How does that even work??? I couldn't imagine doing everything in 3 weeks!

We had them in mind when we re-designed the new member period. It's not elegant, but it works. In their case, a lot of the new member education can happen during a new member retreat. They have definitely had assistance from VST and IHQ about how to make it work.

I used to oversee this chapter and they were actually really tiny and in jeopardy 7 or 8 years ago. It's wonderful to see that they've pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and maintained a great growth rate!

They don't do everything in 3 weeks. They do the most essential things and continue their programming after Initiation. With the way the Alpha Gamma Delta Experience is set up now, it is much easier for them to do this since it is geared toward learning throughout the collegiate years, not just while a new member.

Yay Lafayette!
