Why I am SO Proud to be an AlphaGam

[AlphaGammaAngel]

I just have to say how much I love you all so much. No matter how bad my day has been or even if its been a good day even, when I get home and I read the threads and see all this sisterhood, my eyes get teary. I had my doubts last year during my new member period and right after initiation because of somethings that happened, but I have never been prouder to be an Alpha Gam. Just coming here and reading the forum shows me that Alpha Gam was the best home that I could of ever of found. I never thought I would get to call so many wonderful women my sisters. Just seeing how much we all care for each other and how much we are there for each other is amazing. In high school I didn't like females that much, I hung out with mostly guys and a few female friends from childhood. I always saw women as backstabbers who couldn't be trusted. I never thought that I of all people would join a sorority, and now I can say that I dont' know what my life would be like without all of you. I have never found a group of women this caring and this wonderful before. I almost where letters everyday because I'm so proud and I want everyone who knows me to know that I am an Alpha Gam. And I know that I have already written on this thread about how proud I am but I still haven't found any words that express it well enough. If I could do recruitment all over again I wouldn't change one thing. I am so close to so many of my sisters, and I'm starting to get close to a lot of you from other chapters. There is nothing better then this, I can't image anything better then to have all of you as my sisters. I love you all so very much, and I plan on going to the 100 year celebration in Chicago so I can meet a lot of you in person. There are no sisters as sweet, as the sisters of Alpha Gam.

Alpha Beta flourished for many more years until the 70's when Greeks everywhere where having membership problems. Membership dwindled, and sections of the house were rented to other sororities who were unable to keep their chapter houses. In 1973, membership dwindled to 3 women, however, with enthsiastic rushing and alumnae support, especially from Phebe Morse Swineheart, the girls were able to build the chapter back up without ever deactivating. Alpha Beta was the only chapter on campus to be able to do this.
In 1977, Alpha Beta alum Phebe Morse Swinehart was awarded the Circle of Epsilon Pi. Less than 20 women have ever accomplished this.

Our Determination, Loyalty, Pride and Panhellenic Kindness Ya know, stuff like this

I was talking to one of my sisters on AIM the other day and I had an epiphany. I realized for those women who's hearts have the true Alpha Gam spirit, we won't EVER stop recruiting because we want the women who carry on our traditions, hopes, beliefs and our spirit to be the best women we can find. A true Alpha Gam wants to share the specialness that we have found in our sisterhood with other women who will enrich our lives as well as thier own.

Wow. What a way to start the new year.
