Alpha Phi Quarterly Editorial Policy
The purpose of the Alpha Phi Quarterly and its content is to provide information
and services to the membership of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in keeping with
the Fraternity’s status as a 501(c)(7) tax-exempt private membership club.
The magazine is devoted to highlighting its members and matters of fraternal
and college interest. The views expressed in the articles published in the
Quarterly are those of the authors and their contributors, and do not necessarily
represent the opinions of Alpha Phi Fraternity, its officers or staff.
When my daughter Kiley was born, I hoped one
day she would be an Alpha Phi. I imagined her
collegiate experience would be similar to mine –
that she would immerse herself in chapter activities
and perhaps serve as a chapter officer. It was a
dream come true for me when she pledged Alpha
Phi at the University of Nebraska (UNL).
However, her experience as an Alpha Phi
collegiate member was quite different from my own. She participated in
recruitment as a sophomore – a rarity at UNL. And to make things even more
interesting, she was a Navy midshipman. She wore a uniform on Thursdays,
ran in her boots on campus and had very little discretionary time.
It was Kiley’s challenge to make her Alpha Phi experience something
she could manage and something she would enjoy. And it was Nu chapter’s
challenge to find the value in Kiley’s membership despite her limitations.
While it wasn’t easy or traditional, they did it. With the help of her chapter
sisters, Kiley managed to blend her two worlds and had an extraordinary
college experience that was uniquely her own.
Today’s Alpha Phi collegiate members have complex lives. They are
athletes, artists, musicians and entrepreneurs. Sorority membership
is only one of many choices available to collegiate women these days,
and participation in Alpha Phi is quite demanding. In return for their
considerable investment of time, devotion and resources, we must support
our members as they work their way through this phase of life’s challenges.
Not everyone will do it the same way, and that’s okay. We encourage all of our
members to make the Alpha Phi experience work for them.
Kiley graduated in May and was commissioned as an ensign in the United
States Navy. It was a proud day for her father and me – made more proud for
me when I turned around during the commissioning ceremony and saw her
Alpha Phi chapter sisters sitting in the audience. I will always be grateful to
Nu chapter for being home to my daughter while she was away in college.
As Kiley looks forward with excitement upon her future, I find reassurance
in knowing that wherever she goes, near or far, Alpha Phi will always be an
important part of her life (after all, she is a lifetime dues payer). Take care of
yourself my daughter, my sister, “while we are absent one from the other.”
Alpha Phi Toujours,
Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSU/Long Beach)
International President

Message from the International Executive Board
Many Ways to Serve,
Many Ways to Gain
International Executive Board (IEB)
directors take every opportunity possible
to meet with collegiate and alumnae
sisters in cities across North America. And
whenever those sisters are also Fraternity
volunteers, we inquire about their reasons
for giving their time, talent and support
to the Fraternity and Foundation. Not
surprisingly, the answers reflect a broad
range of motives: fond memories of their
collegiate experience, delight in the benefits
of alumnae friendship while serving others,
a desire to model leadership behaviors
for younger women and loyalty to a cause
bigger than one’s self. These conversations
re-affirm for all of us the importance of
the commitments we made and remind
us that, indeed, Alpha Phi is much bigger
than ourselves.
At the same time, today’s volunteers aren’t
the women of our Founders’ generation,
or even that of our own mothers and
grandmothers. According to industry
experts, volunteers in the 21st century are
motivated by outcome-based projects, and
they have little patience for endless rounds
of meetings toward an unspecified mission.
They are more likely to give of themselves
when there is a particular set of valueadded tasks toward known goals rather
than general relationship building. Today’s
volunteer is happy to give, but she wants
to know her giving results in an
identifiable benefit.
So it was with this insight – coupled
with the recognition of the need to serve
a growing base of larger chapters – that
the alumnae strategy team (AST) and
the collegiate chapter support committee
2
Alpha Phi Quarterly
Fall 2013
(CCSC) went to work. After careful
deliberation and consideration of our
Fraternity’s needs as well as the interests
of our volunteers, they recommended
complementary new structures and
launched pilot projects to test their ideas.
Plans were adapted to reflect the feedback
of the pilot groups, and Alpha Phi carefully
launched the first phase of our new
collegiate and alumnae chapter support
environments. Instead of a small cadre of
volunteers supported by an even smaller
Executive Office team, we extended our
reach. We added several new roles,
each designed and defined with
a particular focus.
For example, collegiate chapter advisors
will now be supported by a collegiate
chapter administrator (CCA), a volunteer
with only a small handful of other advisors
to coach. Likewise, CCAs will receive
support from a collegiate chapter manager
(CCM), another volunteer with only a small
handful of CCAs to coach.
The same is true for alumnae. Alumnae
chapter presidents will connect with an
alumnae chapter administrator (ACA), a
volunteer with knowledge of alumnae needs
and a small, specific group of chapters to
assist. These ACAs gather their support
from an alumnae engagement manager
(AEM), a volunteer having direct experience
with alumnae in a particular section of
North America. As a complement to these
Alpha Phi-specific alumnae roles, a new
alumnae Panhellenic administrator (APA)
will also serve as the chief recruiter of Alpha
Phi alumnae volunteers for Panhellenic
endeavors in a local area.
At the same time, the Executive Office
adapted to provide direct assistance to
these new structures. Executive Director
Linda Wells Kahangi (Zeta Delta-Iowa
State) established a volunteer coordinator
staff position, with a mission to recruit
volunteers and recommend them for specific
positions. This position complements
the collegiate and alumnae departments
currently in place. Jennifer Hutchinson
Frobish (Epsilon Delta-Northern Illinois)
now fills this position, following her tenure
as North Central Midwest regional manager.
Also, a new Phi Form, developed by the
volunteer task force, was recently launched
on alphaphi.org (keywords: Phi Form) to
capture members᾿ contact information,
experiences and interests.
These two new support structures have
created hundreds of volunteer opportunities
– all of them defined, focused and with
outcome-based goals. Beyond this, the
collegiate and alumnae strategy committees
are busily working on the definitions of
other chapter support functions (many
of which will be launched in the months
to come), each creating even more
volunteer roles.
Finally, we would be remiss if we did
not mention the many teams of volunteers
supporting the other aspects of the
Fraternity and Foundation. Housing,
extension, recruitment, strategy and finance
– to name just a few – continue to thrive,
all thanks to your generous spirit and
loyal hearts.
There is no doubt some of the drivers
behind contemporary volunteer service
have evolved, and your Fraternity has
responded by opening up a broad new set of
opportunities for even more women to get
involved. But what remains, what is most
lasting, is our collective commitment to our
Fraternity. It is a commitment guided by our
shared purpose, focused on the betterment
of Alpha Phi and the women’s
fraternal experience.
Volunteer!
Help us find the perfect volunteer
opportunity for you in Alpha Phi! Or
update us if you already volunteer.

Small World
Sisters Meet While Stationed Overseas
Phis don’t shy away from challenges. When the opportunity presented itself, two sisters
each took different paths to the American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Michelle
Thompson (Gamma Pi-Arizona State) and Sarah Wannarka (Delta Mu-Purdue) did not
know each other before arriving, but soon discovered their shared affiliation. Michelle
works with the U.S. Department of State, and Sarah is an assistant United States attorney
with the U.S. Justice Department. In such a stressful war zone, the women have been
comforted by the instant bond of sisterhood. Above: Sarah Wannarka, left, and
Michelle Thompson meet while working in Kabul.

Gamma Zetas Enjoy Summer Reunion Gamma Zetas from the classes of 1963 and
onward returned to Puget Sound for the university’s Summer Reunion Weekend. It was
the second consecutive reunion for many of the sisters who reminisced about college
days and shared details about their lives after college. They enjoyed meeting several
collegians during an open house at the chapter.

