Dear Sisters,Although the seasons are winding

down for the year, this fall has been a time of new beginnings and growth for Alpha Xi Delta. Not only have wewelcomed three new colonies this fallwith open arms, but several of ourchapters have also enjoyed successful fallrecruitments and added more bold,

talented women to our dear Fraternity. Soon, these new memberswill be initiated and have the opportunity to connect on a deeperlevel with the ideals and principles of which Alpha Xi Delta wasfounded. Remember the joy you felt when wearing your Quillbadge for the first time? Although it has been some time sincesome of us first wore our Quill, I hope you are continually inspiredto realize your potential each and every day and cherish the bondsof Sisterhood in Alpha Xi Delta.

Also in terms of new beginnings, our Educational LeadershipConsultants (ELC) and Leadership Coaches (LC) (whom you met in the summer 2013 issue) have been traveling across the countryassisting chapters with recruitment, leadership programming andchapter development. Be sure to check out the Tales from the Roadsection on page 19 to get a peek into the life of an ELC. If you knowa young woman who would be an ideal candidate for anELC or LC position, applications are available via Exclusively Xi in the Resource Center.

As winter sets in, it is important for us to look to spring 2014as we have some exciting things on the horizon! April is AutismAwareness Month and we have outlined the whole month of Aprilin this issue (on page 25) to help you get started on your plans.Whether you participate in all the activities, or can only donate a few hours of your time, we appreciate everything our Sisters aredoing to help find the missing piece of the autism puzzle. With 1in 88 children affected by autism, this global health crisis needsour attention and support more than ever before.

Spring 2014 also brings with it a new recruitment season, and I personally cannot wait to welcome more womenhome to Alpha Xi Delta. In terms of extension, we will be startingour colonization efforts at American University, located in Washington, D.C., this spring. If you are interested in

volunteering, or would like to recommend a young woman forrecruitment, please email [email protected].

Finally, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to JaneSutton, Western Carolina ’75, for serving as the NationalPanhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman for the past two years.During Jane’s term as Chairman, she has led NPC ably and withgrace through several significant changes. NPC has completed a rebranding, the launch of a new website, increased the use of technology for the Conference and for college and alumnaepanhellenics and has adopted the compelling tagline “OurPotential. Your Move.” Jane has traveled across the countryproudly representing NPC at Greek leadership conferences,visiting NPC chapters and promoting the Collegiate Housing andInfastructure Act on the Hill in Washington, D.C. Under herleadership, NPC has changed its governance model from one thatis Executive Committee-driven to one that truly empowers theNPC Delegates to direct the Conference, with execution carriedout under the able direction of NPC’s first Executive Director.Unanimous Agreements have been brought more current, andthe Conference’s overall operations have been made moretransparent, all under Jane’s strong leadership. These are exactlythe legacies Alpha Xi Delta sought to leave with this rareopportunity to be in the NPC chair, and Jane has carried out her work well, and always with intellect and class. We are so honored and proud to call her our Sister. With more than four million active collegiate members, the Panhellenicexperience is reaching more women than ever before. Alpha XiDelta is proud to stand with our NPC sisters as the vision of our collective founders grows at an unbelievable pace.

Loyally,

Rekindling Sisterhood Just received my Summer 2013 issue of The Quill and was inspiredto share with you some recent alumnae activity from the Beta ChiChapter at Gettysburg College (member classes 1987 and 1988).

Twenty-one of us met in New York City on September 27-28,2013. Some of us have seen each other recently, but many haven’tseen others since graduation in 1990 and 1991. It was a total blastseeing all these Sisters of our youth. Alpha Xi Delta songs weresung, memories were exchanged and laughter was heard wellinto the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfectweekend of Sisterhood rekindled and friendship renewed.

Remembering the PastWhat a joy it was to read The Quill, which came in today’s mail.There were so many pictures of people I knew. Betsy Weiner wasthe president of Xi Chapter, for two years, and I worked closelywith her. She has certainly proven herself. Kim Starr was anattorney in Columbus or Cincinnati and often came to thecampus during the trying times we had with Xi Chapter. Threeof my Alpha Mu friends were pictured, with a group from Newarkand Granville, and a former member of the Louisville Alumnae

Association was pictured with her pledge class of 1959 at Purdue.How could I have asked for a more exciting issue?

Congratulations on the great job you are doing and keep up the good work. I am proud to say I am a member of Alpha Xi Delta.

Living our Ritual:The Recruitment SymphonyBy Andi Fouberg, South Dakota State ’95, National Ritual Director

For many chapters around the country, the beginning of theschool year also means the excitement of recruitment. For thoseof us more than a few years removed from our own recruitmentexperience, thinking back to that time brings back fondmemories of new Sisters and the promise of a new adventure.

One of those promises we make to our new members, as wellas to the world, dates back to 1924 when Founder Almira Cheney,Helen Willis Lynn and Alice Matthews were appointed to selectan open creed for Alpha Xi Delta. They chose for us 78 words thathave captured the hearts and imaginations of thousands of AlphaXi Deltas for generations.

The words of The Symphony are our outward statement of whowe are and what we hope to be. During recruitment, we try to tellpotential new members about what it is to be a member of AlphaXi Delta. We open our kindly hearts and share the joy of theSisterhood of women with these potential new members. Oncethese women are members of our chapters, we work togethertoward an appreciation of real merit and worth. We makepromises to one another in recruitment that we spend a lifetimetrying to fulfill. Whether you have been reciting it for days or fordecades, whether being recited solo while your chapter hums The Sisterhood of Women or the harmonic cadence of 500 Sistersat National Convention reciting in unison, The Symphony is areminder to all who hear it of what we want to be.

