A Message from the President

I can’t believe the 2015-2016 year is over! We were so proud of our graduating seniors, and we are so excited to see where life takes them. Reflecting on the past semester, I am very proud of how involved our chapter has become on campus. From D1 athletes, to SGA senators and directors, to the Riptide dance team, various honor and leadership societies, and so many volunteer clubs. We are glad to support our women in whatever they are involved in. In February the Alpha Gamma Chapter added 15 new wonderful sisters to our chapter. We have continued to have the reputation as a well rounded sorority, with women from all walks of life. Almost any state and even country we visit, we can find a sister to show us around. We are so fortunate to have a chapter with such diverse geographically located women, who all have the same passion for UA and Delta Zeta. We look forward to another record breaking recruitment and to see what our chapter can accomplish this fall!
- Elaina Engel, Alpha Gamma Chapter President

Philanthropy

This semester we continued our support for our local and national philanthropies through both fundraising and volunteering. Locally, we supported the University of Alabama's Dance Marathon by raising $9,029 and are proud of our sisters who made staff for UADM 2017. Our chapter was once again the top fundraising team at Relay for Life this year as we raised a total of $6,655. Nationally, we participated in Learn 2 Listen Week by spreading speech and hearing awareness around campus and Tuscaloosa and raised an annual total of $16, 874 for speech and hearing.

Throughout the semester, our sisters spent thousands of hours volunteering with Capstone Village, Al's Pals, elementary schools, Best Buddies, Alabama Greek Missions, The Honors College, BamaCru, Kids Club, art festivals, Culverhouse LIFT, Soles 4 Souls, UA Love Your Melon, Women's Resource Center, Project Health, Habitat for Humanity, UADM, benefit runs and marathons, Tuscaloosa Animal Shelter, church groups and much, much more!


Overall, this semester was one for the books and we are so proud of all this chapter has accomplished. Make sure to keep up with us this summer to see all the exciting things coming our way!