TV Phis Discover
Shared Sisterhood
Three women who work for WBFF-TV
in Baltimore, Md., discovered they are
Alpha Phis. Melinda Roeder (Epsilon
Iota-Duquesne) is a reporter, Jennifer
Gilbert (Beta-Northwestern) is an anchor,
and Janice Park (Delta Zeta-Maryland)
is a reporter. The station was recently
named Most Outstanding News Operation by the Chesapeake Associated Press
Broadcasters Association, and Melinda was named Best Reporter for the region. As a trio,
they have more than a dozen regional Emmy Awards combined and a long list of other
honors. Above: Janice Park, Jennifer Gilbert and Melinda Roeder pose in front of
the anchor desk at WBFF-TV in Baltimore, Md.
High School Friends Are Sisters
Beta Betas Celebrate 50 Years of Sisterhood Michigan State (Beta Beta) sisters
who graduated in 1963 celebrated their 50-year anniversary with a reunion during
Michigan State’s Alumni Reunion Days. A highlight of the gathering was a visit to the
chapter house, which was in the midst of improvements including the installation of a
fire sprinkler system, enhanced lighting and other summer projects. The 2013 reunion
was one of several throughout the years, the most recent in 2011 to visit Philadelphia
and the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania.

Three high school friends from Richmond, Va., went their separate
ways to college and all joined Alpha Phi at different schools.

Alpha Phis Lobby on
Capitol Hill
In April, Alpha Phis visited Washington, D.C., to educate Congress
on the value of the Greek system. For several years, inter/national
fraternity and sorority leaders have worked together to build a
positive presence on Capitol Hill that helps to protect the fraternal
experience. Those efforts are strengthened by the Fraternity and
Sorority Political Action Committee (FSPAC), which seeks to
provide financial aid to the campaigns of federal office candidates
who support the objectives of fraternity life.
While visiting Congressional leaders and their staffs, Alpha Phi
collegiate representatives Kirsten Mehnert (Delta Nu-Maine) and
Karly Moen (Pi-North Dakota) joined hundreds of other Greek
leaders who advocated for preserving the value of charitable
deductions, protecting the freedom of association and due process
rights of students, educating leaders about our efforts to combat
hazing and passing the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act
(CHIA) to improve collegiate housing.
CHIA has bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate.
The bill would allow donations to housing projects for non-profit
student housing, such as an Alpha Phi house, to be tax-deductible as
a similar donation would be for university-owned housing.
FSPAC needs resources to advance these important issues, and
Alpha Phi is grateful to those many sisters who have donated to the
FSPAC over the years. Special thanks goes to the Virginia (Zeta Iota)
house corporation board (HCB) for making the first donation from
an HCB to the FSPAC’s new independent expenditure account.
“HCBs stand to benefit from this change in the tax code that
permits donations for housing projects to be deductible to the
donor,” says Virginia’s HCB President Kelly Benedetti Walsh (Beta
Omicron-Bowling Green State). “Supporting the passage of CHIA
through an FSPAC donation should be a budget line item for every
Alpha Phi HCB.”
Enjoying a break from lobbying Congress, Alpha Phis gather at the FSPAC annual dinner
where Alpha Phi’s International Executive Board and National House Corporation Board
were recognized for their contributions to the FSPAC. Pictured (from left) are Karly Moen
(Pi-North Dakota), Kirsten Mehnert (Delta Nu-Maine), Coree Smith (Epsilon Theta-Northern
Iowa), Bonnie K. Arthur (Delta Delta-Oklahoma City), Riva Litman (Lambda-UC/Berkeley),
Meghan Snyder (Epsilon Iota-Duquesne), International President Linda Long Boland
(Gamma Kappa-CSU/Long Beach), Jackee Schools (Eta Lambda-George Mason),
Val Lawlor (Omicron-Missouri) and Kim Brannon (Gamma Rho-Penn State).
One of the highlights of the spring visits to Capitol Hill is the
opportunity it gives collegians not only to come to Washington,
D.C., but to be trained by the country’s top lobbyists on how Capitol
Hill works. It also provides the experience of advocating at the
highest level for a cause in which they believe.
An alumna of the FSPAC collegiate experience, Riva Litman
(Lambda-UC/Berkeley), shared, “I am grateful for the experience
Alpha Phi provided me while I was in college – not only to develop
my leadership skills, but to have a front row seat to the legislative
process.” Riva now works on Capitol Hill for a member of the
leadership of Congress, and she was recently named a top press
secretary on Capitol Hill.
Please consider making a contribution to the FSPAC. Contact FSPAC Board
Members Val Lawlor (Omicron-Missouri) or Bonnie Arthur (Delta DeltaOklahoma City) at governmentrelations@alphaphi.org for more information.

Cara Prodanovich
Sisters Collaborate on Meaningful
Fashion Brand
Kristen Davis and Cara Prodanovich (both Theta IotaJames Madison) have launched a startup company
that offers luxury fashion goods produced via sustainable
means and fuses the love of style with the love of culture.
The Hand Made On Earth brand (handmadeearth.com)
strives to empower people around the world,
especially women.
The company’s artisans are skilled seamstresses who
live in rural villages in the Himalayan Mountains. Cara
and Kristen’s company provides wages three times the
average in efforts to provide them with a better standard
of living. Additionally, their hand sewn, one-of-a-kind
items are made out of primarily recycled material to
minimize impact on the environment.
The sisters note that they are not in the business of
making money, but in the business of making change.
They hope to reinvest their profits into their business
model and replicate it in other areas of the world.

Emerging
Leaders
Institute
Four Emerging Leaders Institutes (ELI) were held this summer at Butler University
(Indianapolis, Ind.). This interactive learning experience included large and small group
discussions, trust building activities and personal reflection. Topics ranged from values
clarification to communication skills to stewardship.
A total of 199 emerging leaders attended the Institutes and received a full scholarship
funded by Alpha Phi Foundation that included travel, lodging and meals. These sophomores
and juniors showed great potential as leaders!
Challenge Course
Members put their values into action by participating in a challenge program. Through
activities such as a climbing wall, zip line and trust fall, they utilized individual strengths
to enhance the team experience. With effective communication, team building and
collaboration, these women got out of their comfort zones.
“ELI helped me build a stronger
connection to Alpha Phi and
reinforced that I made the
right decision by becoming
an Alpha Phi.”
– Jaime Rehm (Eta Mu-Marquette),

“I couldn’t have asked for or
imagined a better experience
than ELI. It gave me the
confidence, knowledge, tools
and support to reach the
goals I have set for myself.
It has better prepared
me to lead my chapter
and prepared me for any
endeavors I attempt in the
professional world. Each
person who was part of the
session I attended is now
someone I know I can trust
and rely upon.”
- Claudia Ash (Theta Nu-Appalachian

Participants had the opportunity to see
how Alpha Phi is a lifetime commitment by
interacting with Indianapolis area alumnae
during a panel moderated by staff.
Values Clarification
Students participated in an exercise that allowed them to determine their

Listening Activity
Participants learned the art of listening and other communication skills through an
interactive activity, where every person had a specific role to achieve an overall goal.
“I found that ELI helped with
my self-confidence, leadership
skills and knowledge of Alpha
Phi values and ritual. I left ELI
feeling empowered and even
more in love with Alpha Phi!”
– Paige Heilbrun (Epsilon Chi-Cal Poly),
Session 3
Content Review
Each small group takes a day of content to
review with the entire group. Skits, songs
and games were used to express what was
learned during the day and made
it a memorable activity.
“ELI has had such a
significant impact on my
life. It has given me that
extra push to fulfill those
ambitions and goals I have
set for my chapter and
myself. I believe it is an
opportunity that no one
should pass up. I am so
thankful for being able
to experience ELI.”
– McKenzie Paterson (Alpha-Syracuse),
Session 2
Thank You, Alpha Phi
Foundation!
The Fraternity would wholeheartedly like
to thank Alpha Phi Foundation for their
generous and continued support of
the Emerging Leaders Institute. Through
this partnership, we have empowered
more than 800 women through the art
of leadership, communication and
teamwork since the first sessions in 2007.

