I am.

Am I the only one who thinks this post is contradicting itself?

I don't think so. I had to read it 3 times.

I think she's saying that when she was young she had some reasons for joining that were superficial and silly. She did not think about the lifetime commitments, bonds, and other things that really make a sorority. If alum were running recruitment it would fall on deaf ears because the things that she learned upon graduating aren't what many PNMs are looking for/responding to.

Sorry to be confusing. And yes, it is a contradiction. My lifetime membership in Alpha Xi Delta is priceless to me, but that didn't enter into it in the least when I was going through Rush. I was laughing to myself picturing a bunch of old ladies talking to a bunch of 18 year olds about what is REALLY important about sorority life. Somehow I don't think that would go over so well...

I am an active alum! Thankfully, while at law school, I have seen another Sorority member (a member of Delta Gamma) wear her letters pretty much every day. She is a 3L and it makes me happy to see women do that! I have seen AGDs, KKGs, AXiDs, PiPhis, ChiOs, DZs, SKs, Tri-Delts, and some Phi Mus (yay) at my law school. When I see them rockin' letters-it is great cause I don't feel so bad wanting more.

I just got our sorority catalog and I am psyched about the Vera shirts! I plan on buying some and wearing them. I am currently VP of the Columbus Chapter. I worked as the Treasurer for the Syracuse Chapter. I also served as Secretary of the South Central Pennsylvania Chapter. I made it to last year's convention and plan on making it to this upcoming convention in July!

I love being an alum!!!

Yes i am a very active alumni,
I pay about 100$ a month to my former university
Just to help their alumni association and whatever they do....
Its an honor to me.....

So many updates I have to just start over! :)


As an alumna in the past I have served as: Scholarship Advisor (EKU), Permanent Alumnae Secretary (Hanover), alumnae chapter corresponding secretary & college chapter liason (Lexington), Facility Corp. Board Secretary & President (EKU), Facility Corp. Board member (UK). I am formerly a member of Lexington Alumnae Chapter, and still have some associations with the Louisville Alumnae Chapter. I have donated items to our Fraternity archives.

Currently: I am a Life Loyal member, Recruitment/Membership/Panhellenic Advisor (EKU), and Alumnae Chapter President (Richmond, KY). I recently started an alumnae chapter in Richmond, the same city as EKU to directly support my chapter and to network with other alumnae as this is an area that my chapter has struggled with for quite a while. We were officially chartered with 27 members on April 1st, my birthday!! I am also a regular/yearly contributor to our foundation.

In the future (5-7 year plan) I HOPE to get an Alumnae Panhellenic group started in Lexington if one has not been formed by that time. We have atleast 18 NPC groups represented in this area if not more.

Good work! The Alum Panhell group is a good idea. 18 groups in the area gives you a lot of people to work with to get some things done. In Balto, we give out two scholarships every year for $1000 and $500. I wish they would make some changes so that we could increase those amounts, but it's a tradition that has lasted for over 50 years.

That's my birthday, too!

It's the best birthday to have! :)

I was, then I wasn't and now I am. When I moved and knew very few people, the Alumnae Chapter was an obvious way to meet people. I'm now VP of the Alumnae Chapter, attend events with the local collegiate goup and am a Pearl Sister which is sort of an alumnae big-sis to a colony new member.

As an alum group, we raise money for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation and scholarship prizes for the collegians. It must be working as over 1/2 of the local chapter had girls on the Dean's List for Fall Semester and the overall GPA was over 3.5.

I will update. We changed our volunteer structure. I'm still an Area Coordinator, but now it is for 10 collegiate chapters and 10 alumnae chapters/clubs.

I was also awarded the Arc of Epsilon Pi with Diamonds at our 2006 Convention.

The rest is all still the same, although I've been serving on numerous committees and task forces since this post, including Elections Committee and three task forces which are working on changes to various policies/handbooks, etc.

Theta Princess24 and FirstAndFinest, add me to the list as an April Fools baby!
