VIEWP INT Our sisterhood is like a circle; Alpha Gams from across North America come together to bring friendship and loyalty to our Fraternity. Expanding and enhancing this circle is important as we make improvements among our volunteers, alumnae and collegians. Together, we are nurturing and transforming our Fraternity, while inspiring the woman and impacting the world.

Following the Volunteer Leadership Conference (VLC) in June, I paused to reflect on the special memories of this successful conference. Dedicated Alpha Gam volunteers from across the United States and Canada came together to learn about the new volunteer structure and how to improve themselves as leaders of our Fraternity. I was humbled to have so many of our committed volunteers, staff members, the Foundation and The Leadership Institute attend this historic event. What a great partnership! It is through hard work and perseverance that we can continue to make this structure change a success.

Several new resources have been developed to enhance the volunteer experience and improve service to our membership. The new Fraternity e-mail system, iMail, was 46

launched for VST members to create uniformity and improve efficiency in Fraternity e-mail communication. The Volunteer Service Team Guide was also created as a result of this new structure. Please visit the Fraternity website for province assignments, community maps and areas of the new Volunteer Service Team structure.

Along with the new volunteer structure, progress continues to be made in other areas of the Fraternity. Online collegiate reporting will be available this fall in the Member Services section of the website. The Education Committee is working hard to develop new training resources for our membership and to revamp New Member Education. Be sure to check the website for new resources about diabetes developed by the Philanthropy Committee. Our sisterhood continues to grow with involved and enthusiastic members willing to give service to the Fraternity.

Nurturing our collegiate chapters and expanding our membership is important to our Fraternity. The 2007-2008 Leadership Consultant and Leadership Advisor Team will begin its work in August to positively impact our chapters. To learn more about the Leadership Consultant and Advisor Team, see page 40.

Putting the Pieces Together Striking a Balance in Campus Safety

Confident co-ed or vulnerable child?

Peaceful campus evening or threatening isolation?

Decorated dorm room or future fire hazard?

Each fall, families across the continent pack up a countless number of boxes and help their children off to college. Once the boxes are unpacked and collegiate life begins again, the parents travel back home, hoping that their students’ mental and physical well being are carefully tended to amid classes and busy social schedules.

Meanwhile, the students excitedly return to life on campus, reuniting with old friends, making new ones and embarking on a fresh year, one ripe with possibility and opportunity. Careful scrutiny of their safety and emergency preparedness is likely one of the last thoughts to come to mind.

Considering Campus Safety With more than 14 million undergraduates calling the United States’ colleges and universities home, the concept of campus safety on a grand scale is instantly mindboggling.

College should be a time for young people to spread their wings, to figure out who they are, to make mistakes and to celebrate success. Likewise, campuses should be safe places to do this; comfortable communities ideal for nurturing the dreams and development of the world’s future leaders. A home away from home for young people to exist in lives of carefree independence.

But at the same time, on the other end of the spectrum lies the knowledge that danger in today’s society has become an undeniable fact. And the once idyllic college campus is not immune. Whether the issue is alcohol abuse, sexual assault or fire prevention, it is undeniable that our students should—and must—be sufficiently prepared to deal with real-world threats.

This leaves us juggling two extremes—the ideal that students should be able to live the “greatest years of their lives” as carefree individuals and the reality that danger has infiltrated our lives and our world.

There may be no bigger cheerleader for college life than fraternities and sororities.

The importance of the university experience has been a cornerstone in Alpha Gamma Delta since our founding. The Fraternity cares about its collegiate sisters—all 6,000 of them—so how can we help them stay safe and have fun?

With the topic at the forefront following the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech, we must work together—as students, as parents, as alumnae and most of all, as sisters—to cultivate an attitude of awareness and education when addressing campus safety.

We must equip ourselves with the confidence born from this awareness and education to carry ourselves through life, living neither in a state of fear nor in a state of complacency, but in a state of balance.

With more than 14 million undergraduates calling the United States’ colleges and universities home, the concept of campus safety on a grand scale is instantly mind-boggling.

Defining Our Approach With campus safety concerns ranging from violent acts on campus to fire safety to cyber crime to sexual assault, there is no one tangible solution to resolving every issue.

But according to two Alpha Gam sisters, by perpetuating a philosophy of awareness and education, students can arm themselves with the power they need to confidently take charge of their own safety.

Kelly Walker Addington and Becca Gross Tieder’s mission to keep students safe stems from personal tragedy. A victim of sexual assault as a collegian, Kelly turned to Becca, her Theta Lambda Chapter sister at the University of West Florida, for support and help in her recovery. Inspired to help others through their own experience, Kelly and Becca took their message of empowerment and awareness to the road, traveling to campuses across the country to present their program to students at colleges and universities.

Though their program, “Let’s Talk about IT”, deals predominately with sexual assault, Kelly and Becca acknowledge that their desire for students to take control of their personal safety is a nearly universal approach, whether students are dealing with violence on campus, fire prevention, cyber-safety or nearly any other safety concern.

“Basic safety and awareness is basic safety and awareness,” Becca comments. “The things that you would do to address all of those things are still pretty much the same.

The benefit is that you get great results that reduce sexual violence, your house doesn’t catch on fire, you can avoid a lot of those issues.”

Kelly agrees. “I think a lot of it has to do with confidence, and you can’t have the confidence unless you’re aware. A big part of it is education and being aware of your surroundings, being aware of your resources,” she adds. “If you have those things and you have conversations with your sisters and your friends and even your family about what your boundaries are, then you are more likely to have yourself in a safe environment. If you’re not in a safe environment, you know what to do to get there or you’re able to react.”

“Education is the key to balance in the collegiate life.

When our women are equipped with the knowledge and skills to rely on their senses, especially in the social setting, they will have a fun, safe college experience,” Amanda Wrede, Upsilon–University of Oklahoma

Amanda Wrede, Upsilon–University of Oklahoma, shares a similar perspective drawn from her professional experience as the Greek Advisor and First Year Experience Coordinator at Oklahoma City University. “Education is the key to balance in the collegiate life. When our women are equipped with the knowledge and skills to rely on their senses, especially in the social setting, they will have a fun, safe college experience,” she says.

