Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly • Fall 2019

While we celebrate the differences in all Alpha Gams, finding the common denominators can help us meet members where they are. From our height and weight noted at birth and scores on standardized tests to the amount of Instagram followers and the place in line we’re assigned at the DMV, it’s easy to feel like life is measured in a series of numbers. However, numbers can allow us to measure and understand a subject much more deeply. The key is to sift through the overwhelming volume of available data and correctly interpret its meaning. Statistical data allows us to identify areas of needed improvement, allot resources and develop relevant, high-quality programming. And, while we would never want to see our members as anything other than the unique individuals they are, the sum of their parts informs us how to better serve our members, stay relevant and keep alumnae involved. It provides a baseline when developing strategies related to recruitment, extension and member retention. “Knowledge-sharing is essential for an organization's progress,” said International President Lee Woodham Langub. “By revealing these findings, the Fraternity hopes to stimulate cultural change, encourage innovation and promote engagement within our membership.”
