LETTER FROM THE COLLEGIATE-ALUMNAE RELATIONS COORDINATOR
"Joining Gamma Phi Beta gave me an immediate feeling of Sisterhood and family as an oversees student this helped me adjust to university life. Charity work has always been important to me and I am happy to be able to continue this through our philanthropic activities. We encourage each other to be the best that we can be and I have made what will be lifelong friends.
At my first Founders Day celebration I sat with a group of Alumnae ladies, one of which was Initiated 50 years ago. Their enthusiasm and wonderful stories connected me to the rich history of the Sorority, I am proud to represent the values of Gamma Phi and all that we have achieved. I look forward to continuing my involvement after my University career.
The GTA Alumnae Chapter stays up-to-date with Chapter happenings through the informative monthly newsletter. Alumnae Members often volunteer their time as advisers which the Actives greatly appreciate and admire. The ladies volunteer to help during recruitment and the New Member Initiation Ceremony. During the Alumnae Tea newly initiated Members are introduced. The Annual Founders Day lunch brings everyone together for an afternoon of laughter, memories, reflection and gratitude for our four founders.
When you join Gamma Phi it becomes part of your identity, teaching you core principles to live by and guiding you on your journey into adulthood and beyond."