Celebrating
125
Years of the
Alpha Phi Quarterly
Highlights from the magazine
through the years
By Christine Spiegel
July 1888: The first issue of the Alpha Phi Quarterly is published.
The first issue of the Alpha Phi Quarterly magazine was published in July 1888.
It displayed a plain orange wrapper, included 20 pages and had a circulation of
250 copies. It was created as a magazine, and continues to be distributed as such,
consistently publishing for 125 years.
Today, it reaches more than 130,000 readers via mail, and issues of the magazine
back through Fall 2000 are available online. In its century and a quarter, the
magazine has seen continuous changes during its own evolution into an awardwinning publication.
In recognition of the 125th anniversary of the Alpha Phi Quarterly, we share
some noteworthy moments from the magazine’s history and salute those
who have devoted themselves to its journey.
Perhaps no other source provides such an in-depth and fascinating record
of Alpha Phi than the Alpha Phi Quarterly. From accounts of chapter
installations to profiles of members, from listings of addresses to Convention
reports, the Quarterly serves as an unmatched resource. Not only does the
Quarterly preserve so much of Alpha Phi’s history, it also reflects history itself.
The evolution of the magazine parallels the evolution of the Fraternity, higher
education and the women’s fraternal experience.

Alpha Phi Quarterly
Fall 2013
1872
Beginning in 1872 with
the Syracuse (Alpha)
chapter, the Founders
and early members of
Alpha Phi contributed
to the “Literary
Cabinet,” a handwritten journal
devoted to the writings
and work of the
Fraternity sisters.
The journal was
the pre-cursor to
the Quarterly.
After several years
of discussion among
members, the
publication of the
Alpha Phi Quarterly
was authorized
at the 1887 Alpha
Phi Convention.
Everything, down to
the number of pages
(24), was arranged.
A Chicago printer,
Jameson and Morse,
was secured, and
Northwestern (Beta)
chapter was given
editorial reign for the
first year, with Minnie
Moulding [Goodsmith]
(Beta-Northwestern)
appointed editorin-chief. Associate
editors were from the
four existing chapters:
Syracuse (Alpha),
Northwestern (Beta),
DePauw (Gamma)
and Boston (Eta).
The purpose of the magazine
was “to devote our pages to the
discussion of Fraternity questions,
to exchange items, Alpha Phi
news, as well as to recognize
Alpha Phi’s literary talent.”– July 1888 Quarterly
In an 1895
Quarterly,
Editor-in-Chief
Elizabeth
Northup (EtaBoston) urged
all members
to take up a
subscription.
In July 1888, the Alpha Phi Quarterly
made its debut. Cora Allen [McElroy]
(Beta-Northwestern) became the
Quarterly’s first editor when Minnie
Moulding resigned before beginning
the position to get married.
The magazine was to “report the entire
workings of the society and the growth of
each chapter, as well as the whereabouts
of absent sisters to whom we have pledged
undying fidelity.” Members were invited
to participate “not only by subscribing, but
by sending any article or item of news of
common interest.”
The first issue contained only text and
two illustrations – a drawing of the
first chapter house at Syracuse (Alpha)
and one of a piano that was part of an
advertisement. It was the fifth sorority
magazine published.
1887
Quarterly Editors
The editor position itself
and the responsibilities
associated with it have
changed in 125 years.
The first editor was a
volunteer who served in the
position on what today is
considered a “part-time”
basis. Today, the editor is
a full-time member of the
Executive Office staff.
1888
Cora Allen McElroy
(Beta-Northwestern),
1888-90
Cora wrote several articles
for the Quarterly while editor,
and her impact on the
magazine was honored even
after her death. For years,
the magazine carried a Cora
Allen McElroy memorial
article and other tributes.
Cora remained involved in
Alpha Phi and the Greek
world throughout her life.
She was a National
Panhellenic Conference
delegate for 16 years,
chairman of NPC from
1911-12, Alpha Phi’s National
President from 1912-14 and
chairman of the Fraternity’s
Endowment Fund for
six years.
“Don’t sit back with the
complacent fancy that you have
done your whole duty when you
refuse the small subscription
price. If the magazine is not
interesting to you personally,
the welfare of Alpha Phi is,
presumably, and the reputation
of the fraternity depends
more upon the character of its
publication than you perhaps
think … So it is a personal matter
after all with both active member
and alumna, and a question
of loyalty. Have you done your
whole duty, sisters new and old?”
Black and white photographs are introduced in the May 1897
Quarterly and included only sparingly at first.

1895
Jennie DeRemer
Thorburn Sanford
(Alpha-Syracuse),
1890-92
Jennie served as National
President of the Fraternity
from 1887-88 before
being chosen as editor.
She was celebrated as
one of those who was
instrumental in the
building of Syracuse’s
(Alpha) first chapter
house – the first sorority
house in America – in
1886. Jennie also helped
organize the Southern
California Alumnae
Association.
Edith Lynch Bolster
(Eta-Boston), 1892-94
Elizabeth C. Northup
(Eta-Boston), 1894-97
Edith was initiated at
the 1886 Convention
in Boston – the first
Convention to have an
initiation service as part
of its program. During
her time as editor,
the exchange section
became prominent in the
magazine, and several
pages of each issue
were devoted to excerpts
from other sorority and
fraternity magazines.
Most of the articles during her
time as editor reflected her
own personal convictions.
She wrote, “The editorial
department must inevitably
have a personal bias if it is
to become anything more
than a mere record of the
fraternity’s official decrees …
Up to a certain point, being a
mouthpiece is no unworthy
function, but it has its limits.”
A Chicago Tribune
article titled
“Girl Graduates
Again” from July 27,
1890, judged the Alpha
Phi Quarterly as taking
“high rank among
college periodicals.”
1897
Elizabeth introduced columns
which were designed to bring
the larger world of fraternities
and education into focus.
She also introduced “Sparks
From Many Forges,” a column
featuring the work and news
of alumnae, reflecting the
key role the increasing number
of alumnae were playing
in the Fraternity.
Elizabeth was elected National
President in 1897-98 and
continued to write humor
columns for the Quarterly
until 1943.

The July 1904
Quarterly
introduced a
series of essays
chronicling
“distinctive college
customs” on the
various campuses
where its chapters
were housed.
Each offered a
view of life on
the Fraternity’s
12 campuses,
underscoring
differences. M.
Pamelia Clough
(Theta-Michigan)
elaborated on
the vast distance
over which the
link of sisterhood
stretched in a
Quarterly article
titled “Alpha Phi
in the World.” It
highlighted the
fact that Fraternity
members now
resided not only
all over the United
States, but also all
over the world—
from Japan to
India.
The August 1900 issue reported the death of Founder Kate Hogoboom
Gilbert and pictured her with her college daughter, Ruth Gilbert
[Becker] (Alpha-Syracuse), the first Alpha Phi daughter to be initiated
into the Fraternity.
November 1902: The Quarterly, thriving under the direction of Martha
Keefe Phillips (Alpha-Syracuse), issued a special 30th anniversary
edition in honor of the Fraternity’s birthday. It was mailed to all Alpha
Phi sisters. A photograph of the Founders was included, followed by a
dedicatory essay to Dr. Wellesley P. Coddington (professor and advisor
to the Founders), as well as notes from the Founders and a history of the
Fraternity, titled “Thirty Years.”
“Our sisters, women
of ideals and of
similar college
opportunities,”
she wrote, are
“scattered all over
the earth, yet linked
each to each in
the golden chain
binding us in
fraternity.”
The history was written to “show to all our readers the growth of the
fraternity in thirty years. From the work of ten young women we have
seventeen chapters, more than a thousand members, with a constantly
widening circle of influence and usefulness.”
1900
Viola Vernon
Sutter
(Alpha-Syracuse),
1897-1900
Viola, born in Bologna,
Italy, attended Syracuse
University for just a
year before leaving
college and traveling
abroad. She wrote for
the Northern Christian
Advocate and in 1897
wrote and published a
book of poems. When
she became editor, an
issue of the time was
whether alumnae or
collegians would be
able to make better
decisions on behalf
of the Fraternity
moving forward.
Viola’s articles
expressed
both sides.

