03 j-j CD by emily demarco Alpha Gamma Delta had a year full of successes and accomplishments. Each girl in the house brought a unique trait to the group, making the sorority very well rounded. [This sorority] is very open minded to diversity. A lot of girls aren ' t looking for diversity when they join a sorority. I feel like all of us are very different, Liz Chang, LSA junior, noted. One of the most important activities for the house was their philanthropy project that supported people with Diabetes. In order to raise money for this, the sisters held their annual Alpha Gam Pie Slam and cleaned up Yost Arena. Amy Lees, sophomore music major, commented, ! think it s just a lot of fun and obviously it ' s for a good cause too. Inside the house, enjoyed each other ' s company. Jessica Badt, senior political science and women studies major, explained, I came back to this house only and got to know the alums that were rushing girls and the girls that were rushing with me and absolutely fell in love with it. This is the place for me. Every one in the house supported everyone else and it was a nice blend of personalities. Many girls also got involved in many other activities around campus. Chang was involved in the affirmative action debate, which was unique to a Panhellenic member. My freshman year I formed an Asian American group called Asian Americans for Altering Affirmative Action. Time Magazine actually interviewed me last March, Chang remarked. AGD had a women ' s hockey player for the Wolverines and even a sister who was a member of the Equestrian Team. Rebecca Witherell, freshman pre-med, explained, We have an understanding here that being in other things besides the sorority helps build other aspects of your character that you may not be getting here. We want to build the best person we can and to have them in the sorority. So we encourage outside activities for growth. 03 E E 03 03 .C Ql 03 (p ( We have an understanding here that being in other things besides the sorority helps build other aspects of your character that you may not be getting here.