Therefore, reciting it is not enough. Telling potential members,new members and campuses it is who we are is not enough. Ourgoal should be to live up to this inspiring, yet brief, message. Wouldthose you meet hear these words and see you, your chapter oryour alumnae association reflected in them? As the songs andchants fade from formal recruitment, let us work to live up to thepromise of these words together and hold one another accountableto these ideals.

No doubt if we embodied the promises of this statement to the recognition of those around us, the impact we would have on the world would far exceed the fraternal experience. Havecourage. Be gracious. Make peace.

“These things do we earnestly desire:

A clear vision of life, that with gracious and

kindly hearts we may share both joy and

sorrow and bring into living reality the

sisterhood of women.

An appreciation of real merit and worth,

steadfastness of soul, that without bitterness

or defeat we may encounter misfortune

and with humility meet success.

These things, O Lord, help us to instill

within our hearts that we may grow in

courage and graciousness and peace.”

The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Summer 20127 The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Fall/Winter 20137

To paraphrase Rodgers and Hammerstein, ifyou don’t have a dream, how can you make adream come true? Ever since the Beta Eta Chapterat the University of Maryland became dormant in1994, Beta Etas held onto the dream of a vibrant,successful chapter of young women living once againin our home at 4517 Knox Road in College Park. Thatdream became a reality with the colony’sreestablishment and when those same youngwomen moved into their newly renovated chapterhome this fall.

When the Beta Eta Chapter became dormant, the local alumnaeimmediately looked to the future and the dream of reestablishing thechapter. To that end, the first decision was not to sell the house asthey felt that retaining ownership would be essential in any chapterrecolonization efforts. The local alumnae financed the costs ofmaintaining the house through various leasing contracts withindividual students, student groups and the University. That effortproved to be successful and was validated when the chapter wasreestablished in fall 2012.

The excitement generated by the new colony energizedeveryone on the Beta Eta Corporation Board, which led the effort toaccomplish a major renovation and have the house ready foroccupancy at the end of August 2013.

The first step in the renovation process was some grand visioning,done in partnership with the National Housing Corporation (NHC). By visiting other, newly-renovated sorority houses at Maryland andtaking advantage of the “fresh eyes” and experience of the NHCrepresentatives, the board developed plans for significantly renovatedspaces and new amenities, planned to meet the needs and expectationsof today’s collegians. As plans became more detailed, this conversationevolved to include the colony members as well.

Local architects were then interviewed. Don Smith of SmithArchitects was chosen due to his experience and previous workwithin the chapter facility. Don worked with us to draw up severalpossible floor plans, and after much collaboration, we agreed on afinal conceptual design.

The next step was securing bank financing. The boardpartnered with the National Housing Corporation to secure a mortgage broker experienced in fraternal housing who helpedsuccessfully negotiate the lending package. As soon as the spring2013 semester came to a close and our current tenants moved out,Mike Albrecht of Albrecht Construction and Linda Hartman ofKaren Renee Interior Design began their parts of the project. Thesummer was a whirlwind of hammers, saws, meetings, inspectors,permits, late shipments, paint colors and fabric samples. Arenovation of this magnitude creates stress, surprise, sometimes tears, but always amazement.

The Beta Eta Corporation Board and several chapter officersendured a very busy summer of meetings, emails, telephone calls,site visits and decision making. This renovation experience hasstrengthened the bonds of Sisterhood among us and increased ourappreciation of what Alpha Xi Delta is all about.

The most exciting part of the project for the chapter women wasseeing the house for the first time when they moved in. While thechapter had seen the beautiful decorating boards provided early inthe design process to showcase the possibilities for the facility’sfinal look, those could not compare with the gorgeous reality theysaw when the doors were opened. On the flip side, the most excitingpart for the board was the reactions – smiles and tears of joy – thatwe saw on the faces of our chapter women when we revealed tothem their new home. Rodgers and Hammerstein were right; if youdon’t have a dream, you really can’t make a dream come true.

[]The Truth Behind

AdderallAbuse

9 The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Fall/Winter 2013

Feature

ALL-NIGHTERAddiction:


“Amphetamines have a high potential for abuse.Administration of amphetamines for prolongedperiods of time may lead to dependence andmust be avoided. Particular attention should bepaid to the possibility of subjects obtainingamphetamines for non-therapeutic use ordistribution to others, and the drug should beprescribed or dispensed sparingly. Misuse ofamphetamine may cause sudden death andserious cardiovascular adverse events.”

The Food and Drug Administration mandates this warningbe printed on all amphetamines, including Adderall, one of the many medications used to treat Attention DeficitHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). According to Dr. SandraFryhofer, Georgia Tech ’76, a doctor of internal medicine,Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at Emory UniversitySchool of Medicine, Alpha Xi Delta Woman of Distinction and former CNN medical correspondent, drugs like Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta and Vyvanse are stimulants usedto help individuals with ADHD regulate their central nervoussystem, improve their focus and organize their thoughts andimpulsive behaviors. “Stimulant medications can be helpfulfor those with ADHD,” Dr. Fryhofer said, “But they can alsobe both addicting and dangerous.”

In fact, amphetamine-based drugs such as Adderall areclassified as schedule II controlled substances and are placedin the same category as morphine, opium and OxyContin.

Due to the high potential for abuse and addiction, one of the main concerns related to stimulant drugs is theamount of people selling or sharing them with others who do not have a prescription or medical diagnosis ofADHD, and chances are, many usersare unaware of the dangersassociated with taking theseamphetamine-based drugswhen they are not needed.Unfortunately, Jessica Fee,Old Dominion ’08, knowsfirsthand how dangerousthese drugs can be.

“Stimulant medicationscan be helpful for thosewith ADHD, but they canalso be both addicting

and dangerous.”

Jessica’s brother, Richard Fee, developed an addiction toAdderall after graduating from college in 2008. Afterstruggling with his addiction for two years, in November of2011, he took his own life.

