@ALPHAGAMMADELTA ALPHAGAMIHQ

Dear Sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, New—a word that brings with it a sense of excitement and images of a fresh start. As the calendar turns over another year, those feelings are pervasive across our organization. New collegiate officer teams are in place, a new Executive Director is at the helm at International Headquarters and new possibilities for how we support our sisters and govern our organization are emerging. This new synergy could not come at a better time. In many circles, there is a growing sentiment on college campuses that if fraternity/sorority life would cease to exist, most problems would be solved. A number of collegiate sisters and advisors have experienced first-hand what it is like to be on a campus that suddenly calls for a moratorium on activities sponsored by Greek-letter organizations, often as a response to a significant tragedy or event related to alcohol use, hazing or assault. The most extreme example of fraternity/sorority life under attack, however, is at Harvard University. Policies were put into place to essentially blacklist sorority members from scholarships, participation in sports teams and leadership opportunities on campus and upon graduation. Though we don’t have a chapter at Harvard, the effect of these actions could be devastating to all women’s groups. In the era of social media being viewed as global news, what happens at one institution has the potential to impact another, and another and another. In December, two lawsuits were filed against Harvard—and Alpha Gamma Delta, along with all 25 other National Panhellenic Conference organizations, began a coordinated effort to fight for the opportunities protected by both Title IX and the First Amendment. Take a few minutes to educate yourself about this effort by clicking  here. Women’s sororities and fraternities were created, in part, because of a negative climate for women. Our Founders sought a place for women to support and encourage each other, to reach for more and to be the best they could be. Imagine living in 1904 for a moment. Women were not yet

legally allowed to vote, and many men were less than thrilled when women were finally permitted to attend college. While there were eight other women’s groups already established on Syracuse University’s campus, our Founders wanted a different support system for like-minded women that spanned to multiple college campuses. They envisioned Alpha Gamma Delta. Today, sociological studies prove that our Founders were right: supportive spaces just for women better allow relationships to be nurtured, voices to be developed and challenges to be overcome. As you look through the pages of the Quarterly, I hope you read it through the lens of how critical and important it is to have spaces just for women—on college campuses and beyond—that allow for leadership development, mentoring, camaraderie and support. The spirit of sisterhood, rooted in love, is what sets us apart from being “just another club.” From scholarship winners, leadership development opportunities through the Academies for Collegiate Officers to the physical spaces created by our Fraternity Housing Corporation, Week of Service activities and alumnae events, our actions support our vision to Inspire the Woman. Impact the World. When we focus on strengthening relationships with our sisters, we strengthen our entire organization. By celebrating and building up one another, we each help make Alpha Gamma Delta an organization that will last indefinitely.

CORRECTION We erroneously listed Jordan Crain, Zeta Chi–University of Western Ontario, in Chapter Grand, but are pleased to report she is alive and well! We must also admit to having egg on our face over the incorrect listing of Beta Beta as rival school University of North Dakota. We heard you loud and clear, Beta Beta initiates—and we know you are all proud alumnae of North Dakota State University.

INBOX I wanted to reach out to tell you how I am impressed by the Fall 2018 issue of the Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly. For years, I’ve skimmed through the Quarterly when it arrived and felt completely out of touch with the messaging from the Fraternity. In my opinion, the Fraternity wasn't addressing the challenges women face as they pursue graduate study, careers and motherhood. It seemed like the Quarterly and the Fraternity were 20 or 30 years behind the times. Then last week, I saw the "Boss Lady" cover for Fall 2018 and ended up reading the whole issue. The title intrigued me because I am a founding member of a Michigan-based non-profit organization that encourages women to educate themselves on social issues and politics, to voice their opinions and to vote and to run for office. I thought you did a great job of illustrating how women in many different fields found their way to success and how you have to keep learning new skills and be open to new ideas. I still think today's fraternities and sororities still have a lot of work to do to increase racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, but I am pleased to see the Quarterly is striving to include positive workplace role models for collegiate and alumnae members alike.

