patterns, shortnessof breath, chest pain and frequent illness.

Emotional / Psychologicalsymptoms of stress may include:irritability or anger, nervousness, excessiveworry, anxiety, withdrawal, depression,helplessness, lack of energy, sadness,crying more than usual, difficultyconcentrating and restlessness.

Once you recognize the symptoms,identify your stressors. Are you exhaustedall the time because you have too muchon your plate? Does that tensionheadache come back each time you sitdown to pay your bills? Knowing what iscausing you stress will help you determinewhether it’s feasible to eliminate thestressor (e.g., if the long commute to andfrom work is the stressor, finding a jobcloser to home would eliminate the stress)or, more likely, how to effectively manageit.

Find the best stress managementtechniques for you personally. Commonsuggestions to reduce stress include livinga healthy lifestyle, exercising daily, gettingenough sleep and having a positiveemotional outlook. (See sidebars from theAHA regarding tips for reducing stressand practicing healthy habits to fightstress).

You can also combat the negativeeffects of stress by finding your ownactivities that make you happy andrecharge you, and scheduling them inyour day. For example, taking a bubblebath, playing with your children or goingfor a walk.

If you are finding it difficult to controlyour stress, you may want to speak toyour doctor to identify additional copingmethods that may work for you. Findingthe best management option will lead toreducing your risk of stress-related healthproblems.

Is it stress or something moreserious?As an Alpha Phi, you know heart diseaseis the number one killer of women inNorth America. And you may havenoticed some of the symptoms listed forstress are similar to those experiencedwith heart-related problems, including aheart attack.

In fact, a recent study conducted byWeil Medical College of CornellUniversity showed primary care doctorsare more likely to attribute shortness ofbreath, chest pain and other heart diseasesymptoms to stress when diagnosingwomen who are experiencing stress thanthey do when they see the same signs inmen who are under stress. The genderbias disappeared when patients did notmention they were experiencing stress oranxiety.

Women often experience significantlydifferent heart attack symptoms than menand are slower to seek medical attentionbecause they think it is just stress.Therefore, according to the Women’sHeart Foundation, women who haveheart attacks are more likely to die thanmen.

So how do you tell whether yoursymptoms are stress related or somethingmore serious?

Fight Stress with Healthy HabitsFrom the American Heart Association®

1. Talk with family and friends. A daily doseof friendship is great medicine. Call or write yourfriends and family to share your feelings, hopesand joys.

2. Daily physical activity. Physical activityrelieves mental and physical tension. Physicalactivity can be a great source of pleasure, too. Trywalking, swimming, biking or dancing every day.

3. Accept the things you cannot change.Don’t say, “I’m too old.” You can still learn newthings, work toward a goal, love and help others.

4. Remember to laugh. Laughter makes you feelgood. Don’t be afraid to laugh out loud at a joke,a funny movie or a comic strip, even when you'realone.

5. Give up the bad habits. Too much alcohol,cigarettes or caffeine can increase stress. If yousmoke, decide to quit now.

6. Slow down. Try to “pace” instead of “race.”Plan ahead and allow enough time to get themost important things done.

7. Get enough sleep. Try to get six to eight hoursof sleep each night. If you can’t sleep, take stepsto help reduce stress and depression.

8. Get organized. Use “to do” lists to help youfocus on your most important tasks. Approach bigtasks one step at a time. For example, start byorganizing just one part of your life – your car,desk, kitchen, closet, cupboard or drawer.

9. Practice giving back. Volunteer your time orreturn a favor to a friend. Helping others helpsyou.

10. Try not to worry. The world won’t end if yourgrass isn’t mowed or your kitchen isn’t cleaned.You may need to do these things, but today mightnot be the right time.

Heart Attack SymptomsFrom the American Heart Association®

MORE COMMON IN WOMEN• pressure, tightness or an ache in the chest• neck, jaw, back or abdominal discomfort• shortness of breath• stomach upset or nausea • vomiting • indigestion or "heartburn" • unusual fatigue

MORE COMMON IN MEN• chest pain or discomfort • pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck or back • feeling weak, lightheaded or faint• pain or discomfort in the arms or shoulder, especially

down the left arm• sweating Other factors, such as a family history of heart disease, can also affect your levelof risk.