Stage 1: Experimentation Jessica and Richard were close growing up, and when asked about her brother, one specific memory stands out in her mind - the night before Richard’s college graduation. “The night before[graduation] they go to the church in town and have a cappingceremony,” Jessica explained. During the ceremony, the graduatingseniors will pick someone close to them and dress that person in theircap and gown. “Out of everyone, he picked me to go and do that withhim,” Jessica said.

When Richard left for college, he was your typical, freshmanstudent. He had a full-academic scholarship to Greensboro Collegeand was on the school’s baseball team. “We would go visit, and hewould let me hang out with him and his friends,” Jessica recalled.“He seemed like a really happy person.”

While in college, Richard excelled. He was elected as classpresident, graduated in four years with an honors degree inbiology and began preparing for medical school. He never showedany signs of having ADD or ADHD, and prior to going toGreensboro, he earned A’s and B’s in high school without usingstimulant drugs.

Like so many other college students, Richard started usingstimulant drugs occasionally in college. According to Jessica, thisis not unusual behavior for students on college campuses. “Eitherpeople have a prescription, want the prescription or they’re askingeach other for some,” she said. “No one thinks it’s dangerous or it’s illegal, even though it is, to use each other’s pills. They’ll sayright in front of tons of people, ‘Hey, I really need to take anAdderall pill tonight to be able to stay up all night. You have any?’”

And that’s just whatRichard did. Occasionally,when Richard had to stay up late to study for a test or write a paper, he wouldask friends and classmatesfor a pill.

Stage 2: Regular Use After Richard graduated from college in 2008, he decided to stay inGreensboro to prepare for the MCATs. It was during that time aftergraduation that he felt the need to get his own prescription forstimulant drugs. After meeting with a nurse practitioner at theTriad Psychiatric and Counseling Center and taking a shortquestionnaire, Richard was diagnosed with ADHD withouthyperactivity. He left the office with a prescription for three weeksworth of 30 milligrams of the stimulant drug, Vyvanse.

“The latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofMental Disorders, the ‘bible’ of psychiatry, has changed both thecriteria for and classification of ADHD diagnosis,” Dr. Fryhoferexplained. “ADHD is now classified with neuro-developmentaldisorders rather than with conduct disorders. Children still have tomeet at least six criteria, but adults (ages 17 and older) now onlyhave to meet five criteria to satisfy the diagnosis. These changesshould make it easier to make the diagnosis and will most likelyincrease the number of people receiving treatment.”

According to Jessica’s experience, it’s very easy for anyone toobtain a prescription for Adderall. “After I went to college my firstyear, it was a big adjustment change and I didn’t do too well inclasses,” she said. “I went to the doctor to see if I needed to takeadvantage of the disability services provided by my school, andthey ran a bunch of tests on me.” After two days worth of tests, thedoctor told Jessica she “might” have ADHD and asked what shewanted to do. Jessica made the decision not to take anyprescription medications for ADHD since the doctor could not giveher a definite diagnosis. “Looking back on that, it’s scary that theywere probably going to offer me Adderall when I only showed signsthat I could have ADHD.”

Knowing what she does about the diagnosis process and herbrother’s behavior prior to stimulant drug use, Jessica said, “He did nothave it [ADHD]. From sun up to sun down, he focused on the things heneeded to get done. He was active with his friends, played baseball,went to practices and always went to school with no problem.”

When Jessica and her family found out about Richard’s diagnosisand prescription in 2009, they were shocked. Her dad knew howdangerous stimulant drugs could be and immediately expressed hisconcerns and asked Richard to reconsider taking the pills.

Jessica, on the other hand wasn’t too concerned. “For me, at ayounger age, it’s more common to hear about Adderall than it is formy parents,” Jessica said. She remembers telling her brother thathe didn’t need the drugs, but at the same time having the “I guessyou’re going to do what you’re going to do” type of attitude. “If I had

Jessica and her brother at Richard’scollege graduation.

known now what was going to happen, I would have put up a lotbigger fight in the beginning,” Jessica said. “But Adderall is nottalked about like that, so my age group has no clue.”

Stage 3: Risky Use In 2010, Richard started seeing a doctor close to his parent’s home in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Dr. Ellison from DominionPsychiatric Associates, and it was here that Richard first received a prescription for Adderall. He was prescribed to 30 milligrams of Adderall, the fast-acting kind instead of the extended-releaseformula that is less addicting, and was instructed to take it once aday for 21 days. Eight days after receiving the prescription, Richardhad 13 pills left and asked the doctor to renew his prescription, butthis time requested 50 milligrams of Adderall and received it.

“My dad was worried from the beginning, and as soon as hefound out about it [the Adderall prescription], he tried everythinghe could to get him off of it,” Jessica said. She remembers her dadasking Richard to stop taking Adderall and even pleading withRichard’s doctor to stop prescribing him medication. “I don’t thinkhe realized he [Richard] was addicted to it or that it was going tohave such a huge impact on him at first, but he knew somethingwas off.”

Richard’s family eventually started noticing changes in hisbehavior that they associated with his Adderall use. He wouldargue with his parents frequently and developed an usual sleepingpattern - staying up for days at a time, and then sleeping for 48hours straight. According to Dr. Fryhofer, anxiety, irritability andsleep deprivation are all side effects of using stimulant medication.

“At the time, I thought it was him just being annoyed that hewas 24 and moving back in with his parents,” Jessica said. “Butnow I know it was the Adderall.”

