Alumnae Travel Program Announces Group Trip to Italy

After polling alumnae interest in group travel opportunities, the Fraternity is excited to announce the new Alumnae Travel Program! We have partnered with EF Go Ahead Tours to bring you an exciting group travel opportunity to experience a food and wine tour through Tuscany and the Italian Riviera. Eating just isn't a part of the daily grind here—it's an art form. Sisters will have the opportunity to stand beside the masters in their kitchens, farms and wineries and learn the ins and outs of the region's delights. This trip will span ten days, with eight nights in Italy and space is limited to 22 attendees. Everyone is invited to attend a virtual information session on Wednesday, May 1 at 8 p.m. ET. Registration for the session is required, ® register here. If you are unable to join on the 1st, a recording will be made available at the link above. Trip dates will be April 26-May 5, 2025.

Pearl Sisters & RIFs Needed for University of Tennessee, Knoxville New Member Class

We cannot wait to officially rejoin the University of Tennessee Panhellenic community this fall. We will be recruiting during the month of September. Do you know anyone who would be a great fit? Complete a Recruitment Information Form by visiting ® https://alphagammadelta.org/rif/. We are also still looking for a few more alumnae interested in serving as Pearl Sisters for the new member class. These new sisters will not have the benefit of having older sisters on campus to serve as their Big Sisters. While living near Knoxville is a bonus, it is not required that you be local to Knoxville to serve as a Pearl Sister. We have had over 120 sisters sign up so far but we would like to have around 200 ready to go before our Bid Day. Interested sisters should fill out this form: https://forms.office. com/r/e6PdvT1Ypw. Staff members will contact you later this summer with further details. Be sure to follow @UTKAlphaGam on Instagram for more chapter updates and extension news.

Send an Empower Participant an Appreciation Rose eCard

In fall 2023, the Fraternity launched its second year of Empower, Alpha Gam’s premier leadership program. Through a cohort-style model, participants engaged in monthly meetings facilitated by accomplished alumnae and Peer Mentors. During their meetings, participants have deepened their knowledge of leadership practices to utilize in their chapters and community, while forging connections with sisters across North America. The program will culminate in late May with the Empower Institute in Bloomington, Indiana. All participants will gather in-person to develop a capstone project and celebrate their year of success. If you would like to send a participating sister a message of encouragement or pride, consider sending an Appreciation Rose eCard! View the list of Empower Institute attendees and send your sister an Appreciation Rose today! Generously funded by the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, the Fraternity is excited to share that applications for Empower 2024-25 will open this summer.