Pre-heart Attack Symptoms(usually occurring one week to six months before a heart attack)From the American Heart Association®

• Unusual fatigue

• Sleep disturbance

• Shortness of breath

• Chest pain

• Indigestion

• Anxiety

• Pain in shoulder blade or upper back

Begin now by learning your family medical historyand conveying it to your doctor. Be proactive by gettingscreened for heart disease as part of your annualphysical exam and learning your personal risk.Continue with your doctor to monitor your cholesterol,blood pressure, hemoglobin, weight and body massindex numbers on an annual basis (see Heart Health:What to Ask Your Doctor form on page 5). Becomefamiliar with the symptoms of stress and heart disease(see sidebars, including pre-heart attack and heart attacksymptoms.)

Also be proactive by evaluating your lifestyle andmaking changes where necessary. According to theNational Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, women canlower their heart disease risk by as much as 82 percentjust by leading a healthy lifestyle.

Be your own advocate and trust your instincts. Bevigilant about recognizing changes in your own physicaland psychological well-being, bring them to yourdoctor’s attention and get the necessary help. If youhave the sense that you just don’t feel right, don’t writeit off. Tell your doctor about all symptoms, even if theyseem strange or embarrassing. If you share yourconcerns and your doctor does not take them seriously,get a second opinion.

If your symptoms come on suddenly or you thinkyou are having a heart attack, call 911 immediately.

The purpose of this article is not to stress you out.Begin the new year by taking steps now toward ahealthier you: be proactive about managing your stressand your heart health.

Lifetime Dues Member Q&A

1. Name: Lauren Huff2. Chapter: DePauw (Gamma)3. Profession: student at University ofCincinnati College of Medicine4. I didn’t expect Alpha Phi to teach me…how to make really tough decisions.Sometimes a decision must be madebecause it is the right one, notbecause it is popular or easy.5. I never thought I would meet anAlpha Phi... in a hospital at which Iwas volunteering. When the wife of a patient saw mylavaliere, we started talking. It was amazing how manythings were different … and how many things were the same!6. I wish I had more time to … visit my sorority sisters from DePauw (missyou girls!). And sleep … never enough sleep.7. I think all my sisters should read … the Harry Potter series. Not only is itgood writing, but it’s a reminder to believe in magic.8. My favorite memory of Alpha Phi is ... on the night before Bid Day 2008when the entire senior class went out to dinner after Preference round ofrecruitment. It was a great chance for the class to bond before we metour wonderful new Phis and before we all went our different ways aftergraduation.9. I love the sound of … rainstorms. But only when I can be snuggled undermy comforter.10. I wanted to pay my lifetime dues because … Alpha Phi gave so much to meover my college career, and I want to make sure that I allow other womento have the same extraordinary experience I did.

As of December 2008, more than 1,200 members have joined Lauren and become lifetime dues paying members of Alpha Phi. For acomplete list of lifetime dues paying members, visit www.alphaphi.org.

rs Congratulations to the followingchapter for recently receiving itscharter!

Alpha Phi International is excited to announce alumnae chapters and ivy connections are forming in the following areas:

Alumnae Chapters (alumnae of all ages)

California NapaCanada Ottawa-GatineauColorado Fort CollinsGeorgia SavannahIowa Cedar RapidsMissouri Columbia, Jefferson CityOklahoma EdmondPennsylvania HarrisburgSouth Carolina CharlestonTexas Tyler

Please contact Paige Stallings (Gamma-DePauw) at pstallings@alphaphi.org if you are interested in getting involved with any of these chapters or starting a chapter in your area.

It is with one heart and many minds that the 2008-10International Executive Board reports to you that during theuncertain times that surround us, Alpha Phi is stronger than ever.

The International Executive Board and the Executive Officestaff together regularly take an inventory of the Fraternity in alldepartments, and are proud to report to you on Alpha Phi’s healthand strength.

Membership is at an all time high: • More than 3,300 new members joined Alpha Phi so far

this school year. • Our collegiate chapters had the highest success rate for

recruitment in our history. • We are actively involved in extension projects, with new

colonies at Georgia Tech and Alabama. • Since its inception in 2007, more than 1,200 alumnae

members have chosen the new lifetime membership dues payment option to support the Fraternity.

