... From the Grand Archon Dear Sifters,

AI 1/Je dose of Con~·enlion, many of llf made a promife 10 oursl'lves and 10 each o1her 1h01 1/us would be a Phi Sig year, 1ha1 we would MAKE

i1 a Phi Sig year hy hard work and devo1ion and by caring. And a/ler only eig/11 wuks, we look like we're going to make i1--allthe way.

My telephone llaw'1 stopped ringing since !>Chool opened. From our chapten all over 1/Je counlry, 1he reporls have been just glowing, reports of a new spirit, of !'i.rters really working together for a common goal, of successful rushe.r. and oj real hopes jot chaptl!r stabilily and grow1h.

A lot oj 1lre entlrufiafm and 1he new ideas are a direc1 result of Con­vention. 1 here isn'1 IIIIlCh I can 1ell you about it that you haven't already heard or won't be able to pick up by reading Bobbi's articles.

We worked hard, and played a liule. got trememlous amounts accom­plished-and cried. Yes, cried. The way only SISiers who truly love and understand one another can cry over shared problems. The spirit was unbelievable. And so was the etulwsiarm! It hardly seems possible that we could h01•e accomplished ro much and grown 10 know each other so well in .10 short a period of time. In all my yean as a Phi Sigma Sigma I don'1 think I ever experienced 1/Je depths and the magic of sisterhood ar I did at this Convemion when, exh011S1ed from the effort yet tim/led with the progress we were making, one hundred of u.r sat in a room and cried. I'll always remember Philadelphia '71 as the "Kleenex Convention."

The most important thing it what each oj us took away from Conven­tion--a commitment to our Sorority, to our chapter, tmdergrad and rlltmt. a dNermination to pull tOJ?ether to make it work. and real pride in ourselves, in 1vhat we are and what we know we can become.

Our collective resolve is paying off handsomely already. It seems that caring CAN he conwgious. The concept of sisterhood has suddenly taken on new lu1tre and relevance. Having fun together. sharing and exploring life's more serious side together have suddenly reentered tire lexicon.

Our continued determination will make all the difference. If we can care enough to cry, we can care enough to succeed.

Let's keep aiming lriglr.

Fraternally yours,

Jeanine Jacobs Goldberg, Grand Archon

On April 11 , 1970, Beta Xi Omega became Clarion tate Pledge Chapter of Phi Sigma ig­ma. Thu<> began the long and, at times, eemingly never-end ing trek toward fu ll !>isterhood. Dur­ing that year, the sisters entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, panicipated in the Heart Fund Drive, babysat for a locaJ church, ini tiated a drive to buy a televi­sion for the infirmary, and joined m the activities of Greek Week­end on campus. Carol Hooper gave a tremendous boo t to the soror­ity's name by becoming a semi­fi nalist in the Mis~ CSC Beauty Pagean t. Of course, during this time, the 'listers were busy learn­tng the Greek alphabet, Phi Sig colors and motto, past Grand

Archons, and the other sundry facts contained in the pledge manual.

Finally, May 7, 1971, arrived and with it came Endowment Fund Chairman Rwlr Victorlraus Rosen, D ivi ion 6 Advisor Eileen Swart-:;, and Gamma Alpha sis­ters. When the week-end ended, Gamma Gamma Chapter of Phi

1gma Sigma was a reality with 21 sisters and 4 alumnae.

Now, with their bright. shiny new pin . the sisters are forging ahead to bnng more honor to Phi

igma Sigma. The way will not always be an easy one and steps may falter now and then, but there will always be the Jove and a1d of other isters to help Gam­ma Gamma "Aim High."

Awarcls Brunch

Excerpts From Grand Archon's Address Two years ago I stood before

you and, with the optimism of the untried, said that though it was a privilege and a pleasure to be installed as your Grand Archon, it was neither the privilege nor the pleasure that had impelled me to accept the honor, but simply that l believed in Phi Sigma Sig­ma. Then, as now, and aCter two very trying years. I accept this honor once again because I STILL believe in Phi Sigma Sig­ma.

