For what it's worth, I am an alumna initiate, which means that I never spent any time as a collegian. Not even the semester that you will have! And I wouldn't trade my membership in Gamma Phi for anything in the world. My sisters are among my very best friends. I volunteer with two local chapters and am an officer in my alumnae chapter. If I really wanted to, between advisory activities and alumnae chapter activities, I could easily attend 2-3 or more Gamma Phi events every week. Is it the same as collegiate membership? Absolutely not. But there are many, many rewards to being an active alumna. Those dues that may seem daunting now are your ticket to a lifetime of opportunities.