Alpha Gams of all generations made their voices heard on U.S. Election Day, November 6, 2018. In many aspects, it was a record-setting year. More women ran for and were elected to Congress than ever before and, with nearly 39 million early voters, voter turnout surpassed the total turnout for both the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections. 3

They regrouped Saturday for Brats and Beverages at Badgerville near Camp Randall, enjoyed the sounds of the UW Band, took photos with Bucky Badger and met Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne. After the Badgers won 49-10 under blizzard conditions, sisters gathered in the Wisconsin Idea room at Union South where they were challenged to see if they could get into Initiation Order. Past Chapter President Gail McCarthy Turluck led them in Ritual for the first time in 31 years and there was not a dry eye in the room. Sisters closed the weekend with brunch at the Weary Traveler Freehouse. The group agreed to donate the remaining reunion fund, profits for unused football game tickets and other donations to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, totaling $595 to further the Foundation’s mission of supporting our sisters.

After more than two years of planning and building, the Gamma Beta Chapter has a brand-new home.

Fraternity Housing Corporation From recruitment and Initiation to Parents Weekend and a grilled cheese philanthropy event, the fall was filled with new traditions inside the most beautiful and functional sorority house at Florida State University. Gamma Beta became part of the FSU Seminole family when the chapter was installed in 1925. The first chapter home was a small one-room, white cottage on campus. After several moves, the chapter built a custom house at their present location of 517 West Park Avenue in Tallahassee. To keep up with the growth of their university and chapter, an addition was added in 1952 and a partial remodel of the first floor was completed in 1970. Nearly 50 years later, making the chapter house competitive for a new generation of members became a priority for collegians and alumnae. The opportunity to live in a completely new home came to life after the chapter joined the Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity Housing Corporation in 2015. Soon

Gamma Beta alumna member. “Upon entering for the first time, I felt chills, tears and a sense of pride in the legacy my chapter has left on campus.” Situated between elegant arched doorways on each side of the grand staircase sits the dining room with three round, glittering chandeliers, custom dining room chairs to seat 182 and the Alpha Gamma Delta Armorial Bearings colorfully emblazoned on the wall. Beyond the dining room are three private, individual study spaces and a large, comfortable study room. Other unique features of the home include a workout room, spa-like bathrooms, underground parking, a screened-in back porch, individual study rooms, a second-floor chapter room to seat 250, a second-floor laundry room and state-of-the-art fire and security systems. The house was officially dedicated in October 2018 during FSU Homecoming weekend with more than 300 members, alumnae and friends of Gamma Beta

“Upon entering for the first time, I felt chills, tears and a sense of pride in the legacy my chapter has left on campus.” after, the FHC partnered with architecture firm Cunningham & Associates of Columbia, Missouri, and Childers Construction of Tallahassee to complete Gamma Beta’s dream home. With first and second story verandas and ornate balustrades and columns, the home’s front exterior exudes a southern charm that fits in seamlessly among tall tress draped with Spanish moss. Through tall double doors, guests are greeted with a porcelain-tiled, two-story foyer with a domed ceiling, large chandelier and a formal living room that features the FHC's signature red sofas and a one-of-a-kind rose mural. “If you look really hard, you can see parts that resemble the old house, but—as our House Director "Mom Dee" Keck said—‘It feels like home,’ and that's what's most important,” said Coral Bachen, 18

Chapter in attendance. Special guests included Bob Cunningham, Architect; Sam Childers, Vice President of Childers Construction; FSU President John Thrasher and his wife Jean, Mu–Brenau University; former International Council members Ann Loring Eiler, Alpha Xi–University of Maryland and Sheila Kelley Sola; members of the FHC Board of Directors; and Gamma Beta alumna Alicia Adams, International Vice President-Finance, who served as Mistress of Ceremonies. “It was an honor and privilege to serve as emcee for the Alpha Gamma Delta house dedication at Florida State University!”, said Alicia Adams. “As an alumna member of the Gamma Beta Chapter, I was in tears during the song ‘Feels Like Home.’ As a collegiate member, this 30,000 square foot mansion was only in our dreams —and now, thanks to the FHC, it’s a reality!”

The informal living room, located on the first floor, features a massive sectional and large television. Tall windows allow for ample light in the space. Alpha Gamma Delta white marquee letters were custom made for FHC chapters.

The second-floor lounge provides a space for members to hang out and watch TV, relax or study. It opens onto the second floor balcony.

Small, private study rooms are located throughout the first floor of the chapter house, and provides quite spaces for women to focus. 19

FSU President John Thrasher and his wife Jean, Mu–Brenau University "throw what they know" at the House Dedication ceremony—much to the delight of the collegians.

