-your GLO

Chi Omega-Alpha Delta Chapter @ Indiana State University

-how long you've been a member

Initiated in 1986
Alum status in 1991

-how active an alum you've been

Joined the alum group in Connecticut and became a State Recruit Chairperson for CT. I absolutely loved that job- helping girls from the state with rushing all over the United States. Just moved to Illinois and have not had a chance to get involved yet but want to.

-why you came to GC

Came across GC a long time ago - made great contacts and everyone is so nice and supportive. Been away for awhile but came back to check up on the GLO scene.

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active

Chi Omega was the best thing to ever happen to me until the birth of my son. It taught me to strive to be a selfless giving person and I want other women to feel the love of sisterhood (whether it is with AAA sorority or ZZZ) - I just do not want the traditions of sororities and fraternities to ever die - I can't wait for the day my son, Jack, calls me to tell me he pledged!

-anything else you care to share

Just wanted to say "hi" to all the "old timer" Greek Chatters! Amycat, Carnation, HootieOwl...all of ya!

-your GLO
Alpha Xi Delta - Zeta Omega Chapter - University of West Georgia!

-how long you've been a member
Since November 17, 1997

-how active an alum you've been
I've never stopped. Since the day I graduated I have been in alumnae associations, advising, facilitating, attending Conventions, etc. Now I'm a Chapter Advisor for a great group of young women!

-why you come to GC
Ha! I got started because I was told to by the big dawgs via my Area Facilitator! Not really the phone call I wanted to receive, but now I'm hooked because I learned sooo much!

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
The women from college are my closest and dearest friends and Alpha Xi Delta is how we met. Most important though, my CA was my best friend in college. She was supportive, helpful, uplighting, and honest. I don't think I would have made it without her. If I can repay her kindness to 1 young woman and help her grow into a strong and confident woman, then I will be living up to Kathy's standard.

Pi Beta Phi

Almost 4 years (I joined in my 3rd year of University)

I was a member of AAC and am a new Member of TAAP (Toronto Area Alumnae Panhellenic). Our Toronto alumnae Club is just starting up again and I hope to be active there.

I came to GC just after I initiated to meet more Greeks.

The lasting friendships

PKPILZ003 · #95 02-15-2006, 06:23 PM

MY GLO - I'm a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. I am a Founding Brother of the IL Zeta Colony and Chapter (badge #0003) and I was initiated in 1993.

How long have you been in? that would give me 13 years.

How active an alum have you become? Well, I've been the Chapter Advisor for IL Zeta for the last 6 years (DePaul's Greek Advisor of the Year for 5 out of last 6 years; PKP national Chapter Advisor in 1993) and I started the IL Theta Colony and Chapter at Univ. of IL at Chicago in 1992. I've also been the President of the Chicago Alumni Association; the Alumni Corporation President and a Director; i serve on the University Greek Alumni Roundtable; I hold an appointed position on the Fraternity's Executive Council; I'm a facilitatior for our Leadership Academies and I've attended every Grand Arch Council (national Convention) since I joined the Colony (7 in all)

why am I here - just looked interesting and I've seen some great threads so far.

Why am I still active - because Phi Psi has given me so much and I feel that it's my responsibility to give back 10 fold!

AXi1257 · #96 02-16-2006, 10:58 PM

My GLO - Alpha Xi Delta

How long have you been a member - Pledged fall 1991, alum Spring 1995... so I guess that's 15 years now!

How active - I'm just getting back into it actually. I've helped my chapter - Epsilon- with fall recruitment and I am hoping to be able to help out more and become more involved. There is a new AA in the area that I'm hoping to become involved with also.

Why you come to GC - stumbled on it by accident, lurked for a while and finally signed up. Now I can't keep myself away for long!

I loved being a member of Alpha Xi Delta in college... we were the first sorority on campus in 1903 and I loved that kind of tradition. I love being from Epsilon chapter!

GAMMA PHI BETA!

-how long you've been a member

intitiated: fall 2002, Kappa Chapter, University of Minnesota -- Twin Cities
alumna status: fall 2005

-how active an alum you've been

I'm starting out strong! I've moved back to my hometown of Madison, Wi and have attended my first HCB meeting. I'm trying to resurrect the Alumnae chapter, too!

-why you came to GC

I love the GREEK COMMUNITY!!! And I miss it. And it's so interesting to me to hear about what is happening at schools all over the country.

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active

It's an organization for life. I want to be/am a member forever. I love Gamma Phi and my sisters.

-anything else you care to share

I'm sure this goes for everyone and every GLO. If you are in contact with fellow alumni, TELL THEM TO UPDATE THEIR CONTACT INFO with your (inter)national office. It makes it sooooo much easier for people like myself to contact alums when we have the right info!

Wolfman · #99 02-25-2006, 02:48 PM

GLO:
I'm a Son of Blood and Thunder, i.e., a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Initiated almost 26 years ago May 17.

How active as graduate/alum:
I've been very active on the graduate level for 16 years, having served as chaplain and then basileus(president) of the grad chapter in Pasadena,CA when I was in seminary. Then when I moved back to NC, I became active in the local grad chapter, where I served as Asst. Chaplain, Chair of the Benevolence Committee, member of Community Affairs Committee, worked some with Youth Mentoring program, member of Mardi Gras Formal Committee, Talent Hunt Committee, Urban Ministries Feed the Homeless program and the Back-to-School Youth Fair Committee with the local DST Alumnae chapter. I now serve as chapter chaplain and member of Executive Committee. I'm also a member of the Editorial Board of the Oracle, the official organ of the Fraternity.

Why GC?
GC is an interesting venue for learning and sharing from Greeks from a wide background--I'm an enemy of parochialism. I like intelligent conversation and the broad range of topics and conversations that go on amongst GCers. It's also been forum where I've had a life-changing encounter. I thank God for that!

how long you've been a member: joined fall of 1997, alum since Dec of '01
how active an alum you've been: aft first I just helped out with things like Formal Recruitment, since then I've become an adviser for my chapter. I currently advise the VP Development, Ritualist, Social and Service Chairs. Also I recently became the secretary of the Alum Organization that was established on our campus to provide further support to the Greek Community.
why you come to GC: for ideas and to interact with other alums, I haven't been posting too much yet though
what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active: I firmly believe that you get out of things what you put into them. I got a lot out of my chapter during my college days. I think by contributing back to the chapter I can help women get more out of their experience.

My involvement has changed...
I just volunteered to serve as a Corporation Board member for a chapter here in MI. I also joined their Advisory Board. Looking forward to working with new chapter.