Cora
Stranahan
Woodward
(Delta-Cornell),
1900
Cora served as
editor-in-chief
for just one issue
before resigning
and assuming
the post of
exchange editor.
She was National
President from
1894-96 and
Visiting Delegate
from 1905-06.
Based on her
experience as
Visiting Delegate,
she urged the
expansion of
Alpha Phi into the
Western states
in her message
to Convention
delegates
in 1906.

1902
Jessie Tyler Peck
(Alpha-Syracuse),
1900-02
During Jessie’s time,
Alpha Phi and all
sororities were still
considered to be in their
formative years. The
“Chapter Round Table”
section of the magazine
became prominent of
this time. The event of
the greatest long-range
significance covered by
the Quarterly at this time
was the first meeting
of the Inter-Sorority
Conference on May
24, 1902, in Chicago.
Called on behalf of
Alpha Phi National
President Margaret
Mason Whitney (ThetaMichigan), its purpose
“was to discuss matters
of vital importance to
fraternities, particularly
the evils connected with
the present methods of
rushing and pledging…”
1904
Martha Aubrie Keefe Phillips
(Alpha-Syracuse), 1902-06
Martha’s first job out of college was
at the Heath Publishing House in
Boston. Known as “Sister Martha,”
she pursued matters of subscription
for the Quarterly.
By 1906, when Martha resigned, the
Quarterly’s subscription list had grown
significantly from 295 to 950.
Elizabeth Stryker Brown
Holbrook (Theta-Michigan),
1906-13
The major focus of the Quarterly during
Elizabeth’s editorship was the InterSorority Conference (which would
become the National Panhellenic
Conference). Magazines also included
Panhellenic Notes, News of the Fraternity
World and many photographs of solemnfaced sisters, as it was not the norm of
the times to smile in photos.
In the 1900s and 1910s, the magazine began showing greater interest in Panhellenism (Alpha Phi was
one of five women’s groups to found what would become the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC)
in 1902). Panhellenic delegates from various groups are pictured in the January 1913 Quarterly.
Beginning in
1918 and through
1922, under the
direction of former
editor Cora Allen
McElroy, appeals
for donations to
the Fraternity’s
Endowment Fund
(which helped pay
for a member’s
subscription to
the magazine in
addition to several
other significant
Fraternity
expenses)
appeared in the
Quarterly over the
course of several
years (at left from
September 1920
issue). Cora’s goal
was to build up the
small fund to an
amazing $50,000
by the time of the
Fraternity’s 50th
anniversary
in 1922.
Many articles described the YWCA “foyer” in Roanne, France, which had
been financially supported by Alpha Phi. It served as a social center for
female munitions workers who were uprooted during and after the war.
This photo appeared in the March 1919 Quarterly.
During the World War I
years (1914-18), chapter
news focused on members
doing their part to help in
the war effort. The Alpha
Phi Quarterly reduced
its page numbers and
suspended the publication
of photographs between
1917-18 in an effort to
conserve resources.
“This dream will
become a reality,”
Cora wrote, “if
every Alpha Phi,
who cannot give
fifty dollars,
will send in five
dollars promptly
to the Fund.”
At the 1920 Convention, with
the magazine’s increased
circulation, size and
production costs, it was
decided to raise the annual
subscription price of the
magazine from $1 to $2 and
discontinue the printing of
advertisements. A plan for
life subscriptions was set
up, and four years later the
lifetime subscription to the
magazine became part of
one’s initiation fee.
1914
1918
Cora’s hard work,
coupled with
the generosity
of Alpha Phi
members, paid
off, and the goal
was reached.
1920
Frances Gay Perkins
(Iota-Wisconsin), 1913-18
Grace J. Sawyer
(Alpha-Syracuse), 1919
Ruth Sanders Thomson
(Beta-Northwestern), 1919-44
In 1917, Frances proposed
to the National Panhellenic
Conference of Editors that the
18 member groups discontinue
their individual publications and
come together to produce one
publication for all, since she
considered all sororities are “fired
with the same inspiration and
work for the same great ideals.”
Fortunately, this was vetoed.
Grace played many roles in
ensuring the success of Alpha
Phi. She was a Visiting Delegate
in 1903-04, housemother at
Oregon (Tau) when the chapter
was founded in 1915 and at
Syracuse (Alpha) that following
year, and she was the National
Panhellenic Congress delegate.
Ruth initially declined to edit the
Quarterly because she wasn’t a
journalist, but accepted when she
married George Franklin Thomson,
who was. She often referred to her
husband as her “co-editor.” The
two were responsible for a new
cover design that continued for
more than a quarter century.
World War I had ended in
November of 1918, but the
issues Grace edited in 1919
continued to be weighted by
war reports.
Ruth served as chairman of the
National Panhellenic Editors’
Conference. She was also historian
of the Fraternity and wrote The
History of Alpha Phi 1872-1902,
which was published in June 1943.

“Plan Wisely
and Live
Economically”
The Great Depression that overshadowed the 1930s impacted articles that appeared in
the Quarterly during those years and the operation of the Fraternity itself. There were
the usual lighthearted news of sisters’ lives and accomplishments, but there were also
reports about unemployment, the New Deal and saving money.
In the January 1933 issue, an article by President Margaretta Orem Lindsay (ZetaGoucher) titled “Plan Wisely and Live Economically” informed members how the
Executive Board has “pared down its budget in every way possible … and made
tentative plans for even greater economy should the occasion arise.”
“This is not pessimism. It is just
intelligent preparedness …
In matters of finance each
chapter is an individual unit
and must stand on its own feet.”
Ruth Sanders Thomson (Beta-Northwestern), editor since
1919, incorporated a new design to the January 1932
cover which continued for more than 25 years. The design
“The General Treasury cannot meet chapter deficits. We can only advise and urge
that each group plan wisely and live economically.”

“The Quarterly has written the
history of a restricted group’s
activities within a larger group
of ever changing educational
and cultural advancement. An
analysis of this record would
show the enlarged opportunity
in the scheme of education for
women – the progress of women’s
freedom – the evolution of differing
accepted standards of morals and
manners – the numerous phases of
women’s growing independence
in their contribution to the world’s
knowledge, betterment and
happiness.”
“Gable Becom
es a Gopher”
“…With pride and expectation,
I rise to offer the toast. ‘To the
Quarterly’s next 50 years, may
they be pregnant with the records
of a greater finer Alpha Phi.’”
A September 1932 article profiled Marion Dale Roper (Beta Delta-UCLA),
who competed in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, Calif., in the
women’s high diving event. The caption at the time read, “She stood
halfway to heaven.”

Fall 2013
— Founder Clara Bradley Burdette
(“Mother Burdette”) wrote in
the January 1938 Quarterly in
recognition of the magazine’s
50th anniversary.
A piece titled “Gable Becomes a Gopher” in the
March 1939 issue describes how Mary Louise
McLaughlin (Epsilon-Minnesota) “stalked” and sold
Gable a homecoming button. The note reads, “Clark
Gable (pitter patter) stopped over in Minneapolis
last fall enroute to California after a hunting trip in
northern Minnesota.”
During the years of World War II (1939-45),
the magazine was filled with details about
members and chapters doing their part,
including a large number of
sisters featured
with every
issue for their
involvement with
the Red Cross
and in women’s
branches of the
armed forces.