The Big Picture As the Executive Director of Security on Campus, Inc., a national non-profit grass roots organization dedicated to safe campuses for college and university students, Catherine Bath sees the big picture of campus safety issues on a daily basis. “Campus safety is our thing, and our mission is safer campuses for students,” she says.

Much like Kelly and Becca’s program, Security on Campus was born out of personal heartbreak. “I work for Connie and Howard Clery, whose daughter Jeanne was raped and murdered at Lehigh University in 1986,” Catherine says. “And by 1987 they had started Security on Campus to raise awareness to the fact that most colleges at that time, a mere 20 years ago, did not report crime properly. This work completely grew out of the Clerys trying to keep this from happening to someone else.”

A similar mission brought Catherine to Security on Campus seven years ago. “I, myself, lost my son to a binge drinking-related incident at Duke University in 1999.

At that point, you either kind of give up on life or become an advocate; it’s one of the paths you take after experiencing a personal tragedy like that.”

A major focus of Connie and Howard Clery’s initial efforts was the passage of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, a landmark federal law that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. Passed in 1990 and originally known as the Campus Security Act, the “Clery Act” also stipulates that these institutions provide information on security policies as well. Current students, prospective students and staff are to be notified of the availability of this information and are to be given it upon request.

Since the passage of the Clery Act, Security on Campus has been integral in the passage of other legislation concerning campus safety and has amassed a wide range of resources and programs to be used by students, parents and schools. The organization’s website—www.securityoncampus.org—also includes links to a federal database where crime reporting information for specific institutions can be accessed.

Catherine has a similar opinion on the importance of awareness and education. “I think awareness is the key,” she says. “Just be aware that there are smart things that you can do in certain situations, whether it’s fire, whether it’s floods, whether it’s how you socialize, there are things you can do that are safer and there are things that you can do that put you more at risk.”

Cultivating Awareness Safety concerns range widely in their nature and scope, so naturally, our efforts to make campuses safer must too. No one approach fits; rather it is likely a combination of efforts—undertaken both collectively and as individuals—that will probably produce the desired result—a safer environment for students.

Just as campus officials are working to make universities safer, our Alpha Gam collegians can proactively empower themselves to enhance the safety of their sisters and their campus communities.

“Alpha Gam is a wonderful sisterhood. And it’s a resource. And we have a commitment to educate our members and I think that’s important,” Becca comments. “We can’t protect our members from everything that happens in the world, but what we can do is arm them with the tools to oftentime prevent things and to provide support when something does happen.”

Agents of Change “When we go and talk to Greek organizations specifically, we tell them, ‘You are a powerful force,’” Kelly says. “The students on every campus are the ones who make the decisions about campus safety policies.”

Char Labay Kopchick, Alpha Sigma–Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Director of Health Education and Wellness at Ohio University, agrees. “Our Greek communities and chapters can really play an important role on campus and in the lives of our students.”

Char works closely with Ohio University’s GAMMA program, which assists the Greek community in proactive and progressive programming regarding alcohol use and sexual assault. The program also aids in implementing risk management programs and harm reduction strategies. In her work with GAMMA, she has recognized that the feedback and opinions from students has often been the most important factor in developing relevant programming.

“When programs are being developed, I think what you need to do is use focus groups to see where the students are coming from,” she says. “To see what works for them.

They need to be involved.”

Likewise, if a college or university is offering a program that is outdated or ineffective, students can step up to help rework or reposition the program so that it actually makes a difference.

“Some of the resources on campus may have been developed in 1980 and have never been changed because no one speaks up about it. If you have a poster of people wearing legwarmers running across campus, that’s not really applicable to 2007,” says Kelly.

“But if the students speak up and say, ‘Hey, we want something that we will really pay attention to,’ then it’s up to those students to really be the driving force in that.”

September is National Campus Safety Awareness Month Passed unanimously through both houses of Congress in 2005, September marks National Campus Safety Awareness Month. “A lot of schools are doing good awareness programming for their students, but a lot of schools could be doing even better, so we’re basically just bringing attention to that,” says Catherine Bath, Executive Director of Security on Campus, Inc., a national non-profit grass roots organization dedicated to safe campuses for college and university students.

This September, take time out to review campus and university safety policies and procedures, evaluate your chapter’s own safety programming and disaster plan and talk to your sisters about how you can work to keep yourselves and all students safer.

For the second year, Security on Campus will offer programming for National Campus Safety Awareness Month. For more information and to access resources for National Campus S a f e t y Aw a r e n e s s M o n t h , v i s i t www.campussafetymonth.com

Education in our Chapters Many sisters cite the desire to find a “home away from home” as a key factor in their decision to join Alpha Gamma Delta. Indeed, our sisters find themselves with lifelong friends and unforgettable experiences. But this “home away from home” also provides our sisters with a sense of protection, both by providing support and outreach and by providing opportunities for education and development.

“For 103 years the Fraternity has empowered women,” says Amanda. “Maintaining education and development of our membership is vital to the success of our sisters as collegians, but also as maturing citizens.”

“We can’t protect our members from everything that happens in the world, but what we can do is arm them with the tools to often time prevent things and to provide support when something does happen.”

—Becca Gross Tieder, Theta Lambda– University of West Florida

From Fraternity produced educational programming concerning hazing or alcohol abuse to local speakers or demonstrations of self defense techniques, Greek life brings our members a smaller community in which to develop their senses of awareness and preparedness.

Two key factors in chapter programming are risk reduction and a proactive approach, according to Char. “The approach I think all of our chapters can be working on is doing a lot of proactive programming. How do you reduce the risk of something happening to you?” she says. “You can do everything right and still have something happen. We want to be proactive and empower people with risk reduction.”

With the creation of the Fraternity’s Education Committee comes an increased focus on education in Alpha Gamma Delta’s collegiate chapters. This includes educational programming that would address campus safety concerns.

