Yeah, that is a lot of Philos. That would be nice to read about in the Aurora! :)

The name of the chapter is the Zeta Alpha Sigma Chapter in College Park, it is under Georgia State University. I am very excited, but I know that some ladies may not follow through with the whole process, but I have 18(including myself) interested ladies, and so far, I know that 12-15 are SERIOUS, because they have all wanted to be apart of an sorority at some point and time, but do not posess a 4 yr degree, so I came along and offer them the opportunity to join an org that functions like one, & the jump at the opportunity. So I think that it will be great!

I'm so glad that you and the other interested women are excited. Let me just explain something to you about the bolded text so you know how our chapters are established, although I'm sure that Zeta Alpha Sigma will explain this to you at some point. Only alumni chapters can start and sponsor a Philo Club and alumni chapters represent cities, not colleges and universities like our undergrad chapters do. So the chapter that your Philo Club will be sponsored by is the Zeta Alpha Sigma chapter of College Park or College Park, GA. (also all of our alumni chapters end in Sigma). So you will be a Zeta Alpha Sigma Philo.

Every alumni chapter is responsible for and advises specific undergrad chapters at colleges and universities in their area. So Zeta Alpha Sigma advises the undergrad chapter at Georgia State University (among others) and the name of that chapter is Omicron Gamma. Now since the alumni and the undergrad chapters they advise work closely together, you will probably meet ladies from the Omicron Gamma chapter at Georgia State and it's very likely that there are Omicron Gamma graduates now in the College Park alumni chapter although not exclusively. So I just wanted you to understand that the chapter that will be sponsoring you is the Zeta Alpha Sigma alumni chapter of College Park, not under Georgia State University.:)

OOOOOOHHHHH!:eek: I see it! Ok, Thanks. Ok, it the Zeta Alpha Sigma Chapter of College Park.:D

I appreciate that, I want to learn all that I can about SGRho's and the Philo affiliates.

Zeta Alpha Sigma is a lovely chapter, I worked very closely with those ladies as a member of Eta Sigma (Atlanta Alumnae) chapter.

Agreed. :D Eta Sigma and Zeta Alpha Sigma just did the Annual Youth Symposium together for the second consecutive year. Plus, we get along pretty well on a personal level. SisteRHOood is GREAT!

Members of all three ATL chapters will be stRHOlling in the Stroll Competion at the Atlanta Greek Picnic. Yours truly will be repRHOsenting!

When is this stroll competition? i may have plans to be in ATL (1st time w00t w00t!) to visit a friend.

I'm so glad that I'm not gonna be on the stroll team this year. It was SOOOOO hot last year, and we were out there practicing in the hot sun.

I was cute though...;)

Alright sorors...let's turn this thread back over to the topic of the Philo Club before BlueReign comes in here and closes it.:)

^^^ I think I may be evil for wanting to continue the convo.

The stroll competition is scheduled to start at 3:30. The GAPHC stepped up their game this year because there will be a stage!

@ Jubi - Hush yo' mouth. This will probably be my last time doing it. But maybe I'll be the lucky charm considering that when I strolled 5 years ago, we (3 other sorors and moi) won that competition hands down.

Good Luck to the aspiring Philos. (I tried to stay somewhat on topic.)

Well, Thanks to all the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho Inc. for all of the information regarding your Philo organization. I will make sure that I keep you posted on my induction!

Yall better stop talking about me behind my back! LOL!:p

Come back and start a "Philos introduce yourself" thread! :D

I haven't been on here for awhile but since I rep the lovely Zeta Alpha Sigma chapter, I wanted to say hello to Ms. CoCo. The sorors are very excited about the Philos and the tremendous work that CoCo has done to get the ball rolling.

Hi Soror!

You all should be proud of her. She was very humble in trying to find out more about the Philo Club and I can tell that she will be a great asset to the family. I also told her to make sure you all write something for the Aurora so the sorors can read about them.

Also, I tried to find a website for your chapter but I couldn't seem to find one. If you have one, please post the URL.:) I may be leading the effort to reactivate the Alpha Eta Sigma (Philly Alumnae) Philo Club so I may be calling on you in the future for a little help.
