I am not in VA, however I am an active member of the APH here in Charlotte. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Also, nhfuhlmer (I hope that's spelled correctly) is a member as well. I haven't seen her on the boards lately though.
As to how they work - they are composed of a representative (Panhellenic Delegate - sound familiar
) of each Alumnae group. Generally, you can contact them to find out if they have a rep for your GLO yet, and they should be able to let you know. It runs just like a regular panhellenic council would, except you have more than one campus (we have 2 we support). We have an executive council, and meet once per month. We give a $1500 scholarship to UNC-Charlotte, and we give an $1100 scholarship to Queens University.
In ours, if you are a member as a delegate (meaning, you're the representative from your alum. association), your dues are $40. Generally, these are paid by your alum. association. If you are an individual member, your dues are $8. These amounts are for the whole year - which runs from September to May, just like a school year. We have one girl who is one of like three Phi Sigma Sigma alumnae in the state, so since she does not have an association, she comes by herself, and paid the $8.
Anything else you want to know? Just ask.