I have often said that a re­warding sorority experience in­volves a careful mix of both du­ties and responsibili ties on the one hand and pleasures and re­wards on the other. These past two years have offered me a full experience. I would be remiss if I did not publicly thank the mem­bers of my Council who worked so very hard and patiently with me and with whom I have devel­oped a closeness in the bond of sisterhood that even I did not think possible. I also want to thank those undergraduates, alum­nae advisors. and parents who heeded the call and worked with us so tirelessly. What neither side could do alone, we have man­aged to pull off together.

We have had our share of suc­cesses and failures over the past two years. At our Council meet­ings we have tried to gain some perspective as to what it was that made our successes possible and what it was that led to our re­verses. The common denominator in all of them seems to be the degree of member participation and commitment. When such commitment exists, we seem able to overcome almost unbelievable obstacles; where it is missing, we seem unable to take advantage of even those forces working in our favor.

... The failures were in every case gratuitous and unnecessary. A little more caring, a little more relaxing, a little more communi­cating might have made the differ­ence. The long and the short of it i-; that there are lots of excuses for not making it, but if a group wants to make it badly enough, they'll make it.

Do T have a single recipe that will guarantee success? No, not really. The basic ingredients are the same, of course-mutual re­spect; commitment, liking each other, having fun and so on. But like any other recipe, the in­gredients can be combined in al­most limitless combinations ac­cording to local needs and tastes and will still yield a palatable product. Like any good recipe, the basic ingredients, regardless of proportions, have to be there somewhere. Then they must be blended and kneaded together ~ith, as the commercial says, ·JUSt a touch of love."

But good ingredients alone

won't make a good casserole. Someone has to take them and actively work them together, make the decisions about propor­tion, consistency, taste, even as­sume the responsibility for gathering the ingredients together in the first place-in short, pro­vide leadership. Dedicated com­mitted leadership is the one item no recipe can provide. It is the in­dispenstble catalyst that makes it all hang together. It is the func­tion YOU must fiU if your chapter is to pull together over the next two years ... H ow you exercise your leadership potential will make all the difference. Jt is an awesome responsibility, I know, but let me assure you from per­sonal experience, it is well worth the burden . . . Each chapter officer must renew her determina­tion to work for and assure that her chapter which is now on top will stay on top. The job is re­warding and can be fun. But like Winston Churchill, each of us must say every day, " I will not remain in this office in order to preside over the dissolution of something I believe in."

. . . Our alumnae chapters, too. could learn from the lessons of this biennium. The success of our sorority depends equally on their willingness to become in­volved. The excuses for failure are numerous-no new blood coming up. long distances to travel. baby sitter problems, "other commitments," and just plain being tired. But in truth, the alumnae chapters that have developed meaningful programs, that became involved in the work­ings of undergraduate chapters in their area, that have truly sought out and opened their ranks to new members and have welcomed the friendships offered, those alum­nae chapters have thrived.

In addition to the excitement over fluctuating chapter fortunes, this biennium has witnessed the realization of a number of major developments which I outlined in my address two years ago. As promised, our chapters over the past two years have assumed a much more active voice in de­termining where we are going as a National. T he undergraduate representation at Council meet­ings that I proposed two years ago has become a reality; mem­bership has grown from three on the Council of my first year to six for this coming year. And I hope to add an independent voice from our alumnae chapters this year as well. After all, Phi Sig belongs to all of us; we a ll ought to be directly represented.

1 also spoke two years ago of improving the whole process of budgetary planning. The pilot program of area financial advisors initiated this year by Sarena has proved successful and will be continued and expanded. The re-

quired audits, timely submission of budgets, and centralization of financia l reports have assured us that money would be on hand when it was needed. The new re­quirement for an additional sig­nature from Central Office on reserve accounts is geared to the same end and will, in addition, prevent the loss of chapter bank account~. We have al~o begun a national approach to the collec­tion of accounts receivable which has been a big help. ... Our Foundation has been