The second floor balcony runs the full span of the house and includes lots of seating for members to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather.

Located immediately off the grand foyer, the formal living room features custom lighting and furnishings, as well as French doors that seamlessly transition the room from indoor to outdoor living spaces.

FHC Board President Mary Beth Morabito, International Vice President–Education and FHC Director Catherine Matthews, Gamma Beta Chapter Advisor Sarah Tokumaru Gosselin and Chapter President Megan Ramba cut the ribbon to officially open the house to the public.

Sister Profile Recipe for Success The heritage of the Epperson/Scott women runs deep in Elisabeth Epperson Farris, Gamma Delta–Auburn University. The Alabama native is a proud Auburn Alpha Gam alumna— just like her sisters, Sarah and Jessica. They follow in the footsteps of their mother, Jennifer Scott Epperson, who joined the Gamma Delta Chapter in 1978.

few others. In her junior year, Elisabeth landed her first big break when the editor-at-large of Southern Living reached out to ask her to bake cookies for a feature in the popular lifestyle magazine. Her first national magazine appearance brought her increased publicity and the reassurance that she was pursuing the right path.

Elisabeth also inherited grandmother Eunice Scott’s talent for baking. By age 15, Elisabeth had turned her family’s favorite pastime— baking delicious Southern delicacies—into a successful business. Now 25, the culinary connoisseur has expanded her work to include a successful blog, Elisabeth and Butter, and an Instagram account with nearly 30,000 followers.

In April 2017, with her growing social media presence and increased business, Elisabeth began her blog—an ode to Southern confections and, of course, butter. The blog provided her a way to share her recipes and inspiration in the kitchen. To Elisabeth’s surprise, it also taught her something new about baking: how to translate her recipes for a general audience.

Elisabeth credits her success to her mother, who encouraged her creativity in the kitchen. Nearly every day of Elisabeth’s childhood was spent measuring ingredients and playing sous chef for her mom. By 13, Elisabeth grew serious about turning her hobby into a career and, once again with the full support of her mother, signed up for a cake decorating class at a local art store. Cake decorating led to embellishing sugar cookies and just two years later, Elisabeth was getting paid for her creations. She quit her high school cheerleading squad and skipped school dances to fulfill orders for wedding cakes, cookies and other confections. At a young age, Elisabeth learned the importance of time management and personal responsibility.

“I grew up in the kitchen, and creaming butter and sugar together is second nature to me. I didn’t realize people didn’t know these things!” said Elisabeth, who regularly posts tips and careful instructions to help beginners navigate the intricacies of baking.

“I wasn’t your typical high schooler. Everyone knew me as ‘the baker,’” she said. “I had to miss out on some things, but baking wasn’t work for me. I really loved it. It was the thing that made me happy.” Elisabeth started an Instagram account to share her latest recipes, crafted in between classes for her degree in hospitality management. Her artfully designed cookies, cakes and pastries caught the attention of a

After inspiration strikes, it can take Elisabeth a week or sometimes more before a recipe is posted on the blog. This includes hours of research and testing each recipe at least three times before it makes the cut. Her time management skills are serving her well as she balances blog duties, life as a newlywed and her booming baking business. In between test bakes and blog posts, she also manages to find time to lead private baking classes and contribute recipes for Draper James, Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle brand. For Elisabeth, it’s all a labor of love. “Nothing says I love you like a homemade dessert,” she said. “I enjoy the process and the end product but making people happy is what I love most.” Check out Elisabeth’s latest creations at elisabethandbutter.com and her recipe for carrot cake cupcakes on page 25. 23

SHE said ELISABETH'S BAKING MUST-HAVES

Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer: I don’t think I could survive without it! I have the Pro and use it every single day.

Icing Smoother: It creates perfectly smooth cakes every time and can be found on Amazon.

Ice Cream/Muffin Scoop: I use my scoops for making muffins, cupcakes and so much more. It keeps your cupcakes and muffins clean and equal in size.

