Oce for Fraternity and Sorority Leadership Development

MMAlpha Gamma Delta is a values-driven organization that encourages all members to Live with Purpose. Guided by our Purpose, Alpha Gams are inspired to better them-selves and in turn, better the world around them. On October 13, 2013, our sisterhood achieved signicant growth at the Universi-ty of Southern California, as Alpha Gamma Delta welcomed over 130 new members into the organization and the USC greek commu-nity. MMWhen choosing the right women to join the newest sorority at USC, Alpha Gamma Delta looked for women who were leaders on campus, who were interested in being trailblazers by starting something new and who wanted to make a positive impact in the community. Alpha Gam has been pleased with the amount of support and excitement received from the greek community at USC this fall. Additionally, the Delta Alpha Chap-ter of Alpha Gamma Delta is the original home to numerous USC alumnae in the Los Angeles area and many of these women have already found a way to be involved with the new chapter through joining the advisor team and attending colony events. MM

MMSince Alpha Gam’s Bid Day, the found-ing members have celebrated many rsts together including their Sisterhood Re-treat, Trojan Family Weekend and Presents, Homecoming Week, the Greek Gala, sister-hood events and so much more. e colony members have shown tremendous enthu-siasm as they continue to work together to build a sisterhood, establish traditions and set the standards for the chapter for years to come. e new members of the colony will be initiated the weekend of January 25, 2014 and will receive their charter as the Delta Al-pha Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta. Once the chapter has been installed, the chapter will hold elections and the rst ocers of Alpha Gam at USC will continue to build upon what our founders at Syracuse started so many years ago. MMank you to members of USC’s greek community who supported Alpha Gamma Delta in our recruitment eorts this fall. We are looking forward to being a part of your community for years to come!

2013 Greek GalaAn evening to long remember...

MMOn Friday, November 22, 2013, almost 400 members of USC’s greek community gathered in Town and Gown to celebrate their interfraternalism and induct outstand-ing alumni and parents into the 2013 Greek Hall of Fame! Chaired by Jackie Rosen, Pan-hellenic Council EVP, the Hall of Fame was a new addition to the growing tradition of the Greek Gala. All chapters were requested to nominate their outstanding alumni lead-ers and parent volunteers-- individuals whose time and talents have contributed immea-surably to the sustained excellence of USC’s greek community in a variety of ways. MMAfter the reception with passed hors d’oevres, the formal program was kicked o by Roxie Friberg, 2013 Panhellenic Presi-dent, who welcomed guests and introduced the Troy Tones. Panhellenic is indebted to the Delta Delta Delta Panhellenic Delegate who arranged for their wonderful performance. Dr. Ainsley Carry, Vice-Provost for Student Aairs, greeted those assembled and added remarks on behalf of senior administration. A slide show representing all of the councils and their activities was shown, prepared by Lauren Fields, Panhellenic Vice-President of Scholarship. All 5 greek councils were highlighted with their achievements of the past year from the podium. In addition Paige Adams-Geller, Delta Gamma, presented re-marks as the keynote speaker, focusing on how her experiences as a USC greek have catapulted her to entrepreneurial success.

2013 Greek Gala

MMe 2013 Greek Gala also featured a silent auction and casino games. All Panhel-lenic chapters and many chapter parent clubs contributed unique and exciting items to the silent auction to add to the money raised for the USC Greek Endowment Fund through the 2013 Greek Gala. On behalf of the 2013 Panhellenic Executive Board, I want to express our deep appreciation for all those who attended and for the countless hours of meticulous planning contributed by 2013 Panhellenic Executive Board members and Panhellenic Delegates.