Stage 4: Drug Addiction and Dependency Confusion and psychosis are some of the additional side effects Dr. Fryhofer names when talking about stimulant drug use, andRichard began to experience these symptoms a year or so into hisaddiction. The Fees lived close to Oceana Air Station, a militaryairport in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Jessica said she and Richardpretty much grew up with planes constantly flying over andaround their home. Once Richard was on Adderall, he wasconvinced that “they” [those in the planes] were watching him, hisfamily and their home. “He would start closing the blinds, and hewould be afraid to go outside,” Jessica recalled. “He even coveredthings up at night. He would cover up those little lights that wereon the TV or his speakers and cover up his clock with Post-its.”

At this time, Richard was going through a month’s worth ofAdderall in a number of days, and as his parents became moreconcerned about his addiction, their arguments with Richardbecame more frequent and aggressive, especially when discussinghis prescription. “When I watched him get into these verbal fights,he never laid a hand on my dad or mom, but I could just tell thathe was holding back so much anger, and that at times, just lookingin his eyes, it was like he knew he could lose control,” Jessica said.

One night in 2011, Richard became so upset with his parents for withholding his pills, that he called 911. When the police arrivedon the scene, the Fees explained that their son was addicted to

“If I had knownnow what was goingto happen, I wouldhave put up a lotbigger fight in the

beginning”

Richard had a full academic scholarship to Greensboro University and played on the school’sbaseball team.

Adderall and they wanted to hold onto the pills and make sure hewas taking them as instructed. Richard denied his addiction, andthe police instructed his parents to hand over the bottle. They did asthey were told, and told Richard to leave. Later that night, Richardcalled his parents threatening to stab himself with a knife, and hewas admitted into the Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center. “Myparents had a whole new fight with a whole new doctor to get himoff of Adderall,” Jessica said. “They just never quit. They neverstopped trying to help him. They tried everything a parent can doand then some.”

When Richard was discharged, he continued to get hisprescription filled from Dr. Ellison until October 2011; two yearsafter Richard’s struggle with Adderall began, when herecommended Richard take Strattera, one of the treatments forADHD that does not include amphetamines. Richard never filledthis prescription, and returned to the doctor’s office a few weekslater requesting a prescription for Adderall. He was denied thisrequest. A few weeks later, on November 7, 2011, Richard took his life.

Looking Back Two years after her brother’s death, Jessica is sharing Richard’sstory and looking to help those who may not know the dangersassociated with Adderall. “Now that we’re public about it andtrying to help people, it’s really scary to see how many people thisis happening to,” Jessica said. “Yes, my brother was an adult, andhe was the first person to decide to put an Adderall pill in hismouth, and that’s where it all began. There’s a part of me thatunderstands he had a big hand in doing this to himself, but alsothe doctors were responsible, too. Every step of the way somethingnew happened and there was a new chance for a doctor orsomeone else to prevent it from going further.”

Jessica hopes her family’s story makes doctors think twiceabout diagnosing patients with ADHD and prescribing stimulantdrugs. “So many people are prescribed to it, and I’m not saying thatno one needs it. It does do good for some people if they do need it,”Jessica said. She believes that doctors should take more time toproperly diagnose their patients and conduct more thorough teststhan a simple questionnaire. If the patient is diagnosed withADHD, Jessica thinks doctors should have lengthy follow-upappointments with the patient to evaluate him/her and discusssome of side-effects that may occur. “If doctors took things slow,listened to their patients and were more involved with theirpatients’ needs instead of having a revolving door policy, I wouldbe happy,” she said.

In addition, she hopes her story helps educate young adults onthe dangers of Adderall and makes them think twice before usingit as a study aid. “I’m starting to realize that it’s important to helpanyone that you can, and that’s what I hope to do by sharing mystory,” Jessica said. “If it can prevent anything like this or evensome of the stuff that happened from happening, it would be worthit. Something has to change.”

If you or someone you know has an addictionto Adderall or any other type of drug, Alpha Xi Delta can help.

When her young daughter and husband wanted to adopt a dog, Mary Ebeling Sears, Delta Kappa ’87 , had her doubts. “I never had any pets at all,” says Mary. “Growingup, I was only allowed to have a goldfish.” They adopted cats, butthe majority of the family still wanted to add a dog to the household.When Mary’s husband brought a flyer home advertising training a service dog, the family thought it was the perfect option. “Wethought if it doesn’t work out, we can give it back,” says Mary. “Two weeks later we had a dog named Elmer.”

But temporarily adopting a service dog to help is much more than experimenting with pet ownership. Mary and her family

had to take Elmer to weekly training classes, pay for all of hisexpenses and take Elmer with them everywhere. “They are with youwherever you are, so you are always in training mode,” says Mary.Elmer needed to get accustomed to public situations and to haveplenty of interaction with children, which worked well for Mary’s jobat a school. “He was a kid dog, and I’d let kids lay all over him andlove him,” says Mary. “Autism was his destiny.”

Because of his mellow personality and large size, Elmer wastrained to be an autism assist dog. Mary and the staff at Can DoCanines in Minneapolis, Minnesota, trained Elmer to be able to stopa child from running away. “If a child starts to run, the dog is taughtto drop down and brace so the kid cannot get very far. This preventsa child from getting away in a dangerous situation,” says Mary, whosays the dog also can help calm the child. “We have the dog settledown on command so the child can lay on them because often thechild likes the texture and touch of animals.”

Elmer also helped Mary and her family during a very difficult time. Shortly after accepting Elmer, Mary was diagnosed with breastcancer. Elmer became a special companion to her daughter Katherine(Katie), and a special source of comfort for Mary. “He went with me toevery treatment, every doctors appointment and visited me in thehospital after surgery,” remembers Mary. “He snuggled with me in bedand often stayed with Katie until she fell asleep. He brought smiles tofaces when times were tough.” After a brutal year of operations andtreatment, Mary has now been in remission for four years.