Health and Vigor of Body Winter Warm-up While the lure of cozy fleece and a comfy couch may be hard to turn down, it’s important to keep your body from getting too stiff during your next Netflix marathon. Find ways to move that you enjoy—whether it’s a quick exercise video from YouTube in your living room, a brisk walk outside in the crisp air or trying the stretches below. COW FACE POSE (strengthens back and chest) 1. From a kneeling position, cross your right leg over your left just above your knee. Place the top of your right foot on the floor alongside your left ankle. Sit back onto your heels, keeping your thighs together. 2. Place your hands on your right knee and bring your chin to your chest; inhale to sit tall and straight. Relax your face and breathe slowly, allowing your collarbones to broaden and tailbone to drop. Hold for at least 10 rounds of breath. 3. As you inhale, lift your head back to extend the lower neck. Rotate your left shoulder forward as you reach that hand up your back with the palm facing out. On an inhale, reach up with your right arm. Bend your right elbow, drop your right arm down your back and clasp your hands together behind your back. 4. Roll the top of your left shoulder back. Pointing your right elbow at the ceiling and your left elbow toward the floor, gently pull your arms in opposite directions. Drop your tailbone toward the floor and softly squeeze your legs together as if your upper body is floating above the foundation of your legs. Breathe smoothly and hold for at least 5 breaths. Release the pose on an inhale. Switch the cross of your legs and repeat on the other side. THREAD THE NEEDLE (strengthens hips and core) 1. While lying on your back, bend your knees and place the soles of your feet flat down on the mat, about hipdistance apart. Walk your heels in toward your body until you can just graze the heels with the fingertips. 2. Next, cross your left ankle over your right thigh, making sure that your anklebone clears your thigh. Actively flex your front foot by pulling your toes back. 3. Maintaining this alignment, pull your right knee in toward your chest then thread your left arm through the triangle between your legs and clasp your hands around the back of your right leg. If you can hold in front of your shin without lifting your shoulders off the floor or rounding the upper back, do so; otherwise, keep your hands clasped around your hamstring or use a strap. 4. Avoid creating tension in the neck and shoulders as you open the hips by choosing a position that keeps your upper body relaxed. As you draw your right leg in toward you (making sure to aim it toward your right shoulder), simultaneously press your left knee away from you. PIGEON POSE (strengthens hips) 1. Beginning on your hands and knees in Table Pose, bring your right knee between your hands, placing your right ankle near your left wrist. Extend your left leg behind you so your kneecap and the top of your foot rest on the floor. 2. Pressing through your fingertips as you lift your torso away from your thigh, lengthen the front of your body. Release your tailbone back toward your heels as you work on squaring your hips to the front of your mat. 3. Draw down through your front-leg shin, balancing your weight evenly between your right and left hips. Flexing your front foot, press down through the tops of all five toes of the back foot. Gaze downward and hold for up to one minute. 4. To release the pose, tuck your back toes, lift your back knee off the mat and press yourself back into Table Pose. Repeat for the same amount of time on the other side. By Alice White, Gamma Alpha – University of Georgia.

“You may have noticed The Gateway Arch is included on the cover of our meeting's program book,” said Jones to attendees. “The Arch was completed 50 years ago this year, and I’d like to share part of a quote from Vice President Hubert Humphrey as he watched the final part of the Arch be put in place. He called the Arch: ‘a soaring curve in the sky that links the rich heritage of yesterday with the richer future of tomorrow.’ As we begin our business this weekend, let us take some inspiration from the Arch and embrace the rich heritage, traditions and strengths of NPC as we meet together to create our mutual future.” During her state of NPC address, Jones focused on accomplishments in 201718, noting NPC’s work in preserving and advancing the sorority experience on many fronts. She explained NPC was guided by its five strategic priorities and discussed projects such as the creation of think tanks, the “Call for Critical Change,” projects completed to advance Panhellenic operations and NPC’s legislative and advocacy efforts.

2018 NPC Annual Meeting Recap

By Loretta Good, NPC Director of Communication & Marketing

“As we embrace these many opportunities together, it is loud and clear that the state of NPC is strong, but the state of sorority is fragile,” said Jones as she summarized threats to the sorority experience during the past year.

National Panhellenic Conference leadership, volunteers and guests met in St. Louis, Oct. 19-21, for the 2018 NPC Annual Meeting. Guided by the theme “Gateway to Our Future,” attendees had the opportunity to meet, strategize and make bold decisions about how NPC and its member organizations work together to advance the sorority experience.

“… Challenging issues in challenging times, but we have leaned on each other for strength, advice, encouragement and comfort. We have all ‘faced challenges and embraced opportunities together.’ It is my honor to stand before you today as NPC Chairman and I am grateful to serve alongside each of you as we continue this journey together.”