“The Education Committee’s focus is to make educational programming readily available and accessible to our collegiate chapters. Whether the programming comes from within the Fraternity’s own programs or from resources provided by professional organizations such as The Leadership Institute, we are striving to make this information known to our members,” comments Jenifer Boyer Pope, Director of Education and the Fraternity’s International Headquarters. “We encourage our collegiate women to use programs that have success records and that will work for our individual chapters on their own, unique campuses.”

Through this focus, individual chapters are empowered to choose the programming that will benefit their specific campus environment and concerns. Collegiate sisters are also encouraged to take advantage of opportunities for educational programming on a local level, like inviting campus safety officials to chapter meetings to discuss university safety programming or working with other Greek organizations to bring self-defense training or nationally-recognized speakers to campus.

Being Prepared Whether in the case of inclement weather, a campus incident or a local or regional issue, having chapter-specific procedures in place can help members stay safer and feel more confident in the event of an emergency. A plan based at the chapter level can also complement the university’s plan and offer a greater ability to monitor the status of individual members due to the smaller scope of the collegiate chapter.

“I see chapters asking, ‘What is the emergency plan,’ more specifically, ‘What is the Alpha Gam plan?’” Amanda comments. “As a Fraternity, it should be a common conversation that is held in the chapter—the ‘what if’ conversation. It is vital that

we teach our members how to rely on their senses and what to do when their senses tell them something is wrong.”

Lisa Benjamin, Theta Zeta–Randolph-Macon College, understands the importance of this kind of preparation first-hand. As the Chapter Advisor for Theta Chi Chapter at Virginia Tech, April 16, 2007 proved to be a day she will never forget. Thankfully, no Alpha Gam sisters were harmed in the massacre that resulted in the loss of 32 innocent lives, but just like the rest of the campus community, these sisters will undeniably be forever impacted by the tragedy.

“Our response on April 16th made us acutely aware of how vital it is to maintain and distribute an accurate and up-to-date contact list and chapter phonebook, to create phone trees, to use technology, to be persistent in calling until everyone is accounted for and to not hesitate in acting,” she says. “Knowing how and why the Fraternity cares about their safety is definitely a point worth revisiting with our collegians. They are fortunate to have this extended family caring about them more than a student who may not be as involved.”

Our Own Stories As a sisterhood, one of the greatest things we can do together is share. Share our moments of triumph. Share our laughter and happiness. Share our lives with our sisters.

We can also share our stories that don’t have happy endings. Stories of tragedy, stories of loss. We can share these stories not to frighten, but to remember. To learn.

And to help us better understand how we can prevent tragedy from befalling any more of our sisters.

We can share the stories of countless Alpha Gams whose lives, and those of their families and friends, have been impacted by tragedy.

“I think awareness is the key. Just be aware that there are smart things that you can do in certain situations… and there are things that you can do that put you more at risk.”

—Catherine Bath, Executive Director of Security on Campus, Inc.

We can share the story of Virginia Tech and how the campus community and our Alpha Gam sisters joined together to heal and recover after incomprehensible violence.

We can share the story of three Alpha Gam sisters from Zeta Chapter at Ohio University—Andrea Kali Dennis, Erin DeMarco and Christine Wilson—who died in a house fire at The Ohio State University while visiting friends.

“One of the most important things we can encourage people to do is to tell their stories. A lot of us have stories that we don’t think that it’s okay to tell. But when Kelly and I came to the University of West Florida, as heartbreaking as it is, an Alpha Gam was murdered on our campus,” says Becca, who tells the story of Alpha Gamma Delta Susan Morris, who in 1993 was sexually assaulted and beaten to death when walking to her car on the University of West Florida campus.

“I never had the opportunity to know Susan Morris, but I know her story. The important thing is my chapter sisters told her story and they made us mindful of it…

Her story is still alive. Her story is still being told so that it hopefully doesn’t happen again to somebody else.”

“We are the Hokies! We will prevail!”

On April 16, 2007, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University became the scene of the deadliest shooting rampage in modern United States history. Lisa Benjamin, Theta Zeta–Randolph-Macon College and Chapter Advisor to the Theta Chi Chapter at Virginia Tech, was one of the members who swung into action to ensure the safety of the Alpha Gam sisters on campus. The following is her account of the day.

On April 16th, I was at work at Radford University, 15 minutes away from Virginia Tech. I received an instant message followed by a phone call from the Chapter President.

She explained that through university communication she had learned that a student had been shot in West Ambler Johnston (AJ). I was reminded that we had a few new members living in that residence hall. I immediately turned on the television in our office and asked her to call me back as soon as contact was made with the those women.

Jenny Hill Orzolek (Alpha Omicron–West Virginia Wesleyan College), our Member Development Advisor, works at Virginia Tech and was in her office as everything was unfolding. Her office is located just a few feet from Norris Hall. As I placed my next call to Jenny, she was witnessing EMS response to the escalating event. Between Jenny’s observations, the news reports and calls from the collegians, we were quickly piecing together what was going on.

While we were still making calls to the three residents of West AJ, the Chapter President and I put in place a plan of action to account for everyone, as it was clear that the incident was not isolated in the residence hall, as we had previously hoped. I asked her if she had a copy of the most recent chapter phonebook.

We compared our lists and they matched. I then asked her to call all of the seniors and call me back with a report.

From there I debated about how to break up contacts for the remaining members. Knowing that I needed to act quickly, I started with the first woman in the phone book list with junior class standing. I asked her to call approximately 10 women and call me back once she had attempted contact with each of those women. I then tried to call the next woman after those 10 to ask her to call 10 more women and so on. As I heard back from each member, I kept track of who we had made verbal contact with and who we still needed to call until we heard their voices.

As probably can be understood, cell phone reception was splotchy. Jenny suggested sending out an e-mail to explain to any women who were not receiving our calls that we 8

were trying to get in touch with each member and new member. In this e-mail we asked the members and new members to respond to let us know where they were and how they were doing. Many were in class and were able to respond to e-mail, but could not receive phone calls or call out. A few sent text messages to let us know they were okay. This combined approach: phone calls, e-mails, IMs and Theta Chi Chapter members smile with International President Jackie texts, worked phenomenally Brannon Stutts and the chapter’s New Chapter Development Specialist well.

