[AGDAlum]

Mine arrived in northeasternmost Illinois yesterday.

I do wish the Q had more substance. I like the features--this time, on "adventurous Alpha Gams." But they could go further. For example, in the previous issue about housing I would have liked to read about "the cost of a new house is $x per square foot," "x% of chapter houses were built between 1920 and 1939, etc." "current concerns in housing are upgrading wiring to allow internet access," "did you know that the Fraternity has a housing corporation whose purpose is...?" I would not mind a plug for "and here's how you can ensure that Alpha Gamma Delta provides competitive housing for its chapters."

I know the Q is a public relations piece for the world, but it's also the chief means of communication with the majority of alumnae. Presenting thorns as well as petals, not in a gloom-and-doom but to say "here are the challenges." (And "here's how we're meeting the challenges.")