When Elmer reached 18 months old, Mary and her familyreturned him to Can Do Canines for more extensive training. Then,they attended a graduation, where the family handed the dog overto a new family, who had been waiting for years to have an autismassist dog. “It was especially hard because my daughter wasattached,” says Mary. “But at the graduation ceremony, you see thedog with the client and realize it was their destiny.”

Since Elmer, Mary and her family have hosted five assist dogsover five years. Brewster and Willow could turn on lights, pick uptelephones and complete many other tasks as they helped peoplewith mobility. Because Wiggs could sniff a change in blood sugar, hehelped a mother manage her Type I diabetes. The family currentlyis training Jazz and helping to determine what the dog’s best futurewill be. “Mary and her family are dedicated to raising a well-behaveddog that has an excellent start on training and is well-socialized,”said Nancy Weitgenant, puppy program coordinator.

Besides donating time and money to raise the dogs, Mary alsogives back to the organization by helping with training programs,staffing booths to raise awareness and administering front desk

duties. Mary helps coordinate the “Name A Puppy” program whichallows donors to name puppies. She uses her photography skills toput together a photo album for donors. “Mary is one of those uniqueindividuals who brings sunshine into any room she enters,” saysAlan Peters, executive director. “I believe it is her focus on helpingothers that keeps that smile on her face. And that smile is neverbigger than when she watches a puppy she has cared for, trainedand loved over many months, walk on stage during graduation,changing the life of someone with a disability forever.”

However, Mary plans to extend her volunteer efforts with theorganization. Her family is excited to become a breeder host familyin the near future. They will house and care for Harper, whosepuppies will become service dogs through Can Do Canines. “If you are given a lot in life, you need to give a lot back and we givewith this every single day,” says Mary. “We believe in them andbelieve they are doing the right thing for people. They are good todogs and good to clients.”

The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Summer 20121717 The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Fall/Winter 2013

When I first moved to Chicago in March of 2012, I was a littlebit lost. I came for a job opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

Prior to living in Chicago I lived in Washington State, New YorkCity and Philadelphia; so I was certainly no stranger to newbeginnings. While I lived in many places, I never considered anyplace other than Cornell my true home.

I joined the Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta during myfreshman year at Cornell University. I remember my freshmanyear as a blur of meeting different people and trying new things.I chose to go through sorority recruitment because my roommatewas doing it and wanted a friend to share the experience withher. I never thought it would change my life in the way that it did.I am very proud to be a founding member of the chapter and havemy name displayed on our charter. Within a few weeks of joiningAlpha Xi Delta, I knew I had found my Cornell family. I continueto keep in touch with my chapter Sisters, plan reunions withthem and attend their weddings.

When I first arrived in Chicago, I didn’t think I would find a friend group so similar to my Alpha Xi Delta Sisters, but luckily

I was wrong. About five months after living here, I reconnectedwith an old friend I had lifeguarded with back in high school. Iconfided in her about how I was having trouble meeting peopleand shared my concerns of never finding a new home. She toldme she had felt very similarly when she first moved to Chicagountil she joined her rugby team, The Chicago Sirens.

I have always been a fairly athletic person. When I wasyounger, I spent much of my time playing all different kinds ofsports, but the idea of playing rugby seemed ridiculous, even tome. I just kept thinking, “Why would anyone want play a sportwhere a large part of the game consisted of letting people hitthem?” My friend didn’t push the point, but she invited me tocome to a fundraising event her team was hosting so she couldintroduce me to some of her teammates and friends. My firstencounter with these women immediately reminded me of thefeeling I got when I met my fellow Alpha Beta Chapter Sisters –they made me feel so comfortable and welcome. After spendingsome time with these women, I knew they were going to be mynew family in Chicago, the family I was searching for since the

moment I arrived. I spent the evening talking to some of the women aboutrugby and why they played. I was shocked by how passionately they spokeabout this crazy sport, and that passion convinced me to give it a try.

One practice later, I was hooked, and since then I have fallen in lovewith the sport! I never expected a game, that on the surface looked sochaotic and brutal, to be so elegant and tactical. Plus, playing a game ofrugby is the best workout I’ve ever had to date. I feel my love of the gameis in a very large part due to how much I enjoy the company of the womenI play it with. I was shocked to find how ready they are to support eachother on and off the field, and I am so very proud to be part of the team.

After only seven months of playing rugby with The Chicago Sirens,we were invited to play in the 2014 Safari Sevens in Nairobi, Kenya. TheSafari Sevens is Africa’s premier invitation-only rugby tournament anddraws crowds of more than 20,000 people! We are currently the only U.S. team invited to play in 2014 and the first women’s team outside ofAfrica to be invited.

Women’s rugby is growing in popularity in Africa, and I am honoredto be amongst the elite group who will aid that growth. Participating in the Safari Sevens will allow us to grow as athletes and individuals aswe represent Chicago and the U.S. on an international stage. Additionally,as a self-funded team we need to work hard to raise enough for a trip ofthis magnitude. It has been a great experience working to gain publicityfor our team and to approach different businesses for sponsorshipopportunities. As much as it sometimes feels like a second job, it hasgiven many of the younger players the opportunity to develop greattransferable skills in a very low-risk environment.

While in Kenya, we plan to compete in two tournaments, go on asafari and organize a community service project teaching localchildren to play the very same sport we have all come to love. But, inorder to make this dream a reality, we have a lot of work to do. We willbe playing against teams that compete at the highest level. We areincreasing our coaching staff so we can focus on getting the entireteam ready to compete in the tournament. I am entirely confident wewill get there; we have some truly incredible athletes in our ranks.Having the opportunity to represent our country at an internationalsporting event is the opportunity of a lifetime for all of us.

SHELLBY SWEENEY, FLORIDA ATLANTIC ’09

Being an Educational Leadership Consultant (ELC) constantly remindsme of the wonderful organization Alpha Xi Delta is, and it has shown me the common bond we have as Sisters, regardless of our chapter affiliation.

