a letter to members At the end of 2017 I closed out one of the most influential chapters of my college career, serving Alpha Gam in leadership roles. Taking on three different roles throughout my time in Alpha Gam contributed greatly to my personal development within the chapter. It allowed me to make deep connections with sisters and shape the chapter. While the year had some ups and downs with the many changes from an IHQ and University level, the 2017 officer team managed to use these changes as opportunity and always made the best of every situation. Looking back at my freshman year, Alpha Gam has grown so much thanks to the amazing women who have lead this chapter since its inception. The chapter truly is what the members make it to be. Upon reflecting on my time in leadership, I have three pieces of advice for our new chapter leaders: -Work together and be inspired by the talents of each member. The chapter is unique because of our members, utilizing this potential will help elevate the chapter. -Take advantage of the opportunities you are presented with. This not only applies to those of you in leadership positions, but also general members. Use your network, think creatively, and maximize the potential of every situation! -Have fun with it! Viewing chapter business as tasks or obligations completely changes your mindset. Enjoy the time you get to spend with your sisters, fully participate, and have a positive attitude. Doing this will positively impact your membership experience. I have so much faith in you all and I cannot wait to see what you accomplish in your terms! Loyally, Libby
thank you to the officers and all our members for a great 2017!

WINTER FORMAL
DECEMBER 7TH, 2017 DAVE & BUSTER'S
Before the long finals week and hectic end of the semester, Alpha Gams had a chance to relieve some stress with our second date function of the year. We took the opportunity to dress up and take pictures with all the holiday staples, spreading cheer. On arrival to Dave & Buster's in Plymouth Meeting, we bonded with our sisters and friends, dancing and playing numerous games. We appreciate all the work that went into this event and cannot wait for the next one!
FINALS
DECEMBER 13-18TH, 2017 VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
Alpha Gamma Delta members value academics and study diligently, especially during Finals Week. Studying with sisters in our classes, recording weekly study hours, and striving for excellence have contributed to our chapter GPA of 3.56, the highest of all Greek letter organizations. Recently, we received an award for Outstanding Scholarship Programming at the Villanova Greek Life Annual Awards.We are thankful for the hard work of our VP of Scholarship, Claire Katchur. Congrats to all our members for the achievement and for finishing finals week!
winter break
Alpha Gams spent winter break exploring places like Aruba, Australia, New York, Israel, and many more. We had a great time taking a break and spending time with friends but are excited to be back together for the second semester!