Stephannie Sack Bailey. Jackie and Stephannie visited the chapter after the April tragedy to support the sisters and the campus.

With three remaining women unaccounted for, we sent out another an e-mail across the chapter listserve, asking the women not to panic, but to let us know if they had heard from or seen those women.

We quickly received confirmation directly from one woman and someone else explained another woman was okay but her phone was not working.

By noon, we were in search of one new member. If there was ever a time to know your sisters, including new members, it was then! Many women of the chapter knew that Amanda Blakeney was a member of ResVTcue, Virginia Tech’s EMS squad.

Deductive reasoning left us hoping and praying Amanda was assisting with rescue efforts. One chapter member contacted me that afternoon and said that Amanda’s Facebook account indicated that she had recently logged on.

We were relieved at about 5 p.m. when we received an e-mail and a call from Amanda reassuring us that she had been with ResVTcue. Later she tearfully told us in person that she was so sorry for worrying everyone and that the thought had not crossed her mind that her Alpha Gam sisters would be so concerned about her whereabouts. We assured her that this is what sisterhood about and that we will always care about every member’s health and safety!

As some of the women returned to classes in April, it was difficult—classmates were

missing; professors were shaken and academics, even to those graduating, could not have been further from their minds. Initially, we did have a few women whose families were uncertain about their return to campus to finish the semester. Since the conclusion of the semester, the women have been doing well and are taking the summer to return to some sense of normalcy. They are enjoying time with friends and family members who are happy to have them safe and sound.

The response from Alpha Gams has been stunning. Walking into the foyer of the house each day was powerful. We were flooded with cards, flowers and care packages. As such a new chapter, it is amazing for these women to see what it means to be a member of an international sisterhood. They have known what it means to be Hokies and now they truly share those feelings about being Alpha Gams! Thank you to all who sent messages, encouragement, joined the “Alpha Gamma Delta Supports our Theta Chi Chapter at VT” Facebook group and who are keeping the Virginia Tech community in your thoughts and prayers. Your support is definitely helping us to move forward.

As the fall semester approaches, there will undoubtedly be emotional times. The Hokie mentality right now—“We are the Hokies! We will prevail!”—will surely carry the community forward in their pride and reclamation of their beloved school.

alumnae news

Sisters’ Support Runs Deep the dresses, the women solicited online donations.

Christine Cefalo had an ambitious goal: to complete a marathon before age 30. Thanks to her Alpha Gam sisters and relentless perseverance, Christine achieved that goal. Christine, along with several other Delta Iota Chapter Alpha Gams from California State UniversityChico, participated in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon in San Diego on June 3. The Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon, famous for its on-course entertainment, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

For Christine, running the marathon gave her a sense of accomplishment, while deepening the bond with her Alpha Gam sisters.

“It was really touching to believe in something that is both physical (the race) and emotional (the cause) and to have such good friends and sisters to offer support throughout the process,” Christine said. “Running for a cause helped to remind everyone how fragile life is, and that it needs to be treated as such.”

Christine celebrates crossing the finish line It all started last fall, when some Delta Iota Chapter alumnae were celebrating their 10th anniversary of pledging Alpha Gamma Delta. They were looking for ways to stay connected, and a few members invited others to participate in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon. Besides stay- Janae Allison, a Delta Iota Chapter Alpha Gam who walked the ing connected, they would also raise money for the Leukemia & marathon and trained with Lymphoma Society.

The Alpha Gams used teamwork and creativity to plan a fund-raiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In total, the women raised $7,000; however, they were part of a bigger team, called Team in Training, which raised $12.5 million. The Alpha Gams collected “once worn” bridesmaid dresses and listed them on eBay with a minimum bidding price of $40. In addition to selling

“Most of my best friends are my Alpha Gam sisters,” said Janae. “I honestly can say I don’t know where I would be without them. We are past the point of being friends; we are family. It’s nice to know that even if we live across the country, we are still a priority to each other.”

All 16 Delta Iota Chapter alumnae who participated turned the marathon into a weekend-long event. One woman hosted a barbecue before the race, and Christine hosted a celebration at her house after the race.

Without Alpha Gamma Delta, it is unlikely that these women, who lived together in the chapter house in 1998 and 1999, would still have the strong ties to come together and achieve such a difficult feat.

“We believe that it is the team spirit and strong sisterhood that helped us succeed in this endurance event,” said Christine, who will participate in another marathon with Janae in August. “We wanted [other Alpha Gams] to understand the unity that Alpha Gamma Delta has helped us build, and that 10 years later, we are still a team that works better together than apart.”

missouri E p s i l oEpsilon— n Epsilon Epsilon William Jewell William JewellCollege College This semester, the members of Epsilon Epsilon Chapter have been celebrating sisterhood and philanthropy. Our chapter expanded our sisterhood to three more women who joined in winter. Many philanthropy events occurred on William Jewell’s campus, with Alpha 10

Gamma Delta being a significant contributor. The sisters of the chapter have been active participants in their own philanthropy and the philanthropies of other Greek organizations on campus. Our chapter is sponsoring the annual run for Debbie McElwain, a dear sister who entered Chapter Grand a few years ago. We are also sponsoring Relay for Life and Hoops for Hope in April. Although we have had a busy semester, our members are already planning for Formal Recruitment next semester. The newest sisters are already preparing to become sister-mothers, and many traditions of the chapter are being passed down to them. We hope that next semester we can show the new members of Alpha Gamma Delta that we really are surrounded by sisterhood.

n La m b d a — Epsilon Lambda — Central Missouri State University of Central University Missouri The Epsilon Lambda Chapter has been involved in various sisterhood events, such as two spaghetti dinners, a Halloween social and a social commemorating the hit television show “M.A.S.H.” We also held an alumnae Christmas party. We have had tremendous visibility on campus, including our participation in the University of Central Missouri’s 2006 Homecoming cheer competition, spirit activities and parade. The fall semester was fun, but included studying, earning our chapter first place in grades for the fall

