EagleChick, that is to sad to even hear about.

It just makes me wonder how close the feeling is among the Sisters of your Sorority AST.

You can only try to do what you can do. Maybe meeting one or two will help them to get to know you? Maybe they will find out what a neat person you are!!!!!

-your GLO

Delta Phi Epsilon
Alpha Gamma Chapter

-how long you've been a member

Initiated on November 17, 2000
Graduated/Went Alum on December 17, 2005

-how active an alum you've been

Instantly joined the D Phi E South Florida Alumnae Association (and am now the Miami-Dade County Coordinator), volunteer for the international office as a Membership Development Advisor for 8 chapters in my region, attend all alumnae events hosted by my collegiate chapter, & assist in recruitment (but then again, who doesn’t!).

-why you came to GC

I stumbled upon GC one day as I was searching for Greek merchandise websites in order to purchase items for my little sister... I instantly got HOOKED. I could NOT believe the wealth of information on any and all topics affecting Greeks that I could bring back to my chapter.

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

D Phi E has changed me and will forever be a part of who I am... I strive for D Phi E because I hope that years from now, other women will have the same opportunity to experience and benefit from this organization and sisterhood, as I have.

-anything else you care to share

Just wanted to thank each and every one of you who continue to strive and believe in your organizations… sometimes its tough as an “adult” to find time to give back… I have learned A LOT from ALL of you!

Alpha Omicron Pi
-how long you've been a member
Since 1988
-how active an alum you've been
Pretty active recently, though not so much right after I graduated. I'm currently holding several adviser positions with the local collegiate chapter, and I'm about to run for VP of the local alumnae group.
-why you come to GC
I stumbled over GC this past summer, and I love reading about what the collegiate chapters are doing and what other alum chapters do - I'm getting LOTS of ideas!
-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
Once an AOII, always an AOII. I'm still active for the networking opportunities and the friendships I've made. I also want to show the local chapter that it doesn't end when you graduate.
-anything else you care to share
This story epitomizes why GLOs are a good thing. My grandmother died last fall. For a number of reasons (not the least of which was their age), I could not take my children with me across the country to the funeral. Unfortunately, I do not have any relatives in town (or nearby), and I was going to have to be gone for an entire weekend. I thought I was not going to be able to go at all because I could not find ANYONE willing to help me out among my friends in town. I was relating my dilema to another adviser while we were at the house, and members of the chapter overheard me. Two of them volunteered to take care of my children for me while I was gone - UNASKED, and for the ENTIRE weekend! Because of the kind hearts and the ability of members of my GLO to live our ritual instead of just mouth the words, I was able to go across the country and support my family in a time of sorrow.

BetteDavisEyes · #7 10-04-2005, 11:01 AM

- I am an alum of Sigma Kappa sorority

- I have been a member for 4 years now

- I haven't been too active this year b/c I've got so much else on my plate like buying a new house & getting married in January

- Curiosity at first & then simply meeting members of other GLO's

- I still enjoy spending time with my girls & getting together & having fun.

- I took a chance on joining a GLO b/c I was already 21 & knew that the chances were slim to non-existant. I was lucky that the ladies there took a chance on me & I've never regretted my decision to join. I enjoyed my time in SK as an active & hope that one I move into my new house in January, I'll be an active alum with the particular alumna group in my new city.

-how long you've been a member
Since 2003
-how active an alum you've been
Not as active as I would have liked. I'm a member of the local alumna chapter, but they always have meetings and events when I'm in class (I'm in grad school). I hope that next semester I'll be able to be more active.
-why you come to GC
I came to GC in 2002 when I joined an honor fraternity. I pledged DG a few months later, and haven't been able to leave GC yet

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
I met my very best friends through Delta Gamma. I've always said that DG was one of the 2 best decisions I ever made (the other one is going to Auburn). I think GLOs are such a wonderful experience

-anything else you care to share
I hope I always remain active in Delta Gamma

-how long you've been a member January 12, 1974!

-how active an alum you've been

oh gosh!! I don't have time to be inactive, lol. I'm Chapter Advisor to my initiating chapter, Permanent Secretary to the inactive Alumnae Chapter (means I am supposed to keep track of where people are but that doesn't help if members don't tell you where they are!!) and member of the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter -- which I try to attend events if CA duties don't conflict....also a Alumnae Panhellenic member.

-why you come to GC Because it helps me to learn to be a better CA and Alpha Gamma Delta!

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
As as VST member told me about other alumnae who are not as active...."What part of our initiation vows did we hear that they didn't?" I also agree about the statement that it keeps you feeling young (and sometimes old at the same time.)

-anything else you care to share
Thank you to my sisters that I have met here! You've been a great help and inspiration to me. Some I've already met in person and hope to meet again..with those I haven't, next year at Convention!!

-how long you've been a member
2002-2005

-how active an alum you've been
Ehhh.. not so hot. I just moved to Maryland, I went to school in New Hampshire - so my chapter is far away. However - I do "phone advise" my chapter. They call and chat, or discuss DZ things with me (look for advise, etc) and I call them during their meetings.

-why you come to GC
Its always entertaining, plus I've met some great friends from it

-what you still enjoy about your GLO/why you're active
I adore my sisters and I can't say enough about my experience as a collegian. All amazing. I want to give back to an organization that gave me so much, though I can never repay all of what DZ has given to me.

-anything else you care to share
Like I said, I'm in a new place, so i'm super lonely without my sisters. I've been wanting to get involved with the local Alum chapter, but I coach a fall and winter sport (along with this little extra called teaching? ) and I am planning my wedding (which, NO JOKE, my colors are pink and green - they are just SO fab together!!) So my time is limited.
