Honestly:why did you join a GLO,why is it special and are you still glad you did?

I had a hard time adjusting to college the first semester. I really didn't like it much because I had been so involved in so many things in highschool (Girl Scouts, NHS, Spanish Club, candystriping, working) that when I got to college I felt lost and didn't feel like I had a niche. My boyfriend and my best friend were both pledging TKE that semester so I was exposed to a lot of Greeks. They had some good friends who were Tri-Sigmas and we all hung out alot. I was asked to join the University Ambassadors Society that first semester. It was an organization that assisted with student recruitment by making phone calls in interested students, manning information lines and giving campus tours. It was an invite only organization based on demonstrated good grades and leadership ability from high school or college. Within the Ambassador Society, I met a ton more Greeks and was really impressed by them. Back then, my campus was doing formal recruitment every semester, so the second semester, I went through formal recruitment.

I can't imagine what my life would be like without having found Alpha Gamma Delta. It is such a big part of my life, even now and though I have to juggle it now with kid activities and work, I expect it will be my primary focus after my kids are in college and into retirement. The women I have met and befriended through Alpha Gam are some of the most impressive women I've ever known. They have a dedication and spirit to the organization and to each other unlike anything I have ever experienced elsewhere. Being involved as a volunteer at this level has allowed me to meet all kinds of sisters from all over the country and Canada who I really truly can call sisters. Being in a position now where I have some input into the future of the organization is such an honor and is so humbling as well. Joining Alpha Gamma Delta is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