2006 semester. Our chapter also held different fund-raisers, including the University of Central Missouri’s Up Til’ Dawn event, which raised money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Beta Alpha Chapter had an exciting year, welcoming new members after Formal Recruitment and two new members during Continuous Open Recruitment in the fall. Our annual Teeter-Totter Marathon raised $850 for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, and

Omega— University of Akron The ladies of the Omega Chapter have been keeping busy with recruitment, philanthropy, socials and sisterhoods. In January, five of our sisters traveled to The Ohio State University for a weekend of recruiting to help the re-establishment efforts of the chapter. The hard work was recognized, and the Omega Chapter was asked to perform the Initiation Service in April. Our chapter gained new ideas from this trip which were helpful during recruitment in the spring. We filled quota in a week and a half, causing us to cancel the rest of Continuous Open Recruitment. Fundraising for philanthropy was extremely successful, with the chapter raising $8,800 through fund-raising dinners, a day at Cedar Point, Lip Jam and many other events. The women of the chapter contributed to the fundraisers by donating their own time and service. This could not have been accomplished without the dedication of each member in the chapter working together to achieve this goal.

Many socials and sisterhoods were held to build sisterhood.

Our chapter has grown closer over the years and really has become a family. We are proud of our accomplishments and look forward to meeting our goals in the future.

We started the fall semester by participating in Greek Week, which gave us the chance to become closer as sisters. We caught up with our alumnae at a picnic to honor Miami’s Homecoming in October. Continuous Open Recruitment brought us two wonderful women who we initiated in November. We finished the year with our annual semiformal. We started 2007 with Formal Recruitment and celebrated Bid Day with the theme “Alpha Gam…Where everybody knows your name,” and added 12 amazing women to our sisterhood. We celebrated Zeta Iota’s 25th anniversary and International Reunion Day by holding a luncheon that brought many of our alumnae back to Oxford. We enjoyed hearing stories of past events and updating our alumnae on both the changes and growth Zeta Iota Chapter has had over the years.

We graduated 20 seniors in May and wish them the best of luck in the future!

pennsylvania Alpha Omega— Duquesne University Alpha Gamma Delta has become one of the top sororities

on campus with this year’s stellar academic standing and active involvement in numerous activities and philanthropic events. It seems like yesterday that we were selling shoes outside on campus to raise money for juvenile diabetes. In October, our chapter was crowned Greek Week 2007 champions.

In November, we had a potluck dinner with alumnae. In the spring, we welcomed a wonderful class of 24 new members. We were awarded best recruitment on campus. The new members were promptly initiated and the Feast of Roses ceremony followed, which many alumnae attended. February began as we teamed up with the brothers of Sigma Nu and helped them with a service project that raised money for both of our philanthropies.

This event included many members of Greek organizations acquiring sponsors and then jumping into the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh.

With water below freezing and snow on the ground, Sigma Nu and Alpha Gams made local news headlines for this service event. Our chapter had the top grade point average among sororities on campus and many of our sisters were inducted into the Order of Omega.

collegiate news Zeta Beta— Lehigh University Zeta Beta Chapter was as busy as ever in 2005! We started off the school year before classes began by returning to campus a week early to help the freshmen move in. Furthering personal development and community responsibility, we participated in an etiquette dinner with Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity and hosted a series of speakers at the chapter house. We also sponsored a large bowling philanthropy event, Strikes for Tykes, which involved nearly all of the 30 Greek organizations on campus and benefited juvenile diabetes research. We had one sister speak at the Luminaria Memorial Ceremony held September 11, which was very emotional. The sisters are involved in athletics in whatever way they can. We have varsity athletes, feisty intramural sports competitors, and girls volunteering at 5K races during Parents Weekend and the Christmas City Classic.

Continuing the tradition, we again co-sponsored Relay for Life. With sisterhood dinners, ice skating excursions, group Pilates, recruitment and campus activities, our sisters are staying not just active, but proactive. As always, we look for innovative ways to not only maintain our gold status at Lehigh, but set the bar even higher!

women’s grade point average at Belmont for spring and fall 2006, continuing our tradition of excellence in scholarship.

Regarding philanthropy, the women of Theta Tau Chapter have worked hard to give back to the community in various ways.

In April 2006, we sponsored the first annual Twister Tournament for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. In our Trick-orTreat for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation in October, we broke our own record and set the bar even higher for next year! We also volunteered at Vanderbilt’s Diabetes Family Day for the first time in November. Diabetes Family Day was a new event sponsored by Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital and Diabetes Center that aims to educate children with juvenile diabetes and their families about the disease in an entertaining and interactive manner. While the children’s family members attended informational sessions, our volunteers helped out with the children’s activities. We definitely hope to continue participating in future Diabetes Family Days and appreciated the opportunity it provided for us as well as the families we met.

Members also got their families involved with Feast of Roses and a fun barbecue.

Tau — University of Toronto “Hectic” and “fun” are the resounding characteristics of Tau Chapter’s year. We came out on top during Formal Recruitment as the most sought-after chapter on campus and welcomed eight amazing women into our sisterhood. Continuous Open Recruitment added five more new members, allowing us to Delta Beta–Washington State University

surpass our goal for the year.

Several events throughout the year also strengthened our sisterhood. In October, the sisters of Zeta Chi Chapter at the University of Western Ontario came to Toronto and visited Tau Chapter for their sisterhood retreat. In December, our Christmas Dinner, Secret Santa Gift Exchange and Mid-Exam Sisterhood Event were certainly heartwarming and enjoyable.

In addition, Tau Chapter has contributed to the community through our philanthropic efforts. On Halloween, we participated for the second consecutive year in the Trick-or-Eat Program to collect nonperishable items for the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank. Candyland, the dessert night organized by our fall new members, was by far one of our best philanthropy events. Our chapter raised more than $700 for Toronto’s Ronald McDonald House. Our presence in the Greek community at the University of Toronto has been significant over the year, as we have supported fund-raising efforts of other NPC groups on campus. At the end of the 2005-2006 academic year, the campus Panhellenic presented the most awards to Tau Chapter at the Panhellenic Awards Banquet. Overall, our achievements have gone a long way in distinguishing us on many levels.

