your GLO:
Proud member of Kappa Kappa Gamma

how long you've been a member:
Initiated in spring of '98, alum in spring of '01

how active an alum you've been:
I became an advisor to a different chapter 3 months after I graduated and joined our local Alumnae group shortly thereafter. I currently serve the fraternity as Advisory Board Chair and Adviser to two offices and as President of our Alumnae Association. And I want to do more!

why you come to GC:
I stumbled upon it through somewhere, enjoyed what I was reading and stayed! I enjoy reading the various opinions on subjects concerning Greek Life today (whether or not they're in line with my own) and I enjoy getting to know Panhellenic sisters from all over the country!

what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active:
Like many of you, I just love what Kappa represents and what she has given to me. In order to keep her Tradition of Leadership around for another 130 years, the younger alumnae--such as myself--have to step in and take the reigns. I enjoy helping out the chapter I advise and just want to give future generations of Kappas the same love and sisterhood I found while I was an undergrad.

Of course you may know! It stands for Volunteer Service Team and is made up of all our volunteers on an International level. This does not include the local volunteers. Hope that helps!

GLO
 

GLO- -Lambda Chi Alpha.

How Long- 1966, BX Founder in 1965= 38 Years.

How Active- -Restarted the Alum Golf Outing, Initiated the Alumni Association, Member of the Mentoring Team, Member of the House Corporation,, Keeper of the E-Mail Listing.

Why GC- - Very Simple, to learn. One of the best places that I have learned about not only My Brothers/Chapters, but Members of Other GLOS, and People from each and everyone of them!


What do I enjoy about My GLO- - It gives me the ability to meet not only The New Brothers, but keeping in touch with Brothers from over 38 years. When Brothers get together (The Old Farts), and talk about the past and The Youngersters say are you kidding, You Guys Did That!

Age Difference, there is None as We all enjoy the same thing, LXA! 18 to 60+ time is nothing when My Fellow Brothers from My Zeta or anyother Gather. It means something when I or anyother Brothet Introduces HimSelf, as Hi, I am Tom Earp and I am a LX!:cool:

Oh, LXAAlum, will be thinking Of The Brothers at N. Co. U This weekend! For You that do not know, They are Getting Re-Chartered!:cool:

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active - I LOVE THE SISTERS I MEET AND THE STORIES WE SHARE. I LOVE THE "LIGHT" I SEE IN A NEW MEMBERS EYE WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE RITUAL FOR THE FIRST TIME OR WHEN THEY "FEEL" RITUAL FOR THE FIRST TIME. I LOVE THE EXCITEMENT THAT I GET FROM WORKING WITH THE COLLEGIANS AND I LOVE THE HISTORY I GET FROM WORKING WITH THOSE OLDER THAN ME. I LOVE LEARNING HOW SO-AND-SO CHAPTER DOES SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN I DO. I LOVE RITUAL AND LEARNING EACH TIME I EXPERIENCE IT. I AM STILL ACTIVE BECAUSE THAT IS THE OATH I MADE TO AOII OVER 10 YEARS AGO AND I GET SO MUCH MORE BACK THAN I EVER PUT INTO IT.

-anything else you care to share - FOR THE COLLEGIANS, KEEP ACTIVE AFTER YOU GRADUATE... AND IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO FIND YOUR NICHE IN THE ALUM WORLD - DON'T WORRY TAKE YOUR TIME AND STICK TO IT - IT'S BETTER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

TO THE ALUMS - IF YOU'RE NOT ACTIVE GET ACTIVE - FIND YOUR NICHE TOO, MAYBE ITS WITH AN LOCAL ALUM CHAPTER, OR MAYBE ITS WITH A LOCAL COLLEGIATE CHAPTER OR JUST MAYBE YOU'RE CRAZY LIKE A LOT OF US AND ITS BOTH!! BUT BELIEVE ME - IT'S BETTER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

It's interesting to learn about other organizations and campuses. Helps me keep a bigger perspective for the adventure that is Greek advising!

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
My brothers are still the best friends I have ever had! I've gotten so much from Phi Sigma Kappa, its like a debt that is never fully repaid. My involvement is the least I can do. Plus, unlike most people, I've been able to turn this "Greek thing" into a career.

-anything else you care to share
Get involved as an alum as soon as you can after graduation. It's much harder to come back once you have a family and have been away from it for several years. Get involved-stay involved!

It's rewarding in so many ways. Alumnae involvement gives you the opportunity to pass along the experience to collegiate members, and connect with others who share the love, passion and commitment to the Fraternity.

why you come to GC: for ideas and to interact with other alums, I haven't been posting too much yet though
what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active: I firmly believe that you get out of things what you put into them. I got a lot out of my chapter during my college days. I think by contributing back to the chapter I can help women get more out of their experience.

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active: It has changed SO MUCH (for the better) from when I rushed. I like coming around and saying I am part of this and was part of the initial change.