MMe Panhellenic Council had a very eventful fall semester at USC, and I couldn’t be more proud or honored to represent such a wonderful group of motivated, talented, and accomplished women. e semester was o to a great start, with over 1,050 women par-ticipating in recruitment-- a record breaking number in USC’s 100 year history! rough-out formal recruitment, the Panhellenic Council worked collectively with each chap-ter to create greater transparency regarding recruitment rules and regulations. Addition-ally, we emphasized a values-based recruit-ment for both the chapters and potential new members. e newest chapter of Panhellenic, Alpha Gamma Delta, successfully re-colo-nized this past fall with over 130 bids oered to new members. Alpha Gamma Delta will be participating in formal recruitment next fall, and will be moving into their renovated house on 28th Street this spring. MMPanhellenic also continued to develop innovative procedures to manage risk among the chapters and increase involvement with DPS ocers, LAPD, USC Counseling Ser-vices, and e Center for Women and Men. Panhellenic attended the weekly DPS meet-ings with the Interfraternity presidents to de-brief every weekend and understand what the community needs. In addition, Panhellenic held bi-weekly meetings with chapter presi-dents and risk managers to brainstorm, share risk management ideas and come up with a system of best practices. Panhellenic was ac-tively involved in meetings with administra-tors throughout the fall semester and helped build the language for a new social policy at USC.

MMPhilanthropy has always been important to the greek community. is past semester, the Panhellenic Council organized Food Truck Wars, a day-long event in Alumni Park featuring 3 food trucks and an accessory boutique truck. Each truck paid a $75 §at fee to participate and contributed an additional 15% of their revenue throughout the day for Camp Kesum, the winner of our pitch com-petition in April. Over $1000 was raised in total for Camp Kesum. is was also a great opportunity to spread information about their organization for children with cancer. In addition, Panhellenic participated in Friends and Neighbors Day at Blazers Youth LA, an after-school learning center for children in the local community.

MMAlso this semester, Panhellenic has placed a strong emphasis on scholarship. PHC is proud to announce that the Pan-hellenic Women’s GPA is higher than the all-women’s GPA at USC. Panhellenic continued its faculty appreciation program, where each chapter recognizes 2 professors for innovative teaching. e nominated pro-fessors receive a special engraved pen thank-ing them for their contributions to USC ac-ademics. Additionally, an advertisement was placed in the Daily Trojan acknowledging all of the professors that were recognized. e Panhellenic Council also created incentives to promote scholarship among the chapters. e chapter with the highest GPA received a food truck as a reward, and the runner up received cupcakes. Individual members with

a GPA of 3.8 or higher were rewarded as well and received cupcakes along with an encour-aging note. Finally, the Panhellenic Council oered a $1,000 scholarship to every chapter to award to one of their deserving members. MMe Panhellenic Council continued to form strong relationships with campus organizations, and increased our visibili-ty with the University. On November 19th, Panhellenic participated in an interactive ally training workshop with the LGBT Resource Center. Panhellenic also helped set the groundwork for the “Let’s Talk about Sex” event with the Women’s Student Assembly. We are very excited to continue working with these organizations for years to come!

MMe Interfraternity Council had a great semester at USC this fall. Nine Interfrater-nity Council scholarships were awarded in the amount of $1,000 in order to maintain a focus on the high quality and caliber of men in the greek community. Additionally, IFC implemented the all greek calendar and event registration in order to help maintain transparency between the university and the fraternities, helping chapters to plan events more easily and to encourage early event planning. e Interfraternity Council also increased two-way communication with the Department of Public Safety by plan-ning weekly meetings with Chief Adams. Together, they implemented an event re-sponse team. MMe Interfraternity Council was pleased to hold the second LGBT Ally Training ses-sion this fall. is semester’s training was geared towards ocers and leaders in each chapter, in order to equip them with the tools necessary to make their chapters LGBT safe zones. Finally, the Interfraternity Council led the USC Greek Movember Initiative and helped raised over $27,000.

Kappa Kappa Gamma

MMis fall was a wonderful semester for our chapter. Specically, one highlight that made this semester special was our amazing experience with GIRLS Academy: Girls In-spiring Respect Leadership and Service. It was an honor to be selected by Kappa Kappa Gamma Headquarters to host GIRLS Acad-emy at USC and to be seen as role models and mentors for these middle school aged girls was truly a gift. It was a growing experi-ence not only for the participants of GIRLS Academy but also for our active members.
