To A Future Alpha Gam Girl:

I hope Alpha Gam is everything you want it to be and more.

I want you to feel that sense of belonging each time you walk into a room with the essence of red, buff, and green during recruitment. I want you to feel that instant gratitude of being surrounded by women that just simply “get” you.

I wish that when you get handed your bid card, though you may repeat over and over in your head that no matter what the card says “everything happens for a reason,” truly wishing nothing but to see Alpha Gamma Delta written across it. Along with that, the excitement that fills you until you think you could pop at any instant when you realize that wish came true.

I yearn for you to experience that blurry rush of running into the arms of your newfound sisters. Sisters who are jumping up and down, chanting their best cheers. Sisters who are holding up handmade squirrel posters with your name in big, glittery letters across it. Sisters who you don’t even know (but already know you) yet already feel close to.

I hope you find an excuse to wear pearls to any function you can. I hope you feel the need to buy every squirrel themed sign, figurine, or home décor. I hope you put AGD on all of your possession, including all forms of social media, with pride and joy. I hope you throw what you know in every new city you travel to.

I want you to learn, over time, how each and every line of the purpose applies to you, which you will realize through experiences that are incredibly unique to you. And only you.

Wisdom.

Health.

Friendship.

Service.

Talent.

Kindness.

Womanhood.

All of these words may not mean something to you yet, but they already are instilled in you. That’s part of what makes you an Alpha Gam girl.
