THE. KEY • ummer 2000 • 9 Women of Like Ideals Kappa standards maintain stability in a changing society

alues - we hear about them /rom every source and in every context imaginable. From clergy to politicians, educators to parents, H seems that values is the abuzz word" o/ the day. However, frequent repetition seem to diminish, rather than enhance, something that is basic to our lives.

Words and concepts such as values, standards, ethics, morals are interrelated. Together they /orm the basis, the philosophical standpoint /rom which we derive our ideals and determine our personal behavior. Members o/ Kappa Kappa Gamma also look to an {{understanding o/ and an allegiance to positive ethical principles," according to our Mission Statement. Perhaps we would state our values more simply as those ideals which are good, true and beautiful.

THe Kn · ummer 2000 · 19 TODAY'S COLLEGE WOMAN Who Is she and what compels her to Join a sorority?

- BY LAURA SHOCK SCHERER, Bowling Green

he campus freshman today starts her first day of classes with an entirely new sense of T freedom, beliefs and anticipation than did our sisters of 1870. Today's college freshman is a young woman who feels the need to compete and is ready to do so in a world where attitudes and values have changed drastically over the past three decades. Students are experiencing a much more diversified campus due to the explosion of women, minorities and international students. These findings are based on a 30-year study, "The American Freshman," conducted by the UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute, which compares the attitudes of nine million freshman students who have answered question­ naires on 1,500 campuses since 1966.

Collecting Tips

Collecting for the future is a bit of a gamble. Like bet­ ting on the market, you can never be certain but you can be smart. Here are some suggested tips. Purchase what you like. Buy for pleasure. You may be living with this object for a long period. Learn as much as you can about your chosen field. Libraries and the Internet are excellent resources. Build a library of your own on the subject. Research data, price guides and books related to your subject area offer invaluable hands-on resources. Subscribe to trade journals and auction catalogs.

THE Kn • ummer 2000 • 29 Fifty Years of Friendships Shared by Kappas True

- By IDA JANE MEADOWS GALLAGHER, West Virginia

"It amazes me that the bond between us is still so strong - almost as though we picked up on conuersations where we left off so years ago - remembering funny little things as though they took place only yesterday, sharing happenings and family pictures, and louing each other once again."

- NANCY BOWERS DAVIS, West Virginia

eta Upsilon Kappas joined hands and hearts again at two 50-year reunions in October of 1998 and B1999. These sisters formed deep bonds of friend­ ship in their active years when BETA UPSILON Chapter made a committed effort to achieve scholastic, athletic and campus leadership and social goals. Emphasis on Kappa standards and leadership development bore fruit when Beta Upsilon won the national Scholarship Award in 1950, after seven consecutive years of maintaining first place in Greek scholarship on campus and dominating the membership of scholastic honoraries. A versatile group, the chapter also captured the Women's Athletic Cup and individual Kappas were chosen as campus leaders and crowned as beauty queens. Beta Upsilon tried to develop women of character, each of whom would leave college prepared to make unique contributions to fam­ ily, society and business. The blessed support of caring and loving sisters provided the setting for the 1950s woman to gain self-confidence and leadership skills. Fifty years down the road, the classes of 1948 and 1949looked back with amazement and pride when they discovered what their Kappa sisters had accomplished. They shared the joys of being reunited by laughing at their wrinkles and sags, recalling the days when campus beauty queens were a dime a dozen and when fraterni­ ties serenaded a newly pinned sister blushing in the doorway of the Kappa house. Re-enacting similar scenes on campuses or in other settings across the continent, Kappas come together to celebrate their years of friendship and support. No matter the setting, the decor, the food, the activities or the individuals involved, reunions "bring back memories deep and sweet and fond."

EDITOR's NOTE: Planning a reunion? See The Key, Summer 1999 for helpful tips on invitations, arrangements, budget, 1948 and 1949 and an event newsletter. West Virginia m embers th ' en and now. Members of the William and Mary Class of '52 thought of themselves as "children with grand­ mother faces " when they gathered at a Florida home for a 40-year reunion. A stretch limousine transported them from the airport and duty assignments for the visit were drawn from a Kappa mug. Taping songs for an absent sister, wearing Kappa t-shirts and a memory book assembled by an artist in the group helped recall that life was beautiful that weekend.

Gathered in front of the Kappa house; members of Epsilon Phi, Florida, celebrated the chapter's 20th anniversary.