On Friday, the NPC Executive Committee, board of directors, inter/national presidents and executive directors met together to discuss a number of topics, including NPC governance, trends in higher education, recruitment results and the strategic plan. The leadership groups also held individual meetings.

Other meeting highlights included the introduction of local College and Alumnae Panhellenic guests, presentation of the finance report and consideration of NPC legislation.

The annual meeting began in earnest with the Friday night delegation dinner and meeting kick-off. After the meal, attendees shared in a motivational session in which Erin Fischer, owner and CEO of The Leadership and Training Studio, encouraged participants to challenge old ways of thinking and doing and to shine a light on other women.

After the business meeting, new delegation members adjourned to a reception hosted by Jones in the Presidential Suite while others enjoyed a separate evening reception. Attendees began their Saturday at a special meeting of the NPC Board of Directors. During the meeting, the directors voted to increase member organization dues and undergraduate fees. In addition, the directors voted to amend NPC’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Effective July 1, 2019, NPC will transition to a new strategic governance structure with a seven-member board of directors and a 26-member Council of Delegates. In a historic shift, the chairmanship of NPC will no longer rotate through NPC member organizations according to order of admission to the Conference. The Council of Delegates will elect the chairman from the seven board members, two of which will rotate into board service based on the order in which their sororities were admitted to NPC and five of which will be elected by the Council.

The kick-off was followed by the opening business meeting, led by NPC Chairman Carole Jones, Alpha Omicron Pi.

Following the special meeting, attendees participated in educational sessions and spent time with NPC’s partners. Educational session topics included: • An update on government relations from Samantha Martin, Alpha Delta Pi, of Arnold & Porter. • A discussion of risk management and legal issues by Tim Burke of Fraternal Law Partners and Cindy Stellhorn, Kappa Alpha Theta, of MJ Insurance.

Representing Alpha Gam at the 2018 NPC Annual Meeting were NPC Foundation Trustee Benita Wilson Dick, Epsilon Delta–University of Texas at Austin; NPC Delegate Cinda Zehner O'Conner, Beta Xi–Purdue University; NPC Delegate Rie Gerah Hoehner, Epsilon Nu–University of Central Oklahoma; International President Lee Woodham Langub, Gamma Alpha–University of Georgia; Managing Director Lindsay Jarman, Gamma Zeta– University of Memphis; and Patricia Barber, Gamma Alpha–University of Georgia.

• A case study presented by Dr. Kat Gillan, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Director of Fraternity and Sorority life, and Lane McClelland, Delta Delta Delta, Director of the Crossroads Community Center—both of The University of 28

A NEW GOVERNANCE MODEL

Alabama—on how their offices have worked together to implement more inclusive practices during recruitment as well as during the entire sorority experience.

NPC officials announced in late November that their Board of Directors approved revised governing documents that allow for the development of a new organizational and governance structure designed to make the Conference more responsive to the most pressing challenges facing students, campus partners and the greater Panhellenic community.

The closing business meeting on Saturday evening included a memorial service and special presentations from a number of member organizations. One presentation included a humorous, sincere tribute to Patty Gesell, who was retiring from Kappa Kappa Gamma’s NPC delegation after 39 years of volunteer service.

“The challenges facing students on campus today are more complex and require robust engagement from the professionals that serve the Panhellenic community,” said NPC Chairman Carole Jones. “Our ability to lead and effectively partner with our campusbased colleagues demands we equip ourselves as a stronger, more strategic ally,” she added, citing the fight against hazing, alcohol abuse, sexual assault and diversity and inclusion, among other concerns.

At the NPC Foundation dinner, Janet Brown, Alpha Omicron Pi, outgoing president of the NPC Foundation, spoke about the Foundation’s successes during the past few years. She also announced more than $13,500 had been raised for the Spirit Fund through the sunflower sales program. And, 22 member organizations were recognized for 100 percent participation by their delegations for sunflower sales. Attendees also received the Foundation’s annual report. After dinner, training began with a welcome session, an update on Panhellenic extension and regional meetings. Training continued on Sunday morning with an NPC projects update, a discussion of College Panhellenic marketing and an update on the campus concerns process. Attendees then participated in topical sessions, followed by regional meetings and a wrap-up session.

