The Gamma Theta chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau now has...

11 wonderful new members!

They originally gave out 15 bids... one girl went Theta Phi, another went ASA, and two others (who are both freshmen) were really excited about it, but they decided to wait for a semester and focus on school first.

But everyone is very excited! I was also happy because 4 of them are freshmen, while the rest are upperclassmen.. so even if first semester freshmen still weren’t allowed to be bid, there would still be a class of 7 (which is excellent for the fall semester!).

This is the entire chapter (minus one sister) after the ribboning ceremony this past Monday:




30 sisters total!

The wedding I was at this past weekend was actually for one of my pledge sisters. There were a lot of AST alumnae there, and I ended up sitting with my New Member Director who joined a couple years before I did. She had asked about the chapter, and I told her they were at 30 members. She was extremely excited to hear the news, being 1 of 4 active sisters of the chapter when the national organization was about to close it. In fact, all of the alumnae were thrilled (and amazed) to hear this. We always struggled so much, and it’s good to know that Greek Life is thriving again on campus.

I hope all of the active sisters can appreciate and really see what they’ve done for the chapter, and for a few alumnae who wanted nothing more than to see it become what it is today.

And speaking of hard work, this is the Recruitment Chair and I after the ceremony. I know that by the last recruitment event this semester she was tired and overworked, but her efforts have paid off, she was truly a pleasure to work with, and has really made my job a whole lot easier! Thanks a bunch!




Final numbers for Fall ’09:

Alpha Sigma Alpha - 12 (39 total members)
Alpha Sigma Tau - 11 (30 total members)
Theta Phi Alpha - 16 (35 total members)


Until next semester!