Articles also noted the work of sisters who
contributed to the Maple Leaf Fund, launched
by the Fraternity to support war efforts.
The President at the time, Dorothy Stewart
Kernohan (Xi-Toronto) was Canadian (Canada
entered the war before the U.S.) and influential
in creating the fund. Two projects in particular
benefited from it: afghans were donated to
mothers and children in bombed areas of
Britain, and war relief stamps were sold to
purchase surgical kits for emergency use
among civilian victims of air raids in England.
Conventions of 1942 and 1944 were also
postponed because of the war.
June 1944: Lieutenant Edith Norris (Iota-Wisconsin), left, head of recruiting for Wisconsin and
Upper Michigan.
Marian Wiley Keys
(Alpha-Syracuse), 1944-52
Marian came from an Alpha Phi
family consisting of her aunt,
two sisters, two cousins and
her mother, who was National
President from 1902-04. She
told the tale of moving into the
Alpha Phi chapter house for a
summer at Syracuse with her
parents when she was three
months old.
The Make Do and Mend government campaign of the time encouraged people
to ration, recycle and reuse old clothes and other fabrics and resources.
Stemming from this was the popularity of knitting clubs. Several examples
of rationing and knitting appeared in the Quarterly. Pictured in the June
1944 Quarterly are Milwaukee alumnae Frances Cutler Van Patten (BetaNorthwestern) and Abigail Shay Bassett (Theta-Michigan).
Marian’s lifetime of service
for the Fraternity included
being Visiting Delegate in
1925-26 and writing the first
pledge handbook. She served
several times on the Executive
Board and was International
President from 1954-58. She
was also elected chairman
of the National Panhellenic
Editors’ Conference. Marian
always noted her favorite job
was editing the Quarterly. She
continued to contribute after
she resigned to ensure the early
history of Alpha chapter and the
Founders would not be lost.
A January 1942
article titled
“Alpha Phi Stamp
Funds Provide
Four Surgical
Kits, More Than
One Hundred
Afghans Have
Also Been Made”
reported on the
progress of the
Maple Leaf Fund
efforts and called
for additional
support. “The
war that was
waged across
the seas and
was ours only
as we took the
suffering and the
needs of others
as a charge upon
our hearts, now
comes home to
us and makes us
one with all who
have borne its
brunt these long
months, these
weary years.”
”Why aren't you a nurse?“
A March 1943 article titled “Why Aren’t You a Nurse?”
urged members to consider a career in nursing
“to fulfill the armed forces need for 3,000 nurses
a month.” It read, “You have bravely sent your
brothers, friends, dear ones, away to military service.
Now, can you be content to merely knit, or serve in
ordinary ways, and let someone else take care of the
wounded? Your country needs you and is willing to
assist financially; and Alpha Phi and other groups are
contributing to scholarship funds … You can help win
the war by becoming a nurse now. In post-war days,
your opportunities at home and abroad
will be unlimited.”

The October 1950 Quarterly included a message from President
Clara Ingwersen Gregson (Iota-Wisconsin) reflecting the state of the
world at the time and hope for the future, “The world again faces the
confusions and the sorrows of another war. With unrest, suspicion
and insecurity rampant, we have need more than ever before of the
comfort and stability of those institutions which have withstood the
test of time – among which we count our fraternal ties.”
Articles of the 1950s reflected the issues of the time, including the Korean War
and communism, racial discrimination and post-war economic expansion.
Reflective of that time were reports noted and photos of members “entertaining.”
Following the official
adoption of cardiac aid
an Alpha Phi priority in 1946 and the establishment of the Alpha Phi
Foundation in 1956, it was common to view photos of and reports
about chapters’ work toward the Heart Campaign and National
Heart Week. This has remained a priority for both Alpha Phi and the
magazine through the present.
“Communism: Know What It's All Abou
March 1950: There were a significant number of photos of people entertaining, or hosting teas,
in this decade. In this photo, Pauline Warning pours a cup of tea to honor Georgia Neese Clark
(Upsilon-Washburn), the first female Treasurer of the United States, serving from 1949-53.

A two-page article in the June 1952 magazine was a suggested list of
summer reading titled “Communism: Know What It’s All About!” and
an October 1953 reprinted article was written by J. Edgar Hoover about
“Communism and the College Student.”

Margaret Knights Hultsch
(Beta Nu-Duke, Rho-Ohio State, Beta-Northwestern
and Omicron-Missouri), 1958-92
Janet began as assistant
editor in October 1948 and
became editor four years
later. Her greatest innovation
was the introduction of
photographic covers. During
her time as editor, the
Quarterly reported on two
momentous events – the
acquisition of the Fraternity’s
first headquarters building in
Evanston, Ill. and the launch
of Alpha Phi Foundation – both
occurring in 1957.
During her term, Janet brought
a new look to the magazine,
adding the first photo to a
cover (January 1954), making
changes to the contents page,
incorporating more photos
throughout the magazine and
including the first inserted
section on color pages
(“Complete Rushing and
Recommendation Data
1956-57,” Summer 1956).
“Communism and the College Student”

Janet Powers McGurn
(Beta-Northwestern), 1952-57
During her editorship, Marge was a pioneer for the
magazine and for Greek magazines in general,
serving as chairman of the National Panhellenic
Editors’ Conference from 1961-63. The magazine
received numerous writing and design awards,
including being voted top sorority magazine by other
Greek editors several times in the 1960s and 1970s. It
continued to consistently win in the 1980s in National
Interfraternity Foundation and College Fraternity
Editors’ Association competitions.
In 1969, the Quarterly became the first sorority
magazine to be professionally designed. Paul Fisher,
professor of magazine design at the University
of Missouri School of Journalism designed the
magazine for 23 years with Marge.
Marge received the Ivy Vine Award in 1988, presented
by Alpha Phi International in honor of outstanding
service to the Greek world. Marge has been
published in national publications such as Good
Housekeeping and The Wall Street Journal as well.
Marge is the Quarterly's longest-serving editor.

Marge was the Quarterly’s first full-time editor
and began her term working out of Alpha Phi’s
headquarters in Evanston, Ill. After marrying and
moving to Columbia, Mo., she continued another 30
years working out of her home – eventually moving
from full- to part-time.

The Summer 1957 magazine included an article titled “Oh to
be the Wife of a Congressman! By Two Who Know,” written by
Marie Thomsen Schoeppel (Nu-Nebraska), wife of former Kansas
Senator Andrew F. Schoeppel, and Norma Wells Younger (SigmaWashington), wife of former California Congressman J.
Arthur Younger.
The Quarterly of the 1970s
included quite the range of
topics – from letters supporting
soldiers in Vietnam to notes
about protests against the war, to
articles about women’s roles and
the Equal Rights Amendment.
There was also discussion about
consumerism, drug abuse and
hazing among collegians and the
troubled fraternal movement.
Fall 1960: "Politicos – Chicago area Alpha Phis greet Toni
Hatfield at hotel convention headquarters.”
Summer 1972
Summer 1973
The Summer 1973 Quarterly
article titled “The Fraternity’s
Greatest Concerns” noted “In the
seventies the role of the woman
in society is undergoing vast
evolutionary changes. So, too,
the role of the sorority woman
has been affected.
The issues of the 1960s most covered in the
Quarterly were women’s rights, status of women
in employment and education, Vietnam and
race discrimination among others. The Winter
1965 issue profiled a sister who volunteered with
the Peace Corps shortly after it was established.
A Winter 1960 article titled “The Right
to Select” stated,
She has to
defend her
organization
and prove
the worth of
the sorority
to many.”
“Whether it is
wise or desirable
for a fraternity or
a sorority to be
interracial
as far as its membership is concerned is a
question for that organization to decide
and that organization alone.”
Winter 1973: “This is Alpha Phi. All membership records, which formerly
consumed one whole room, are now stored on this reel of magnetic tape
a mere ten inches in diameter!”
1963
1976
The Summer 1963
issue celebrates
another milestone
for the Quarterly
and includes a
seven-page article,
“A Memoir on
a 75th Anniversary,”
written by Marian
Wiley Keys (AlphaSyracuse), historian
at that time.
She writes,
"…In fraternity
journalism, as
in the popular
magazine of the
day, great changes
are taking place,
and the magazine
of yesterday bears
little resemblance
to the one of today
save in the name.
What the magazine
of tomorrow will
be – who knows?"
Winter 1975: “Ball State Phis find that there’s nothing like sorority uniforms to create chapter unity and identity
on an unhoused campus. The suits all match. Chapter members express individuality with their own ties,
sweaters and blouses.”
“The Adventure of being a Wife”
“Marriage is the most exhilarating, self-satisfying career a woman can have”
The Winter 1976 issue featured the first
full-color cover, along with some internal
color photos. It introduced the new
Executive Office in Evanston, Ill.
“Crusading for Planned Parenthood”
Feature story headlines from the 1970s.
Fall 2013
Alpha Phi Quarterly
19
Hot topics during
the 1990s included
extension, recruitment
and the future of the
fraternity system.
Articles about
Watchcare and risk
management focused
on the dangers of
alcohol and drug
abuse, warnings about
acquaintance rape
and abuse. Alpha
Phi International’s
progress in the world of
technology was touted,
as Alpha Phi became
the first NPC group
to launch a website,
featured in the
Spring 1996 issue.
Recurring topics during the 1980s included the increasing issue of alcohol
and drug use on campus and the effects of hazing and other “demeaning”
activities. A new hot topic was “legacies,” or daughters, granddaughters
or sisters of Alpha Phis. Women’s rights and the feminist movement
were discussed.
A Winter 1982 “Phi Mail” letter noted “I’m the product of my era, but
I also have a daughter, 23, who is articulate about her generation and the
feminist movement… So I also find objectionable the use of the word ‘girls’
by Quarterly correspondents in the ‘Bear Tracks’ section.”
The magazine soon after
began using the word
“women” rather than
“girls” to describe sisters of
college age and older.
Spring 1992: Kimberly
Williams (BetaNorthwestern) debuts in
“Father of the Bride.”
The magazine
won first place
in the National
Interfraternity
Foundation's
Publications
Awards for the
article “Should
Women’s Fraternities
Go Co-Ed?,”
printed in the Winter
1994 Quarterly.
Fall 1988:
“The Alpha Phi
Quarterly, celebrating
its centennial, was
in the spotlight all
of Convention week.
Posing with the
Quarterly display in the
Memorabilia Room are,