Volunteer teams continue to strengthen and grow. Mostrecently, the regional housing coordinator (RHC) position wasadded to each regional team to support house corporation boards(HCBs). This is evidence of Alpha Phi’s continuing commitmentto the homes of our collegiate members. The RHC volunteer isavailable to assist any HCB with training or problems that mayarise in the management of our properties. More than 98 percentof our collegiate chapters have advisory board support. We aregrateful to approximately 1,200 volunteers currently workingthroughout the organization.

The financial health of the Fraternity is also in good workingorder. We are exercising prudent decisions with constant budgetreviews and conservative business practices. All staff members andvolunteers are using good judgment when dealing with ourfinances. We are secure and planning for our future.

Heart to HeartThis biennium, the relationship between the Foundation and theFraternity has strengthened and grown into a partnership withparallel goals and ideals for Alpha Phi. Twice during the past year,the two Boards have met in joint sessions to address significantdevelopments and challenges for Alpha Phi.

The staffs and volunteers of both worked together to createAlpha Phi’s Leadership Initiative program, which continues to beon the cutting edge in the Greek world and has received ravereviews. The innovative program is funded by the Alpha PhiFoundation and is designed to foster Alpha Phi values-basedleadership skills in our collegiate members as well as increaseinvolvement opportunities for our alumnae.

Education is also a shared priority for Alpha Phi Fraternity andFoundation. Our members strive for the highest ideals ofscholarship, and the Foundation is steadfast in supporting thispriority. Forty-three Alpha Phis benefited in 2008 from more than$140,000 in merit-based scholarship grants awarded by theFoundation.

The Alpha Phi Foundation continues to be a leader in theNPC world. The Foundation’s new GOLD (Graduates of the LastDecade) program reaches out to young alumnae and provides thisgroup an important way to support Alpha Phi’s programs andgrowth.

As so much of the Foundation’s efforts go to support the workof the Fraternity, the relationship is mutually beneficial, and it isone of the organization’s greatest strengths.

The Fraternity and Foundation … together we are Alpha Phi!

RED ALERT! Heart disease is an epidemic among women – the No. 1 killer, in fact – even more than all forms of cancer combined. And animportant part of the Alpha Phi Foundation’s mission is supporting efforts that educate women about this important health risk.

The Foundation awarded its Heart to Heart Grant – formerly known as the Cardiac Care Award – this year to Events of the Heart, anon-profit organization in New York City dedicated to using creative arts and the media to reveal the truth about the threat of heart diseasefor women. The organization’s co-founder Pamela Serure, despite her healthy lifestyle, survived a heart attack and emergency triple-bypasssurgery at the young age of 47. After recovering from surgery, she suffered yet another heart attack five years later during a test at her doctor’soffice. Realizing how little she and other women know about their risk, Pamela and long-time friend Carole Isenberg founded Events of theHeart and set out to raise awareness.

Using Pamela’s marketing background and Carole’s expertise as a teacher and film producer, they employ a combination of education andentertainment to expose the realities of women’s heart disease. Together, they are helping create a language around the issue and givingwomen an opportunity to tell their stories to other women. Events of the Heart holds gatherings across the country, garnering support andparticipation from companies like Novartis Pharmaceuticals and actors such as Eva Longoria Parker, Brenda Strong, Jon Voight, JillEikenberry and Sherri Shepherd. Their events are lively, comedic and entertaining – making the most of the theory that laughter is goodmedicine – and attendees walk away educated and encouraged to take action for their own health.

The organization will use the Alpha Phi Foundation’s $25,000 grant to support its RED ALERT! Breakfast Series. The goal: to helpwomen start the conversation about heart disease and motivate them to commit to a healthy lifestyle.

“The grant from the Alpha Phi Foundation allows us to implement the RED ALERT! Breakfast Series and expands our reach to thecommunity. Our goal is to touch women on a one-on-one basis, and this is the perfect event in which to do that. We are committed toawareness, education and research, and the support from Alpha Phi will help us connect with more women to give them the real truth abouttheir risk for heart disease,” says Pamela.

