The St. Louis Alumnae Chapter has received the recognition of the Order of 1874 through the Alumnae Order of the Crescent (AOOC).  Notification from IH reads: Gamma Phi Beta wants to congratulate you for your hard work this year to engage alumnae in St. Louis. Your service to Gamma Phi Beta is so appreciated as you connect sisters in your area to each other and our sisterhood. In receiving the highest honor awarded by the AOOC, you have shown true dedication and commitment to your chapter and our members. This is an achievement to celebrate! 

SPONSOR A NEW MOON!
Zeta Delta (Southeast Missouri State)   is starting a new chapter program for their new members connecting them with alumnae.  See the message below from Tori Kopff, Zeta Delta's current Membership Vice President.
 

We’d love for as many of you as possible to write a note to a member of our new incoming Fall 21 pledge class, so they can open these letters in their bid day bags! You can include advice, words of wisdom, tips on how to manage college, your favorite memories of Gamma Phi, etc. These letters will show our new member class how much our sisterhood has impacted all of you. If you feel inclined to write a letter please have them in the mail by AUGUST 18TH.
Send the letters to: Tori Kopff
829 Themis Street
Cape Girardeau, MO 6370
Or email: zetadeltamvp@gmail.com
If you would like to contribute further, we would happily accept any donations to help cover cost for our new members. Remember how special your bid day was and all the goodies you received. Your donations will help cover the cost of the items inside of their bags.