Marge Hultsch, alumnae

Winter 1980: The
Quarterly was
“named the
Top Women’s
Fraternity
Magazine out of
a field of twentysix contenders
by a panel of
Greek fraternity
editors.”
Ginny became editor after
serving as International
President (1990-94).
Her service to Alpha Phi
has also included being
a Foundation Board
director, NPC delegate
and on the International
Housing Committee –
all within the
same timeframe.

Lesli Davis Clarke
[previously
Nadolski]
(Beta-Northwestern),
1995-98
In addition to serving
as editor, Lesli was
an advisor to Emory
(Theta Pi). In one of her
messages to readers,
she said, “In many ways,
the Quarterly is the
heart and soul of Alpha
Phi. It is what keeps
us connected, and it
belongs to all of us.”
“Looking for a Fun Tax Shelter?
Then Buy a Chapter House”
Feature story headline from the 1980s.
Winter 1990: Lynn
Zimmerman (BetaNorthwestern), Miss
Illinois, was third
runner-up in the Miss
America Pageant.
Today, Lynn goes by
Jeri Ryan and is a wellknown actress, most
recently seen on ABC’s
“Body of Proof.”
The Fraternity world
and Alpha Phi joined in
the push for “political
correctness” in the late
1990s and early 2000s,
and the Quarterly
followed suit. Changes
in terminology
included referring to
“recruitment” rather
than “rush,” “new
member” instead
of “pledge,” “holiday”
instead of “Christmas,”
and so on.
Anne Pratt,
1998-99
Anne was the first
member of another
Greek organization
(Kappa Delta) to serve
as editor of the Quarterly.
When she was hired
in the late 1990s,
her employment was
somewhat progressive on
Alpha Phi’s part. Today,
there are a significant
number of editors who
work for magazines of
fraternities/sororities
other than their own.
The Spring 1996 article titled “Alpha Phi
Enters Cyberspace” noted, “Lately, many
Alpha Phis have discovered the benefits of
e-mail and the Internet … New technologies
provide wonderful opportunities to increase
unity and sisterhood, foster greater
alumnae involvement and facilitate faster,
more economical communication amongst
members … The Internet is an important
part of Alpha Phi’s future.”
The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. were at the forefront of the minds of
sisters immediately following the tragedy, and the magazine reflected the
mourning, efforts to assist those affected immediately after and the changes
to the way of life moving forward, including involvement in wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
A Winter 2002 article titled “Sept. 11: Remembering and Caring” noted,
“Alpha Phis responded to the Sept. 11 national tragedy with donations
of time and money, as well as support for the people and communities
directly affected.
In the early 2000s, the Quarterly
followed the magazine trend of
the time and featured “themed”
issues that carried throughout
the majority of the magazine. The
“Protecting Yourself” theme of the
Spring 2004 issue, for example,
included topics of self-defense,
identity theft, acquaintance
rape and health screenings and
extended to “protecting the
leaders of tomorrow” via training
and other collegiate programs.
More than $15,000 was
raised for the Alpha Phi
Sept. 11 Disaster Relief Fund,
established by the Fraternity and Foundation.” The article paid tribute to the
sister who was killed in the World Trade Center attacks, Kristy Irvine Ryan
(Zeta Psi-Dayton). The Summer 2002 Quarterly featured sisters who served
in the military and emergency services.
Sisters also shared their involvement with or response to natural disasters.
The 2004 tsunami in East Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2010
earthquake in Haiti and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 were noted among others.
The age of new media and social media
that brought about significant changes
in the 2000s and continues today
has impacted how Alpha Phi – and
the Quarterly – collects information
from sisters and communicates with
them. The first complete issue of the
magazine to be posted online for sisters
to view, download, print and share
was the Fall 2000 Quarterly. Today,
most material is submitted online and
most correspondence is conducted via
email – a far cry from the handwritten
submissions that were mailed to the
editor for the first issues.
Christine Spiegel
(1999-Present)
Christine is also a
member of another Greek
organization (Delta Zeta),
but has been with the
magazine long enough
that she now knows
more about Alpha Phi
and its members than
her own group. Under
Christine, the magazine
has continued the awardwinning trend set by
Marge Hultsch, annually
receiving awards for both
writing and design.
Among the more
prestigious is
the Fraternity
Communications
Association
Fred F. Yoder Award.
Coming Soon!
You’ll be able to view, search,
print and download historic
issues of the Quarterly online!
Alpha Phi Foundation will
generously be funding a digital
archiving project, beginning
with the first issue and moving
forward. The project will begin
this year. In the meantime,
recent issues from Fall 2000
to the present are available
at alphaphi.org (keywords:

to Fall 2000 found online
were not posted by Alpha Phi
International and did not have
our permission to re-publish.
Tribute to an
Alumnae Editor
There have been a number of
women who have also served
as assistant or associate editors
and alumnae editors over
the years. We would like to
recognize one of those women,
who passed away this year.
Ann Freeman Emrich
(Beta Gamma-Colorado),
Alumnae Editor, 1964-92
Ann started writing for her
hometown newspaper at
age 16. She worked for radio
stations in Colorado, completed
freelance assignments for
the Denver Post and other
newspapers and periodicals,
and she wrote throughout her
life. Her older sister, Eleanor
Freeman Hutchinson (Beta
Gamma-Colorado), led her
to Alpha Phi.
Perhaps most popular among
Ann’s contributions to the
Quarterly was the career series
she created to introduce women
to a variety of careers and
feature successful Alpha Phis
who work in them. The series
ran 10 years.
Fall 2000 and Summer 2002 Quarterly covers show two different masthead designs of
the 2000s. The redesign was implemented in the Fall 2001 issue.
“From Nail Biter to Celebrity Manicurist”
“Special Agent’s Career Reads Like a Movie”
Feature story headlines from the 2000s.
Ann held nearly every office
in the Denver, Colo., alumnae
chapter, being involved more
than 20 years. In 1986, she
was presented Alpha Phi
International’s Michaelanean
Award for her dedicated service
on the local level. Ann was the
longest-serving editor in an
assistant position – 28 years.
During her service, her son,
Gary was a photographer and
provided several cover photos
for the magzine.