During each Preference Ceremony, I tear up as I watch our chaptermembers prepare to welcome new members to their future home awayfrom home. As a collegiate member, I was always focused on inspiring my chapter Sisters to determine their Alpha Xi Delta legacy, but I never really took the time to figure out my own legacy. I always knew I wanted to make a positive impact on and inspire as many women aspossible. Combining my two passions of recruitment and Alpha Xi Delta led me to pursue the opportunity to become an ELC.

I had an overall idea of what to expect before I started traveling, but nothing really started to sink in until I had my first visits. It’s actually more rewarding than I could have ever imagined! In my first month of traveling, I visited the Zeta Xi Chapter at Auburn University, theBeta Alpha Chapter at the University of Texas and the Delta Psi Chapter at Texas State University. Watching what these chapter women can accomplish in a week leading up to recruitment is inspiring. Team work, dedication and a true love and appreciation for our Sisterhood is fully on display, and it makes me so proud to know these collegiatewomen are representing Alpha Xi Delta.

After each visit, I leave with such an overwhelming feeling ofhappiness. The experience to travel as an ELC is especially unique, and I know I’ve already grown so much as a leader and Sister. I lookforward to continuing this amaXIng journey for the remainder of the school year.

Visit our website at www.alphaxidelta.org.ELC and LC applications are located in Exclusively Xi in the Resource Center.Any interested chapter member is encouraged to apply during her senioryear. The number of ELCs and LCs hired each year depends on the needs ofthe Fraternity.

Erin Finn, Slippery Rock ’01,is currently the Autism StrandSpecialist at Orchard Gardens K-8 PilotSchool in Boston, Massachusetts. She has been at this school for sixyears and says the most importantpart of her day is spending time withthose students who are so close to her heart. Steven, now a 15-year-oldstudent at Orchard Gardens, is justone of the many students who hasimpacted Erin’s life.

Steven and his grandmother walkedinto Erin’s classroom one day in Decemberthree years ago looking for help. At thetime, Steven was 11 years old anddiagnosed with autism. He was considerednon-verbal, uttering only a few words, andwhen they came out, they were no louderthan a whisper. He sporadically displayedsigns of aggression towards others,destruction of property and non-compliance.

Out of frustration, Steven would lash out by spitting, biting, punching, kicking,throwing chairs, ripping things andpunching walls.

Erin remembers that first encounterwith Steven and his grandmother.“Steven’s grandmother seemed upset,fragile and she needed help,” Erin recalled.“She is not young and was in desperateneed of someone to help her, him and thebehavior that was and is sometimeschallenging.”

When Erin received an email fromAutism Speaks in 2012, explaining theiPad Grant Program, she immediatelybegan selecting the students she believedneeded it the most and Steven was hernumber one candidate. Steven reallywanted an iPad. As a matter of fact, he hadbeen asking his grandmother for one foryears, but it was just too expensive. Aftersitting down with Steven’s grandmotherand filling out the online application, therewas nothing to do but wait.

An iPadchangedhis lifeBy Lauren Fisher, CommunicationsCoordinator, Indiana ’08

An iPadchangedhis life


Right before winter break, Erin receivedan email that would forever change Steven’slife. The email said Steven would bereceiving an iPad from Autism Speaks. Erin reached out to Steven’s grandmotherwith the good news, and she cried tears ofjoy. Erin received the iPad before schoolclosed for the holidays, and she loaded itwith a variety of special apps for Steven,wrapped it and sent it home with him so he could open it on Christmas morning.When Steven returned from winter break,

everyone noticed an immediate change inhis behavior. “I remember hearing Stevenfrom my room when he was in the hall,”Erin recalled.”When I walked out, he waswearing his Santa hat as happy as can be,showing everyone his iPad with a hugegrin. He didn’t put it down all day.”

Sarah White Smith, Orchard Garden’sSchool Counselor, remembers seeingSteven run up the stairs after Decemberbreak. “He was throwing his voice, sayinghello and showing his iPad to every student

and teacher who would listen,” Sarah said.“It was such a drastic change from hisnormal, quiet behavior.”

The iPad helped Steven communicatewith his peers. When others couldn’tunderstand him, Steven would simply pullout his iPad and show everyone what hewas talking about with videos and websites.“I have been working with Steven for threeyears, and now he is a completely differentstudent,” Erin said. “He loves to take videosof himself and the roller coasters or trainshe has built and then show his friends. TheiPad has increased his skills and he lovesusing apps that he can talk into for phonicsand sentence creation.”

Currently, Erin integrates iPads dailywhen working with children on the autismspectrum and has about 120 various appsavailable for her students to use.

Article quotes provided by J-Jaye Hurley,Autism Response Team Coordinator andmother of a child on the autism spectrum.

“For many non-verbal individuals, it [the iPad] is giving them a voice and a new way to communicate

with others. It also helps reinforceeducational goals and is an excitinglearning tool for many. Technology

in general is making life easier, and in a way, it is doing the same

for individuals with autism.”

“They [iPads] are not a ‘magic solution’ as the individual often

requires supervision, instruction andtraining on the device, and the

family also must have some level oftechnology skills to implement thesetablets into their lives. For my son, he is able to make his own choices

and that is an amazing help for all of us.”

STEP #1 (a) Pre-cut ribbon to desired length.We cut ours to 13”, but found that the widerribbon needed to be cut between 14” to 15”to achieve a comparable length once tied.

STEP #2 (a) Tie ribbon around wreath with a double knot and adjust the ends so they are on the outside of the wreath. (b)Repeat and alternate ribbon if using multiplepatterns, textures and widths. (c) The ribbonsshould slightly overlap in order to cover the Styrofoam. Wired ribbon is easier tomanipulate to create a fuller look.

