Letter from our Vice President of Recruitment

Dear Potential New Members,

Hi!! My name is Ellise Barker, and I have the privilege of serving as this year's Vice President of Recruitment for Alpha Gamma Delta.

I remember how it felt to be a PNM- a mix of nerves, excitement, and anticipation as I prepared for, not only the week ahead, but the start of my college career. My best advice (though cliché) is to be yourself and know that you will end up where you are meant to be! Everyone who has come before you has experienced these same feelings, and we are here to support you in finding the chapter where you feel at home!

When I went through recruitment 3 years ago, I knew that I wanted to meet people who would help me grow into a better version of myself.

The first time I walked through Alpha Gam's green doors, I could tell that the members genuinely loved each other, and I saw a place where I could grow into the woman I wanted to become in a place that would provide me with love and support along the way. At Alpha Gam, I have met so many intelligent, kind, and ambitious women who have inspired me to be the best version of myself, both academically and personally. Our members are incredibly ambitious in school, service, and leadership. They are also supportive in ways I'd never experienced before - they'll drop anything to go on a coffee run or debrief over a meal. Whether we are blasting music on our porches or working a shift at Atlanta Community Food Bank for our philanthropy, fighting hunger, I know that, no matter what I do, I am surrounded by women whom I admire and love. Through Alpha Gam, I have grown into a more confident, ambitious, and compassionate version of myself. Beyond that, I have also met some of my best friends and made memories I know I will cherish for the rest of my life. 

At Alpha Gam, we love recruitment because it gives us the opportunity to welcome people into our beautiful home and build connections with so many accomplished and unique women! We are so excited to meet each and every one of you soon and share a glimpse into our sisterhood and what it’s like to be a member of our chapter! We are already counting the days until we get to meet you! 

If you have any questions about recruitment or greek life at Tech, please do not hesitate to reach out! I am so excited to meet you all, and I hope that, no matter where you end up, you find a home at Tech where you feel comfortable, cherished, and confident!

Loyally, 

Ellise Barker

ALPHA GAM LIFE AFTER COLLEGE

Alumnae members of Alpha Gamma Delta have endless opportunities to stay involved with the Fraternity. Alpha Gamma Delta can provide a lifelong ability to give back, whether you choose to volunteer with a collegiate chapter as an advisor or with a larger role on the Volunteer Service Team. Many cities and areas across North American have Alumnae Chapters and Clubs that alumnae can join to keep with with sisters and meet other Alpha Gams close to home.

Alpha Gamma Delta has developed a comprehensive membership development program called the Alpha Gamma Delta Experience. The Alpha Gamma Delta Experience consists of three components:

THE ALPHA EXPERIENCE

The goal of the Alpha Experience is to help new members acclimate to Fraternity life and set expectations for membership. With an emphasis on sisterhood, the Alpha Experience consists of five key programs: Scholarship, Values, Life Balance, Operations and History.

THE GAMMA EXPERIENCE

The Gamma Experience is focused on individual and chapter growth and provides members the opportunity to learn more about themselves and develop skills that will impact them for a lifetime. Throughout the two-year program, members discuss the relevance of each line of the Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose in today's society and participate in group and individual activities surrounding these lines. Individual reflection is also a component of this program.

THE DELTA EXPERIENCE

The Delta Experience was created to help seniors navigate the transition from collegiate to alumnae life. Through senior-specific activities with local alumnae chapters/clubs and Junior Circles, the Delta Experience allows seniors to prepare for life after college as they reflect on their collegiate experience with activities such as Senior Recognition Week.
Together, these components offer all Alpha Gamma Deltas the necessary tools to become strong, progressive women who make a positive difference in the lives of others. The Fraternity is confident that the Alpha Gamma Delta Experience will benefit our members by providing the framework for lifelong, personal and professional development.

Alpha Gamma Delta provides its members with a defining college experience that lasts a lifetime. Inspired by the vision and values defined by our Founders, Alpha Gamma Delta cherishes the lifelong opportunity to share sisterhood. We challenge our members to lead lives of significance that positively impact their communities.

We take to heart our message to Live with Purpose, which at its simplest means that we will be there for your daughter, encouraging her to take care of herself and those around her, to become the best version of herself that she can be and to share her talents to make a difference in the world. We are proud to have the opportunity to be part of your daughter’s journey and we take that honor and responsibility seriously.

Alpha Gamma Delta now uses a Recruitment Information Form (RIF) in lieu of a recommendation form or letter.

Members and non-members are encouraged to recommend Potential New Members who embody our values for membership through the Recruitment Information Form. Upon completion, this form will notify chapters of PNMs participating in the Primary Recruitment and/or COB process.

Recruitment Information Forms are not a requirement—nor do they guarantee membership—but they are beneficial to our chapters when filled out as completely as possible.

If you are a Potential New Member seeking someone to write a Recruitment Information Form on your behalf, you are encouraged to contact a collegiate or alumnae member of Alpha Gamma Delta who has known you for at least one year—or someone who knows you well, such as a close family friend or teacher. To find an alumnae chapter/club near you, use our chapter locator.

Your local Panhellenic alumnae chapter may also be able to provide additional guidance on Information Forms.

If you have questions about the form, email recommendations@alphagammadelta.org or contact the Membership Growth Team at International Headquarters at 317.663.4200. You may also contact our Director of Membership, Jessica Kalloor, at membership.gtagd@gmail.com.