Announcing the Alumnae
Affinity Program
The alumnae strategy team (AST) is pleased to announce the
launch of its alumnae affinity program.
The purpose of the program is to encourage, facilitate and
support the relationship of alumnae with their collegiate
chapters. This includes enhancing communications via social
media and in person. The hope is that these connections
will not only keep new graduates connected to Alpha Phi
immediately following graduation, but actively engage alumnae
in Alpha Phi membership for a lifetime.
To begin fostering and rekindling the connections of alumnae
to their chapter sisters and Alpha Phi, a group of pilot chapters
has been selected:

Pin Created
in Memory of
Beloved Sister
In memory of a dear and
loyal sister, Ann Freeman
Emrich (Beta GammaColorado), Denver
alumnae Jean Creamer
Hodges (Rho-Ohio State)
and Deirdre Bainbridge
Nalven (Iota-Wisconsin)
designed and gifted
a beautiful alumnae
president’s lazy Phi
traveling pin to be worn by
presidents of the Denver
alumnae chapter during
their terms in office.
Ann was a long-time
member of the Denver
alumnae chapter,
holding nearly every
office. She received
Alpha Phi International’s
Michaelanean Award in
1986 for her outstanding
loyalty and continuous
devotion to Alpha Phi at
the local level. Ann was
a reporter and columnist
for the Denver Post and
later the Washington Park
Profile (Denver, Colo.). She
served as the alumnae
editor of the Alpha Phi
Quarterly from 1964-92.
The pin was presented by
Deirdre and Jean to the
current and continuing
president, Heather Smart
Brevik (Zeta Mu-Colorado
State). This pin will be a
treasure for all who are
elected to wear it and a
lovely remembrance of
a truly remarkable sister.

Celebrating 70 Years at
Bowling Green State
(Beta Omicron)
Charter Member Ruthanna Fridley Allion won a quilt that
was raffled. She is pictured with Kathryn Cook Crider.
The 70th anniversary of Bowling Green State
(Beta Omicron) was celebrated in April.
More than 300 sisters, including members
from every decade, gathered to say goodbye
to the chapter house they have all called
home. A new house will be built as part of a
university decision to tear down all existing
fraternity and sorority houses on campus to
create a Greek Village.
The celebration featured a brunch that
kicked off the beginning of a fundraising
campaign for the new house and collected
close to $2,300. The house corporation
board presented Charter Member Ruthanna
Fridley Allion with her 65-year pin. Sally
Cook Conley Wannamaker, Karen Warden
Suchy, Sue Delap Whitmer and Kathie
Ledger Rasbach received 50-year pins.
Attendees also enjoyed Founders’ Day
and Loving Cup ceremonies. One alumna said it best when she wrote,
“It has been over 30 years since I’ve seen
many of these ladies, but once we saw one
another, it felt like only 30 minutes.”
Visit Beta Omicron’s Facebook page for updates
on the new house.

Forever Home in Alpha Phi Housing Highlights
Alpha Phi
International Hosts
Housing Academy
On June 14, 2013, more than 20 house
corporation board (HCB) and chapter
property committee (CPC) members
representing 17 collegiate chapters traveled
to Evanston, Ill., for this year’s Housing
Academy.
The Northwestern (Beta) chapter and
its HCB graciously hosted the attendees
throughout the weekend. Housing Academy
is designed to provide the training necessary
for housing volunteers to manage HCBs
and CPCs that are charged with providing
safe, quality, competitive housing and
meeting facilities for undergraduate chapter
members. Educational sessions covered a
wide variety of topics, including current
trends in interior design, emergency
planning,
Americans with
Disabilities Act
compliance, board
governance and a
broad spectrum
of important
legal topics. All attendees were also treated
to a sneak peek into the latest updates,
developments and resources that will be
coming down the pipeline from Alpha Phi’s
Executive Office. While the weekend was packed with
educational programming, attendees’
favorite aspect of the weekend was the
opportunity to learn from each other and
share stories and experiences. Participants
Introducing the National
Housing Corporation
left the academy energized and excited
about their leadership roles and armed with
more knowledge to take back to the other
members of their housing teams. HCBs and CPCs should earmark funds
now to plan on attending this valuable
training opportunity next year.
Alpha Phi International is always seeking housing
volunteers to join these teams regardless of
experience level. Email hgray@alphaphi.org
if you are interested in learning more.
The National Housing Corporation (NHC) is an
organization that aims to assist Alpha Phi house
corporation boards (HCB) in providing safe, wellmanaged and appealing facilities for collegiate
members. The NHC accomplishes this goal through
the purchase and ownership of chapter facilities as
well as through provision of business management
services to local HCBs.
The NHC has contracted with nationally-recognized
companies to develop and manage cost effective
services to help ease the workload of HCB members.
These providers were selected based on their
professional expertise and experience working with
nonprofit organizations and Greek organizations.
Insuring the safety of collegians is a top responsibility
– if not the most important responsibility – of house
corporation boards. It takes a considerable financial
investment to meet local fire safety codes and keep
safety systems and equipment in working order.
By pairing with multiple financial and insurance
companies, the NHC assists HCBs in providing
facilities with a high level of safety while also saving
HCBs time and money.

Alpha Phi Foundation Announces Publication of
Alpha Phi International
Fraternity: The First Fifty Years
(1872-1922), Union Hand in Hand
This history of the first 50 years of Alpha
Phi International Fraternity tells the stories
of our Founders and other early members
who shaped a sisterhood that lives on today.
The measure of their greatness was in
their actions. Our Founders were among
the first women admitted to Syracuse
University; and while their circumstances
were lonely and uncertain at times, they
were brave and mature beyond their years,
determined to make a place for themselves
and for other women in the world. They
knew their success would depend on their
ability to find support, and it was this
longing for sisterhood that inspired the
formation of Alpha Phi Fraternity.
The publication of Alpha Phi International
Fraternity: The First Fifty Years (1872-1922),
Union Hand in Hand begins a three-volume
series documenting Alpha Phi’s rich 150year history, the final nine years of which
have yet to take place. The purpose of this
project is to capture the extraordinary
determination of generations of women
who believed in higher education, the value
of equality, and the prerogative to manage
their own lives. Volume one introduces
40
Alpha Phi Quarterly
Fall 2013
readers to stories that are both familiar and
new. It follows the surge in membership
in the midst of war and resistance to
coeducation, and celebrates the Fraternity’s
many “firsts.” It’s sure to inspire us all to
continue the legacy of the women who
created a sisterhood that has spanned
generations and is well poised for the future.
This first volume has been four years in
the making. We give special thanks to Alpha
Phi Foundation’s archivist, Jenny Thompson
(Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate), who
spent tireless hours researching, writing,
editing, gathering photos and guiding the
production of this book. Jenny’s expertise,
her writing style and her genuine interest
in women’s history made the stories of
Alpha Phi’s first 50 years come to life like
a modern novel. Her work was supported
by the women who serve with her on the
Foundation Heritage Committee: Terri
Ostlund Brooks (Gamma Tau-Williamette),
Ann Brinkman Carstensen (Zeta DeltaIowa State), Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra
(Delta Theta-Western Michigan), Margaret
Knights Hultsch (Beta-Northwestern),
Valerie Lawlor (Omicron-Missouri),
Linda Morford Neugebauer (Delta PhiIndiana U. of Pennsylvania), Phyllis Sims
Selig (Gamma Delta-Kansas), Meagan
Spellman and Darcel Atwill Weller (Gamma
Iota-Texas Tech). Their collective and
vast knowledge of the Fraternity was
instrumental in ensuring the authenticity
of the stories shared. We extend another
special thanks to Kathleen Feeney Hiemstra
(Delta Theta-Western Michigan) whose lead
gift inspired others to invest in this project.
Kathy’s generosity and belief that our
history is one of our greatest assets made
this project possible. Final thanks goes to
the following women who made important
contributions to this book: Laura Jen Kin
Berger (Gamma Kappa-CSU/Long Beach),
Nancy Owen Craig (Beta Chi-Bucknell),
Emily Ellison Lamb (Gamma Iota-Texas
Tech), Linda Gardner Massie (Delta AlphaEastern Carolina) and Christine Spiegel.
Own a Piece of
Alpha Phi History!
Just in time for the holidays, this book
will be an inspiration and treasured
reminder of early years in Alpha Phi.
It makes a perfect gift for chapter
sisters, graduating seniors, alumnae,
and anyone interested in women’s
history. Learn more about this book
and how to purchase your copies