greatly strengthened this past year under the able guidance of its new president, Fayga Berkowitz. Poli­cies have been rewritten and tightened, goals have been refined, energy redirected. Its tax exempt status was approved by Internal Revenue so that all the interest earned on our deposits is tax free and all contributions made to it are now tax deductible. Our Edu­cational Grant Program has been completely revamped. Firm cri­teria based on financia l need and service to the sorority have been established for awarding avail­able scholarships. The Princeton Confidential Service has agreed to help evaluate and rate scholar­ship applications. Our new chair­man. Sandy Shecket. has been appointed to oversee the program. Our Dollars for Scholars interest­free loan program has also been reorganized. We are now well on our way to having our Founda­tion be the major source of scholarship aid we all want it to be. In order to realize this hope fully, we need your help. Though more chapters made contributions to the Foundation this year, the average contribution, dollarwise, was down so that, in fact, Jess money was received this year than last. You must remember that it take $6,000 worth of your contributions invested a t current rates for one full year to support just one S300 scholarship award. I J..now it is a rough job raising enough money to put the Foun­dation in a position where it can give scholarship aid to even a ~mall percentage of those girls who deserve it. Yet such a goal deserves your wholehearted and persevering support. Is your chapter doing its share? I again urge you and your chapters to support all of the Foundation's programs-Blue and Gold for occasions for giving, Dollars For Scholars, and our Education Grant Program. ft is also my hope that in addition to support­ing scholarships, you will support the major national service project undertaken this year-the Na­tional Kidney Foundation - a project that all chapters can work for timewise and moneywise un­der Foundation direction as part of a united Phi Sig effort in addi­tion to their local chapter's proj­ects.

Personalizing your relations with National was another of the goals I set myself two years ago. l have sought to fill all national positions with people who under­stand the necessity and signifi­cance of meaningful personal con­tact between National representa­tives and sisters at the local level. At this Convention we have fur­ther streamlined the Council's or­ganizational structure which will make it easier to fill these posi­tions and keep them filled with sisters who understand the mean­ing of commitment to Phi Sigma

igma. But communications is a two-way street and l call on un­dergraduates and alumnae to do their part to make the!>e contacts warm and workable. Positions of leadership on all levels must be filled with women committed to sustaining that personal hand of sisterhood.

National's responsibilities are too big for any one or two indi­viduals to shoulder. In dividing these responsibilities among mem­bers of our Councils, we manage to spread the awesome weight of administration as well as make a representative of National acces­sible to every collegiate and alum­nae chapter. rt is important that you recognize that your Division President or Chapter Advisor or Housing Corporation President are as much a part of National as Bev or I , and that most of your problems can indeed be handled quickly and efficiently at the local level. It is a lso important that your communications with Na­tional be full and open, that we be completely honest with each other about our problems and our prospects. Sisters should not be afraid of confiding in other sis­ters and should not look upon requests for information as a nuisance to be avoided but as a means of exchanging information and ideas wi th others who care and want to help.

Our reporting system, which we are hoping to streamline even further this biennium, is being simplified and revamped to high­light problem areas-membership, housing. finance-and cut down on the volume of paper passing between National and the chap­ters. Multiple reports wi ll be con­solidated. There will be fewer re­ports and they will be simpler to comply with.

I again urge all our alumnae to share the significance of their P hi

ig experiences and extend the hand of friendship to their under­graduate sisters. Today's alumna must have the .vision to see that although today's undergrad may be expressing her individuality and devotion to sisterhood in very different ways than she did, they are both caught up in a bond that bridges the gap in years and the differences in expression and mores, a common bond of shared

values and experiences between two women who regard each other affectionately as sisters. A con­cerned alumnae is an integral part, a major factor, in our ability and will to survive as a National. If our alumnae can no longer find the time to help our undergradu­ate groups or work with thei r national council, they could be the la~t of their kind. To our un­dergraduate members I have stressed commitment as a means of survival. But survival without continuity will be a meaningless victory. Our alums, new and old, must work to provide that con­tinuity.

I would, if I may, aga.in thank those who have already pledged themselves to continue. Estelle, for her trength and warmth as my administrative GVA and for this outstanding convention; Bev, who never tires in her commit­ment and devotion to Phi Sigma Sigma and without whom these two years would have been im­possible; Mamie, for her con­stancy and support and un­equalled know-how and devotion; Ann, for her loyal untiring ef­forts to help us grow in strength as well as numbers; Sarena, for her wizardry. her guidance in all financial matters and for helping us to maintain financial stability in her creative fashion; Clarisse, for her wholehearted effort in maintaining our position in the Panhellenic world and providing us with the continuity of experi­ence; Ruth, for always being there when I really needed her, to travel, advise and share those EFC headaches; and other per­sonal friends such as Jackie, Joyce, Bobbi Ossip, a special thanks. Bobbi, for our lovely new PR booklet as well as her double role thi\ year, Bonnie, Melinda, Letty, Carol. Micki, Gerri, Eileen, Regina, Sandy Shecket.

