Their generosity, dedication, leadership and service continue to make a positive impact on our Sorority. Alpha Sigma Alpha’s success is strengthened by our amazing volunteers and their countless hours of service. Thank you to our volunteers!

THANK YOU, Volunteers

Members were asked to highlight Alpha Sigma Alpha volunteers who have gone above and beyond in their roles. Read about some of the positive impacts that these volunteers have had on our members:

Theta Lamda, Membership Commitment Advisor

“Kaitlyn Leedy Kaitlyn Leedy is the advisor for the Theta Lambda Chapter. She has stepped up significantly within the chapter by dedicating all of her free time to Theta Lambda. She helped facilitate the on-boarding of other advisors who did not have the experience of being a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. She also stepped up and provided clarity and guidance during an unplanned transition of the president stepping down and not returning to campus. She has and continues to support the chapter in all of its functions and acts as the go-to advisor for any issues there may be, regardless of the position. She dedicates herself to the chapter fully despite working full-time and recently having a baby. Kaitlyn Leedy is Theta Lambda’s backbone of support and she inspires me to do better in my own volunteer position!”

– Maggie McBride, Theta Lambda, Recruitment Leader for Region 12 Recruitment Leader, Region 1

“Sami Mosher has made such a huge impact on

Sami Mosher the women of Iota Eta. She has been there for us every step of the way this semester through navigating virtual recruitment. She always makes herself available to us if we need anything or have questions. She came to our recruitment meetings and offered us helpful insights. Sami is a genuine and friendly human being. We can feel her love and support in Arizona even though we are physically far away. She makes us feel like we matter and that she believes in us. During this time that is really what we

have needed.” – Sarah Malkin, Iota Eta Finance Leader, Region 5

“Alex went above and beyond in so many ways to help

Alex Deaton our chapter. When we got put on a FOCUS plan, we felt so lost and didn’t know what to do. There were so many changes that were completely new to us and Alex was there every step of the way. I truly believe our chapter got to where we are now because of Alex. Anytime we had questions or just needed some advice she was on the phone in a second. She helped rebuild our chapter and our sisters into the amazing chapter we are today. A year after working with Alex, our president won President of the Year at our university. To this day we still keep in touch with her and she continues to be there for us and help better our chapter. She believed in us and saw hope even when we didn’t ourselves. The work she did and the hand she offered will never be forgotten!”–

THANK YOU, Volunteers

Phi Phi, Chapter Advisor

“Ashlee Hendrix is the depiction of a woman Ashlee Hendrix of poise and purpose. She is a Phi Phi alumna, was previously our membership commitment advisor, and is now our chapter advisor. She goes to almost every single chapter meeting and event, and has been a breakout session speaker at The Academy. She is in constant contact with our region volunteers and does a phenomenal job at communicating and collaborating with them. She has dedicated so much time to not only the national organization, but to our specific chapter. She is a mother figure to all of us, being one of the best (if not THE best) role models here in Maryville, MO. She is even running for City Council next year! We are so lucky to have her representing us in town.”

– Annie Punt, Phi Phi

Epsilon Kappa, Chapter Advisor

“Paula has always gone above and beyond for our Paula Foreman chapter, and everything that she does is more than appreciated. She is the most selfless woman that I know and her dedication as a woman of poise and purpose is unmatched. Paula is the glue that keeps our chapter together and makes sure that we keep moving! During the pandemic, I have been in constant contact with Paula as I am our service & giving chairman. She has given so many valuable ideas of how to keep up with hours and our time we put into the philanthropies. With our yearly scrapbooking events, Paula loves to help with the set up and everyone always wants to talk to her. I think Paula is an amazing volunteer and she never stops helping to make us better every day!”– Shannon

Widmann, Epsilon Kappa, Collegiate Service & Giving Chairman Recruitment Revitalization Volunteer

“After completing her year as a leadership Kathleen Wilhite consultant, she has provided support to the Iota Epsilon Chapter. She leaves work early on Tuesdays in order to be present at chapter meetings. She maintains contact with the women who are on status and checks in on them. Kathleen makes sure they are doing okay and provides any support she can.”– Rose

Gilliard, Iota Epsilon

Zeta Kappa, Recruitment Advisor

“Marinda is the recruitment advisor for Zeta Miranda Phandanouvong Kappa Chapter. I have seen her help the chapter out whenever they ask, including answering messages and phone calls, supporting and encouraging them when the chapter has struggled with recruitment. Miranda constantly strives to do her very best. She has gone above and beyond helping support the members this semester with COVID and how it affected them on campus."