In a nutshell…tell us about you. I love life! My best friends are myhubby of 31 years, John, and mydaughter, Jessica. My home, mycommunity, my friends and my faithmean everything to me. I worked asan administrator for the Wright StateUniversity School of Medicine forthirty years. It was a great career! In2011 when I had the opportunity toretire, I decided to jump on it – not to sit back and relax but to startsomething new! So, “my new life”consists of owning my own business– Bee On the Go Travel. We plan and host motorcoach tours. Some areone-day tours close by, and others aremultiple day tours to places likeChicago, Nashville and MackinawIsland. So many people of all ages arejoining us to see new destinations,and they enjoy letting someone elsedo all the planning! The first word inmy new job description is fun! Myhusband, John, has just joined thecompany to help it grow, and mydaughter, Jessica, is a great tourhostess when she is not busy being a sixth grade teacher. It’s hard workto launch a new business, but I lovethe challenge and excitement. Andthe people who travel with Bee Onthe Go Travel are so great – I hope I am making a positive impact ontheir lives!

Finish the sentence; “Looking atme, no one would guess…” I have a crush on BetXi Bear. Don’t tell anyone! She is so cute andstylish – I love her yellow patent-leather shoes. She might know about this crush, since I had theopportunity to meet her twice thissummer. I screamed like a teenagerand hugged her. So, maybe thesecret is out!

My favorite Alpha Xi Deltamemory is: Wow – it’s not possible to have just one Alpha Xi Delta memory.When I think of my college days, Ismile. There were so many great

Sisters, and now that I’ve connectedwith some of them on Facebook, wehave picked up where we left offmany years ago. That Sisterhoodbond is never broken. One memorythat is really special to me is the day my daughter told me that sheaccepted a bid to be an Alpha Xi! It’sbeen great to recall my own sororitymemories as she participated inchapter events. We had theopportunity to attend the NationalConvention this summer in SanFrancisco together. We had such afun time and learned so much.Experiencing the speakers, theceremonies and the meetingstogether was awesome. We bothhave a heart for autism, since wehave a young man in our family thatis affected, so the philanthropybreakfast was amaXIng! That is a memory I will never forget.

Most read book on your shelf: Right now, travel magazines aretaking up most of my reading time,but I usually have a few magazines,a devotional book, a good novel andthe Bible. My iPad is filled withelectronic books, but I haven’t hadthe opportunity to read any of them yet.

Who inspires you? I was blessed to have great parents.My parents taught me so muchabout hard work, honesty, the valueof family, my foundation in God and being fully-engaged in life. Even though they are not here withme anymore, they continue toinspire. The lessons they taught areforever, and sometimes I can seetheir faces, their expressions andhear their words – and I knowexactly what decision to make.

Why do you pay your alumnaedues?To give back to the Fraternity, bothon a national level and a local level.That small amount of money, pooledwith dues from thousands of others,can make a difference in the way ourNational Fraternity operates. It’s theeasiest way to validate the statement,“not four years, but for life!”

ProfileAlumna



Due to the convenience of fast food, the “lack of time” to cookmeals, and most importantly, the lack of knowledge peoplehave when it comes to healthy living, obesity and other relatedhealth problems are sky rocketing, and people are oftentimeslooking for a “quick fix” to lose weight. Ashley Scott, GeorgeMason ’07, is working to help people learn more about living ahealthy lifestyle and making healthier choices, rather thanlooking for a quick fix to get skinny.

Her Wake-Up CallAshley is no stranger to looking for a quick fix. She was

never overweight, but had some body image issues due tocombined pressures of society’s “skinny” look and high schoolinsecurities. She had tried, or at least considered, just aboutevery fad diet there was. If it wasn’t a fad diet that she wastrying, it was things like prepackaged lean meals or workingout to try and make up for eating unhealthy foods. These areall things that Ashley would later learn do not work forlong-term success, if at all.

After doing research, Ashley realized that she wassomething that people called “skinny fat,” which meant havinga small frame, but with extra body fat and virtually no muscledefinition. Upon discovering this term, she decided that she nolonger wanted to be “skinny fat” or even just “skinny,” but “FIT”!She realized that in order to get fit and be healthy, she wouldneed to start eating healthier and find a way to be active.

Her ChangesShe started with a no junk food challenge in

February 2012, in which she started cutting out alot of processed foods from her diet. During this

time, Ashley learned about the term “eatingclean,” which, loosely taken, means

eating a majority of whole, naturalfoods while limiting processed

foods and enjoying treats inmoderation. This is not a diet,

but a way of life! At theend of March 2012,

Ashley created a fitness-relatedFacebook pagefor people to

follow her journey. She took the inspiration of skinny fat to fitand created her own fitness identity, “The Skinny-Fit Girl.” Notlong after that, in April 2012, she joined a gym and startedworking out regularly, with a whole new approach. In heryounger years, Ashley had thought, as many people do, thatdoing mass amounts of cardio was the way to lose weight.After doing research, she shifted her focus to lifting weightsand doing resistance training in order to build muscle, whichin turn helps to burn more calories.

Since making her fitness page, she has been striving to not only share her own journey, but to help others find their own inner motivation and inspire them with herdedication and determination. In less than a year, Ashley hasalready accomplished more than she could have imagined.She has done her first pull-up since elementary school,achieved her very first six-pack, competed in an “abs” contest,met and made connections with her fitness-idols and did her very first photo shoot! Now, a year and a half into herjourney, she has more than 12,000 people following herjourney, is a wellness coach, is pursuing fitness modeling, is in the process of getting certified to become a personaltrainer and is working to get her own website up and running. But that is just the beginning. Ashley also has futureplans of getting certified in nutrition, competing in fitnesscompetitions under the bikini class, and whatever else comes her way!

