having an excited, yet sensitive nmc for the alphas is important.... she should be approachable and communicate with alphas to find out what their expectations are, let them know what to expect and all other important information, and make sure that all deltas are respectful and welcoming to the alpha class. do the alphas get to meet the exec board right after they become alphas? do they get their diamond sisters and prides quickly? having connections early in their experience is important.... making the alphas feel as much a part of the chapter, and vital to it is important... the girls should know that they are wanted and are equal with any other sister in the chapter. that's what is great about adpi -- there is no being a 'lowly pledge'.... what kind of alpha ed program does your chapter have? are the alphas invited to all chapter activities? are they aware that all events are not 'mandatory' and able to become adjusted to the sorority and sorority life? anyways... feel free to pm me and i'll gladly talk about more alpha ed details... being nmc was one of the best experiences i have had in adpi