During this year, 100 women from underserved communities will attend each breakfast event free of charge. The breakfasts bring togetherthe talents of top cardiologists and local actors and actresses for an entertaining and educational round table discussion to help women engagewith questions like “How do I care for my heart?” Heart survivors and women in the community will share their stories, and attendees cantake advantage of several tools – like on-site heart screenings – to better understand their personal risk.

Events of the Heart urges women to “turn the spotlight on your heart.” As a result of Alpha Phi’s Heart to Heart Grant, 500 women willsoon be armed with information about their own heart health and the urgency to share what they’ve learned with their mothers, sisters,daughters and friends.

Alpha Phi is proud to partner with Events of the Heart! For more about the organization, visit www.eventsoftheheart.org.

PostcardsFive beautiful antique postcards weredonated to the archives by EllenTownsend Grim (Omega-Texas). Threeof the cards depict DePauw’s (Gamma)various chapter houses and two others offera rare view of Clara Bradley Burdette’s(Alpha-Syracuse) home in Pasadena, Calif.These cards, which date from the 1910s,are noteworthy as historical images. Butwhen accompanied by Ellen’s stories, theytake on deeper richness.

The cards were part of the collection ofEllen’s mother-in-law, Mary Little Grim(Gamma-DePauw), a collegian in the1910s – hence the Gamma chapter housepostcards.

Ellen’s mother, Sibyl Lindley Townsend,and aunt, Kathleen Lindley Evens, arealso Gamma chapter alumnae. Her motherand mother-in-law are even members ofthe same pledge class, and her aunt servedon Alpha Phi’s International ExecutiveBoard. Ellen sent the Burdette home

postcards recounting that her husbandrecalls playing at the Burdette home as achild in the 1920s when “Mother”Burdette hosted alumnae in her home – adirect and very personal connection with aFounder!

BadgeThe archives also acquired recently a rareAlpha Phi badge. Engraved with the name“Ethel Grey Scott,” the badge wasimmediately identifiable. After a visit tothe Evanston History Center, we unearthed

the full story behind the badge’sowner.

Ethel Grey Scott (Beta-Northwestern) was born inEvanston, and her parents wereamong its earliest settlers.

Scott’s father, CharlesFrederick Grey (1830-1925), wasborn in Buffalo, N.Y., and cameto Chicago in 1849. He marriedAnna Lydia Graves, a formerschoolteacher, and they moved toEvanston in 1866, just five yearsafter the town’s incorporation.They purchased a large plot ofland just blocks from LakeMichigan and built severalhouses.

Ethel joined Beta chapter in the fall of1891, after a very intense struggle over heramong other groups. She graduated PhiBeta Kappa in 1896. She spent severalsummers in Europe and married in 1899to Robert Lindsay Scott (1873-1953) of

Evanston. Robert Scott

served as vicepresident anddirector of CarsonPirie Scott andCompany, a well-known Chicagoarea departmentstore establishedby his family in1864. They hadtwo children, Margaret Grey, born in1903, and Robert Lindsay Jr., born in1908.

Both of the Scotts were active in thecivic life of Evanston and Chicago: Ethelserved as president of the North Shoreadvisory board of the Illinois Children’sHome and Aid Society, president of theFirst Baptist Church Woman’s Society andpresident of Northwestern SettlementWoman’s Board. Robert served as a trustee

of the Universityof Chicago,director of theEvanston HospitalAssociation, andtrustee of theBaptistTheologicalUnion, amongmany others.

Scott’s badge isdated 1907, yearsafter her initial

pledge to Alpha Phi. Her precise reason forhaving a newer badge made may never beknown; what is known, however, is thatScott’s loyalty to Alpha Phi remained vitalthroughout her long life. The return of herbadge to Evanston is therefore truly fitting.

These items are wonderful additions tothe Alpha Phi archives, each contributingits own interesting story to the long andfascinating history of Alpha Phi.

From the Archives: Recent Acquisitions Bring History Alive

DePauw chapter house. In 1920, Gamma chapter, found-ed in 1887, purchased its first chapter house, a colonialhouse on East Seminary Street, Greencastle, Ind. Thehouse was the first women’s chapter house at DePauw.

