Kappa Kappa Gamma is pleased to offer The Kappa Connection as a service to its membership. As Kappas, we have the opportunity to bond with one another in sisterhood. Our individual talents, skills, and interests are tremendously valuable, especially when shared with others, and The Kappa Connection connects sisters for the benefit of each. The Kappa Connection is a database of personal information about participating alumnae and collegians, designed to connect women of all ages. Some examples: • Undergraduates can access professional women to discuss their career experiences. • Women relocating or pursuing a new interest can search for similar Kappas in their geographical area. • Kappas can locate other Kappas with certain skills and interests. • Graduating Kappas can make connections with alumnae. • Kappas of any age may find a mentor or new friend. Accessing this information is easy! Just call Headquarters at 614/228-6515 and a staff member can help you obtain a list that meets your needs!
If you are interested in finding the alumnae association nearest you, please contact Headquarters for more information at 614/228-6515.

Moving that often does not offer much opportunity to build a career with one company. Out of necessity, I became flexible with my career path. Over the years, I worked for the Colorado Department of Revenue, had my own tax preparation practice, gave that up to work for the Internal Revenue Service after one of my relocations, had a baby, moved and worked for a CPA, moved again, had another baby, worked for an attorney as a tax specialist paralegal and earned a master's of taxation degree. Four years ago we moved from Creston, Iowa, to Longview, Texas. I was not looking forward to looking for a new position in Longview right away and did not want to quit my paralegal job with the attorney. We worked out an arrangement where I would continue to work on a scaled down basis doing specific assignments on an "as needed" basis. In addition to my work for the attorney, I decided to expand my business and take on other clients. I prepare a variety of tax returns, represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service, and write articles explaining taxes in ordinary English. My client base now extends over four states.

By SusAN TuRNER MATH EW, DePauw When I consider my myriad of identities: wife, mother, lawyer, daughter, sister, friend, volunteer, writer, and - of course - just being me, an individual, I cannot imagine fulfilling these assorted roles without my computers close at hand. My primary goal of spending more time with my two preschoolers fuels my computer endeavors. At home, I have already computerized many of my domestic and personal activities. We keep our investment portfolios on the com puter and update them daily with the changes in the market. We also chart our household expenditures and financial records. We have our address book on the computer for hol iday mailings and even use it to generate holiday greetings. I continually seek new uses for my computer both at home and in my legal practice to streamline my work and carve out extra family time. My husband and I are partners in our law firm in Phoenix, Ariz. We have two computers in our office, one in our home and a laptop for portable use. We both take advantage of numerous on-line commercial legal research services, CD ROM materials, and legal information available free via the Internet for quick and efficient legal research. My trips to the local law libraries have diminished by almost 90 percent. My research hours are no longer confined by the libraries' sched ules. As information is available on-line 24 hours a day, I can investigate legal issues while my children nap or after they go to bed at night. Lowering Costs Computer-based research benefits my clients as well in lowering costs.

In the fall of 1977 I began my college career, pledged Kappa, and got my first job working with computers - all at the University of Pittsburgh! It was a great time for me all around, but getting that job meant the world to me. I was a computer operator in the giant "Cathedral of Learning;' four years before the devel opment of the first personal computer. Back then Pitt housed an impressive network of DEC mini- and main frames, servicing over 30,000 users in the community including students, local businesses, and the medical school. Computing was taken very seriously and being an operator meant dealing with every aspect of the network, from rebooting the local site to fixing jammed keypunch es. Those keypunches supplied a great deal of confetti for my Kappa sisters and me to take to football games.

One woman's answer was to make Kappa Kappa Gamma a leader in educational programming. This was the dream of SALLY MooRE NITSCHKE, Ohio State, Fraternity President 1980-84, whose service to the Fraternity was cut short by her death in April1995. Throughout her life, Sally brought to the forefront issues that women confront on a daily basis - issues such as personal safety, domestic violence, and self esteem - and through Kappa Kappa Gamma she combated these problems faced by her sisters. Sally personally helped develop the programs of KEEP SAFE, INSIGHT on Domestic Violence, and SEEK (Self-Esteem for Every Kappa) - programs which can provide life-improving opportunities. A whirlwind of activity with a mind that never stopped, Sally envisioned future education topics, including pro Providing Kappas with life-long education grams dealing with money management; re-entering the opportunities was a dream of Sally Nitschke. work force; divorce; death of a husband; and personal in her memory by the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation standards.

Editor's Note: While today computers are common in offices and homes, the birth of computer development came during World War II. An early computer known as the "Bombe" helped cryptographers decipher German military codes and aided the fight of the Allies (the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union) against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan . The "Bombe" is currently housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., displayed in honor of its part in history.

For FRANCES STEEN SuDDETH JosEPHSON, Goucher, her job was so highly classified that she could not discuss it with parents, husband, or children. Fran fmally disclosed her secret life in 1992, when the government declassified an important World War II military operation - the decipherment of enemy codes by a hand-picked group of American women. The details of Fran's decipherment work and how she was chosen to take part in a vitally important clandestine project could be spun into an intriguing spy novel. In the spring of 1942, the war effort in the United States had just begun. Great Britain, supported by the Commonwealth of Nations (including Canada and Australia), and France were fighting against Germany, and American fighting men were just beginning their involvement in the struggle. While Fran was a senior at Goucher College in 1942, she was secretly recruited for communications intelli gence work, along with 10 or 12 other Goucher science and mathematics students. Goucher President Dorothy Stinson, the cousin of Secretary of War Henry Stinson, quietly called Fran to her office and unveiled the urgent need of the United States government to train cryptogra phers and to put them to work deciphering enemy codes. The War Department also recruited from the other

She says the women in her chapter were remarkable because they successfully balanced academics, extracurricular activities, families, and sister hood. "They were women who knew what they wanted out of life. Being a Kappa showed me the importance of sustaining and nurturing women friendships." Danielle's junior year was marked by her selection as a Beinecke Scholar, one of 14 nationally. As a senior she was named a USA Today Academic All-American, one of 20 nationwide and the first William & Mary student ever to be chosen. She was also awarded the Carr Memorial Cup, which honors the graduating senior who best exem plifies outstanding character, leadership, and scholarship. ''Although I have strived to make these qualities part of my personal credo, they were reaffirmed within the sister hood of Kappa Kappa Gamma:' says Danielle. The highlight of her senior year was winning one of 40 British Marshall Scholarships, which are awarded to American seniors. The scholarship covers two years of study in any discipline, leading to the award of a British degree and tenable at any British university. Danielle is only the second student and first woman from William & Mary to be awarded a Marshall Scholarship. In her per sonal statement submitted for the scholarship, Danielle described her experience in Bangladesh during the sum mer of 1992, which was made possible by a William & Mary Parents Association Scholarship.
