When I moved to the Atlanta area five years ago, I dutifully attended all the Alum Panhel events I could as the alternate delegate...also went to ALL the Gamma Phi alum events I could which was 90% of them. But I grew VERY weary of the drive into and thru downtown Atlanta -- the driving around here is insane! Plus no one ever wanted to come down my way and let me host an event despite my volunteering my house & culinary prowess...so I started "my own" Gamma Phi alum chapter and we were officially installed in June 2000! We have steady membership of 20-24 women... Plus a year later, I started an Alum Panhel in my area -- we were installed in July 2001...we have over 100 members representing 19 of the 26 NPC sororities and we gave our first scholarship (just$500 -- all raised thru "super sister" donations!) this past year to a high school senior...you know that old saying: if the mountain won't come to Mohammed......