New National Philanthropy

New Partners in Kidney Health

We of the Kidney Founda­tion arc a\\are of the thoughtful evaluation the Phi Sigma igma Orand Council and Undergradu­ate Council have given m the1r de­liberation in the selection and adoption of' the Foundation as the1r National project. The a­tiona! K1dney Foundation wel­come:. the \Upport of P hi Sigma Sigma and looks fon~oard to a mutuall} rewarding relauon~h1p

between the two organizations.

The Council's indepth review of the purpose and programs of various health agencies prior to adoption of the Kidney Founda­uon te t1fies to the dedication of Phi igma igma leadership.

Con!>idering the high incidence of kidney disease in women and children, it is particularly appro­priate for Phi Sigma Sigma women to a:.~il>t in a leadership role 10 pro­moting an understanding of l.ld­ne) disease problems, their causes and prevention.

K1dney disease has no age limits. social, economic or racial barriers. It is the fourth leading health problem in our country: yet its importance is not fully ap­preciated. T his Jack of under­standing must be corrected through effective dissemination of public information and profes­SIOnal education. Phi igma Sig­ma can help pass the word.

K idney disease is the leading health cause of work loss among women. It IS the second cause of work loss among men under 25 years of age and fourth among men over 25.

Children, as well as adults. are susceptible to multiple affiictions of the renal system. The renal system is composed of the kid­neys. the ureters (tubes leading from the l.1dneys to the bladder), the bladder, and the urethra (tube from the bladder to the outs1de). Children, lil..e adults, suffer from kidney stones. malignancy, in­flammation, infection, and mal­function of the renal :.yMem from other malad1es.

Each component of the sys­tem is subject to specific disease proce~~es as well as 10volvement of the enure system. The renal system is closely related to other body systems and is ecoudJrily involved 10 a wide variety of acute and chrome afflictions. Annually, over 4.000 children between the ages of one and six are !>lncken "'ith nephrosis. Approximately half of such afflicted children be­come chronic kidney cripples.

Of the 8 million Americans who ltuffcr from renal related dis­ease, !.orne 60,000 die each year of term10al kidney failure. The statistiC\ arc impressive. H owever, cold figures do not express per­sonal pain and suffering. Medical science has not advanced to the poinl of eliminating all stresses of disease proces~es: however, the

By BONNIE R WOLFRAM , M.D.

kidney health of the general pub­lic can be 1mproved by adherence to s1mple, understandable meas­ures of disea~e prevention and detection. The Kidney Founda­tion is striving to utilize innumer­able measures to disseminate kid­ney health information. For ex­ample, every adult male and fe­male should be fami liar wuh the S cardinal warning signs of kid­ney di\Ca\e. These are

I. Puffine~~ around the eyes, par­ticularly in children.

2. Swelling of parts of the body.

3. Lower back (flank) pain just below the nbs.

4. Vis1bly bloody, or coffee colored unne. Changes 10 the pattern of urination, mcreascd 'frequency, urination at night.

5. Burn1ng or any abnormal sen­sation on ormation.

The Kidney Foundation pro­motes underManding of thc~e signs through public information brochures, posters, and spec1al promotion activities such as the a nnual Halloween fund-raising activity of selling "Trick or Treat" candy. Other informational ac­tivities include radio. newspaper and televi~ion promotion.

Development and dissemination of information costs money. The Kidney Foundation, as the only volunteer health agency dealing with the totality of kidney disease and health, depends upon volun­teer coni ribut ions to underwrite its many programs.

The 'Trick or Treat" program serves a dual purpose of promot­ing public education, raising needed fund~. yet providing a product at a competit ive cost. This program i\ one that Phi 1gma

igma can Immediately identify with on a cooperative bas1 through the K1dney Foundation's national affiliate structure.

