Are you involved in the local, regional or (inter)national level? What do you do specifically?

I'm a dues-paying Alumna Member ($ sent to Internationals as well as my local Alumnae Chapter).
I attend House Corp Board meetings for the local collegiate chapter at UW Madison.
I am the new President of the Madison Area Alumnae Chapter. We send out biannual newsletters and are starting to have more informal, social events for alumnae as well. Our first one last week was quite a success!
I'm visiting my initiating chapter this weekend for their benefit 5K run/walk, and am attending Convention this summer, so I kind of consider that work on the international level

Why did you choose this area of involvement?

There was a need for an active Alumnae Chapter President, and I wanted to get involved (I went alum this time last year).
I am starting out to be one of those super-involved alumnae. I like it, and I think it's appreciated so far. I'm hoping if people get too much of me, they'll tell me to tone the gamma phi-ness down a notch, haha.

Are you also a dues paying alumni member of your GLO?

Yes, there are annual dues to Gamma Phi Beta International, and each Alumnae Chapter has the option of collecting dues from participating members as well. I contribute to both, as well as a bit annually to the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation.

I know that AOP, DDD, DC and SC have Life Loyal programs and I'm sure there are more. If your GLO has a "Life Loyal" type program, are you a member? If not, why not?

We don't have any specific program called "Life Loyal," but we do try to emphasize that Gamma Phi Beta is a lifelong commitment, and there are so many oppurtunities for involvement at the alumnae level, and there are alumnae dues and chapters... hopefully sisters choose to continue to participate.