Sisters Gather for With the transition to the new Volunteer Service Team structure, it has become even more evident that Alpha Gamma Delta is an organization that succeeds only through the many hearts and many hands of its sisters. Working together, the Fraternity’s volunteers are the most integral factor in continuing to promote and build Alpha Gamma Delta.

Recognizing the importance of volunteers, the Fraternity offered its first-ever Volunteer Leadership Conference (VLC). The event, which was held June 28 to June 30 on the campus of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, served as an opportunity to educate and train the Fraternity’s dedicated volunteers.

The goal of the VLC was two-fold—to provide volunteers with job training specific to their positions and to enhance the leadership and management skills of all Alpha Gam volunteers.

To that end, activities during the conference included large-scale sessions involving all attendees as well as smaller break-out sessions that addressed specific topic-oriented training and education.

Despite widespread travel delays due to poor weather across the country, many sisters were able to arrive by Thursday afternoon to attend the kick-off event that evening. The kick-off included a keynote address from Jackie Brannon Stutts, International President, an overview of the new Volunteer Service Team structure from Paula Gallup Little, International Vice President–Alumnae, and introductions of volunteers.

Volunteers were treated to a comprehensive briefing on nearly every facet of Alpha Gamma Delta during a Friday morning orientation event dubbed “Need to Know Info.” Designed to provide volunteers from all backgrounds and positions with the most basic and pertinent information, presenters focused on summarizing their topics and communicating how their topic affected volunteers and the Fraternity as a whole.

Topics covered in the session included the introduction of the new iMail e-mail system for Volunteer Service Team members, updates on the Fraternity’s extension efforts and on Greek happenings in Washington D.C., reports from the various standing committees and the unveiling of a new multimedia campaign undertaken in a partnership by the Fraternity, the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation and The Leadership Institute that explains and promotes the relationships between these three Alpha Gamma Delta entities.

Following the “Need to Know Info” session, volunteers attended meetings focusing on specific job training. This training was designated to provide volunteers with the information and resources necessary for them to fulfill their individual volunteer position responsibilities. After completing their specific job training, volunteers were then given the op-

36 36

Volunteer Leadership Conference portunity to select from sessions covering a variety of Fraternity topics. This supplemental information underscored the need to share information and promote general education of Fraternity issues in order to foster a sense of community under the new VST structure.

An ice cream social closed out the activities for Friday, with sisters enjoying ice cream and sisterhood outside on the main walk of the university’s campus. Volunteers took this time to mingle, plan activities for the remainder of the free evening and meet in small groups to continue their own volunteer work.

All sisters reconvened on Saturday morning for presentations from two renowned public speakers— Ginny Carroll and Dr. Marsha Guenzler Stevens.

Ginny Carroll is chief executive officer of inGiNuity, a consultancy known for its inspirational and creative approach. inGiNuity specializes in services for the non-profit, higher education and fraternal communities. Ginny’s presentation, “The Gift of Sorority,” addressed the concept of “Emotional Intelligence,” or how we relate to others and manage our emotions in any given situation.

Dr. Marsha Guenzler Stevens is the Director of Student Activities and Associate Director of Stamp Student Union and Campus Programs at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she has worked for more than 20 years. With touching and entertaining anecdotes, Dr. Stevens provided volunteers with a better understanding of our collegiate sisters, members of the millennial generation. Following her presentation, Dr. Stevens also facilitated a panel discussion where the 2007-2008 Leadership Consultants candidly answered questions about their generation submitted by attendees.

Saturday afternoon also included “The Leadership Institute on Display,” workshops sponsored

by The Leadership Institute–Women With Purpose, Inc. These workshops exposed participants to the resources and offerings provided by the Leadership Institute in an interactive and entertaining way through the utilization of technology.

The Volunteer Leadership Conference concluded with a rousing game of an Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation-related version of “The Price is Right” and a seated dinner, which was also presented by the Foundation.

Feedback received as of the Quarterly’s press time indicates that the programming and activities proved to be of value to many of the VLC attendees. “We are proud to have been able to offer this special event to our dedicated sisters,” says Jackie. “And we hope that it will help them in carrying out their very important roles as Alpha Gam volunteers.”

The 2006–2007 Alpha Gamma Delta Annual Report

By International President Jackie Brannon Stutts The past year has been one of growth and progression for Alpha Gamma Delta. We have made some great strides forward and have plans in motion to continue this positive momentum.

The key to our success has been our sisterhood—the bond that unites us all.

This unity is the core of a monumental step we have just recently taken on behalf of the Fraternity—the restructuring of the Volunteer Service Team. At the heart of this new structure lies the belief that all of our local groups—chapters, clubs, advisor teams and house associations—should benefit from a supportive and caring community approach, bolstered by well-trained and empowered volunteers.

We have a great deal of trust in our volunteers to care for our communities, to make decisions on behalf of the Fraternity and to further the good name of Alpha Gamma Delta. At the same time, we want to make sure that volunteer positions are manageable, meaningful and, of course, fun!

The new Volunteer Service Team structure was kicked off by an extremely successful Volunteer Leadership Conference, which was held in June at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by so many talented and dedicated sisters. The event proved to be an excellent opportunity for Alpha Gam volunteers to learn, connect and prepare themselves for their volunteer roles. You can read more about the Volunteer Leadership Conference in this issue of the Quarterly.

Now that we have officially moved into the new Volunteer Service Team structure, we are hopeful and excited for the results that we will see Fraternity-wide in the coming weeks, months and years. We should all be proud that this goal, which was first established in the 2003 Strategic Plan, has been realized.

38

Though it might be the most visible at the moment, this Volunteer Service Team structure change is just one area of growth and development in the Fraternity Management focus area of the Strategic Plan.

The Fraternity has committed itself to undertaking a fresh approach to the continual development of our members. The initial focus of this approach will be the creation of a values- and ethicsbased program for our collegiate members. This program will be based on our Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose and will include a revamped New Member Program. The Education Committee, Member Development Specialists and the staff Director of Education have been charged with this task.