Her GoalsAlthough she has many personal goals, Ashley’s number

one goal is to help others. She wants people to know that faddiets or sodium-packed, prepackaged meals are not the way togo when trying to lose weight. Instead, she wants people tolearn that they should just be focusing on making healthierdecisions like adding more natural protein, complexcarbohydrates, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables into theirdiets. She wants people to know that you don’t need to doendless hours of cardio in order to lose weight, and in fact, youshouldn’t! But most importantly, she wants people to knowthat no one’s goal should ever be to be skinny, but to behealthy, fit and happy. There is a big difference!

ScholarshipAmber Ridings, Bethany ’11, was a recipient of The Slaymaker- KinseyAcademic Achievement Award which recognizes the initiated memberin each college chapter with the highest cumulative grade point average

at the beginning of theacademic year.

“I would like to begin bythanking the Alpha Xi DeltaFoundation donors for theircontinued support of mineand my Sisters’ educationand needs. I first fell in lovewith Alpha Xi Delta when Isaw how much scholarlyachievement meant to them.To me, our letters represent adesire to better ourselves sothat we can be effective

members of society. This desire is one that requires the support ofSisterhood through encouragement, knowledge and assistance ofany kind. Once again, thank you for being that support that helpsus to continue to strive for our goals.”

GrantsThe Alpha Xi Delta Foundation was proud to give four DorothyDodd Panhellenic Leadership Grants, awarded to an Alpha XiDelta Panhellenic delegate or Panhellenic officer on the campus to further leadership abilities and foster Panhellenic values, in2012-13. This grant provides funding to the UndergraduateInterfraternity Institute (UIFI) sponsored by North-AmericanInterfraternity Conference. These four women represented theirchapters and Alpha Xi Delta in an exceptional manner: Suzie Coco,Alabama at Birmingham ’11, Lakyn Martin, Auburn ’12, DianaNguyen, Worcester Polytechnic ’11, and Addela Marzofka,Wisconsin-Oshkosh ’10.

“I met Diana, Panhellenic president at Worcester PolytechnicInstitute and an Alpha Xi Delta at my UIFI session. We got to standup in front of our whole session and recite The Symphony. As wesaid the words together, “bring into living reality the Sisterhood ofwomen…” I realized that Sisterhood truly transcends all things…age, race, geography or social class. Furthermore, it connects usback to the women who founded Alpha Xi Delta and the values theyfounded it on.” – Lakyn Martin, Auburn ’12

Leadership Coach Program2012-13 Leadership Coach Megan Mackie, UNC Wilmington ’08,visited the Kappa Chapter at University of Illinois in March tofacilitate StrengthsQuest™ to chapter members.

“I was impressed with Megan’s knowledge, helpfulness andwillingness to meet with anyone who wanted to see her. When shefacilitated StrengthsQuest, it helped me understand that the way I wasleading the chapter actually made sense for me with my strengths.

I also got a better understanding of how being a chapter leadertranslates far beyond my collegiate time with Alpha Xi Delta. I evenfound myself using my strengths at my job this summer when Iwas able to talk with my supervisor about my skills and strengthsand how those could benefit the company. I am so glad Alpha XiDelta has the Leadership Coach Program and is so invested in meand my future.” – Megan Gaseor, Illinois ’10

To Senegaland Back


Living Our Symphony

How does one describe a life changing experience? What word is there to use? I cannot find one that does justice to my

experience in a small Senegalese village named Ndoffane Boure. I went there with 14 other sorority women to help break ground onthe Circle of Sisterhood funded school. I came back forever changed.

I was changed by the kind and giving community we became partof for six days and five nights; by people who have so little, yet gaveus so much by welcoming us into their village and homes with openarms. We stood next to these villagers to break ground on their newschool – we pickaxed, shoveled dirt, bent rebar, made bricks andhauled sand and gravel in buckets. There is no machinery, there is no electricity – they are building this school by hand, and they willcontinue to work hard to finish this project now that we have gone.

When we were not on the worksite, we met with the chief, women’sgroups and farmers to learn of their culture and customs. Andwherever we went, we were surrounded by joyful and inquisitivechildren who worked alongside us to break ground on their new school.

While I was in Senegal, I thought about my sorority experience as an Alpha Xi Delta, especially the day I wore my letters. It was our last day in the village and in the afternoon we spent several hourssitting in the company of many of the women of the village while theyapplied henna to our skin. It was a profound moment as I glanced overat the Trek Team – a group of fifteen sorority women from the UnitedStates all wearing their letters, too. I could not help but wonder whatmy Founders would think if they knew of this movement by sororitywomen to help girls around the world achieve education. I felt surethey would be pleased at how far the sorority movement has come and confident they would be happy to know that sorority women today are continuing their vision to diminish inequality in education.After all, that was the common issue our Founders were dealing withat the time of our founding and the reason sororities came to be.

After spending six days and five nights in this small village withthese gracious and loving people, I could not help but notice ourcommon values manifested by the women of Ndoffane Boure –courage, graciousness, appreciation of one’s worth, a desire to beeducated and comfort in their own sisterhood and the one they created with us. We even sang to each other – the women of the village to our Trek Team and the Trek Team to the women of the village – at the closing ceremony that night.

The girls and young women of Ndoffane Boure are bright,insightful and so eager to learn. They wish more than anything to be educated so they can better their lives and the lives of theirchildren. They want to be teachers, doctors and even fashiondesigners. They have so much potential and they now serve as abeacon of what could be if all girls had the opportunity to go to school.

I am so proud to know that generations of girls in a small villagein Senegal will now be able to walk to a school building a shortdistance away from home to learn with their peers because of sororitywomen across the U.S. This experience has solidified my belief thatsorority women – as the largest body of college educated women inthe world – can be agents of transformational change in removingbarriers to education for girls around the world.
