Kappa Delta Continues to Grow

The National Council is pleased to announce that Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., has selected Kappa Delta to colonize in 2014. Kappa Delta will join nine other National Panhellenic Conference sororities on campus: Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Mu, Phi Sigma Rho, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha.

“Kappa Delta’s vision, mission and programming closely mirror what the community is working toward through the Shared Standards of the Fraternities and Sororities at VCU,” said Betty Mulkey, who as national vice president leads Kappa Delta’s extension efforts. “Kappa Delta and the VCU community are a natural fit as we work to achieve the same goals.”

Founded in 1838, VCU is one of the nation’s top research universities, with more than 31,000 students on two Richmond campuses. VCU has a vibrant 40-year Greek history, currently with 1,000 members in more than 30 chapters. In February 2012, the College Panhellenic Council at VCU was named a finalist for the best College Panhellenic Council in the nation at the Association of Fraternity Leadership and Values Central Conference in St. Louis, Mo.

For additional information or for those interested in helping with the colonization, contact Kirstin Barry, extension and new chapter development manager at Kappa Delta National Headquarters, at 800.536.1897, Ext. 202 or kirstin.barry@kappadelta.org

National Panhellenic Conference Message

Health is a Precious Commodity

by NPC Chairman Jane Sutton, Alpha Xi Delta

Women are prone to overlooking an ache or pain. We can easily dismiss a headache, fatigue, inability to sleep – and even weight gain of a few pounds. But we really shouldn’t. As caregivers and career professionals, we often pull double-duty in our life roles – not to mention the additional time we put into volunteering for sorority. This month, we remind you to put yourself first.

When it comes to health, you are the best judge of something that may be awry. If you wait for a loved one or colleague to tell you that you’re not on your usual game, your symptoms may have waylaid you into a chronic condition.

Falling back on a cliché about prevention is too simple, but we want you to take a moment to listen to the advice of Dr. Kate Wolin, a St. Louis-based epidemiologist and Chi Omega. Dr. Wolin has good advice for women of all ages, especially about the habits that we fall into when young that will lead to potential diseases in later life.

We’re seeing startling health trends these days, from obesity to early onset of diabetes. And women are still making the same mistakes that can easily be corrected to get on a better path to health. These are minor changes in lifestyle that result in major health differences. We can all start making quick changes during National Women’s Health Week this May 13-19 (beginning on Mother’s Day). You will find NPC listed as a partner with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health as we help to spread the word.

Let’s start with some small steps.

Take a friend for a brisk 30-minute walk.
Log off your computer and head out into the fresh air.
Jump into those pools that will open up on Memorial Day weekend.

Let’s take care of each other and ourselves. And don’t forget to take the pledge to encourage women to visit their health-care professionals for checkups.

The National Panhellenic Conference has a long history of being health aware – from our Something of Value program which addresses risky behaviors on campus to the various health-related philanthropies of our member groups that educate and raise research funds for the good of all.

It is never too late to start practicing good health habits. So start now. And share your story of health with NPC on Facebook or Twitter. We are always glad to share good news and always willing to listen to a sister.

Great Strides

			RUTH JOHNSON COLVIN Ruth Johnson Colvin has published her memoir, “Off the Beaten Path: Stories of People Around the World,” through Syracuse University Press. Ruth, the founder of Literacy Volunteers of America, which merged to become ProLiteracy, traveled the world with husband Robert, pictured, visiting 62 countries and providing literacy training in 26 developing countries. The Lambda-Northwestern alumna also is the recipient of nine honorary doctorates and the 1987 President’s Volunteer Action Award. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1991 and named a Kappa Delta Woman of Achievement in 1995.
			STEPHANIE ALEXANDER Zeta Sigma-Charleston alumna Stephanie Alexander has published her first novel, “The Cracked Slipper.” Written in the style of historical fiction, the book takes a familiar tale past “happily ever after” to uncover characters with relatable problems and emotions. Stephanie earned a master’s degree in sociology from the American University and spent several years working as a policy associate at the International Center for Research on Women, a think-tank focused on women’s health and economic advancement. Stephanie says she wrote the first draft in four months of late nights as her own “little princesses and miniature Prince Charming” slept. She is polishing the second of two planned sequels. For more information, visit www.thecrackedslipper.com and follow Stephanie on Twitter, @crackedslipper.
			NOELLE MOODIE FOX Mrs. Virginia Crowning Virtue 2012 is Zeta Phi-Pittsburg State alumna Noelle Moodie Fox. Noelle’s selection was based on her platform, which is Bully Prevention and Awareness, and her performance during the pageant interview, aerobics and gown competitions. She will compete in the Miss America Crowning Virtue pageant in June. Noelle is a wife, mother and a consultant for Arbonne, a supplier of health and beauty products.
			RUTH HOLBERT STEELE A TV commercial that ran nationwide and has become a hit on YouTube features 92-year-old Ruth Holbert Steele, a 1939 Omicron-Illinois Wesleyan initiate. Ruth, a lifelong resident of Normal, Ill., is shown driving a new Mitsubishi electric car around the city, where Mitsubishi has a manufacturing facility. She is a Kappa Delta Order of the Emerald award honoree and remains active in the Bloomington-Normal alumnae chapter, which she served for many years as an officer. Her daughter-in-law, Linda Warnock Steele, is an alumna of Epsilon Eta-Illinois State and granddaughter Katie Brokaw is an initiate of Omicron-Illinois Wesleyan. To view the video, go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0kOoWaOtQ.
			TAMMY LETHERER In her first novel, a coming-of-age story entitled “Hello Loved Ones,” Tammy Letherer redefines family ties and challenges readers to ask: Is love determined by blood or by choice? And what responsibility do we have to the life we create? The Sigma Upsilon-Indiana graduate released her book in March with a book launch sweepstakes, providing the winner with a two-night stay in Holland, Mich., Tammy’s hometown and the setting for her book. More information is available at TammyLetherer.com.