Membership growth is another area of focus. In order to perpetuate the legacy of Alpha Gamma Delta, we need to consistently nurture the growth of our membership. To that end, the Fraternity has placed a renewed emphasis on extension—meaning the opening of new collegiate chapters—as well as the re-colonization of resolved chapters. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far: the colonization of Theta Chi Chapter at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the re-establishment of Alpha Lambda Chapter at The Ohio State University and our selection to colonize at Arkansas Tech University, which will take place in Fall 2009.

We are also in the process of developing specific growth and retention goals for individual chapters as well as develop-

fraternity happenings

ing resources to help our chapters reach these goals in order to promote overall membership growth.

The Fraternity continues to develop and utilize technology in order to manage our business and communicate with our members, our volunteers and our chapters, clubs and house associations more effectively. A good number of our handbooks and manuals are now available in the Member Services section of the Fraternity website, with more to be added in the future. All collegiate and alumnae mailings are now distributed electronically.

A new e-mail system for Volunteer Service Team members was unveiled at VLC and implemented on July 1. Online collegiate reporting is a priority for the Fraternity, and we expect that most reports will be available online this fall.

The Fraternity continues to move forward in technological advances.

as a result of the alumnae dues program and our partnership with Affinity Marketing, the approval of a balanced budget, the reprinting and distribution of the Constitution and Standing Rules and new Ritual materials as well as a three percent increase in the number of new members.

The initiatives discussed at the meeting include continuing the Volunteer Service Team structure transition, making online collegiate reporting available, recruiting alumnae volunteers, address-

tion officers. International Council is committed to these initiatives and will put much effort into them as the year progresses.

What do all of our initiatives and goals mean for you, our very important Alpha Gamma Delta sisters? It means that we are intensely focused on increasing the value of membership to our members.

It means that we want everyone to relish the joys of sisterhood, through programming, education, leadership development and opportunities for fun.

We recognize that much effort and hard work will be required to accomplish this goal, but we know that the benefits will stretch across our entire membership—from an 18-year-old new member to an 80year-old alumna. Our unity will guide us in working together to make our dreams reality.

“...we want everyone to relish the joys of sisterhood, through programming,

education, leadership development

During its meeting at International Headquarters in May, International Council reviewed the past year, discussed the accomplishments and developed a list of initiatives to be implemented for the upcoming year. Some of the Fraternity’s accomplishments over the past year include a growth in revenue

and opportunities for fun.”

Alpha Gams Ready to Educate, Enhance, Empower Thirteen Alpha Gams from across the United States and Canada have been selected as Leadership Consultants and Leadership Advisors to help our collegiate chapters reach their full potential. Although these women represent a wide variety of backgrounds and have different assets to bring to the Fraternity, they are united in our Purpose and in their desire for the growth and development of Alpha Gamma Delta.

Leadership Consultants Amanda J. DeFelice, Alpha Omicron–West Virginia Wesleyan College

Bid Day is an exciting time for every new member; however, Amanda’s Bid Day was welcomed with a sweet surprise.

Throughout recruitment, Amanda was determined to be an Alpha Gam. On Bid Day, she received a dozen red and yellow roses from her parents, congratulating her on her decision. Activities in college continued to be a great experience for Amanda, as she graduated cum laude while being President and Vice President Recruitment for her chapter. She is excited to meet more sisters across the United States and Canada.

Stephanie Jane Martin, Beta Beta–North Dakota State University

Stephanie was looking for a way to stay involved with Alpha Gamma Delta after graduation, so she decided to utilize her leadership and organizational skills to help other chapters by becoming a Leadership Consultant. Seeing the look on her dad’s face when he hugged her after college graduation was Stephanie’s biggest accomplishment. Her other accomplishments include membership in Phi Eta Sigma honors fraternity and holding several officer positions in Alpha Gam and the Panhellenic Council. Spending time with family, deer hunting, reading and downhill skiing are several of Stephanie’s hobbies.

Mary Lauren Hughes, Gamma Alpha–University of Georgia

Working with others has always been one of Mary Lauren’s passions. Immediately following her college days, she worked as a child advocate for a domestic violence shelter, which allowed her to have a unique experience and grow as a person. Mary Lauren plans on going to graduate school in the future and is eager to visit universities around the United States and Canada. Her undergraduate achievements prepared her well for her Leadership Consultant position, including dean’s list, Order of Omega and Dance Marathon Morale Committee. Her beagle puppy, Maggie, brings her happiness.

Julianne Miller, Beta Beta–North Dakota State University

Initiation was a special time for Julianne, who was able to share the experience with her mother and sister. Her enthusiasm for Alpha Gamma Delta and its Purpose, as well as advice from a Leadership Consultant visiting her chapter last year, motivated her to become a Leadership Consultant.

In addition to serving as President and several other offices for Beta Beta Chapter, Julianne was NDSU’s Homecoming Queen in 2006 and received several awards and scholarships. She considers walking across the stage at NDSU to receive her diploma as the opening of a new door in her life.

Heather A. Kennedy, Theta Lamba–University of West Florida

Heather’s most memorable college days consisted of fun times with her sisters, such as movie nights, Greek Week practices and stringing 100 pearl necklaces for recruitment. In addition to the fun times she shared with her fellow sisters, she received several honors, including dean’s list, Alpha Gamma Delta Scholastic Achievement Award, membership in Order of Omega and the University of West Florida Legal Studies Department Outstanding Graduate 2007. Becoming a Leadership Consultant is important to Heather because she wants to give back to the Fraternity that gave her so many great collegiate experiences.