Kappa Kamp is the theme for Mu, Butler, members from 1959- 1963, an event that lasts five days or "until the food runs out." Twelve to 15 Kappas ignore chubby knees and wrinkles while celebrating life 's milestones and continuing 40 years of support for each other.

Kappa Kappa Gamma recognizes individual excellence in volunteer and professional pursuits on a national and international basis. The awards are presented at the Biennial Convention and are often a highly anticipated moment. The year 2000 finds five women who excel in their chosen field while continuing to personify the Fraternity standards and values. Congratulations to this year's Alumnae Achievement Award Recipients: PEGGY KIRK BELL, Rollins; MARJORIE McKEE BLANCHARD, Cornell; JANE STEVENSON DAY, Colorado; M.

PEGGY KIRK BELL Influences Women Through Sports PEGGY KIRK BELL PH.D., Rollins, is a renowned golf specialist, charter member of the LPGA, and a strong advocate for family. The Key featured Peggy and many of her golf accomplishments last spring. In 1953 Peggy married her hometown sweetheart, Warren E. (Bullet) Bell, who was also an athlete and pro-basketball player. They combined their love of sports and business sense, and joined with friends in purchasing Pine Needles golf course in Southern Pines, N.C. Eventually they became sole owners of the resort and built it into a leading cen­ ter which will host the 2001 U.S. Women's Open. When the Bells were not working on growing their personally­ designed resort, they raised three very successful chil­ dren. Their family includes BoNNIE BELL McGowAN, Rollins; PEGGY BELL MILLER, Alabama, son Kirk Bell and their spouses. The entire family reflects the passion for combining sports and business. In addition to receiving many of golf's highest hon­ ors, Peggy is one of the first women to serve on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Board of Directors, a term she shared with former Dallas Cowboys Coach Tom Landry. She is a life trustee and FCA Hall of Fame member. She has instructed, organ­ ized conferences, written books, lectured, put together

This was followed by an honorary Doctorate at Methodist College and Sandhill Community College and numerous civic awards. Through her passion and success, Peggy has main­ tained good health. She has been afforded the opportu­ nity to travel, and she has a special collection of classic cars, including a restored 1929 Model A, a couple of 1964 Mustangs, a Lincoln, and a London Taxi. Her nom­ ination for the AAA stated: "Peggy fulfills the require­ ments for this award not only for her numerous accom­ plishments, but also because she has influenced women from all over the world through her first-rate golf clinics at her family-run golf resort."

Jane personally gave more than 1SO lectures, trained nearly 800 docents (SO percent Hispanic and 20 percent bilingual), and organ­ ized a 42-member council of government, academic, business, and community leaders. The museum did community outreach, special events, sponsored visits, and brought in lecturers and scholars. Denver Museum's Navajo objects were later displayed at the Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City, one of the first anthropological exhibits ever to be presented by the United States in Mexico. Jane has been married to Horace for almost SO years; together they raised four daughters Ellen, Cynthia, Kathleen and Amy and they now have eight grandchil­ dren. Jane's sister is CLARE STEVENSON BROWN, Purdue. Jane did a lot of reading and writing, and community volunteering as she raised her family. She credits her husband and supportive family with encouraging her to enter her "new and vital career." As KAREN KEcK ALBIN, Missouri, president of the Denver Alumnae Association says about Jane, "She is an extremely bright and interesting woman. She has won­ derful stories to tell and enjoys sharing them with indi­ viduals and groups.

"We're gonna walk, walk and talk, talk with our minds on Kappa." These are song lyrics many Kappas have sung over the years, but how many really stop to examine what this song means. On April 8 and 9 in Toledo, Ohio, alumnae and collegians alike, teamed up to lead life with integrity at Kappa Kinetics, the Fraternity's own intergenerational weekend sem­ inar. Kappa Kinetics is designed to help women of all ages explore their personal life journey and develop skills in con­ verting the action of "talking the talk" to "walking the walk." Whether 80 years old or 18, the journey of liv­ ing a good life and exemplifying behaviors congruent and consis­ tent with ones central values and beliefs never ends. It is the same jour­ ney that began with the Kappa Founders and continues to weave its way through the lives of Kappa women today. The values then, and the values now, have not changed since the day six young women marched into that chapel in Monmouth, Ill., proudly displaying golden keys in their hair and exemplifying the Kappa value of living up to all that is fine in life and thought and character.
