Cool! I was wondering when that was going to arrive. I did the address change a little while ago, but I hope they didn't forget about me. :)

cheated and looked on the website... :D

Crossing my fingers that I'll get it before Convention!

I cheated and looked online, too. ;)

I got mine yesterday, too! :)

Got mine!
 

It's really cool to read about chapters in other states and think, "Gee, I actualy know someone from that chapter!" or having a Province Director from that area!;) :D

That's what will make Convention extra special!!:D

i got my very frist quarterly in the mail the other day and go all excited, like i was a little bit more alpha gam. just out of curiousity who does the quarterly? its it alumnae, different officers, or just random people?

have a super summer!

The Quarterly is done by staff members in the communications department at International Headquarters along with contributions from various sources - volunteers, members, etc. :)

Being an AB alum, gotta love the feature on Phoebe Morse Swinehart and her family :-)

Finally got mine...along with the Winter 2004 Quarterly :)

Still has not arrived in Los Angeles! :(

Got mine (in Dallas) last Tuesday. Yours can't be far behind. :)

Mine arrived in northeasternmost Illinois yesterday.

I do wish the Q had more substance. I like the features--this time, on "adventurous Alpha Gams." But they could go further. For example, in the previous issue about housing I would have liked to read about "the cost of a new house is $x per square foot," "x% of chapter houses were built between 1920 and 1939, etc." "current concerns in housing are upgrading wiring to allow internet access," "did you know that the Fraternity has a housing corporation whose purpose is...?" I would not mind a plug for "and here's how you can ensure that Alpha Gamma Delta provides competitive housing for its chapters."

I know the Q is a public relations piece for the world, but it's also the chief means of communication with the majority of alumnae. Presenting thorns as well as petals, not in a gloom-and-doom but to say "here are the challenges." (And "here's how we're meeting the challenges.")

I still haven't received mine yet, but it seems like everyone else's is lagging too. I'm sure mine will take even longer because it will have to be forwarded.

Nann, I agree with you that the Quarterly could be a little more substantive. Our alumnae are a wonderful resource, but they can't help if they don't know what the challenges are. In the Q's defense though, I think it has become much more substantive within the last year. Our new editor is doing a fabulous job...I see no reason why the Quarterly won't continue to improve. :)