The new governance structure will include: • A Council of Delegates, consisting of one representative from each of NPC’s 26 member organizations and having primary responsibility for Conference membership and Panhellenic policies.

The 2018 NPC annual meeting provided a forum for attendees to discuss important issues impacting the Panhellenic community and for NPC leadership to take bold steps to help the Conference be more proactive in preserving and advancing the sorority experience together now and for the future.

• A new seven-member Board of Directors consisting of five members elected to service by the Council of Delegates and two directors appointed by their member organization (on a rotational basis). The Board of Directors will lead NPC and have authority and responsibility for overseeing the affairs of NPC. They will establish corporate policy, set the strategic direction, oversee and secure resources and monitor organizational performance. The Council of Delegates will also elect the NPC chairman.

NPC looks forward to the year ahead and to hosting the new NPC educational conference, Oct. 3-5, 2019, in Memphis, Tennessee.

“While today's sorority experience remains popular and impactful, we must

The first Board of Directors to be established under the new bylaws will be appointed and elected by the Council of Delegates in May 2019 and will assume office on July 1. The new NPC chairman will be elected by the Council from the seven members who comprise the Board of Directors.

continue to embrace critical changes to strengthen the health and safety of our communities. Alpha Gamma Delta

“The Panhellenic community is increasingly looking to us as a resource and a convener,” said NPC Executive Director Dani Weatherford. “The ‘Call for Critical Change’ launched earlier this year exemplifies the type of work we must undertake. And our new organizational structure reflects our desire to further expand our capacity to serve such a role, and to do so in partnership with campus officials and other like-minded individuals and organizations who share our values.”

supports partnerships with campus and fraternal administrators that elevate the sorority experience based on the values set forth by our founding members.”

The new structure is also intended to ensure that greater resources and staff-level engagement can be brought to bear on priorities ranging from recruitment and membership growth, enhanced data collection and communications efforts advocating for the sorority experience. The NPC professional staff will continue to accomplish their work alongside the organization’s volunteers.

Pearls of Wisdom You Didn't Need Those Resolutions Anyway Another holiday hustle and bustle has come to an end which means the making and breaking of resolutions is in full swing. We set New Year’s Resolutions with the greatest of intentions—but the fact of the matter is, 35 percent of people have already broken their resolution by the end of January. Come the end of February, the percentage increases to 80 percent. So, if you already found yourself breaking them— don't worry! You are not alone, and you didn’t need those resolutions anyway.

BE PRESENT.

Social media is a great way to connect with long lost friends and family members, but—if we aren’t careful—we often find ourselves stuck in zombie mode scrolling through Facebook as time flies by. If you find yourself spending more time on your phone living vicariously through others’ Instagram posts than living your own life, take a day or two to unplug and refresh. Focus on the where you are and who you are with during the moment.

BE POSITIVE. The worst part about setting resolutions is the feeling after inevitably breaking them. Instead of setting multiple goals with the rationale that you won’t be happy until they are met, walk into the New Year with a positive mindset. Be prepared for whatever may come your way, rain or shine, and choose to find the positive throughout it all.

BE PURPOSEFUL. As a member of Alpha Gam, you are challenged to Live with Purpose. Be more intentional in this challenge this year. Remember, it’s okay to say no. Don’t overload your plate with too many commitments. Surround yourself with people who encourage you to be the best version of yourself—who make it easy to be present and positive. Participate in activities that push you closer towards where you want to be in life. Although you may have nixed your resolutions before they really started, 2019 can still be your year for success, prosperity and happiness. You have the power to chase your dreams and make the most of life. Every day—every second—is a chance to hit the restart button and improve yourself from the last. Don’t let January 1 dictate your goals.

Marguerite Shepard Initiative Showing Initiative Named after one of Alpha Gamma Delta’s most studious Founders, the system was launched a year ago and offers three recognition levels based on chapter GPA. We are pleased to announce the results from the first year. Diamond Academic Honor Society (3.5+ GPA) Marguerite Shepard showed a great commitment to both her academics and Alpha Gam. She graduated magna cum laude and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. She then went on to become Alpha Gam’s first Grand Vice-President and the second Grand President. Her great influence was the inspiration for the Marguerite Shepard Initiative which serves as a guide for Alpha Gamma Delta’s scholastic support for collegiate chapters.