Great Memories

A KD Heronie

by Shirley Gee, Kappa Delta Foundation Archives Coordinator

Inez Abernethy was involved in a very dramatic event at Florida State College for Women (now Florida State University) where she was the head of the art department from 1905 to 1914. Prior to the event that earned her recognition as a heroine, Inez joined Kappa Delta Sorority as a faculty sponsor in 1905 and was initiated in December of that year.

A year later, on Dec. 22, 1906, West Hall, where Inez was serving as the faculty resident, caught fire. She sounded the alarm and worked tirelessly to wake the girls and get them to safety. Unfortunately, West Hall burned to the ground and with it her materials in the art studio that was located in the building.

When she accepted the position as instructor in painting and drawing, she was informed by President Albert A. Murphree that the art equipment at the college was meager and inadequate. As a result, Inez brought her own collection of casts, models, drawings and oil paintings that were used freely by the students as if the materials were college property.

In the years after the fire, Inez and President Murphree petitioned the state legislature to compensate her for her losses. In 1909, she received $2,500, half of the amount that she had requested for the lost collection of art. In the same act that granted her these funds, she was recognized for her heroism during the disaster: “There being no man on the campus at the time, her efforts to save the lives of the girls sleeping in that building, [she] deliberately sacrificed her collection, which she otherwise could have saved.”

In the October 1906 issue of The Angelos, prior to the fire, Kappa Alpha chapter reported: “We enjoyed many informal social functions during the year, but the climax of our social life was reached on May 26 when we gave our annual banquet. The table was beautifully and artistically decorated to carry out the color scheme, green and white. Inez Abernathy gave a toast to “The Future of KD.”

In the May 1907 Angelos, the chapter wrote: “In spite of the fact that we are now quite homeless, Kappa Alpha is still prospering. In our last letter we told you that our chapter room had been lost, and that Miss Abernethy was kindly lending us her room for our meetings. While at home for the holidays, we received news that one of our dormitories had been entirely destroyed by fire. This hall contained not only our temporary chapter room, but also the music, art and domestic studios. Perhaps the greatest loss was sustained by Miss Abernethy, whose most valuable paintings were burned. Our fate is now hanging in the balance, for we are a state college, and that variable quantity, the Florida Legislature, is now in session. However, we always hope for the best.”

Inez left the school in 1914. A final item on her is printed in Alumnae Notes in The Angelos: “Inez Abernethy, ’05, is under a year’s leave of absence from the Florida State College and is studying at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.” She never returned to Florida to teach, choosing instead to live in New York City where she offered her services in interior design and taught art at the Pratt Institute.

From October 1935 to January 1939, Inez was employed by the Easel Division of the Federal Art Project, the visual artist’s department of the New Deal WPA. According to an article in a 1941 Flambeau, the Florida school newspaper, Inez was responsible for the two companion paintings, “May” and “October” which were then on display. Both are now on a list of WPA paintings that are in need of restoration.

Inez was born in Summerville, Ark., on Oct. 27, 1873, and died in New York on Jan. 8, 1956. She is buried at Oakland Cemetery in Warren, Ark.

On the Road Again

Nationwide provides tips to prepare cars for summer travel

One pop. That’s all it takes to kill a road trip, so check the air in your tires about twice a month. And use a pressure gauge, because vision can be deceiving.

Keep track of the tread depth on your tires, too. You’ll need replacements before the tread gets down to 4/32 inches. For a quick measure, insert a quarter into the tread upside down; if part of Washington’s head is covered, you’re okay. If you like to flirt with danger, remember that at 2/32 inches, your tires effectively have no traction. Not only will you be coasting toward an accident, a ticket could follow, thanks to those bald tires.

Also, remember to have your wheels rotated at least every other oil change, especially on a front-wheel drive car. This keeps your treads wearing at an even rate and allows you to replace all four tires at once, maintaining handling and balanced braking traction.

Finally, if you spend part of the year in snow, consider specialty tires that will help you stay rubber-side down, year-round.

Because you’re a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, you may be eligible for special discounts on Nationwide auto insurance. For more information, call 866.633.5747.