View from the Burdette home, known as Sunnycrest, in Pasadena,Calif. The two-story house was built by Burdette’s second husband,who willed it to her when he died. In 1908, Town and Countrymagazine featured Sunnycrest in an article titled, “The PicturesqueHomes of Pasadena.”

During the first 10 years aftergraduation, women face an abundanceof rapid life changes: building a career,graduate school, marriage, children,relocating. How can they remainconnected to Alpha Phi?

The Foundation’s answer: a newinitiative called GOLD (Graduates ofthe Last Decade).

“GOLD gives young alumnae aunique opportunity to stay connected ina meaningful way,” says FoundationExecutive Director Emily Ellison Lamb(Gamma Iota-Texas Tech).

Two young alumnae from theFoundation staff, Erin Leahey(Omicron-Missouri) and LaurenVandeveer (Delta Rho-Ball State),launched the effort last year. These two women travel tometropolitan areas and meet with sisters to show how Foundation

programs make an impact on Alpha Phicampuses.

The result: in less than two years, morethan 300 GOLD donors have made animpact with gifts totaling more than$600,000.

Traditionally, charitable organizationsdedicate more resources to connect withalready-established major donors. But theAlpha Phi Foundation takes a totallydifferent view of young alumnae.

“The Foundation’s GOLD initiative isan exciting investment,” says Emily. “It’s along-term effort that is really inspiring ouralumnae. When our members learn aboutthe great things we’re doing to supportAlpha Phi … develop the best andbrightest leaders … champion women’s

heart health … it naturally ignites philanthropic passion. Whowouldn’t want to be a part of GOLD?”

Carri Perrier (Delta Delta-Oklahoma City)

“Alpha Phi is our common connection, butI think the reason we have all chosen to bepart of such an amazing organization isbecause we want to help people. I read anarticle that examined what women worryabout the most: next to family, world peaceis the second leading cause of worry andstress. I think this means that women allover the world are worrying about helpingpeople.

This is why I chose to be a part of theFoundation’s GOLD program. By supportingthe Alpha Phi Foundation, I am joining mysisters to make changes. Together, we’refinding new ways to help support women.We’re helping sisters become betterleaders for tomorrow. These things mightnot bring immediate peace on earth, butthey’re making a difference in a huge way,little by little. Choosing to give to theFoundation is choosing to be part of thesolution.”

O N C A M P U S

Fall 2008 Colonization Update Last fall, Alpha Phi launched chapters at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology and the University of Alabama. Both groupsparticipated in their respective first rounds of formal recruitmentand hosted Alpha Phi-only recruitment events following their localPanhellenic recruitments. However, while each group’s initialactivities were similar, the plans to develop both chapters arecustomized to meet their campus and member-specific needs. Weare thrilled to join these thriving communities and greatlyappreciate the local support and guidance we have received todate.

Georgia Tech Colony In the spring of 2008, Team Buzz, a team comprised of Alpha Phistaff and volunteers, was created to oversee the establishment of astrong chapter at Georgia Tech. On Aug. 16 Alpha Phi officiallydebuted on campus by participating in its first round of formalrecruitment. Collegiate members from Minnesota (Epsilon),Northern Colorado (Delta Gamma) and Virginia (Zeta Iota)joined recent new members and local alumnae in supporting a fullday of events. After this round, some members of Team Buzzobserved the remaining recruitment events to better understandGeorgia Tech’s recruitment process, and others focused onmarketing Alpha Phi to potential new members who did notparticipate in formal recruitment.

Our first Alpha Phi-only recruitment event, “The FabulousLife of Alpha Phi,” coincided with formal recruitment’s Bid Day.Each potential new member was interviewed and had theopportunity to attend a series of four Alpha Phi events. A veryspecial Preference event at Mid-City Lofts marked the end ofAlpha Phi’s first recruitment period and set the stage for anexciting Bid Day that included enjoying the Yellow Jackets’ firsthome football game. We are grateful for the Team Buzz memberswho conducted interviews and supported efforts to plan and hosteach recruitment event. Without your time and energy, our initial

recruitment would nothave been as successful!