The Alpha Phi Foundation mission
– advancing women’s lives through the power of philanthropy –
is simple in phrase but momentous in meaning, as evidenced by
the statistics below. These numbers represent
lives transformed,
skills strengthened, and
investments made
in three of the biggest issues facing our society today –
increased educational costs, few women in leadership
roles, and heart disease.
Because you believe in
advancing women’s lives,
this past year we were able to help more Alpha Phi women
become better students, better sisters, and better citizens.
Your gifts made it
all possible.
Power of 1000 …
Our Million Dollar Mission
Over 100 alumnae stepped up to join our million dollar mission
this past year. Alpha Phi Foundation’s Power of 1000 giving
circle recognizes donors who contribute $1,000 or more
in a fiscal year. To view a list of Power of 1000 donors, visit
alphaphifoundation.org.
Each Power of 1000 donor receives a beautiful custom
scarf designed by New York fashion designer Marisol
Deluna (Alpha Lambda-Alumna Initiate). It is a token
of our appreciation, and an outward symbol of
their commitment to empower
the next generation
of women to be
philanthropic leaders.
Step up and
become a Power of
1000 woman today!

Gold Society Celebrates
Sixth Anniversary
Alpha Phi Foundation’s Gold Society, an elite
network of young alumnae supporting Alpha
Phi Foundation, recently celebrated its sixth
anniversary. The Gold Society continues to
provide an opportunity for young alumnae
to stay connected while helping Alpha Phis
and women everywhere through supporting
Alpha Phi Foundation’s vital programs. Gold
Society officers travel throughout the United
States and Canada to meet face to face with
Alpha Phi’s young alumnae – from recent
graduates to those advancing their careers
and roles in their homes and communities –
all who are dedicated to making a difference
with a global impact.
Since 2007, Gold Society donors have
pledged nearly $600,000 in support of Alpha
Phi Foundation’s programs. Since October
2012, Gold Society development officers
have met with more than 400 alumnae,
traveling to 51 cities. Currently, there are
nearly 350 Gold Society donors.
The Team
Melissa “Missy” Wagasy (Beta BetaMichigan State), director of special
campaigns and programs, has been leading
the Gold Society team for more than three
years. Missy is joined by Gold Society
Development Officers Jennifer “Jenn” Barton

Alpha Phi Quarterly
Fall 2013
(Theta Phi-Christopher Newport) and Kelly
Ryan (Eta Alpha-New Hampshire).
Missy brings a wealth of experience to
this new Gold Society team and has been
with the Foundation for six years. In her
first three years, she served as program
manager and has been managing the Gold
Society donor program since 2010.
“I continue to find working with our
Gold Society donors incredibly inspiring
and rewarding,” says Missy. “It’s amazing to
have the opportunity to meet with Alpha
Phi alumnae, hear their stories and share
how their interests and the Foundation’s
programs align.”
Missy’s Gold Society visits are focused
in the Midwest and South Central U.S.
and Canadian provinces. As a collegian,
she was chapter president, vice president
of chapter operations and director of
administration for Michigan State (Beta
Beta). Missy has served the Fraternity in a
variety of roles, from chapter advisor for
Michigan State (Beta Beta) to silver circle
facilitator at the Emerging Leaders Institute
(ELI), and is currently the Foundation staff
representative for the alumnae strategy
team (AST). She earned a master of arts
in public relations from Michigan State
University in 2008 and a certificate in
fund raising management from Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis
in 2013.
Jenn joined Alpha Phi Foundation
as a Gold Society development officer
in October 2012. She meets with young
alumnae for the Gold Society in the
Northwest and Southeast U.S. and Canadian
provinces. As a collegian, Jenn served in
various roles on the Christopher Newport

director of alumnae relations, director of
This fall we are proud to announce
the launch of The Gold Connection,
an e-newsletter focused exclusively
on news and events relevant to our
Gold Society community. And what a

to join their Gold Society sisters in

publicity and director of philanthropy.
These experiences inspired her to earn
a master of public administration from
George Mason University and establish a
career in the nonprofit world.
“I’m forever grateful to Alpha Phi for
igniting my passion for philanthropy and
inspiring me to have a career where I can
help and serve women everywhere,”
says Jenn.
As an alumna, Jenn has served as a
chapter leadership development facilitator
and a silver circle facilitator at ELI.
Kelly also joined Alpha Phi Foundation
as a Gold Society development officer in
October 2012. She travels to the Northeast
and Southwest U.S. and Canadian
provinces. Kelly was initiated at James
Madison (Iota Theta) and transferred to
New Hampshire (Eta Alpha) during her
sophomore year. As a collegian, Kelly was
chapter president, vice president of program
development and director of scholarship
for New Hampshire (Eta Alpha). Kelly
has served the Fraternity as a silver circle
facilitator at ELI and as a Bystander
Behavior Prevention facilitator.
“I have been given many opportunities as
a collegian, volunteer and staff member to
see first hand that Alpha Phi is a network
of accomplished women,” says Kelly. “The
Gold Society is a way in which to connect
these women, while sharing the growth
and continued success of our organization.
It enables alumnae to feel more connected
through supporting the Foundation and
its mission.”
The Gold Society gives alumnae a way to
connect no matter where they are now or
plan to be in the future. With Gold Society
donors in nearly every state and in many
Canadian provinces, it provides young
alumnae with a vast network that goes
beyond their location. Gold Society donors
are also provided with purposeful ways to
tap into that network through the Gold
Society Facebook page, LinkedIn group,
e-newsletters and receptions.
Stay Involved. Make a difference.
Join the Gold Society!

Collegiate Chapters
Take Center Stage!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new blog. Designed
specifically to highlight our collegiate chapters for their many
philanthropic successes, the Foundation’s blog is full of spotlights
on specific chapter events, awards and honors recognition.
Last year the women in our collegiate chapters raised over
$1.7 million to support our shared mission of advancing women’s
lives through the power of philanthropy. Focus on Philanthropy
celebrates these philanthropic achievements and the chapters
behind them. It also provides a place for collegiate chapters to share and learn from
one another.
Each month we’ll be featuring a different chapter in our Chapter Spotlight.

1872 Society Celebrates
20th Anniversary
This past year, Alpha Phi Foundation celebrated the 20th anniversary of the
1872 Society. Established in 1992 and inaugurated during the 120th year of our
Fraternity’s founding, this giving society recognizes donors who have contributed
$1,872 or more in their lifetime to support the Foundation’s vital programs. Each
member of this special society receives an exclusive 1872 pin.
During the 20th anniversary year, the Foundation welcomed 22 new members to
the 1872 Society. Today, a total of 1,083 Alpha Phi members have joined this donor
circle. The extraordinary support and commitment of these sisters who wear the
1872 pin is a tribute to the ideals of our sisterhood. Through their generosity
and loyalty, they are advancing women’s lives through the power of
philanthropy. To learn more about the 1872 Society and to

141 years ago,
10 young women
joined hand in hand
to begin one unique story.
Today, we’re still telling it.
Today, we’re still making history.
Alpha Phi International Fraternity:
The First Fifty Years (1872-1922),
Union Hand in Hand
This first volume of a three-volume book set celebrates Alpha Phi’s first 50 years (1872-1922) – welcoming
Frances E. Willard as our first alumna initiate who later became International President, building the first sorority
house in North America and the social issues and changing roles of women that shaped the Fraternity.