Research funds are critically needed for basic and applied renal re .. earch. Students on col­lege campuse~ today are familiar with the sweeping federal cut back of fundmg for research fel­low:.hip'>. It '" undebatable that a gap w1ll occur 10 research ad­vancement because of decreased federal funding. The need for continued research is a fact, as is the need for private sponsorship of this activity. Specific fund rais­ing activities on campuses should be coord10ated with local Kidney Foundation affiliates.

Another area of priority con­cern and opportunity for Phi Sig­ma igma involvement is promo­tion of the· organ donor program. Briefl}. thiS program prov1des a legal mean~ for adults to designate their wi!the:. 10 donation of any or all pam of the body at time of death. A wallet-size Uniform Donor Card is now avai lable as a result of passage of the Uni­form Anatomical Gift Act or its

equivalent 10 all 50 states and 10 the D1~tnct ol Columb1a. Th1s Jegislat1on, pal.!ted on a state by state basis, is hi~toric in the rapid­ity of it~ acceptance throughout the nat1on.

Implementation of the Donor Card activity is dependent upon a broad program of ind1V1duat education to inspire voluntary personal commitment.

The Act and the Donor Card merely provide the vehicle for man to be of ervice to his fellow man after death.

College campus organ donor registration efforts have been suc­cessfully demonstrated on a lim­ited basis. tudents today wel­come an opportunity to partici­pate in relevant, humanitarian ef­forts. What greater legacy can man provide than the gift of pro­tonged life through donation of a body organ for transplantation purpose~ after death. This pro­cedure is compatible with all re­ligious ethics and has been !>Up­ported by the Federation of Jew­ish Philanthropies.

Phi igma Sigma could be of eminent as 1~1ance in organizing campus activities for organ donor regi<>trations among its own mem­bership and alumnae, among other campus organizations and among the general student body. Identification with such a project could be both beneficial and re­warding.

A meaningful partnership in kidney health is the mutual goal of Phi Sigma Sigma and the Na­tional Kidney Foundation. uch a partnership depends upon a co­operative effort to achieve na­tional objectives. Phi Sigma

igma leaders should become ac­quainted with state K1dney Foundation affiliate personnel. Kidney Foundation leadership needs to extend its hand in pro­moting this new relation~hip.

Let us carry on this :.p1rit of dedication 10 our relationship at the national, state and local level. Let us work as one in dedicauon to kidney health of our fellow man.

Grand Archon's Address Cont'd from page 2

Convention is a time of rededi­cation. We have worked and lived and played together these past few days, talked and listened and learned from each other as sisters under the common banner of our Phi Sigma Sigma ideals. Our commitment to these ideals is a valid one. But if it is to be vital as well as valid, we must build on our personal commit­ment, implant it and nurture it in others, and take an active part in molding and sharing the lives of our sisters whom we love.

Our rededication-for each of us- is ·an act of faith with the past, the present and especially the future. If the past is prologue, the future is sti ll ours to shape a~ we will. Let us forget yesterday·s defeats and disappointments. Yes­terday is over. Today is the fir 1 day of the rest of our lives. Let us mark it as a new beginning with new hopes, new energy and new determination. Let us search out strength instead of weakness, action instead of despair, the pos­itJve instead of the negative. Let each of us promise to make every day a "yes" day and we cannot lose. The key to 11 all is commit­ment. We can make our lives al>

sisters relevant. We can determine the direction and content of our experience as a sorority by involv­ing ourselves.

But the good feeling and de­termination you take from this Convention is something you must carry with you as a mantle all the year. It is impossible to have a convention every month or to reach each and every sister save through you, the leaders. This is your role, your responsibility. You must be a catalyst, the prime mover who puts it and holds it all together. Yours is the obliga­tion of leadership. Where we have the will to survive, we will sur­vive. As your National, we can work with you; but the desire to succeed must be yours. The fruits of our Phi Sig affiliation are beautiful and something special to those who pursue them actively. For myself, L will continue to be­lieve in Phi Sigma Sigma. I stand as a witness that ~isterstood dou­bles joy and divides grief.

Let us remember-we can be what we want to be, we will be what we work to become. Let us go forward together.