After Bid Day onAug. 28 the colonygained momentum asour enthusiastic newmembers participatedin a variety ofinteresting and funactivities, includinghosting a very well-attended barbecue forthe Greek community,attending a Halloweenphilanthropy mixer andcoordinating asisterhood event atCagle’s Dairy. InOctober, the colonyparticipated fully in campus Homecoming activities, includingmaking a splash with its mock rock performance and housedisplay.

Alabama Colony Last spring, Team Bama was established to coordinate the re-colonization of Alpha Phi’s chapter at the University of Alabama.Throughout the summer, the team focused on developing adetailed colonization plan. In addition, the team secured an ideallylocated facility to rent and coordinated a renovation project thatenabled approximately 30 excited new members to move into thehouse mid-September.

On Aug. 11, Alpha Phi collegians from Illinois (Beta Alpha),Miami University (Gamma Nu), Texas (Omega),UNC/Wilmington (Eta Xi), Virginia (Zeta Iota), Virginia Tech(Eta Omicron) and Washington University (Zeta Upsilon)represented Alpha Phi during Alabama’s first round of formalrecruitment. These incredibly enthusiastic collegiate membersarrived two days before the first round to practice rushingtogether, learn about Alabama’s Panhellenic community andperfect a door chant! These dedicated women recruited potentialnew members for two full days and 22 parties in the ScholarshipRoom of Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Several Team Bama members spent the remaining days offormal recruitment observing each party round, escorted bymembers of the Panhellenic Council. Other team members werestationed in the Scholarship Room for the duration of formalrecruitment to promote Alpha Phi and respond to potential newmembers’ questions. In the week following Panhellenic Bid Day,Alpha Phi marketed its upcoming recruitment blitz and preparedto host these critical events.

The colony’s recruitment blitz spanned two weeks, including abreak for Labor Day weekend. During the blitz, individual

interviews were conducted with almost 400 potential newmembers. In addition, Alpha Phi hosted two open and twoinvitation-only recruitment events, the final event beingpreference. Bid Day was celebrated on Sept. 5 and marked AlphaPhi’s largest colonization new member class in memory. Thecelebration was a scaled down version of Alabama’s PanhellenicBid Day, but was highlighted by the introduction and warmwelcome of our new members to Alabama’s large Greekcommunity at the Greekfest fundraiser.

Looking forward Throughout the fall semester, Team Buzz and Team Bama focusedon establishing strong colony infrastructures and offering anexciting calendar for each colony that included weekly socialevents, a new member retreat, philanthropy events and officerelections.

As spring draws near, both colonies are now focused onachieving the goals necessary for them to be installed as the newestAlpha Phi chapters. Collegiate officers at both Georgia Tech andAlabama continue to partner with Alpha Phi’s educationalleadership consultants, local alumnae and team volunteers to build

their fledgling chapters. Thegrowth and development ofthese two colonies would notbe possible without thecountless hours of supportprovided by our consultantsand volunteers. Thanks to allof you for making an impacton Alpha Phi in the South!

If you are interested involunteering with one of thesecolonies, please contact MeganBouché (Epsilon-Minnesota) atmbouche@alphaphi.org.

COLLEGIAN SAVES STRANGER’S LIFE

Lisa Walton (Delta Gamma-Northern Colorado) was featured in the Sept. 15, 2008, TheGreeley Tribune (Greeley, Colo.) in an article titled “UNC student helping save life ofcomplete stranger.”

What began last year when she volunteered as part of a bone-marrow drive to help aUNC football player turned into much more. Lisa did not match the football player, but herblood was placed on a worldwide list of potential donors. She learned a few months laterthat she was a match for someone – a million-to-one chance.

The senior business-marketing major only knows the person she’s donating to is a manin his 50s who has myelodysplasia, a disease that would kill him without her blood cells.

She has donated her white blood cells to replace his twice now, a relatively painless procedure on her part –shots for a week to build up white blood cell count and five hours on a blood tube. After a year, she may be ableto learn who the man is whose life she’s saving.

The stranger is not the only one whose life is changed. Lisa now plans to continue to be a regular blooddonor throughout her life.

For more information on a bone marrow donation, visit www.marrow.org.