40

Amanda Ostgulen, Epsilon Beta–University of Kansas

Amanda knows what it’s like to bond with her Alpha Gam sisters. During their senior year Spring Break, all 23 of Amanda’s pledge sisters went on a cruise to the Bahamas together. Amanda hopes that she can bring her Alpha Gam experience with her as she travels to each chapter, working with them one-on-one to make positive impacts in their chapter and community. Volunteering is very important to Amanda, who not only held several offices at Alpha Gam, but also was a program coordinator for an organization serving children in need.

fraternity happenings Tara Layne Rinks,

Kate Wood,

Gamma Psi–University of North Alabama, Psi–University of Alabama

Being initiated at Gamma Psi Chapter and then later being affiliated at Psi Chapter provided Tara with a diverse, unique Alpha Gam experience. During Hurricane Katrina, Tara and her Psi Chapter sisters bonded over candlelight, playing games and telling ghost stories all night. Although the women were worried during the severe weather and power outages that the hurricane brought, they stayed together and made the most of the situation. Tara views being a Leadership Consultant as an honor and privilege, and she is excited for the opportunity to positively contribute to the lives of Alpha Gams across the United States and Canada.

Alpha Eta–Dalhousie University

Following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, Kate pledged Alpha Gam with confidence and a desire for involvement in the Fraternity. She considers Initiation one of the most wonderful experiences in her life, in addition to receiving her college education. While at Dalhousie, Kate made the dean’s list, was an Alpha Gamma Delta Scholarship Key Recipient and was named Outstanding Sister in 2004 and 2006. She contributed to the Fraternity by holding several offices, including Vice President Campus Relations, Vice President Operations and President.

Leadership Advisors Brittany Adams, B Gamma Alpha–University of Georgia G

W When Brittany realized that out of 35,000 sstudents at the University of Georgia, Alpha Gamma Delta was a place to call A hhome, she knew she would have a posittive college experience. Being involved iin the campus Panhellenic and other eextra-curricular activities also contribuuted to Brittany’s college experiences.

She has served as a Lead Leadership Advisor for the past two years, and as she finishes her last year of law school, she hopes that she can inspire Gamma Iota Chapter at Mercer University in their pursuit of success. Recently, Brittany tried her first criminal case as a prosecutor, and enjoys pursuing a goal that she has worked toward for so long.

Andrea Alyson Cummings, A Theta Iota–Western Kentucky University T

N NASCAR racing and taking care of her tteacup poodle are some of Andrea’s favvorite hobbies.

Uni She believes that you can never set goals too high and every chapter has room for improvement.

Meghan Davis, Zeta Iota–Miami University

Relationships with friends and family are important to Meghan as she achieves her goals and faces challenges throughout her life. She wants to form positive relationships with Alpha Gams as well, and thinks being a Leadership Advisor will help her stay involved in the Fraternity. Being accountable and an effective resource are leadership qualities that Meghan hopes to bring to the Alpha Lambda Chapter at The Ohio State University.

Leah Howell, Alpha Upsilon–Central Michigan University

Having two kidney transplants made Leah a strong, thankful woman. As Leah prepares for her third college degree, she hopes to give Zeta Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan University an appreciation for the Fraternity’s Purpose and help it become a stronger chapter with exceptional leadership skills.

Rachel Messenger, Omega–University of Akron

After being a Leadership Consultant in 2005-2006 and interning for 2006 Convention and 2007 Volunteer Leadership Conference, Rachel still desired to be involved in Alpha Gamma Delta. Being a Leadership Advisor for Beta Delta Chapter at Indiana University is rewarding to Rachel because she gets to see how her suggestions and input improves the chapter overall. Receiving an assistantship position in a graduate program of her choice is one of Rachel’s biggest accomplishments.

Coming Up...

Dear Sister Letters have long been a favorite way to communicate with nearly anyone, from friends to family members to business associates to, of course, sisters. The fall 2007 Quarterly will examine this “lost art,” look back on some of the letters lovingly exchanged between sisters and inspire us to embrace the use of letters in our increasingly technological world.

Driving the Bus

By Rebecca Schenk Thomas,

By Marie Ford Palmer, Sigma–University of Illinois International Vice President–Membership

The photo to the right was taken in 1978. Not surprisingly, I am standing tall in the driver’s seat window.

Driving the bus; I think this an appropriate analogy for Alpha Gamma Delta. When we take control of the recruitment process, we drive the bus.

Each Alpha Gam chapter determines the needs for its membership to ensure the strongest chapter possible. A strong chapter is balanced. A strong chapter identifies women who will enhance the chapter, targets these women and actively recruits them by asking them to become a part of our awesome sisterhood.

Traditionally, less successful chapters are more reactive. They may take new members, without identifying and proactively targeting new members to join. Recruitment in these kinds of chapters is less purposeful.

A strong chapter takes control and drives their bus. It is my goal that all of our chapters take control to become as strong as they possibly can.

As Alpha Gamma Deltas, we are all responsible for our membership. The Fraternity has established a goal of a 10 percent membership increase. All sisters should assist our chapters in achieving this goal.

But specifically, how can you help?

44

1.

Write a Recruitment Information Form (RIF). A RIF should be written for any potential new member (PNM) with whom you are acquainted. This form introduces PNMs to the chapter. It identifies PNMs who possess qualities that would enhance our chapters; those women who have Alpha Gam potential. This helps our chapters take control and drive the recruitment process.

2.

Next, if you are a grandmother, mother or sister of a woman headed to college, a Legacy Introduction Form (LIF) should be sent to the Alpha Gam chapters on the campuses the legacy is considering. This form introduces the legacy to the chapter. The chapter can be aware of when the legacy

is coming for a visit. She can see the campus, the house, dormitory or suite and Alpha Gam activities.

3.

4.

If you live near a chapter, visit the chapter to help. Serve punch or help behind the scenes to support the chapter. Do something! Get other alumnae in your area together to make a fun day of sisterhood.

If you live too far away to visit, send an inspirational note, a bag of Hugs and Kisses candies, flowers, funds— anything that the chapter can use for Spirit/Work Week or Formal Recruitment. Our chapters appreciate and need our support. Every sister can be involved.

5.

Advertise Alpha Gamma Delta in your area. Talk us up! Share alumnae chapter and club events with local newspapers. This helps chapters everyday and translates into great public relations for our chapters everywhere.

All these things help our chapters drive their bus. They help our chapters take control of their membership and ultimately strengthen their individual chapters and the membership of Alpha Gamma Delta as a whole.

Let’s not just be passengers—Let’s drive that bus!
